    Quesadilla Tacos
    Kristina B.

    Fun atmosphere! Enjoy the sit down. Ordered the Quesadilla tacos (the photo was different than the plate I got), but it was delicious with the dipping juices. You can switch up the meat, but I went with the original shredded beef. The rice was delicious, didn't care for the beans. Could definitely be supplied with more chips and salsa, because who doesn't love chips and salsa. I would 100% come here again :)

    The same delicious food from the food truck but now in a cute sit down taqueria near the movie theater. Had tacos but had to try the quesabirria egg rolls. So good. The patio is going to be hoppin once it warms up. Come grab a beer and some food.

    Great! Wonderful ambiance, super friendly and fast service, as well as delicious food. My husband comes from the the Central Valley, where great Mexican food is everywhere. Since moving here it's been tough to find a place that has both great food, great salsa and great atmosphere. He's called it the "Chico curse" but El Lider broke that curse! Ambiance: The atmosphere was beautiful. The art, the booths and music. They had it all. Food: We tried a burrito and a three taco plate so we could sample most of their meats. The pastor was crispy and flavorful without being overly greasy. The asada was grilled, tender and packed with flavor as well. Went really well with their mild salsa. The chicken was simple but juicy. Perfect for their green sauce (which might have been my favorite of the 3 salsas we tried). Lastly their carnitas, simple, juicy and again flavorful without being greasy. All made wonderful tacos and burritos! Service: The gentleman who seated us and took care of us was very friendly and nice. Checked in on us often but wasn't annoying about it. He always seemed to be there at just the right time and knew exactly what we needed. Couldn't have been better!

    Inside

    Love the inside staff are super friendly. Large menu. I ordered 3 tacos and a side of rice and beans. My favorite in order was carnitas, carne asada, then the birria. Rice and beans were excellent

    Food was bland very disappointing. Burrito was cold and the chips were stale. The tortilla for the burrito was undercooked as well.

    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

Plates are huge, I've tried so many things on the menu & have never been disappointed. Some favorites are the molcajete & birria tacos! When you sit down you're greeted with chips, salsa & bean dip. Spicy margaritas are top notch. Keep this place in business!

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!

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!!

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
