And the carnitas. And the patio. I haven't had a bad meal there yet - I'm picky about my Mexican food. The Dos Equis is ice cold, the chips are crisp and hot, the service is always friendly. If you have veggie or vegan friends (as I do), bring them in for the Natural Soup. Big-time hit.

The Shack has a lot going for it. A nicely shaded patio, a laid-back vibe and possibly the best beer selection in Sacramento. However it’s hard to enjoy all that when children are running among the tables, screaming, wielding sidewalk chalk and playing hopscotch. My last visit here reminded me of my niece’s seventh birthday party without the American Girl dolls. Granted, it was a Friday, which is perhaps not the best time to visit a family friendly restaurant in East Sacramento.

Still, the Shack introduced me to some previously unknown drinking pleasures, like Grimbergen, a Belgian beer served in a wide-mouthed goblet. You could spend an entire evening here trying new and interesting beers you’ve never heard of, but the place closes at 8 p.m. and is only open on weekdays. And if you’re a vegetarian, beer might be all you will have at The Shack because meatless options are scarce – perhaps one or two pasta items and some fries. Knowing the Shack’s limitations, I will plan my next trip accordingly: pack a PB&J, visit at 5 p.m. on a school night, sit at the tiny bar and make sure someone else can drive me home.
