Let me start by saying don't let the look fool you. I have to say this has been the best Mexican food I have had in Hanford in a very long time. Everything was made very fresh an not frozen. The favors of the food amazing. The retried beans made perfect with none of that after taste due to using lard. This is definitely my new place for Mexican food. An the service excellent..Colima is a must try...best place in town..
Review Source:Do not let the looks of the outside steer you away from this place. The food is good and so are the prices. Their breakfast menu is good and priced amazingly. Just try the food, it's good, its definitely my favorite spot in Hanford to get a quick bite.
The environment is relax and the waitresses are not pushy. At times I've seen people playing pool and downing drinks at their bar section! Yes they have a bar, pool table, and a jukebox. Things you want to try at this place are: their breakfast menu, Barbacoa, caldo de res, and their michelada.
Im giving 4 stars bc of the entire overall package: great food, friendly service, and quality. First I was impressed with the chips and salsa bc the salsa was warm and  fresh. I never had warm salsa before and I really enjoyed it. Me and my boyfriend ordered the Barbacoa plate which is only served on Sat and Sundays. Pretty damn good! And comes with a spicey dipping red sauce, diced onions, cilantro and lemon. Tender juicy flavorful cubes of meat!
We also ordered a side of guacamole, very fresh and packs a bit of a onion punch. There is also a pool table inside and a bar but no bar tender, which I found odd. Also pretty packed for breakfast. Next time I plan to try the Caldo de Res(soup) which will nicely compliment the chilly Tule fog weather.
Hanford seems to have several Mexican restaurants but none compare to Colimas.
Lucas and I stopped by often for dinner. I always ordered the Carne Asada Nachos and Lucas the El Pastor tacos, simply because they were the best. The meat was cooked to perfection. Absolutely loved the salsa. But what blew me away was this .... I had completely forgot to place a large order for 15 people (we were helping provide meals to a family who just lost their son in Iraq). I walked in 10 minutes before closing to see if by any chance they could make this order for me. I was ready to hear "I am sorry, we can't" but instead I heard "Yes, what do you need?" Some of the items they had but some they had to make fresh. They were cooking 20 min after closing for me. I was so impressed and grateful. We were able to deliver a wonderful meal to the family the next day.
The waitress always remember us (see we went often), excellent customer service!!! We have introduced a lot of friends to this place, shared a lot of memories, and recommend Colimas to everyone! We have recently moved away from Hanford but we plan to visit every time we go back.
So I said I was gonna come back for their breakfast burritos, and I have. Twice. Â They offer them with beans - I've had a burrito w/ and one w/o. Â both are good, but w/o is my personal fave. Â they earned a star directly because of their eggs. Â They taste just like my grandma's! All buttery and cholesterol inducing. I'll be back...in the am!!
Review Source:I love the fact that they have homemade tortillas. I totally appreciate that because store bought ones are a disappointment to me. They have good Carne asada, I like their buche, and the tripas wasn't that bad either.
Service can be kind of slow, especially during lunch. It was hard to get a water refill. The food is delicious though, and almost makes up for it.
How does this place still only have one review?? Wake up Hanford and smell the guacamole. The food is cheap, fresh and tasty. I highly recommend ordering the aforementioned guacamole, which has an oniony kick, to compliment the salsa which packs its own punch. They also have a few interesting non-alcoholic drinks that don't come out of cans or bottles, and a jukebox with Mexican pop.
