Tacos El Pinolero Chico Reviews
If you love authentic Mexican food this is the SPOT! The staff is amazing and they have so many wonderful options to choose from. Parking is nice for big trucks even if you have a trailer which is nice for us in the construction field. Give this place try, and thank me later!
My second favorite burrito truck of all time. The carnitas is where it’s at and they are usually very fast. The burrito has a great salsa that develops well in the mouth and I’m very happy they don’t over use beans and rice.
These plesse is hidden but food is worth going had the Cheese quesadillas two of them going back soon

Very fast service. Corn tortillas. Barbacoa is delicious
Long time fan, these folks are quick efficient and AMAZING FOOD!
Love coming here! Really affordable tacos and great tasting! One of my favorite places for tacos in Chico!
So gas I crashed the whip on my way to get their burritos. I was speeding to get a burro, and well, crashed the whip. The night must goes on y’all.
Another EXCELLENT taco truck! Tacos are amazing and inexpensive. I love their al pastor, my wife loves the carne asada, and our daughter swears by the bean,cheese and rice burritos. They're open later than my usual taco truck ( tacos el tapatio) and the service is outstanding, another group of ladies who know their way around the kitchen! Almost forgot! Great selection of soft drinks (Mexican Coca-Cola, Jarritos, manzana del sol, etc)
Excellent food, 5 stars for me and my wife gives 5 stars also. Great service. This is my new spot. If you haven’t been there yet give it shot, you will not regret it.
Tacos were very delicious. Really recommend to try. Will go again and try the whole menu.
Absolutely the best tacos in Chico. Our family eats here at least twice a week, and it never disappoints.
Same delicious flavor, I was one of their first customers and still love their food and friendly smiles, thank you.
Had not enjoyed their food in years. Dropped by during a road trip. Again, did not disappoint. Tacos del lengua hit the spot. Yes, a great food truck with tables on premises. Highly recommend!
I have eaten here for years. Always friendly and fast service. Great food and a really good price for what you get.
This place is open on Sundays! Delicious food at a reasonable price. Tacos at 1.75$ each is a steal. There's covered seating, but it's outdoors.
Been going here off and on for over 10 years and they are consistent! Food is always solid and same quality you can expect from previous visits. I personally love the all meat veggie burrito, which is basically tostada toppings instead of rice and whatever meat you want. I will say I about the chicken here cuz I personally prefer grilled chicken to how they cook it, but that's just me
I've been going here for 30 years. They were originally in the empty dirt lot across from the Rice Bowl. This place is absolutely fantastic. Same people, same great taste. They did add a carne azada supreme to the menu. I want to try it, but at this point, I feel like it would be like cheating on my wife.

Costumer service was terrible, she charged me for beans and sour cream, but put none on my tacos. When I asked her where’s the beans and sour cream I ordered, she said she had to charge extra. So I went to my bank to see how much she charged, and ofc she did charge me for beans and sour cream but gave me nun. So I walked back up there to confront her, she shrugged her shoulders and gave me 50 cents. I come here a lot of the time, because I work nearby I always tip and show them love. If they treat someone who tips and comes often, imagine how’d they treat you. She has done this multiple times with me and my coworkers and today was just our last straw. Will not be eating here again. I advise you to not eat here as well
