Located on Roosevelt Row, Taco Boy's has a parking lot. It's not big, but I found a spot on a Thursday evening. Ambiance (3.5/5): Taco Boy's is a little chaotic. You order at the counter and then they call your name when your food is ready. It's not a large taco joint, and it's a popular taco joint. Which means you'll see a lot of people cycling in and out, as a lot place to-go orders too. Not the most calm experience, but not an issue for me. You'll also come out smelling like meat lol. They have an open kitchen, and it smells fantastic. The downside is that it sticks to your clothes, too. Service (4/5): Service isn't a big part of the experience, but for what it is, it's pretty smooth. They took my order quickly, I paid relatively quickly, and my food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. Drinks (5/5): I'm a sucker for agua frescas. Taco Boy's delivers. They had four flavors available. I went with the pineapple/mango. It's served in a large cup. Good stuff. Food (5/5): I wasn't terribly hungry so I got a small barbacoa quesadilla. Outside of quesadillas, they have tacos, vampiros, and burritos. Your choice of meat including usual suspects like carne asada, al pastor, chicken, etc. They grill all of their food right in front of you and it's absolutely delicious. Fresh off the grill. Flavorful. Well marinated. Quality meats and ingredients. At the complimentary salsa bar, you can stock up on various sauces, limes, cucumbers, etc. I can't wait to get back to have a heartier meal and try out more of their items. Hands-down, the best Mexican food I've had in Phoenix so far (after a year and a half).

Wow, I was blown away by this place! After seeing all the stellar 5-star Yelp reviews, I had to try it out for myself, and now I'm adding my own glowing review. The quesabirria beef tacos with consomme are absolutely amazing! Even though the cheese is melted and gooey inside rather than crunchy and griddled on the outside like traditional tacos, they're still incredibly delicious. The beef is incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The rich, orange-tinged dip isn't too salty or greasy, and the onions and cilantro floating in it add a wonderful depth of flavor. With just a garnish of onion and a dip in the savory broth, these tacos don't even need salsa, but the salsa bar offers a variety of toppings like cucumber slices, cabbage, three different hot sauces, and an avocado salsa. Plus, they serve Jamaica (hibiscus) tea, which is a nice touch. And the staff? They're all so friendly and attentive, constantly checking in to make sure everything is perfect. Their level of service goes above and beyond what you'd expect from most taco shops. Bravo to them! read more

QuesoBirria tacos stole the show! The salsa bar offered fresh sauces, with the roasted one being our favorite. We tried the chicharron (sp?) tacos, carne asada, and Al Pastor, along with fries for our son. Of course, we had to grab a Mexican coke! The staff was friendly and welcoming. If you visit this spot, don't miss the QuesoBirria tacos; the asada tacos were also delicious. My husband is now hooked on this place. While I wished the Al pastor had more flavor and fresh pineapple, it doesn't detract from how fantastic this spot is. It's our new favorite Mexican food spot! read more

By far one of if not the best taco spot in Phoenix and even Arizona in my opinion. I lived in San Diego prior to this so I've had really good tacos but none like this. Super wholesome cashier girls and phenomenal food. I deliver the mail here when the regular is off and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to do that otherwise I'd probably have never found this spot. They have THE best quesabirria taco I've ever had in my life and it's to die for. If you love tacos or even Mexican food in general I would 100% recommend this spot! read more

This Mexican spot swiftly earned a place among our top favorites in the valley. Despite its unassuming exterior, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food surpasses expectations.

I chose shredded beef. A full order of four Tacos Dorados costs $8.00, which is very reasonable, and they were delicious and crispy; the beef was full of flavor. Everything on the menu was reasonably priced and a really good value. I will have to return to try some of their birria, or I'd like to try their ceviche tostadas too.

Lol, this was one of my favorite spots when I lived to your years ago, and they have only gotten better since. The best thing about this spot by far is the service.

Once seated, you can see into the open kitchen where you will find even more hospitality in the beautiful smiles and thumbs up coming from the very skilled female chefs. I ordered the Sonoran and Chili dogs, the Birria with a Limon aqua Fresca- hope I spelled that right! I had the chips and house salsa while I waited which only took about 10 minutes, which was great considering they had a couple of in house diners and a lot of DoorDash traffic. The chips and salsa were really fresh and all of my entrees were top notch and authentic, which is hard to find - even in Phoenix. I would probably work out of the restaurant during the day like some folks use Starbucks just so I could eat the chips and salsa while I work. It's that good - not pretentious, not bougie - just real good Mexican food at an affordable price. What else could you ask for???

As a California native, I feel personally victimized by the name "Cali Tacos."…read more Nothing about this experience screamed California. In fact, I think the restaurant should seriously consider rebranding to "Texas Tacos" because these tacos were nowhere near California standards. Let's start with the tortillas. As you can clearly see, they looked like they had just come out of a refrigerator, not off a grill. Cold tortillas are a crime against tacos. The beans tasted canned, and somehow the rice seemed more refried than the refried beans. That's a level of culinary innovation I wasn't prepared for. Then there were the wings. Respectfully, if a taco shop can't get tacos right, why are we branching out into wings? The sauce tasted suspiciously like it came straight from Costco. Not that there's anything wrong with Costco, but I wasn't expecting a wholesale club collaboration. Now, I will give credit where it's due: the jamaica agua fresca was absolutely delicious. It was easily the star of the meal and the only thing that transported me anywhere close to Southern California. As the only Black person in the restaurant, I also felt a certain vibe from the staff, and not in a good way. Maybe it was because I was standing next to my Mexican husband. Maybe it wasn't. Either way, the service felt uncomfortable enough to notice. If you're looking for authentic California-style tacos, keep driving. If you're looking for aggressively average Arizona tacos, congratulations, they've absolutely nailed the assignment. One star for the tacos. Five stars for the agua fresca. Overall, the jamaica worked harder than the entire kitchen.
