Baja fish taco
Donn O.

Ordered one taco and a bag of chips. Was told it would be 15 minutes. No one else currently in the restaurant. Almost 40 minutes. Never again! Place is horrible. Half the menu is blocked out with things unavailable. Stay away, place has gone down the drain.

Rib eye taco

Leaving this review feels pretty tragic. We decided to come try this place despite the bad reviews. Calling the service slow is an understatement. I cannot fathom how it is even possible for it to have taken as long as it did. We came on a Friday night, it was not notably busy. I'm talking maybe 2 or 3 were before us. They only had 1 girl that was the cashier, and server. She told us it would be about 20 minutes to get our food. It was more like 1 hour. We ordered the Backyard carne asada plate - flavor of asada and rice were good, beans were meh. Wish they gave guac with it and maybe onions and cilantro. Salsa was pretty good. fish taco - tasted good and was a good portion pastor taco - did not taste like pastor - pass on this short rib birria taco - good, not special - would pass on this rib eye taco - worth the hype, it's actually very good but can't see ourselves waiting an hour for them. There was lots of seating outside and a little bit of seating inside. It was pretty clean and had bright fun colors. I would advise that they only open 4-5 tables at a time and maybe just tell customers it's an hour instead of 20 minutes. I saw at least 2 people in the kitchen. Which is not a lot but I am guessing there is not much of a process yet. I imagine most of these items are assembled to order but it should not take that long to cook up some thin pieces of meat in my opinion. They have so much potential but definitely need some manpower and managing if they want to be successful.

Fish, el pastor, carne asada tacos
Megan C.

Inside location is a little small, but plenty of outdoor seating. It was pretty hot so we ended up taking ours home. Service took a little longer than I would expect, but not unreasonable. You order everything at the counter and then they call your name. We ordered fish, carne asada, el pastor, and ribeye tacos. All of the tacos were good, but nothing exciting. However, the reason I will be back is the ribeye taco. Just get 1 or 2 of those and you're probably set. The meat is juicy, the flavor is fantastic, and the portion is generous.

Al Pastor taco
Bill W.

The service is very good but it's order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table. Of which they only have 4 small tables inside but several outside. The menu is large. Too large. You really should look at the menu online before you come in. I ordered the queso birria taco and one Al pastor taco. The birria was very tender but needed more flavor. The Al pastor meat had zero flavor. Unlike other taco places they don't have a salsa or condiment bar. If they added a salsa bar I'd try the birria again by the birria a mile down Alma School is so much better. Very average.

Need to lose the paper on the bottom

Had the backyard plate with steak grilled onions with the sides. Losing a star for the itty bitty salsa containers. Salsa and pico were spot on for bust out flavor. Service needs to step up the friendly factor. Just a few table inside so go when the weather it right to be sitting outside. I'd love to see a salsa bar in this place.

NY Steak tacos! The best friggin' tacos! Seasoned, flavorful, juicy, spicy, perfect! Worth $7.00 ea!
Victor H.

Oh, what a find! I heard about Gordo's Tacos and I also caught an Instagram clip of the rib-eye tacos. What even impressed me the most was the $7.00 price for what looked like a breakfast steak in a taco shell. I finally talked the wife into driving into Chandler to try Gordos Tacos newest spot on Alma School Rd. I was looking forward to trying their rib-eye tacos. When we arrived the restaurant was smaller than expected. They had a few tables inside, but more on their outside patio. We browsed the menu on the wall which had quite a few selections. But I wasn't deterred. There was a written note covering where the Rib-Eye taco was on the menu. Written on the note was ' New York Steak tacos. Ok, no problem! We ordered three New York Steak tacos and crossed our fingers they would be prepared the same way as their Rib-Eye tacos, charbroiled whole. It took a while for our order, but we weren't in a rush. When our order arrived, we weren't pleasantly surprised. Although the guacamole and salsa that is typically served on rib eye tacos was replaced with grilled onions and salsa; it wasn't a big deal. We took our first bite and BAM! Flavor bomb! The steak was seasoned well, charbroiled to perfection, and flavorful. They were surprisingly tender too! My wife said it was the best taco she ever had. I'm bringing my son and riding buddy here next. They will love this! For $7.00 each, it's a steal! Two tacos and I was more than satisfied! I didn't feel bogged down and sluggish like I normally would be if I ate a burrito or tacos with rice and beans for example. I will add guacamole or guacamole salsa next time though. It's just more eye appealing. See you soon Gordos, possibly at your Ahwatukee location since my son lives closer to that location!

Takes a while to get your order, but everything we got was bomb.com.... Highly recommend!!!

The Ribeye taco will thrill you!
Aaron F.

The Ribeye taco is a game changer. I double dare you to try one. Get the hot sauce on the side to ensure you don't die, but it's good! I came on my birthday and recieved a free desert.

Delicious tacos with many different choices ! Service was friendly and fast ! Ambiance was okay it's not a fancy place but clean. Not a place to linger eat and leave bro. Flip that table ya know ! Be back to try more stuff. Expensive but great quality and generous portions.

Desiree D.

Gordo's Tacos is a great little fast casual spot that just opened up in Chandler, and it's definitely worth checking out. It's a small location, so don't expect a ton of seating, but the food is fantastic. We ran into a minor issue where their POS system was down, so it was cash only that day. I am so glad I ordered the loaded baked potato. It was amazing and massive. Even with the tech glitch, the speedy service and the incredible food make this a solid addition to the area.

Quesa Birria
Simon Y.

Came here after seeing the IG posts about the ribeye taco but also wanted to try a few of the other items. We got the Ribeye Taco, Tequila Lime Shrimp Taco, Quesa Birria, and Shrimp Ceviche Tostada. Overall, everything was delicious but the Ribeye Taco stands out compared to the other items or even tacos from other places. It's cooked perfectly so still maintaining the tenderness but also perfectly seared for the crispy outer edges. The seasoning was well done balancing the savoriness of the meat, paired with a sauce that'll give you a nice kick, then cooled down with the creamy guac. While the other items were great as well, I wholeheartedly recommend the ribeye taco. Other notes, the Shrimp Ceviche Tostada was my second favorite, followed by the Shrimp Taco, and lastly the Quesa Birria. While the Birria wasn't bad by any means I just had higher expectations given the #1 taco note, otherwise still enjoyable. Also, I wasn't expecting to enjoy the veggies as much as I did in the Shrimp Tacos. The cabbage slaw and roaster red peppers honestly could've served as it's own veggie taco. All in all, I'll be back for more ribeye tacos and I also noticed they had a NY steak taco written on post-it. Hopefully it'll still be available next time I'm here.

I went with my wife and some family members. We rushed before 4pm on a Sunday to get there but they stayed opened well past Sunday hours. I got two carne asada tacos and the ribeye taco. I got the salsa on the side to control how picante I wanted it. That worked well. Salsa was good! My wife got quesabirrias with its consomé. It was all yummy, worth the price and visit.

Gordos ribeye tacos
Jody M.

We have LOVED Gordos ribeye tacos but no more . Dropped in to get the $10 each ribeye tacos to no A.C. inside and smelling like sewer. We felt so sorry for the workers. We still decided to get our tacos. Sadly they were HORRIBLE. Meat was so overcooked that we couldn't even cut it with a steak knife. The tortillas were old and the guac was brown. Gordos, you let us way down .

The big one is the Nashville Chicken. Also pictured are the Classic Birria Taco and the Carne Asada Taco

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the ribeye taco flavor, large menu variety, and friendly staff. The space is also clean.

Excellent Catering Experience -- Highly Recommend! (**SPANISH translation below**)…read more We hired Tacos Calafia Catering for my birthday celebration at our home and had an absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end! The food was delicious, fresh, and a huge hit with our guests. So many people commented throughout the evening on how good everything was, and just a few days later, one of my friends was already asking me for their contact information so she could recommend them for another event. That says it all! Alex and Adán provided excellent service. They were professional, friendly, organized, and made everything so easy for us as hosts. It was such a pleasure having them be part of our celebration. Our family just moved from Canada to Arizona in January, so we are still discovering local businesses we can trust, and Tacos Calafia is definitely one we will happily use again and recommend to our friends. Great food, great service, and wonderful people. There is a reason they have so many excellent reviews online -- they deserve them! Thank you, Alex, Adán, and the Tacos Calafia team for helping make my birthday such a special evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excellent taco catering in the Metro Phoenix area! **SPANISH translation below** ¡Excelente comida y servicio de catering -- 100% recomendados! Contratamos a Tacos Calafia Catering para la celebración de mi cumpleaños en nuestra casa y ¡quedamos encantados con la experiencia de principio a fin! La comida estuvo deliciosa, fresca y fue todo un éxito entre nuestros invitados. Durante toda la noche recibimos comentarios de lo rico que estaba todo y, apenas unos días después, una de mis amigas ya estaba pidiendo el contacto para recomendarlos para otro evento. ¡Eso lo dice todo! Alex y Adán nos dieron un servicio excelente. Fueron profesionales, amables, organizados y realmente hicieron que todo fuera muy fácil para nosotros como anfitriones. Fue un verdadero placer tenerlos como parte de nuestra celebración. Nuestra familia se acaba de mudar de Canadá a Arizona en enero, así que todavía estamos descubriendo negocios locales en los que podamos confiar, y Tacos Calafia definitivamente se ganó un lugar en nuestra lista de favoritos. Sin duda volveríamos a contratarlos y recomendarlos a nuestros amigos. Excelente comida, excelente servicio y, además, excelentes personas. ¡Ahora entendemos perfectamente por qué tienen tan buenos reviews online! Gracias, Alex, Adán y todo el equipo de Tacos Calafia por contribuir a que mi cumpleaños fuera una noche tan especial. ¡100% recomendados para cualquier persona que esté buscando un excelente servicio de tacos y catering en el area de Phoenix!

The name and logo seemed familiar. As I walked inside I realized I ate at a Tacos Calafia in…read moreAhwatukee/Phoenix about a year prior. This location is large and has a lot of tables inside and outside. There's plenty of room for large parties to congregate together and not bother other customers. There's was also a lot of sunlight pouring into the building which I enjoy. They have a large Arizona-themed wall mural and many other decorations throughout the restaurant. The menu board is both simple and diverse, as you have a choice of proteins (carne asada, pollo, al pastor, cabeza and grilled cactus!) and an assorted way to enjoy them (tacos, burrito, quesadilla, nachos, vampiro, and more). Once you place your order at the counter, they have a nice salsa bar with multiple salsas/sauces, guac, onions, radishes, cilantro, limes and more. There's also a table for all your other dining needs (utensils, napkins, salsa cups, etc). I enjoy places that trust their customers to take what they need and not take advantage of their hospitality. I ordered 3 tacos and grabbed 3 salsas to mix and match. I really enjoyed the Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos, but the Pollo wasn't to my liking (had a rubbery/slimy texture and didn't taste to my expectation). The salsas/hot sauces were fine but I didn't find a favorite. Overall, this was an enjoyable lunch at a fair price and at a nice setting. Thanks Tacos Calafia!

They have a nice little salsa bar where you get your salsa and, pickled onions, cucumber, cabbage, lemon! Hot salsa the green were my favorites! We went up to order I asked the women taking our order what the best items were on the menu because it's our first time eating there! She said " I don't know. I'm kind of new" ammmmm ok so if she hasn't tried the food then she could have recommended what people order most or even ask someone else that was standing two feet away from her.. Anyway my kids ordered first, loaded fries and birria quesadilla, my husband got birria tacos and I tried the three amigos plate ( carne asada taco, birria taco, and shrimp taco) with rice and a churro. Birria tacos, loaded fries, and quesadillas were great! My carne asada taco very good! Omg that shrimp taco was disappointing so nasty, I took one bite and couldn't even eat the rest I threw it away, the texture and flavor were horrible I absolutely do not recommend that's one at all. I have shrimp tacos most places I go and never had one like this. And the rice was burnt we didn't eat it. Churro was not great very dry and not enough cinnamon. I honestly do not think it was worth the $80 we spent there. Very disappointed and will not be going back. I gave it a three start because the atmosphere and the couple items that were ok tasting. Pictures look better than the actual taste.

I heard that there are new owners which makes sense. All the old workers are gone along with the welcoming atmosphere and delicious food we had come to know and love. On our last visit, some in our party got birria tacos and they all came with decently sized chopped bones in them! When we told the server about it, there was no apology - he actually said that is how they make it?!?!? Let me get this straight, you put choking hazard sized bones in your tacos and don't tell anyone to watch out for them? I've included pics and video so you can see what I am talking about. Tacos are my favorite food on the planet and I've had birria tacos at many, many places (including Mexico) and have never encountered multiple bones in any kind of taco for that matter. Unfortunately their carnitas tacos are dry and flavorless. The Super Taco is still pretty good (no bones), but this and our recent experiences here are making us cross this place off of our rotation going forward. Tortas, thanks for the memories, it was a helluva run, pero no mas.
