There was so much liquid of some sort in the burritos that they were soggy when we received them! The super burrito was no different than the regular burrito except it cost $3 more! All that we could detect on the burritos was the protein (barely any carnitas), soggy beans, soggy lettuce and rice. I just don't get it... Loud music making it hard to talk and sloowwww service cinched the deal... just a surprisingly bad experience.

This is a special place for my fiance and her mom, they've been coming here since the 80's. When they first brought me here I loved it. Really personable staff, owner is nice and accommodating. The food here is simple. You're not going to be blown away. But it's proud Mexican food you're more than happy to pay for. Tucked away in the older part of Yuba City El Central has a small but deep menu. They don't try to do too much. It serves them well as they've been in business for over 40 years. Their complimentary soup is great for the soul. Deep flavor in the broth. Noodles and cabbage go perfect in it. They also serve tostadas and salsa while you browse the menu. The chile here is bomb! Spicy and flavorful! Went with the menudo as someone in their reviews said it was the best in town. Although it was really good here I'd like to try more menudos in town to declare it the best in town. Loved my visit here and I'll definitely be back with the family again to support this family ran restaurant.

The outside patio is full of beautiful foliage and shade. Very pretty! Dog friendly! Let's talk about the food! I ordered steak fajitas that came with rice and beans and tortillas. The fajitas was plentiful with grilled onions and mushrooms. Very well seasoned and having grilled mushrooms in fajitas was an unexpected pleasure! One of the best fajitas I have had AND wallet friendly! They have complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa was good but of course I had to also get the hottest salsa available! They have a full bar with beer and wine as well as Margaritas. They have a nice handicap ramp leading up to the front door (fyi). It was such a nice experience and I am coming back VERY soon with my pup to enjoy the outside patio! Ps. Thank you David for your kindness and hospitality! It was a pleasure and so relaxing!

The frozen margaritas are delicious however the food was kinda bland. The presentation of the food wasn't impressionable and not was the taste of the food.

It is a little on the pricey side, but the portion, freshness, and flavor made it worth it. I normally always go for the traditional green aguachile, but surprisingly the red sauce ended up being my favorite! It definitely has some serious heat, so be prepared if you're sensitive to spice. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and everything tasted super fresh. The owner was also our server and was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. Great food and great service -- this place has become a go- to for me !

It is very clean inside with plenty of seating. I ordered the 2 item combo which was carne asada enchilada and a chicken tamale. It came with rice and beans. I had them split the tamale with half red and half green sauce. Very delicious! Chicken was moist and tender. The enchilada was good too with alot of flavor! I liked that they had complimentary chips and different salsas. I like it spicy! They also have beer and sodas available. I am obsessed with molcahete dishes ( served in an urn type bowl) but they are hard to travel with because they are very hot! Love their menu! The owner...ROSA.. was very warm and friendly! In fact all the employees were very kind! Btw...They roast their jalepenos and only use the freshest tomatoes! It was a Great experience and I will DEFINITELY be back! Ps..they were voted number 1 in 2025..see my picture!

I met the owner JUAN and he said they have been in business for 58 years! I certainly can see why! I ordered the 2 beef enchiladas with rice and beans. It also came with soup and warm fresh tortillas. Complimentary chips and salsa. Both the ground beef and shredded beef enchiladas were tasty! I tried a few bites of everything and it was delicious! The chicken soup was flavorful with corn. The red salsa was mild but the green salsa was awesome because it was spicy and tasty! YUM! They have a full bar and special margaritas. I had a nice chilled chardonnay with lunch. They also have a lady near the front making fresh tortillas. It was a really great experience with quick service and friendly employees ! Thank you Juan and Megan for superior service. I will be back! Btw...I was able to watch Argentina play while I was eating. BONUS!

Menu offerings like fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, shrimp plates, burritos and much more. The place was beautifully renovated and redesigned from a former market years ago to a sheik dine in Mexican restaurant. Large patio that I was told was a big draw for the World Cup games. Our servers here had their hands full with over two dozen people all vying for their attention. Yet they never cracked. I personally loved the chicken flautas, quesabirria tacos and their Oswald taco. Their corn tortillas are hand made. Perfect crisp to each bite. My lady got the chicken enchiladas and we loved them tops full of shredded chicken. 3 big enchiladas too for the entree. Their rice and beans are really good. Fluffy rice with that perfect tint of orange/yellow. Reminded me of the rice and beans at Tres Hermana's downtown on K street. Complimentary chips and salsa as well.
