WAY better than your average family mexican restaurant. Delicious “secret sauce,” homemade tortillas, perfectly cooked flank steak in the carne asada plate, and great burrito bowl. The rest of the family loved the Fiesta Salad

Great food, great service. I had a combo plate with an enchilada and two tacos. Split an app with a friend, potato tacos. Everything was amazing. They have a secret sauce on the table that is an awesome salad dressing. It was good with some salsa on the chops too. Carne asada taco street style is great. The chicken taco regular style was awesome too. First time. Love how they have their own flavors.

Asked for no beans, got them. New plate..”where’s the chicken”, a lot of lettuce. Asked if I wanted a refill on drink just when we were ready to leave. Lunch same price of dinner..asked for more chips, never came. A group of 8..so disappointed

This has got to be the worst mexican food in Chico. Like coming from down south where Mexican food has flavor. This was super white washed and bland. The chicken wasn’t seasoned. The salsa is basically just tomato sauce. The rice was bland. The cheese wasn’t melted. Like I know it’s hard to find good Mexican food The more North you go, but this was not worth the money.

The girl put a plate of food on my table. I questioned her about it because I didn’t think it was mine after I Had it in front of me. She came back by a few minutes later took it from me and gave it To another table never ask if I ate off of it. Or not she? Just took. It and gave it to somebody else? Me and a couple of other tables witnessed this and we’re just shocked.

The items were all expensive, the food tasted fine but was not worth the price, my burrito only had the steak mixture, and 3 of the people in our party had stomach issues after, guac was gonna be 6$, and the free chips and salsa, the salsa only tasted of cumin. for being near 2 other mexican places they need to up their game

One of our family favorites! Salsa is hearty and delicious. … but the highlight is always the Squirt bottles of their “special sauce” . OMG we put it on everything! Tangy, sweet and just perfect as my salad dressing. Kid friendly, and we watched the world series play out in bar area. Generous seating, great service, best value.

Spent $50 on 2 tostadas and 2 chips and salsa. Waste of money, you can get better at La Comida for cheaper.
