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!!

She seemed bothered taking our order because we were a party of 10. Other than that, everything else was excellent.

The pork chile verde burrito and carnitas burrito were big, tightly wrapped, and packed with flavor--the pork was juicy, the tortilla chips are made in-house, and even the foil wrap held up perfectly. The chips with their green and red salsas caseras were excellent, and the jamaica agua fresca was refreshing. The space is large with plenty of parking, colorful murals outside, and on weekends you can see the wood-fired spit grilling chicken and other meats al carbón. Friendly service, fresh flavors, and an authentic vibe--this place truly impressed us and is worth the stop.

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

We found it by accident and were impressed by the menu, but the food was just not good. We ordered the shrimp ceviche plate ($19.99), chile relleno/chicken enchilada plate ($18.50), and fish ceviche tostada ($7.50). The ceviche was basically a pico de gallo, lacked flavor and salt/spice, and the shrimp appeared and tasted to have been canned- tiny and scarce- really couldn't tell there were any shrimp at all. Didn't realize it would be so watery, so if you choose to try the ceviche tostada, you might wanna get to the tostada shell before it gets soggy. The enchilada sauce lacked flavor and the cheese was grainy and mushy; the chile relleno- the chile was soggy, flavorless, and not at all firm, and the cheese quickly seized up like a thick glue and was also flavorless. They have a chips and salsa bar where you serve yourself. Unfortunately, the chips had no salt; the salsa options were decently flavored. The jalapenos had flavor. Customers pay when they order at the counter and I was charged a $.75 "No Cash Fee" for using my credit card (probably standard, yeah?). Like most places these days, the lowest tip option is 15%, which I selected to give the benefit of doubt. Lastly, I had to wipe the bench before sitting, and the chair back was sticky when I pulled it out to sit down. This was probably the worst almost-$60 I've ever spent on food that looked so promising. And as I said, I really don't enjoy giving poor reviews, but maybe this will help someone make a decision.
