    We have been to this restaurant several times, and always enjoy the food. While I tend to stick with Tex-Mex style food, my wife likes to experiment with different dishes. This restaurant actually has me going outside my comfort zone, and ordering the specials. Fabulous authentic Mexican cuisine, and the Tex-Mex options are delicious as well. My only complaint is my wife ordered a margarita, and asked for salt on the edge of the glass, but somehow got no salt.

    Unfortunately , my expectation of food quality and service , for the Price paid was very much a disappointment. I wanted to treat a Guest from Europe to authentic mexican food, it was not a great experience.

    While returning from a motorcycle trip to Seattle we stooped at your restaurant. The food was served hot and was great. Your salsa is quite good too. The waiter was friendly and tended to our needs in a timely manner. Next time in the area we will be back...

    Awful service, wrong food delivered and chunky blended margarita (twice) made for a terrible dinner. Has been much better in the past.

    Nice restaurant, great décor, casual atmosphere. Great variety on menu including vegan and gluten free offerings. Food was tasty with nice portions, though in general on the bland side. Waiter was friendly, attentive, there when needed, without hovering. Restaurant located in area with other restaurants, convenient to area hotels and the freeway. Would try again next time through Redding.

    What's outstanding at Cicada is the food. Whether or not you are a vegetarian, I would encourage you to order the vegan chile relleno. The chile was filled with a very nicely spiced saute of small-diced fresh vegetables, and what I liked most was that the chile (roasted etc. fresh) was not in a fried puffy casing. It was served with a beautiful red house-made sauce, green rice, and beans, all delicious. Unfortunately the service wasn't up to par for a restaurant like this. The hostess was excellent -- friendly and thoughtful--but the waiter, who said he was "busy," forgot to bring one of the drinks ordered and generally was unavailable. It is a large space and all of the servers seemed to be running from the kitchen to the tables, so there may be some larger issue at play. Nonetheless, we would return -- and maybe sit at a table in the bar area next time.

    It was Kool April Nights and we wanted to be able to watch the Cruise, but while having dinner. Cicadas was the perfect to eat, drink and be merry. Our Server apologized for the delay in getting our drinks to us because they were PACKED, but we told him we wanted to be there for hours so we were happy to have a bit of time in between our courses. Everything was so delicious from the sampler appetizer, Chiptole crusted Salmon with green rice to the Fried Ice Cream Sundae. Yum!

    Great twist on Mexican for Redding. A little more Baja than your traditional Mexican. The team there is great with service, the restaurant is large enough to create privacy while at your own meal. All around great!

    Overall, a good spot for Mexican. Service dragged a little, but who cares when you’re not in a hurry? Guacamole at the table was fantastic!! Margaritas were pretty weak, though.
