Let me just start off by saying I LOVE Mexican food. Of course the more authentic the better, and this place is absolutely as authentic as it gets. I live right across the street from it, and I couldn’t be happier! I come in at least 3 times a week. Everything I’ve gotten has been so delicious. If you want really really good authentic Mexican food, you NEED to come here. You will be very happy you did. It’s definitely a gem.

Great chow, great help, acceptable facilities with a large, shaded patio. Counter service, Pepsi fountain with bottled beers. Unusual items but no cacti, not grasshoppers, or other exotic selections. I recommend the Zerape tacos, (your choice of meat) something close to the “puffy taco” of which I am so fond.
We’re committed to visiting every Mexican food place in & around Redding so this and the following reviews will be based on just one visit, where our usual standard is only reviewing after the third visit (because Redding is blessed with so very many Mexican food choices).
•Our standard for excellence is the late, lamented, La Cabaña. El Zarape is halfway to La Cabaña.

I spent the night in the city on my way back to So Cal. When I arrived I realized I had been there the last time, 7 years ago! I was so happy to go back because I remember it being delicious. It did not disappoint. I got the Zarape tacos and boy oh boy so I recommend! Its basically a quesa-birria taco. Yummmm! Everyone else loved their food. The burritos are a great size for the price. You get free chips and salsa and friendly faces. Definitely saving this place so I can INTENTIONALLY make my way there again when I’m in the area. 10 out of 10 recommend. Delicious food and the name isn’t lying – it has authentic flavors.

The last three times I was in there the prices that they charge are never the prices that are on the big board. Example, I order a chile relleno burrito supreme price is $12.49… I see on extra dollar on the register screen and asked and she said chile rellenos are $1 more but there was nothing on the board that said that.. additionally, after the total came and you don’t get a receipt it was $15. Taking tax into account, she got me for an extra $1.50 This is not the first time and I will not be back. Watch your bill when you go in. The food is excellent but charge us what you’re posting.

The restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside. However, the inside is spotless clean. The service is great and the food is outstanding!! The prices are average. This is a must go place. Very authentic Mexican food. Delicious.

I was the only one in the restaurant at dinner, on a Wednesday. That should have been the sign. Food was adequate at most. I was hungry and this place was close. Pricey $19 and change for two tacos and chips
