Executive Chef Kurt Spataro spent a great deal of time in the kitchens of Mexico, and credits regional guru Diane Kennedy with some of the menu’s inspiration. Choose from an extensive selection of appetizers, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fresh fish, grilled meats, poultry and housemade desserts. All ingredients are prepared fresh daily, which is apparent in the quality and flavor of each dish serv

Located on the bustling corner of 28th & J Streets, Centro has remained one of the best midtown Sacramento restaurants due to its commitment to fresh, authentic cuisine, its extensive list of tequilas (150 and counting) and margaritas and the friendly, energetic staff.
