La Comida

Not fancy, but quick and convenient for dine in or take out. Polite staff, fresh ingredients and legendary hot sauce dressing! Well trained staff, clean and sanitary environment. Ownership is present, available and active in delivering an enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend for an affordable family meal.

La Comida is a bonafide Chico treasure or is that a historical monument? After decades I feel I should know most of the people with gray hair I see here, but again too many decades to discern a high school alum.
La Comida is a low to mid-priced Americanized Mexican food establishment. Hard to tell anymore what is authentic. I know what is, and authentic is not in Chico, but that does not mean La Comida is out of the question. I have tried a few things on the menu, and always migrate back to the taco salad or tostada with meat and beans. It is all you can eat, especially when you add in all the free chips and salsa. The awesome chips and salsa haven't changed in 50 years. This feature alone puts La Comida into an upper bracket for affordable Mexican treats. No mariachi bands.

It has fast service, they give you big portions, can always find a table. All their food is really salty tasting to me. My boyfriend loves it and it's always busy. Maybe it's just me. It's also reasonable. I personally do not care for their food .

Simple and easy and reasonably priced Mexican food. Look you're not going to get straight out of Mexico City tacos but this place has been a staple for a while and serves quick, cheap, well tasting Mexican fare. Always my go-to.

Been coming here since I was a kid. It’s a quick reasonably priced Mexican-American style taqueria.. I’ve never had a bad meal here. They’ve been around forever so that should speak volumes.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food is cheap and huge portions! It is a relaxed environment. Its is order up front and seat yourself style. They call you up to get the food on a tray. The food was good. If you are looking for quick, cheap, and easy, this is your place. If you are looking for flavor, presentation, and environment, dont come here. It will fill the whole crew!

Damien is a treasure! His customer service was over the top. His smile greeted me, his patience while I ordered & made me feel like I was at a class act restaurant.
Thank you for a wonderful dinner Damien!
Sorry if I butchered your name:)

This is an insult to Mexican food, and the only reasoning I can gather for reviewers giving it the score that it has is because it's cheap and strangely nostalgic for them. The taco shells are just like the pre-made crunchy shells you buy from the store and the meat is like microwaved ground beef, topped with pre-chopped lettuce and pre-shredded cheese, and all other customers plates had that same type of food. Dry, flavorless, hearltess, cheap, and pre-bought. If you like this place, I couldn't trust that you actually enjoy Mexican food, just the idea of it. Service was ok, and everything came out to their own standard, but being cheap doesn't make it good, and neither does growing up with it. Go to Taco Bell instead because at least they have some inspiration behind their food.

I joke that I've eaten here here so much that I've put their kids thru college, I fondly remember the original owner bussing the tables and greeting the customers, what restaurant owner does that? Ridiculously awesome prices, great food all the chips and salsa you could eat, and lightning fast service, from the super burritos, fiesta salads, taco tuesday, and hands down the most recognizable hoodys (I got 3!) La Comida will always be my #1 hands down top favorite place to eat in Chico

Not really good Mexican food. Ordered Chili Verde burrito and some how it had ground beef in it and super salty. Salty like they dumped half the container of morton salt on it.The next day I had Montezuma's revenge. Sorry but just the facts ma'am, just the facts.
