“ This place was recommended for us to try because it was dubbed the "best Mexican restaurant in town" and actually- it's pretty good! Definitely worth it! You order your food first and if you decide to dine in, you also get chips and salsa. They have a huge menu! Breakfast, soups, combination plates, etc. so many different options.! You can also grab your own hot salsas that are prepped for you on the side.. and on the tables, they have different options for you too. Just to add (because this made a huge impression on our friends; their chili oil) their home made chili oil; it's really good! The service was great! It has a family owned feel to it and everyone was very open to help. if you have questions about the menu or the food options, they were more than willing to help, in-addition to giving you their opinion on what would taste better. The portions are big! We also tried their cucumber water drink (our first time trying it) was delicious. It's given to you in a huge mug! All-in-all, definitely worth it. This place was delicious! ”
“ Fantastic authentic Mexican cuisine and friendly staff. Large portions, I could barely eat half of my chicken enchiladas plate! ”
“ Best tacos and burritos in Chico, IMO. People there are very nice. Good salsa bar from Mild to very hot. ”
“ I came in 5 minutes before they closed, jerk move on my part but I had just gotten off of work & was starving & craving a California burrito. They were super nice & let me order, and the food was amazing. Pastor was so juicy & well seasoned. The French fries still had some good crisp texture but the burrito was still well dressed w salsas. It was amazing, and not just because I was starving. Absolutely fire. ”
“ Breakfast burritos are always amazing! We get chorizo or bacon, with egg and potato. They always taste fresh and are full of the good stuff, not just filler. 10/10 for speed too. ”
“ Best fish tacos I have had, delicious cooked tortillas, rice and beans were seasoned amazing. VERY good food. That aside, I received a to-go order and when I got home I noticed an item was wrong, I took it back. I worry people will be annoyed when returning or remaking items, but the cook came out and personally apologized, offered a drink on the house. Amazing service, Amazing food, Awesome cooks. ”
“ Best chilaquiles!! Get the green sauce with over-easy eggs. You'll thank me later! I was honestly so surprised how good they were the first time I had them. Their salsa bar is a little on the small side, but it does have some solid choices nonetheless. The staff has always been nice and helpful. And the restaurant and bathroom is kept reasonably clean and in good shape. I've only come here during brunch/lunch hours during the weekday and it's never been busy. I also like how they have booths as well as tables. I have tried their horchata as well, but it was just average. Again, stick with the green chilaquiles and you'll be good. ”
“ I was in town to go visit a customer along with my Manager. We found this restaurant on Yelp and with the many 5 Star ratings, decided to try the food for lunch. Nice and clean restaurant and we really enjoyed the Mexican music being played. There was a condiment station with lots of different sauce flavors. There was even jalapeños and onions. This is a nice touch. My lunch was very good. Very tasty and delicious. I booked marked them for a future visit. ”
