    Al pastor and carne asada tacos.
    Mario F.

    I'm working down the street for the next few months and saw this place. Being that I live in California I was very suspect of a place using the "mecca of Mexican food" as their name so I had to try. Let me just say they did not disappoint. These tacos reminded me of home. So much so that I visit it for lunch at least once a week. Their meats all taste fabulous and the guacamole on top is what completes it for me. That is authentic and worth the drive over to their restaurant. I have not been inside the restaurant to comment on the ambiance, but their drive thru is fast and service is great. Everyone is friendly and they provide you with plenty of salsa and radishes if you ask. I definitely recommend this place and can confirm they are allowed to use Cali in their name :). Keep up the great work!

    Taco de cabeza, rice and beans special.
    Evelyn L.

    I love coming here for the $7.99 special. Three tacos, rice, beans and a medium drink. You can't really beat that price. The staff is always really friendly and the place is nice and clean. The asada tacos are good, as well as the cabeza one. The only complaint was the tortilla. It was super stiff and dry. Don't get me wrong I love onions but it almost felt like they over powered the entire thing. I will still continue to come here though. You CANNOT beat that special.

    Wrong order

    They are usually ok but this time they got the order wrong and we spent more than we received.

    Solid.. I am not a Mexican officiando but this place has fresh, good tasting food at reasonable prices. Killer lunch spot!

    This is the ultimate experience. I normally don't care for fast food. This should not be compared. Here the ingredients are so fresh and quality is high. My favorite items are birria tacos and horchata to drink. The tacos are tender and juicy! Man I am getting hungry just thinking about this place. Try the fries if you have a large group. Please check out my photos.

    Definitely not 4 stars here. The reviews are inflated. I had the birria tacos, rice and horchata. Wife had the Cali nacho plate. The beef was low grade and mostly fat. Taco was nothing worth 4 stars. My wife gave the nachos 3 stars too. A lot of beans and a few scattered tortilla chips at the bottom. My son had the basic nuggets and fries which looked like they purchased from Costco and microwaved. To top it off this area is sketchy af. Random homeless wandering in and out possibly dropping dope. Probably would not return unless they step it up.

    Ordered a carne asada burrito. Soon as I opened the wrapping the burrito was falling apart. Never seen a burrito made so poorly.

    Overall so good! We originally drove over to this area to go to a different place but didn't know…read morethey closed and I'm so happy this was the first suggestion for birria!! I got a birria taco and my hubs got an al pastor quesadilla. We also got a side of rice and horchata. Horchata- creamy and delish (which says a lot because I don't usually care for it) Rice- was good to me but the peas could be left out lol Quesadilla- the meat was flavorful and owned every bite. Tortilla was nice and everything was a perfect ratio Birria- OMG! The flavor was perfect and the cheese. It was so hard not to eat it in one bite lol. I foot to add consume but honestly it didn't need it. I loved the flavor and how tender the meat was I've driven past the Litchfield location and always wanted to try so I am happy we made it into this location! Definitely will have to make my way to that one since it's a little closer to home. Also the seating is ample inside and the girls are nice! Kitchen was quick as well. Even when it was dead to watching alone form, they busted out those orders

    I found this spot tucked away in a Fry's plaza honestly surprising since I've been in the area…read moreplenty of times and never noticed it before. I stopped by on a Saturday night to finally check it out. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the trompo right away, which is always a good sign. I stepped up to the counter and was greeted with a warm smile from the young lady up front. After looking over the menu, I ordered two tacos de tripa and two tacos de suadero. She asked if I wanted the tripas extra crispy I said no. I also asked how they prepare the suadero since I didn't see a choricera, but she wasn't sure. When the food came out, the tripas were a letdown. The texture was off, almost like a stale chip, and they were clearly overcooked. I asked if I could swap them for something safer, so I went with asada instead, but that didn't impress either. It didn't taste very fresh. Now here's the reason you should come to Tacos Chilangos: the suadero. Even though it's not cooked the traditional way, it was absolutely delicious. Perfect meat-to-fat ratio, super flavorful, and easily the standout. The guacamole salsa was top tier. I kept going back to that one over the others. All in all definitely stop by to try the suadero as for as the other two I'd would probably give them a second try.

    Awesome hidden gem. The menu is wildly expansive from cheap burritos to crazy expensive steaks…read more You can really make it into whichever experience you'd like. I'd gotten the chicken plate, and LOVED it. Great cook on everything and really flavorful bites all around. (would have loved a spicier salsa option, tho). Ambiance is simple and open. Not fancy, but bright and airy. Service was fine. All around some of the best food I've had in the PHX are, so I'll be back on my next visit! (great gelato nearby for dessert also)

    Good food, though it's hit or miss…read more We've been coming since it was in the Holiday Inn up on Dysart but we stopped after three visits where the food arrived burned (like charred black), or completely cold, or it was rushed and the order was wrong by a mile. We decided to try again at this new location. It was good. The ribeye tacos are really good, as are the potato tacos (try them!). Our food arrived hot and everything was good. Personally I'm not a fan of their salsas. And I think it's lame to have to separately order chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. Especially considering their prices are astronomical for Mexican food. And the chips and salsa are not cheap. But those are nit-picks. I'd say good overall. For me it's not anything great, and it's not a good, old, "family-style" Mexican restaurant with red plastic soda tumblers and plentiful chips and salsa. It's more of a "boutique" Mexican-inspired restaurant. Decent for sure, but the prices for me are way high for what it is (a taqueria really). Still, give it a try. I think when they're hitting on all cylinders their food is great.

I left to make an appointment at the nearby nail salon and came back and they were still back there frying my fish - which, as mentioned, was chef's kiss otherwise. I loved my blue pineapple/coconut milk drink. This place is known for its beverages. Can't complain.
