Located in Sacramento, La Venadita has quickly become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors alike, celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere and truly authentic flavors. Patrons rave about the beautiful setting, which perfectly complements the delicious Mexican cuisine on offer. Tisha Hickerson describes the ambiance as stunning, while Iyana Lowe enjoys solo dining with their notable taco and margarita happy hour deal.
The standout item on the menu appears to be the carnitas, highly praised by Brad Moriel, who rates it as a #1 choice.

I love this place. I love taking myself on solo dates here . My favorite is the taco and margarita deal in happy hour . The food is different ( in a good way ) but very tasty . Great atmosphere and location . Servers are ALWAYS in a good mood and helpful.

My wife and I have lived in Oak Park for 5 years now and one of our absolute favorite dates is a walk across the park, a couple of margaritas and tacos from La V! Carnitas is #1, Vamprio #2 but they're all delicious depending on the mood you're in. Also, the Enchiladas with Mole is Thanks for being a wonderful spot to share an evening and make memories with friends and family. Would give 11/10 stars if that was an option. We love y'all!!

They were very busy but the staff didn't make it seem like it. The mole on the enchiladas was a lil different from what I'm used to (it was more red/tomato-y) but it was SO good. I've been thinking about it ever since lol

Cool place to visit and good prices. The tacos taste great! My favorites are the crispy pork and the steak tacos. I would post photos of the tacos, but I inhaled them before I thought of it.

Very friendly staff. Place is clean, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was quick, but keep in mind that I went early in the day (12PM). I ordered the Combo plate (taco enchilada) which came out, with taxes, at 15.17. Food was good. There are a variety of meat options and drink options as well.

You cannot beat Taco Tuesday here. Such a deal. On any day, the food is ALWAYS fresh and delicious. There's a lovely, dog friendly patio, and even a streetside area to eat at, should al fresco be your jam. The high ceilings make the inside feel spacious and comfortable, no matter how busy it is.

Taco Tuesday— 2.95 special taco of day. Crowded, but turns over about right, and makes place feel great. I love Vampiro & Crispy Chicken. The vampiro comes with 2 tortillas, so divide it into 2! My husband is big fan of fish taco. A side of rice & beans is 3 and rounds out meal. Always have Jamaica to drink!
