Black beans with cheese sprinkled over Food was quite tasty, colorful and filling. Even came with chips and salsa pre meal (tho asked for spicier sauce), then mini bunuelos for dessert. Allergic to cinnamon but did taste, again quite good and not too sweet. The cream on top was light and fresh. YuM'm! My quesadilla was so good! Quite the meal all by itself (spinach, onions, cheese, mushrooms, and tomato) with sides of sour cream and guacamole. Restaurant was clean, quiet, and service good with no long wait (lunchtime). Giving 4 stars simply because the service didn't match the faces. All seemed somber and/or with a preoccupied mind. Going thru the motion with no real ooomph. I can only hope the chefs/cooks were happier. I'll be back!

He's my hermano, so I had to let him know that we had just had two Hermano's burritos. Something like a super version of a special burrito with rice, beans, jack, guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo to go with your selected meat. We went with carnitas and it was amazing. So delicious. It's rare that I'll give 5 starts on a first visit, but the Hermanos left me with no choice. What else can I tell you. Great Mexican food on Market Street in Redding. Not too far from I-5 and worth the drive. Open everyday except Monday. It's an unassuming restaurant where you can assume the food will live up to the hype. Counter seating inside. Dog-friendly seating patio outside. The young cashier was really nice and when I told him I thought the mild red sauce was excellent he shared that it was his favorite. I also met one of the owners and there's something special about the people who run a small restaurant with incredible pride because they put so much love into the food. And the customers walk away with that love win their belly. OK, we drove away. But you get it. I don't know when I'll be back, but I hope to try the birria next time.

The place was very clean and the menu board easy to read with a good layout. I placed my order just in time to beat the lunch rush. Help yourself chip and salsa bar was appreciated and having 6 choices of agua fresca was a pleasant surprise! The birria was very tasty and the right amount of meat inside. The consumé was perfect and not too salty. My only complaint is the tortilla could have held a little more red sauce and been grilled a little longer. I will return to try other menu items here.

Really good food but basically just warmed up at the restaurant and prepared elsewhere. I wonder who the actual food preparation is done by?? There are a few things removed from the menu Perhaps not easily just warmed up and hard to maintain quality This place was called Chuys about 2 1/2 years ago. The rumors are that there were some legal issues and he left and the new owners took over not long after that. Not much improvement aesthetically and hasn't changed in two years or more. Restaurants us clean and presentable. There are many places you can go in Redding and get the same quality or better and pay a lot less.

I've heard a-lot of good things about this place…read moreand being a bit of a snob when it comes to Mexican food, the places I've visited in Redding have been mediocre at best with Casa Ramos being the "best" in Redding until now. First off, the rice, white queso dip, cream sauce, salsa and bean dip they have, rival a favorite place of mine in LA called Salsa and Beer I ordered basic cheese enchiladas (one with red sauce, one with green sauce). They were FANTASTIC. If you think something as simple as a cheese enchilada can't be gourmet and elevated, I suggest trying anything from Rick Bayless (Chicago or LA) and El Cholo (LA) with their aged cheddar. All that to say, Casa Rios didn't disappoint. My friend got the chili relleno with cream sauce, one word, FANTASTIC. I like that it had a bit of char to it and that it wasn't super eggy. It had a nice crisp to it. For desert (it being my bday week and all lol) was their coconut tres leches cake with strawberries. Another smash out of the park. I will definitely be back. Eager to try their fajitas, birria tacos and flan. Great job. If I'm in town on Tuesday (8/11) I'll have my bday dinner here.

We shared the queso with chorizo which looks small but could be a meal in itself - definitely enough for two to share. We also shared the queso birria tacos. This was very good, but definitely needed more cheese to balance out the generous portion of meat. The flavors were excellent. Our server, didn't catch her name, has been there forever and was excellent. Definitely recommend calling and getting your name on the waiting list so you can get a table when you arrive, otherwise the wait can be lengthy although worth it!

Pretty dining room.

MASSIVE - A La Crema Skillet Burrito from the new menu. It's got some spice to it. The sauce is addictive.

You won't find a better place to eat. The food is great and the staff are absolutely amazing! This is our family's favorite place to eat. We eat here for a dinner out at least every other week, we have celebrated birthday's and enjoyed hosting our staff Holiday party here. I just can't say enough about the staff, they always make us feel welcome. The manager is the owners daughter and she is one of the best restaurant managers I have ever seen. She always goes above and beyond, making sure we have everything we need. I will be using Mazatlan to cater my daughters going away party when she leaves for college next month. You can't go wrong when you choose Mazatlan Grill! read more

She insisted that it was delicious! Then, on another day, she brought in some Mexican food...same scenario. Finally, I decided to give them one more try. I ordered the same Chinese food that my boss had brought in and I couldn't believe the taste! It was amazing!!!
