“Very good experience. The Owner accommodated our vegetarian dietary preferences and helped us in the right way ! The food was also very fresh and tasty, would recommend to all.“

“My daughter told me to go here. I got 3 asada tacos, they were fantastic!!! $2 each, a total of $6!!! These were not fantastic for the price, they were fantastic. The atmosphere wasn't the best, but they serve with the best smiles, and that's better than any physical atmosphere!!!“

“super burrito de carne asada y el pastor los nachos great food and prices me encanta su comida y la gente que trabajan son muy amables“

“We were randomly driving through Chico and wanted to find the taco shop. This place was a delightful find! The chicken was cooked in marinated very well, the hot sauce was fresh and delicious, The service was quick and nice and the ambience was cute and colorful! I definitely recommend it!“

“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!“

“Absolutely the BEST taco truck in Chico! Tacos, pupusas, tamales and so much more! The rice and beans are the icing on the cake with any entree and the owners are super friendly too😎 I love how quickly I get my food and it’s always hot and fresh. If I could eat there every day I’d be the happiest person on the planet. Thank you guys so much for consistently serving me delicious food with a great attitude 👌“

“The all meat and veggies burrito is such a great menu item, and I can't say I've seen it anywhere else. I had the carnitas, which I'd like to add, is CRISPY, like carnitas is SUPPOSED TO BE! It was phenomenal. Probably the only taco truck I'm going to in Chico from now on... And somehow cheaper by about 30% than most of the others in town.“

“Cute decor and delicious fresh house made food!“

“I got food poisoning here from the shrimp cocktail and oysters with ceviche. 10 days of sickness... I did call the Health Department when I discovered the leftovers ate through the Styrofoam container.“

“The Best fish tacos! Yummie. Great service and atmosphere. The servers are friendly and a pleasure to be around. lightening fast service. 10+“

“Great food, great location, and great people“

“Beautiful little restaurant!! I was expecting mediocre food, but the kitchen crew did an outstanding job! The food was flavorful, I ordered a torta, and the bread was soft but crisp at the edges, with soft meat (surprisingly with NO NERVES) and their salsas and complementary salsa table just hit the spot.
The only thing is that it is situated next to a gasoline station, so there’s like 7 parking spots total, otherwise there is free street parking. (There should always be one or two spots open as most clients order to-go)“

“Always delicious, fast, inexpensive and amazing customer service! My whole family loves this place“

“A great place to go if you’re looking for affordable food that is also tasty. They have great breakfast burritos and a flavorful green salsa. This place also makes the best Horchata you will find for miles. You can call and order ahead which is nice. There’s a small outdoor eating area but very limited parking. It’s definitely more of a to-go type of restaurant. I love that even if you only order a single taco they always include lime, radish, and salt. The little gestures matter so much.“

“Not for the first time we catered a dinner from La Familia. They never disappoint, always serving up fresh and yummy food. A big salad, enchiladas, queso dias, rice and beans, chips and salsa with hot sauce and sour cream. We were stuffed!“

“Yum! Had EJ’s at Secret Trail a few times. Always great. I’ve had the shrimp burrito and veggie burrito. I lived in San Diego for a long time and if this truck were there, it would STILL be my go-to burrito place. I feel really lucky that they are In Chico. Also, the people working here are always really nice. Tip: Might want to split a burrito with someone, it’s a ton of food.“

“Sweet little lady at the counter, & the carnitas burrito had crispy meat (which I love), add cheese and sour cream and a side of spicy salsa and you are in heaven! Best burrito I've had in awhile! Authentic and yummy! Wish I found this place sooner.“

“Great place to eat. Great and friendly people. Really great food and the selection is great!“

“Always friendly, Always the BEST food! We dine in quite often, for both Lunch and dinner! My hubby and I both Love it!!!“

“Buena comida, Mexicana, y muy buena atención por los propietarios..👍❤“

“I love that this dude's burrito stand has a listing on Google. I lived off of these burritos for a while and they are way too good for the price. I highly recommend pirating a textbook or two so you can afford one of these every day like I did.“

“Excellent food and service! Love their shrimp tacos and their carnitas!“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with the North State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with their commitment to supporting the Hispanic and minority business community. From the moment I reached out to them, I was met with a warm and welcoming response, and it was clear that they genuinely care about helping businesses thrive. The Chamber's team is comprised of knowledgeable and dedicated professionals who are passionate about promoting economic growth and creating opportunities for Hispanic entrepreneurs. They offer a wide range of resources and services, including great monthly networking events! What I appreciate most about the North State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is their emphasis on community. They foster a sense of belonging and collaboration among members, and it's clear that they prioritize building relationships and creating a supportive environment for all. It's inspiring to see how much they have accomplished in a relatively short amount of time, and I have no doubt that they will continue to make a significant impact on the Hispanic and minority business community for years to come. If you are a Hispanic or minority business owner or entrepreneur looking to connect with like-minded individuals and take your business to the next level, I highly recommend reaching out to the North State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. They are an exceptional organization, and I am grateful for the opportunities they give our community.“

“Favorite taco truck in Chico! The quesadilla is one of the best around! Reminds me of an elevated crunch wrap but 10x better. My go to is a spicy supreme veggie burrito, excellent flavor in the rice and beans & plenty of heat. The owners are incredibly kind as well!“

“Received catering for 50 people and added hand made tortillas and it was absolutely delicious!! The salsas were great ! Spicy !! My whole family raved about the food and we will definitely order again for a future event !!“

“Fue Mi Primera Vez Probando Los Tacos Y Están Súper Ricos 100% Recomendados“

“Cute decor and delicious fresh house made food!“

“Awesome! Tacos made fast and with the perfect amount of seasoning. Tortillas were soft which I personally like but find difficult to find. Light service and speedy delivery. Nice picnic tables to sit at with shaded umbrellas. Definitely going to be putting this one on our comeback again soon list.

I personally appreciate the fact that they advertise local events in the area, a real community supporter.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! Large portions and the price was great! Our waitress was very friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be returning when I'm in Chico again.“

“I am beyond impressed with Aca Taco. This place was recommended to me by friends who have been everywhere and are super selective—who said this place has the best authentic Mexican food in Chico. They were right. This is seriously the best Mexican food offered in Chico! I had a graduation party for my cousin with about 15 people to serve. I placed a lengthy detailed order online the day before for scheduled pick up on Saturday, and I got a huge discount for being a first-time customer. Their customer service is phenomenal—personable and helpful. They knew exactly who was picking up and all about the order. And we pretty much ordered a little bit of everything. The serving sizes were incredibly large, and everything was so fresh and cooked to perfection. I will be ordering again, and again, and again.“

If you haven’t experienced Westside Pizza, are you even living? Because this place doesn’t just serve pizza — it delivers pure, cheesy, life-affirming joy in a box.

Let’s start with the food. The crust? Golden. Perfectly balanced between crispy and fluffy, like it was handcrafted by carb-loving angels. The sauce? Bright, rich, and bold — the kind that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod in silent respect. And the cheese? A glorious, stretchy masterpiece that deserves its own slow-motion entrance music. Every topping tastes outrageously fresh, piled high with generosity that feels almost rebellious in today’s world. Whether it’s a classic pepperoni, a fully-loaded specialty pie, or those dangerously addictive breadsticks, every single bite feels like it was made with intention and pride.

But the real secret ingredient at Westside Pizza isn’t just what comes out of the oven — it’s the owner.

The owner radiates the kind of warmth and dedication you don’t see often anymore. You can feel their passion the second you walk through the door. They don’t just run a pizza place; they cultivate a community. They greet customers like old friends, remember names, ask about your day, and somehow make you feel like you’re the most important person in the building — even during the dinner rush. That level of care seeps into everything: the perfectly timed orders, the upbeat energy of the staff.

It’s the rare combination of phenomenal food and a genuinely exceptional human being behind the counter that elevates Westside Pizza from “great local spot” to “legendary neighborhood institution.”

In a world of average takeout, Westside Pizza stands tall, proudly cheesy, and unapologetically excellent. Five stars aren’t enough. This place deserves fireworks.“

“best place to get authentic Mexican food for a good price.loved it back in the day when it was Tacos de Acapulco back in 1997 and love it today as Tacos Mary.The food and Quality has not changed one bit.Yummy as always..😋“

“I have been going to La Comida my whole life and it’s still my favorite Mexican food“

“Such good burritos, and they aren’t stingy they are huge! Such an amazing price! But I only like this one on Park ave and great customer service💗“

“The food is consistently great. So much flavor...been to many trucks around chico and the fall flat on the flavor. This place is the best.“

“Just ordered carne asada nachos. Brought them home and was so disappointed. Store bought chips with no seasoning, cheese was way down in the pile of chips, salsa was so much, I’m so disappointed as I buy food from them at least once a week and have enjoyed everything I’ve ordered so far except for the nachos I got today. I had 4 bits and threw the rest away. 🥺“

“We love their chicken tacos!“

“Greatest tacos and Birria, there is an all of Butte County maybe in the whole entire North state!! I purposely stopped at random taco trucks and taco places to find the best of the best! And here if I could give them 10 stars, I would the manager it was immediately cool when I walked in. I suggested the Queabria tacos. And the ramen!! And I will forever be a top notch fan of this place!! I live 35 minutes away. I'm gonna drive here twice a week now.“

“Amazing Margaritas and a very friendly staff. It was a great time 🥰“

“Always(!!) friendly service and always(!!) good food! So far every meat and variety of food we have tried is delicious and we’ve been coming since they opened! The salsas and chips are great too, which can make or break good Mexican food! ;)“
