Off route 89/299 small family owned Mexican restaurant. We came at the last minute of closing and they happily attended us and even let us eat at their patio. I got the tacitos plate (3). I got 1 beef, 2 chicken- I personally liked the beef better however my bf liked the chicken better regardless they were good! The beans have no lard (or at least I couldn't taste it) so that's a plus in my opinion. The rice was great too. Overall this dish met my expectations. My bf got the carne asada fries. The portion was decent and the meat was seasoned well. The nacho cheese was pretty good too. I like a wet carne asada fries but my bf likes more of a dry carne asada dish (no sour cream, guac, nacho cheese lol) but they were good!! Overall food was well portioned, decently priced, and service was excellent. Definitely come if you're in the area or stopping by Lassen volcanic National park! read more

Pleasant! Good service excellent food reasonably priced. Small and mom a popish! Very quaint . Highly recommend!

I truly don't leave reviews - it's not really my style but I feel it's absolutely necessary in this case. Ambiance: 5 stars. Gorgeous patio with dabbled light, comfortable chairs, eclectic decor and a stellar view. Food: 5 stars. No notes, it was incredible. The chorizo con huevos was super f*cking tasty and their homemade tomatillo salsa is PERFECT. Service: 5 stars. Felt like regulars the service was so friendly. I am celiac and the owner came out and personally checked in, expressed her concerns and did her best to accommodate me while also never making me feel like a burden. It's hard to find people who care enough to check in and who go out of their way to try and make it work with dietary restrictions! Was truly a gem of a find driving through on our road trip! Thank you! read more

A very nice ma and pa restaurant well worth dining there. Fast and friendly service the food is very good and priced for the average person.

The 5-star rating is 100% well-deserved. This place is a mountain oasis. The energy inside is excellent; chips and salsa hit the table first thing; the crew is super friendly. The food was amazing. Birria to die for and sizzly-hot chicken fajitas. And all at a reasonable price. Highly recommend. read more

The food was delicious the service was great! They welcomed our furry baby Ted to eat on the patio with us and it meant the world to us cause he's our little family. They even brought water for him and asked if they can get him anything to eat. Seriously nice people there. read more

La Cocina Michoacana - Chile Relleno Lunch Special - Mexican Near Me - Fall River Mills, California

This place was amazing! Great food, huge portions and super friendly! Would definitely come back when in the area.

I'm leaving this review here on La Cocina Michoacána because most of the reviews are under Ortega's. They may have changed names, but the food is still the same. The staff, food, and atmosphere were all fantastic. A lovely family owns la Cocina Michoacána. They are the ones who greet you, serve you, and cook for you. Every one of the family members was extremely polite, smiling, and helpful. We sat down and had dinner on a Tuesday evening around 6-7:30 pm. The Restaurant was PACKED when we came through, and we were barely able to grab a table. I counted 28 people on the back patio alone, 3 were large parties, and several booths inside were filled up. There were several regulars, as they knew names, faces and you could tell by the table chats. This was a good sign. We sat on the amazing back patio. It had beautiful views of the land. I had my daughter grab her binoculars, and we were able to watch two cowboys and their cattle dogs round up a large herd of cattle. We watched them for almost an hour--what a wonderful experience. Now to the food, if you follow my family and me on Yelp, then you know we like to order more than we need, more than we can eat but enough, so we try a little of everything. That's good for us and good for people looking at the reviews. To start, they bring out complimentary chips and salsa that are both fresh and tasty. We were born and raised in Central CA, go to LA often. We know authentic Mexican food, and the farther north you go, the harder it is to find it. We ordered fajitas that were sizzling hot and filled with flavor. The tortillas were warm and soft. I ate my entire plate, which is rare for me. It was that good! My daughter and I also wanted to try the Enchilada de Espinaca (Spinach enchiladas). They were flavorful and had a great combination of spinach, tomatoes, and a little onion, covered in green chili sauce. It was excellent. My daughter loved the taste of it. I would order them again. These would also lead me to call their Enchiladas Suizas because they are served with the same green sauce, but instead of spinach, you get chicken. That sounds yummy! My husband ordered 2 Tacos Al Pastor, and they came out looking so colorful. Just like they should! He said they tasted delicious and ate them both. He also ordered a taco salad. It looks a little flat, but I think it's because they don't fill it up with lettuce. You get a nice amount of all the ingredients. The taco shell was made fresh and was crunchy. He said it was good, but he enjoyed the tacos and tamales better. He also enjoyed the Spinach enchiladas. Everything came out hot and tasty. My daughter ordered a pork tamale and cheese enchilada. My husband added a chicken tamale to it. The masa on the tamale was terrific!! It had a wonderful flavor and had us coming back for more. The pork chicken tamales were both flavorful and soft. The cheese enchilada was good, but I didn't care for one of the spices in it. I've never liked Mexican food with cinnamon, Allspice, cardamom, or mace; not sure which one was in it, but it reminded me of cinnamon. Now, If you do, then you'll love the flavor of the sauce. The beans were good, but we all felt the rice was lacking something: flavor and texture-wise. The enchiladas and rice is my only dislike of our entire meal! There is something for everything, even hamburgers, chicken, and salads. read more

Great Mexican restaurants are hard to find and Great Mexican restaurants in small towns in Northern California are particularly difficult to find, but we found it and absolutely loved it! The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is great. We have been to Mexican restaurants all over the country and this is some of the best we have experienced. If you live in Redding, make the trip! If you life in Chico make the trip! In fact if live anywhere in Northern California, make the trip! We promise you won't be disappointed! read more
