La Taqueria Méxican — Restaurant in Redding

So I have eaten here twice, liked it had three different ethnic options to choose from In one spot. I did the drive thru both times so I cannot attest to how clean it is inside,at least in the lobby xyz...should probably go on next time to scope it if I do go another time....now, I don't like giving negative reviews unless one is needed so I guess it's not a negative review I'm leaving here jus "food for thought" lol pun intended..anyway idk if coincidence or what but eating out these days isn't jus a cost thing but a risk thing more than ever...I feel a lot of places the individuals working are doing so with less n less cares on quality across the board. Besides other risks these days bring an all time high our dude of our food quality and it being practically poisoned and highly pumped full of toxins....preparation xyz is a standard that should not be compromised...good handling, storage, temps , times xyz....so I ordered multiple items actually from all 3 different ethnic options..pricing was ok portions were HUGE..presentation was good and...food was good...amazing? No but it was tasty. So after the first visit I got stomach problems...lasted Abt a week..did not feel good and jus not a good time...it passed, I did not get full blown food poisoning but I feel something came about from my meal that was not pleasant and it was within the hour if eating it came about. Fast forward about 3 weeks or so and hubby requested a quick meal from here at which I grimaced but thought, mayb it was something else...so I gave it another try...food was tasty..again same day not long after I was again having the same ailments as before...and about 4 days or so of it....SO idk if I realli wanna go bk..I told my husband I was pretty sure I did not wanna get food from there again bcuz to much of a coincidence I got the same ailments after each visit. Ofc the best food is typically the food one prepared at home but sometimes it's nice to take a night off or grab something easy on a realli busy day and not feel like garbage after....the risks of eating out🤷🏻‍♀️. So take it as you will..a cautionary tale and do try it out cuz it's not bad...

I have eaten from the "Mexican" side of the menu twice and from the "Chinese" side once. All three meals failed to impress. The Crispy Supreme Tacos (I think that is what they were called) were skinny, the ground beef was bland, and cheese was some sort shredded yellow blend instead of a true Mexican white variety like Queso Oaxaca. The other items that I tried were also bland, greasy, and were among the worst examples of Americanized ethnic food that I have run into.

The drive-through service was fine but both times I ordered something to eat for inside they took a real long time get my order taken and they always seem to mess it up. The restaurant seemed clean but uninspired. Don't we already have enough mediocre, chain-style restaurants like Taco Bell and Panda Express? Do we really need...

I got a bean burrito. Super bland and the hot sauce they gave me was absolutely terrible, this sort of fluffy sauce. I couldn't see any of the food. They said they'd give me chips and they didn't. Boyfriend's steak burrito was lackluster. I wanted to like it as it's near my childhood home. The cheese quesedilla was $8 or something like that, but they said it didn't come with any sides at all but the for $9.99 or so you could get the super with meat and all of these sides. The vegetarian menu was more expensive than the meat menu for the same items. I...
