It was decent generic Mexican food it not to crazy like everyone's saying how it's the best perfectly seasoned no Its just regular Mexican food not the best either a good 5 out of 10 it was over priced 50 Bucks for 8 tacos n a burrito very overrated read more

These food truck tacos are so darn good! The al pastor tacos are my fave and I come and eat here just for them! The meat is spicy, juicy, and has such great flavor. Get it with the toppings (cabbage, onion, cilantro) and bam your mouth will thank you later. Also, make sure to squirt on the green and red salsas! Don't let the location steer you away from this place since it does tend to appear a little sketchy! I've eaten here at different times of the day and I have never felt uncomfortable! Oh and it's CASH ONLY! read more

I know what you're thinking it's a food truck how good can it be? Well let me tell you it was delicious and if you're ever in the area and hungry you will not regret stopping here. They have 2 different food trucks one that has Sonoran hot dogs and seafood. The other has tacos, burritos, and other Mexican food dishes. It was four of us that ordered different foods and we all tried each other's, and I have to say every single thing I tried was soooooo delicious!!! I can't say that enough to be honest. I also had an horchata which I can tell was homemade and not made from the powder packages so super thumbs up there. They also have two seating areas and plenty of parking. I know that every time im in the area I will stop by and make sure to show up with an empty belly. read more

La Frontera - Food Trucks Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

On my trip to Phoenix, I set out to find something local and unique to the tune of cow head and tongue tacos and a Sonoran hot dog from a taco truck. From what I can tell, La Frontera is one of the only places you can get a Sonoran hot dog during the day. Most of them are parked later in the day, ready for bar goers. The funny thing was is that there were actually two trucks on site, and only one of them served the dogs so I ended up at both. Chicago has its celery salt and pickles, and New York has its sauerkraut and mustard, but in Phoenix, they've got Sonoran dogs. Hot dogs are never my go to food but this combination is BOMB. The Sonoran-style hot dog, found also in Tucson and in neighboring Sonora, Mexico, is a hot dog wrapped in mesquite-smoked bacon then cooked on a grill then topped with beans, grilled onions, fresh onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise, cream sauce, mustard and Jalapeno salsa or sauce and served on bread and often with a side fresh-roasted chili. It originated in Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora. I also ordered a cow head (brain) and cow tongue taco. I'd had cow tongue as a youngster so I wasn't too surprised but the meat of both was mushier than I'd like. I'm also not a huge fan of the corn tortillas but the cilantro and cucumbers were refreshing. I felt a little out of place here. Everyone else was Mexican and non-English speaking but we managed. Despite the language barrier, I got what I wanted and he even knew I didn't know where to get the Mexican coke I ordered so he stepped out of the truck to show me the ice chest along the front. I thought that was pretty nice. Cash only! SUPER cheap. read more

When I told people back home I was moving to Phoenix, I always got one of two responses: "It's hot as hell... but it's a dry heat" and "I hope you like Mexican food." Well as luck would have it, I'm a major taco guy, and La Frontera is the real deal. It's in a parking lot behind a Jack in the Box, and the eating space is constituted by a few tables outside under a tarp with pigeons and a stray cat hanging around. In my opinion all of that really authenticates the whole experience. They have all the meat choices found at any legit taco shop, and they do them well. Someone once told me you can really judge the quality of a good taco place by their tortillas. Well, this place definitely makes their own and fries em up to perfection. I would definitely recommend the asada, lengua, al pastor, and chicharon tacos -- maybe the cabeza if you like some good head ;) Also the chili verde burrito is a delicious, fat ol thang at $6. Throw some cilantro-lime crema sauce on that bad boy and settle in for the ride pal. They're open late night and are pretty much the perfect way to cap off a Friday or Saturday night downtown. Also, I went another time Sunday afternoon, and there was a lady selling fresh caramel churros out of a plastic Walmart bin. Do yourself a favor and buy like ten of em. Cash only, and helps if you speak Spanish. read more

La Frontera - I do not apologize for the terrible lighting bc this was taken at 1 am, when these tacos are meant to be consumed - Food Trucks Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Tacos are so bomb and fresh here! #SCRUMPTIOUS ! There's only a handful of great tacos spots and this is hands down one of the best!

Brush up on your Spanish and get ready to try the best burrito Phoenix has to offer. This food truck doesn't seem like much at first glance. It sits in an open parking lot by the Jack in the Box on 16th and Van Buren. Tables are under a covered area and you'll likely see some people there trying to sell random knickknacks. It's possible you may even hear a couple ambulances go by. But if you're in the area, this is a must stop. This is a local hangout spot and you'll be pressed to act the part. Check out the menu, use Google translate if you have to, and you'll likely need to make your order in Spanish. If that doesn't scream, "this is authentic," I don't know what does. Pro tip: the food truck is cash only. They're open until 2am and I can assure you, there are still people lined up at 1:45am to get food. The burrito de chile verde with carne de cebrada (shredded beef) is an instant classic and only costs $6. They'll serve it to you in foil while it's still incredibly hot, and give you a plate of cucumber to help you cool down. If you're not a fan of shredded beef, I had a friend substitute the beef with pollo (chicken) and another friend went a bit more wild and substituted in cabeza (brain). Get the salsas too as they are amazing. Just don't overindulge on the red if you can't handle spicy food. Apart from the food, make sure to get the horchata which is $2.25. It comes in a huge cup, is an amazing complement to the meal, and provides you that extra bit of sweetness to make the whole experience complete. Seriously, what are you waiting for? This place is amazing. read more

This place is a taco truck on a parking lot with tables and chairs available to sit. The place is clean and the tacos are delicious. The tortillas look and taste homemade and they give you a lot of meat. I brought the hubby here for his birthday because he specifically asked for tacos. We came here around 10:30pm on a Saturday night after a show at the Herberger Theater. We ordered cabeza, lengua, chicharon, and carne asada tacos. All meats were tender and flavorful, so you don't need to add anything else but they do give you two different salsas, limes, and some cucumber slices with your order. The cabeza meat was juicy which I like. We both ordered jamaica juice and were pleased that it wasn't too sweet. Sanitation wise, I really like that someone takes your order and money, then a different person makes your food. The hubby loved it here and says we're coming back! read more

This is probably supposed to be a secret, but... this is the best Mexican food in Arizona. Yep. Said it. Come here and say otherwise! Carne asada is perfection. Street tacos at their very best. Everything is cooked on the spot. I am so glad I found this place. Any time I'm remotely close I have to stop and get a taco or burrito. Cash only read more

This isn't Mexico tacos if your trying to find a taco truck like it but it's alright that's why I gave them a 4. The horchata tho, supposed to be thick and sweet but it wasn't I hope they can change this in the future. The price is good and service as well read more

What a wonderful experience even in 98 degree heat. Sat outside, lovely breeze. It's the way America use to be. It use to be (individuals / families) owned all the restaurants before the corporate raider barbarians stole all the corner lots across the country in every town city, and hamlet. Individual entrepreneurs / families put in everything they had to give the best food , best service. That's what we got even with my terrible Spanish , bad memory. Delicious fish tacos. Delicious cheeseburger. Reasonable price. Bring cash, and your Spanish dictionary. Nice people, fun sitting under the shady tent. Strike up a conversation, make new friends, then go home and smoke a huge doobie. Life is good. Don't forget to vote blue in 22 all the way. read more

I'd actually give this a 3.5 if I could. It's definitely your authentic Mexican street tacos with homemade corn tortillas. I find it hard to find decent al pastor tacos in the valley, which keeps me coming back. Price is pretty good as well for your typical meats ($2 a taco). There's a few items on the taco list that they charge for $3. Not sure if they have a taco Tuesday discount. I've had the al pastor, pollo asado, and carne asada. All are pretty descent, but could hold back on the chicken though. I do find that they all lack flavor, and could use more salt. I find myself having to drench the tacos in their guac sauce and red mild sauce (these also lack flavor as well). You can also ask for cooked onions and Serrano peppers, which gives a lot more flavor to the tacos. Overall, it's nothing I crave, unless I want al pastor tacos for a good price. They have a few spots through out the valley. Also have specific trucks for seafood/mariscos. read more

Great food. Fast service. We had chicken and pork tacos, beef burrito, and my fave was the El Pastor burrito! Really good guacamole sauce in squeeze bottle along with a red sauce. Not to spicy, just right. Burros came with cucumber slices, and everyone got half a lime. read more

They speak very little English but the food is sooooo fresh and flavorful. I always get Al pastor, Carne asade and lengua. My favorite is the pastor. It explodes with flavor in your mouth and it's sooo juicy! I take all my friends here who want authentic Mexican. Who doesn't love taco trucks?! PS. Green salsa is better than red. read more

Items Ordered: (6) Carne Asada Taco & a Mexican Coke. Total Bill: $14 Overall Satisfaction: Full bellys late at night = True Bliss What a little gem! We are always looking for late night places to eat. It's usually 10 or 1030 by the time football practice gets done and we never have a plan for dinner. So having reliable late night places to eat is a invaluable resource. We keep describing this place as a quintessential Hole in the Wall Restaurant. But the truth is there's not even a wall for the whole to be in. It's literally a parking lot with a couple of food trucks and a couple of impromptu patios under tarps. And here's the best part... they're open til 2 a.m. . And they're busy. Not so busy that you can't sit down and enjoy your meal, but way more busy than you'd expect a food truck to be at 11 o'clock at night in the middle of the week. So what about the food? We really only had the carne asada, but let us tell you this, it was on point. Meat cabbage cilantro and onion are all chopped up fine and the tacos are literally stuffed. They have an option to add extra meat for a dollar but the tacos are already so full we don't know where you would put all that extra meat. Overall a very good food truck experience in the heart of Phoenix. We felt like Anthony Bourdain will be sitting there one night reviewing the place. read more

La Frontera - (3) Carne Asada Taco for $6. Love the cucumber...delish! - Food Trucks Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The tacos I had here - chicharron, carnitas, pollo, and carne asada - were really good and so inexpensive. They were very well-seasoned, with a little bit of spicy kick; If you want more heat, the tables have plastic bottles of red and green salsas. This is beyond hole-in-the-wall, though: La Frontera consists of two trucks, each with a blue tarp and dining tables and chairs beside it. Both are kind of permanently stationed in a lot on 16th Street near Van Buren, with a Watermill station in the middle of the lot. I got my tacos from the truck nearest the street; the other truck is for mariscos and Sonoran hotdogs. read more

I've been to Mexico. These are not Mexican street tacos. The location and hours are great for me, it's on 16th Street (east side of street) and is open 24 hours. The menu varies from burritos to tacos and a few things in-between. They speak functional English there, so you can order, but picking up may be difficult if you don't know how to count in Spanish (they announce order numbers in Spanish). I had to help a non-speaking couple get their order. The people that frequent this place range from families to cholos. Just depends on what time of day you go. During the daytime, I would prefer to go to Rancho Market a block away (they have better al pastor tacos). I ordered 5 tacos, 5 different meats. The pork tacos all blended together flavor wise, it was hard to really tell the difference between the al pastor and the adobada. The cabbage they put in was dry, and deterred from the flavor. I took the cabbage out of the other ones after the first taco. The salsa is where this place tanks. It's rather bland and the spice is way off. Their menu is confusing at first, but stare at it for 2 minutes and it starts to make sense. Essentially it asks you what type of meat you want for taco, burrito, burro etc etc. All in all, I'm disappointed considering the hype around this place. I still drive an extra 20 minutes to Super Burrito, which has better salsa for the tacos (albeit their tacos are also not that great). read more

Came here after just landing in Phoenix to grab some late night tacos, it's pretty cool that the trucks have their own parking lot and there are two different trucks with what seems like two different menus, but after the novelty, the food isn't all that amazing. The tacos came out to about $1.50 each, which is slightly more expensive than what I'm used to, especially for tacos of this quality. The service however was great, and they were super friendly about explaining their menu and what all the different meats were to anyone who didn't know, which is not as common as you would think in food trucks. I wouldn't say the quality here is amazing, but if you're coming around the area and looking for some dirty street tacos to grab a quick bite and maybe even hang out with friends in the parking lot, come by and give frontera a shot. read more

Was craving street tacos & Yelp steered us here. We tried the carne asada, carnitas & al pastor - carnitas was my favorite. It was very moist and tender. Ordered a carne asada quesadilla to share. Stay away! It was super greasy. The grease had soaked through the paper bag completely by the time we got home. I thought the grease had filtered out into the bag but nope more grease as I picked up a slice - it covered my hands. This was inedible. Verdict - tasty street tacos but stay away from the quesadilla! read more

I arrived in Phoenix at around 9pm for a business trip, checked into my hotel, then realized I was hungry and everything around me was closed. I pulled up yelp and looked for some cheap latenight eats, and found this place. Getting to it is a bit of a pain if you aren't local as the roads are split by their light-rail system, even when they are one way, so being on the wrong side of the tracks, means you can't turn to get here. I wasnt sure what to expect when I pulled up, but what I found was pretty awesome. Standing alone in the middle of a parking lot, at midnight, was La Frontera. A jack in the box around the corner seemed to be the only place open other than this, that I could see. But here I was, with literally 20+ other people in the middle of the night, getting some awesome food. The selection is pretty standard. Tacos, Burritos, Tacos, etc. with your choice of the normal meats (Asada, Pork Verde, Chorizo, etc. The staff primarily speak Spanish, but it wasnt an issue to order, Although they did call my number in Spanish, so I could see that getting confusing if you don't know Spanish) The food was FANTASTIC. Best Carne Aasda and Chorizo I have had in a long time. Fresh toritllas, great tasting meat, good fillings, a good size, and cheap. Tonights my last night and I am going to try and make it over again before I leave Arizona, as it was that good. read more

Came upon this place after me and the hubby didn't want to end our night with Filibertos or any other fast food chain. Yelp to the rescue! Saw that they had good reviews so we decided to check it out, and glad we did! The tacos were a good size, the price was right and the flavor was there. Unlike other taco places I've tried since moving here, this one reminded me of the taquerias in San Francisco. also my husband liked the tacos which is saying a lot because he's picky with the foods he would actually admit to liking. Will definitely be coming back here again! :) read more

There are two trucks here. La Frontera #1 serves tacos (til at least 12:45am). La Frontera #3 serves seafood and hot dogs closing as at about 11:00pm.

Have tried a few breakfast burritos in Phoenix and this is the best. My daughter got a chicken and it was also outstanding. Highly recommend. It's a street food / food truck vibe which is a nice atmosphere, I often prefer to a restaurant. Extremely nice staff. For the food adventurous they also have cow head (brains) tripe tongue etc. read more

The best burritos hands down. Even though it's a food truck the food there is bomb. Highly recommend. Fast, good & prices are reasonable.

Amazing food! They are always consistent and I've never had any issues with them. The carne asada is to die for and the green salsa is delicious. They really care about the food and make sure everything is prepared properly. 100/10 would recommend. And on the weekends if your lucky sometimes there's a little vendor there on the side selling donuts and churros in the morning. They are also delicious. read more

Best Mexican food trucks in Phoenix! Try the vampiros off of truck #1 also the chorizo torta is great to take home and heat up for breakfast. Can't go wrong with any of their burritos.

People who've written reviews here must not have been served the same food I just had. Pulled up to a parking lot with two different taco trucks that said Frontera 1 and Frontera 3. Okay... battle of the taco trucks maybe..? Nope, one serves your typical meat tacos and the other serves seafood tacos and hot dogs. Definitely will need basic Spanish when ordering here. Luckily, I know enough Spanish to get me by. Ordered 3 tacos de asada and 1 pastor. I was curious to check out Frontera 3, so I walked on over and figured might as well give it a try. Ordered taco de Cameron and hot dog (since reviews raves about it) Here comes the food: Asada tacos - small burnt chips of beef with a hard tortilla. Definitely not worth $3 Pastor - slight hint of pastor but too burnt to tell Tacos de Cameron - order it empanizado because that's the only way to order. But maybe you shouldn't order at all. Nothing like what you can get in Mexico. Hot dog - small dog, big bun. My appetite wasnt there anymore while I was eating this so maybe it isn't the best evaluation. Overall, probably won't be coming here again. read more

This find is gold, and I'm not sure if I am ready to share this to the world. They're located in an empty parking lot behind a Jack in the Box on 16th street. This place is so authentic you have to order in Spanish. I've tried the carne asada, lengua (cow tongue), barbacoa, and pollo tacos. It comes on cucumbers on the side with green and red sauce. This last time, I tried the burrito de chile verde, filled with what I believe was very tender carne asada meat inside. Horchata comes in super large size. The prices are super cheap for the quality of the food. read more
