    Restaurant was nice, clean. Staff was knowledgeable. Food was good. I asked for chips and salsa and I got chips and told the salsa was around the way. Only small shallow plastic cups to put it in. My daughter was not pleased with the sauce on the Carne Asada tacos. Not bad.

    Stopped here for a late lunch during the week and it was great! Quick service, clean restaurant, and tasty food!

    Ordered the 5 rolled tacos, shredded beef. They came out freshly cooked so I enjoyed how crispy they were fresh out of the fryer! The cheese melted on top to perfection. Cashier was helpful in local fave recommendation.

    Disgusting "chicken" tacos. Went straight in the trash
    Amy M.

    Food is disgusting!! Apparently I mistakenly ordered chicken tacos for delivery. Blegh!! Tastes, smells and looks like rotten Tuna Fish. Ordered flan. Also gross. It's like they poured maple syrup over a small thin custard. Even the horchata tastes like it comes from a box. Order somewhere else!

    Excellent! Delicious! Clean! Great Service! The tortillas and meat were nice and hot; had to wait a second to let them cool which is great because I love a hot meal!! Delicious tortillas. It's like corn and flour tortillas has a perfect baby. Flavorful Tender Meat Clean Store Fresh Limes Great Prices I got two Marinated Pork Tacos for under $5 on Tuesday. They were the perfect amount of flavor and spice and quantity of food. Comes with some chips to help clean up your plate at the end. One of the best taco spots in Phoenix! Oh! Also they label their salsa so you know if it's mild, medium, or spicy! This is the first taco place I've seen do that! Love their attention to detail.

    Great food and a lot of it for the money. They are very friendly and the restaurant is clean. Fully stocked salsa bar is a plus, worth dropping in

    Carne Asada Burrito insides

    Before I post my review, I have to say my Door Dash delivery took about an hour, and our food was cold. I want to try it again, maybe dine in. I was especially excited that they had potato rolled tacos. However, the fact that they were cold made them not appetizing. I scraped off the sour cream and heated in the microwave for a minute. Still blah. The ends of the taco were hard and the middle too soft. The potatoes themselves had very little flavor. I was really disappointed. With taco in your name, you have to have good tacos. Hubby liked the carne asada burrito the tortilla looked authentic hand made. We ordered a side of beans and a side of rice to split. Great portions. We had plenty each. The churro made this review an extra star over what I would have given it. It had a yummy gooey sauce, pudding like texture in the middle. It was tasty even cold. I will give it another shot and come back and review again.

    shrimp salad to-go
    Beth C.

    This is a nice, small shop with a great variety on their menu. Though the tacos looked excellent, I ordered a shrimp salad to-go. It was ready in about ten minutes. I was really impressed by the large size and the generosity of the toppings. They didn't skimp on cheese (yay!), the greens and avocado were delicious and fresh, and the shrimp were perfect. The dressing is kind of like ranch but had the texture and taste like Parmesan was mixed in, so I'm left wondering if it was made there; in any case, it was quite good. I'd come here again if I was in the area!

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.

Loved the cornbread- it was a nice balance of sweet and spicy. May be too spicy for some. Loved the corn bits inside and the pepper jam(?) on top. Ordered the Chicken Poblano Pasta sub Steak and it was good, worth the price. Flavorful and unique with the cream sauce, corn, cilantro, and onion. Service was also great. We were well cared for. I do feel there are so many other good Southwestern style restaurants in the Tempe/AZ area, but this is also good and I would come back when I'm back in town.

My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).
