Nice local restaurant with a good choice of Mexican food. Attentive staff and tasty preparations. Closes early (seven pm) most evenings so check the website for times if you are passing through Willows
Wow. This time, enthusiastic Yelp reviews led me right. This is a Mexican restaurant with table service, not a taqueria with ordering at the counter, but the decor is plain and simple. So is the menu, which is fairly brief and basic. I ordered a combo plate, which was the standard Mexican restaurant combo plate with rice, beans, and a little salad. So far, so ordinary, but the food was just fantastically good, all of it, starting with the addictively tasty salsa which came with the chips (slightly stale, the only negative factor). Some of the best refried beans, in particular, that I've had. The combo I ordered had a beef taco and a tamale (which was chicken), both also really good. I was so impressed that I came back on my next drive through the area and had one of the several shrimp entrees. Not as spectacular as the combo, it was still really good. The shrimp was in a garlic-onion sauce which was full of well-cooked pieces of both. The shrimp were thoroughly cooked.
The service and food were excellent at a very reasonable price. I had the Chile verde super burrito while my wife had the chorizo breakfast burrito.
