The food is great one of the best meat enchiladas I've had in this state. I'll be nice.

Ran in here to get a quick bite after driving 10 hours and still having 5 hours to go , my food was surprisingly good . I was skeptical because of the negative reviews but I really enjoyed my burrito and the service . I paid roughly 18$ for my burrito and soda and think that's fair . Would eat here again . read more

Place is very dirty and look like it is out of business. Food was very bland. Service was ok! I hope they can get better. read more

Macias El Michoacano - Beef burrito - Mexican Near Me - Cottonwood, California

Been going here since I was a teenager.. best mexican food for low price!! Best fish tacos and nachos!!! Excellent food.

Best Chile Reanos since my grandma made them. The food is amazing. The lady that runs the counter is the nicest lady ever. she always remembers my name. She even remembers my regular order. This place is seriously the bomb.com. It's fast but fresh and super convenient here in Cottonwood. You can call and place an order and go pick it up and it's always ready by the time you get there. Love, love love this amazing Mexican food place off Main Street in Cottonwood. read more

Be open this place was great wonderful owners but unfortunately they are not in business anymore.

Well...so first, this is NOT a tourist destination. If you are driving through and want kind of bland Mexican to go, good stop. (Note I sometimes want bland so worked for me.) But that is it. Looks like run by grandma and grandson. Sweet people working their butts off to serve. Adjacent to an RV park that looks lived in - not a travel stop. I do not recommend eating in unless you have broken down nearby. They really need help to clean up. read more

I am super picky about Mexican Food. This is some of the absolute best north of Bakersfield, CA. The prices are so reasonable it will blow your mind. It is a family run restaurant, so it might take awhile to get your food. I guarantee it is well worth the wait. read more

Food is always good . Service is great , ambience is ok . They also sell beer . Today I'm having coffee . Home made tortilla .

My husband and I stopped for her for lunch today. Staff was friendly, service was quick and food was tasty. Simple small place but very comfortable. Worth the stop, we will be back! read more

RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE FOR MEDIOCRE LATIN FOOD . No AC and service isn't good enough for that amount of money . I'm from the Bay Area and would never recommend this place . read more

The food was great as was the service. We ordered over the phone kind of late but they were very accommodating

Hype wasn't all that about this place . Services was excellent. But the meat was very salty. Not a second time for me soon.

Tasty and fairly authentic street tacos and the help is usually quick and friendly. My only beef is the cost--it's a bit pricey. (I'm talkin $34 for 8 tacos and no sides or chips with that order) read more

The service was great, and so were the beans but that was about it for the "good." We felt the food was mediocre at best and quite lackluster. The prices seemed steep for the amount of food and the quality of food we received. Also, if you come when it's crowded be prepared to wait for a veryyyyy long time as there are only a handful of seats in the restaurant. The shrimp my husband and I both ordered was rubbery and over cooked, salsa was under seasoned while the guacamole was overly salted. And my father who was there received the wrong item (something he didn't order) and was told to deal with it, he ended up eating it because he didn't want to wait again through already super slow service for another meal to be cooked. Overall, I would not go back a second time read more

Great Mexican home made food made right there in the restaurant. Owner and Staff are very friendly. Great atmosphere with great prices. Support your local business. read more

Our favorite little Mexican food joint, we always get the vegetarian supreme burrito without sour cream or cheese for a vegan option which fills us up along with chips and salsa. Service is always very fast and very friendly, always a good experience. read more

Extra friendly, delicious dinners, they have authentic Mexican food from Lengua and tripas to Chile relleno and carnitas. Can't go wrong.

Good not great but ok food. Just my opinion They have Combo Plates Carne Asada BurritoCheese Enchilada read more

My-oh-my, the chips and salsa were perfect; I wish that I could munch on them as I wrote this review. If they bottled the salsa I would have taken several bottles home, and if I lived near by I would stop often just for the chips and salsa. I ordered a chili relleno and a taco. For me the batter was too thick on the chili, I had to push a lot of it aside, the chili itself was fine. The taco was a bit bland. read more

Macias El Michoacano - the exterior of the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Cottonwood, California

It is a hole in the wall place but it has amazing food. It's the perfect small town place. It's right next to the auction yard so you will smell cows the second you open your car door, but it's totally what I have been missing living in the big city for the past couple years! The restaurant is clean and it has an A rating, so I definitely recommend it. Whether you are a local or just passing through. You can NOT find better nachos! ^___^ read more

Everything here mini mini times great food always consistent just need to make sure they're open

Great place, great food. Service is awesome very nice family. We love to go there. Best tamale price per dozen! read more

Macias El Michoacano - Caldo de Cameron - Mexican Near Me - Cottonwood, California

I live about two blocks from this place and they used to have the absolute best chicken chimichangas but it seems lately the closer we get to the end of the month the greasier and nasty or their food gets I don't like buying chimichangas or burritos from them anywhere after the middle of the month because I don't think they change their fryer grease that often like I said they're okay at the beginning of the month but that's it okay is all they're getting. when I want to eat good Mexican food I go to la Cabana in Redding California read more

Super affordable authentic Mexican food. The sweetest family runs the place and they KNOW HOW to make salsa. Hand me a straw because this stuff is unreal. (They even sell it if you want to take it home!) They make their chips in house as well. I started off simple with some rolled chicken tacos with guac, beans and rice. Some of the other reviewers were right about the beans: they don't use a lot of salt so they aren't as full flavor as other places--nothin' a little hot sauce can't fix. I enjoyed the rice. Next time, I'd like to order the enchiladas to try out their sauce. I was jazzed to see that they serve breakfast. We will definitely be back for some chilaquiles! I don't know of any other Mexican restaurants open for breakfast and I haven't had chilaquiles since I was last in Mexico. This place is not about the decor (like other reviewers were ripping apart), it's all about the yummy food, the great prices, and the kind family who runs it. read more

The menudo is so delicious with a generous amount of meat. Home made tortillas and all the fixings. It's a must try. Huecos Rancheros are also good. read more

Great spot off highway 5... if you sneeze you'll miss it- those are always the best places. Owner is very lovely and sweet. I ordered the vegetable supreme burrito and it was delicious! Flavors were on point! read more

I gave him three stars because their burritos and their deep fried chimichangas are damn decent but I'm only giving it three stars because if you wanted to go order they never ever ever ever answer their phone when it comes to the phone they are the laziest people I've ever met in my life inside is pretty warm and the seats are uncomfortable but as far as getting it to go order the food is okay but it's nothing worth writing home to mother about read more

We get takeout now due to Covid , the best authentic Mexican food I've had in the area . I have a bi of Street Cred i've been visiting Mexico since the 1960 s even Oaxaca in 2006. All food is fresh cooked and mega delicious. One can't go wrong with their food. read more

My husband ordered the chile relleno and I ordered a cheese and chicken enchilada. The food took awhile to come out and my cheese enchilada wasn't exactly warm. The chips were fresh, the beans were fine, but the rice was bland. The prices were fair and server was friendly too, but I can only give two stars because the place could have been cleaner. There was a lot of clutter and the window sills and salt and pepper shakers were dirty. I sat there fantasizing about how I would overhaul the place to give it a fresher and cleaner look. read more

Not on the menu, but this place has phenomenal 'street tacos', whether you are in the area or just driving by, stop by, it's worth a taste. The service was hospitable and accommodating. We highly recommend and would stop by again! read more

If you are looking for a complete Mexican Dinner or Lunch for 5-8 dollars look no further. This is a real FAMILY run business. Very sweet hospitable family. Genuine homemade food. Kid friendly. Big TV set, and friendly owners who come out and chat when things are slow. Yes the seats need updating, but if you are you hungry for real Mexican food look no further. The wife and I really love Mamas Chili Rellenos. If you are looking for slick anglo corporate food at twice the price....I.E. Chevy's.. keep on driving... 15 miles north to Redding. :) Up the street is the Bobby Jones Rodeo arena, the Cattle auction, and Vics. Lots of Rodeo, ranching, and cattle business going on nearby. read more

First time we went it was on Cinco De Mayo and it was good. Yesterday we ordered the same as the first time and it was not good. Salsa tasted like spaghetti sauce and the ground beef was greasy and dripped all over. Same for my husbands chimmichunga. read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant. Family atmosphere, fast & friendly service, great food always!! Highly recommend

While I didn't eat there, I definitely won't after their behavior yesterday. A small bus with kids from out of town broke down on the freeway and was pushed off the freeway by CHP. The CHP advised the staff that there was a restaurant close by if the kids had to use the bathroom while waiting for another bus that could accommodate them, since it was the only place open on such a small area. The employee working at the time admitted that the owner told the employees not to let the kids use the bathroom because it was for customer use only. The employee felt bad for the kids and did allow the kids to use the bathroom, but stated they were loud and so asked to come inside in small groups only. I can guarantee you my family will not be eating there after the owner could be so unforgiving when it come to kids stranded on the side of the road! read more

This place is an amazing find: 2 tamales for $5, a large burrito filled with chile verde or chile colorado, beans and rice for $5 and chips that rival Chevy's served with salsa with great texture and just enough heat. The burritos can be upgraded for $1 to a supreme burrito(guacamole + sour cream) or for $1.79 to a wet burrito. The downsides are the place could get too hot/cold(we have only experienced the latter so far) and it does have a dive vibe going on(ie mismatched tables), but I can overlook that and if you love authentic Mexican food where it is seasoned correctly(beans not too salty to compensate for the well-salted meat) I think you should too at least once. read more

Drive by the RV park and you might miss it. But it's great home-cooked-style Mexican food.

Love the consistency of the food, margaritas, the family atmosphere and the staff. The place is clean and the prices are very high. Great place to take a family read more

It was a Sunday night, I was traveling and hungry for something nutritious. This was a short walk down the road from the Traveler's Motel, and was recommended by the manager there. I thought that I had had my fill of Mexican food a few nights earlier (delicious home made enchiladas, but they were like lead in my guts.) Still, when i walked into Macias, I would check out the menu. The restaurant had 2 families sitting in the booths, settled in and happily eating. You could look right into the kitchen from the counter where you order food. There were a few hispanic fellows waiting for a to-go order, bantering with the cook staff in espanol. I took this as a good sign. The interior of the dining room itself felt a bit greasy, like it could use an entire wash-down on the inside, but that wasn't going to deter me from ordering if something on the menu looked good. When I go for Mexican I usually like a carne asada burrito, and there are usually leftovers to take home with me, but I was looking for something maybe lighter and more vegetable-y. I ordered the shrimp soup. The waitress brought me some chips and salsa which alone is worth a rave! FRESH home made salsa! I ate every drop. The soup was a long wait, it felt like forever, but my patience was rewarded! I got a huge delicious bowl of spicy broth filled with shrimp and veggies. It took me awhile to finish it. I declined the tortillas and there was no room for desert. It kept me full and satisfied all night. oh, and it was inexpensive! read more
