Nestled in the bustling corner of Esplanade and E Lassen, this hidden gem of a food truck offers a tantalizing experience for taco enthusiasts. With swift and friendly service, ordering from this local eatery is a breeze. I opted for their taco plate, a steal at 5 for $7. Each taco was a flavor explosion, packed with savory goodness. I’ve only had the tacos from here but i’m sure everything is just as good or even better!!While I usually pass on the extra veggies, the onions served on the side were irresistible. Their crispness and subtle sweetness complemented the savory meat perfectly, adding an extra layer of texture and flavor to each bite. It was a delightful surprise that left me craving more.The quality of the food combined with the affordable prices makes this food truck a must-visit for any taco aficionado. I found myself planning my next visit before I had even finished my meal. With such a satisfying experience, I have no doubt that I'll be returning very soon.In conclusion, if you're in the mood for delicious tacos served with a smile, look no further than this food truck on Esplanade and E Lassen. It's a true local gem worth seeking out.

I ordered QuesaBirria from this place when I was in Town. I must say it did not disappoint. The Birrias were sooooooo good. Definitely coming back here whenever I'm visiting again.Parking: It is a food truck in a parking lot in a residential area, so there are enough spaces to park and street parking too

Best Ramen Birria ever!! They already know my order when I call ahead and their Agua de Pepino ? is to die for!! Crispy grilled shrimp tacos are one of a kind. You wont find another taco truck with the same qualities, flavors and friendliness that Tacos Lider has. 100% have to try them!!

Best quesabirria ever! I stepped out of my norm because I heard it was good birria. This is the only taco wagon I want to go to now and it's all about the quesabirria tacos. The hours could be better (later) and they need consistency in their totals. I order the same thing every time, cash pay, and the amount is always different and they can't count change. Drives me a little bonkers but the food is soooo good it is worth it.

This is a mobile taco truck. They are located just off the Esplanade more like on West Lassen. They have a couple picnic tables out front and plenty of parking.I enjoy food trucks so had to give this one a try. It was delicious! I had a chicken burrito and the flavor was amazing. It was around $8 and quite large. They offer many options to choose from. My husband had the vegy burrito and it was a bit bland compared to mine. My daughter had the birria burrito and loved it! I see many reviews about the birria. I'll have to try it next time.Service is pretty quick, even during rushes. Give it a try!

The Quesabirria burrito is one of the best burritos I've ever had. If you're thinking about trying it, pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed! Severed with broth, delicious! I also had the Quesabirria tacos and they're amazing too <3

This has definitely been one of my top tacos trucks in chico, I hadn't been in awhile, but decided to go yesterday evening 12/28/23.I called in to order ahead like normal, the lady left me on the phone for over 5 min while we drove there until I hung up. We get there and it's absolutely not busy with nobody there, and I get to the window and politely tell her she left me on hold, and she was so rude and very unapologetic about it. Literally said sorry, what can I get for you without even making eye contact? Even tho I was polite and understanding about it.PLUS! I found a hair in my quesadilla later on. And I definitely made sure it was a hair before I jumped to conclusions. I'm not sure who was working that night but they definitely shouldn't have been.

One of the cheapest taco food truck around town. They got FB deals off their foods. Food are delicious, not too dry or salty or over cook. 3rd time there so far. Very friendly staffs, the ordering guy always make funny comments on the microphone. Great parking. Not too busy.
