  Honestly, this place had some of the best salsa I have ever had! It was super good and had a kick to it but it wasn't too much spice!! Also, the Assad burrito was really great. Highly recommend! The staff is nice and you get your food quickly!

  The people are nice but I didn't like the food. Taco seasoning was just kind of off & pico de Gallo that came with it was 90% onions. Also, they charge extra for chips & salsa, I've never seen that at a sit down restaurant. Price was a little much for just edible tacos. Service is good but I was the only person there. Maybe someone else likes the seasoning or doesn't mind paying extra for chips but there are plenty of other choices in town for Mexican food that I'll be going to.

  Ordered takeout for a party of 10. Our meal was a taco/burrito bar which included chicken and beef for meat, large salad of lettuce and onions, rice, beans, 2 types of tortillas (corn and flour) along with pico de gallo and other salsas. Good food and decent service.
  
  Food: good! I appreciate the variety of meats and tortillas. The trays of meat felt a little on the low side. In terms of flavor it was ok. Basically, it was good for hungry people so we ate it. No amazing flavors or anything.
  
  Service: the lady who takes orders and rings up payment is super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Since I had a big order, she had someone in the kitchen help me by carrying the food to my car and loading. I don't think he really cared. I had a lot of salsa and just wet food in general. If I didn't repack the boxes, the food would have spilled during my drive and gotten food all over my car. But it was ended up ok.
  
  Location: it's a small hole in the wall with a steady stream of people. Some of the tables where full of dishes because people ate and left but no one removed the empty dishes. Parking is decent but the lot can get full.
  
  Not many choices in Oroville. If the guy who carried the food to my car didn't seem so uninterested, I would have given 4 stars.

  I just had a carne asada burrito minus beans and extra cheese. Very very disappointed. It was completely flavorless and had no salsa on it I couldn't even find salsa if I tried. There was so much rice it was inedible and I could not taste any meat nor could I hardly see any. And there was almost no cheese at all. I'm really disappointed. I feel really ripped off. They should have just asked me for $9 and I have had it it to them instead of having to get ripped off like this. Basically I paid $9 for a tortilla and some rice.
  
  In addition to the bad food, the tables were not bussed, and the dining area was absolutely filthy.  I struggled to find a spot that was clean.

  On a sunny day in May of 1975, I was sitting at Oro Dam Cafe, and the earthquake hit.  Over the years, the site has become La Costena De Acapulco, and I am afraid if I eat there again, there might be another earthquake.
  
  Gone from the strip mall are the flower shop, the jewelry shop at the West end of the building, the Bicycle Shop next door, and the Surplus store as the anchor tenant.
