  it was late sunday evening and i was traveling from petaluma back home to oregon. so i stopped in orland - at the orland inn - and la corona was recommended (among other choices) by the check in clerk.
  
  i was greeted and told to sit anywhere. i ordered the vegetarian burrito. this was one of the greatest burritos i have ever eaten!!! it was immense & packed with the usual fare: veggies, beans, rice, guac, and sour cream, what made the memory of this meal was the tortilla. it was so soft and tender, yet able to hold together what felt like a pound of food without breaking. it only came unraveled as i neared the final bites of this hand-held dining experience. i even remarked to the waitress/cashier that this burrito is one of the top 3 i have had the pleasure to devour. and the homemade salsa & chips were just as delightfully fresh and tasty as well.
  
  i made a point to write down the name of the restaurant, and give a yelp review upon returning home. after reading the reviews i can see i am not alone in my assessment. and here i was thinking i had found a great little restaurant that could use some well-deserved p.r.!

  We have waited 45 minutes for two burritos. The place was empty and still took them such a long time to make our burritos. We also asked about their fish of the day, the response was we have a grilled fish. We wasted so much time for just getting our burritos. Insane !!!!!

  The food is good, but it's way over priced!  Especially considering they charge $2.50 for soda that you never get any refills for!  If I had know adding beans and rice was $2.99 for EACH, no chance I would have ordered them!  Oh, and they never bring you the check so don't wait for it,  you have to go up to the counter so if you were going dutch you get to shuffle your money in front of an audience.  The food is pretty dang good though!

  It seems I once left a review here but I'll post anyway. My favorite item but don't order everytime is the Shrimp wrapped in bacon. It's truly exceptional. I love the ambience and as for the reviews of it being too dimly lit, that was never a issue w me or anyone I took there. It was never too dark inside and I've dined there daytime and at night. This is one of the best, if not the best Mexican restaurant I've dined at. I always found service to be good whether in slow or busy times. One of the joys for me is to look out the window and watch people pass by on old hwy 99. I'm not a drinker but most times I'll order one of their $5.00 margarita drinks I think it is, anyway, they come in large glasses and they'll salt the glasses. Waitresses always nice. Highly recommended.

  My siblings and I took my mom here for her birthday because it's her favorite place in town. We aren't local to Orland, but are from the Sacramento area - however, my mom lives a mile away from here and goes here often. The food was okay, and the establishment itself was dimly lit and not totally kept up, but the staff were very nice. It was my mom's birthday, so we went here to oblige her, but if any of the rest of us had a choice, we wouldn't go here again.
  
  Here's where my gripe comes in. I ordered another item to go, as I wanted to treat my boyfriend, who was waiting back home in Davis. I sent him the menu and he was torn between two choices, so he said his first choice is the nachos panchos. He wanted me to ask if the carne asada was lean or fatty, and if it was lean, then to order that. So I asked, and was told that it was not fatty. I ordered it.
  
  The menu says the item is covered in melted cheese. It failed to mention that the "melted cheese" is actually nacho cheese. I didn't think to ask for clarification because we weren't at a baseball game hotdog vendor, we were at a Mexican restaurant. So, I ordered this food item and drove it all the way home (an almost 2 hour drive), only to find that the nachos were completely smothered in nacho cheese. I mean, there was so much nacho cheese, it was like we'd gotten a side of nacho chips to go with the cheese.
  
  The meat was even worse. Not only was it not lean at all, it was incredibly gristly. Boyfriend tried to skip over the cheese to eat other parts, but the meat was just awful. We offered it to someone else who doesn't mind fatty meat, and even he couldn't eat it. It was inedible.
  
  I would give it 1 star based on the food alone, but am giving it 2 for the friendly staff.
