So I ate here during Covid - we did take out and I can't even remember what we had but I knew it was good. And I've been trying to go to new places in Chico to renew my appreciation for the town and what it has to offer. Relleno plate - the bomb! Relleno was fresh no seeds no stem and amazing flavor! Rice and beans same and on point. Chips and salsa - yummy flavorful and crunchy! Delisious dipped in the beans with some rice!! Al Pastor taco - I never had been served stripps but the flavor was great and it was a nice sized taco! Great salsa on top too! Went back and we crafted two burritos Relleno burrito with carnitas - this was fire and on point the flavors were perfect and it fed me three times! Chili verde burrito - wet with chili verde on top! The sauce is amazing and different so full of flavor and was a perfect burrito! Horchata is the bomb also - I have a hard time with some places because of the thickness or lack of flavor and theirs does not disappoint it was delicious! Go and eat there or get take out everything is made fresh and tastes amazing! Great staff also - friendly and nice to chat with!! Can't wait for the new menu item coming soon!! read more

First of all we loved how friendly the owner was. He was delightful and helpful. We ordered the carnitas, lengua, and pastor tacos and they were delicious. We also received chips and salsa which were good too! We will be back to try to the asada since we heard it is slow cooked and tasty. The interior design is bright and colorful. We will be back! read more

Would definitely try more. Immediately was greeted when entering, what a change from other places that wait for you to order. Got a walk through the menu too cause things were slow. Burrito tasted nice and fresh. Looks like a lot of great stuff to try. Why not 5? Ugh, burrito was not big enough to be $12. read more

Best Pastor and salsa in town!! The taco truck on Nord is also amazing!! Always a kind and inviting vibe. My favorite mexican place in Chico read more

Take out is always ready in 10 minutes after I call and waiting for me. The two different people who have helped me with my orders have always seemed caring. I like their chicken supreme burrito bowl and usually order it. Their to-go chips and salsa are descent although I do wish that they gave more salsa than just including 2 tiny plastic containers with an order of chips and salsa. read more

I came in on 3/30 around 4pm with my friend, I ordered a Chorizo Chimichanga Burrito and he ordered a Carne Asada Supreme Wet Burrito. We didn't wait long until our food was up & ready. I took some Flan with me and a couple drinks. I did not eat inside the establishment but the gentleman who helped me at the register was very polite. I got home and man was it flavorful. I always fly by this place downtown on my way to work as the location is interesting. The parking lot never has many cars there but MAN will I be returning!!! Thank you so much!!! It was delicious! See you guys soon! read more

Amigos De Acapulco - Chorizo Chimichanga Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Chico, California

Great service, good food. Had their breakfast burrito, one of the best I've had in the area if not the best. Definitely returning.

Had a craving for fish tacos and figured this was as good a place as any to scratch the itch. Ordered 2 fish tacos and 1 Carne Asada as I typically like to try every places Carne as a baseline. So far, this is my favorite Carne Asada I have had up here in Chico. Deep, rich flavor, proper texture, good quality meat, and nice tortillas. The fish tacos were pretty good, but had a ton of lettuce on them that made it pretty hard to see/taste the fish. I'm just gonna ask for light lettuce next time and they'll be tasty. All in all, solid food, very reasonably priced, and everyone working there was very friendly and made sure I had what I needed to throw the munch down. read more

I have been eating at Amigos for nearly 16 years and can confidently attest to the consistency, quality and value of the food. There is a food truck on W. Sacramento Ave. that has the same name - this is NOT the same food, and is not prepared by the same people. For the authentic taste, go to the Oroville Ave. location, right off Broadway. The owners and employees are kind, generous, humble - I can't say enough positive things about them - the food is from family recipes and has never lapsed in flavor or quality in all the time I've been eating there. Thank you, Amigos De Acapulco for treating me as a friend. Your amigo, Brett read more

Very attentive staff. Food was good however the salsa was not authentic. Clean inside, good variety of dishes to choose from. Beans and rice was authentic and had great flavor. Chili Rellano was not fresh. read more

Amigos De Acapulco - the entrance to a mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Chico, California

Any place with "Amigos" in the title should be a friendly spot, and they live up to their name and then some. Not only are they friendly, they serve up some quality, authentic Mexican eats, which makes this my go-to spot any time I'm in town. I walked in while on a road trip stopover with the hope of finding something cheap and tasty. I went with a chicken burrito and was amused when the gentleman said "good choice - best thing on the menu." I don't know if that's true, but it was a hearty and satisfying burrito, with lots of evenly distributed, tender meat, rice, beans and some amazing house salsas. It's great to have enthusiastic employees like this guy who make you feel good and welcome. Friendly folks, tasty food. What more could you ask for? read more

I was really craving some horchata which got me out of the house originally. I also ended up getting a burrito. The lady was soooo sweet and I give her 5 stars, which is why it pains me to say that I wasn't impressed with the burrito or the horchata. The horchata was too sweet for my liking. I got a carne asada burrito with cheese and sour cream added. I think it was just meh. It was one of those meals that i was like, "darn I regret spending $16 on this." The burrito was a good size (I would estimate about 9 inches long), but I prefer Aca Taco's carne asada burrito with cheese and sour cream far more for flavor. read more

This is a really solid spot for Mexican food in Chico. The owners are almost always there, working hard and very friendly. They have great nachos, carne asada is always a good choice, and don't forget to grab a cold beer. Parking kind of sucks in this area so you might have to park on the street. read more

Maybe I'm spoiled because I'm visiting from souther Arizona where there is an abundance of different types of Mexican food. I didn't really care for the food we ordered. The fish taco was alright. My wife and I really disliked the carne asada. Especially because there was a ton of onions cooked in and not a lot of meat. The salsas were So so. One person in our party did like the machaca burrito. I liked the horchata. With that said, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the food just didn't do it for me. read more

Dining room is always clean. The food is served quickly and is always piping hot and fresh. You order at the counter and the wait staff will deliver it to your table. They do charge for chips and salsa but it is worth it. Their salsa is a combination of purée and chunky fresh tomatoes. Their enchiladas verde and Al pastor tacos are authentic and flavorful. Combination plates are an ample portion. read more

Food was ok at best but my waitress-manager was too busy talking to a couple in a booth to bring out my food. A nice gentleman from the kitchen brought it out before it got cold. The waitress-manager never came to check if I needed anything or if the food was ok. My first and last time to this establishment . read more

Not usually one to leave a bad review but usually this place is good. It was not tonight. I got pollo asada tacos and the chicken seemed very old, was completely dried out and not much flavor. Should not have been served, come on please do better. read more

Great service. Always awesome specials(pupusas). One of the best Mexican spots in Chico.

BEST VEGAN BURRITOS Literally so good! The customer service is awesome too. They are usually super quick too. Only vegan burrito in Chico -- they don't use any animal products in beans or rice. Do yourself a favor and buy one right now! read more

On a venture up to Butte County, I was craving some good authentic Mexican food that will not disappoint. And driving through the downtown part of Chico, I stumbled across a place that stood out with its bright yellow-colored exterior building that just screamed attention. Which takes me none other to "Amigos De Acapulco". Conveniently located on the corner of Oroville Ave. and Broadway St., this place is in the heart of downtown Chico. There is a small parking lot that can fill about 10 vehicles but will fill up quickly during the dinner rush as well as the lunchtime hours when hungry Chico State students want their Mexican fix. Inside, the restaurant is fairly spacious as orange and yellow walls are the focal point while giving it that authentic Mexican feel to it. I had come here with my fiancée on a Sunday afternoon around 2:30pm. There wasn't many customers inside since it was in between lunch and dinner time. Since we had ate breakfast a few hours prior to coming here, we aren't hungry enough to go with a full-on lunch entree. Therefore, we both decided to try their tacos out. We had both ordered three of their "Carne Asada Tacos". And priced at a reasonable $2.00/each, this was a very good deal for a sit down restaurant. Our tacos arrive in less than five minutes and are presented very nicely. They come fully loaded with two corn tortillas, sliced onions, cilantro, red salsa, and lime wedges on the side. And when we enjoyed was the abundance of carne asada meat that was packed inside. The overall flavor was spot-on while I tasted many hints of spices that included cumin, salt, and pepper. And the salsa added a perfect spice without being too overbearingly hot to my taste buds. My lady also ordered a "Horchata" which is a type of Mexican rice drink. I could definitely tell that this was made from scratch and had the perfect amount of creaminess while the cinnamon spice added some nice flavor to it. Now if tacos just isn't your thing, "Amigos De Acapulco" offers a huge variety of menu options including nachos, taquitos, tortas, tamales, quesadillas, and burritos. Not to mention sopes, soups, salads, and ceviche. And finally they also have vegetarian options as well as seafood dishes and a small beer selection. Overall, I highly recommend "Amigos De Acapulco" if you're a Butte County local or just happen to be passing through town en route up north to Redding or down south to Sacramento. The service is decent, prices are very reasonable, and the quality of food is above average for what I found to be excellent tasting Mexican food. read more

Love this place! Consistently delicious food and lovely service. Asada is especially good here.

Turns out Amigos de Acapulco were not very friendly at all when it came to ingredients in their fairly expensive Nachos Combinados, $12.99 +. When one reads the ingredients list is easy to be sold, three kinds of meat, bean, cheese, tomatoes, etc etc. I fully understand that this particular dish is kind of Americanized over the years, had them where they truly shine and mostly in their more mediocre appearance. Impressed by the many glowing reviews attesting to this place excellence, but also aware of the risk of getting shorted in the end, threw the dices and played the odds. What arrived to the table was visibly cut short from their advertised page. Only one meat mostly, not too bad Carnitas, but hey?! where are the other 2? Away in vacation in Acapulco! No jalapeños which basically is mandatory, and the overly friendly host never reappeared to ask for some. Plate relatively small, ingredients way below par, with the exception of the very thin sour cream. Carnitas get old fast, and they controlled the protein army to ghastly results. The point is that once a restaurant is given almost 5 stars, they have to act and dispense food like it, and sadly the oily several tortillas and the accompaniment failed dismally. 2.5 Stars. Companion opted for Carne Asada Sope, $4.99+? Female comensal, possibly due to the munchies, lavished praises to what appeared to me an average sope. 4 Stars. Total $20, for what I definitely disagree deserves such high accolades. Service initially very effusive, place basically empty except for a table that for a brief spell remain occupied. Water nice, bathroom clean. At most 3 Stars. read more

Horrible my burrito was very soggy my brother and sister absolutely hated it a sorry not sorry

Acceptable but unbalanced. I have lived in LA and San Francisco and it satisfied my burrito craving. The chips were crunchy and not greasy; only a couple were over-toasted. No salsa molcajete. They didn't get the balance quite right. Too many fries in boyfriend's California Burrito. Too much onion and cilantro in the pico de gallo. Rice, beans, and tortilla were good but not spectacular. My burrito flopped over and did not hold its shape. I enjoyed it enough to eat there again... if I had no better choice. It was on Black Friday, so maybe stuff that has to marinate in the fridge didn't get the chance because of the holiday. read more

Was very excited to try this place considering it is ranked the best in Chico for mexican food! Huge let down, I got the special of the day - california burrito, and it was very dry. The beef was fine and the guacamole was actually delicious. Best part of the meal was the homemade Horchata they had .... read more

Big tacos! Today I stopped by for some take out and ordered 4 Tacos al Pastor. Meat was seasoned well and not overwhelmed with onions like other places. The tortillas were soft and the condiments were fresh. I am giving this place 4 stars because they could use some work on their sauces. I asked for some sauce on the side and was given their "spiciest" sauce-- in my honest opinion, it was not spicy but instead it just gave me a burning sensation around my lips and mouth. I have tried many sauces and I would say that their sauces need a little more seasoning. Not sure if they use Habanero in their sauces, but I would prefer if they experimented with other chilies for the "spicy" component of their sauces and avoid having my lips burn. With that being said-- I really enjoyed their tacos and will be coming back for more. read more

Amigos De Acapulco - Tacos al pastor. The meat is well seasoned and cooked. They're big too!! - Mexican Near Me - Chico, California

We came across this place because the outside of it looked authentic. I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint. I ordered 2 sopes, 1 chicken and 1 asada. They were loaded with tasty meat and fresh toppings; truly a perfect combination of flavors and texture. My bro got a torta, and he was also very satisfied. Surprisingly, even their crinkle cut fries were some of the best I've ever had. What really set this place apart was the attentive service provided by who I assume is the owner. He seemed to truly care about us having a pleasant experience, and really went above and beyond to make it happen. He said that around 97% of their items are made from scratch, which is amazing and unheard of !!! We will definitely be back 10/10 satisfied read more

LOVE the Popeye burrito! Our family eats here regularly due to the terrific food and decent pricing. Update: came in tonight after some time away and was surprised to come home and find that my takeout order was wrong. I ordered a carne asada torta for my daughter with no jalapeños and ended up with a chicken torta with jalapeños. My husband's plate didn't have any sour cream and there was no cheese on his beans. Super disappointed that we can't count on them to get our order correct. Won't be returning. read more

Decided to do a pit stop here while on the way home, hoping that it would be a hole in a wall Mexican restaurant. However it was not and was quite basic. Ordered a carne asada taco, supreme el pastor burrito, and horchata. Nothing stood out about those items. Food did not come with any chips, lime, radishes and has no salsa bar. I've experienced better Mexican restaurants. read more
