El Guayacan Méxican - Chico

OMG!!! The best chili verde dinner in Chico. Huge portions...I made three meals out of one plate. But the service...top star...excellent. The wonderful older lady server was just so kind and on top of her game. I will recommend this to everyone and be back for more.....muy buen!!

Went for a date night with the wife on a Friday. Always heard of this restaurant, but have never been...a terrible shame on our part. Located in the Almond Orchard on Pillsbury Rd, if you drive in you'll pass it by without knowing it's there. Once inside, it's a very busy establishment with a quick and attentive staff. Chips and salsa within 1 minutes of sitting down, drinks within 2 minutes. The menu is extensive and fairly cheap, but more expensive than others. I ordered the #5 special to try a bevy of items...1 Tamale, 1 Enchilada, and 1 Taco (all chicken), refried beans and rice. My wife got the Super Fajitas (beef, chicken, and shrimp), with the usual veggies...onions, peppers, and mushrooms in a thick, sweet sauce/gravy, which was different and extremely tasty, and Her sides came on a separate plate for easy building. Everything had a distinct flavor, with nothing dry or overcooked. The veggies on both plates were crisp, not soggy. The beans were perfect, with lots of cheese. One downfall...the rice was bland, and only had taste when paired with a spoon of salsa. Overall, a wonderful dinner place...definitely worth another date.

The best Mexican food I've ever taken from AZ! I eat my way through the menu, was here 7 times now and everything is delicious!!! The service is also impeccable! You have to dip the beans! I dance in my seat.

That was a great discovery of the well! We enjoyed great food and excellent service. We were there on several occupants and at different meals, before this review, and I can say that they match food and service quality. It is a beautiful open space restaurant, with indoor and outdoor seating, its service is friendly and attentive and the food is authentic and tasteful. You have an extensive menu for your palate. Their portions are generous and we loved that they serve their hot and mild salsas, at the same time, with the freshly made chips. Your salsa is chuncky and full of taste! You have a wide selection of Mexican soft drinks and a full bar for mixed drinks with a wide selection of designs and filled beers to complement your meal. We are very pleased that we have added them to our regular food rotation. Very recommended!

This is the first time I was here and set me up for dinner. The waiting staff was great, Nachos were huge and ingenious, and value was on point. I will recommend this place again and again!
