    Asada burrito
    Dev M.

    The food was very good, the taste was full of flavor and you can tell was authentic and made fresh. We highly recommend!

    Interiors are super clean with well spaced furniture.

    I wish I had more time to explore the great spots along HWY 5, but I'm usually in the midst of a 5-6 hour drive each way so known options which are quick and easy and provide consistent quality win the day. And fast food is not an option. For 30 years our normal stopping point often becomes Williams. Several strong local options. BUT his time, on our southbound return from the River, the timing for Willows worked our lunch stop. With the help of Yelp we found Elenita's. Although a few blocks off the freeway we have it a try. BAM! It's so rewarding to get the "wholly schnickies" experience when you take a chance! Well, to be perfectly honest it wasn't much of a risk. Elenita's had a 4.5 star avg. with about 100 reviews. Tough to take that! My son had the carne-asada super burrito. Lite rice. For me, although it was lunchtime, I hadn't had breakfast yet so I went for a breakfast burrito lite rice and lite beans. I chose chorizo as my protein. Chorizo can be tricky if the rest isn't focused. I asked for "crispy" chorizo and they #nailedit! @elenitas food was authentic and fresh. The restaurant was clean. Super clean. And the tables were well spaced. Last, the owner was working the counter. Her smile was genuine when she talked about Willows being a small town and how they all shit down to watch youth sports on Saturdays. Take the time to visit. Call ahead and she'll have it waiting for you! 5-star!

    Voted best in Glenn County!

    My all around favorite Mexican food. I love the food. Especially the carnitas and beans. The service is exemplary. Their customers matter to them. Prices are fair, food is delicious!

    Chicken salad to go. Chicken was cooked perfectly- good flavor and crispy. No burn at all.

The real highlight was how friendly and talkative the cooks were. Our server was a stand-up guy named Antonio. He was very welcoming and takes pride in his work. These guys have been serving tacos for about 3 years now and I am definitely coming back.

    I only had one taco here, and I realize that that's a small amount to base a Yelp review off of,…read morebut, it was a five star taco. I had a carne asada taco. It was $2.15 ($2 plus tax), and was exactly what you'd expect from a good street taco. I would have ordered more, but didn't see the small price list on the window until after I had ordered. (Their main sign didn't have any prices on it, which I always see as a red flag for getting overcharged.) The carne asada was perfect, and was served over two tiny corn tortillas (which were also quickly charred on the grill) topped with onion, cilantro, and a slice of lemon. They didn't give me any salsa, but I also didn't ask for any, and honestly, the meat with fresh lemon juice stood on its own. I would absolutely come back here again, and if it continues to be this good, it could become a regular experience. The only drawback was some teenagers sitting in front of the taco truck were having a *very* loud and sexually explicit conversation, to the degree that they should have been asked to leave, but were not. One of the teens yelled at the top of his lungs from about a foot behind me, "I LOVE BIG BLACK ROCKS!" Except, dear Yelp reader, I regret to inform you that the word he actually used only rhymed with the word "rock." You can guess what it is, and you're guessing correctly. I understand wanting to give teens a safe place to hang out, but not if they're going to make it unsafe/super uncomfortable for others. But that's just my opinion. Taco was fire though.
