I spoke with the owner when he promptly returned my call regarding the no - show at our event. He…read morewas very apologetic as would be expected. Apparently he was out of town and left someone else in charge. Apparently that person was unable to arrange the schedule so as to service our event. None of this changes the fact that Rico's did not honor their commitment. Now I am unsure how to rate Rico's. I definitely can't recommend them for "catering". However their food is quite good. Their trucks are better than many of the restaurants in town. So, I will let my remarks speak for themselves and leave it at that. Oh, one last thing: I should note that they were awarded for their food quality and featured in the local paper a while ago. Only fair to include that.

El Taco Asado has finally broken the curse. Finally a great and consistent taqueria in this town. I…read morehave been going here once or twice a week since they opened and there is not a single item on their menu that I've had that wasn't great. There's been an off-night or two but they're still batting like .959. My younger daughter used to dislike Mexican food in this town so much she'd order chicken nuggets or a burger and fries when we got Mexican. Now she enthusiastically requests a Carne Asada super burrito from El Taco Asado. My other daughter gets a bean rice and cheese burrito which even for a simple item, are made with perfect tecchnique and are delicious. While all the meats are the best in town, the Al Pastor is on another level and the best I've had anywhere. I used to stay away from Al Pastor because few places do them the real way on a trompo. Taco Asado does and they're melt in your mouth delicious. If their meat weren't already putting them on a level above the rest in town, the salsas would. They can vary in heat level and flavor with each visit but they're always awesome. I tget one of each and whatever is hitting the best that night is what I'm drenching my tacos with. And if you like pico de gallo, they do that great too. My go-tos are the super burrito and street tacos. The grilled tacos, especially the shrimp, are nice to mix it up a little sometimes but it's hard to pry me away from those perfect Al Pastor street tacos. Here's the kicker: Their burritos and tacos are some of the best priced in town. Let's keep them busy and keep it that way.

I had some very delicious tacos here, and a breakfast burrito. I'd definitely come back. And from…read morewhat I heard, this place is recognized as the best Mexican spot around Redding. I came here for dinner and also to get a breakfast burrito for an early morning the next day. The tacos were great, good size and full of meat, perhaps a smidge pricey at ~$5 after tax and tip each, but still delicious. The lengua (tongue) was tender and meaty, cooked the way it should be. The tripas though were the stand out - crispy, smoky, rich... I might get just these next time. If you haven't tried this before, don't be squeamish - they don't taste like offal, they don't have a weird texture, they are just delicious. The tortillas were also great, thin and chewy and just strong enough to hold onto the ingredients while you ate. It should also be noted that they have free and unlimited chips and salsa. And the salsas are quite tasty, the salsa verde being my favorite. The super breakfast burrito was eaten cold at around 5 am the next morning, so obviously it wouldn't be fair to judge it like I had it fresh. But it was well constructed, very well sized, and had plenty of egg and bacon in it. It was good even if not eaten at the optimal time and temperature. The restaurant is located next to a sushi bar (which I am too scared to try given Redding's inland location) and has a big parking lot. They take credit cards and bring the food to your table. Whether you're a local or just visiting this place is definitely worth a visit.

Tio Nate's Taqueria in beautiful Redding, California, serves the best quesabirria tacos I've ever…read morehad in my life. The flavors are out of this world, and the spicy salsa is absolutely incredible. I can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. Out of all the places in Redding that serve Mexican food, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. Tio Nate himself is a class act and a genuinely great guy, which makes supporting this local business even better. I'll definitely keep coming back. If you haven't tried it yet, you need to. On Wednesdays, they're usually on Bechelli near Hartnell, and you can check out their Instagram and Facebook pages to see where they'll be each day of the week. They're also on DoorDash, and while I was there, I saw tons of orders being picked up, a good sign that people know how good this place really is. Do yourself a favor and try Tio Nate's Taqueria. It's easily one of the best food spots in Redding!

Although I had already brought lunch from home, I decided to give it a shot--and I'm so glad I did! I ordered two carne asada street tacos, which cost around $8-9. Menu was easy to read. The smell of the food cooking in the air was amazing. The tacos were packed with flavor and were absolutely delicious. The girl who took my order was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering suggestions like different sauce spice options and asking if I preferred it spicy on the side so I can adjust the level of spice. She made sure my order was perfect. They gave me a vibrating/beeping mechanism to alert me when my food was ready, and it only took about 5 minutes. The tacos were well worth the short wait. I would definitely visit again--highly recommend!
