"Tacos will never break your heart" Taco to me and I'll tell you about another great spot! The decor and ambience is cleverly made to symbolize Mexican culture and pay homage to dia de Los muertos. This place serves some very good tacos and are known for their char taste on their choices of protein like Asada, Pastor, Chicken, Tripas, Birria and more! You choose either corn or flour tortillas for your tacos and then dress them to your liking at their self service salsa topping bar. You can also purchase fresh tortillas made in house and I recommend the flour as it gives you that Sonoran taco feel with a nice flour tortilla and some good char grilled asada steak. Besides tacos they offer Birria tacos, burritos, quesadillas or caramelos which is a quesadilla in flour tortillas, gorditas, vampiros, mulas and the ever popular potatoes that come fully loaded with your choice of meat. Don't forget about their nachos or carne asada fries. For those who love spice there is something called a Tortito which is a shrimp and cheese stuffed chili wrapped in bacon To wash it all down you can choose from a Avis fresca, bottled Mexican soda, fountain drinks or even an ice cold beer. They cater and offer family pack size food which is bang for your buck and comes with tortillas and choice of meat. Can't forget about dessert, they have a rotating cakes fridge where I noticed some yummy looking tees leches cakes individually packed or handmade ice cream paletas Price per taco ranges from 3 to 4 dollars each. This is great choice for your tacos fix! read more

The food was delicious, the staff was kind and welcoming, and the restaurant was very clean. Overall, it was a great experience!

I stopped by today to get 2 carne asada burritos and 2 Carmelo's with asada, in my burritos I got beans, rice, pico, and sour cream added and they were so good! My man and I loved the burritos and my son loved the Carmelo's! Inside is very vibrant and a vibe with their decorations. The service was amazing the staff is very friendly. It was very clean inside as well. They have a salsa bar inside and you can get all your fixings you need from pico, cilantro and onions, red sauce, and a super hot sauce, and guacamole, and a few other stuff. If you have not been here I highly recommend to check them out. read more

The good: the tables had a cute design and the walls had nice paintings on them. The red salsa was good. There is plenty of parking. The bad: unfortunately overall this place was extremely disappointing. First, when you walk in it smelled strongly of sewage. It did not smell like sewage outside, it smelled strongly of sewage only inside the restaurant. The bathrooms were also unclean with trash all over the floor. The verde salsa didn't have good flavor. It tasted okay, but like it was missing something. I tried a Birria caramelo and a Pastor Caramelo. Both of these were lacking in meat. The meet was all placed in the middle and had a lot of empty tortilla. The meat was not well seasoned either. The flour tortilla also tasted old. I don't think I would come here again given the abundance of other taco shops in Phoenix. read more

Do not confuse traditional"Sopes" with their "gorditas". I got two gorditas, one chicken and one pastor. They both lacked the corn flavor from a corn based sope. The meat was ok. I washed it all down with an agua de Jamaica and it all came out to $18! Way over priced. Will maybe return to try a burrito. read more

best part about this place is the salsa bar! $5 for a Jarritos? what a joke, cold food, small portions. their agua frescas are powder, and they taste old and stale! to make matters worse NO HAIR BETS IN SIGHT! the woman making the tortillas has the longest hair and not bet no hat! the cooks with beards, no hair net or hat or beard net!! gross! never again. read more

Average. I had the quesabirria tacos with consome. Both were lacking flavor. The tacos were a bit too crunchy for my taste. They have a salsa bar that's well stocked. The decorations are very pretty. The service is normal. The birria I wish had more flavor it just wasn't that amazing. Same with the consome. Just needed more flavor. read more

I ordered delivery through GrubHub after a particularly taxing and long day at work so I have not been inside this restaurant. However, I wanted to try something new and was in the mood for a burrito so this spot served like a good choice. I will say I was not disappointed. I got chips and salsa, an asada burrito with rice and cheese, and a pastel tres leches with a rootbeer fountain drink. I got into the chips and salsa right away and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not usual a big fan of salsa that has a lot of liquid but this salsa was very good and had a nice flavor. None of the veggies were cut too big and the spice level was perfect. My burrito was very big and full of flavor. I didn't eat the whole thing in one sitting so I'm happy to have it for dinner tomorrow too. I haven't eaten the cake yet. I'm too full from the rest of the food but it looks amazing and I'm excited to try it! I look forward to getting food from this spot again in the future! read more

I've been coming to this place since 2021 and they never cease to amaze me! Food it's always amazing, customer service can't get any better and ambience it's just perfect. Definitely worth the 30 minute drive read more

To say the least this visit was pretty disappointing. We walked in late afternoon and the restaurant was pretty empty. However, upon entering the restaurant, there was a distinct smell of what I described as dirty mop water. The restaurant was quiet and no music playing, all you could hear where the hood vents from the kitchen in the back. With the exception of the quesabirria tacos that my kiddo got, everything else was pretty disappointing. My girlfriend got a birria caramelo and a pastor caramelo that were very disappointing. The caramelo lacked protein, they definitely went very light on the meat and it was mostly tortilla with pretty light cheese as well. I also got the Carne Asada caramelo and was also very light on the meat. I also got a Carne Asada burrito, which I added beans too as well, but when I received that it was mostly tortilla. I unwrapped it to fill it with salsa and condiments from the station and found out that it was very light on Carne Asada. The first couple bites I took were mostly tortilla. This is definitely a disappointing visit as I had been here before and don't remember it being this light on the protein. The smell also made it an unpleasant meal to sit through in the quiet. read more

I've been coming to City Tacos since 2017! When I tell you, this is the best taco spot in Arizona I am not kidding. There are no other taco shops that begin to compare to City Tacos. I know taco boys is a really popular place but to be honest that place always makes my stomach hurt lol city tacos does not miss!! Their food is absolutely off the chain! So freaking delicious and their salsa bar is the best. They have the hottest red sauce and they have a guacamole salsa that is absolutely incredible. Whenever I come here, I usually get chicken tacos on flour tortilla or I'll get a Carne Asada Vampiro. Honestly, everything on their menu is absolutely incredible but those are just a few of my favorite things to order! You can tell their food is quality and it really cures my craving whenever I'm craving tacos. I just can't say enough good things about this spot. Please don't ever close because I would be heart broken. Best tacos in AZ hands down. read more

Ooh my, this food is so Damn good! My friend referred me here about 30 minutes ago and it's everything he claimed it to be, these tacos are fire Tortillas are fresh & the salsa bar is Stacked! Looks like they even have cold beers and margaritas. Too bad I can't have one right now. The service is just what i need. It's nice ,clean and not a loud environment. Also, I really enjoy the tables n chairs (they have the day of the dead painted. Looks like by hand. I'm impressed) Plus i'm super close to my next client! read more

Needed some late night Mexican food yesterday and this fulfilled my need! The don't do online ordering late in the day so I went in to order for pickup. I got a bean, rice, and cheese burrito, and chips and salsa. The burrito was absolutely massive which was awesome. Salsa that the chips come with is watery and not my fave, but the salsa bar has a much better selection and even has a guac sauce. I usually like veggies on my burrito, they don't have that as an option but they do have pickled veggies and they have cabbage and cucumbers at the salsa bar so I was able to get some of those! I liked the sautéed onions with the burrito too. Service was really good, got my food out in a timely manner, the guy taking my order was really nice and made conversation with me. Lots of seating in here, would probably be a good lunch stop too. read more

City Tacos - Chips and salsa, bean, rice, and cheese burrito - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I ordered Vampiros, which I why I went there. What was served to me were burnt tortillas. Some overcooked meat. All toppings had to be put on by myself from a condiment table which was basically empty. I had eaten here when they first opened a few years ago and now it is overpriced inedible food! read more

+ Handmade corn tortillas. + Caramelized onions and Serrano pepper with great spice level + Lots of space inside +/- Taste of the meat was pretty good - Price/amount of food ($3 for taco, $5-6 for mula [tortilla + meat + cheese + tortilla] or gordita [thicker tortilla base and sides like a deep dish pizza] - both of which seemed to have about the same amount of meat as a standard taco elsewhere read more

Our friends put us on to this taco place and we loved it so much we came back the next day. My husband and I are always looking for a place with a good Michelada and we found our new favorite spot! So yummy, perfectly spicy and only $6!!! Such a cute local spot with great food, even better beer run by the nicest people. read more

Phoenix has no shortage of delicious taco joints, but when we popped by here we had very little time to sit down somewhere. I looked up City Tacos and the good reviews convinced me to go in - good choice! It's got an authentic feel and a simple interior. Tacos are served up quickly and the line is super efficient. Al Pastor is typically my litmus test for good tacos and sooooo many places get it horribly wrong. The pastor tacos here were tasty and not too 'masked' by pineapple chunks. I also liked the carne asada and the chicken tacos. I truly liked the salsa and fixins bar. They've got all-you-want pickled onions and jalapeños, fresh onions and radishes, at least 6 salsas, and a really good spicy creamy guac. And the prices were great! Looking forward to coming back here! read more

City Tacos - Excellent, no-frills tacos with a fabulous fixings bar! - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Went to City Tacos on a recommendation of a friend. I'm Mexican so I thought maybe this could be the place! Ah... NO! Tacos were mediocre at best, not much taste, corn tortillas below average. About the only good thing was caramelized onions and a pepper on the side. Without a good taco means squat. Below average tacos. read more

Best taco spot in AZ! Service is always amazing and the topping area is always fresh and never missing anything. If you haven't gone I HIGHLY recommend it. Thank u city tacos read more

Hi! I ended up ordering from City Tacos to use a credit from an app that was reaching expiration. I had never noticed or heard about this place before, and, wow, what a nice surprise. I ordered Tripa, Birria and Shrimp burritos and all of them were good. They packed them in disposable containers with onions and a jalapeño on the side for each. Shrimp burrito had a lot of beans, though, but it was still very good. I did order for pickup and the order was ready on time. No opinion on service since I did not dine in. There is plenty of parking, which is important to me LOL. Will be ordering from here again, hopefully soon. read more

One of my favorites in Phoenix! Great options for tacos, vampiros, Gordita's, burritos and quesadillas! Several meats to choose from, carne Asada, Pollo, Al pastor, tripas, shrimp! And very unique choices! I personally love the carne Asada baked potato...YES BAKED POTATO!!! Soooo good! Give it a tryyy!! read more

I really like the food here. Most items on the menu are really good. The Toritos are one of my favorite things. This is a counter service venue, so you order and they bring what you order to you. They always have good service. Ambiance is nice and quiet. They also have draft beer! That is my favorite part. read more

Place is nice and clean, menus everywhere. Food was delicious, except the Birria taco was missing the cheese thing and fried on fried on the flat top with the soup. But everything was tasty. The taco Tuesday prices are amazing. 3 tacos and a beer for $10!!!! My new favorite spot. Service was prompt, pleasant and professional!!! Be back soon. read more

The chicken is not white meat, so I took a chance and ordered two carne asada tacos and it was a good decision. Not sure if they changed names, but it was my first time and meat was all lean, on corn tortillas and had some grilled onions and good salsa in the box. The salsa came from the salsa bar, which is messy, but loaded with items. Will be back. read more

Great service and great food definitely recommend them to everyone in the area. I went there w my dad

Asada burrito was excellent. The chips were overpriced and burnt. I look forward to coming back but will skip the chips.

Great tasting fresh food. Tacos, beans, and toritos are delicious. Extra good value on taco Tuesdays. read more

My wife and I ate here last week and we ordered an Al pastor burrito and some Tacos...canned asada and al pastor. Burrito was $12.99 and was mostly tortilla. The pork had some fatty pieces and so did the tacos. We ordered ships and salsa as well. The chips were good, but I ordered an 8 ounce salsa to go and it was pathetic! Super watery and very little flavor and zero heat. The salsa bar is decent, but if you want something hot, don't go here. There are too many other good taco spots. Not worth it for the price. The burrito should be priced at seven bucks based on what I had. My two cents. read more

The best tacos! Prices are good and they pump the food out! I love the salsa bar to grab all the flavors you need for your tacos. They are so friendly. read more

This place is a consistent local favorite. We go here at least two or three times a month and it never lets us down! The food is always great and awesome service. Clean and delicious place to enjoy! read more

Delicious every time we love the salsa and guac definitely something simple easy and convenient on nights when it's needed

Food was good but it smelt very strongly of sewage, did not have much of an appetite after that :/

Solid performance today on carne asada tacos. Prepared to order I bet, not waiting on the grill until jerky like some places. Thick fresh corn tortillas and the bit of carmelized onion tucked inside are great, but I added cilantro and onion, and pico de gallo. Tacos were accompanied by a grilled pepper, delicious!! Salsa bar is the most extensive I have ever seen. Cucumbers, radishes, pickled peppers and a generous array of toppings including fresh cabbage, crema and a broad assortment of salsas and sauces. Menu bears more exploration! I see a number of unfamiliar dishes I am excited to try! I will definitely be back! read more

City Tacos - Two carne asada tacos on corn tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

New spot! We get the carne asada burrito and it never fails! Great flavor and size as well

I went to City Tacos on 9th and Bell today with a couple of friends. This was my first time there. It has a very nice setup with quite a few tables. I had the Asada tacos and my friend had shrimp tacos. Everything was really very good. There is a really nice salsa bar that had lots of different items on it. I enjoyed it so much that I brought an asado burrito to my son and it came with roasted onions and a roasted pepper. He thought it was great too. I would definitely recommend that you try this place. read more

Tried eating here on more than one occasion almost never get the order right as well as have found hair in my food more than once and last time I had the food here there was an unidentified crunchy thing in my fries Tyr's accident but into hard as a rock and pink on the inside absolutely disgusting and definitely not edible still to this day don't know what it is made me puke immediately would not recommend this place! read more

The reason why city tacos is not receiving a one star is because they have a couple tasty items on the menu such as Gorditas and the Mulas . But the reason why they are receiving a two star is because the burrito that was $10.50 is not worth that much there's more tortilla than meat. I had to create my own little burrito with pieces of the tortilla with the little meat that I had. city tacos manager told me otherwise they portion out their meat and that's the portion that it's supposed to be. And that's fine. It's a good tasty burrito for your kid. I would highly suggest staying away from the RICE. There's an ongoing issue on why their rice taste like Fabulosa. It's a good place to maybe try once and nothing more. read more
