    Breakfast burrito

    The señor and señora at the location were very nice and welcoming, their burrito was very good they even brought us out extra sauce for our burritos. Thank you and I will be back!

    Al pastor & cabeza. Taco special is $6 for 5 tacos.

    Excellent prices, speedy service. Cash or Venmo only. Limited seating area but it's a taco truck so...

    Tacos are soooo good here. I ordered one of each: chicken, carne asada, Al pastor. I can't decide which was my fav. All were good. The tortillas are soft and didn't tear. Tender meat. Seasoned well. And only $1.25 each. Can't wait to come back

    Their supreme farne asada burrito is delicious. I took my first bite out of that and felt the sauce inside my mouth and it was good. This is a place I would recommend for sure and their tacos are also great.

    This is best taco truck in town. The food is excellent and the owners are really nice

    Delicious

    One of the best mexican food place around the chico area! Even though it's a taco truck without much space to sit and eat, I would still rather get my carne asada burrito from here than any sit down restaurant in town. The prices are also very cheap for the large portions they give you. It is worth a try!

    One of my favorite places to eat. The burritos are a bit greasy but have great flavor. Service is fast. Not really any complaints here.

    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!

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?

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!!
