When I arrived, they were all out of every meat except asada and pollo, unfortunately, so I didn't get to try the meat that I wanted. I ordered two pollo quesatacos and one asada quesabirria to go. The chicken was ok, but the steak tasted really good, good enough for me to want to come back. But I took away one star for me not getting to order what I originally wanted and another star because I believe I was overcharged. They don't give itemized receipts, just a ticket number, so it's hard to tell how they calculate their totals. The quesabirria was $10 and the quesatacos were $3.50 each, so I'm not sure how that adds up to me being charged $24.

THE BEST TACOS I'VE HAD IN THE PHOENIX AREA!! So much flavor, so delicious and a welcoming atmosphere. Quick service, a busy little spot in the evening!

Wanted to try a new taco spot for Taco Tuesday. Took the trek out to AJ to this little taco truck and it didn't disappoint. Between my boyfriend and I, we got 10 tacos for $16! Great taco Tuesday deal. They've got you covered with birria, carne asada, pollo asada, Al pastor and cabeza. We tried them all except the chicken. Great flavor, great value. The Al pastor and carne asada were my favorites. Bonus: they were only playing Pitbull songs on the speaker. ¡Dale!

I moved here to the Gold Canyon area from L.A. in 2015....the tacos here were in 2020 Mad Taco Az moved into A.J. and we are so happy about that. Not only do they have excellent tacos with salsitas muy picoso and grilled chile jalapeños but they have the best owners (super friendly) All the protein they serve is delish but my favorite is the cabeza Go Check them Out!!

Oh my gawd these tacos were good. Amazing tacos with beautifully-seasoned meat, piping hot and fresh right off the grill top, very kind and quick service from the truck team, and a chill atmosphere to eat on site if desired (and if you don't, they'll pack up your tacos nicely for you to take home). There are several taco options here, but I got the pastor and the chicken. Both were so good. Very few places get pastor right. Some places overcook it, some try to hide poor seasoning with too much pineapple. This was PERFECT - tender, savory, amazing. The chicken was excellent too, juicy, just the right amount of chile lime, wow. And I LOVED that each plate comes with sautéed onions and a roasted whole jalapeño. THAT IS HOW YOU TACO! There are so many expensive and fancy-looking taco places all over Arizona, places that'll charge you $5-6 PER TACO, and they're nowhere NEAR the flavor of this place where every taco is $2.50. I will be coming again and again - I've reviewed dozens of taco places around the USA and this was easily in my top 5. It's best if you bring cash to pay here by the way. This way you can leave a tip for the hard working family making these amazing, inexpensive tacos! read more

After regularly eyeballing this food truck from across the street/parking lot for months wondering how the food was, my cousin and I finally decided to give it a chance. I am sure glad we did! The service was friendly and very fast. They have a sunshade and tables set out to allow for a comfortable seat to chow down. I love this touch as it saves you from trying to eat in the car and make a mess! The horchata was amazing and comes in a giant portion (only $4!!!). I had leftover and was able to add a shot of espresso the next day for a fancy coffee! Yum. To eat I ordered a birria street taco ($2.50 each) which was served with lime, grilled onion and grilled jalapeño. The meat had such a wonderful flavor and texture. It didn't even need sauce, but I added some of the green sauce as I am sucker for green sauce. So good! Highly recommend! read more

For months, I've been hearing about how great this food truck was and that I needed to try. I typically stick to a vegetarian diet recently due to health issues, but when I saw cabeza I decided to treat myself to two tacos. The service was friendly and very quick to receive our food. Love that they include a grilled jalapeño with the tacos as I love spicier items. Also, don't skip the horchata as it is easier the best I've had in the valley! Lastly, there is a great view of the Superstition Mountains and love that they set up tables under a pop up tent to enjoy the food. I'll definitely be back and glad I tried them! read more

We dropped in at 8 pm on Tue. this week and got dinner. We wanted the taco plate but they were out of beans (sad face) and she said they didn't really have much rice either. (Even sadder face) Despite this the food was freaking amazing. My husband prefers American food and he devoured every bite and then wanted some of mine. Great flavors and there is no doubt this is now my current obsession. I can't wait to go back!!!!! read more

They are about 3 bites each for me, but plenty of meat and fillings. I ate three with some beans and rice. The food is excellent!

First time in Apache Junction in two years and we were excited to find Mad Taco. And what a find it is! Very pleasant (and appreciative) staff and excellent food. We sampled three types of tacos, a quesadilla, and a churro. Everything was fresh. Salsas were good (especially the green). Roasted jalapeño was a pleasant surprise as a side. The churro was perfect. Will definitely come back and recommend this to anyone who likes authentic Mexican street food. read more

You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach!

The restaurant itself is quaint but very cute and space is utilized nicely. I did expect my turkey sandwich to come with the white bear sauce as it's pictured and advertised with. Came with barbecue instead, I was sad lol.

I had this place bookmarked and was heading back from the hardware store around dinner time one…read moreweekend, so I decided to stop by. The place wasn't crowded, but did have plenty of people inside either waiting for orders or eating at some of the handful of tables. I looked at the big menu display screens and then placed my order at the counter with the nice woman who works there. I had the brisket plate with chili and corn bread as my sides. The brisket (some fatty, some lean so I could try their idea of both) was cooked well and had a good smoke ring. The smoke flavor wasn't as strong as I prefer, but different people have different ideas and less is more when you're cooking for a crowd, so I respect that. Their barbecue sauce (the red one -- I don't put yellow sauce on brisket -- had a good flavor that complemented the brisket's flavor rather than overpowering it.) As for the sides, the chili was OK, but not something that I would order again. I like chili and was curious. Curiosity satisfied. The corn bread was moist and that middle-of-the-road between sweet and savory that is common in much of Texas (at least the parts I have visited). I like mine a little more sweet, but, like the brisket, I am a believer in getting the texture right first. Be aware if you are a fan of the sweet corn breads.

I noticed a clean dining room with a small bar and Mexican music playing in the background. The service was quick, friendly and arrived in just four minutes. My taco enchilada combination was delicious with a good portion of tender carne asada meat. Rice and beans were also very tasty along with some fresh complementary tortilla chips and salsa. I need to visit more often.

It's kinda like ordering at Subway, where you get to choose your roll, either white or wheat, toasted or not, and then choose your condiments and veggies. We got a combo with chips and a drink. A really good sandwich!. We then decided to split a scoop of Happy Tracks ice cream. It was a delicious huge scoop and we couldn't finish it. The two gals working were very nice. It's a cute place hidden in the corner of a retail mall. We'll be back!

If I recall correctly, they served thrifty ice cream years ago, but I was delighted to see Blue Bell ice cream served today. With lots of flavors to choose from! The location is a little quaint inside, but has some great seating outside with great views of the Superstition Mountains. My cousin and I enjoyed the beautiful 72 degree day with our delicious ice cream. We both did my trick that I've been doing since I was a kid, since I'm a clumsy one and don't like wearing my dessert. Order a scoop to be put in a cup, but topped with a sugar cone. Helps avoid the mess, but still get the delicious flavor of a cone. The salted caramel ice cream was my favorite, and shocked at the low price of $2.99 for a scoop of ice cream! We both said we will be back as it is an affordable treat close to home. Check out this place if you are in the area as it would be rude not to treat yourself!

The BBQ pork tacos were okay. The sauce was sweet and a little heavy. The tortilla was soft and warm. The place was clean and relaxed.
