Dwayne O.

Chrispa's 2 Tacos Carna Asada were very good filled with lots of goodies, very filling and tasty, nice job on the tacos and thank you for substituting the beans for extra rice. The taquitos were crispy and tasty, nice for my 90 year old mother to eat, the guacamole that it comes with was a nice compliment. Small restaurant, locally owned and run, please try them out.

Quesadilla A La Carte
Nicole G.

First and foremost, the service was STELLAR! We wanted to stop in and pick up lunch on the way to my in laws house, they were closing at 2pm and we didn't know this as it was our first experience at Chispa's. We called our order in and before we even placed the order, we asked if it was okay since it was so close to closing time. They were so accommodating and they were to happy to take our order for pick up. When we got to the restaurant, they had our order ready! They were all so kind and welcoming. The restaurant was small but perfect to match the vibe and also had a cute outdoor seating area for guests. Conveniently, this spot offers a drive thru as well which is always great for on-the-go! The food. My fiancé and I rated our experience 7.5/10. Here is the rundown... My fiancé ordered the two carne asada taco plate, I ordered the carne asada burrito, and our son ordered the cheese quesadilla. The quesadilla was THE BEST, SO DELICIOUS! Although, I feel a different container would have been better for transporting to retain its shape, heat, and sticking together since they're stacked. The carne asada burrito. It comes with beans and rice and your selection of meat plus up to 3 additional toppings (a few for example are onions and cilantro, grilled onions, pickles onions, avocado, chipotle crema, jalapeños, and more). I chose avocado, pickled onions, and 2 sides of chipotle crema. Highly recommend the sauces on the side so you can control the quantity and ensure the sauce is in each bite throughout. It was delicious. The one flaw....The beans. I was not a fan of the beans. Which is unfortunate because the beans come in the burrito and on all the plates etc. I just found the beans with an off flavor, almost too salty. The color was not pleasant looking either. If these beans were changed, our 7.5 ranking would easily move to an 8.5/9. My fiance ordered the tacos. He really enjoyed the tacos, he opted for onions and cilantro for his toppings with sides of hot salsa. They were really good and it was a perfect portion for lunch. Yet again, the beans on the plate lunch option were not the best. Would we back again? Yes, absolutely. However I would order either the beans on the side or just opt out of them completely. Great lunch spot! Can't wait to try other items at Chispas! I encourage you to give them a try! Fairly inexpensive too! For the three of us, it was $40! Not bad at all! Fresh ingredients, great service!

Carne asada tacos on corn with roasted bell peppers, cilantro, onion, and pico de gallo
Taylor R.

Solid place with lots of great options. Was able to walk next door and get drinks to bring over which is a fun little twist. I had the taco plate with carne asada. Great portion size and flavors.

4 Birra Taco Special Tuesday and Wednesday only

Ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and it was huge! I got the "hot" salsa to go with it and it was delicious. No wait either on a Wednesday morning

2 beef tacos rice and beans
Beth B.

This place is a gem. I can't believe it took me this long to try it. everything I've had so far is amazing. The rice and beans are delicious. The beef tacos delicious and I really like the egg and potato burrito. I don't think you can go wrong.

Breakfast bowl... I've been sleeping on the menu with the same same nearly every time. Not this time.
Jessica C.

They got me. Sometimes they forget the avo salsa OTS but I still go back, often. Honorable mentions: Chorizo & Egg burrito is a hit for the Kid with cilantro & onion added and avocado salsa on the side... I dig the burrito with veggies, I switch up between refried beans and pinto, add pickled onion, carrots and jalapens and the avocado salsa on it. Civeche Stuffed Papa Breakfast bowl hit a pocket I didn't know existed Carne fries are delicious, I'd stuff 2 orders in if I were physically capable Horchata yum Oj yum yum Quesadilla is massive Birria tacos on Wednesday & Thursday I thoroughly enjoy this place and it is one of maybe 2 other "drive thru" establishments I am willing to drive through. Yes, I do recommend and yes, I will return

Horchata
Kat V.

Wow I should have been here sooner! The roasted green chiles are delicious and I love them in my bowl of fish/rice/refried beans. Salsa here is hot and spicy. Horchata is tasty and thicker than other place. Outdoor seating is nice and also dog-friendly. They also have drive thru that is wrapped around their building.

Needs more toppings. Too many fries and not enough of the other stuff.
Richard F.

"WOW NOT WHAT I EXPECTED!" I got the carne asada fries -really good flavor -salsa taste amazing -pico is fresh -fries are crunchy and I love that they are not thick -I love the addition of the cucumber in the pico -notes to chef: The cilantro garlic aïoli was too strong on the garlic side. The sauce should be considered for revision. For $13 dollars there needs to be more food to fry ratio. When I was eating this I was left with only fries at the bottom, wanting more toppings. The BURRITO was amazing. Tortilla is really good, steak is seasoned perfectly. A well rounded burrito that I would order again. Would I come back? YES I WOULD

2 Tacos (2)
Olivia C.

I went for a quick lunch and had some pretty good tacos! Staff was super friendly and they made some pretty quality tacos. Queso and chips were good as well!

I ate a bite and then remembered to take a photo. This is the bacon burrito. So good!

They have a selection of burritos, ceviche, flautas and salads, but tacos are a thing here. I decided on a shrimp taco and a green chili chicken taco. Lunch came with a six piece sauce pack, so you can customize the tacos to your liking. I'd been thinking of Mexican food and these tacos were good! I had a long drive back to the hotel, or would have indulged in one of those icy cold and delicious looking drinks, like the Diego Margarita or Fuego Fresa. The servers are friendly, prices are reasonable and this restaurant is popular with tourists and locals. The air conditioning is perfect for getting out of the heat and the food and ambiance make it even better! They also have patio dining for cooler nights. On my next visit, I'll return to Old Town, one of the best areas in Phoenix. It offers great restaurants like Diego Pops--it's on my "must come back and try a margarita" list.

Great restaurant, the food was really good. It nailed on the taste and flavor…read more I think we ate three bowls of chips and salsa in the very beginning, ordered extra salsa. The service was spectacular. That I ambience was a little bit dark. A little hard to view.

I just had a trip back to Arizona for a friend's wedding, and met up with some friends at Blanco…read morefor dinner. We loved going to Blanco when we were in college in Tucson about 10 years ago, so we were excited to eat at this location! Unfortunately, there seems to have been some huge changes in quality of the food. None of us were crazy about anything we ordered (tacos and enchiladas)- even the chips and salsa weren't that great (none of it was terrible, but not as delicious as we all remember it being). We were there on a Friday night and the mood was kind of sad- none of us ended up wanting to get any drinks since the vibe was off, and we ended up going back to our hotel's restaurant after. The service was ok, maybe a little rushed which was odd since the restaurant wasn't super full. Our waiter asked if we wanted dessert and we asked to see a menu, and he just listed off the offerings and waited for us to decide. Since we wanted some time to talk about it, we ended up just asking for the check since it was a little awkward. Definitely a bummer- I'm not sure what happened. It is nice that they have valet though since parking is tough.
