There is a salsa bar-but I didn't like any of the salsas. I thought they were all just 'hot' and no flavor. And there is a threatening sign on the salsa bar to use the correct container or they will charge you?! Since I didn't really like it I can't really recommend it.

If you're in the area, please check this place out. You will be delighted by its culinary offering!…read more I've tried the food here before [family members brought me some], but over the weekend was the first time I had ever gone to the business myself. The restaurant is rather large, I thought it was larger than your typical taqueria. Tables and floors were clean. Easy to navigate one's way through to the counter and then to whatever table you choose. Luckily, I had arrived before the place got too busy, so I had no wait in line and no fight at the salsa bar where I got my chips and salsa. They have spicy, mild, a type of crema, etc. And they all are tasty! Who doesn't love a salsa bar? I had ordered the Birria Taco Meal, which includes 2 tacos [I could've eaten 4-5 easily], rice and beans and guacamole, pickled onion and lime. The food was hot, fresh from the kitchen, and I wolfed it down not long after it had landed on my table from the server. Rice and beans were nicely seasoned, the guacamole was smoother than what I'm used, but nothing bad about it concerning the taste. I love pickled onions, the vinegary taste works for me! The tacos were crunchy, and the meat inside was tender and juicy. That was the best part about my experience: the food! And the worst? The fact that they have a loaded menu and that I couldn't order more items because I was full. The food here is just phenomenal! I left feeling satisfied and with a strong desire to return again. If only I lived closer to Gridley!

They have been a local staple for a long time according to one of the locals. The milkshake was delicious and kind of thick. I started slurping on it right away to cool down! This is a place that you go up to the window and order. They have some outside seating in the front ( uncovered) and in the back they have some old picnic tables that are covered. I would suggest they upgrade their picnic benches and refresh their old sign on the road. Other than that We left satisfied! This place is suppose to be very busy during the hot months! Btw..they are currently paving that stretch of road so drive carefully!

Although they had some great specials including spicy tacos I chose the burger with bleu cheese and bacon. I chose the side to be posole soup. The burger was huge and omg...so juicy( and messy..lol). The soup was a surprising hit..flavorful yet mild. They were very busy ( alot of takeout as well). Fast service. Friendly people. I had alot of leftovers! Nice casual spot to relax and have a cocktail!

Another Pro Tip -- go here! I checked Yelp, and it's well-reviewed, so we stopped. Local place. comfortable seating. We sat at the bar/counter because that's where the action is. The service is great. For a small place, it has a good beer selection. We ordered the Broken Arrow IPA -- came in frosty glasses. My husband gave it a 5 on Untappd -- first 5 in ages. The food looks and smells great. But for the fact that we had just finished our car picnic, we would have been ordered. Next time. Our little road trip was fun, even if we couldn't see the wildlife, and well worth it because we found this little gem.

This was my family's go-to mexican restaurant growing up (still is, as a matter of fact). I ate…read morethere for the first time in over a decade today (I moved away and am home visiting) and they are still churning out the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. I don't know what their secret ingredient is (I suspect maybe celery salt), but they get a salty smoky spiced flavor in their salsa that I have never even come close to anywhere else, and the char they get on their meats is just fantastically savory. Brought my husband in and he agrees- best Mexican food he's had in his life. And on top of the good food, the service is friendly and the cost is very reasonable for the quality and portion size. And don't forget to stop by their adjoining market! They have a deli that sells everything from burritos to chicharones, and fresh conchas and other baked delights, all cooked in-house. All the spices and unusual supplies you might need to channel your inner abuela, every snack or treat you may need to bribe your favorite nina/nino, and a meat selection that will make your mouth water to boot! I always pick up at least 3 big containers of the salsa to take home- I may have to freeze some because they don't have a ton of preservatives, and they may not be quite as fresh when they thaw, but still the best salsa en el mundo. (For those of you who are Gabriel Iglesias fans, this is the perfect place to fill a certain type of gift basket for a certain demographic, if you know what I mean- *wink, wink*). My recommendation is simple: EAT HERE!!!!

Where to start. The meat market excellent. We get a lot of our meat here. Good reasonable pricing…read more The guys are helpful. The older one always friendly. As far as the hot food. If I was a manager it's ok to hire the younger youth but expect quality over throwing it all together and doing the bare minimum. You have to manage and over the see the effort. The last few times over several months it's getting worse unfortunately. Asking for any toppings is such a hassle. They give u one jalapeño and if we ask for more the customer service is really bad. Bad attitude and when it's sliced it looks unclean and so messy. The meat this time didn't taste fresh. If a manager reads this. Something needs to change. I also picked up some bread and it was extremely hard and dry. Idk what's happening. Going down hill. Expect better from your employees and it definitely needs more care.
