Authentic Mexican cuisine. If you're in a hurry, The 301 Cafe isn't the place. The kitchen takes their time preparing every plate to perfection.
Kick back, relax and listen to the jukebox while you wait for your food to arrive.
You will not be disappointed.
Buen provecho!

Some of the best Mexican I’ve had and I’ve had a lot. First of all, you are alittle worried about how it looks alittle run down, but then you find out it’s been here for 75 years and the people running it have been doing so for 50 years. The food is amazing and they start your meal with chips and guacamole long with traditional picked carrots, onion and jalapeños. The salsa is very hot but so fresh and delicious. It’s all vary traditional, but is California style crispy tacos. Trust me you love the food! Service can be alittle slow, be patient , it’s worth it
Great food. Great prices! Best hard shelled chicken tacos ever!!

What I like about 301 is that it's just down the street from where I live which makes it so convenient. I don't have to drive far to get good authentic Mexican food. The decor could use some upgrades to something more modern. The server is very sweet and nice. They could use more servers though instead of one person doing everything. I like the pickled carrots, chips and quacamole. The jukebox is pretty cool. The beer is served in a nice ice cold mug. Good place to eat for a reasonable price. I ordered the chicken hard tacos it was okay I didn't care for the chicken it was bland, but still eatable
This has been the best place I’ve ever ate at. We came here as a family spontaneous and honestly it’s the best food we’ve ever had. So affordable as well. 4 drinks for whole entrees for $40. And the ambient is so amazing. You feel at home. Words can’t describe how much we loved the food and this place. I can’t wait to bring more of my family to eat here
Absolutely best authentic Mexican diner

Glad to know it's still going strong. Used to frequent 301 when a student at CSUF in early 1970's. Congratulations.
