Aztlan Grilled Taqueria

Aztlan’s asada grilled tacos are the best I’ve ever had in my entire life — and I don’t make that claim lightly. I crave them often… which means I end up here at least once a week to scratch the itch. The tortillas are grilled to the happiest medium of both soft & crispy, cheese is melted on the inside of the tortilla which prevents shreds from recklessly falling out with each bite, the meat is so fresh and flavorful, and the taco is overflowing with crunchy lettuce and fresh diced tomatoes. Not to be dramatic, but if I had the foresight to choose a last meal… this would be it.Service is hit or miss depending on who’s working, and honestly that would normally detract from a review I give… but damn, those tacos.

Can't wait till Friday. I feel in love with the ribs and chicken combo with all the fixings. Today we for lunch and I ordered Aztlan asada fries. My wife ordered the grilled tacos with carne asada f#*k&g amazing!!!! 10 all the time and the hefeay (don't know Spanish ) always respectable and outgoing.

First time visiting this Taqueria… The grilled chicken tacos were truly amazing. I enjoyed every bite. I was going to go to La Hacienda but it was closed so I came down the street to this place and I’m glad I did

Always been amazing food. So happy they finally got their big upgraded building. So much room. Beautiful set up. And even a private event room. I hear servicing beer is next! They'll have it all. Worth going!

Nice new digs for a growing business. Very friendly and the guy was Totally in love with what they were doing and liked sharing his enthusiasm. The food was excellent, we had the recommended crispy tacos, good sized and delicious. He was very excited about his friend doing the exterior murals and they were spectacular. Maybe best Mex in Chico!!

They moved to a bigger place next door, same parking lot. You order and then seat yourself. The food came quickly. The portions are generous. Everything was delicious. It's very clean. There is a room you can reserve for parties.

Update ! Management took care of all my issues very quickly and I will definitely be back . Great service absolutely trumps mistakes every time. !!!So I was very very excited to try this place now that I live on this side of town right around the corner . I ordered two shrimp burritos and added steak and Barrilla sauce to dip the burritos in and a cheese quesadilla . It didn’t take to long to put what I thought was my order together I would say 10-15 minutes so again still fine for not calling ahead . When my buzzer to get my food came up I walked to the counter and saw two identical burritos (one was supposed to be either no or lights sour cream I left it up to them which ever was more convenient as sour cream can be a hassle if it’s to cold I was fine with none) but no I got two identical burritos . Ok . But my son’s quesadilla wasn’t there and hasn’t even been started and at this point I will just grab him a burger as I don’t want to be there for a quesadilla to be cooked . Mind you I paid 40 for two burritos with shrimp and steak (full portions of each) . I don’t mind paying that honestly as long as I’m disgustingly full after haha . Or I can split it into two meals . No not the case because after getting my 6 refund for my missing quesadilla and finally got my barilla sauce which one of the containers the lid was barely on so it just ended up in the bag and all over my car . I thought for sure they would get the plastic lids on the styrofoam cups correctly as they hold very well out of all of the soup type containers . Nope mine had a tear in the lid very visible and just completely lazily overlooked mind you NO BODY ELSE WAS IN THE RESTAURANT AND ONE SINGLE MAN CAME BEHIND ME !!! lol so for three employees behind the counter there should be literally no mistakes ( I’m cool with mistakes as everyone’s human) . Every single thing I ordered was missing or messed up . So I get home . Let it go and just sit down to eat my treat . I paid 8 to add steak to my burritos for me and my friend. And of course . NO STEAK !!!! Zero !!! I paid for a full portion not none lol . They absolutely could not have messed anything else up and again I was the ONLY CUSTOMER !!! So also I got an attitude from the employees obviously like I was being picky of course . Being in fine dining in San Francisco for 20 years I know the absolute tip top of the food industry . I know what is able to be accomplished with good food good employees and adequate management , I would have obviously bought my meal . The mark up on food is usually around 78-75% obviously that fluctuates . So buying my food they would have lost 10 but Gained that back the next three times I come or less . I eat out very often . Then they would have had a for ever customer because the taste of the food was actually REALLY good . Minus it not being spicy at all and I asked for it to be very spicy . Again that can be over looked because the flavor of the shrimp was exactly what I wanted today !!!! That salty buttery oily shrimp nicely seasoned with whole pintos and rice !! Ugh , but I mean I jahbe a list of no Karen issues !!! So why on earth would I ever go back? There are 87 Mexican restaurants in Chico and another 29 taco trucks some being much better than restaurants . So no I will not go back . I did not take my very generous tip (especially for counter service which was 25% ) but I do not like paying for what I did not receive . That’s insane to me . It’s my only “must” if I pay for something I insist that I revive that item . Anyways for them not being busy at all and me being the only guest my meal should have been so fresh and so incredibly perfect that there is just no excuse for the 9 mistakes . So I would have to say do not eat here . There are so many good Mexican places : REAL AUTHENTIC mexican places and food trucks. There is no room for this kind of nightmare experience . Again I will NEVER eat the again and I all pre you to please follow .

Amazing lunch with super fresh ingredients! The carne asada tacos were amazing and the portions generous. Served by a super friendly staff! These guys have it dialed in! GO!!! You will not be disappointed!
