Amigos De Acapulco — Restaurant in Chico

Turns out Amigos de Acapulco were not very friendly at all when it came to ingredients in their fairly expensive Nachos Combinados, $12.99 +. When one reads the ingredients list is easy to be sold, three kinds of meat, bean, cheese, tomatoes, etc etc. I fully understand that this particular dish is kind of Americanize over the years, had them where they truly shine and mostly in their more mediocre appearance. Impressed by the many glowing reviews attesting to this place excellence, but also aware of the risk of getting shorted in the end, threw the dices and played the odds. What arrived to the table was visibly cut short from their advertised page. Only one meat mostly, not too bad Carnitas, but hey?! where are the other 2? Away in vacation in Acapulco! No jalapeños which basically is mandatory, and the overly friendly host never reappeared to ask for some. Plate relatively small, ingredients way below par, with the exception of the very thin sour cream. Carnitas get old fast, and they controlled the protein army to ghastly results. The point is that one a restaurant is given almost 5 stars, they have to act and dispense food like it, and sadly the oily several tortillas and the accompaniment failed dismally. 2.5 Stars. Companion opted for Carne Asada Sope, $4.99+? Female comensal, possibly due to the munchies, lavished praises to what appeared to me an average sope. 4 Stars. Total $20, for what I definitely disagree deserves such high accolades. Service initially very effusive, place basically empty except for a table that for a brief spell remain occupied. Water nice, bathroom clean. At...

I absolutely love this restaurant! I consider myself a connoisseur of the Mexican food available in Chico, and this is easily a place that is among the best here! The veggie burrito is really affordable, less than $5, but comes with cheese and avocado! The wet burrito and the California burrito are awesome and will keep you full for most of the day. It's a family owned restaurant, and the people who work here are exceptional at providing quality and quick service, and they are also very courteous and respectful. They have a taco truck too which serves the exact same food at the restaurant, but they're currently relocating it, so stay tuned on that... Bottom line: Delicious, authentic Mexican food at an affordable price served in a nice atmosphere by...

Amigos catered my wedding!

We absolutely love their food. Staple sides like rice and beans can feel like afterthoughts at some places, but they are excellent here. We get their breakfast burritos all the time. There is a good vegetarian section on the menu.

For our wedding, we asked for a taco bar. All the food was fresh and delicious. We had multiple comments about it being some of the best food they've had at a wedding. I'm happy that the workers were able to get in on the fun and take photos with us, it really felt like we had family over.

We don't live in Chico anymore, but any time we're back we will be stopping here. Thank you so much to...
