At the register, I saw a suggested tipping option, which caught me off guard so I ended up adding a custom tip. When my order arrived, the cold tostada was served with warm beans and rice. Usually, the tostada is packed in box #2 to prevent the lettuce from getting warm and wilty, but this time it wasn't done that way. I'm still undecided on whether this mistake is significant; I suppose I could always request my order to be packaged differently in the future.

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-pricedAmericanized 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 thetaco salad or tostada with meat and beans. It is all you can eat, especially when you add in all the free chips and salsa. Theawesome chips and salsa haven't changed in 50 years. This feature alone puts La Comida into an upper bracket for affordableMexican treats. No mariachi bands.

I've introduced a lot of friends and family to La Comida, and they've all become just as hooked on their food and chips and salsa as I am. Even though we moved away for several years, every time we visited, we made sure to grab a bucket of chips and a gallon of salsa to take home, and we often had dinner there too. I absolutely adore this place!!!

It was our lunch destination after church most Sundays and definitely the.only perk about that day. My Nana enjoyed a friendship with Mr.Pavis the founder of this establishment. Now La Comida became the place to go during our high school broke as a joke yearsand sometimes a friend would be lucky enough to be hired . When closing the restaurant, sometimes we 'd stay,loiter around help out???? and eventually someone would sing into the microphone. Yes, there 's memories that have nothing to do withreviewing the food Paradise Senior High class of 1989 . 2022- finally, as I 've recently gone in for some comfort food, Iwas reminded that there 's been a change of ownership and other things as well. The point of sale had a suggestion tip valuewhich I added my own custom tip, in surprise. Also, the cold tostada I ordered was paired with warm beans and rice. Typicallythis is in box #2 so that my lettuce doesn 't get warm, wilty. I haven 't decided if this error matters. I can always correct itby requesting my order be boxed differently.

I've introduced many friends and family members to La Comida who then have become just as addicted to their food and their chips andsalsa as I am. We moved away for several years, however, every visit we had to at least get a bucket of chips and a gallon ofsalsa to take home with us, usually we had to have dinner there as well. Love, love, love them!!!
