Aca Taco Broadway - Mango Jarritos for scale! - Mexican Near Me - Chico, California

This is my second time visiting Chico. My family and I were walking downtown and this was the first mexican restaurant we saw and we decided to give it a try. We order nachos, tacos al pastor and a carne asada burrito. If i could give more than 5 starts to this place I would. This is some real mexican food. Defenitely coming back to this place. read more

See all

Good food and friendly fast service at a good price. I would recommend it. Only con is limited parking.

Aca taco is my favorite mexican. I eat there at least once a week. I always get the Al pastor burrito. The staff is friendly and it is always clean read more

This review is mainly about Grubhub since once order was picked up it wasn't "Acataco's problem". Since Grub hub didn't deliver my order and NEITHER business would accept responsibility for it I was billed ($28.) for NOTHING. I will never do business with either AcaTaco nor GrubHub again. read more

Great little taco place, with both tacos and burritos, that is definitely worth a try. Usually have asada burritos, and they have always hit the mark. However, a word to the owners......this is 2018, and to have an establishment that ONLY TAKES CASH is kinda inconvenient and very antiquated, so maybe invest the money you make from a $9 burrito into ATM/Credit capability which I'm sure will increase your traffic. Good food though. read more

Lady s and Gentleman THE BEST BURRITOS IN CHICO AND THE BEST FOOD, I'm eating at Aca Taco for DECADES!!! and ALWAYS CLEAN and supper great food for a breakfast , lunch or Dinner, sorry that some people said bad things for aca taco, why? I don't have any idea, a list 3 time a week my husband an I, we both LOVE IT!!!! GGGGRRREAAATTTT read more

Literally the best al Pastor in town. They grill it up quick, right when you order it so it's juicy with seared edges. Wow. I, in all honesty, eat here a minimum of 3 times a week; Sometimes 6. It's super affordable. Grocery shopping and making a not as good one at home costs more. read more

A Chico institution for as long back as I can recall, for it was such when I grew up here in the 1980s and 1990s. I stopped in on a Wednesday during the second week of Fall semester - it was moderately busy. I ordered 4 tacos - I was hungry, but the tacos are bigger than I expected, and larger than what are typical of local taco trucks around town. All things are relative, and moving back to Chico after half a decade in Boston, Massachusetts, an otherwise gastronomically diverse city sadly lacking in readily accessible Mexican food, even the moderately authentic Aca taco is a dream. By Chico standards, however, I think it's fairly average - or moderately better than average - a bread-and-butter taco place. I ordered four bread-and-butter combos too: carne asada, pork al pastor, pork colorado, and pork chile verde, all with hot salsa added. Several technical aspects were well done: the slow cooked pork chunks had just the slightest crisped edges from the charcoaled patina of the grill, finely minced white onion, and minced cilantro on all four. The pastor was the best, I thought, and the others, while tasty, had overly large and somewhat dry chunks of lean pork, shredded and slightly dry beef for the carne asada. The place has got to be a hit after a night of boozing, and the tacos are really cheap -- each was less than $3. Next time I'll try their famous burritos. While you certainly could do worse, Chico is blessed with several taco trucks and taquerias that do a lot better; but the location, service, and price really cannot be beat, which is why it remains a Chico staple. read more

Aca Taco Broadway - Carne Asada, Chile Colorado, Chile Verde, and Al Pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - Chico, California

Good Mexican food. Street tacos are very expensive for what you get, burritos are bueno

What can I say, I just like this place. It has survived in downtown Chico for what, 20+ years now? They are doing something right. Don't like the ATM thing? Here's an idea . . . carry a $5 bill in your pocket or something. Problem solved. Not my favorite mex in Chico proper, but for a quick downtown burrito, this is the place. read more

I wanted to see what kind of Mexican food that Chico had to offer. This place was phenomenal and the prices are very reasonable (compared to the Bay Area atleast). I would definitely eat here again! read more

No idea why it took me so long to eat here since I work downtown. Had enchiladas there last winter and now we are hooked. We both got the enchilada plate with one puerco chile verde, one cheese, and one chicken. Pork is succulent and tender, cheese tasty, melty and piping hot, chicken is flavorful. Huge serving, good price. Also, we drove to the park with it and they pack it so well that it was all still perfectly contained, and again, actually HOT. Also love the puerco chile verde burritos. The staff is friendly, and the food is cooked to order. I love this place! read more

This place is always very clean and polished and generally very pleasant. Every time I go I order the mini tacos, or whatever they're called, and they're great--he meat is always extremely flavorful and generally delightful. Sometimes I rollerskate there. They're one of the few places in Chico that let me enter the building with my skates on. One time I went with my Hispanic friend, and the vendor tried to ask him what he wanted in Spanish, only to be embarrassed to find out that he only speaks English. It seemed like that lady didn't speak English very well. She was very gracious. Aca Taco is probably one of the best places to eat Mexican food in Chico, I'd recommend it. read more

listen: this place is reliable, you know what you are going to get. a pretty great burrito which is available late on weekends (3:00 AM) so there really isn't much to complain about. I go for the carne asada with sour cream and extra onions, and it rules everytime. it is much better than any corporate burrito place. forget about tacobell and chipotle. please you people have to be out of your mind to take either of those places over a local gem like aca taco. the only acceptable alternative should be one of the many amazing and affordable taco trucks which can be found throughout chico. read more

Quick fast and tasty! Close to campus, and if you want a quick bite to eat btw classes, this is your place. The only downside is the cash only, so get some cash before coming here! read more

The first time i tried it, I wasn't too impressed, and didn't care to try it again. But after a while, a friend of mine was already going there and asked if I wanted to come along, so I bit the bullet and joined, and it was like a whole different restaurant! I've gone there a million times since, and every time has been delicious! Inexpensive and huge portions. I just got the Nachos Aca Taco today and they were so good! The only downside to the place is that they don't accept cards so you have to use the ATM they have which charges an additional buck or so. Otherwise, I love it!! read more

Ah, Chico. The town where 5 bucks means you're rich. And if you're downtown checking out a band at La Salle's and looking for a good burrito to stumble home with, I'd recommend this taqueria. Fast, cheap, tasty, just good stuff. read more

I've eaten here two times and I have to say I do like the place. First time I went I got a vegetarian burrito, which was great! It was just really nice to sit in there, it wasn't busy so it was really relaxing, and get out of the summer heat. My friend got a carne asada burrito, which looked like mostly carne, so if you're a meat fan you're getting your moneys worth. I went back again and got a chicken burrito, I was starving so I scarfed the whole thing, I'm just more of a fan of pulled juicy style chicken, and they do there's grilled, and it had a kinda sourish tomato taste to it. I don't think I'll order that again but they also have one with green sauce so I'd be down to try that. I wouldn't say this is the very best in Chico, but this place has good food and good ingredients, I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Some friends and I were looking for a place to eat in between classes and we came upon Aca Taco. We totally recommend this place. We each ordered something different but each of us agree on the fact that the food hit the right spot. read more

Aca Taco has been one of my favorites since I was a young lad in high school. I don't frequent the downtown restaurant often since nord is closer to me. Still I have fond memories of late night burros. read more

Went in for some burritos. They are always very pleasant there. The burritos are good but this particular time mine was a little mushy. None of us could find any of the tomatoes they put on the burritos but still good enough, for the price, to give them 4 stars. read more

I got the chicken verde burrito on Cesar Chavez day, so you would think it would be great due to my altered state, but no, it tasted like chicken soup. I hate soup. read more

This is probably my favorite burrito I have had in Chico! I'm not writing this review based off of service, but simple quality of food. It was delicious, the carne asada was lean and full of flavor. Ingredients tasted very fresh. 5 stars from me :) read more

I went into Aca Taco for the first time in years to see if it had changed and it did not dissappoint. They still don't take ATM cards for payment. They do offer a "ATM machine" that will gig you for a couple bucks. Had a carne asada burrito with sour cream and cheese. Hot salsa is not hot and the carne asada has all the flavor of boild flank steak with a dash of salt. I just can't support an establishment that will not support their customers by accepting ATM or Credit. It feels like a giant screw you when they point you to a ATM with huge fee's. On top of that it was way to expensive for what you get. Just shy of $10 for a burruto and coke. I think I'll go back to reading the Butte County health inspector reports. Yikes! read more

Awesome burritos with vegetarian/vegan options. Try the aca vegetarian without cheese if you are vegan, it comes with rice, beans, potatoes, zucchini, carrots, and salsa and is delicious. BUT they don't take cards, sort of ridiculous, so make sure you have cash! read more

They have a really great vegetarian burrito option! Actual veggies, not just beans and rice.

Really good!!! Except they dont accept debit cards, I was overcharged due to their debit card machine within the store...charged $1.75 by the machine and another $1.25 for the use of their machine by the person at the register. I didn't notice till much later but dang, I could have bought two extra tacos! Kids loved the veggie burrito so its all good. read more

I will start by saying I love Aca Taco and think they have great food. However, this location has disappointed me too many times. They make my order wrong every time I go to this location and only come back because I love their burritos and is the closest to where I work. Recently, they upset me too much that Im here writing this yelp review, which is something i never consider doing. My boyfriend called in my order and the lady belittled him for asking her how long it would take. She told him that she's never heard that question and made him feel stupid for even asking. Then, when i pickup my order AGAIN, NO. SOUR. CREAM. And this time NO LETTUCE TOO. I called back explaining the situation. She cut me off saying "oh..the order for [insert name]?... yeah there were no instructions for those ingredients." This was wrong considering I was in the room while it was being made. When I told her that, she changed the reason saying she misheard. I am still waiting on her putting in a new burrito for me. I finally order it and told her my bf is picking it up because I had to go to work. Then she told me the sour cream would be en extra charge. She wanted ME to PAY 50 CENTS extra for THEIR mess up? UM HELL NO. She finally changed her mind about that idea. This whole conversation and situation is not even that bad, however, the way the lady talked to me in such a degrading tone with so much attitude really made me upset. Like damn. i just wanted my burrito fixed so I could eat a bomb ass burrito before my long ass shift. You don't gotta be so damn rude. Like shit, im a loyal customer and i recommend your food to others. OH almost forgot. She wanted me to bring the mess up burrito back to the store "As soon as possible". The burrito with bites taken out. Like why did they want it? to throw away? luckily i did not waste it and gave it to a hungry coworker. Also, you wanted me to go out of my way to bring back the burrito. honey, no. Anyways, I just want to end this by saying I love you Aca Taco and thank you for making such great food. Just for the love of god go pay some attention to your downtown store. They need help. I recommend you go to the one on Nord. Thank you for listening to my TedTalk. read more

BEST BURRITOS IN CHICO!!! I've been coming here for at least 20 years. I haven't even tried everything on the menu because the burritos are so addicting. I finally broke down and tried the tacos and nachos which were delicious. The staff is always kind, appreciative and bilingual. I love Aca Taco! EXCELLENT!!! read more

Tastes great, decent priced, and always quick and consistent! They also have one of those fancy soda machines

I usually order the chicken burrito bowl or a chicken burrito. Their food is out of this world. I'm always happy with the customer service here (not the one on west sacramento). I'll continue to come back each week for amazing Mexican food! read more

Cash only otherwise you got to pay $2.50 to use the ATM in the front of the store! No bueno. The food was pretty good. They did charge me for and extra drink for some reason when one came with my meal which I didn't relize till I got home. So between the ATM fee and the cost of the extra drink it was definitely NOT worth it. read more

Been coming here since my college days oh so long ago. The food has remained consistent through the years. Think taco truck but in a building, you know, before our tacos sprouted wheels, if you're not familiar with this place. Cheap and delicious! read more

Make sure you take cash. And the cash machine inside dose not work! Very frustrated and hungry :(

Aca Taco has been a favorite of mine for years and it has almost become comfort food to me. My favorite is their Vegetarian Burrito which still feels substantial and leaves me full for the rest of the afternoon. The staff and cooks behind the counter are friendly and always have a smile for you. read more

Awesome burritos and nachos, carne asada and the elpastore just go off in your mouth, like bam! We go downtown frequently in the summer time for the farmer's market and to go to LaSalle's on Thursday night. A lot of time we end up at Aca Taco on Broadway or the one on West Sacramento. The regular burrito is good for two people(or lunch the next day if you cut it in half. The large burrito costs a buck more but its really not much bigger. The one on Broadway used to serve Sierra Nevada on tap, now its serves no ales or beers. read more

This little hole in the wall has really good food! It's nothing fancy inside but I really enjoyed the nachos and churros. I will definately go back there next time I'm in Chico. read more

Found the food to be better than the location on Nord! I was surprised. The only complaint I have is that their refried beans are runny, not thick. I ordered an extra side of refried beans and cheese for $2.00, and it was too runny and not worth it. BUUUT, amazing burrito as far as I was concerned and much better looking location than on Nord (closes early though!) read more

Great burrito. Terrible Price if you forget cash. You'll suffer $1.50 added to your burrito bill making it nearly $8(and mine was a veggie)
