Asada Tacos
Michael G.

I ordered from here on Thursday night via DoorDash. I chose the QuesaBurrito & 4 Asada Tacos w/ Drink. Honestly the pictures they had looked mouth watering but what I received was bland and just didn't really pack any flavor. There are quite a few options in Chico so I'm not really sure this one stood out from the rest. I will have to stop by and try something different next time. Thanks

Spoiled avocado

Ordered a burrito bowl; Carne Asada, add shrimp add avocado both for extra charge . Not a big deal I paid extra for shrimp and avocado. What is a big deal is that the shrimp was maybe 2 shrimp cut into very small pieces and the avocado was spoiled/ brown, was supposed to come with sour cream, It did not have any. Asked for extra salsa was told they would have to charge. Also ordered a Carne Asada shrimp burrito. Husband said it was so salty and greasy !!! First and last time we will be there.

Quesabirria tacos x2. Plenty filling for me. Go-to comfort food. Amazing

My go-to taco truck. Their birria brought me to them because other places only have birria on certain days but they have it every day they are open. Their Jamaica agua Fresca is also my absolute fave of all I've tried so far. I hate that they are closed Sundays because I want to bring all my out-of-town guests here. Their quesabirria tacos are what I come to get when my days are gloomy to bring a bit of sunshine to my life (that sounds dramatic but no, they really are my comfort food). They are always perfectly made. Hot, crispy but gooey and juicy, dipped in the consommé and just dripping with delicious flavors. With the freshness and flavors of the cilantro, onions, and lime. OH! Heavenly. And MESSY. Bring or ask for plenty of napkins because they don't automatically give you enough. I've gotten their quesabirria ramen as well. Incredible, AND IT COMES WITH TWO QUESABIRRIA TACOS ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! Swoon! My husband gets the burritos. He's gotten carne asada and chicken before and thought they were just decently good, a bit "meh," but then he tried a birria burrito and was absolutely drooling. Their birria is just absolutely exceptional and they've got a lifelong customer. Friendly service, accepts cards (but small extra charge), decently fast.

This is the BEST taco truck in Chico! our family eats here atleast 1 a week (conservative estimate)! they're quick the foods great and the facility seems clean and well positioned for parking and safety! plz try these folks they won't disappoint! the lady "In Charge" appreciate and let's you know by remembering your face and any special requests you normally ask for without asking!

so right before closing I ordered a steak supreme burrito no lettuce, i was given a burrito full of soggy rice and beans no meat no cheese no sour cream i also ordered shrimp taco which was disgusting i will be returning first thing in the morning and will not be back.

Quesabirria - wow!
Linda T.

Wow! 1st time ordering here, and wow, the quesabirria was bomb! The dipping sauce was delicious and perfect to the taste. Wait time was a little long. Next time call in to order! Other than that, it was pretty satisfying and I will be going for more!

Boyfriend couldn't wait to take a photo cause it's too good! Birria noodles and queso birria tacos.

If you LOVE food, give it a go. Outdoor seats, the birria is their siren song. Before 6pm tho they close early. Nowhere I've tried in town does queso birria tacos as good as them. Crispy taco with cheese , onion, meat and a beef broth au jus. Or birria noodles! Omg.

One steak one chicken taco with grilled pepper on each. Delicious
Austin 1.

Amazing Mexican street food. Tacos are tiny but only $1 a piece! Super quick and friendly service, very clean trailer in a good location. If you're craving Mexican food, stop by this place and give these guys a shot, you won't regret it!!

Their truck
Larry G.

Visiting Chico from southern Cal and wanted some Mexican food. Well you know the trucks are usually on point. The staf is super friendly and I had two queso birria tacos with sauce and a horchata. All tasted really good! The truck also has two picnic tables in front.

if I could give 6 stars.I would.. this place is absolutely phenomenal. I've had many different types of birria, and I've definitely become a fan of it! I recently tried the Ramen Birria and had my taste buds blown away! The flavor, the meat, everything is so delicious and well cooked! I just moved into town and this is my third time here! I would definitely recommend‼ skip the line and call ahead, or order on doordash for a pickup, no fee.

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

Well Mas Amor was amazing - meat is tender and flavorful and the consume is tasty and has some good flavor! Order the BIRRIA!! I should have asked for extra cilantro and onion but we had a wonderful lunch! The decor is so cute and the lighting is calming and nice. Love the artwork super creative and beautiful pieces! 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. The dishes were great and so was the food - I highly recommend trying them out I'm sure the rest of the food is good too! Can't wait to try more from the menu. They have a food truck also off of Nord - will have to try that too!!

Prices were on point $3 for each taco and chips and quacamole well worth the $11+. Homemade tortillas with fajitas were good. Not so good-waitress was nice but never came back to refill our waters and the fajita tasted way too salty. Maybe I'll try again next time I'm in town and see if we can get more stars for this?

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!

Also, I dont give 5 stars easily and this was easily a 5 star Tacos: my buddy got the tacos cause he said he wasnt that hungry. Tbf, still looks good, idk his opinions on it Super burrito: so no wet burritos on the menu, you have to pay 3$ extra to make a burrito of your choice to be wet. 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
