I love this place! I have been coming here constantly for the past years. The food is fresh and so goooood! The service is super friendly! I always get their tacos or their tortas but tonight I went with their chicken quesadilla. Still great tasting! The salsa is the best! With some lime

Really yummy! They have a good selection of food, pan, and beer!!! Prices weren't too bad either and overall they were friendly and really felt like i was just hanging out at my family members homes.

The tacos are heaven. I tried the torta for the first time and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. It’s like Subway from another universe that uses high quality ingredients. Terrible comparison, but it was heaven. I’m getting it again tonight. *wipes drool from face.

My sister and I were looking for churros. This place came up. As we were walking up to the building we were welcome with such amazing smells. We ordered tacos and tortas and they were hands down the best Carne Asada tacos I've ever had. The Churros are made to order and come out Piping hot. They have a little patio outside that's dog friendly. They're all very kind, welcoming and accommodating definitely a hidden gem. Can't wait to go back. Update I went back a week later and the food was just as good as the last time. My biggest pet perv is when restaurants are not consistent. I'll get some Photos next time.

Mama Chiquita is over the top authentic! Their street tacos are the best we've ever had and they are not those tiny ones either! And the burritos are big enough to have half today and the rest for lunch tomorrow. The bakery items are like little jewels, so perfect and pretty you don't even want to eat them, but please do or you will regret it. The folks that run the place are super cool, and helpful to translate the menu for me. Did I mention they have flan?? Delicious! Prices are also pretty good, especially when you think of all the other places that are charging an arm and a leg for crappy food. You should spend your hard earned money on quality food. Go to Mama Chiquitas for the best Tacos, Burritos and Tortas in the Yuba/Sutter Area! Oh, and don't forget the freshly cooked churros!

It's pricey but the tortas de pollo and asada are so worth it! They're so good! We also tried the tacos de tripa but they're were not washed properly as we had mouthfuls of "dirt/sand". Other than that, the tacos had good flavor and the sauce was perfect. Hopefully they wash them better next time we go.
