That says it all! Alex and Adán provided excellent service. They were professional, friendly, organized, and made everything so easy for us as hosts.

The name and logo seemed familiar. As I walked inside I realized I ate at a Tacos Calafia in…read moreAhwatukee/Phoenix about a year prior. This location is large and has a lot of tables inside and outside. There's plenty of room for large parties to congregate together and not bother other customers. There's was also a lot of sunlight pouring into the building which I enjoy. They have a large Arizona-themed wall mural and many other decorations throughout the restaurant. The menu board is both simple and diverse, as you have a choice of proteins (carne asada, pollo, al pastor, cabeza and grilled cactus!) and an assorted way to enjoy them (tacos, burrito, quesadilla, nachos, vampiro, and more). Once you place your order at the counter, they have a nice salsa bar with multiple salsas/sauces, guac, onions, radishes, cilantro, limes and more. There's also a table for all your other dining needs (utensils, napkins, salsa cups, etc). I enjoy places that trust their customers to take what they need and not take advantage of their hospitality. I ordered 3 tacos and grabbed 3 salsas to mix and match. I really enjoyed the Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos, but the Pollo wasn't to my liking (had a rubbery/slimy texture and didn't taste to my expectation). The salsas/hot sauces were fine but I didn't find a favorite. Overall, this was an enjoyable lunch at a fair price and at a nice setting. Thanks Tacos Calafia!

The tacos were good, and one of my favourite touches was the blistered chiles, which added a nice smoky heat alongside the meal. This was my first visit, and I came away feeling like there's more to explore on the menu. Sometimes one visit isn't enough to get the full picture, and this is one of those places I'd like to revisit before making a final judgment. Overall, an authentic taco spot that's worth another visit to dive deeper into the menu. Saluti.

This review is just for the burrito because that's all I've had…read more The tortilla is top-notch. Honestly, it's probably the best burrito tortilla I've had from any Mexican spot in Arizona. The problem is the meat. The meat is just average. If they upgraded the meat, this might be the best burrito in Arizona. That's how good the tortilla is. But because the meat doesn't match the tortilla, it ends up being just a really solid burrito instead of an amazing one. I haven't tried anything else on the menu, so I can't speak on the rest of the food. But if we're talking burritos... Best tortilla I've had. Average meat. Good overall, but it leaves you thinking about what it could've been.

The quality really stands out--especially the homemade tortillas, which take everything to the next level. The al pastor and carne asada are both incredible, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I also love that the al pastor is cooked authentically on a spit, which really adds to the flavor and experience. There's also a great variety of options on the menu, so there's something for everyone. Service is consistently quick, even when it's busy, which makes it a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick meal or sitting down to enjoy your food. Their Taco Tuesday deal is also a huge win--great value without sacrificing quality, and it keeps us coming back regularly. And the salsa deserves its own shoutout--absolutely incredible! It's packed with flavor and honestly good enough that you could enjoy it on its own. It really takes everything to the next level. If you're looking for authentic-style tacos with great flavor, fresh ingredients, fast service, and awesome specials, Tacos Tijuana is a must-visit. Easily one of my top spots in the area!

They were packed with a generous amount of beef and the consommé was just as delicious. The tacos were so filling that I could only finish one! The brisket was good though I've definitely had better. They also offer three different sauces and we enjoyed all of them. The restaurant itself is pretty small and it was very busy the entire time we were there which says a lot about how popular this place is. They do have a large outdoor patio but it was way too hot to sit outside even with the misters. We sat at the long high top table inside and it felt tight especially with people in line right next to us. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I'd definitely go back to try some other dishes and definitely more birria tacos.

I ordered the brisket taco and elote, both of which were excellent. The brisket was beautifully tender, the pico tasted incredibly fresh, and the pickled onions added just the right amount of brightness to balance the richness of the meat. The elote was equally satisfying, perfectly cooked and generously seasoned. My husband opted for the birria taco and made quick work of both the taco and its accompanying consommé. Service was warm, attentive, and impressively efficient. We spent around $42 for three tacos, a side, and a drink, which felt reasonable for the quality. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the Mexi-Q Twinkies, but I suppose that's as good an excuse as any to come back!

I was excited to see caramelos on the menu since they can be hard to find. After you order they give you a number and bring the food out to your table. They also have a little salsa bar where you can grab extra salsas and toppings for your food. I tried the quesabirria taco and it was okay. I only had a bite or two of the caramelo before I looked over at the window and noticed a huge dead cockroach stuck between the glass along with a ton of dust and other little bugs. As soon as I saw that I completely lost my appetite and couldn't bring myself to keep eating.

The portion of chicken was generous, and the enchiladas had the perfect level of spice--not too mild and not overpowering. I had the birria quesadilla tacos, and they were absolutely stunning! Honestly, they are easily in my top two birria tacos I've ever had. The flavor was incredible, and I'm already looking forward to having them again. My son had two beef tacos, which he enjoyed as well.The menu is huge, and there are so many things I want to try on our next visit. I cannot wait to come back for the birria pizza!

Just a tiny bit watery for my style but no real complaints. Staff was really nice and helpful.
