    La Comida's signature chips and salsa (don't have too much before your entree)
    Brandon A.

    okay, if you want authentic Mexican street food? this ain't the place. you will not find Spanish-speaking Mexican immigrants dining here. you will find a lot of local plus-sized white folks enjoying the grub though... because you get A LOT of food for a reasonable price. as a kid who grew up in Chico in the 80s, La Comida was and is an iconic staple of affordable food that tastes great... from their "Super Burrito" to their signature chips 'n' salsa, La Comida is comfort! a caucasian version of Mexican food meets Fast Food in a sit down environment. Dear La Comida: Chico loves you exactly the way that you are -- stay the same, fail to change XOXO

    Order here~

    I hadn't been to La Comida since ohhhhh... 1991ish and kinda forgot what it was all about (besides Mexican food, duh). I was surprised they made it through Covid and are still open so I had to try them again. I went in on taco Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised with my taco, my enchilada, and the rice and beans. It's definitely not the best Mexican food I've ever had but it's not totally terrible either. It's somewhere in that mediocre range, but the price is right so "mediocre" is ok by me. I also really love that you can refill your drink, and chips/salsa as many times as you want (because no restaurants actually offer this awesome service anymore!) At 98.9% of restaurants located anywhere you have to pay for every little thing but La Comida keeps it 100 by not changing the never-ending sodas and chips/salsa. LOVE THAT! I'd have to say that taco Tuesday is probably the best day to go but beware, you are going to have to wait in line and you might have to wait a while for your food. Other than that, I had a pretty good experience and... If you know me, I'm a stickler for parking which happens to be super easy since their parking lot is ginormous. Solid three stars for me if you haven't been there in a while go check it out.

    Fiesta Salad

    ordered a fiesta salad, no meat jut rice and beans with ranch on the side and no tomatoes. It says that on my receipt too. I received no rice just beans no ranch and tomatoes all on top. disappointed to say the least

    Bean Tostada with dressing on the side.

    Lunch Room quality for a lunch room price. Do not expect authentic Mexican food. Dated and depressing. 2 Stars due to appropriate pricing.

    Best Birria in Chico! I've been to a few places and they were okay but the consume never had a lot…read moreof flavor. Well Mas Amor was amazing - meat is tender and flavorful and the consume is tasty and has some good flavor! Order the BIRRIA!! I should have asked for extra cilantro and onion but we had a wonderful lunch! The decor is so cute and the lighting is calming and nice. Love the artwork super creative and beautiful pieces! The marigold garland on the ceiling is a nice touch and the music videos were on point. It felt like we had gone on a journey and left Chico! I had the Birria Quesadilla with consume and mom had Birria nachos! Neither disappointed for sure. The meat is so tender and flavorful and added a nice touch to the nachos! I was surprised my mom even ordered Birria but she was happy she did. We didn't order chips and was happy we didn't because between the nachos and Birria quesadilla it was the perfect amount of food. Washed it down with a Modelo and couldn't have been happier! Makes me want to go back for the Birria Ramen!! The salsa was served in the cutest little clay containers on a beautiful clay heart plate. The dishes were great and so was the food - I highly recommend trying them out I'm sure the rest of the food is good too! Can't wait to try more from the menu. They have a food truck also off of Nord - will have to try that too!!

    This place is tucked away in a shared space, but you'll know you're in the right place when you get…read morethere. The decor is outstanding! Food is delicious and staff is friendly. I was a bit short on time so didn't get to fully appreciate the ambiance, however will plan to come back and enjoy it.

    Don't enjoy giving poor reviews, but if I'd've seen the current reviews I likely wouldn't have gone…read morehere. We found it by accident and were impressed by the menu, but the food was just not good. We ordered the shrimp ceviche plate ($19.99), chile relleno/chicken enchilada plate ($18.50), and fish ceviche tostada ($7.50). The ceviche was basically a pico de gallo, lacked flavor and salt/spice, and the shrimp appeared and tasted to have been canned- tiny and scarce- really couldn't tell there were any shrimp at all. Didn't realize it would be so watery, so if you choose to try the ceviche tostada, you might wanna get to the tostada shell before it gets soggy. The enchilada sauce lacked flavor and the cheese was grainy and mushy; the chile relleno- the chile was soggy, flavorless, and not at all firm, and the cheese quickly seized up like a thick glue and was also flavorless. They have a chips and salsa bar where you serve yourself. Unfortunately, the chips had no salt; the salsa options were decently flavored. The jalapenos had flavor. Customers pay when they order at the counter and I was charged a $.75 "No Cash Fee" for using my credit card (probably standard, yeah?). Like most places these days, the lowest tip option is 15%, which I selected to give the benefit of doubt. Lastly, I had to wipe the bench before sitting, and the chair back was sticky when I pulled it out to sit down. This was probably the worst almost-$60 I've ever spent on food that looked so promising. And as I said, I really don't enjoy giving poor reviews, but maybe this will help someone make a decision.
