Okay, this place is a Taqueria- but where we come from the taquerias are the outstanding Mexican food over the restaurants. We've never had a chicken taco salad with ground chicken. Seriously? That was my husband's dinner. I had the Vegetable taco salad and it tasted like bagged lettuce and tomatoes. The guacamole was nondescript, to say the least. The delivered salads look nothing like the photos on their website. Don't bother with the chips and salsa. The chips taste like last year's leftovers. A sadly disappointing dinner after a long day of driving. read more

Solid carnitas burrito. Visiting Redding on way to Oregon. Not toohungry for dinner after a long trek from LA, but needed something so split burrito with Wife. Carnitas were slightly carmelized and crunchy the way I like them. Rice and beans mixed with cilantro and onions was the right balance. Nice find. Place was crowded even though it was close to closing time. Thumbs up Zarape. read more

Basic taqueria with good food. Not a large menu, but attracted me with a list of several shrimp dishes. Mine was tasty with well-cooked shrimp and lots of onion, plus rice and beans, and some really fresh hot tortillas. My companion's quesadilla was thick and good. Friendly ordering at the counter, and they will bring your food to your table, even if you eat outside, which is pleasant and shaded on a warm day. Quite satisfied that I wound up here while casing Redding for lunch. read more

If I could give -10 stars that's what I'd do. This is the most awful business I have ever dealt With. They messed up my order when I was leaving town and opened to eat and was completely un edible. I called right away and offered to bring the burritos back because I wanted my money back and they refused to. They kept passing the phone back-and-forth acting like they don't speak English and when I go there, I always tip them, but if you don't tip them more than five dollars, they treat you like shit and mess up your food. I'm so pissed. I will never go there again. $30 for two burritos is a lot of money just to be thrown in the trash. These people are awful and act like they cannot speak English. Don't ever go there. read more

I came here for dinner and also to get a breakfast burrito for an early morning the next day. The tacos were great, good size and full of meat, perhaps a smidge pricey at ~$5 after tax and tip each, but still delicious. The lengua (tongue) was tender and meaty, cooked the way it should be. The tripas though were the stand out - crispy, smoky, rich... I might get just these next time. If you haven't tried this before, don't be squeamish - they don't taste like offal, they don't have a weird texture, they are just delicious. The tortillas were also great, thin and chewy and just strong enough to hold onto the ingredients while you ate. It should also be noted that they have free and unlimited chips and salsa. And the salsas are quite tasty, the salsa verde being my favorite. The super breakfast burrito was eaten cold at around 5 am the next morning, so obviously it wouldn't be fair to judge it like I had it fresh. But it was well constructed, very well sized, and had plenty of egg and bacon in it. It was good even if not eaten at the optimal time and temperature. The restaurant is located next to a sushi bar (which I am too scared to try given Redding's inland location) and has a big parking lot. They take credit cards and bring the food to your table.

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.

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!

The bartender spent most of her time talking with another party and never checked on me or asked if I needed anything. Ironically, the bartender working today was Ashley's sister, which made the difference in service even more noticeable. Unfortunately, the level of service was not comparable to the excellent service I've received from Ashley or Corina in the past. I hope this was just an off day, as my previous experiences have been much better. Food w

We got a lunch special chicken enchilada and a chicken taco with rice and beans and dang so much food for 10.99. What a steal and they even topped us off with the salsa and bean mixture. I wish I would've taken photos but I ate it so fast I was so hungry. The waitresses were so nice and complimented my tattoos it was really cute! The restaurant was very clean and welcoming! I am really glad we found this place to try out.
