Habanero’s Taqueria Chico Reviews
Was an amazing 65° sunny December day and the tacos that Florencio served me were absolutely mouthwatering and delicious anytime I want taco. This is the stand I will come to. I highly recommend it that El Pastor is my favorite.
Delicious food on the go! Loved my chicken burrito, perfect amount of rice, beans, cilantro, onions, salsa and tender delicious chicken! Update 09/02/2025- another delicious burrito, nice and spicy! Burrito alpastor with cooked jalapeños and habanera 😋
Delicious food, quick service, great portion sizes, super kind people, and they give you a little plate for your dog! 🥰
A great food truck with simple, yet delicious selections. I find that the abbreviated menu makes ordering speedy. All of the dishes are scrumptious, but my favorite is the quesadilla Al Pastor. The prices are reasonable too. I like to add avocado for only 50 cents.
I am addicted to their food! The best authentic Mexican food that I have tasted since I was a child. I live in Oroville and every chance I get to come too chico I take it just so I can stop at my favorite place. I'm very picky on what I eat. I've had a gastric bypass 10 years ago. Most foods do not agree with me. I enjoy and savor every bite, might take me all day to finish it this is one meal I probably won't share. Unless your with me and have never been here. My favorite is the pollo verde cassadella Been a year now, I have tried other trucks, this one is the best, All of their food is fantastic. Come check them!
I have eaten at a lot taco trucks in town and all over the US and this is in my top 5 for steak and Al Pastor tacos. I go at least once a week.
Always really friendly. Food taste great! Love the tacos

I get a burrito here every couple days and no matter the meat choice, it's always good and the food tastes great!! Very consistent on their quality and they'll have a loyal customer for sure!! The only suggestion I'd have is to sell aguas frescas!! They'd match perfectly with the food sometimes more than the sodas but definitely 5 star place!
We arranged with Habanero’s to be a vendor at our recent event. Tacos were delicious and a big hit! They are really nice people and great to work with!
I have gone to Trader Joe’s and passed by this food truck and went “That must be a really good place to eat” and I finally went for the first time and then I went back 3 more times in a two week period. Their burrito supremes are incredible! Portion size is amazing, the staff are super friendly, and the service is fast. Oh, and the food is super delicious - I would recommend this to everyone looking for Mexican food and who want a good deal and good quality!
If you're looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience, this place is an absolute must-visit! The carnitas burritos are truly out of this world—asonings makes them the ultimate comfort food. And don't even get me started on the pollo verde tacos—each taco is loaded with perfectly seasoned chicken, wrapped in a soft tortilla, and topped with fresh ingredients that create the ideal combination of flavors. If you're craving bold, flavorful Mexican food, this spot is a winner!
As good as the one on Esplanade maybe better. Much spicier, lives up to habanero name. Curb side service too. All he needs is an online app.
Excellent food, great prices and very friendly service! One of the best taco trucks I've been to. 10/10 recommended!
I had a Birria Quesadilla and it did not disappoint. The tortilla was nice and crispy with plenty of cheese. The Birria was juicy packed with flavor. You gotta try it!

First time trying their food! My family & I loved what we ordered! Tacos are big & packed with meat! Nachos are delicious & also packed with meat! Burrito bowl is just as yummy as the food previously mentioned! The father & daughter are very friendly, which is a huge plus! We will definitely be returning! 👍

Times have changed and that needs to be addressed. I asked for a burrito with everything on it except beans. I received a burrito with next to no meat lots of rice that was okay but next to no sour cream in fact I don't remember sour cream basically without any real meat, carne asada or asada burrito is wrong. you can tell there's no business at that truck anymore because they're burning people they seem to think they're Taco Bell. Taco super Tanya, 4.9. 5th Street or one way up North on esplanade a little more expensive, or up in Paradise all of those trucks give quality carne asada burritos. Don't fall for this place it deserves less than a 4.4.
I ordered one of each kind. Sorry I forgot to take a picture. So let us begin. Loved, loved, loved the chicken. It had some kind of red sauce. Was not dry. The chicken was not spicy. So my first place. The El Pastor tacos, nice flavor, again some kind of red sauce, not spicy. So my second place. The beef was my least favorite. Again not spicy. (You can ask for spicy salsa). So all in all a good place to visit. Prices are reasonable, to the area.i came on a Saturday after lunch, so it wasn’t busy. The people were very friendly. And brought my food out to me, again because it wasn’t busy. I’m not to sure about the location. Seems like it is a good location. I’m the parking lot next to B of A and Wendy’s. I think I’ll be coming back.

Maybe I got them on a bad day, but this carnitas burrito supreme was nothing but bland rice and beans. I went there based on the reviews, but won't be going back,

In my quest to try every taco truck in Chico, Habanero's was next in line. Ordered a regular asada burrito and a regular pastor burrito. The lady working the register had a wonderful smile and was very nice, she even brought my order out to me when it was ready. Unfortunately the food itself was quite underwhelming. As it seems to be with several other trucks, the burritos were good sized but there was too little meat and way too much rice. The flavors were very tame, bordering on bland, and sadly the asada was mostly gristle. The pastor was juicy but again, not much flavor. Overall, the food was below average but the service was spectacular. With so many other trucks available, I will not be a repeat customer at this one.

Got a supreme burrito that was the same size as my friends regular burrito and my burrito was 95% beans and rice. Do not recommend.
