    Helado/icecream

    Food is cheap on certain days ambiance is very slow casual and a bit concerned watching g someone chewing gum while they work the food line. Definitely a health code violation. Sucks to imagine saliva or other contaminated food products when good training and food handling training can avoid this.

    Charlie's Tacos is mine and my husbands absolute favorite taco place in Phoenix! You can't go wrong with these amazing authentic street tacos. We come on Taco Tuesday starting at 7pm they're $1 and we get at least 20 tacos. 10 carne asada, and 10 al pastor. My mouth is water writing this review! Can't wait for this Tuesday to go back! These tacos really unlock a whole new craving you didn't know you had.

    Stopped by Charlie's Taco truck for grab and go.

    It may be a bit of a wait but nothing beats the tacos or food here. This place is huge and you can go inside for entertainment, dancing and great music while you order, OR you can just order from the taco truck outside. You can eat there or take it to go. My absolute favourite craving.

    Tacos / mini quesadilla
    Ana A.

    You might know that this was the spot where taqueria los Yaqui used to be. Decided to come give them a try because I miss those tacos so much! Well it did not disappoint! It's not the same but it's very similar. Prices are still the same $1 tacos and $2 mini quesadillas. They now accept cards and you can order online. You no longer have to do the 45min line wait! If you know, you know! The tables and services is still the same. You still got drinks and orchata. Will keep tacos Charlie's on my back pocket for more tacos later on!

    Beef Tacos

    Absolutely love their Tacos! Tried their Beef taco. Rumored to be that it was less than $1 per taco and is currently priced at $1.50 now. I wouldn't mind paying for it and could totally have 10 to myself. Easy peasy! It was just that good! I would rank this as one of the best tacos I've had at a non franchised place. The downside to this is the wait time. They're a little slow when it comes to taking the orders and making the.

    The quesadillas con carne were delicious! It's one of the few taco trucks in Phoenix open late and they are definitely worth it!

    If I could give this taco truck 100 stars I would. My husband & I are regulars at this place. Not only do they have the most amazing food, the price you absolutely can't beat for the best quality producta, they also have thee most amazing staff. From ordering your food from Jesse or Ray ( who I am I kidding they know our order ) to getting your food so quickly you will be amazed. We love to make it a family event. We bring every friend who comes to visit to this truck and I've never had anyone say anything bad about it! Amazing foo, bomb prices, & the kindest staff!!!

    Five chicken tacos
    Jeff G.

    Tacos are great. I always get chicken tacos. Id like to try other items on the menu but the chicken tacos are great for $2. Place is open til 4am. Best place around in that area no contest. Nothing else even open past 9pm.

    Delicious food but you do have to wait a quite a while for your order. However, it is well worth the wait!!

    The truck. It's awesome!!
    s n.

    We landed late in Phoenix and were starving. With few places open past 11pm, we ended up at Charlie's. While the main disco parking lot is a bit sketchy, it's safe and there are a lot of people around. Walk around the corner to the Camelback Rd. side and the taco truck experience is awesome. Food is amazing and cheap!!! The Jamaica and Horchata were amazing too. Highly recommend the tacos and mini quesadillas

    Mini quesadillas! My favorite! Asada and chicken with everything!

    Tacos are sooo good. Meat is flavorful and the toppings are perfect a great addition. They never disappoint. Some of the best tacos in town.

    I was introduced to La Frontera on Lincoln and 35th Ave when I was just a little kid, and I've been…read moregoing ever since. As I got older, I eventually started coming to this location, and honestly, I feel like the tacos here are even better. The meat has an amazing flavor, the quality of the tacos is always on point, the service is great, and I really enjoy the overall vibe of the area. My usual order is 6 tacos de asada and 3 de tripa, along with a Coca-Cola en botella or an horchata. The food is consistently delicious, the service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is especially enjoyable on weekend nights. It's one of those places where people come after a night of partying or just because they're looking for somewhere open late to get some seriously good tacos. This place also has a special meaning to me personally. I brought my wife here on our first date, and I hope that one day I can bring my son here when he's old enough to enjoy the food. I've shared so many memories here with friends and family over the years, and I plan to keep coming back for as long as this place is open and I'm around. For me, this isn't just another taco spot--it's a place with a real connection to my life and a lot of great memories attached to it. I truly hope it continues to be around for many more years.

    La Frontera is one of those downtown Phoenix food trucks permanently parked in a setting that looks…read morelike a semi truck stop and that hits the spot exactly when Mexican comfort food is what you're craving, day or night. It's casual, satisfying, and always a little bit of a scene in the best way. There are tables if you want to sit, and depending on the hour, you might find yourself surrounded by suited business people, construction workers, late-night wanderers, or a mix of all three. In any case, it's always a trip. The ladies running the truck are all smiles and especially patient when this gringo places his order completely in Spanish. That alone makes the experience feel warm and fun before the food even arrives. This is exactly the kind of place downtown should have: no fuss, plenty of character, and food that satisfies the craving.

I did get the spicy viva burger to try as well, and didn't like it as much. It lacked depth of flavor and kinda just tasted spicy. Still a solid burger of course, but I would go back to the classic ones next time. During lent, they had their fish sandwich, which was INSANE. The best one we have ever had. The fish was crispy on the outside, flakey and buttery on the inside. The tartar sauce was perfectly tart and balanced the whole thing. I AM PRAYINGG it comes back for times other than lent. Ruined every other fish sandwich for me. We tried their fries both times we went, and honestly not a fan. They're beef tallow fries so they're supposedly "better" but they were pretty hard and oily, and have the meat taste from the beef tallow that I don't like, I would skip these. People start lining up before the truck opens so I suggest getting there 20 minutes early for quick service, otherwise you'll be looking at an hourish wait. But trust me, it's worth it

    This is my first and only experience with Kings. I ordered food at an event for a friend from…read moreKings based on what she saw others had ordered because it looks great. My friend and I waited and waited for the food. I opened the order when I got it before leaving the window and the lady working the window gave me someone else's food. Thankfully, and the other customer recognized their order and got their food just fine. The lady working the window apologized, gave me a water, and I waited longer. She apologized again and said that they'd bring the food to me. They didn't bring the food and instead gave part of my order to a different friend to bring to me. I went back and asked for the rest of the order. The lady working the window said that she gave me my order. I said no, we only got part of it. She then became unbelievably inappropriate saying that I'm lying, stealing from a Black man business owner, not well, and all kinds of things that were uncalled for because they were paid nearly $40 for the order plus a 20% tip! I told my friend what happened and to do a charge back. I went back again with the partial order to try and explain that this was all that was received. Instead, the woman working the window immediately started berating me, threatening to embarrass me, and other things that were incredibly unhelpful to reconcile the situation. Mind you, I am not the type to act a fool and was at the event representing an organization so at no time did I raise my voice or return the treatment I received from this business. She asked what I wanted her to do and I told her that a refund because I know how chargebacks are bad for small businesses. She said okay and asked for the last 4 digits of the card, so I had to get them from my friend. I went back to my friend to get the numbers, got back in line to give them to her, and I gave them to her. She asked why I kept getting back in line...well, how else was I supposedto get help because that line was the only line. Instead of refunding my friend, the lady shut the window, talked to the owner, and reopened the window and started taking more orders. I got back in line again to find out if the refund had been done and she said that they were not going to refund and there was nothing else that they could do. I told my friend this and she's going to move forward hopefully with the chargeback. Mind you if the order and had been fulfilled correctly, then I wouldn't have had to go back multiple times asking for the order nor would I be writing this negative review. Our other friends who actually got their orders said the food was good, so there's that I suppose. This type of exchange is why so many businesses fail. Simple things like decent service and order management. I was not the only person waiting for an extended period. I was not the only person whose order was messed up. I encourage this business to invest in an digital order taking CMS and not writing things in dark pen on the boxes themselves. If digital order taking isn't possible for now, and that's OK if it is, then invest in guest check server notepads. They are less than $10 on Amazon. The orders can be written on them with customers' names and phone numbers, the bottom can be torn off for customers to have while they are waiting for food, and, in order for a customer to receive their order, they must surrender the torn off portion. Doing something either electronically or handwritten like explained would provide a system for checks and balance instead of relying on someone's memory. Also, consider coaching, retraining, and/or replacing the woman that was working the window today as her behavior is bad for business. She was not able to or chose not to maintain composure, decorum, and handle the pressure of all of the customer traffic. Though I did not get loud, she did get loud with me and other customers saw this every time she did this. That affects business. Her choices and behavior today cost this business vending opportunities with me, my employer, the organization I was representing at today's event, and probably with other customers who saw her disrespect, treatment, and unkindness towards me.

There's something so cozy and welcoming about this spot that makes it feel familiar every time we walk through the door. One of my favorite things to order here is the chilaquiles. I usually switch up the meat depending on what I'm craving, and this visit I went with chorizo. The tortilla chips have that perfect balance of crisp edges and just enough sauce to soften them without turning soggy. The chorizo adds a savory, slightly smoky richness, while the toppings bring everything together with fresh, bright flavors. It's the kind of breakfast where every bite has a little crunch, a little spice, and plenty of flavor. I also love ordering a fresh orange juice alongside my coffee--it's become part of my usual routine here. There's something about fresh OJ with a comforting plate of chilaquiles that just makes breakfast feel extra special. The service has consistently been wonderful, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable without feeling overly formal. After all these years, Presidio Cocina Mexicana remains one of those spots I genuinely enjoy returning to. Good food, great service, and that cozy neighborhood feel that keeps you coming back.
