Headed back to our home in NM and Googled Mexican food in CA, Blythe to be exact, liked the reviews and weren't disappointed at all, menudo was great tacos melted in my mouth and the shrimp cocktail was better than the ones we had on a ship cruise to Mexico, will definitely stop again when in the area. Prices are a little steep but well worth it
So delish!!! We got carne asada burrito, cones asada tacos, fish taco, la Paloma burger, and the nachos supreme that had carne asada and everything on it. Everything was so good but the best was the nacho!! Next level delicious. Next time we will get two orders of the nachos to feed my huge family of 10. Highly recommended!!
Recommended by a friend, we stopped here for a quick bite. I ordered the 2 taco plate with beans and rice. Delicious. Loved the shredded beef, very good flavor. Needed more grated cheese. Chicken tacos were also very flavorful. It’s not shredded chicken but cubed chicken. Also the cheese enchilada. Loved the chips and salsa bar. 3 options for salsa. The 2 red choices were yummy. Didn’t try green. Indoor seating. Lots of room for more tables but I guess most people get to go! Knocked off a star for dirty bathroom with zero hand soap. Hoping the employees have soap for hand washing. I’d stop again!
The food it’s not too bad, I got sopes and we also got a plate of enchilada and tostada, we just didn’t think it would be just cheese and no meat, the shredded beef sole was really good and fulfilling. I will go back to something else. Their Jamaica was okay, not the best but pretty good.
Quick drive thru service and carne asada fries were delicious. Green and red hot sauce were both spicy but enjoyable. Will be in the rotation for us next time we drive thru Blythe.
This is my favorite Mexican eatery. It’s a drive through only place, but it makes really tasty tacos. I had a Cabeza plate (it’s not on the menu, but you can ask for a plate based on any of its protein offerings) and a pollo asado plate. The cabeza was a bit overcooked this time (maybe it sat in a warmer a bit too long), but still very tasty and the pollo was very good as well. The servings were quite large and the price was reasonable and the plate combos came with a large drink. There were so many Mexican eateries in Blyth and this our choice.
