    a plate of mexican food
    Howard B.

    This place is just plain crazy good. I've been coming here for 25 years and it's absolutely perfect. Just dropped by after an 8 year hiatus and Crazy Taco is exactly the same as my last visit. Maybe better. I had 3 carnitas tacos for $3.75 and they were crispy, delicious, overfilled and served with radishes, jalapeño and lemon. I'm seriously going back for breakfast!

    $5 Quesadilla.

    The why as to the lavishing praises I will never know. Did I miss something that makes all the difference between an average taco and a great one? I never been one to dislike positive reviews, but this Crazy Taco being a great quality food for a bargain price I disagree entirely. Edible? Certainly! Above average, best carnitas or carne asada, that is a long way from being so. $1.50 per mini taco is a fair offer, but the meats were diced so small, covered with average salsa, what exactly makes them great? Bought 8 tacos for $12. Carne Asada, Pastor, Chicken, Carnitas. Funny enough, my female companion who is always complaining, liked them very much. I had better of each meat, but must congratulate their set up, and completely sure the flow of clientele will not suffer not even a hiccup, for these little tacos. 3 Stars. $5 Quesadilla with Carnitas and Chicken. Yes, they were nice to accommodate both. Basically a medium size flour tortilla folded in half, as for the quesadilla part, the cheese flew back to Holland for the weekend, because this one had almost zero. I don't think it left a long lasting impression, and $5 is such an accessible bill. I seen that approach, where they skip the most important part of an item named after cheese, but it happens in even so called reputable franchises, that suck even worst. 3 Stars. Yet reviewers in Chico embrace this hole in the wall as a rare temple of excellence. Did I miss something? Probably the whole show is what I'm thinking . Hard working people, wish them the best, but the best to be had? Or the cheapest for that matter? $17 duckies beg to differ! 3 Stars.

    Don't underestimate it because it's in a liquor store this place has some pretty bomb ass tacos for $1.25 which is awesome and these taste hella good definitely recommend it!! UPDATE 1/6/20 : they still got bomb tacos and the prices haven't changed :) limes were a little dry but the meat and the sauce make up for it !

    For a quick and easy and cheap meal, this is a place to go. This is located in a liquor store but they have a window facing the parking lot. So you can put in your order and get your food quickly. And if you want a drink, just go inside the liquor store. I got three tacos - chicken, beef and pork. They are topped with cilantro and onions and salsa. My favorite was the pork. Super tasty meat and I was satisfied for the time being. And all of that for less than $5. There's no seating at this location though. So I had to devour it in my car.

    I love this taco stand. I prefer the tacos over burritos here. They are the little silver dollar kind that you can eat a lot of and are cheap. They were selling some other stuff out of the window for a while too: http://www.newsreview.com/chico/Content?oid=33788

    This place is a joke in the wall of a liquor store. I usually am the kind of person to turn my nose at that but my girlfriend isn't. After having had this place like 10 times i can say confidently they are good. HEADS UP: THEY ARE CASH ONLY

    Before I swapped California sunshine for Cape Cod breezes, I made one last flavorful pit stop at La…read moreFiesta Mexican Bar and Grill in Chico and I'm glad I did. This wasn't just a meal. It was a sendoff worthy of mariachi music and a frozen margarita toast. Let's start with the food: fire-grilled shrimp sizzling over peppers and onions, the kind of skillet that turns heads when it hits the table. The birria tacos were rich, cheesy, and golden-seared to perfection, with a deeply savory consommé for dipping every bite a messy, magnificent win. The combo plates brought it all together: classic rice and beans, fresh pico, guac, sour cream, and cheese so generous it should've paid rent. The place is full of charm, too. Walking through the doors is like stepping into a vibrant fiesta bright papel picado overhead, carved wooden benches, tiled floors that feel like abuela's house, and cheerful service that made us feel like family. I especially loved the colorful little photo-op corner by the entrance perfect for capturing the last California memory before heading east. It's not fancy. It's real. The kind of restaurant where flavors speak louder than trends, and you leave with a full belly and a bigger smile. Whether you're rolling through Chico or you're lucky enough to call it home, La Fiesta deserves a spot on your regular rotation. And if you're heading out of town like I was, this is the kind of farewell feast that sticks with you right next to the taste of lime and roasted onion. #LaFiestaChico #BirriaTacos #SizzlingShrimp #ChicoEats #ItsTheLittleThings #ThePuddingCreekTrestle #FoodieFuel #GuacAndRoll #TacoJoy #FlavorTrip

The marigold garland on the ceiling is a nice touch and the music videos were on point. It felt like we had gone on a journey and left Chico! I had the Birria Quesadilla with consume and mom had Birria nachos! Neither disappointed for sure. The meat is so tender and flavorful and added a nice touch to the nachos! I was surprised my mom even ordered Birria but she was happy she did. We didn't order chips and was happy we didn't because between the nachos and Birria quesadilla it was the perfect amount of food. Washed it down with a Modelo and couldn't have been happier! Makes me want to go back for the Birria Ramen!! The salsa was served in the cutest little clay containers on a beautiful clay heart plate.

All I said was I want a wet burrito and guy gave me a super burrito and made it wet. Taste wise it was delicious, can't really mess up a burrito. The sauce surrounding it was pretty darn good too. It was kinda tough to eat it though, with a knife and fork. Surprisingly didnt spill too much and fork could pick up the residue pretty well. I had to slice it and then cut that slice in half just to fit it in my mouth. I still prefer dry burrito over wet though and would get dry next time but even with the added 3$, it was still very worth. Chips and salsa: how could I forget about the chips and salsa. Mexican restaurants love their free chips and salsa and this is no exception. They not only have a salsa bar with many different sauces, but they also got a fat metal box with tons of chips for you to scoop yourself, it was amazing. Not only that but they got lids for the sauces and take out bags on the counter if you didnt finish them either. Extra Wish I took pic of menu but I was with friend 5/5 would go again
