FOODS OF CHICO

Tacos Tonaya #2  Tacos Tonaya #2 sits on the corner of walnut and West 3rd, an area heavily populated by multiple student housing areas and attracts many students in during their late nights. Late Saturday night? Tacos Tonaya's open until 2 a.m. on Sunday early morning. Dependable for almost any time of day, well except on Sundays-off to church to praise the Lord and Savior and pray for good fortune. Walking home, I myself pass it every now and then, and it is heavily impacted by the student population arriving for the Mexican food. Always there for some good tacos. Menu As a Mexican restaurant, Tacos Tonaya #2 has quite the reputation to uphold for those further down in southern California. They have a variety to please the customers-Mexican specialty dishes, tacos, burritos, fries with the infamous carne asada . There is a lot to choose from. Rumors say that their California burrito is their most attractive dish.  Mexican Food Competition? Sure there mi...

TACOS When Mexicans cross the borderline, they're not only bringing their hopes for a better life in the U.S., they are also dragging their cultures and traditions-aspects of their lives they will never give up. Tacos come with the Mexican culture, one cannot exist without the other.  Tacos El Paisa Tacos El Paisa  is a Mexican food truck that sits on Walnut Street across from the Burger King. From 10:30 in the morning 'til 8:00 in the late evening, the truck draws in college students from around the area with an amazing aroma.  Being an LA native and all, I hold high expectations over every order prepared. With small tortillas dipped in vegetable oil and a variety of meats cooking on the side, I am easily lured in. Be it Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Lengua, or Chorizo; the  menu  resonates with Mexican culture. Every taco resonates with Mexico's call for a bite, and only a good taquero can deliver an appreciated dish that won't receive t...

IS IT ACTUALLY GOOD?  It's a good question to ask yourself before you step foot in any restaurant. You don't want to embarrass the cooking staff, or in this case, the barista. I take a glance inside and there's a room full of college students, a few hipsters, and even a few old people of Chico. It's a hot spot.  The Naked Lounge  has obviously lured in the student populace of Chico, possibly on a level even as great as Starbucks. From the outside, The Naked Lounge looks authentic and youthful, Starbucks looks so typical. MENU Not only coffee!! But There is also tea, espresso, beer, and food on the  menu . They're even smart in how they order their menu across the board with it separating the usually order drinks for newcomers and the unusual for those feeling extra risky. YELP'S REVIEW  Yelp  always has something to say, it's customer reviews on The Naked Lounge was a 4-star coffee shop with 685 reviews. Some like Isabella, from out of...

Me, Myself, & I- With Food  ME  Hello. My name is Salvador Rivera, I'm 19. I'm a freshman in CSU Chico and new to the area. As a Los Angeles native, I hold foods to high regards. Be it gourmet or street food from food vendors. Chico has such a variety much like Los Angeles and I would very much like to enjoy its greatness-Tacos, Burgers, Pizza, etc. Places like  Nexx Burgers  can be compared to places such as the  Madison Bear  Garden . CLASS OF 2022 I welcome all to my blog. I write this blog to branch myself out more to the town of Chico and its glory. I wish to meet new people, make new friends, and settle in as a college student. Not only that, but I also wish to share with the rest of the 2022 class of freshmen the beautiful flavors of chico that will please their taste buds.
