La Comida

Don't think I'll be going here anymore. Went to lunch today and not a single employee had on a mask, people are all on top of each other with nobody asking them to do otherwise, the owner is just walking through the dining room with no mask and chatting up tables like it's business as usual, and the busboys clear dishes from tables then just wipe it down with a damp towel. No cleaner or anything. I'm honestly surprised the health department allows them to stay open right now. Used to be one of my favorite places in town. The food is obviously microwaved but still tastes good and has good portions for the price. Just wish they cared enough to keep the clean/safety protocols in place. This spot is an outbreak waiting to happen. 🤷

I have been dining at La Comida for the past 40 years. The one thing you can always count on is consistency. The service is quick, the food is always good and the chips & salsa is just a added bonus. I appreciate that you truly get your money's worth.
La Comida is a Chico landmark.

Good mexican food that's not really expensive. The cashier was patient while the kids decided what they wanted. The atmosphere was relaxed which I really appreciate. They have good ranch too, not the gross stuff. I'm looking forward to going back.

Regular Faire which hasn't changed their menu ..if ever. Still tasty, though. No ambiance, and the rug looks like it belongs in a storage unit...this alone won't bring me back. Sorry

Free chips and salsa were probably the best part. I've been here twice now only to wait in a line that's out the door to order food that's seems rushed and taste ok. The girl who took our order was nice along with the bus boys. I wish they had a little more of a selection than chicken or ground beef. I mean I'd pay for some steak. Also does everything have to be drowned in red sauce.

I've been coming here for over 30 years and the food is still as great as it ever was!

Love that they are still here, we only get to go about once a year when we visit family and they are always on the list to stop at. Everything is still the same, great food even better prices!!!

I wish I could give this place more stars. The staff is great, and it it has a very family friendly vibe. But the food is just bland. It's semi-fast food. Compared to places like Taco Bell it is clearly superior. Compared to sit-down restaurants it is rather inferior. Bottom line: while I want to like the place, I just don't crave the food. My brain might agree to go there, but my stomach won't suggest it.

This was a favorite and first Mexican place for my husband as a child. He still loves the fresh salsa and his Tostada was HUGE! My chicken taco wasn't very good only in that the chicken was just cooked and I tasted no seasoning. The beef on his tostada was great though so next time I'll get beef.

If you want to eat the least authentic mex food in chico, come here. Its a staple for the local boomers, cops, and other conservatives, so not a good crowd either... Try literally anywhere else in town, how this makes money going forward blows my mind, makes tex mex look good.
