Tacos Tijuana is my absolute favorite local taco shop! It's easily one of the best taco spots in…read morethe area and genuinely holds up when compared to authentic tacos I've had in Tijuana. 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!

I was looking for a Taco Tuesday special to go. I passed by this restaurant a few times and decided…read moreto try it. No waiting, it was empty. Staff was professional and fast. 4 tacos $11.06 included a 20% discount. No rice. No beans. But those limes really added to the flavor. I stretched it to feed 2 peeps. It was good and convenient. Fit what I needed at the moment, but probably won't be back.

We stopped by Tacos y Huaraches El Gordo in Mesa around 9:30 AM, and I'm so glad we did! The…read morecustomer service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. The restaurant is clean, the seating area is comfortable, and they have an extensive menu with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. There are so many choices that it's going to take several visits to try everything! My mom ordered the chicken enchiladas, and she absolutely loved them. 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! The food, portions, cleanliness, and especially the customer service were all excellent. I'm honestly surprised this place isn't busier because it deserves to be! If you're in Mesa and looking for great Mexican food with plenty of options, Tacos y Huaraches El Gordo is definitely worth checking out.

No free chips here, but two kinds of salsa, both very good. The food is amazingly tasty. Everything they make is hot and fresh. I want their carne asada recipe! The carne asada burrito is my favorite menu item. It really stands out from other restaurants. Try it!

Craving tacos and scrolling through DoorDash, we noticed Taco Spot was offering some BOGO deals, so…read morewe decided to take advantage of the promotion and try somewhere new. We ordered the #1 Birria Tacos with consommé and a fountain drink, along with the chicken burritos since they were on sale too. Overall, the flavors were good. The spicy red and green sauces that came with the burritos really elevated them, although the chicken itself was a bit dry. The red sauce has a nice kick that leaves a slight tingle on your lips without being overwhelming. The birria tacos were the highlight. The rich consommé and melted cheese complemented the tacos well and made for a satisfying bite. Overall, it was a good meal, but without the sauces, the chicken lacked a bit of moisture and flavor. Even so, it definitely hit the spot and satisfied our taco craving. We'd order again--especially if another BOGO deal comes around.

This was my first time to a Taco Spot location and it was for National Taco day. They had their $1…read morestreet taco deal today which was awesome. I got 5 of each of the meat options (Birria, Al pastor, chicken and carne asada). I got home and tried them all. I liked all of them and the meat was flavorful imo. Some of the meat was too tough for me but it's because of my jaw (not the meat). The taco shells were a bit greasier than I'm used to but they were still good. I loved the interior and the cure phone booth they had as well. It was a nice touch.

Got the carne asada burrito and it was as big as my arm and my stomach was full until the next day dinner. The burrito and carne asada was really good. I tried the beans out and they were good too. Just a tiny bit watery for my style but no real complaints. Staff was really nice and helpful. The place is close to a liquor store and we saw a drunk person walking from his car to the liquor store so be careful of drunk drivers in the area.

Update: the owner messaged me and told me to buy an entire chicken. Uh, maybe put some chicken in the chicken burrito? Update #2: The owner sure does like to argue with the customer back and forth. Now, he proposed that I order from Chipotle instead since they fail to give customer what one paid for. Update #3: The owner still going back and forth with me and now claiming I did not pay for the burritos. Not really sure what he means by that. But here is the screen shot of 2 burritos ordered via DoorDash. This is just wild.

Everything is made from scratch and I absolutely love this place.
