My salad had brown lettuce in it, the iced tea was terrible, the salsa had no flavor and our waitress was not very attentive. Used to LOVE this restaurant. A Redding icon. Not impressed with it today! Bummer! read more

Very slopy food. No flavor and the prices aren't worth the trouble. The staff seems to be pretty friendly and the drinks are sweeeeeet. But don't eat the food, unless you like your Mexican food bland. read more

Tortilla Flats - Mexican Near Me - Redding, California

I had a much-needed day with my mother. We chose tortilla Flats because my mother loves that place and has been going there for over 30 years. Our server was Lori she was fantastic. Everyone there was so attentive. We didn't wait for drinks, chips and salsa, our food was out super fast. Thank you again Lori for your great service. read more

They have roaches!! in the water floating inside my water cup it was so disgusting and when we told the waitress she was so rude didn't even care and still charged us full price for everything. Roaches travel in packs when there's one there's a dozen more this place needs a health inspection ASAP and a new staff while there at it!!! Not what I wanted to see at my Christmas dinner. read more

Amazing service, very impressed with everything that was served! Drinks were great, and hands down the best salsa I've ever had!

Best service ever! Awesome drinks and the food was uh-mazing!! I've been in Redding for 16 years and just now tried it. I am nothing short of satisfied! I would HIGHLY recommend tortilla flats to anyone that is looking for good Mexican food to enjoy or anyone passing through! Definitely a diamond in the rough! I will be back hungry for more! read more

7/21/19 I went to Tortilla Flats today and saw a rat on the floor next to where I was seated. I told the waitress and she looked for no more than 30 seconds and told me that they've been doing "spring cleaning" with their back doors open and that just recently a squirrel went in the back. I still ordered my meal (cheese quesadilla) and she brought me a quesadilla with green chilies and she said that it wasn't just the cheese I asked for. I had to hesitate to take the plate so that she can redo my order and she almost didn't take it back. So that also pissed me off because she wanted me to say "oh that's fine" and just take the plate I didn't order. My mom also saw a rat a while back when she went there, so it seems like they've been having this problem. read more

Worst experience ever ! The food was great, but service was terrible ! Our waitress was very helpful. However, the Manager Austin was a complete idiot !!! He had no knowledge of how the certificates from restaurant.com works!!! There was no manager on duty, so they had to call him over the phone and he was still of no help ! The tall waitress with blue eyes was terrible !!! Walked away saying whatever at some point ! Completely rude ! The only person who was great was the waitress with blonde and black hair !! Food is decent !!! But I do not recommend it ! read more

Their food gets 4 stars and their vibe gets 2. Could definitely use some updated interior design and I think the waitress's outfits could use some updating as well. It honestly just feels stuck in the early 90s. Seems like the kind of place that only regulars are going to really appreciate. The food however was actually really delicious! I got a chile con carne burrito and my fiancé got a chimichanga - both were great! Their chips weren't my favorite but I've had much worse. The salsa was pretty good though. If the vibe was more welcoming it could be one of my favorite Mexican food places in redding. The prices for the food would be more reasonable if it were redesigned as well. In the end if you're looking for some well-made Mexican food and not get hung up on the vibe this would be a satisfying place for lunch or dinner. read more

Tortilla flats is a great place to eat, everyone was friendly and the place was clean.. I had a seafood enchilada plate and it was super good!! And they have the best dr. Pepper in town!! read more

Tortilla Flats - Mexican Near Me - Redding, California

Went in today for lunch after visiting the DMV. I ordered the Nacho Special, which is a nacho with meat, cheese, beans, sourcream and guac. My husband ordered the chicken tacos. My Nachos were not very good, they added some kind of sweet sauce in it...Maybe to cover up the fact they don't flavor their meat. My husbands tacos were bland. The chips were stale and the salsa came out of a can of diced tomatoes. It's pretty disappointing and I think I'd rather be hungry then eat at this establishment. The waitresses were very nice, but I feel bad that they have to wear those short dresses, as they were older ladies and honestly...who really wants to see that much leg while eating, they were very short dresses on these older women, it cannot be comfortable for them and trust me nobody else either. In all we wont be returning. read more

This is our favorite Mexican sit down Restaurant in Redding, hands down. The food is great, the wet bean and cheese burrito, the chimichangas, the nachos... The service is always friendly and the food arrives quickly. read more

worst. mexican food. ever Also, we saw the manager be super condisending to our waitress and that's not ok. We tipped her big because she was nice and good at her job, but we won't be going back after witnessing that. read more

Visiting from and found that Tortilla Flats had very good food and great service. Amanda was always ensureing that we had everything we needed. New management has really stepped it up. I will be back read more

Had a birthday lunch at this restaurant today. The food and the service was the best I've had in Redding!!!

Wow! They are back. Now that the original owner and family are back running the place it has improved dramatically. Food quality so much better. In talking to the owner Katy, she tells us that all the sauces are made from scratch daily as well as soups, salsa and guacamole. All produce and meat are from the locals. Total remodel. New expanded bar, new booths and new paint . Great happy hour deals on food and drinks. Like the old days when you were lucky to get in without the wait, yet, usually no waiting. Back to basics seems to be working. read more

We ate here 8/16/17 about 3:00 pm. The waitress was very nice and greeted us promptly. I really liked the sauce for my chicken enchiladas. My son had the steak dinner and they cooked it perfectly. I wish they had more taco options. Overall, we went home happy. read more

Worse experience and food. We walked in got seated. We waited 15 minutes for our waters which we only got because we had to ask the manager. I ordered the "meatball" soup. It arrived steaming hot. When I was able to eat it, I was disappointed. It tasted like onion and celery. There was rice in the soup so over cooked it was mushy gross. The meatballs didn't have any flavor and the meat texture was off. I assume again it had been on to High a temp for too long. When our plates finally arrived (the manager brought them out and informed our server they had been up) the plate couldn't be touch they were so hot. They had been under the warmer so long the rice and beans had got dried out on top. People talk so highly of Tortilla Flats. For me and my guests it just feel flat. One of my worse dining out experiences. read more

Tortilla Flats is a Redding landmark. We have been visiting for many years and always love the fast service, piping hot food and delicious margaritas. We love supporting this family owned, small business. On our last visit it was wonderful to see all of the redecorating and how much they have freshened the place up. read more

Worst service I have ever seen. No one was filling up water glasses, we were forgotten about after the first ten minutes and it was hard to just get the waitress' attention. 1/10. I would never eat again. read more

I have tried Tortilla Flats due to its location close to my place of employment twice now. The first time a friend said, and I quote "Let's go get some greasy tacos". And we did. On that occasion business was slow, and the waitress was friendly and attentive. And as far as greasy tacos go, they were, greasy. Not having a lot of time today, and having lunch with my son, we decided to give them another try. It was moderately busy, and we were seated curtly by one of the owners (sorry to put you out, it won't happen again). The busboy brought chips and canned-tomato salsa promptly, but dropped them and ran. He likely did this because he was tired of taking the abuse the waitress deserved. No drinks for 5 minutes. I was thinking about leaving. The waitress almost attacked our table, took our drink and food order, and disappeared. After another short eternity, as we were asking the busboy about our drinks (2 sodas, nothing mixed, nothing blended), she came charging across with the drinks. Moments later our food arrived. Greasy, bland, and left in the salamander too long, so even the top of the rice and beans were dry and toasted. I like bread toasted, not my rice and beans. My son noted that this was the first Mexican restaurant he'd been in that had absolutely no hot sauce on the tables. Not a big deal normally, just ask your attentive server. Whoops, I forgot which restaurant I was talking about. No hot sauce, the salsa wasn't worth using. I feel like I lost an hour of my life I will never get back, and they stole my money. There are a multitude of restaurants in Redding and the surrounding area that will treat you well and appreciate your business. This one couldn't have cared less that we were there. read more

Crap. The worst type of fake mexican food. Ingredients listed in the menu are not included in the dish. When enquiring what "cotija" cheese was, the very nice waitress said "we don't have that. Usually only real Mexican food places, with Mexicans on grill, have that cheese." Oooo-kay. The margs are all blended with syrup; mine mango marg tasted like they added an entire bottle of my grandma's perfume to it, really really terrible. The chicken was fatty and greasy, the beans were full of dried bits, the rice crusty. Seriously, not a place I would recommend to anyone. read more

Server was nice but extremely neglectful. Chips were stale. Salsa looked and tasted like stew tomatoes. Extremely bland. Portions were decent sized except for the Philly with fries. #canihaveapuppybag #maybemydogwilleatit read more

On a recent outing to find the best day bar and bartender the Stalker Club of Redding (S.C.O.R.) visited a old favorite place to eat for Mexican Food Tortilla Flats. To our surprise we found the bar to be clean and bigger than we thought it would be. Prices were high for being there during the day but we found out later that the "Happy Hour" did not start till 4pm not 3pm when we were there. Our bartender Kim was a delight and made our visit better than what the bar actually was. Bar owners take note that you can have a so-so place but a good bartender can make your place rise above others. we rate this place a three and a half mainly due to Kim. If you want a beer during the day we suggest this pace to go to but go after 4pm. read more

Great place to eat and great service. The food is delicious. I come here at least three times a year being I live in San Francisco.

Horrible is all I can say. My friend found a hair in her food. She sent it back. Waitress brought out the same plate and told her that it was lettuce. Lettuce doesn't have any black hairs. Then the waitress went over and was talking about my friend to other customers. My friend confronted the waitress and the waitress wanted to argue with her in front of everyone. The manager was very nice and came over to talk to us and ended up saying he would take care of the bill. Still not going back. read more

It's bothersome that this restaurant is rated low. Yes, it's older. Yes, the uniforms are about two decades out of style. Yes, the food is amazing. I travel a lot and eat out on average of 70 times per month. I can safely say that tortilla flats has some of the best salsa and tacos anywhere. They're always consistent and amazing. For a restaurant that could get lazy and tired with age, thank you for continuing to make amazing food. read more

I do not recommend coming here if you want to eat authentic Mexican food. Chips were stale (half of them), food was underseasoned and rice and beans didn't have any flavor. One good thing was the green jalapeño salsa...ask for it when you get your chips. The place looks nice and servers were polite but over the food was just not good. Most likely I will not be coming back. read more

Just finished dinner here and all I can say is horrible. Just horrible. The service was good, but besides that..... Bleh. My stomach already hurts. I'd rather spend money on a dinner at McDonald's than this place. read more

Tortilla Flats - This is the meat that came in my fajita burrito. Nothing but nasty old dry meat. Very upset I spent 23$ here. - Mexican Near Me - Redding, California

Oh my let me start. The food was so bad. I had a beef taco platter and i found so much fat in my taco it was not meant for human or animal consumption. The beans were so salty that after the first bite i had to drink half my glass of water. The service was good and i think that might be the only thing that keeps that place open. But the manager that was there looked like she was upset just to be there. When we walked in the manager was there and we like almost got a evil look from her for taking time out of her day so we could spend our hard earned money there. So food is awful, service is above average, and management is lost. read more

If you are looking for bland Mexican cuisine than this is the place for you! I went there with my wife and three kids. None of us finished more than a quarter of our meals. In fact, we went right to McDonald's afterwards. The salsa is disgusting and is basically crushed tomatoes from a can. I ordered the Carne Asada. The meat was flavorless and over cooked, as was the beans and rice. The lettuce was brown and the tomatoes tasted funny. We thought we would play it safe and order chicken nuggets and fries for my four year old daughter, but she spit out the first bite of a French fry and didn't eat her chicken nuggets because they were burned and overly saturated with grease. Even the water tasted funny! This place is gross! read more

I just attempted, I repeat attempted, to have lunch here with my family. No exaggeration we waited for thirty minutes for someone to offer us a drink. When no one even said they'd be with us shortly during this thirty minutes we had to leave, without lunch. read more

Ugh! Where to even start... My husband and I ate here out of pure curiosity and needless to say, will never return. When we first walked in, we noticed the place was just down right dirty and smelled like mold. The waitress was on something else too. Anyways the tortilla soup was so bad, my macho man husband couldn't even stomach it. The enchiladas were so microwaved that the sauce peeled off in a film. The beans were over cooked and crunchy. The rice, believe it or not, was under cooked. We ended up sending everything back and the mother******s still made us pay the $40 bill. Bad food. Bad hospitality. Ended up getting taco bell for dinner. read more

Food tastes like its fresh out of a microwave meal at the grocery store. Chips and salsa were good as was the service. Would not go back because of the poor food, however read more

The chips and salsa were good, but the actual food was not. My kids liked the place and thought it was fun and the waitress was very nice. But, the food just wasn't good enough to make me want to come back. read more

Don't let the "rough" exterior fool you, the staff is very friendly here and the food is pretty good. As a mexican, I can say that I approve. I was very skeptical when I saw that this was the place my family had chosen for lunch but it was a nice dining experience. I'm a sucker for good frijoles and they sure delivered! read more

Some of the absolute worst food I've ever had; horrible. Don't waste your time or money because there's no reason to ever have bad Mexican food in California due to the abundance of restaurants of this genre. Cheap tortilla chips from a bag, the "salsa" was chopped tomatoes and water and the meal was just gross. I can't see why or how they're still in business! Disgusting! read more
