17 Best Mexican Restaurants near Nevada City

“The place has good food and could become a regular downtown hot spot if:
1. They improve the atmosphere. Nevada city is all about atmosphere.
2. They replace their AI slop photos with real ones. Nothing more disgusting to prospective diners than seeing these attached images all over the place.
3. Fix the smell of bleach and chlorine in the space so it’s actually appetizing to enter the place.“

“all types of tortillas organic and preservative free“

“Went in this morning for breakfast burrito, and was not disappointed!! The tortilla shells are just right, authentic with fire oven taste, the beans with mole sauce and potatoes and eggs, salsa. Just really hit the spot!! Thank you. We have a winner here peeps!“

“Casa Las Katarinas has been one of our longtime favorites—ever since the days in Nevada City with the original owners, David and Delia. Since their move down to Alta Sierra, the magic has only grown. The new owners, Barbara M. and David M., have elevated everything while keeping the heart of the place intact. And the staff? They feel like family. Amy and Dakota are truly the best—warm, attentive, and always smiling. The food is authentically and consistently delicious. Their chile rellenos (baked, not fried!) are perfection, and the fish tacos are flat-out unbelievable. Whenever my family comes up from Silicon Valley, Casa Las Katarinas is always our first stop. From my veggie wife, to our vegan daughters, to our meat-loving sons-in-laws—everyone finds something they love. Absolutely a must-go. One of those rare places that just keeps getting better.“

“The food is pretty good. The service was ok. My food sat on the counter for a couple minutes as the employees talked. I like the drive thru option. What i didn't like is that they ask for a tip for a drive through. I don't mind tipping for a sit down meal but a drive through is like picking up at the counter. No tip for literally handing me my food.“
