This place is great for family and inviting friends! The food is filling and delicious! The only thing I can't find is the nutrition but I don't care cause I use this place as my cheat day! Love the variety and their green hot sauce and red chipotle sauce is to die for! This is my second time here and I'm definitely coming back! Ask for their pickled carrots! They are delicious! They also have some very sweet and refreshing Mexican waters! Prices are reasonable and portions are fair. The girls at the cash register are always sweet and smiling! read more

Got the 3 tacos with rice and beans, really good price! These were the fish tacos, my partner got carne asada. The fish was ok, they weren't breaded which I didn't like but the purple onion and cabbage was a nice touch very appealing. You can tell these people care about how their food looks and tastes. The carne asada tacos were much better, tasted very good. The rice and beans were both great. If I go back I will stick to the carne asada, and try something new too. Nice chill spot, 7.5/10 read more

As a person who is always on the hunt for some of the best food, I wasn't impressed with this place. Overall, ir was just kind of bland, ingredients seemed to lack quality, and salsa choices are limited and not great. I would much rather go to Chipotle than here. That's not saying that it didn't taste good, but it didn't give me a reason to come back nor would I recommend it to friends. If I were looking for good street tacos, I'd choose a place off of McDowell Rd. If you're curious, here's the breakdown of what my group thought: Shrimp taco: my favorite of the order. I'll admit that they make a VERY good shrimp taco. The rest is downhill from this though. Chicken taco: it's just plain chicken with their kinda-gross green salsa (described later in this review). Al pastor: This was the biggest disappointment for me. If al pastor is gonna be street taco-style, I expect it to be similar to the kind that's off a trompo. This, however, was more of an American bbq flavor with hints of pineapple. Not bad, but not true al pastor in my opinion. Asada Arizona burrito: the potatoes were unseasoned and just meh. It didn't have much salsa on it, and the meat (asada) was overcooked to the point where it fell apart like pot roast. Some people may like that, but I like asada to be more like a tender steak. Quesdilla w/ carnitas: the quesadilla was weirdly sweet. My wife wasn't a fan. The tortilla has a more rough, rustic, homemade feel similar to the ones I had in Mexico, so that was nice. They're a little dry though. Rice: Dry and bland Refried beans: always good, but still not great Chips: They tasted like the bargain price kind you get at the grocery store. They're a thicker chip that is barely salted. Bombero sauce: they seem to pride themselves on this sauce, and it is good; however, it is really just a spicy chipotle bbq sauce. Green Salsa: loaded with cumin, so it tastes more like jarred green salsa than fresh tangy tomatillo. Not a fan Red salsa (Chile de árbol?): this was my least favorite alone, but MOST favorite on their meats. It complemented them well. I hoped this helped you on your search to satisfy your taco craving, and have a good day! read more

Heard good things about Los Taquitos so my wife and I decided to give it a shot. The atmosphere was great (we were here on a weekday for lunch and the place was packed) - very good energy. I had four tacos with a side of beans and rice. I had a variety of tacos but the beef was by far my favorite - i would do all beef tacos the next time. My wife had the chicken enchiladas and enjoyed that as well. If you're looking for a place to dine and have a margarita or two - this place would be a good spot (they have a nice bar setup) with a good tequila list. Enjoy! read more

This was a popular spot during the time I was here. It seemed like the whole conference loved this place. I think it was the cheap price and the fast lunch that allured them here. This is definitely a take out or dine in spot, it's fast, and they basically have it set up like a fast food chain. You get in line, go to the counter, order, you get a number if you are eating there, then pick a seat. Seats are limited, so if there's a ton of people there is a chance that you probably won't get a seat. Now, to the food. I ordered the Pastor Burrito and I got it smothered. Don't follow my footsteps and get it smothered. Get it plain, if you want the sauce, get it on the side because to me it took all the flavor of the pastor in the burrito and the overall taste out of it and you're just eating a burrito drenched in sauce. The overall pastor was good, I wish that I never got it smothered and just got it on the side. On the other hand, the fish tacos were good which I would recommend if that's what you want. Overall, this place was good. Great place for quick lunches. Nothing exciting or memorable other than the option to smother the sauce all over the burrito. Check it out if you're low on time and want some quick Mexican food. read more

Do not spend your hard earned money here! Have been frequenting this restaurant for a number of years. At one time in the past staff was hospitable, welcoming, and accommodating... this is no longer the case. They now go as far as to charge you extra if you ask for more than 2 red & 2 green tiny salsas. So get this... you pay for your pick up order from the prepubescent wench who was upset you made her confirm the order that is for your postpartum wife... then you go to the right of the register for someone to ask you what salsa you want.... then after you tell them they say it's extra for more than 2 tiny red and 2 tiny green salas. I WANTED THREE OF EACH....... So, here is a word of advice for your restaurant as you serve people who are dumb enough or unlucky enough to find themselves in your establishment...How about you tell them at the end of their order "would you like to buy extra salsa... your order comes with the maximum of 4..." So a person doesn't have to re-swipe their debit card for a .50 cent purchase. You people are simple, annoying, and illogical. Lost a few customers for life. Now in need to explain to my wife why I choose not to swipe my freaking card again..... lol forget you guys read more

Meh. Why are people raving about this? We got two breakfast burritos 1- egg white with chicken cheese and potato 2- steak and chorizo with beans instead of potato and cheese Barely any meat or egg white in the first burrito. Mostly Potato and cheese. Lots of meat in the second however the steak and chorizo burrito was so incredibly salty, even for chorizo. It was also drenched in oil, even for chorizo. The tortillas were ok. It looks like your getting hooked up with salsa but there's like maybe 2 tbs in each containers. You'd get more food, lower price and same taste and quality on a burrito at Filibertos or Vaqueros read more

Have been here a couple times and did not know it was the same people with the restaurant in Ahwatukee that was on Diners Drive Ins and Dives. This location is very nice and contemporary compared to the original location. This could do very well in North Scottsdale with the decor if it was located somewhere else. The burritos are very good but if you come here you must have the street tacos and the carne asada in particular. The Carna Asada is awesome in the burrito or tacos and you can't go wrong, but would recommend trying other items. I like the fact that you order at the counter and that they call your name. Makes it very informal and casual. I will definitely come back to this location over and over. All i can say is great food and very nicely decorated location. read more

This visit was a long time coming. My husband has came home from work a few times saying he got the BEST street tacos for $1 each on taco Tuesdays for lunch. So as we're starving on a Friday night deciding what is for dinner, what a great time to try those amazing tacos I have been hearing so much about. Once you walk in, it's a small restaurant with tables, a small bar, and a little patio. You walk up to order and then they call your number when it's ready. So great place for a quick Mexican dinner or take-out. No salsa bar and no sit down service. When we first walked in, the girl at register Elisa, just stared at us so we began to order and she just said "ok, what else?" No welcome, no have you been here before, no how may I help you.... Frankly she had no personality and may have been the most miserable person I have ever met. Cheer up buttercup! My husband was surprised because all the other ladies previously have been very nice to him. So erasing the first impression the lady at the register gave me, I moved on to the food with a clean slate. I got the 3 street taco combo with 1 carnitas, 1 carne asada, and 1 el pastor. They were all super good! All the meat was very juicy and flavorful. The El Pastor was my favorite! Very good with so much flavorful. The carnitas was my second favorite. I added sour cream and their green sauce which made it over the top good. The rice and beans were simple but good. Overall I'm hoping the service is normally better but the food was really good and came out quick. I will be back for more and recommend to others. read more

Authentic Mexican dishes from our family to yours

History

Established in 1980.

The story of Los Taquitos began more than 25 years ago when our parents started selling homemade tacos and burritos from a small cart in 1981. The cart was a huge success and quickly became a favorite among locals. Driving that success were recipes and techniques cultivated in Mexico many years ago and passed down from generation to generation within our family. Fast forward to 2000. With the guidance of our mother and the memories of our father inspiring us, we (seven brothers and sisters) opened Los Taquitos in the Ahwatukee community of Phoenix. Since the first day we opened our doors we've carried on the traditions of following our family recipes and serving truly authentic, great tasting food. We've also opened a location in North Phoenix and very soon one in Chander. From the scratch-made marinades we use to prepare our meats, to the shrimp ceviche and everything in between, our entire menu is prepared by hand using the freshest, highest quality ingredients.

To die for. Chips are gratuit. Service is prompt and knowledgeable. The entrance is via the kitchen as this was once a home, now converted into a great eatery. So you come in the side door to the dining room . Wait staff all greet you and guide you to the dining room, festooned with roses and talavera tiles. It's not kitschy, just gorgeous. The menu is ample and you can't go wrong with anything. The initial refrito dip, tho yummy, has pork. But they have the best, the absolute best black beans!! Try them just for a change. You'll be converted. The dining area is small but cozy and beautifully done. So enjoy!!

I'm so glad we finally went to try Casa Corazon. We met with a friend visiting from out of town…read moreduring lunch, and everyone absolutely loved it. The restaurant is inside of an old brick home with wood interior and warm colors. The service was good-- friendly and food came out at a good pace, we were checked on regularly. We ordered an appetizer and then entrees from the lunch menu. The aguachile appetizer is SO good. It's bright, fresh, and has a lot of flavor in the green sauce. It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

I used to live in Phoenix, and I tried this place for the first time literally the same week I was…read moremoving to Denver. Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

Really cool vibe inside

Also bring a group. The portions are huge and the food is clearly meant to be shared. Trust me on this one, bring friends. I've tried a bunch of dishes here, and there are a few I always go back to. For the table, Camarones Locos is an easy choice. The flame grilled shrimp comes out hot and full of flavor, perfect for passing around. La Patrona ceviche tower is massive and worth the order. When it hits the table, you immediately feel good about the decision. El Pulpazo is technically an entrée, but we always order it as a shareable. The octopus is grilled perfectly and it comes with rice and beans, so everyone gets a little of everything. For entrées, my number one pick is the Lobster and Crab Enchiladas with green sauce. I think about this dish at least once a week. The enchiladas are packed with lobster and crab, and the green sauce ties the whole thing together. Honestly, I could talk about this place all day. If you like Mexican food and seafood, you need to try it. Great food, big portions, and a menu that makes it hard to stop ordering.

This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
