CRAIG FOOD!?!?!?!

You walk in. You look left to the cashier and hopefully, it's not the old blonde lady who is too excited so early in the morning. The cashier will always have something to say, be it lethargic or ecstatic. 

You walk a meter further in and glance at the menu slips. It's versatile to an extent. Most of the time the cafeteria is limited to less than 10 dishes, some of which are basically the same. It's a shame, having been fooled into the meal plan that would only offer me so little because it would "work" in my favor. A freshman year full of disappointment. They don't even let us eat bacon in our custom made sandwiches. 

Note: Incoming freshman, choose elsewhere to live other than the socialchico.

MENU 

  • Cheese Burger (same as the hamburger, with cheese) 
  • Hamburger 
  • Quesadilla 
  • Chicken Quesadilla (Quesadilla with undercooked chicken inside) 
  • Grilled Cheese (this one's pretty good) 
  • Hot Dog (burnt sausage with grease juice, sometimes good)
  • Special (varies throughout the week)

Yelp's Review

Many people don't like Craig's food-now recognized as the Social due to change of management. The Social Chico is recognized as the worst place to live at Chico for students and condemned by students, mainly because of the food. "The food is trash, and you can't do anything without being bothered. I pay over $1,000 a month because a meal plan is REQUIRED and you eat the same exact thing every day," (C. B., Yelp). 


Review

I myself found the food subpar yet barely acceptable. The stove is full of grease and is unlikely wiped down before any preparation for the following meal orders made by others. Frankly, it is difficult to eat when your food is dripping with grease, like a hot dog dripping out sausage juice. Hamburgers are dry and the condiments are not exactly adding any flavor. It's meant to be a cafeteria feeding the residents and all agree that instead of the same meals every day, that they should either serve different meals or expand the menu's variety.

Tacos Tonaya #2, BEST Mexican Food in Chico?

Image
Tacos Tonaya #2  Tacos Tonaya #2 sits on the corner of walnut and West 3rd, an area heavily populated by multiple student housing areas and attracts many students in during their late nights. Late Saturday night? Tacos Tonaya's open until 2 a.m. on Sunday early morning. Dependable for almost any time of day, well except on Sundays-off to church to praise the Lord and Savior and pray for good fortune. Walking home, I myself pass it every now and then, and it is heavily impacted by the student population arriving for the Mexican food. Always there for some good tacos. Menu As a Mexican restaurant, Tacos Tonaya #2 has quite the reputation to uphold for those further down in southern California. They have a variety to please the customers-Mexican specialty dishes, tacos, burritos, fries with the infamous carne asada . There is a lot to choose from. Rumors say that their California burrito is their most attractive dish.  Mexican Food Competition? Sure there mi...
