    We are visiting from CA and searched for a mexican restaurant ALL I have to say is WOW very authentic Sinaloa style!

    Sunday afternoon for lunch, we couldn't wait another day and decided to go back to this little Mexican gem we found last week. We had the Birria and decided to have and try their Carne asada tacos which were absolutely amazing. I am still thinking about it 24 hours later and I am going back as soon as I can. I have never been to a any Mexican restaurant where they give me the option of whether I want corn tortillas or flour tortillas with my street tacos. So when they gave me the option I jumped at the chance and said of course I want flour. They were so delicious, the steak was juicy and tender, it had so much flavor and it was also not burnt to a crisp. It had plenty of flavor toppings on top as well. All around everything was delicious just this week expected. Of course we will be back. We will tell everyone about their delicious food. There was different staff on this date and they were all friendly and attentive per usual. Come try them!

    The food is great but the service and kitchen is sooooooo slow. It seems like there's legit only one or two cooks. Came here with a group and there was 8 of us around 6 or 7 pm. It wasn't too busy, Only two other small tables were there. I ordered the Tacos Dorados and my boyfriend ordered the carve asada fries. The tacos were soooooooo good, super authentic, fresh Mexican food. The carne Asada fries were also good. It took us over an hour to get our food and eat. Also, they forgot one of our persons food..they never put the order in. One thing I didn't like is that they bring each plate out one at a time. Which is nice because it's fresh but there were so many of us waiting for our food or waiting for the other person to finish their food. Overall, the food is great but service needs help.

    In house dining area.

    My husband and I escaped the frigid temperatures of Nebraska and decided to warm up in the west valley outside of Phoenix for a few weeks. Within a one mile radius of our winter escape are a dozen Mexican restaurants offering a menu to warm up the palate. After walking by two options we settled on Mi Nietos Cocina Mexican Food located in a non descript strip mall just off of Indian School Road. COVID-19 restrictions were posted on the entry door with masks required for entry. We were greeted as we entered and given a menu for selecting our take out order. Socially distanced In house dining was available but we have been sticking to take out on this trip. We opted to share a chicken enchilada platter which included three enchiladas, beans, rice and a choice of green or red sauce (we went green.) The young lady who took our order was also covering the table service, wiping tables, and serving as the cashier. She accomplished all tasks with efficiency and a quick smile. It is a good thing that they were not overly busy or service might have been compromised. Our order arrived in under five minutes and smelled like a bag of awesomeness. It was! The portions of beans and rice were small but the enchiladas satisfied our appetites with the sides filling in the gaps. The green sauce added a bit of spice that enhanced the meal. The split portions were just the right size for our lunch meal. Parking is available at the door although current road construction on Indian School Road makes entering and exiting a bit of a challenge--but one well worth the effort.

    Well to say the least the presentation was nice, but the food was disgusting :( the horchata had a weird flavor. The nachos were so bland! The beans bland as well, It's suppose to have chorizo but it was literally blended beans. Rice was good & birria tortillas were soft. My mom got food poisoning idk this was a bummer considering I was craving some real authentic tasty Mexican food. 3/10

    Capirotada bread pudding.

    We tried this place and it was good. We ordered the chiliquiles with red sauce and eggs, we added carne asada on top. Staff is family owned, we also tried their dessert menu we got the empanadas made fresh, and Capirotada which is Mexican bread pudding. If you want to taste some good authentic Mexican food and support your local businesses come out and try this place.

    Entry. Trying for the first time.
    Michael P.

    The staff are great here. Great family running this place. It is home style cooking. There wasn't anything that really popped in flavor or style. The food is sold as authentic Mexican food. I tried to order machaca but they didn't have any. At first it was disappointment, but it turns out they bring the prepared meat from Mexico. Wish I could have tried it. The Juevos Rancheros were a bit bland and the beans were good but not a flavorful as I expected. The chilaquiles we're bit more flavor and I enjoyed them more for my wife's plate.

    We came here for my sons after graduation it was good. We ordered a total of 9 different dishes no one complained we had the barbaccoa it was good. Came in a hot bowl with juice and tortillas on the side. We order 2 sushi rolls. They were ok. My daughter and ex husband got the tacos carne asada and she loved them. My son got dorado tacos and he loved them. All around good food good people but slow service. We waiting a long time for our drinks and she brought us too many. They didn't charge us for the extras she brought but we also didn't drink them so all around win win. Happy Eats!

    Nachos Supreme, very very good!
    Tommy L.

    The food here was very good. It seemed to be very authentic. I would say that the food is 4.5 stars. The service however, was not very good at all. We had a waitress that started helping us and then we never saw her again. She forgot to put in one of our orders, everyone's entree came out 5-10 minutes apart. I understand if a restaurant is busy but be we were the only one's in there for a majority of our meal. Great food, bad service.

    I am just blown away about this great place. The food is definitely delicious and the place clean, airy and the service is wonderful. The sushi fusion is really cool. This place takes me back to my vacation time in Mexico. Certainly coming back again to try the other stuff.

    Overall so good! We originally drove over to this area to go to a different place but didn't know…read morethey closed and I'm so happy this was the first suggestion for birria!! I got a birria taco and my hubs got an al pastor quesadilla. We also got a side of rice and horchata. Horchata- creamy and delish (which says a lot because I don't usually care for it) Rice- was good to me but the peas could be left out lol Quesadilla- the meat was flavorful and owned every bite. Tortilla was nice and everything was a perfect ratio Birria- OMG! The flavor was perfect and the cheese. It was so hard not to eat it in one bite lol. I foot to add consume but honestly it didn't need it. I loved the flavor and how tender the meat was I've driven past the Litchfield location and always wanted to try so I am happy we made it into this location! Definitely will have to make my way to that one since it's a little closer to home. Also the seating is ample inside and the girls are nice! Kitchen was quick as well. Even when it was dead to watching alone form, they busted out those orders

I stopped by on a Saturday night to finally check it out. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the trompo right away, which is always a good sign. I stepped up to the counter and was greeted with a warm smile from the young lady up front. After looking over the menu, I ordered two tacos de tripa and two tacos de suadero. She asked if I wanted the tripas extra crispy I said no. I also asked how they prepare the suadero since I didn't see a choricera, but she wasn't sure. When the food came out, the tripas were a letdown. The texture was off, almost like a stale chip, and they were clearly overcooked. I asked if I could swap them for something safer, so I went with asada instead, but that didn't impress either. It didn't taste very fresh. Now here's the reason you should come to Tacos Chilangos: the suadero. Even though it's not cooked the traditional way, it was absolutely delicious. Perfect meat-to-fat ratio, super flavorful, and easily the standout. The guacamole salsa was top tier. I kept going back to that one over the others. All in all definitely stop by to try the suadero as for as the other two I'd would probably give them a second try.

    Yes, Yes, Yes! Today, my husband said let's try this place…read more I said ok! As we got closer, I realized I've been in the area several times. I have never ate at any of rhe places though. You order at the counter and the food comes out to the table. You can tell this place is family owned. The owners, whom I assumed were there tonight, were lovely people. While we waited, the woman who took our order brought out a basket of chips with refried beans and fresco queso on top with a side of salsa. Woah! What? Epic. But wait! A few minutes later, a precious girl with the most warm inviting, and beautiful smile came out with 2 warm, homemade corn tortillas, with salsa and cheese for us. These were just complimentary extras we didn't expect at all. Soo good. The restaurant is a humble place. Cute, clean, inviting and roomy. There is an inside seating area and an outdoor section. Someone was grilling meat out front. I think, the owner. I ordered a chili relleno combo. It comes with rice, beans, tortillas, and a drink. Hubs ordered two carne asada tacos, and a carne asada sope. I didn't try anything my husband ordered. ( I was laser focused on my meal lol) But it looked really good. He said, you can tell, they make their food with love. Yes, yes, yes, you can. My dish, was the best chili relleno I have had the entire 5 yrs I have been living in AZ. And the beans were phenomenal. Honestly, I prefer eating at places like this. We came for an impromptu date night. I can say it was one of the best meals and date nights I've had in a while. Thank you. Y'all are gonna see me alot. :)

No matter how busy, the wait is never long but your food is made to order. They have an abundant salsa bar and, if you sit outside, an employee is cooking up something on a plancha. We don't know what. We have only ever sat inside or carried our tacos home. Next door there's a modern bakery next door with cakes, bars, cookies and traditional Hispanic treats. We're looking forward to checking it out at some point. Stay tuned!

I left to make an appointment at the nearby nail salon and came back and they were still back there frying my fish - which, as mentioned, was chef's kiss otherwise. I loved my blue pineapple/coconut milk drink. This place is known for its beverages. Can't complain.
