Tacos De Acapulco Chico

Tacos Mari, also known as Tacos Mary, BETTER known as Tacos de Acapulco, has been a staple in Chico for 20+yrs. Located at 5th & Ivy, this hideaway gem is a treat for longtime residents. Time to tell you why. Went in for lunch to order the Combo Nachos and 2 hard shell Tacos... NO street Tacos this time. The nachos consisted of 2 choices of meat...I chose the Puerco Colorado (rich and flavorful and full of sauce) and chicken over the chips, then came the lettuce, tomato, onions, sour cream, avocado, and jalapeños. It weighs well over 3lbs, and can't be eaten in 1 sitting. The tacos were basic chicken, lettuce, tomato, and a red sauce in a crunchy shell...but the chicken is anything but basic. Shredded perfectly, and seasoned just right with a hint of spice to warm the tongue. Folks, you simply can't go wrong with anything on this menu. It's hard to stay in business for so long without perfecting your craft...and they have!! This is just 1 reason I've been frequenting this establishment for SO LONG. 1 small notice...NO radishes, to which I'm thankful. Just try this place once, order your favorite dish, and see for yourself. Tacos Mari ranks in the top 5-10% in town. Now you know.
