Listen. All day long I've been thinking about this burrito. All day long. I moved to the Bay Area and I miss this place, so when I was visiting I needed to make a stop. I pull into the driveway at 10:50- admittedly a little late. I've been doing homework all day and rushed out the door to get here before they close at 11. Because sweet Jesus I just want a super burrito. The lady in the drive through says "were closed." I said "wait...don't you close at 11?" She says "we close at 10:45." To add insult to injury, when I pull up to leave the drive through there's a car there getting food. I walked into the gas station to get actual gas a few minutes later and they're still fully operational, music playing and everything, just to make it even worse. I get hating your service job, I've been there. I get that I showed up ten minutes to closing and that's annoying. I get it. But don't LIE to me about closing time so you don't have to serve another customer. That's so lazy and gross and terrible business practice. I'll be back but only during the day when this person isn't working, and I'll tip well like I always do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

El Grossioso Burrito would be a more appropriate name for this place. I would only suggest this place if nothing else is open and you are starving. I have had a few different items from this restaurant. The bean and cheese burrito is the worst I have ever had in my life. It is a tasteless slop of smashed pinto beans and cheese. The chile rellano is also gross, the chile was not tender and way too much sauce covers the whole thing. I should be able to see the chiles, it was like they were trying to hide it. They do have good Horchata, the only redeeming item on the menu. read more

We ordered several burritos for a door dash order, the order was confirmed, our dasher went to pick it up and all of a sudden the restaurant canceled our order with NO EXPLANATION. I will never go here again. That is so very unprofessional. Sorry you don't want any business, I guess with covid and all your business is self sufficient. Oh and they waited to cancel until it was too late to order elsewhere. Thanks for that. Now our unit of nurses will just have no dinner while we take care of YOUR family members and loved ones. SMH. Never again. read more

A couple people told me this place had great breakfast burritos. They were wrong. Gave lunch a try once. It was gross. Pick a different place. read more

I recently moved back to Redding after living in the Bay Area for 11 years and have been craving authentic Bay Area quality Mexican food. Let me tell you this little hole in the wall gas station food completely caught me by surprise and exceeded my expectations. The prices are unbeatable, the quantity is more than you would expect with what you pay. The meat to tortilla ratio is perfect. The burrito I had was the carne asada burrito and the meat went from end to end and it was so good and tender. Also the food was served with a smile. That might not mean much to some but to others a smile goes a long way. Will definitely be going again. read more

I went back to try something else on the menu and it did not disappoint, I order tacos Adobados and omg the best I have ever eaten! Rice and beans were perfect too. I will definitely be back read more

Once again an absolutely delicious burrito. Great service, great price, delicioso!! They want me to write more to make this a full review but I think I said it all!! Delicioso!! read more

Good spot, been coming here consistently and have not encountered any issues both with the food or the service.

We really like this drive thru. You can go in too but we usually drive thru and run home. The carne asada burritos are ginormous. And delicious. With green verde sauce or red if you must. Churros are ok, carne asada is the best flavor and tender. In tacos, burritos or salad. Try it out. Beans and rice and all the other add ons have been good also. Yummy and fast. Carne Asada Burritol two can share or pig out. Or have tmrw. read more

Giving 3 stars for value and taste. Losing 2 stars because I don't know what has changed but service is horribly slow. 25 minutes in a drive thru is no bueno. read more

Some of the worst mexican food i ever had in my life. Tasteless. Lifeless. Expensive. Taco bell is better

Yum yum yum!!! I come from Southern California where Alberto's was my go-to for fast authentic Mexican food. In Redding it's here!!

Don't let this gas station taqueria fool you...some of them best authentic Mexican food in Redding. Quick easy delicious take-home dinner via drive thru. Gotta love it.. Kid in drive-thru is super friendly and funny too. read more

I have tried this place twice. Once a year or so ago, and I it was alright, but just okay. Today our whole office ordered it, so I got to try it again. I ordered a meat-free breakfast burrito with only eggs, potatoes and cheese in it. There were a few chunks of bacon in my meat-free burrito. If this was an ingredient a customer requested not be added due to allergy, this could have been a big problem. Suffice to say, I am not happy at all, and will not be trying them again. read more

When I'm eating a delicious burrito, I'm focused. I'm in the zone. Like a soldier going into battle. It's all about the stance--head forward, shoulders hunched, a burrito in one hand, a container of spicy salsa in the other, and eyes focused on my meaty prize. It's about refining my skill of successfully shoving a massive burrito into my mouth without spilling a single drop on my shirt. So this burrito place is in a gas station eh? Well frankly, my dears, I don't give a dam because when it comes down to what I want, El Delicioso delivers. And that is a darn tootin' good burrito at a excellent price. Overall, I've tried the California burrito, the carnitas burrito, and the wet burrito. All of them were delicious and huge. The wet burritos used to be $3.99 but they recently raised it a dollar. Still a great deal because they are big and covered with gooey cheese and yummy red sauce. However, sometimes I find that they skimp on the meats and use more rice and beans in the wet burritos. They don't skimp on the meat for the carnitas burrito though. They offer a salsa bar with pico de gallo, green verde sauce, a couple of other red salsas, and the usual marinated veggies. They also have a drive-thru, if you would like to gorge in peace or if decide your burrito eating skills are not yet refined enough for the public eye. Based on price, I think El Delicioso beats out Los Gordos as my go-to burrito place (this is by Redding standards of course). If I want ambiance, I'll go to Puerto Vallarta. But when I want to satisfy my burrito hankerin's, you'll find me at El Delicioso. Just don't bother me while I'm in the zone. Or during my post-burrito-demolition food coma for that matter. *Menu pics as of about a month ago (early 6/2013) read more

I have lived my adult life by three rules: Rule No. 1: You do not talk about fight club. Rule No. 2: Stay away from free rides in strange white vans Rule No. 3: Never eat from a restaurant located in a gas station. Thankfully El Delicioso Burrito has expanded my horizons on rule number 3! I had to give it a try after reading so many other reviews and decided to look past the 76 Gas Station exterior. I went with the combo number 8: Two Carne Asada tacos, beans and rice. Added a large horchata total came to $11.37. Well worth it! Food was delicious great serving size, quick and friendly service. I will be back again to check out more of their menu. read more

Shasta burritos are as well as the carne asada fries! nothing like some French fries in your burrito it's decent priced and there's a drive through read more

The masses are correct when they suggested the Redding Mix breakfast burrito. It's loaded and juiced up with sour cream and cheese. We must have waited 15 minutes for our food to be ready. It's slow going early in the morning but it was worth the wait. I'd like to see efficiency as a rated scale because on the ole' 1-10 scale with 10 being Ze German level of efficiency. These guys scored a six and that's being nice. No one likes taking a siesta in the drive thru. Burrito was massive and price is competitive. read more

My wife is picky, and she was on the road. I had been here before, so when she said I want to run in, get food, and get into the hotel to eat . . . this was a natural. YES IT'S IN A GAS STATION ? YES IT'S GREAT FOOD! She doesn't usually like refried beans, she likes theirs. read more

The breakfast is worth 5 stars and the nachos are great when you just need to be full

Rolled tacos are the best but wet burritos with the signature sauce are great too. I actually think everything I've had is good but some of their items are great. read more

I stayed overnight in Redding at a air b n b and asked my Host where to get some good Mexican food And he said this place. "It's in a gas station but good". I got the chicken enchiladas and they were good! Good price also! Only complaint is the styrofoam take out stuff. Plastic bags also. Otherwise I'm Good read more

Best burrito in town. Love the shasta jumbo. They also have really good tongue taco. The nacho chips were only $1.30 and it was a huge serving. read more

So good! This place is one of my favorites for mexican food. It tastes just like how my family makes it down in LA. They sometimes take a while to make the food but it's totally worth the wait. Only other small complaint I have is the drive-thru menu, some of the prices don't reflect what they actually charge. read more

I have had the torta adobada, and also the California burrito adobada. Both were incredibly delicious! I love al pastor, and the adobada is great here. I'm so happy they let me get the California burrito with adobada. I love that there is a drive thru! They're prices are also very decent. The tortas are only $5.60 and huge! The California burrito is $5.99 and also a great size. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because their tacos are way too expensive. $2.99 for a soft taco is absurd. I don't know what is up with NorCal and expensive tacos, but it's super annoying. read more

Worst Mexican food I've probably ever eaten. Ordered carnitas and a ham quesidia. The carnitas was some crusty burnt pork that was little better than dog food. The ham quesedilla was like chopped crappy spam on a store bought tortilla and processed cheese. The salsa was just chopped fresh tomatoes and no flavor at all. Pure shit. read more

I absolutely love el delicioso their redding mix breakfast burritos are to die for and their chile relleno is fantastic. Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious. read more

My favorite place for authentic tacos with delicious rice and beans. Can't find tacos like this anywhere else. That Boeing said I didn't give 5 stars for one reason. I went last week for my fix and was sadly disappointed. It seems the portions have all SHRUNK!! It's so sad. I would rather pay more and keep tacos the same size as well as the rice and beans which used to be plentiful. The tacos....although still delicious are now similar in size to street tacos. So sad. Please bring back the full sides and regular size tacos!!! read more

I came from San Diego County and this is the closest thing to "REAL AUTHENTIC" especially when it c on es to Cali burrito!!!!!!!!!!

excellent food choices, everything tastes wonderful. friendly staff clean location. easy in and out, close to freeway.

Horrible customer service. I pulled up to the drive thru to order and to my surprise noone answers me for 5 minutes of saying "hello". So I did what any sane person would do. I pull up to the window instead to order since noone is answering. A car is in front of me for 30minutes waiting apparently they had an issue (okay fine I'll let it go). As soon as I want to order they tell me they can't take it because they already have the order behind me ready? How hard is it to take the order on the window and pay there? Not my fault noone answers during business hours. Wasted 30 + min of my life and time for someone to tell me I can't order at the window. At least give me a solution or make it up to waiting customers for wasting time. read more

This menudo is not bad at all, DO try this authentic mexican soup. So far best I've had in Redding Ca. Comes in a small bowl with tortillas of your choice(corn or flour),cilantro, slice of lime and onion on the side. This is ONLY served SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS. Price has changed, this is sold for ABOUT $9 tax included. I do not recommend for people that don't like textured foods. Best way I can describe texture is somewhat chewy like when eating oysters. read more

I love this place! Best salsa in town and the tacos are bomb!! Great service and awesome staff!!

Decent. Got the Carne Asada burrito special with rice and beans. Wasn't bad, but wasn't the best I've ever had. Lots of grease from the meat settled at the bottom of my burrito. It wasn't very warm, either. I'd go back, but it's not to die for in my opinion. read more

Something happened. New owner? New cook? What happened? My beef chimichanga is 70% beans and chicken. My guac chips are 50% cheese and taste like they been in the fridge for 4 hours. read more

Always love getting the Redding Mix breakfast burrito here. We try to go every time we're in Redding. Don't let the fact that it's in a gas station fool you. It's some of the best Mexican ever! Admittedly, I haven't tried any of the other menu items for lunch or dinner but I suspect it's all very good. read more

So far being from the Bay Area this is the best burrito spot I have found. I would probably not get the lettuce next time in my super burrito. The burrito is fat I'll tell you that! read more

It is pretty good for a drive through Mexican restaurant inside a gas station. The food is consistent, hot, and fast! The only thing that has ever annoyed me about this place is I always ask for extra salsa and they'll put one (maybe two) small cups of salsa in the bag. Other than that, the staff is friendly, the food is good and inexpensive. read more

I order takeout every week..well it's been 3 weeks now..the first week they sent me all kinds of sauces with my order and no tortillas which were supposed to be included...the second week, got the tortillas but no sauces, today no sauces and no tortillas..very inconsistent....not good! read more
