Cafe Marika, Sacramento, California Restaurant Details

Food:

I eat here once a week and enjoy the honest, delicious food. If you have any dietary concerns including Vegetarian, ask then and they will customize for you.

Food:

I went to Cafe Marika with 5 ladies of my book club and my grandson on a Thursday evening. I made a reservation in advance since this place is extremely tiny. It is probably better suited for just a small gathering, but the food was very good. I had the pork schnitzel with potato salad, which looked and tasted delicious. All the dishes came with a nice salad and a piece of apple strudel for dessert.

Only 2 choices of salad dressing though: Italian and Blue cheese, but the salad was really fresh and crisp! I will definitely be back for the schnitzel meal.

Food:

My favorite restaurant in the Sacramento area. Can't beat it for the price. Tiny place, limited menu, excellent homestyle Eastern European food. Owned and operated by hardworking husband and wife. He cooks; she serves.

Food:

I eat there about 3 times a week for lunch. The owners came from Czechoslovakia and the restaurant has been open for almost 30 years. I know and love Slovak food, and this is the real deal, served up by great people.

Food:

I haven't been to the restaurant, just making comments on what I see as an actual Hungarian.
The owners are not Hungarian. Neither of those names are Hungarian names. They are Slavic names.
The menu is quite Hungarian and Chicken Paprikash (csirkepaprikás) looks good but the Goulash man.. (gulyásleves) that has nothing to do with the actual one (gulyás is more like a soup or stew) . We'd never throw a bunch of chopped up beef on rice. In fact we hardly use rice for our national dishes . Except for Stuffed Cabbage (töltött káposzta) and a few others. We use potatoes.
It's like when you try to run an authentic restaurant you kinda need to change the menu a bit to fit the host country's taste I guess.

I'm not giving it a bad review though, because I'm sure it's a nice restaurant with lovely owners and tasty food.
