Birrieria Barajas — Restaurant in Chico

I’ve been here at least 20 times and always got great service and tacos. until today. I ordered six tacos and waited over 30 minutes while people who came in 15 minutes after me were served first. When I politely reminded the chef, he snapped, said I had an “attitude,” and told me to take it outside. Jet trying to fight me. Completely unnecessary. I just left. No refund or tacos. The guy even had a tear drop tattoo and looked obviously high-which I wouldn’t normally care about, but it makes you wonder how often food gets messed with just because someone rubs them the wrong way. I’m just a regular 20-year-old trying to get some tacos, not start a fight. Super disappointing to see the place fall off after so many good experiences. And the dude had the nerve after to walk up to my car window and then tell me to not come back while slurring his words, as if I ever...

Tucked away in the Ray's Liquor parking lot, directly across from Tacos El Paisa and Burger King, lies this little taco stand. Unimposing at 1st glance, this is a true gem!

If I have to rate the meats, I would go: #1 Birria, #2 chicken, #3 carne asada, #4 carnitas, #4 al pastor. The shrimp are my next option. YOUR option would be to just...

I live less than a block away, and go here fairly often. I like that they are open late. The food is pretty good, not super consistent but keep in mind they just opened. I wish they kept the salsa bar better stocked, and maybe offered chips. I also think the menu could use some simplification. Overall I think they could take the place of Tacos Mary if they really try. I also noticed the Google posting for this doesn’t show up very high on the list when I search “food near me” even though I’m 100ft from it. Definitely needs some fine tuning, but I trust the owner Tony will make this place a...
