Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable taco outlets in Sacramento, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to satisfy your cravings.

Topping the list is Tako Korean BBQ. Located at 3030 T St. in Alhambra Triangle, the Korean spot, which offers barbecue and tacos, is the most popular inexpensive taco spot in Sacramento, boasting four stars out of 1,306 reviews on Yelp. 

Arthur C. noted, "I'm a big fan of the Korean-Mexican fusion, and this place might be the champion. I had the gaige bulgogi quesadilla and galbi tacos — that taco was piled high for days! Enough meat that each taco became two tacos."

2. Panaderia Los Arcos

Next up is South City Farms's Panaderia Los Arcos, situated at 2782 Fruitridge Road. With 4.5 stars out of 68 reviews on Yelp, the spot to score tacos has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an inexpensive option. 

Yelper Thanh B., who reviewed Panaderia Los Arcos on March 18, wrote, "Aside from their food being flavorful and delicious, they also provide a condiment bar for you to spice up your food further. This would include various toppings like chopped cilantro, diced white onions, habanero vinegar-soaked onions, sliced radish and limes."

3. Yolanda's Tamales Factory

Parkway's Yolanda's Tamales Factory, located at 6885 Luther Drive, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the low-priced food truck, which offers tacos and more, 4.5 stars out of 54 reviews. 

Sacramento's first tamale truck also serves up traditional street tacos with steak, pork and chicken, as well as its signature taco with cilantro, onions, cheese, sour cream and avocado salsa.
