La Familia Restaurant

Ben Gifford

Reasonably priced, super authentic, incredibly fast, ridiculously nice, absolutely delicious. All of the meat choices have different flavor and texture profiles, so you can get the same dish in a huge variety of ways if you normally get carne asada on your burrito and just aren't feeling it that day The beans, rice, meat, and everything is all seasoned perfectly and all compliment each other very nicely. There's spice, but it has a reasonable spectrum of heat that will satisfy the wide variety of heat tolerances people have. And the salsa, especially the red spicy salsa which is my favorite, is some of the best homemade salsa I've had from anywhere, restaurant or home cooks. They have it in pico de gallo style for mild, and a smooth blend for spicy. The salsa is the shining star that solidifies this restaurant as one of the best Mexican joints I've eaten at period. 11/10, 5/7, 20/20, 3 thumbs up, and a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. If you like authentic Mexican style food and live in chico, you're doing yourself a disservice to not try this restaurant at least once.

This has been my go-to favorite Mexican eatery in Chico for more than twenty years. The food is delicious and the owners involve themselves in local schools and events: they really feel like a part of the community

One of my favorite restaurants to go to in the Chico area as their food never disappoints. From their food choices such as California Fries to the Deluxe Super Burrito, everything is really good. I love Mexican food and is a place you would have to try if you ever go to Chico. The vibe is really friendly and free flowing too so it's not that rowdy. It can also be a place for multiple occasions such as bringing family or friends. The best burritos in town in my opinion!
