I am from El Paso and plan to visit soon. Living in Houston I constantly crave for those Chico's with extra cheese. If I only had the recipe. I remember the one on Dyer and Washington Park area. There is no place like home when it comes to Chico's.

This place is delicious. The food is always served hot, it is quick, and the taste, flawless. The green sauce is absolutely incredible and quite impossible to duplicate. You won't find crispy, steaming tacos with yellow melty cheese in a red tomato chile sauce like this anywhere else on earth.
If you want real authentic Mexican flavor for a low price, check this place out. Come hungry; this ain't P.F. Changs.

Chico's Tacos has improved in appearance over the years, but even in the ghetto parts, Chico's just can't be beat for taste. They are addicting! Ask any real El Pasoen and they'll tell you the first place they go when coming back in to town is Chico's Tacos

My father's regret was always that his best friend turned on him after he gave him the recipe on how to make the salsa that is poured over the tacos. His best friend was the owner of the first Chico's Tacos at Washington Park and once Chico's Tacos started making a profit, the owner turned against my father thinking that my father was going to ask him for money for the recipe. My father gave him the recipe as a gift because of their friendship. My father died with that heartache. And in my opinion, it has always been the salsa that made Chico's Tacos what it is now and has always been. My father's name was Cesar Leyva.

I have lived in Houston for the last 14 years, and have gone back to El Paso many times. I grew up there and always ate at Chicos. It was my grandfathers favorite as well as my own. I would like to bring that same experience to my family in Houston. The Tacos are the best and worth getting shipped to you.
