Visited April 9 2026…read more This place is located in Yuba City. Plenty of parking plus inside and outdoor seating. Pet friendly in outdoor seating area! I originally came here for the molcahete ( my favorite ). After talking to the nice waiter (Pepe) I realized it would be hard to transport such a large dish into my ice chest since it comes out boiling hot. I decided on the 2 enchilada plate ( carne asada) that came with rice and beans with a generous amount of guac and sour cream! Huge plate! Everything was very tasty! I love the complimentary salsa bar with warm chips! Several spicy options! Love the variety they have ( see picture). I had to try everything! Plenty of leftovers! It was a Great experience with nice employees ( thanks Pepe!). Very clean inside! They have a nice selection of beer as well. I will definitely be back with my boyfriend so we can sit down and enjoy their molcahete with chicken and beef and shrimp!

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!

We decided to order the 3 soft taco combo that comes with rice and beans. A great deal for $11.99. The restaurant is spacious and ideal for dine in or take out. I've tried many things on the menu and everything is really good. The chile relleno is a favorite, and burritos are good too. You will find that they continue to have fair prices without cutting the quality of their food.

Sweet sweet find - thanks to Yelpers, of course. We were out on a day trip from Sacramento and…read morelanded in town at supper time. Boom. Opened Yelp app on the phone and scrolled through. It so happened we were directly across the street from this place, and without the Yelpers, we NEVER would have noticed it. Small street frontage, sharing a small parking lot with a few other businesses. So, we pull in anyway. We open the door hoping for the best, but confident that Yelpers don't lie. WOW! The tantalizing aroma hit first, then the clean and orderly vibe, then the comfy chairs. Seated immediately, then waters and chips and salsa. So many options on the menu but we finally settled on Chicken Fajitas for me and Chicken Tamale for the hubs. Lawsy, Miss Scarlett, we done hit the motherlode of deliciousness and fresh tasty Mexican food. We each stopped about halfway through our meals to enjoy leftovers the next day -- and save room for dessert. I had their flan - twice the size of a piece of cheesecake. Hubs had Ice Cream Nachos - scoops of ice cream on cinnamon/sugar corn chips with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. We both agree that the 40-minute drive north from Sacramento is worth it to explore more of what this 12-years-running, woman-owned, amazing restaurant has to offer. Reasonable prices, yummy grub, stellar service. Oh, and ya gotta love a well-appointed restroom with design touches and a painting of Frida Khalo (see pic).

Visited June 13 2026. See my receipt as always…read more Many friends told me to try this place in Yuba City and I am glad I did! It's away from most businesses in an upscale residential street. They open at 11am and there was people already waiting to get in. Always a good sign! I ordered the two item lunch and chose beef and chicken enchiladas. It came with rice and beans. All very good! Complimentary chips and salsa. The salsas were screaming! Fresh and the green salsa made my eyes water! Love it! This place has indoor and covered outside seating. Dog friendly! They also have another space in the back for events and more with another full bar ( 2 full bars total). They have bar seating and regular seating. Good for groups! Plenty of parking. What was unusual is they have an expansive bathroom..did not expect that. The waiter said they have live music as well! Overall a great experience with leftovers! Ps. Plenty of parking!
