" I recently discovered this taco truck and I must say, it's a hidden gem in Chico! The carne asada burrito was packed with flavor, the meat was tender and juicy, and the salsa had just the right amount of heat. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions too! The owners are incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome right away. I'll definitely be back to try more of their offerings. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos here were some of the best I've had in a while! I was very impressed with the al pastor. The meat was juicy and had a beautiful grill mark; the salsa added great flavor and some heat. I also loved how fresh everything tasted; the onions and cilantro really made it sing. The service was impeccable; the owners are so sweet. I can’t wait to return and bring friends along to share this wonderful find! " (*Curated Review*)

" Typically, taco trucks can be hit or miss, but Tacos El Paisa is consistently fantastic! Their tacos de asada are a must-try; the meat is cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I had some reservations about trying the al pastor based on other reviews stating it was bland, but I was pleasantly surprised; it had a nice flavor that paired well with their spicy salsa. The owners are friendly, it's clean, and I think I’ve finally found my go-to taco truck here in Chico! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Paisa is hands down my favorite taco truck! Their tacos are bursting with flavor, and each ingredient seems thoughtfully chosen to create a delicious balance. The first time I visited, I also tried the burritos and was amazed by how well they mixed the ingredients. There is nothing worse than biting into a burrito and getting primarily rice! Here, you get meat, beans, and the right amount of everything. The prices are reasonable, and the owners are so genuine and kind. Not to mention, the nostalgia of this place brings back memories of the tacos I had as a kid. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequented Tacos El Paisa during my college years, and it still holds true to my memories. The tacos are just as delicious as I remember—great seasoning and freshly made tortillas. The price is also unbeatable! Their service is why I keep coming back; the owners truly care about their customers, and it shows in every interaction. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)
