Taco boys.. taco boys... taco boys... thank you for being consistent in flavor and quality! Ever since I found this place this is my go to taco spot. Good prices, you get a lot of meat with your meal, great side bar, and so far have not had a bad experience this far. My family and I been loyal customers for the past 6 months and continue to be as long as they are around. The only downfall at the Roosevelt location is the parking! If you come during a busy night you're looking at parking on the street (if you can find parking) or waiting for a bit for a spot to open up. Overall 5 stars! read more

terrible experience. We drove 15 minutes to go to the location downtown, online it said it was open, and the whole restaurant was completely closed. Nothing online said it would be closed for the day. Upset, and eating at Taco Bell next time. read more

Restaurants like to advertise that they have street tacos, but not many of them can actually compare to the authentic street tacos. Most places that offer street tacos don't have the flavor, but not only that, they're also typically overpriced. Taco boys is tied for THE BEST tacos I've ever had in my life. The place it's tied with? An actual street taco vendor in downtown LA. Their flavor is undeniably amazing, the meat is juicy, and the price is extremely reasonable. If there's a place you HAVE to go to when you visit AZ, Taco Boys is the place! read more

Taco Boy's - From closest to farthest: Barbacoa Tacos, Cabeza Tacos, Al Pastor Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

By far the best tacos we've ever had. So good we came here twice during our recent trip to Phoenix. They have all kinds of stuff. Vampiros are like toasted flat tortillas with cheese on them. We liked them but liked the tacos and quesadillas better. We had carne asada, chicken, pastor and barbocoa tacos which were all amazing. I asked for cheese on them the second time which made it even better. I think the pastor were my favorite. Their quesadillas are also so good! We enjoyed the beans as well. They have a salsa/topping bar where you can get whatever you want. It can get pretty busy but definitely worth the wait! We will def be back is we return to Phoenix. read more

First time here, I get the hype! If I wasn't in Mexico I wouldn't have known the difference. Loved every bit of this tight quartered fully stocked dressing salad bar options with many full size radishes, limes cut in half, pickled onions and cabbage cilantro goodness. In fact I removed the meat from my street taco just to fit the veggies on that cute little tortilla made fresh and amazing as they come! My French Bulldog came along and fully enjoyed a portion of the meat from my tacos so much that he's still talking out loud 15 minutes later. Well done Taco boys! To add ... the name fits perfectly as upon entering you will see more young boys ( seems like cousins) then you've ever seen, all working together and helping each other out !! Great little spot. Waiting for parking is not a problem. Unbelievable... now 20 min later my Frenchie can't stop talking about his longings for more. I've never heard him wine like this!!!!!! read more

Taco Boy's - Bentley Really Really Likes This Meat! - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been wanting to stop by here for awhile and was in the area one day so was finally able to stop and check it out. I will have to say parking can be a bit if a nightmare as it is very small and shares with jimmy johns after sitting a bit was able to get a spot and when walking in it was definitely busy and smaller then expected but the speed of the service was fast I ended up getting the carne Asada burrito and chips and salsa the burrito was good and didn't get any bad fat pieces of meat but there chips seem to be just store bought chips I was really hoping for a homemade chip which would've been so much better especially with there salsa bar they had a lot of items and salsas to choose from which was awesome. The only other issue I had was there ice machine was out of ice probably because it was so busy . But with all that said the burrito was good and if I'm in the area again I would try the food again as well as the prices for burritos wasn't bad at all. read more

Finally had a chance to try this place. Service was good. Food was good. Want to try other items on their menu. Maybe for dinner. Only thing I have to say that is negative, the music is a little to loud. Made it difficult to order and to pay. Had 2 carne asada and 2 pollo tacos. The self serve salsa cart is very good. Very clean. read more

Taco Boy's - 2 carne asada and 2 pollo asado - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

8.9 would recommend! I haven't found anything better, and I have to deduct for not enough space. This place is so amazing everytime I come it's crowded! Not a bad thing for the owner though I love the pastor the most always so juicy and full of flavor, while my guy love the asada! I love the tacos and enjoy the bar all over my tacos lol While my guy enjoys the burrito and it's pretty classic and gets to enjoy more of the natural flavor read more

Let me start with the one good thing I can say ... trying this place for lunch, the service was very kind. My advice though , save yourself the trouble. The parking situation is a challenge. I had the carne asada taco and an Al pastor taco plus a small quesadilla. The pastor did not have any flavor and the carne didn't have that nice char on it, it was a little chewy. I ordered a drink and cups were already made and sitting on the counter. If there's one major piece of feedback I would say to change that. Who knows how long the drink was sitting there , ice melting. I won't be back ... read more

We are planning a party and went to try some tacos to see if we want to order from them. The chicken and steak tacos were great! The salad bar looked really good also. We had some questions and tried to call the Roosevelt location (where we ate) but no answer. We will probably order from the location on 32nd St. read more

This was my first time at a Taco Boys and I wasn't disappointed. The service was great and fast. I had 3 tacos, Al Pastor, Cabeza and Barbacoa. All were amazing but the chili pineapple season on the pastor was my favorite. So much so that I bought the family pack that consists of a pound of your choice of meat, 15 tortillas of your choice and as much as you can load up at the salsa bar that is pretty extensive. The price for the tacos is $2.69 per taco and the family pack is $30. read more

It's not like I'm adding anything ground breaking but these are the best tacos in all of phx. The ordering system can be a little confusing and stressful for a first timer but it's all worth it for the best tripa taco I ever had in my life and super delicious asada tacos. Not only that, but they really don't skimp you on the portions. This is the real deal. read more

Taco Boy's - asada and tripa - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place was recommended by my sons and they're kind of taco snobs so we gave it a try. Great recommendation since the tacos were excellent! I ordered the pollo and pastor tacos and both were excellent. The meat was nicely seasoned and cooked just right. Good assortment of toppings and sauces. But I really like the corn tortillas since they were seared on the flat top and held together really well and had the perfect texture as you bite into them. The only downside to this experience was that there were flies throughout the restaurant and you really need to get your food as soon they call your name otherwise the flies will get there first. read more

OMG. Such a good, no nonsense taco joint. I could smell the high quality meat from outside, and I knew it was going to be a treat. I had a vampiro and a few tacos. My favorite was the carne asada vampiro, crunchy and stringy cheese and delicious meat. The topping bar had a variety of salsas, onions, pickled onions, and other toppings. Straightforward and delicious. Would absolutely go back. read more

Taco Boy's - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Taco Boy's reminds me of the amazing taquerias in Mexico! The menu is simple - pick your meats and how you'd like it (tacos, quesadillas, vampiros, or burritos), stock up at the salsa bar, and then be prepared to inhale the most amazing flavorful tacos. When I went I had the carne asada, barbacoa and pastor tacos. The carne asada and barbacoa were amazing, but for me the pastor was INCREDIBLE!! So juicy and flavorful.....my mouth is watering just thinking about it lol. And the salsa bar is legit. Lots of salsa options, pickled onions, regular onions with cilantro, radishes, cucumbers, limes; there is so much to choose from that you can really mix and match the options to enhance your tacos in a variety of different ways. Be prepared to keep a good lookout on open seating if you are wanting to eat there. The place is always packed, so you'll have to get hawk eyed to get a table. But service overall is super quick, so you should see turnover as you are waiting (if you need to). If you like authentic street tacos, Taco Boy's is definitely the place to check out! read more

I'm a bit surprised by all the five star reviews. My experience with Taco Boy's with good, though I wouldn't describe it as over- the- top- five- star- worthy. The service was quick, though I was surprised I couldn't pay after ordering. Instead, I needed to wait until after eating to settle the tab. It made me wonder if this procedure is in anticipation of getting a liquor license (the city's notice was posted on the window). Is Taco Boy's hoping customers will stay after their meals for a day or night of drinking? The food was ok, though nothing I haven't had before, given all the Mexican food options in Phoenix. It was nice to see they cook over charcoal. The price point is on par with similar local Mexican joints. I would like to see edits to the menu. Locals who eat Mexican food regularly understand what is meant by "salad bar". Those who do not (there are lots of visitors in downtown Phoenix) may expect to have a full salad bar included. "Toppings Bar" may avoid confusion. At the end of the day, if you're looking for quick serve Mexican food in downtown Phoenix, you could do better or worse. This place is ok. read more

Headed to Taco Boy's as soon as my flight landed per the recommendation of my parents. It definitely should be your first stop when flying into PHX too. You're not going to get more authentic tacos than at Taco Boy's. We had four different types of tacos (pollo, asada, barbacoa, and pastor) and a pollo quesadilla. Each one has its own unique seasonings and a bounty of meat in each shell. The best part is that there is an expansive salsa bar that allows you to customize each item ordered. If you want authentic and not run-of-the-mill tacos, you definitely need to try Taco Boy's. It's a no frills restaurant that did not disappoint. read more

Food was so bad!! This used to be my spot and I came back to town and we went on first Friday it was so busy and loud in there. The tacos were like 80% inedible cause of fat and nervy meat. Idk if they gave us the last batch but it was bland and gross. They should also season the stuff in the food bar! everything had no flavor :( taco boyz what happened?? read more

The best tacos in the Downtown/Roosevelt area. Quesadillas are huge and may be two smaller meals. Parking is very limited so it's best to avoid visiting on the weekends if you can. read more

Taco Boy's - The inside - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Yes. But seriously, I have never liked Pastor before. The first time I went to Taco Boys, I asked the guy behind the counter what I should get and he said Pastor Vampiros. So that's what I got, and it's what I get every time I go there now. Best Mexican food in the valley in my opinion. They also have really good Mangonadas and other sorbet type stuff. My favorite place!! Love it! Also love to watch sports there, it's a great environment to watch a game. read more

Boy oh boy, this taco spot was deeeeelicious! I'd not been here before, to be honest I hadn't even heard of it prior to my friend introducing me. We arrived close to 7:30pm or so, and it was packed. All employees were wearing masks and it's a very open concept type of spot. You walk in and it's a big counter and behind it is the kitchen and grills and everyone can see what everyone is doing. Almost had like a warehouse feel... there's large long windows and to the right you have a drink station soda machine and behind those are the restrooms. There's a salsa bar to the furthest left side of the building and then tables along the window. Not a ton of the walking or waiting space but you walk up, order, wait for a bit and either take or eat there. We opted to eat there and it didn't take too long before a table became open for us. The tables are distanced but not that much, of course when eating folks aren't wearing masks but folks were pretty respectful of wearing them as they walked by or if they were at the salsa bar grabbing goodies. The salsa bar had 3 different salsas, rábanos (radishes), cucumbers, limes, avocado salsa, pickled red onion, onion and cilantro mix, cabbage, and pico. The red salsa was both spicy and super delicious! I enjoyed a nice plate full of the veggie goodies before I had my order of 3 tacos (one asada, one al pastor, one cabeza) and a tripa caramelo. Our taco order came out in about 10 min or less and we were in heaven. The meats were so fresh and tasty, the salsas were wonderful. We enjoyed them with corn tortillas (they double the little torts for you which makes it easy for them not to rip) and YUM. If you haven't had cabeza, this is an excellent place to try because it was just perfect texture and flavor. And the tripas on my caramelo... (caramelo is like a tostada with cheese and meat on top) just so good!! Also, there's Spanish music blasting making me feel like I'm at a Mexican restaurant in Baja or something. I loved it! I was satisfied with the amount of food, the tacos are just a bit bigger than "street style" and it was so worth each of them costing $2.50 or so. Definitely recommend this place, you won't regret it. read more

Its my third time at this location I was craving tacos all week and was in the area. It was packed but i really wanted to satisfy that craving here. The quality of the street taco was a 1 star. Their carne asada was so dry and the tortillas were just falling apart. I don't mind paying 3.50 for a taco but this was a $2 at most taco. The service is always great , typical taqueria. I was disappointed and sad read more

Maybe the best pastor tacos I've ever had. Such an authentic taste with tons of taco toppings at the bar. Well done Taco Boys!

Service: Excellent customer service; quick & easy. The quesadilla was HUGE.. I also got tacos de cabeza- the meat was on point juicy! The salsa had everything you need! They were out of tripa but we did go a few minutes before closing- will be back soon. read more

I think it would be too much to say I was disappointed with my tacos and beans but compared to some of the other great mexican food I've had in PHX, I wasn't all that impressed. Especially given how popular this place is. The tacos are a little pricy for the size (think small corn tortillas). The salsa collection is great. read more

I almost never write a review; hopefully Taco Boys management will take action and prevent this from happening or change the deceiving advertising... we drove almost an hour to this place to get 4 lbs of carne asada... I assumed 4 Lbs would be 4 lbs of meat but to my surprise the carne asada containers (4) they gave us looked kind of empty... when I weighted them at home each of them was not even close to 1 pound.... they were .638, .712, .689 and .730 almost half of what they advertised.... not sure if this a company practice or the employees were just being careless (or worst)... but more attention should be given to the product quantity being sold... alternatively, remove the " Lbs " from the menu and just sell containers or plates.... Anyways the food is good, just do not expect 1Lb when you buy one ... read more
