Holy F**K!!! 5 tacos + a drink cost 16 bucks! What a fuking rip off!!! Run! Shity taco place! not even good tacos!

Eh - I was really excited to come here on the advice of some fellow taco loving friends but wasn't impressed. On a Sunday afternoon after a trail run I ordered a Carne Asada, Al Pastor and Carnitas taco from the first truck and from the mariscos truck ordered one fish and one shrimp taco. The only thing that was kind of above average was the shrimp taco, which I usually don't like. The fish taco had that "fishy" smell that isn't supposed to accompany food to put in the body.. I took a bite and didn't finish it, I would've taken it back but I had already left and live in the east valley. The food from the real meat truck was much better but not great. All of the tacos were just average and VERY greasy. The meat had a lot of fat and wasn't of a quality cut (grisly and fatty) The flavor was okay after being doused in the red sauce, but lacking anything distinct. For $2 a taco I expected better and would go to the taco truck at 7th Ave and Camelback if you want a quality street taco for half the price. read more

These tacos are literally the best!! I recommend the chicken tacos & a large horchata. They taste better every time!! Food comes out quickly so that's always great too! read more

Love this place try to go every time I'm close by some of the best burritos and friendly ppl

First time visiting Phoenix and I heard the Sonoran hot dogs were a must do. I found this place online and went. It's a food truck with a pavilion set up. They spoke misty Spanish but no issues ordering. They actually ended up not having the hot digs, so I got the green Chile burrito and it was amazing. The tortilla was fresh and homemade. The meat wasn't fatty and tasted nice and juicy. All the additions to it were great, and the salsa verde was to die for. Highly recommend! read more

I grew up eating here. Burritos back my childhood less and still maintained quality and taste. Literally must visit place if u around Central/Sky Harbor area. Next to the Jack in the box. Cash only. Workers Speak English. Better than any Taco Bell. read more

La Frontera is the surprise find of the decade for me. In a city full of street side taco trucks, you'd never think that one would be so tremendous, but there is a reason La Frontera's truck is in the same place every day of the year. It's un-flipping-believably good. Upon first inspection, La Frontera is a mangled parking lot full of haphazardly parked cars, a few bums walking by every now and then, and a lot of neighborhood folks. The unassuming "restaurant" is made up of folding tables and chairs, a blue tarp as a sunscreen, and a truck full of awesomeness. The menu has all the Sonoran Mexican favorites like tacos, tortas, burritos, quesadillas, and chicharonnes. One will order at the counter using as much broken Spanish as possible, while the employee uses as much broken English as possible. Eventually you will find a medium, and you'll complete your order of amazing. When your number is called in Spanish, you'll get your order along with the typical limes, radishes, cucumbers, and salsas. Upon request, they have grilled jalapenos available at no charge. The food here is truly fantastic. The tortillas they use are fresh, homemade, gooey flour tortillas. Their meat is grilled to perfection and marinated exquisitely, which is something you very rarely find in a Mexican street food shop. My pick is the Burrito de Carne Asada, a large flour tortilla teeming with hot grilled beef, beans, salsa rojo, onions, and a bit of cilantro. If you're a taco lover, you'll love the barbacoa beef tacos, a Mexican style BBQ meat with an almost briny, indescribible taste. Wash your meal down with one of their many bottled Mexican sodas, and consider yourself lucky that you got to try one of the finest examples of Mexican street food in the state. I'm so spoiled now and hold just about every burrito in town to this standard... which has led to many disappointments. Be forewarned that La Frontera is cash only, and basic knowledge of Spanish is recommended, though not necessary. Just remember these phrases and you'll be good "Burrito de carne asada, con todo" "para llevar" "es todo" and remember your number. You'll never desire any other burrito from America's again, they just don't hold a candle to La Frontera, especially at twice the price. read more

After hearing about La Fontera for years I decided to give this place a try today for lunch since I don't work to far from it and it was tolerable to sit outside for a change. While I pulled up there was the food truck then a blue tarp with 5 tables under it for shade. I went about 11:45 to beat the lunch hour rush and I'm glad I did. While all tables were full I asked a guy if I could share his table of 4 since it was only him and he was perfectly fine with that. The menu wasn't huge but what they had was perfect. Burritos, tacos, tostadas and a few other things. I did notice that nothing was over $4. They had about 6 different main items (meat, chicken, etc...) for anything you ordered. I had the Barbacoa Beef Burrito (beef, beans, rice, cabbage, cheese). When it arrived it was HUGE! it came with a side of limes, peppers and cucumbers (yummy). This thing had to weigh over a pound! Soooo I thought, great it's wrapped in foil so what I don't eat I'll take home for dinner...WRONG! I ate the entire thing! The tortilla was awesome and so fresh too (huge bonus for sure as I love homemade tortillas). They have two sauces you can put on anything as well as the bottles are on each table. One is a red sauce in which I didn't try but the green creamy sauce I did and it was awesome! I put it on each bite. Needless to say I won't be even slightly hungry for dinner tonight!!! This is one of the best burritos I've had in a very long time so I will for sure be back soon! Especially since it's going to start cooling off her (hopefully....). read more

The best fast food Mexican I have had in town, complete with super cold Mexican sodas on ice. I had a barbacoa, lengua, tripita and chicharon taco. 2 hours later and I am still full, and haven't made a made clenching dash to the bathroom yet, so I'd say it was a good meal. The chicharon was delicious, like a taco full of bacon!!! read more

Place is near by my home, so decided to give it a try. I love asada burritos, so thats what i came for. Burrito was Massive, asada and tripa was my choice. Plenty of meat, and the right ingredients on the side. Price is decent, and the choices from the menu are a handful. Will be back for sure! read more

La Frontera - Burrito de Asada y Tripa, 2 tacos de asada de harina, y Limonada fresca! - Food Trucks Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is an amazing taco truck just minutes from the airport. I ordered the amazing ceviche and a barbacoa burrito, while my girlfriend ordered three tacos. I've said it before and I'll say it again here: this truck is an excellent example of the inverse correlation between price and taste in Mexican food. Eat here before your next flight! read more

Looking for a romantic, cozy place to take your date on Saturday night? If so, this is certainly NOT the place for it. However, if you want to practice your Spanish skills and eat awesome food from a truck parked on a busy road, this is your spot! I had two tacos: carne asada and al pastor. Both were excellent. I also had a vampiro with carnitas...kind of like a tostada. The meat is really juicy and tender. All of it tastes like it has been marinating for a good amount of time. I've spent a fair amount of time in Mexico and this made me feel like I was a back there. To my right, a woman selling bootleg DVDs. To my left, Spanish-speaking families drinking soda out of glass bottles. Not the best area of town and to be honest, it smells a little funny...but if that doesn't put you off go check it out! read more

I've been looking for authentic mexican street tacos for five years, and by Lordy-Mae I've found em'! I'm originally from Mexico and like any Mexican will tell "My city San Luis, Sonora has THE BEST tacos in all of Mexico" . It's hard to replicate the flavor or the (sazon) but La Frontera has certainly succeeded. Well done La Frontera, well done. read more

La Frontera - Carne asada tacos and chicharron...Delish - Food Trucks Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Amazing, authentic food! I got the al pastor burrito and the agua fresca limonada and both were incredible. (Menu is all in Spanish just btw) read more

Perfect street tacos. I couldn't stop ordering them. The carnitas, el pastor, and carne asada tacos were awesome, tender and crispy. Pretty easy to find and I had no problem conversing in English (although I chose to practice the small amount of Spanish I know). Totally worth the drive. read more

(16th & Van Buren, BLUE tarp food trucks, next to Jack in the Box) Great tacos, burritos, (chicken, pork, meat, shrimp, fish) tostadas, mexican soup called cocktails of shrimp, fish, octopus (whatever you like), fresh water drinks (horchata, jimaica, etc), even mexican style hot dogs. Everything's pretty cheap. *no restroom. does have covered picnic tables. THIS IS FOOD TRUCK FOOD. read more

Chicharron Carne asada Lengua All three great street tacos in terms of taste. Good flavor from all three tacos and seasoned very well. The chicharron was good, but the lengua and carne asada definitely beat it. The tacos came out to be 6.50, which for me is a tad pricey for streets tacos. I would come back again, and try out the burritos they had to offer. Note: Cash only read more

Good late-night food for those who need a bit of post-bar food. My friends and I were there last week and the food was amazing. Wish they had more of the "side dishes" (lettuce, onions, etc.) available on the side. Maybe they had it at an earlier point in time, but I'm not sure. Make sure you know some Spanish though. Ordering is easier that way. read more

I was in search for a burrito truck like the ones that you can find in Oakland, CA. I was so excited when I found this place on yelp, but I was a little let down on the burritos and the tacos. I don't know if its an Arizona thing, but where is the rice and beans in the burritos, or am I just a weirdo? The tacos were decent, where's the cilantro and onions? Where are my spicy carrots and radishes? The meat was good though. For $4 a burrito and $1.25 for a taco, it was not bad I guess. I wouldn't make the 30 minute trip next time. read more

You'd be silly to pass this place up. Don't get fooled by the food truck environment, because they have top quality, authentic Sonoran Mexican food! I love their Sonoran hotdogs! The are just so good! The staff is very friendly and will answer any questions you have! Cash only! read more

Great Mexican street food! Well ok I should say great burritos because to date that is all we have had here, they are addictive. I order the shrimp burrito with no beans and I ask for cabbage, they are freaking incredible, the shrimp burritos are more expensive at $8 but are worth every penny. My husband orders the beef burrito with no beans. No there is no rice, sour cream or cheese in these burritos, if you want that go to your local crappy chain Tex Mex fast food joint. My husband speaks Spanish, but I'm sure you are fine ordering in english. read more

If you fly into Phoenix and you're starving, be brave and wait until you get in your car and drive 5 minutes to La Frontera. Great street tacos. Don't get scared away by it being off the beaten path. Well worth it. read more

The best carne asada burritos in town!! they actually have the best burritos I ever tasted in my life. You want real Mexican food.. go there!! Thanks to my Mexican friends for introducing this hidden gem to me! OK hear this.. this place is so good I took a friend visiting from DC to it and he liked it so much a year later I was going on a trip to DC he called me asking me to bring 6 carne asada burritos with me and I did!! bought them, froze them overnight, took 'em with me to DC and he couldn't be happier!! TRUE STORY lol read more

Food is great taste and prices are affordable! thumbs up!! you find beef, chicken or seafood food... everything is really good!

Thought I'd try this place out after seeing all the hype on yelp =) .. Came to the conclusion that they are just OKAY.. Not the best. There are much better taco trucks out here. 2 stars for their decent closing hours, place to get food when you have NO OTHER OPTIONS. Either way, if it came down to that I would rather eat juliobertos or Albertos (Etc) read more

Very yummy!!! Wish they used cilantro instead of cabbage but other than that, very tasty. read more

Great Sonoran dogs and shrimp burritos. Good prices (cash only) but you have to eat outside and you're definitely not paying for the atmosphere. read more

I ordered a tostada of pastor... this was off. In the past when I ordered it it would come with avocado, tomato, cheese and the beans tasted old. This was disappointing, the cooks are definitely not as good as the ones in the past, I stopped going because the meat wasn't cooked all the way and the taco tortillas weren't cooked. I went back to see if it would be better but got this... never again. read more

I waited until eating here several times and trying different things on the menu before writing my review. Overall, I've been pretty unimpressed with Phoenix Mexican food since moving here. Turns out La Frontera serves up what I consider to be the real deal. I'm surprised there's not more competition (send me suggestions!). Hands down, the shrimp taco from the seafood side is my favorite. Perfectly fried and comes with a nice sauce. I'd pass on the ceviche...I'm not a fan of the tomato juice they mix it with. From the meat side, I like pretty much everything but tripitas, cabeza, and lengua are my favorites. I usually get a mixed plate of tacos and for some reason, they always seem to mess up just one of my taco meats. Other than that complaint, prices and hours are great. read more

If you want some genuine street tacos like the ones you get in Los Angeles, this is the place to go. I always get a mixed burrito of Lengua and Pastor. Their tacos are great, carnitas, cabeza, lengua, tripas, chicharron and asada. read more

Cheap prices, authentic street tacos, what else can I say this is one of the best food trucks around. Get the al pastor tacos

It is a small lot. You would miss this if you weren't looking for it. The food is great - I love it. They offer many varieties and the toppings are fresh!! Everything is so rich and flavorful- cooked just right!! I love their tortillas read more

Really enjoyed their tacos. Very reasonable price. Horchata was ridiculously too sweet and tasted very artificial. The food was solid, though. Went twice on my trip to Phoenix. read more

Best burrito ever! I'm not a Spanish speaker, but had no trouble ordering lunch. We had one chicken and one shredded beef. Both were great and served piping hot. The burritos are huge, plenty to split. read more

I'm getting tired of yelp being wrong about times places open and what they serve. When I'm driving through a town, I don't have time to waste. This place does not have Sonoran hot dogs and an orange Jarrito was $2.25. To be fair I didn't order any food because all I wanted was to try a Sonoran hot dog which is what I searched for in yelp. read more

The area is a little sketchy but the food makes up for it. The cane asada tacos were loaded with very flavorful and delicious meat. It tasted very fresh. Don't be afraid of eating at this place! read more

Authentic Mexican food! The street tacos are delicious and so are the burritos! It's a food truck so be prepared to eat outside; the tables laid out are very clean and there is always someone walking around cleaning up food and offering help. The service is great! The Horchata is also great! read more
