I was wandering around this area looking for something to eat. I decided to step inside and try a carne asada burrito and I was not disappointed. They were pretty busy considering it was weekday lunch time but my food came out quicker than I expected and was hot and delicious. The ladies running this place were very friendly and attentive to all the customers, greeting them and quickly cleaning tables as they cleared. They are definitely the reason this place secured 5 stars from me. I look forward to coming back and trying something new. read more

Oh man! So delicious. I got the Al pastor, pollo, and asada street tacos. Each had a unique flavor and they were all well seasoned. My favorite street taco was the asada. It's appearing hard to do beans and rice correctly but here, the beans and rice were amazing. The quesabirria taco was the best thing of the meal. So wonderfully crunchy, not soggy. Problematically delicious. The carrot cake was surprisingly lite and not too sweet. The one wish I had was for home made chips. But their home made salsa and hot sauces made up for it. So good and will definitely be back. Great service. A little cramped as it was lunch hour but I was able to still get a seat. read more

Just plain YES! Reasonable prices for downtown, and AMAZING food! Their house-made salsas were phenomenal. And super friendly staff.

Overpriced, and not good at all! Spent almost $20 on this with a bottle water, no sour cream no guacamole no salsa this is a small burrito like from Taco Bell WTF you guys suck! I'm from California we know good Mexican food and I'm also Latino! You guys should be ashamed read more

El Zaguan Bistro - I paid almost 20$ for this steak burrito & a water . No salsa no sour cream no guacamole rip off don't come here. - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I can't believe that I have not left a review before now. This place is a distance from me but when I have a need to be downtown, I stop here to grab a burrito for lunch. The staff is awesome. They are so friendly and service oriented. Stuck between two choices? ask. I did when I first arrived and they directed me towards the red chile jackfruit burrito. I have to say, it's amazing. Easy to order anything to go but a very cool ambience and they play fabulous music if you want to eat in. read more

I recently visited El Zaguan Bistro and found it to be a pretty average experience. The birria burrito was bland, with the rice and beans underseasoned, which ended up masking the flavor of the birria--already lacking depth. The cheese on top was just sprinkled, not melted or mixed in well. My understanding is that cheese should generally be melted and integrated into the dish; when it's not, it feels a bit jarring and overpowering. The service and interior were fine, but with so many other Mexican restaurants in the Valley, I wouldn't return. read more

What a gem! I went for lunch with a group and everyone really enjoyed the food, fast service and friendly staff. I had the quesabirria taco combo (rice + beans) and it was amazing! Frankly, it was the best birria taco I've ever had. The restaurant is cozy and nicely decorated. It's a plus that they serve beer, tequila and various aqua frescas. I'll be back very soon!! Enjoy! read more

One of our first stops on the Urban wine walk. I wanted to try the sample tacos. One bite of my chicken tings, I knew I'd be back later for dinner. Upon returning, the place was moderately busy. I told them I was gluten free and the staff told us she had just the thing for me. An enchilada. I asked again about it being gluten free. Most enchiladas are not. The chef was right next to her and told me how it was made. She did say it has a crema sauce in it and asked if I wanted it. I appreciated that she asked about any other allergies prior to me mentioning it. I asked for less but I still wanted to taste it. My husband ordered beef tacos served with consume dipping sauce. We sat outside and the chef brought us our food. We were in heaven. The food was so good! Perfectly flavored. The salsas were spicy and mild. Both contained a ton of flavor. We ate it all. And wished we had more. The staff and the chef were top notch people. They deserve so much business and support for all the locals in the area. I will return. read more

El Zaguan Bistro - Lunch Special Nachos & an Al Pastor street Taco - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is absolutely amazing! Came to Phoenix on a business trip and decided to check this place out for lunch. The lines were long and it did take about 10 minutes for us to order but it was worth it. The location itself is small and has only a handful of tables but they do offer outdoor seating. Beautiful scenery with the tall corporate buildings. I ordered a Baja Style Burrito and a taco plate with three tacos. Prices were reasonable at about $40 total for the food and drinks. The burrito IS a little small for the price but it was delicious! Seriously, delicious. The tacos de asada and birria were also great! I would recommend this place to anyone interested in some good Mexican food. Being from LA, I can defiantly assure you this isn't a street style or home style type of Mexican food joint but it's worth the visit. read more

BEST tacos I had during my trip to Phoenix. In perfect walking distance from my hotel. I see this place gets busy so I went for an early lunch (around 10:30) and tried a sampling of a few different tacos: asada, birria, and nopalitos. All were absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned! I also ordered chips, salsa and guac. I was hoping for homemade chips but they appeared to be store-bought--which was totally fine, because the salsa and guac were some of the best I ever had. So much flavor!! Also, get the salsa verde in the bottle to add to your tacos, you won't regret it! read more

We're in town and were looking for a place for a quick lunch bite. We walked by and saw how packed this place was and had to stop to see what the commotion was about! And man are we glad we did! We got two of the lunch taco combos trying all the meat options and wow was everything tasty! The birria was DELICIOUS. We saw someone get the nachos and they were huge and the birria ramen looked so tasty! The rice and beans were very good as well. The woman helping us at the counter was outgoing and upbeat, as well as the gentleman who served us our beers and food. Overall, 10/10. If we've ever in downtown Phoenix again we will definitely be back! read more

El Zaguan Bistro - Breakfast of champions. - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Zaguan was recommended to me by a friend from Mexico and it was considerably hyped so I thought there was no way it could be as incredible as it sounded. I was wrong, this place is fantastic. I've lived in PHX and LA for decades and the food and service here are the perfect combination. The ambiance is quaint and although it's not a huge space, it perfectly suits the quick turnaround for orders, the warm personalities of the owners (who are always around day in and day out), and the quality of the food. This place is a gem, and the specials like Birria Ramen or Sonora Ribeye tacos keep me checking in just to see what new concoction is going to feed my soul. It seriously does, it's a spiritual experience. Oh, and it's very affordable. read more

Extremely competent burrito Local place. They said hi and were friendly. Said I was thinking about the Baja burrito. They asked what I liked and made a suggestion to the daily special (surf and turf) at a slightly lower cost and it was very good. Salsas compliment the burrito nicely Surprisingly friendly and good local place that didn't rush you out. Highly suggest it for a comfortable lunch especially if you are stuck at the convention center read more
