I can say with absolute confidence that this small but epic establishment is my favorite place to eat out in the entire world. I am certain that if given the opportunity to eat antonios .75 cent carne asada tacos every day I totally would. I have been a patron of this location for a decade. The tacos I ordered then are the exact same tacos I get when I order them now. I moved out of the area for awhile, ya know, life stuff. Every time I came back to visit family I made it a point to eat at Antonio's Quick Lunch. They are consistent in their food quality and customer service and there is a level of personal nostalgia I have with this place. I rarely actually eat their delicious tacos there though, because of the restaurant's revolving customers and tight space I find it just more enjoyable to pick up Antonio's and take it home or chow down on it at a park. But this is total personal preference. I think a lot of people overlook this place because of it's initial appearance but I strongly urge any that have yet to enjoy the food here to take a chance and bravely venture into this hidden gem. Items I order with frequency include but are not limited to... Gordo Nachos Garbage Burritos Carne Asada Tacos Crispy Marinated Beef Tacos YUM! In closing, I nearly died earlier this year (not even remotely kidding). I spent a week in the hospital and my family and friends asked what I wanted to do once well, and I had a singularly simple desire... eat Antonio's tacos. read more

Antonio's Quick Lunch - Carne Asada Tacos... in their seventy-five cent glory. *drool* - Mexican Near Me - Yuba City, California

We have driven by several times and the line has always been wrapped around the building so we figured that the food must be amazing. To say we were disappointed is spot on. The food was cafeteria style and the price was way too much for the quality. I'm not the type to complain about what a meal out costs WHEN the food is good, this wasn't. Seems to have a large fan base so good for them. Not our style. read more

I feel Antonio's Quick Lunch has the best chicken tacos hands down in town. They are flavorful with just the right amount of kick. Try this place out you won't be sorry. The inside is not very big and they get busy so just know that. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they open a store here in Marysville. By the way I Love Carmen. She's one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. read more

OMG! I can't believe I had the most immaculate experience ever. Mind you not, don't let looks fool you, but man. They have the most delicious epic burrito ever! And why epic, here are the ingredients that was penetrated in it by the Chef Boyardee: 1 tortilla flour Possibly 10 scoops of beans (Joey Guesstimate) Hella Shredded Beef Hella Cheese Hella Lettuce Hella Avocado (extra charge though) And i think that was it..... It was hella bombzzzzzzz... And don't forget their Horchata, they told me it was home made. And it tasted like it. I had hella of it. This place is a must visit. And don't judge a book by its cover... Its what the food counts, you feel me... Any way, keep it up Maria. Stahhhhhp Flirting with me. ;) Namm sayinn.. Concentrate. LOL! read more

See all

I love this place. It is honestly the best Mexican food around. It's always made quickly and it always taste good. The prices are good $.75 tacos who could complain. Only downside.. Don't go after 8. I went and the food was poorly seasoned the staff seemed bored and unhappy. I got tacos and a burrito and they were just poorly made. Go during the day read more

Antonio's Quick Lunch - Garbage nachos and sopes - Mexican Near Me - Yuba City, California

Do we start with the rude cashier who also takes the phone orders or the fact that the service is slow or that you should be cautious of the candy machines at the door taking your money, the hair, the cleanliness, the communication or the panhandler out front? My office called in an order for me to pick up. When asked to repeat the order to make sure we got it all the woman/cashier on the phone REFUSED stating "I have a line to the door I don't have time to repeat it back" then hung up. I left before hearing this happened to run an errand then headed over. Noticed the pan handler but no harm no foul. I was greeted by a line to the door. I waited at least 30 minutes to get to the head of the line. While waiting I popped in a couple quarters for a 'homie' toy. Machine took my quarters, so I shook the machine & tried again with success. I got a Lucia libre in case you were wondering. While waiting in line a waitress comes out to deliver food to a table and accidentally nudges my elbow (my hands on hip waiting). I smile and say excuse me and was met with a glare and a size up. I had to hold back my laughter but did chuckle. Get to the cashier finally and greeted with a stone cold look. I said I was there to pick up and gave my name assuming they took it over the phone (they didn't). She totaled it up and turned around and put it on the order board (yes that much work). I asked if it was ready & she said NO. I asked if it was customary to not make the call in order until the customer comes in as I had already waited and lunch time is limited. She stated "well we don't know if your calling the order in for THIS store". Uhhhh what... So I ask her to read me her chicken scratched order to make sure it had everything. (it was an order for 6 people). Annoyed she did and surprising it was right. She informed me they would make it then, so I waited to the right of the register. There was no place to sit as the place was full. So I get the order, ask if there was sauce in the bags. I suppose I had grown 3 heads by that time because it seemed to be a foreign request. I wrangle 1 red sauce cup & 1 green sauce cup (6 people)...and leave. Get back to the office and one of the staff finds a hair wound up in the chicken breast. Bottom line: don't bother calling in your order, don't come here if you have a limited lunch time and don't expect any type of service. Not good for groups as its too small. 99 cent ATM fee. Their flagship item is their "garbage burrito" which includes 5 types meat (hair extra lol). Their super burritos are good. Refried beans have too much oil and are runny. Best food IMHO is their 75 cent tacos. read more

this place is like Taco Bells crack addicted step child. The place is a mess the food is a mess and the menu has things on it CALLED "Garbage". The cheese they use is canned nacho cheese from Costco. They have a place like this in San Jose called Taco Bravo or as the locals call it "Taco Barfo" This is authentic Mexican food like Olive Garden is fine Italian dining. read more

The best little hole in the wall in town! I can't believe it took me so long to discover this place. This place was made popular by their 75 cent tacos. I'd have to say my favorite things to order are bean, cheese and rice burritos with sour cream(aka boring), the spicy pork tacos, and carne asada nachos. (Protip: If you order nachos, even if you're eating in, order them to go! You'll get more. .... Can you see my fat rolls from there?) I crave this place multiple times a week. The people who work here are friendly, and work HARD. You eat here for the cheap, delicious food, not the environment. This place is the exact opposite of fancy, and if that bothers you, simply get it to go! read more

First off I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place! I love Antonio's! I love the food here, even tho I am picky and tend to have the spicy stuff off my tacos. Depending on the time you go it can be deserted or jam packed! Either way don't let this detour you! I tend to get one of the lunch specials with the soft tacos (carne asada), I just feel if you're gonna eat home style Mexican tacos you should get rice & beans, so I do. The garbage burritos & nachos are huge & typically can feed 2 people. Eating in can be a chore sometimes, they have booths, though not many, I think 6 or 8 but like I said it's typically either packed or empty. Of course it can be a bear if it's busy no matter what, the restaurant is SMALL so it can kind of look like a cluster F_!K with a line outside the door with people ordering and a line of people waiting for their orders. The food is made to order, yes the meat may be already cooked but its not like it's sitting under warming lights for hours at a time. Prices are good, though they aren't the best at estimating their taxes so sometimes you'll pay an extra 5 to 10 cents on your order. (No they don't add your total and then figure out the tax with their cash register, but I digress.) Depending on the time of day you'll also get different cashiers with varied attitudes & grasps of the English language. (Younger girls speak better English with poorer attitude and the opposite is for the Older staff.) If you're worried check your food! At least at this place if you ask for your order to be made again you don't have to worry about someone spitting in your food, because you can literally watch them make it. But if you're not fluent in Spanish you won't understand what they are saying about you. Anyways any of the 'bad' is always out weighed by the good food I have ALWAYS gotten! Oh and just ignore the transients, they have never bugged me in the past 9 years I've been going to this joint. read more

Tried their famous taco deal....don't bother. Many better places to eat than here. Spend a couple more cents per taco and each much better somewhere else. No gracias. read more

I had lunch here yesterday, Taquitos lunch. They really can't taste much different anywhere you get them except for a few things that can make them taste, just bad. After all, we are talking about tortillas with a tablespoon of meat, dropped into vat of oil. Ahhh, that is the deal breaker. At Antonios: They were crisp, not over cooked, with crunchy edges and hollowed out from cooking waaaaaay too long The oil was fresh, not rancid which DOES make a huge difference They topped them off with a huge mound of lettuce, sauce and Mexican cheese Overall, they were delicious spicy little wraps of mouth watering joy. Portion size though, leaves little to be desired. Since I don't need to gorge myself, that's ok (though I may want to on a really bad day). But a grown man may need to order a taco or two to go alongside the taquito lunch that included beans and rice. Having arrived at 11:50, it was getting pretty crowded pretty fast. The establishment was clean and the folks behind the counter preparing the food were workin' it. This is a big deal! To see people actually hustling to get your order out fast during a busy hour. That really got my attention. One individual was walking around and constantly picking up plates and napkins off the tables. Somewhat close to table service and I thought that was pretty cool. I gave Antonio's 4 stars because I have been pretty limited on my food choices there and don't think it's fair to rate on food I haven't tried. I was really impressed by the freshness of the food and thought it was great that they were moving and cleaning and really staying on top of it during the lunch rush. read more

The place is definitely a dive. Small with a bum often begging by the door, but it doesn't detract as badly as one may think. There is a fairly good selection of cheap food, which is good but not great. Tamales usually run out quickly so it's best to come early if you want one. The garbage burritos are huge and tasty, well worth the 5 or so dollars it costs. Horchatas here tend to be a little...grainy. All in all worth checking out. read more

I admit to being a picky eater, and this is actually the only place we've found that I really like after 4+ years of living in the area. The good: the prices are seriously excellent and the food is yummy. Seriously, the 75 cent tacos are fantastic, and the price means that we can eat out for about the same amount as eating at home. We think the chicken tacos are especially good. The gordo burritos are my other favorite, and depending on how hungry I am, one burrito can be two meals for me. The not as good: this place is a dive. The food is worth the bad decor and the dinginess, but if you don't want to deal with that, get take out or don't eat here. I'd love it if they improved their look and their cleanliness, but I am willing to overlook those flaws because it is cheap and yummy. Overall, Antonio's delivers delicious food for very little money, and I am so glad they're around. read more

This place is legit, I was born and raised in NorCal and this place offers the best burrito i've eaten, nothing in San Diego can touch the Famous GARBAGE BURRITO. Who says you have to be constrained to a burrito with one meat? this places is on the cutting edge of Burrito technology! 75 cent Tacos and Garbage nachos are the bomb too. I miss this place, Plz open one in San Diego. read more

It's not hard to see why there is often a good sized line at this hole in the wall. Yuba City is pretty screwed when it comes to local restaurants. But when it comes to cheap mexican food at a good price, this place just can't be beat. Sure the place looks like a glorified flea market cafeteria, but its the food that is most important. Try the crunchy taco with CHICKEN. This place could rival pollo loco with their seasoning mix. I had been going to this place for years, but my cousin told me to stop getting carne asade, and instead chicken. He wasn't BSing me. This chicken is great enough to buy from them straight up! Its around a buck for a decent sized piece (its not on the menu of course!) Other than that the garbage burrito is pretty good (definitely worth buying), and the nachos are good too, but not up to my Socal standards. Top your selection off with a nice horchata, but try not to drink from the bottom of the cup because it is pretty gritty. When it comes to semi-fast food in this shitty town, Antonio's is an oasis from the other bland conglomerates. It's only topped by one other fast food joint in YC. read more

Just completed my colonoscopy after fasting for nearly 43 hours. So I decided to stop by here for the ever-so-popular Garbage Burrito. Man oh man! . This is probably one of my top three burritos anywhere. Tons of flavor with a few different cuts of meat, rice, beans, cheese, cilantro, green onions, and salsas. The best part is the burrito is saucy and flavorful throughout. read more

wow so yummy. Go for the garbage nachos !!! You won't be sorry. Food is great, prices are cheap and service is quick. Can't really go wrong. Can't wait for the new location to open across the street. Hopefully the dining area will be bigger. read more

A hole in the wall restaurant but it's good stuff they sell here. Just don't come here expecting to get your meal fast and speedy like taco bell. I don't think I have ever gone there where the line isn't at least half way down the hall. The last few times I have come here the homeless people were no where to be found. Two tacos, a burrito, lunch plate special with two drinks came to $12.15 read more

This place isn't on the top of my list of places to eat out but it does exist on my list. The restaurant is kind of like a fast food place, you stand in line, place your order and pay, and then they call your number and you can take it to your seat. The food is good, the prices are reasonable, and it is usually busy most hours of the day. The only thing I didn't care about is there was a discrepancy with the menu over the register and the actual menus that tell you what is in each of their different dishes. They served my Vegan wife something that had meat in it and they failed to mention it consistently on their menus. Needless to say they looked at me like I was crazy when I brought it to their attention, however, they did remake the order the way we requested and refunded us our money. I believe it was the "garbage" burrito or something. It was a very not cool experience. Accidents do happen and they seemed to try and make it right but didn't really offer too much of an explanation or promise to get the menus corrected. read more

I absolutely loves this place. The only reason I give it 3 stars is because, like any good place to eat, they have things that taste wonderful, and then they have things that taste not-so-great. Their famous garbage burrito sucks, but their nachos are the best I have ever tried ANYWHERE. Anyone who says different is crazy. They're tacos are ok by themselves; that's why I order them with mexican cheese--it makes all the difference, and ends up making it my favorite taco of all time. Maybe so many people don't like the tacos here is because they are too used to eating AMERICAN-style chalupas at Taco Bell. Too many people complain over the littlest things. Also, why would a vegan come to eat here? Are they too dull and stuck-up to know that any vegan food is cooked on the same grills as the meat? read more

I've been here several times for lunch (both Yuba City locations.) I usually get the marinated chicken lunch special. Four mini-tacos, rice and beans.. It's really good. The chicken lunch plate is about a dollar more and you get a lot more, but you have to cut your own meat and roll your own tacos (if you get it with warm corn tortillas.) That's my recommendation. A little more work but well worth it. The place is Not at all fancy. It's not supposed to be. The name says it all "Quick Lunch." read more

Worst Customer Service!! DO NOT GO HERE!! Ordered One Chicken Torta, and to our surprise when we got home, it was beef not chicken, and went back to ask them why we were given beef, and they did not even apologize. Only thing they offered was to remake it with chicken, but we did not want another Torta, and just wanted to get our money back. And refused to give us money back. read more

I tried Antonio's recently after hearing so many of the local "YubaCitians" talk about this place so much. I personally felt it is overrated, there are plenty of other places in YC that give you a better value; especially for being a hole in the wall type of place. read more

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE ANTONIOS IN FRONT OF HOME DEPOT! I love Antonios!! 75 cent tacos!! And they are grubbin down! One Saturday I ate 9 tacos!! And I am 5'2" and 120 lbs. I just love this place! And they get you your food fast too!! And they are friendly!! read more

Use to go to this place all the time they had really good burritos, nachos and tacos. The last two times I went I got sick each time. Not sick to where I was throwing up or anything but had a terrible stomach ache. The food has gone way downhill, the meat is dried out and even burnt sometimes to where it is not even chewable. I guess once they start making money they stop caring about quality and service. The place is pretty dirty as well. Many better places for tacos/ burritos nearby. read more

This place is a pretty good alternative to other food places. The food is good but I cant say the same about the service.. When i came here i ordered nachos and a taco. First i finished the nachos but left the cheese and meat on the bowl as i did not have a spoon, so i go for a spoon and when i get back the guy working there had took my plate away.. Bad service, good food.. Its a trade off read more

The first thing we did when we got to town was drop our luggage off and get back in the car to drive to Antonio's. I had been craving their garbage nachos since hour 5 of the car ride from Southern California! There is just nothing I have found that compares down here. The tacos are super cheap and tasty as well. I wish I had more time to explore the menu, but I usually only get one stop here whenever I am in town. Definitely a must go to whenever I am in town. read more

If you want authentic Mexican food, this is a place to get it. This is where Mexicans/Hispanics go to eat Mexican food. I ordered a taco and a garbage burrito. Let me say, the price is cheap and the food is good. The burrito was as big as my leg! (j/k) The burrito was HUGE! As far as the facility, the seats are all bench seats that remind me of the seats at Dairy Queen back in the late 80's and early 90's. The place isn't huge, but it can seat about 20-40 people (depending on how many people seat in each bench seat). If you're feeling like a little Mexican food and Taco Bell just isn't going to cut it, give this place a shot. read more

We had the garbage burrito. It was easily the best burrito I have ever had. The cleanliness of this restaurant should be the standard for all restaurants. The service was also really exceptionally good. I will suggest Antonio's Quick Lunch to all my friends. read more

This place is horrible. Their cashiers are rude. The food seems like they just throw everything in n wrap it very sloppy and messy. My tacos had a long hair. Dont come here! Las Brasas Resturant is the route to go! read more

I have tried to like this place a few times and i can't seem to like it. It looks like it would be one of those great hole in the wall places but, personally I don't like the food, the place is always filthy. So because I did try it, many times, i will knock it and yes, I have and will continue to go to other "better" places for my mexican food. read more

Love the .75 tacos and the chicken flautas! My bf likes the garbage burrito, but I've never tried it.

I have had all my friends try this great place, I eat the garbage burrito, the best! Always great food, service, and very clean.

Chicken gave my mom, sister, roommate and myself food poisoning. I highly don't recommend this place, Unless you want to be throwing up all night. read more

Best tacos in town! This place is hands down authentic Mexican food. Antonio has done an amazing job with this place and I can't wait to come back for some more. Definitely one of the best places to eat in yuba. Tacos / burritos & the horchatas soooo good. read more

It's cheap, it's good, and it's always busy. Yes it's a dive. Yes there is usually a homeless person outside the door. I wouldn't have it any other way. The 75 cent tacos are awesome and the crispy tacos with mexican cheese are greasy and delicious. You have to be a little brave but true food lovers will enjoy this place a ton. read more

Their crunchy tacos are good but that's about it. Don't bother with their tamales unless of course dried-out, microwaved tamales are your thing. read more

Since I've been feeling a little frazzled this week, I wanted to indugle. I picked up dinner here and had the lunch special. I had two flautas which came with rice and refried beans. I also tried the horchata and a taco. Now, this isn't the healthiest food, so if you are a health freak like me, this is the place to go on one of your "down days" unless you eat a taco salad. The shell for the flautas and the taco is heavily fried, so it's extra crispy. I haven't really had food like this before, so it was different for me, but it was pretty good for the price. It isn't a fancy restaurant, but reminds me of a tiny shop that serves quick meals, so you can easily pick up and go. I might try something else in the future to see what else they have ... I did enjoy the taco a lot. read more

Only had it once, but def going back. Had Chile Verde. It was so delicious. Will give it a 5 after trying & liking other things.

Best Mexican fast food in town. Garbage nachos and burritos are especially delicious.
