    Sample of Friday dinner
    Dean T.

    This truck ROCKS!!!! Tuesday and Friday are awesome!!! Great daily specials too. Pretty much our go to place! Birria Quesadillas Adobada

    Found a bottle cap in my chorizo burrito..
    Pochua V.

    Found a bottle cap in my chorizo burrito.. This is the 2nd time they messed up my order. First was last year where they didn't add steak to my steak burrito. Sounds like that is something that happens from time to time if you look at the google reviews. I boycotted them for a year, but thought I'd give them a second chance because they are located next to where I live (out of convenience). I see new workers here so I was hoping for a different experience. I'm very disappointed. The quality control is just as bad as it was last time... I'm never coming back.

    Pastor and carne asada tacos
    Jennifer L.

    Oh man, I have been on the SEARCH for some quality street tacos. I recently discovered this truck and THEY DELIVER. | l o c a t i o n | Abundant parking in the nearby lot. The seating area has a couple of picnic tables and is covered. I usually just grab my food to-go though. | f o o d | Eat to your heart's content because they have tortas, tostadas, burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, and fries! I always get carne asada and pastor tacos. Their pastor is actually the best I have had in town. Also, if you come on Friday evenings/nights, they have the pastor spit going on outside of the truck which is very nostalgic of my taco-eating days in LA :') I also have tried their carne asada fries and appreciate that they use shredded cheese instead of the nacho cheese. They also offer all the salsas you can help yourself to on the side! | t l ; d r | Service + food always on POINT. New favorite taco truck! 11/10 recommend :)

    Meat Taco (adobada)

    BOMB.COM I definitely recommend this taco truck. My husband and I got two California burritos de Al pastor, they were a great size, big and full. The salsa were both (red & green) delicious. We also got some tacos on the side and they were so good. I didn't get to take a picture of all the food but I got a picture of a taco. The wait time for our food was about 7-10mins not bad at all. The ladies were very nice and helpful! Thanks for our amazing dinner tonight! #supportlocal

    This truck is HUGE!!
    Jessica W.

    Great food, awesome service. Lots of options from tacos to burritos to bowls. Tasty asada and pastor. I'll be back to try out more. Annnd, they're open until 9pm.!! My subsequent visits were just ok...more 3 star than 4. A bit pricier and not as flavorful as other options in town. They need to step it up to regain my stars.

    Bomb!

    I live right down the way from Tacos El Lider. As I come to find out,taco trucks serve equal or…read morebetter food than businesses built in freestanding buildings.So I've ate at this taco truck 5 times to get a read on the consistency of the food and services. Let me start with the area where this taco is located? 2819 Esplanade, just North of Eaton Road, set off to the right hand side of Esplanade this side of DeGarmo Park. In a gated area, gravel and dirt, with plenty of parking. The place is brand new and has the appearance of cleanliness and quality presentation choices. I'm doing details so you can't miss the place. So after five times choosing to eat their food, I finally thought to help promote Tacos El Lider by writing a review. Why, because the taste is unique with taste and preparation. Not overbearing and balanced for your choices to add peppers or sauces to preference. I'm a believer in clean preparation and great taste. Hispanic/Latino foods are specific to where the management learned their craft. Really, don't you like original tasting food where everything considered is for the customer's delight? Yes!!! Because Tacos El Lider is new, it is still sharp and crisp looking which is a sign for quality presentation! Are you hungry and curious to find out for yourself? Your ability to go out, get in your car, head in the right direction,and check out the layout. Nice trailertruck, medium aggregate under sturdy chairs and tables with a sun roof to protect you from the sun. I'll shoot some pictures to show the colors are fresh and most recent. GPS the location as it is on the map going North on Esplanade. Just past Tonea Way and D&E Auto Repair, right before DeGarmo Park.On your GPS for sure. I thought only Hector and Jackie worked their, but most recently was served by an alternate couple of very nice people who served me a very nice burrito. Probably Hector's parents, I'm not sure?!? Hey, see how clean and presentable the settings are, turn your car in a comfortable spot, park, get out to check out the surroundings. It's a little off set, but very doable. I want the taste and quality for my money and I got what I paid for!?! Come give it a try? What do you have to lose? Next visit will be the seventh time because I didn't get my business card last stop, the people working were very nice but I forgot to get my "10 purchases and I get something", a good promotion for Tacos El Lider. They are new, clean, friendly, plenty of parking and they just need you to take a leap of faith? Your taste buds will tell the story! Afterall, I'm a return customer. I do Yelp reviews as I have done in the past. Only after testing the food for all concerns? Easy access, pleanty of parking, nice solid seating, with a sunroof, menus, a personal beeper when your order is up, easy service with a smile. You'll be back because going to offbeat food services are sometimes the best? Make up your own mind? GPS , Tacos El Lider and follow your prompters or the address, whichever is comfortable for you. You count most of all, so go treat yourself to my neighborhood's newest members for quality foods

They have recently been added to the Secret Trail Brewing Company's food pop up rotations on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. I wanted to try all the meats but settled with the pulled pork sandwich topped with pig candy coleslaw and a side of German potato salad. + The sandwich's flavor was great. The pulled pork, coleslaw, and house made bbq sauce married perfectly. I struggled for a bit to find the bits of "pig candy" but when you do, it just adds another layer of texture and porkiness to the sandwich. + The German potato salad was not what I expected. Instead of mayonnaise, it's mixed with vinegar making it a welcomed, acidic accompaniment to the sandwich. - They were a bit slow to start off. I arrived around 4; they needed another 30 minutes. - I don't think they are fully equipped to handle the weather outside for a food stand as my pulled pork could've been warmer. I'm rooting for y'all! All in all the food was delicious, the issues are minor and could be improved over time.

Now that they are inside the Chico State BSS building instead of their [adorable and iconic] renovated trailer, they have a lot more space, a full posted menu, and some more staff to assist. UPDATE: They are no longer closing for lunch - woohoo! My wish come true. (Original: My only "complaint" - not really a complaint, I totally respect it, just want to caution people - is that they close for lunch 11:30-12. I hope at some point they are able to take breaks in shifts and stay open. But that's just me being greedy because they're so awesome.) Local business with locally sourced coffee from Stoble. I've also seen posts where they cater events in their little trailer or post up at markets and such around town. Follow their instagram to see where they are at other times, or contact them if you want them at an event (honestly, I'd want them there just for the aesthetic!). FAVE DRINKS: * My favorite is the strawberry matcha with dairy whole milk - nice and frothy. Large 'cause I practically inhale that thing. * She's misheard me before and I've gotten strawberry matcha with oat milk which is good, but I've found oat milk version is just not the same without that froth. Totally worth it though if you can't or prefer not to have dairy. * I've also really liked the spring 2025 special tiramisu cold brew with some extra cold foam. Hours as of February 2025 is Monday through Thursday 7:30-3:30.

If you care about regenerative agriculture and nutrient density, this is the gold standard for Northern California. The absolute standout for me was MyHarvestValley.com . I'm a huge advocate for soil health, and their regenerative walnuts are a masterclass in what happens when you treat the land right. You can actually taste the difference, it's not just a snack; it's high-quality fuel. I ended up spending quite a bit of time there just appreciating the transparency of their process. Beyond the walnuts, the entire market is a treasure trove: The Meat & Produce: I was struck by the selection of properly raised meats and organic produce. Finding proteins raised with this much integrity is rare, and the variety of healthy eating choices made it easy to load up for the week. The Nursery Finds: I didn't expect to be scouted for my garden, but I saw some of the prettiest Japanese maple starts I've ever laid eyes on. The health and structure of those starts were stunning. The Vibe: It's rare to find a market that balances such a wide variety of specialty goods while maintaining that authentic, community-focused energy. This isn't just a place to shop; it's where you go to support the people doing the hard work of regenerative farming. I'm officially a regular.

    Wonderful farmers market…read more EBT!!! First thing I have to mention, ebt is amazing here. Compared to Old Oakland farmers market which had a VERY long line for the ebt exchange. Over here, there was not a single line. The lady also explains to you how the ebt works but I can explain as well from what I understand. The lady will ask you how much you want to exchange, this is wherr I dont understand too much but she mentions a limit of 15$ and you can go over the limit but it goes over? Im not sure. I just did 15$. She gives you the device, you swipe, she gives you receipt and the coins.... AND some bills. Each coin and each bill is equal to 1 dollar. And idk if this was an accident but I swiped 15$, on my acc, lost 15$, but she gave me 15$ in coins AND 15$ in bills. So anyways, if this isnt a mistake, this means ebt gives you twice as much as you pay for in farmers market The bills as she explains it, only works on fruits and veggies. The coins work on anything that isnt a hot food. Lots of places to buy some fruits. Some places had a lot huge selection of heirloom tomatoes while some smaller selection. 2 stalls that sold figs. Of course no shortage of fruits and veggies over here For hot foods, tamale stall that also sold other dishes, burrito truck, empanada stall, They also have a coffee stall cause of course. Apparently people talk about chai tea, idk exactly where it is but I did see people walking with a light colored drink. The crowds arent as bad as people mention. I went on Saturday in the morning at 10am. Still a lot of people but as someone who's been to Shibuya Japan, its nothing at all. There are 4 long lanes to walk on and each surrounded by stalls I couldnt show it in the pic but I also bought a fruit danish for 5$ that I ate as I walked around. Absolutely delicious danish, the bread part was crispy outside but cheey inside. (Usually grocery stores danish can be more on the softer side) 5/5 ebt totally worth it
