    Taco combo
    Samantha N.

    This was unfortunately one of the most inauthentic Mexican restaurants I've been to. Even from the photo, the rice looks extremely bland and lacked the color and seasoning you'd expect. The refried beans didn't have any cheese, which is a classic preparation, and overall the tacos were lacking flavor. I ordered two carne asada tacos and one al pastor. The al pastor came without pineapple, and the carne asada was very dry. My friend ordered a torta, which they enjoyed. I tried a bite and thought it was better than my dish, though it had a lot of mayo. The bread was high quality, but it ended up overpowering everything else and masked the fact that the meat itself wasn't great. Overall, I was very disappointed with the food. The restaurant itself was nice, a casual sit-down spot, and the staff were very kind. Unfortunately, the food was a letdown.

    No one wanted to eat the burritos.
    Yivirk M.

    Well, this has been one of the worst experiences I had with Mexican food. I ordered 2 asada burritos and a carne asada plate. The burritos definitely not good, the meat is chewy, the beans taste like they have been sitting out for too long, definitely not a good experience. The carne asada fries had so much onions with cilantro that is insane, okay Calitacos, I get it you have plenty onions and cilantro!!! The meat is chewy as well and I don't know why, but they add refried beans to them with guacamole. Like what?.... Anyways the prices are good that's for sure, but for me definitely the food is not worth it, also the horchata is okay, really sweet like some people like it. The cashier was nice and has a good customer service. The restaurant looks clean, nothing extra. I'm sorry but I am definitely not going back.

    Michelada

    Calitacos in Chandler is the real deal. Their quesabirria tacos with that consome and micheladas are hands-down the best I've had anywhere in Arizona, rich, flavorful, and made right. The vibe is chill, the staff is great been coming to this location since it opened. The food comes out hot, and every bite hits that perfect balance of cheesy, crispy, and juicy. I also recommend the Birria Fries.

    This is close to my office so my team typically likes to grab tacos from here. I happen to stop by for lunch myself one day. I offered to try the margarita which I ultimately regretted it's a little too much syrup for my taste. The barría tacos have good flavor but I ultimately didn't like the consume. I would definitely return for something else.

    Best damm tacos ever!!!! All the girls were sweethearts and they were filled with pride knowing that they were serving the best damn tacos in Phoenix place that I ate off I was off 51st Street in Phoenix and it was delicious

    Birria and carne asada
    Luciana V.

    Tacos were a good size, meat was nicely seasoned, a good amount of meat per taco. Went for lunch and two tacos were pretty filling, highly recommend the birria taco. I also had a carne asada taco with melted cheese. The place was super clean and the service was friendly. Happy to know of a good taco spot on this side of town. As a real estate agent in the area, having solid spots to eat all over town is a must!

    Bad service

    Kid at the register refused to give me a water cup after just spending $100 on tacos. Stating they don't got any water cups, when there was legit a stack of a million cups next to him. I asked him for one of those just for water and he refused 5x. Legit just wanted some water. Terrible service especially after just spending that much money on a big order and driving for an hour.

    Tacos De Birria

    This place gone down hill and servers are not friendly . When they first open they were good and now I tried giving it another opportunity and just failed won't be returning

    Super nachos asada
    Dayana L.

    Good portions and good pricing. Everything my table ordered was great. I can be skeptical about certain mexican spots meat seasoning but the birria and it's consome was fire. The mango agua fresca was not my favorite but their horchata was good. Friendly staff! They earned a costumer!

    Cali burrito with birria, amazing.
    Donna U.

    Off the beaten path but people seem to find it. I came with a group of 5. I had the cali burrito with birria which was really good, way too much food. My friends all said their food was extremely dry and lacked a little flavor. Service was slow but friendly.

    Missing ingredients
    Abraham D.

    Placed an order for cali super nachos to go and asked for everything on it, unfortunately when I arrived home it was missing the melted cheese, onion, cilantro, sour cream and guacamole! Also I understand having long lines but having people who ordered before me receive their food first is not good customer service.

    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.
