Don't bother. Food is terrible and the service is worse. Had to ask three times just to get water. Whole party wasn't given pace setting and the food came out in a mixture of over/under cooked. The stock Sysco ingredients leave little to the imagination. Stay home or move on down the road. read more

"Authentic Mexican Food" is what's made clear by nearly every sign you see on the restaurant. That I can assure you is not true, the appetizer chips & salsa were quite stale. The salsa didn't have much flavor either. A family member ordered a quesadilla & got a small fold of a tortilla with cheese in it. Mexican Quesadillas are occasionally the size of a car tire, these were a disgrace. The staff on the other hand were quite polite, but not worth returning a second time read more

Tortilla flats is getting a facelift! I love the new booths! Sitting by the fire place right now eating a fajita burrito.......yum! I come hear because I CRAVE their salsa, in my opinion the best in town. The margaritas aren't bad either and very reasonably priced. I LOVE this restaurant! read more

We haven't been here in years and had a great dinner. The salsa is bland but dinner was great. I ordered the chili relleno and beef taco in crispy flour tortilla. My husband ordered the crab enchilada dinner. We both really liked our meals. Service was great waitress was fast refilled our drinks several times. Our food came out quick we will be coming back more frequently. read more

Tortilla Flats - Mexican Near Me - Redding, California

Tasty food and friendly staff. We regularly enjoy the nachos, street tacos, and a few of the burritos. The margaritas could use a bit tequila to them, but that's the only complaint. read more

I was in town on business and was recommended to come here. Overall it was nothing special I've had better Mexican food many places. The salsa might as well of been ketchup had no flavor spice or heat. Ordered the chicken taco and chicken enchilada with beans and rice not a whole lot of flavor. The taco and beans had some sauce on it which I assume was to hide the fact there was no flavor. If you're just looking for food this place will do but if you want something with a little bit more flavor and bang for your buck look elsewhere read more

I had a surprise birthday party for my husband on Sept.16 2011 the food was great and the margaritas were the best we have ever had. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. My brother who was visiting from Boston was very impressed with the place A good time was had by all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Velda O. read more

Old restaurant, looks like a faithful local crowd, service wonderful, we tried it once, won't be back. Hardly any chicken in the chimichanga, lots of beans. Priced high for the quality of food. Left with our stomachs full because we wanted to eat what we paid for and then regretted it. I feel bad leaving this review because the people were so nice but I have to be honest. read more

Redding, CA isn't know for fantastic Mexican food and I've enjoyed Mexican all over CA. That said, Tortilla Flats has got to be the absolute worst, not only in Mexican, but food in general; my wife and I couldn't even stomach it enough to finish. We had the shredded beef taco with chili relleno. Taco barely had any meat. Rice seemed like it had sat out for hours, very dried-out. The refried beans were almost like soup, but edible with the stale chips that tasted like they were left out on a counter from the night before. But the chili relleno... That got the prize for the most disgusting attempt at a chili relleno; terrible! The place just felt dirty. Rustic is one thing, dirty is quite another. Service was okay and very fast. The plates came out very hot (Chef Mike at his best). Save your money, unless just going there for a margarita. read more

I will not eat here again. Slow service. Food was horrible. It was not hot...Luke warm. They charge you for Xtra tortillas. Will not be eating there again. read more

If NO stars was an option I d choose it. This is the absolute worst "Mexican" food I have ever had the misfortune of consuming. Their "Spanish" sauce looks like vomit it has 0 flavor. I'm still confused as to why a Mexican restaurant would call one of their sauces Spanish. The salsa tasted like tomato sauce from a can. My husband said his enchilada tasted like a microwave dinner enchilada. My chimichanga was just meh. The rice tasted old, dry, and stale. It was totally disgusting, the service was not great, and it was way over priced. I really think I could have gotten a more satisfying meal at Taco Bell, yes that's right Taco Bell! I cannot stress enough that you should not waste your money on this restaurant. read more

Tortilla Flats is awesome. We needed a place to have a private company meeting for our office staff of 8 people. I called around to every restaurant in town, but no one could accommodate us because of our small party size. Because of their previous reviews I made Tortilla Flats my last call, but I should have made them my first. Not only did they welcome our office party, but they were very patient as we had our long conversations before ordering and tended to our every need seamlessly. On top of that, the food was delivered to our table quickly after ordering, our drinks were never empty, the food was delicious and the service was charming. I highly recommend checking out Tortilla Flats and when you do, give a review on Yelp. read more

Food here is really gotten better and mainly because the old owners from the 80's have gotten the restaurant back and are turning it around! I now go usually 3 days a week especially since it is such a great family atmosphere and always have the sports on! I would recommend to everyone the chicken tacos they are the best in town! read more

If i could rate the service alone I would give out 5 stars! The food on the other hand was, well, let's say maybe the cook was having a bad night. Taco was charred to the point that there was a hole burnt through the bottom of the shell. The rice, beans, and the Chile Rellano were pretty good. Chips were a mixture of good and bad. The salsa has no taste at all. read more

Best food in town. Plus they have short skirts again. Must have good personel policies since some wait staff have been there over 30 years and still have great looking legs. read more

Thank you all for making my Birthday Special. Sammie thank you for the Guitar playing and all my friends for making it great. I love this place. read more

The Albondigas soup is amazing. My favorite combo is the soup with a cheese enchilada. Both are reliable and very tasty. These five stars are for these items only... but they are so good that I keep coming back. read more

I didn't think it was possible to screw up Mexican food this bad. This place is definitely the worst in Redding and I would be willing to bet it is the worst in all of California. I gagged down half a Chili Verde burrito before I realized it may not be food at all! That was three hours ago and I am feeling quite nauseated. There are many good restaurants in Redding, this is not one of them. read more

I hadn't been here in a long time -because of past experiences- but i think they have stepped up their game. Although things are still dated and the waitress uniforms are a little demeaning, we had great service and food. Next time I'm in the mood for nachos this is where I'll be going. read more

I am really surprised to read all the terrible reviews. We've eaten there many times and mostly really like it. It's not perfect, but the service is usually pretty good. I love their chile rellenos and their flan (I like it firm like they make it). It's maybe a little over priced. I am not a salsa lover, so can't comment on that. I think the waitress costumes are really cute! Never mind the pineapple cheesecake, it's commercial. I think maybe is really depends on what you order. My husband likes the wet burritos and I love their nachos. read more

My family has been going here for years and it is still our go-to restaurant when the whole family is in town. When we drive down from WA twice a year we always go to Tortilla Flats first. read more

Great burrito and tamale, delicious sauce. Ambience is kitsch in a good way. Funky dark restaurant. Very nice waitresses and I give them points for wearing supremely silly mini skirt Mexican peasant dresses. read more

I had dinner here tonight with 3 friends. 3 out of our 4 dishes came out completely wrong, including my burrito that came out with literally nothing in it except for beans... This was very upsetting seeing as my last visit here was not much better, and this used to be my go-to Mexican restaurant in town. This is where my mother and I would go for every single one of our lunch dates. I did not eat more than 2 bites of this burrito and asked that it just be removed from the bill since it was completely wrong and not eaten. They still felt it necessary to charge me half-price for this plate for some reason. I paid $6 for 2 bites of a bean burrito... I am very sad to say that none of the 4 of us will be returning to eat here again. I don't know what happened to this place over the last year but it has just become an awful experience, every time. But hey, at least the Coronas were cold, and the waiters were very friendly and apologetic. read more

The worst food I have ever eaten out. Dry, crusty rice, beans were ok, salsa not very good at all, chips thick and hard, my enchilada tasted like a tv dinner one. My daughters sauce on her bean burrito tasted like tomato sauce from a can or spaghetti sauce. Everyone kept asking if everything was good, I quietly said yes and smiled slightly, I should have been honest. i just won't ever go back. The waitress was great and very busy, not her fault the food was bad. Sorry she had to wear that hideous outfit. The place was pretty busy and noisy, atmosphere looked ok. Over priced for the food in my opinion. read more

Wow, shocked to see bad reviews on here! I have had nothing but good things to say about this place! First - Best margarita in town. Hands down. Second- their regular tacos are amazing... Unlike any other taco you'll find in Redding.. Homestyle, not store bought. Specifically, the fish tacos are too-die-for! Give this place a try. It's in an old school part of redding, which adds a funky charm. The original owners recently reclaimed the restaurant after several years if it being under different ownership and management. It has been brought back to life with quality food, service and margaritas! Don't miss out on the best Mexican food in Redding. read more

The staff was very good and seemed concerned about their customers. The food on the other hand was the reason for the 3-star rating that I gave it. read more

You know what we came here now 4 times and everything was great the margaritas are delicious the food was delicious and the deep fried ice cream was a dream :)) the prices are reasonable and the have happy hour everyday from 4-6pm. My hubby loves this place !!! Sammy is a amazing bartender... read more

Great food and exceptional service. Austin the bartender serviced our needs great and the food was amazing! Highly recommended the enchiladas rancheros! Next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to stop by again. read more

This was very good Mexican food. We are seniors and they are willing to split without extra charge. We had the chille verde burrito.

Haven't been for a while. Was the best we have had for a long time. I had the seafood burrito, I ate the whole thing. OMG. So good. No left overslol read more

This was the worst "mexican restaurant" to eat at. First, the waitress didn't even smile and hardly acknowledged me and my boyfriend when we entered. Then she threw out menus on the table. The second waitress was nicer but never asked how our food was. The food was beyond terrible. I got a chile rellano and it was the most disgusting, bland thing I'd ever tried. The chile itself was a pale green color with no flavor or spice. The sauce tasted like watery pasta or lasagna sauce. My boyfriend thought it tasted like fish. His burrito tasted hard and crunchy and the beans were dried out. The chips were stale and some of them were burnt. The atmosphere was uncomfortable and it was dark inside and the whole place smelled musty or moldy. Nobody said anything to us as we left. I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone. It's a surprise they have been in business for so long. read more

People working are pretty nice-just does not make up for the terrible food. Famous margaritas are watered down . Homemade salsa out of a jar did not have any fresh tomato salsa nor shredded cheese anywhere to be found.Chichen fajita was full of fat and grizzle - Taco Bell food is more authentic than this place. read more

Been going here for 30 years so I may be a lil partial but if you know what to get this is the place to go. Lets start with the Margaritas, BEST IN TOWN! Bar none they cant be beat and that is the reason we go here. Shredded beef tacos are great! I'd put their nachos up against any in town. SPANISH SAUCE IS GREAT! get a side of that with your dinner.If you order anything chicken ask for the fajita chicken, way mobetta. Owner does a good job of hiring good looking waitresses and I like the uniforms.Salsa is cheapo but its free and plenty. Order some pico d gallo its really good. Fajita salad gotta have one.....Cons: Chille Reano is bad but i still order all the time, if it ain't fried it is cooked on a conveyor belt so ya that sux. Could useThis business has been locally owned by the same family for ever so im proud to speak up for Tortilla Flats read more

This place is the worst Mexican food in Shasta county! Rice in mush, Beans are burnt, and large pieces of Cartilage in the chicken taco. That's right CARTILAGE! read more

I don't know why people have given this restaurant a bad review! I love Tortilla Flats and my family has been going here for years, they are always friendly and efficient, there food is good and tasty and I recommend it to anyone. read more

Tortilla Flats has always been my go to restaurant. Their shredded beef tacos and cheese quesadilla are my go to meal! And their margaritas are always perfect. The service is always great and exceptionally quick and the staff couldn't be more friendly. If you want to feel at home this is the place to go! read more

Not sure about some of these reviews. Great food, Margaritas and service for a very reasonable rate. We go here frequently and when friends or family come in from town and want Mexican food, this is the place. Always a good meal with great service... read more

Terrible terrible terrible... I don't know why I keep going back expecting something better. I've gone to this restaurant since I was a little girl. It was wonderful back in the day. My special nachos was gross. The beans on the bottom were all crusty and my daughters quesadilla had been sitting in the window for so long that her fries were floppy and full or grease and the cheese had hardened. We were sat right outside the party room in the back. There was a really big and loud party going on. To be fair, the owner came over and tried to make it right. She took off the nachos from our bill and re made my daughters quesadilla and apologized. I will be looking for a new favorite Mexican restaurant as I have been continuously disappointed with this place. read more

A group of us went to lunch here. Nobody in the group had eaten here before. I have to say this is the worst mexican food I have ever eaten. I have eaten at a lot of mexican places throughout the years; even Mexico itself. I ordered chicken taco and enchilada. The chicken didn't look or taste like chicken. It was ground up like some kind of processed cheap meat. I actually had to take it out, and only eat the taco shell. The beans were good, and the chips and salsa was good. No one cared for their meal. One of us actually ordered chicken strips, and was questioned by the waitress in a non professional way about the order. Then when she received her lunch she actually received the kids meal. The other waitress's nose was running the whole time, and it wasn't very appetizing hearing her constantly sniff the whole time she was serving us. Sorry bad experience and food. read more

I went and ate here about 4 days ago. The original owners are back and have make everything great. All the food is fresh, made every day and made from scratch. I would definitely tell someone to go here. The improvements they have made are amazing. Glad I gave it another shot. The old owners have turned this place around. read more
