Tres Marias Restaurant

In a hole in the wall, located at the beginning of Park Ave, you have Tres Maria's. Date night prove to be a bust with other restaurants, so my wife and I stopped here. SO GLAD we did. It's a cozy establishment, with about 10 tables total, PERFECT for a date night restaurant. Seating was immediate, and the complimentary chips and salsa arriving less than 2 minutes after. Make no mistakes, this is a more upscale restaurant that serves outstanding food. I chose the Birria, while my wife chose the Carnitas. To say the food was delicious is an understatement. This was plated and served with care and love. Everything was seasoned and served flawlessly. Even the beans and rice were flavored to perfection, with just the right amount of flavor to impress any critic. After dinner, we ordered the Flan for dessert and were more impressed with that. The cooks here are authentic and NO JOKE. I personally walked to the back and tipped the cooks for their care and work. This is a MUST for any lover of Mexican food and a better establishment than 90% of what's in Chico.

Delicious food, with the most incredible flavor. Everything I tasted was amazing. I ordered the Poblano Relleno (it's gluten free) and loved every bite of it. Maria was delightful and the food came quickly. I'll definitely be back again soon!

FANTASTIC Mexican food in Chico. Great flavors. Not heavy and greasy. And the service was perfect, too. Felt like I was being doted on by someone’s grandmother. I’ll be back for sure!

This place is such a great addition to Chico. If you’re looking for a standard greasy Mexican spot, this is not it. They make flavorful and thoughtful dishes. The tres marias mole is so good and goes well with warm tortillas. It’s a little spicy and not straight from a can as you’d find in other places. We tried the flautas, burrito with birria and red sauce - both so good. The quesa birria taco was delicious and the fish tacos were fresh with yummy salsas. The young man working the front of house was alone and didn’t skip a beat. He was also very polite and even thanked us for his tip. Parking is tight so good not to take multiple vehicles if you can plan with a group! This place is very clean and the owners deserve the support!

We had the tres Maria's enchiladas, birria and kids carne asada taco. The enchiladas and birria were pretty good, the kids taco just ok. Also ordered the chips and guacamole and it was really good guac. A little pricey, but not too bad. A decent place to try.
