Tacos El Paisa

Apart from making the best tacos in town, Pepe and his wife are such wonderful people. They catered our wedding and I would go as far as to say they are the best taco truck in town.

The food is fantastic! The pork is on point. The ortiz's make the best pork burrito in town. Very friendly and have been at the same location for atleast 10 years.

Some other places in Chico are more well known and get more recognition but this little truck embodies the spirit of street food - delicious, affordable quality, and they're one of the best. Owners are fantastic people, been in this spot for 24(?) Years and everything is exactly as I remembered from back when I was walking to O'Connell hall every day. Might be a little nostalgia talking but this is an absolute gem of a taco truck and deserves a Best in Chico IMO.

Of all the super burritos I’ve tried in Chico this is easily the best. They DO NOT do the whole “mainly rice/bean with a little meat”. Nope. TONS OF MEAT! All ingredients are mixed. And the price is what you expect to pay for a burrito. I love the owners and the food they create. Mention to make it spicy if you like some heat.

The owners are extremely nice and make great food. The spicy salsa is amazing (the best I’ve ever had) it’s actually spicy and I find myself craving it all the time. The meat is perfectly cooked and they don’t skimp on it either. I’ve tried almost all the taco trucks in Chico and this has to be my favorite.

I never thought I would find a favorite burrito place in Chico until I tried this. Value for money. Looks like they make special recipe of beans - and its so savory!

Best burrito in town IMO. Flavorful and everything meshes well. As for tacos, you can find better options in town.

Hands down the best truck I’ve gotten food from. I’d rather go here than almost anywhere else in Chico.

The people who run this shop are so friendly. This is my favorite place to get a quick cheap meal when i’m too tired to cook. My favorite is the quesadilla with chicken with the extra spicy salsa. 10/10 would reccomend

Excellent taco truck, great food. Burritos and Tortas are top notch. Tacos go without saying. One of the few affordable meals left in town.

I was raised in SoCal and, later, moved to AZ. The shock of not having nearly as many good options for burritos, tacos, albondigas, etc. was nearly enough to kill me. Now, on a visit to Chico, I have found this place to truly be worthy of scratching that itch. Thank you, Tacos El Paisa!

I've been coming here when I can since 2001, and in over 15 years, the burritos are EXACTLY like I remember them from my college days in O'Connell hall. A decade and a half later, and every burrito I have had anywhere is measured against these, and found wanting. Arizona could learn a lot from Tacos El Paisa.

I've decided to find out who has not only the biggest super burrito, but the best tasting as well. About 90% of these so-called super burritos are one outrageously overpriced and two the same size maybe a little bit bigger than their regular burritos. I don't know about you, but when I make my burritos at home I completely fill out that huge flower tortilla. There's nothing like biting in to all tortilla when you're eating a burrito lol. Not only that, but a lot of these places don't fill the burrito in such a way that when you take a bite you're taking a bite out of all of the ingredients inside, not just a bite of rice or strictly a bite of beans or the best one is a big bite of dry ingredients and no salsa (got milk) Their burrito was very flavorful! The ingredients were moderately mixed together. Not only that, but the size to the price was def better then most. Not to mention the tacos were yummy. I would definitely go back to this place as well as recommended it.

My favorite little mom & pop taco truck in Chico. Great tacos, burritos, and other items. The owners are super awesome and friendly.

This place is pretty mid. I got 2 tacos de asada and 2 tacos al pastor. The pastor didn’t really taste like pastor. It needed more spice, seasoning, flavor, it was just kinda bland. The asada was a little bit better, but not to the point where I would go and get another taco there. My friend got a burrito de asada and the meat tasted even more bland because the other ingredients (cilantro, onion, cream) had a stronger flavor than the meat. The lady who attended us was really nice but the food just wasn’t that great, I think I would rather try a new spot than come here again.

Pre made flour tortillas for Street tacos, selection of meat is good including barbacoa and cabeza. A half of a lime for two tacos
