    Chicken burrito w/hot salsa

    This has got to be the fastest truck in Chico, delicious not dry shredded chicken, reasonable prices and the portion is on point

    Kristina B.

    Delicious. Meat is exceptional. Service was extremely quick. My go to is a carne asada quesadilla with everything. We also love the tacos ! Try one of every meat! Decent seating area. Obsessed with this place.

    Love this truck and they've catered two events for me. Everyone has loved them. They even provided food not on the menu for my party.

    Their chicken quesadillas are delicious. I'm still getting used to ordering the right things to go along with it. The service is quiet.

I've know Tom (chef) for a min from when we worked at Big Tuna together, so I knew the food would schmack but, I was shookith at how much it actually schmacked. Best sushi for the price by far. Hibachi plates go crazy. Haven't had his sushi bowls yet, but I know that they hit just from the pics and word of mouth. If you ain't done tried it, you missin' out big time. Get ya self a roll and hibachi plate, you won't be disappointed.

Steak hibachi was on point great flavor and the red rice! Amazing so good and fresh - loved how the veggies were cooked too nice and tender but not mushy! The sauce was perfect also which added that nice touch. Okay the crunch bowl - WOW! So the tempura is perfectly cooked and the amount of avocado was fabulous! And it might seem like just white rice but it's perfect! Oh and the gyoza - they were literally perfectly cooked! We will go back and try some other goodies! Thank you for making amazing food!

    We stopped for a late lunch at The Ranch Hand yesterday. I had high expectations based on what I've…read moreheard about their burgers, and I was not disappointed! I ordered the Heeler (because blue cheese, duh) and my partner ordered the Cowboy. I was pleasantly surprised that burgers came with fries... these days, most places try to up-charge any side. My partner is kind of a burger snob and he said he'd give it a 7.5/10... but his favorite burger is from 5th Street Steakhouse, so the competition is stiff Lol I would say it was a 9/10 for me. The highs? The gourmet bun was toasted and branded with their logo, the produce was fresh, the bacon was hot off the grill, and the entire thing was cooked to order. The slight misses? I ordered the sea salt & vinegar fries and they were too salty for me... and that's saying something because I love salt. The burger patty was also a much leaner beef than we expected... and while "my health journey" appreciates that, it wasn't super juicy or tender, despite being cooked to a perfect level of doneness. All that to say: I'll for sure be back... I love to shop small and support local, and it's much easier to do when businesses like this are putting out such good quality eats!

    Meh But maybe off day…read more Great service Pricing was good - $14 for burger with fries Lots of options - nuggets for kids is a win and they were good Fries were good But burger was over cooked They had a lot going on So giving 4 instead of 3
