Street tacos (pastor top, carne asada bottom)
Jessica S.

This is my favorite close-to-home taco joint. It's a tiny place, but there's always a table when I pop in in-person. I see them dispatching a ton of to-go orders when I'm there, so I know they're staying busy, but I get the impression they're still being slept on. I'd like to call out a few highlights. Corn tortillas: we all know the tortilla is the keystone of a good taco, and their tortillas are my most favorite. They're soft, but sturdy enough to hold the generous amount of meat they give you. Flavor is out of this world. I could eat them every day. Carne asada: always on point. I don't think it's the very best in the valley, but any means, but it's consistently well seasoned and flavorful. Pastor: my personal fave. My stomach cannot support the number of pastor tacos I want to order every time I go there. Their frijoles and arroz are great, too. If you're looking for a new Mexican place in South Phoenix, this is the one.

CARNE ASADA BURRITO
Aja H.

Yummy! Ordered the machaca burrito, green chili burrito and carne asada burrito. All of the burritos were very good and overly stuffed. I appreciated the homemade tortilla and the green sauce was amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of gristle in the carne asada burrito. The staff were very friendly and the inside is well kept. I really love mom and pop shops. Especially the ones that truly care.

This place is FIRE. Customer service was good and very professional. We got our food pretty fast. My husband got the chimichanga plate and that thing was the size of my leg. I got the quesabirria tacos, so far it was the best I ever had. 10/10

CHILAQUILES W/MEAT PLATE
Jeff B.

First time at Don Taco. It was a little place tucked behind Big-O tires. The inside was small with seven tables for four but they also had a steady stream of take-out orders as well. There was no music playing and a small TV in the corner, so it wasn't designed for aesthetics. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and there were five other parties. For a tiny spot, it was very popular. My wife ordered the Combo Hard Shell Tacos while I got the Chilaquiles with Beef. We added an order of Chips and Salsa. It all totaled $33.45. We were hoping to get the chips and salsa promptly but the emotionless cashier said: "I'll bring everything out to you." Sure enough, our entire order arrived in about 12 mins. The portions at Don Taco were no joke. Plenty of protein in their dishes. The flavors were okay but not the authentic flavors that other reviewers mentioned. The chips were actually the best part. No ambiance, mediocre service and so-so food: I'll stick with Fili-B's.

Pozole
Dee H.

Ngl Coming from Cali but also a foodie that travels just for food I was a little nervous about this place. Haven't found much good food in Arizona yet however, I stumbled across this place. It was empty when we got here but I seen a big sign that said pozole! I also went ahead and tried the carne asada taco... NO BUENO. I tried the Pastor taco, it was OK! But let me tell you about the pozole... it was FIRE!!! This bowl saved them for me. I will be back just for a bowl of this for sure. Everything else I would go back to the drawing board.. anyway back to the pozole. Packed with flavor!!! Lots of meat, a great level of spice and not to mention all the meat was "TENDERNISM" if they can stay consistent with that, they have themselves a winner.

Pozole

Pozole is amazing, highly recommended. Super flavorful and came with the perfect sides. Great serving size too. Gotta try their other food, must be amazing too.

Quesabirria, pastor and asada tacos

Street tacos are so good! All 3 of the ones I got were delicious. The chips are also great. Service was incredible and they were quick too. Highly recommend!

I ordered a carne asada burrito, and the meat was full of guts and unable to chew or swallow it, very disappointing, very embarrassing.

Every time I come here it gets more packed, which is both annoying and completely understandable because the food is ridiculously good. The tacos are fantastic, the fries are life-changing, and the hongos fries specifically deserve their own national holiday. This place made the Top 100 food spots in America list, and honestly? Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

They make my tacos just how I ask every time I come, and I make changes! Most recently was last night after a rough rental car situation (avoid NU check those reviews eek) and the bartender was awesome. Quick service, friendly and took my order perfectly. Strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite and if you know me I'm a lemonade girl. Tacos are perfect, the meat has virtually no weird fat on them like most tacos do. Both carne and chicken. Delicious. I'm here for five days this trip and I'm going back for sure, may end up at the Tempe location too. I should mention the great atmosphere and getting I got, a "welcome in" from the ladies behind the counter as well as the bartender I wish I got his name. Thank you for making my night :)

Since this establishment offered various types of tacos, we tried a bit of different kinds and overall enjoyed the differences in taste and texture. Specifically, I thought the sonoran taco was very innovative as it involved two kinds of salsa to provide a color juxtaposition, which also offered the carne asada different experiences in flavor. I also enjoyed the costra taco which was made with caramelized cheese over it, offering a pleasant fried flavor on the tortilla itself. The barbacoa taco was very juicy since the beef was very well-made. In contrast, the carne asada taco was a bit dry for some reason, and relied on the avocado salsa for both taste and juiciness. The fish taco didn't have enough fish, and had a lot of batter around the fish along with excessive pickled onion pieces. Since this spot is located in a very nice area, the arts district, I would recommend it to anyone that's around the area. It'd be a nice lunch after visiting the Phoenix Art Museum, which is only a mile away from here!

I recommend the asada, the hazz, the Lorenza, and anything with the beans. Order at the counter, they'll call your name when your order is ready, and the seating is casual and open. They have a selection of aguas frescos, but I usually like a classic bottled coke for the perfect beverage pairing.

This location is a standalone with a decent patio. Parking is minimal but seemed like there were enough people coming and going. I got a spot right away. Note when leaving you'll have to go right - heading North on 43rd. The staff here were really nice! It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.

Came here for our Friday lunch date a couple of weeks ago (but forgot to write a review)…read more We had a couple of their tacos (I had the Al Pastor as it was only available on a Wednesday ‍ and the wife had the Costra taco and it was all pretty good. Great flavors. We shared their Flamingo (crispy rolled flour tacos stuffed with cheese blend and roasted anaheim pepper, topped with lettuce, sour cream, avocado salsa, pico de gallo and cotija cheese) - VERY GOOD! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We both had the Modelo Especial with lunch as well, as you gotta do it right! Service was quick as it wasn't that busy when we arrived and were seated - but it got busy not long after.. You can see its a popular place and right in the heart of Tempe so no surprises! It's not a noisy place but far, and quite open, so its pretty average for noise. We will be back - as there are some great foodie places around in Tempe, and Taco Chelo is definitely one of them!

First of all, eating anywhere in Tempe, starts with a frustrating time.... Trying to find parking and having to pay to park. I don't understand why restaurants don't have parking for customers. Idk maybe I don't know where to look. Second, it's hot AF in here. I feel sorry for the guys cooking. It's 105 today and the restaurant is so small, it's probably impossible to keep cool during the summer. Finally, the food. It all tastes very fresh! NO SEED OILS is amazing. I feel like I have won something when I find a restaurant that uses olive oil and beef tallow to cook in. Best corn tortillas I have had for sure. We basically tried one of each taco. (Although some of the tacos we ordered were wrong, so we just kept adding) not a big deal, because they were delicious and we loved them. I felt like the carne was chewy but my husband loves chewier meat. The taco with the marlin was my favorite. And the one that came out kind of like a cheese crisp. It's loud in here and again the space is very small. They do not serve wine at all. But yummy margaritas! The bartender is working solo and working hard! She busted her butt and did an amazing job. And smiled the entire time. She was awesome
