Food: 4-stars - The only reason for the -1 star is because they do not have any chicken options and their guac is liquidy with zero flavor. Their pickled red onions are also flavorless. Otherwise the carne asada, lengua and tripa tacos were all delicious and generously portioned! They have grilled jalapeños, and a self-serve garnish bar with 4 different types of salsas, pickled red onions, sliced cucumbers, shredded cabbage, diced onions and chopped cilantro, lime, and their liquidy guac. We came back already for their crunchy tripas and will continue to visit for our taco/burrito fixes. Service: 5-stars - Open kitchen behind the service counter allows you to see how they cook their meats over the charcoal grill. Our order came out pretty quick. 10-15 mins max. It's a fast casual spot so open seating, no host/waiters but there are workers that clean the dining area. Ambiance: 4-stars - Nothing special but clean and open dining areas. Multiple TVs for your viewing pleasure along with an outdoor patio area for outdoor dining. Overall 4-stars - I will say, after ordering for takeout last week, the best experience is to dine-in. The tripas were not as crunchy when taking home to eat. However, if you like your tripas crunchy like I do, dine-in and eat fresh is the best. Tacarbon satisfied our taco craving but they also offer cheese crisps, burritos and plates that include tortillas and beans. Pretty good overall, but definitely still room for improvements - especially for the premium price point. Definitely recommend to check out if you haven't already. It's probably going to be our new go-to spot for Mexican food. read more

Fantastic tacos and salsa bar to go with it! We ordered the hazz, asade, and carnitas tacos and all were delicious, special shoutout to the carnitas with how tender and juicy the meat was. They have a baked potato with taco toppings which was also delicious (papa loca) will be going back! read more

Tacarbon - Taco al Pastor Taco de Barbacoa Taco Hazz Papa Loca - Mexican Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Overall, we really enjoyed our first time at Tacarbon! Most of the different tacos we tried were juicy, flavorful, and fresh! We ordered one of each, and there were two types of meat that missed the mark for us (meat was tough and dry and didn't enjoy those). FYI: they use styrofoam plates. I know some folks care about that, so I'm calling that out. They have a queue setup toward the middle of the room, and when you're at the front of the line, you walk up the counter to order. It seemed like a really efficient way to give folks a chance to line up, view the menu, and then place their order quickly so they could make their decisions while waiting in line! The prices were very reasonable, too. They also have a self-serve, buffet style counter where you can grab salsas, pico de gallo, onions, cucumbers, etc. We will for sure come back and try more from the menu! read more

Excellent food and service!! We enjoy the carne asada and the hass tacos. They also have great quesadillas that the kids love! This place is huge inside and a good value! read more

Average prices for tacos. Service was quick and efficient. Ambiance spacious, clean and bright. Smelled like tangy smokey bbq when I walked in! My mouth was salivating lol Their asada tacos were good. The Al pastor had a decent taste to it. Nothing to rave about but I would come back to try their different tacos read more

Tacarbon - Mexican Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Been trying the carbon style tacos from a few places in and around Phoenix during my recent trips and my latest was Ta Carbon. The service was really fast and friendly. Super clean and wide open with plenty of space to eat. Love love the salsa bar too. I did try a few different tacos and have to say they were all pretty good, but also think there is a better asada in the area. Al pastor, lengua and huevo (this was a new one for me, so had to try) were all very good. Definitely will visit again, but for asada, I think there is a better spot near by :) read more

Ta' Carbon, closer to home? Yes sir! Decided to come down today to check out the new place. First of all, this place is massive! Tons of seating, nice open vibe. I went with an Alambre plate. Total was just over $10.00. How was it? Bomb! Alambre- Carne asada, bacon, peppers, onions and cheese all mixed together placed on top of 5 tortillas of your choice (I went with flour). Basically this is like a Mexican Philly Cheesesteak plate that you can make tacos with. 5 tacos for 10 bucks pretty much, and these tacos were stuffed with that delicious mix! Nice, clean salsa bar, friendly workers, clean bathrooms. Great spot! Will definitely be back when another alambre craving hits. So damn good! read more

Tacarbon - Alambre plate. Carne asada, bacon, peppers, onions and cheese on top of 5 tortillas. So bomb! - Mexican Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Food was amazing really good customer service not that good young guys at the register machine with bad attitude like they aren't happy to be there read more

Service was horrible the guy with glasses was to busy looking at the other co worker to care about our order he had his phone attached to him at all times they were very rude didn't give us our order separately and couldn't even look me in the eye while he took my order he was too busy then they give me hot tacos on styrofoam which burned and melted into my food read more

Tacarbon - Mexican Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Super delicious spot. I came here with my girlfriend she ordered the asada tacos and I got the al pastor and cabeza. Everything was really good but in my opinion the cabeza was the standout. We also had horchata which was great as well. The tacos came out super quickly and the service was solid. I asked for their spiciest salsa since I've got a high tolerance and what was out at the bar wasn't quite enough for me. They actually brought me one from behind the counter that was both really flavorful and seriously spicy. Overall great experience and definitely our new go to taco spot. read more

From out of town and was suggested by local family to check out this place. I guess they just opened this location not that long ago. So glad I came here because the food is delicious. I loved the beans and flour tortillas. I got the "mixto" plate with asada and pastor. Both were good but I loved the pastor meat. I liked how they have multiple salsas and toppings. They also have aguas frescas including jamaica. They serve the food fast since they had a lot of help when I came. The place was super clean and a worker was wiping down tables. This is a great place for lunch, gather with friends and family since this location is spacious with lots of tables. I noticed they also had outdoor seating. read more

Tacarbon - Mixto Plate- Delicious - Mexican Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Tacarbon - Tacos de asada with a Papa Loca - Mexican Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

I ordered a bunch bc I was starving and it's Mexican food, obvi you need to get a bunch. Can't overload on tacos. The restaurant smelled super good when I walked in, looked pretty clean, always a plus. Service was super friendly. I didn't get pics of the food bc my fattie self ate most of it. Desserts: Well priced at $3.99 each right now. Tres leches cake- I didn't want to stop eating it. My mini and I ate so much but we wanted to save some for tomorrow. It's not too sweet, nice flavor, and the texture was not soggy. Definitely would order it again. Flan- pretty standard as far as flan goes, but also not too sweet. Very rich and custardy. Yum. Cheesecake- decent. I didn't love it, didn't hate it. It's not like a dense NY style cheesecake, but when you're really craving cheesecake, it'll do. Plates: carne asada/beans You get a generous portion of meat and beans. Super delish. It's great with flour or corn tortillas. Tacos: Cabeza- this is super tender shredded beef, lots of flavor, one of my favorite taco fillings. I suppose it's similar to a good pot roast but better. Don't skip this. It's also great in a burrito, which I also got. 10/10 Campechano-mixed meat tacos, tbh I can't remember what kind, but great flavor, different textures also. Del frijol con queso- beans and cheese. Good flavor, the only thing I didn't like about this was that with my to-go order, they placed it on the bottom and it presses the foil on top and all the fillings stuck to the foil. Maybe they should not leave them as "open" tacos. There's a salsa bar, so you can get containers of salsa and taco toppings. Yassssss. If your Spanish is terrible and you don't want to Google, you may want to order in person as opposed to online as there's not a description of everything in English on the website (at the time I ordered) but they have it on their signs in the restaurant. Overall, it's pretty good, so don't skip out on this place, if you love tacos. Let's be honest though, don't we all? read more

The space is very large and great for big families. We were able to push a few tables together and fit everyone. The 2 pound family deal is a great deal, it's a full styrofoam box if you need help visualizing. They only have beans, no rice. Salsa and toppings station is well stocked. read more

It lives up to the hype! I was finally near enough to visit and was so glad I made the detour. I'm all about carne asada and flour tortillas, so I got 2 carne asada caramelos- like little quesadillas. These were delicious! The meat was very flavorful. The salsa bar had a lot of options and all of the salsas I tried were delicious. read more

Omg yay!!!! They finally opened! Our community has been waiting patiently for their doors to open and one day... vuaaala! It appeared!!! My mom and I got tacos so I will rate based on the tacos 1. Tacos Hass with meat, chili and cheese 5 2. Taco Pastor 3(weird texture&no pineapple) 3. Lengua 5 4. Tripas 5 5. Cabeza 3 (too salty) Their salad bar is PHENOMENAL! Fresh cucumbers! Their staff was nice. My mom was able to make them smile. I love their music, the guy singing, it's clean and just a nice place to enjoy my lunch. read more

Tacarbon - Pastor meat was really good! Amazing seasoning and the meat is not dry at all! They have a good salsa bar and good service - Mexican Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Delicious street tacos, very clean aesthetic I like the open windows in the front. Service was fast and they were helpful being it was my first time there. Recommend read more

I'm glad I don't have to drive to the hood to get Ta Carbon! I've always enjoyed their tacos! They can get really busy during lunch time! They also have lots of room with dining inside and out! read more

So glad to have the best tacos in Phoenix closer to home. The location is a little big and kinda awkwardly spaced inside. And the cleaning smell is def noticeable. But I come for the tacos and not for the ambiance so I have no complaints. Service is always good, mostly just transactional, but I think people have unrealistic expectations. I don't need anything more! read more

When I go to Phoenix for work, this is my spot to hit. I have tried the tacos, and last time o got the mixto plate. The beans are tasteless, no flavor. But the meat was good and tender. Tried the asada and al pastor. Just wished the carrots had some spiciness to get a kick from them. But overall I go there for the tacos and that's what I get every time. read more

I don't know what's up with the negative reviews. I cannot rave more about this place. In the short time they've opened my family and I have become regulars. Since I moved here from SoCal a few years ago I have not been able to find good tacos in the area and have tried so many places. The food at this spot is delicious, I'm so happy to finally find quality tacos, the tacos hazz are my favorite. And the service is great! You could see they are always busy and working hard. Five stars for Ta'Carbon!! read more

Tried out this restaurant and right off the bat after I ordered my food I see them start pulling out styrofoam trays to put all of their food on. I wish I would of paid attention to that behind their counters before I ordered. I would have left. In this day and age, haven't we learned about the cancer from these? I know they are probably the cheapest materials to serve your food on. My quesadilla for example had burned through the styrofoam before I ever got to my table. This is a deal breaker for me! If you upgrade to another product like paper, let me know and I will try it again, but it's a NOT RETURNING for me! I'm sure I am not the only one that feels this way! Too many restaurants out there using styrofoam....:-( read more

We have been their taco followers for over 12 years. As caterers, we can honestly say these are some of the best tacos you will ever, hands-down. Aside from ours, of course lol No, seriously the best delicious tacos! The best tacos to try are the Carne Asada, the tongue tacos the hazz tacos, you just can't go wrong. for the price you should try one of each. These are authentic, Mexican tacos, don't walk in asking for chicken because they will not have it, but so what as they have plenty of delicious options. Plus you get to serve yourself all the toppings that you want, fresh toppings! And also roasted jalapeños...simply delicious! If you haven't tried them at any of their locations than you are missing out. read more

Best tacos so far ! This place is bigger and has more room to sit than other locations. Their meats have good seasonings and their tortillas are fresh. They should have 2 condiment bars but that's just my opinion (: read more

Tacos were so good! I had the taco de tripa, taco de cabeza, and taco de huevo de becerro. All on corn tortillas, but they do have flour options. My favorite taco would have to be tripa. I also got the jaimaca drink. They have glass bottle sodas. Food was relatively fast. Fresh toppings bar was good. They had carrots, cucumbers, limes, pico de gallo, onions, a bunch of sauces (different levels of spicy). You see the Parilla right there! Big spacious seating area. Will definitely go again. read more

The food was good highly recommended very friendly and very affordable. Best tacos in the valley.

The food is amazing! We keep going back to try new things. The staff is kind, helpful, and know how to grill meat! The atmosphere of clean, bright, and perfect for eating tacos. I recommend Ta' Carbon to everyone! read more

Sorely disappointed that no pollo/chicken is served! Had read about this place in the paper where it had a glowing review. It had to have been a paid advertisement. read more

Love this Toco place this is definitely are top toco restaurant in AZ !!!! The employees are always so nice every time we go

Went for taco Tuesday and was very pleased!! They have huge open seating area with a couple tvs, & an outdoor patio as well. Fully loaded salsa cart with all the fixings. (The salsas were GREAT) I tried a carne asada taco and a (pork) barbacoa taco on flour tortilla, both of which were soo good. Also would like to note that the prices are extremely reasonable (in my opinion!). Two tacos, a combo plate, a coke, and a beer was $25. The only thing I was missing was a margarita! I'll definitely be back! read more

This location is bigger than the one in Glendale. Both have fantastic food with a quickness. I always get the barbacoa plate and it's soooooo dreamy delicious. I never leave any on the plate. Highly recommend this place any time you want some fire meat (: read more

Why do they have no rice? I feel like this hurts this place, but maybe that's their traditional way of serving their food? I had a carne asada burrito, it made me sick the next day, had upset stomach and runs. read more

We went when they opened and let me say that the staff was exceptional! However, the food was not worth the wait or money we spend trying a few items. The only thing I could really appreciate was the bean and cheese burrito. Clean and well kept salad and toppings bar though! Probably won't go back here unfortunately. Not when I like Federico's bean and cheese burrito better. read more

Great food and location. The atmosphere is excellent with plenty of seating. Now if you are particular about your service fair warning the employees are standing right in front of a hot grill. So just be mindful if they are a bit grumpy. read more

Best carne in town!! Came late for a quesadilla - great portion size. Medium side of pinto beans came in a big cup. Quick service even though it was busy . Definitely coming back!! read more

Very efficient and delishious taco shop. I usually order the mix carne asada and al pastor plate with corn tortillas. It comes with beans. The meat is really good and you can taste the wood smoke. read more

I seen this place and I think I really want to go here with my father. Meat and beans look flavorful and I love tacos.
