Food is tasty and fresh. Portions are huge. Service is ok for a order your self restaurant. Do not like the lack of fountain sodas. Only bottled soda and beers. Might go back read more

I come here all the time with my family either for the Ice Cream or dinner. This is honestly my go to Mexican sit down spot. You get the best service and food for what you pay for. Coming from LA I was spoiled with Mexican food choices but this place makes me feel right at home This place doesn't miss read more

Speedy and fast service but all the food was mid. Salsa super boring and unflavorful with the exception of the one with the onion strips. Purchased a burrito and some tacos to split with my husband and everything was just incredibly flavorless and underwhelming. Their beers and drinks look great and they have a nice patio... they are attached to an ice cream shop so maybe I'll be back for that. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Chico. Their carnitas, rice, and beans are all perfectly seasoned, salsa bar is fantastic, and add the cucumber lime agua fresca really tops it all off read more

We'd never been here before, only driven by it, so we decided to stop in for lunch and give it a try. We ordered the mojarra frita, cóctel de camarón, taco de lengua, and a tostada de ceviche, along with an agua de limón con pepino, jamaica, and a michelada. We enjoyed everything--great flavors and good portions for the price. The place is a bit small, but the staff was friendly and they were super busy, which is always a good sign. There's also a paletería attached, and yes... we definitely got dessert too. read more

I am never disappointed when I order their delicious Menudo. I know that they have a number of top shelf quality menu items, but I always just order Menudo. Other prominent restaurants chopped up the ponza smaller and I quit going there. The staff there is very friendly and helpful at Las Tapatias. read more

Friendly service, tasty food. We had the chicken tamale (recommended!), chili relleno, a relleno burrito, crispy tacos with shrimp and a special sauce (can't find this on the online menu in order to provide the exact name). All the food was flavorful and good. We have firmly decided to order a dozen tamales in the near future. (Needs a day or two notice. Great deal!) Sound system could be upgraded. The atmosphere at lunch was busy and animated. The patio has a couple of palm trees and some bushes to visually separate it from parking lot and was pretty full even at hot noon day. I had coffee ice cream after and it was very reasonably priced and good, although soft. (Fine with me but we have friend who must have hard frozen!) I noticed an emphasis on drinks, with fresh juices being popular with patrons. No soda fountain but a variety of bottles and cans available in refrigerator. (We had water.) read more

Best burrito I've had in a long time! I saw someone else get menudo and that looked bomb too! The salsas are all crazy good. I'll definitely be back. read more

I had the ceviche and it was delicious. The staff is very welcoming. I will definitely go go there again.

Hot Cheeto burrito was good, kinda small though. The tortilla was also over cooked which was a little disappointing. But the inside was portioned good. Not too much filler stuff but just the right amount read more

This place was recommended for us to try because it was dubbed the "best Mexican restaurant in town" and actually- it's pretty good! Definitely worth it! You order your food first and if you decide to dine in, you also get chips and salsa. They have a huge menu! Breakfast, soups, combination plates, etc. so many different options.! You can also grab your own hot salsas that are prepped for you on the side.. and on the tables, they have different options for you too. Just to add (because this made a huge impression on our friends; their chili oil) their home made chili oil; it's really good! The service was great! It has a family owned feel to it and everyone was very open to help. if you have questions about the menu or the food options, they were more than willing to help, in-addition to giving you their opinion on what would taste better. The portions are big! We also tried their cucumber water drink (our first time trying it) was delicious. It's given to you in a huge mug! All-in-all, definitely worth it. This place was delicious! read more

I ordered a Supreme Burrito with pastor.. It was missing guacamole and sour cream which is disappointing because I paid more for that but it was still really yummy. Their sauces are really good too especially the habanero one! read more

Las Tapatias - Supreme Burrito (missing guacamole and sour cream) - Mexican Near Me - Chico, California

Best chilaquiles!! Get the green sauce with over-easy eggs. You'll thank me later! I was honestly so surprised how good they were the first time I had them. Their salsa bar is a little on the small side, but it does have some solid choices nonetheless. The staff has always been nice and helpful. And the restaurant and bathroom is kept reasonably clean and in good shape. I've only come here during brunch/lunch hours during the weekday and it's never been busy. I also like how they have booths as well as tables. I have tried their horchata as well, but it was just average. Again, stick with the green chilaquiles and you'll be good. read more

I came in 5 minutes before they closed, jerk move on my part but I had just gotten off of work & was starving & craving a California burrito. They were super nice & let me order, and the food was amazing. Pastor was so juicy & well seasoned. The French fries still had some good crisp texture but the burrito was still well dressed w salsas. It was amazing, and not just because I was starving. Absolutely fire. read more

It seems like this place has really gone downhill. We ordered through DoorDash, and I went inside to pick up the food, but they couldn't find the order. It was under my girlfriend's name, but they kept mishearing it, even after I spelled it out for them. They just looked at me, confused, and eventually claimed someone else had already picked up the order--as if that resolved anything. Frustrated, I had to send in my girlfriend to sort it out. Once she explained it was her money on the line, they suddenly got it together and handed us the food. The employee we dealt with was incredibly indifferent throughout the whole process, like they didn't care whether we got our order or lost our money. When we finally got the food, it was thrown together sloppily, loaded with onions, and didn't feel worth the hassle. Also, the guy who came out of the kitchen called me a "torta" which I don't really mind because I am a big guy. Still kinda adds on to the indifferent feeling. This place needs to step up its customer service and quality. Very disappointing experience. read more

I was in town to go visit a customer along with my Manager. We found this restaurant on Yelp and with the many 5 Star ratings, decided to try the food for lunch. Nice and clean restaurant and we really enjoyed the Mexican music being played. There was a condiment station with lots of different sauce flavors. There was even jalapeños and onions. This is a nice touch. My lunch was very good. Very tasty and delicious. I booked marked them for a future visit. read more

Amazing food and drinks. So fabulous. We drive all the way in town for take out. Their carne asada is tender and juicy. I love their Pina agua fresca. So refreshing. Tastes like a ripe pineapple. read more

Been here twice now and it's been amazing both times. Everything is delicious. Fast service. Great prices. The birria tacos are amazing and we will definitely be a repeat customer. One of the best Mexican spots in chico!! read more

Breakfast burritos are always amazing! We get chorizo or bacon, with egg and potato. They always taste fresh and are full of the good stuff, not just filler. 10/10 for speed too. read more

Las Tapatias - Chorizo breakfast burrito - Mexican Near Me - Chico, California

Service was nice, the girl behind the counter was helpful in figuring out what to eat. I had the chicken flautas. I enjoyed the level of Crispness to the tortillas. The hubby had pork nachos and a michelada with Corona. I wasn't too pleased with the nachos. They used nacho cheese that looked like the kind you get from a dispenser at a gas station. The michelada was average, it "got the job done." read more

Best tacos and burritos in Chico, IMO. People there are very nice. Good salsa bar from Mild to very hot.

After stepping on a crack pipe in the parking lot, I should have taken it as a sign of the experience to come. In all fairness, I do live near the southern border and in a place known for great Mexican food, BUT.... this was SO bad! Where did all the positive reviews come from? Bland, flavorless, way under-seasoned everything; chips, salsa, nachos, watered-down beans, and a chimichanga. The beans were luke-warm soup with cold cheese on top. The rice was flavorless, but cooked correctly. I also have a feeling the health department would be none too pleased if they popped in for a surprise visit. Open jars on the tables sported crusty, old product and spoons were petrified to their contents. Half- eaten cake in their sales fridge, uncovered and open to curious little fingers looking for a swipe of frosting. We took a few bites of our food and left. The Carne Asada (recommended by the person behind the counter) resembled Alpo and was overpowered by a lime-based marinade. Not the right texture or flavor at all, unless you hate beef. Positives? The plate looked pretty when it was presented; it at least looked appetizing. A ruse. I just can't believe this is one of the highest-rated Mexican restaurants in the area. I'd rather "make a run for the border" and I don't usually eat fast food. read more

Excellent service and delicious food ...I highly recommend it , you want something delicious go there

Best fish tacos I have had, delicious cooked tortillas, rice and beans were seasoned amazing. VERY good food. That aside, I received a to-go order and when I got home I noticed an item was wrong, I took it back. I worry people will be annoyed when returning or remaking items, but the cook came out and personally apologized, offered a drink on the house. Amazing service, Amazing food, Awesome cooks. read more

Las Tapatias - Fish Taco Plate - Mexican Near Me - Chico, California

My girlfriend kindly offered to pick up some thing for me when I didn't feel like cooking myself. I wanted to try some pesole (pezole) and was pleasantly surprised with her find. I like more broth and radish as a garnish but otherwise happily enjoyed eating the entire serving over a couple helpings and a few hours. The garnish included, consisted of onions, cilantro, cabbage and lime. It was hot, tasty, good portions of pork and hominy. Sadly, the chips and tostada were overcooked, hard and not enjoyable. I look forward to trying it in house next time. read more

I ordered the tacos dorados de asada and a pepino limón agua fresca. The drink was perfect, not too sweet and the food was pretty good, variety of salsas to choose from which is a plus. Quick service and friendly staff. Will definitely come back and try something new. read more

The Jamaica was on point!! HOWEVER, the food not so much.. Enchilada sauce was horrible and the salsas were watery. The presentation was there but the food lacked flavor. Maybe I'm just a spoiled with my Mexican food since I'm from OC and live 2 hours from the border read more

4.5 stars but rounding up for one of the best supreme burritos I've had in a while!! Las Tapatias is located on the side of a plaza, tucked away in the corner. Make sure to follow your GPS directions. They weren't busy when I stopped by at 3:30pm on a Sunday, and it took less than 10 minutes for my order to be prepared. They have a salsa bar with 5 different options (the orange was my favorite, then the chunkier red salsa, then the green), as well as pickled jalapenos, radish slices, and lime pieces. I ended up trying: -Carne Asada Supreme Burrito ($8.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=TONUWZPk7z-z6O62dCrR-Q&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): SO GOOD!! The carne asada was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. I got my burrito without beans so it was on the smaller side, but I liked the lettuce to give the burrito some freshness. It could have used more sour cream and guacamole, but this is still one of the best burritos I've had recently. Highly recommended! -Al Pastor Taco (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qzTGR2YsPkO_NSN6LzvTsw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): The al pastor had good flavor, but was a little on the dry side. However, I was too full to eat it on the first day, and it could have dried out a bit in the microwave. Their al pastro definitely had some heat to it, so don't order this if you don't like spicy! The corn tortilla was very fresh though, and soft. The staff here seem really nice and friendly. There are a few tables (and one large one) if you want to dine in, and they also have a couple of TV's to watch the games on. I would definitely come back here for more burritos and tacos! Parking was super easy since this plaza has plenty of parking spots available. read more

This place was yummy! I like their new expanded outdoor patio. Food came out in a timely fashion and was piping hot. Little bit disappointed by the portions of the chicken quesadilla, it looked like it had some pieces missing and was enough to feed one hungry adult. The size for the large horchata was impressive and I liked the strawberries and cinnamon they put on top. read more

Fantastic authentic Mexican cuisine and friendly staff. Large portions, I could barely eat half of my chicken enchiladas plate!

Visited chico last weekend and my mom was craving Mexican food. We stopped by here after reading reviews. Food was good, came out quickly and was hot. Great flavors. Happy with our experience. Would come back. read more

I think this is a new place that opened recently? (within the year?) but definitely one of the better Mexican places in Chico. Service: The service here is always friendly. Every time I've come they have a smile on their face and patience for me as I attempt to decide on one item off their menu, but ulitmately getting a few different things because everything looks so good! My favorite items: Flautas - nice and crispy, but a little flavorless without the sauces/toppings. California fries - I love all the toppings and add-ons to it, but I wish they would make the fries a little crispier. Tacos - One of my favorite things here. Can't go wrong with it! Horchata - Got have this to wash down everything! Overall: I would definitely recommend this place! read more

I love that this is right up the road from us. It's fast, convenient and so tasty! We have 5 Mexican restaurants in a 5 block radius but this one read more

This is my favorite taco spot and possibly my favorite tacos ever...I order the asada tacos quite often and they're just so good that I had to come on here and say something about it. The salsa bar is great and it's also really cute inside and out on the patio in the evening with all the lights! read more

I was looking for a late lunch and a friend recommended this place. I am SO glad I listened to her and gave it a try. The location has is tucked back in the little shopping center but I was told it was right next to Boot Barn and that was a perfect landmark to find this establishment. I ordered Chicken Nachos as an appetizer and a Chorizo Chimichanga. My friend had a little indecisiveness and asked the woman at the register what she would get if she were to order. She recommended a plate and we sat down. Horchata was delicious but I'm biased because that's my favorite drink no matter what. The food was hot and ready in no time. There are a handful of resturants like this one but not alot that I would consider going back to. This is one that I want to come back to and it hasn't even been a week. THANK YOU GUYS! LUNCH WAS DELICIOUS!!!! read more

This place is all right, kind of hit and miss. The burrito is pretty good, but the chimichanga is like some kind of mutant taco salad hybrid and it's small. Horchata is dope here. Probably will never eat the fish burrito because farmed tilapia is one of the dirtiest of all fishes. The prices are good, but I would be happy to pay an extra dollar or two for more consistent quality. read more
