Few foods aren't tasty after an afternoon of tubing in the overbearing Arizona Sun, but that isn't to take away from taco boys quality. Coming in, broken down, body shutting down, brain long gone, and smelling the grills roasting the mountains on mountains of meat, it's easy to think you should jump the counter and just start shoveling the meat straight off the grill and into my mouth, but I opted for the traditional order and then eat method I ordered 2 Classic tacos, Cabeza and tripa, and 2 Vampiros tacos (where the tortilla is crisped up almost resembling a tostada) with carne asada and pollo. Make sure to hit up the sauces and fillings bar cause otherwise your severely missing out To avoid making this anymore dramatic I will simply say nothing was bad and in fact, everything was amazing The carne asada and pollo, grilled to perfection, beautiful char and so juicy and tender and on the crispy vampiros tortillas fantastic - 9/10 Now the tripa taco, was so tender and spiced unlike any I have had before and it quite literally melts in your mouth and so flavorful for how tripe usually is - 8.5/10 The true triumph of this meal, and what I would get a whole platter of when I go next time was the Cabeza taco, so chewy, so well spiced, so hot and fresh tasty, I honestly can't stop thinking about it and the salsas and toppings make it undeniably my favorite thing I have eaten in recent memory read more

I love Taco boys for their original tacos! My tacos were really good, I got carne asada and barbaqoa. The barbaqoa are juicy tender and flavorful. They are street tacos so they are small but it comes with double tortillas and a lot of meat so you could make two tacos out of one. The margarita from the bar was just ok. I sat outside and they had music playing and the misters going. read more

Taco Boys - Barbaqoa & Asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Taco Boys Mill Ave Street taco size, freshly made selected meat slapped on a warm tortilla, fresh and yummy. Their tacos are very good, quick and reasonable. Personally, I always go for the Asada Taco, I have tried others but the Asada is a big winner, so why go to something less desirable. Cheese Quesidilla is also a good compliment to the tacos and add to more good eating. Good, fast, reasonable tacos, you had me at carna asada read more

Taco Boys - Chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Came here for lunch, pretty busy and fast service. I like the salsa bar,, that's a plus. Pretty simple menu, ordered asada, pastor, cabeza, barnacoa tacos. Tacos had pretty good amount of meat but I was little annoyed to see that asada was $1.96 more.. WTH Love the salsa bar so I can load them up to my liking. I did taste the meat by itself before I ate them loaded. Cabeza was pretty good, pastor was very disappointing, had that cooked meat with some sprinkle of seasoning. Barbacoa was probably the tastiest but I got a big chunk of fat in my bite.. I love fatty meat so i didnt have issues but I can see someone not loving fatty part of the meat taking a bite. Asada probably was my least favorite. Lack of flavor and definitely not worth over $5. Nice atmosphere with music and friendly staff but over all it was not for me specially the price of that darn carne asada taco. Don't plan on coming back. read more

Great street tacos. My favorite were the chicken, but the crane asada, and Al pastor were delicious as well. Salsa bar with pickled onions were a big hit for me. Really brought the tacos to life. The atmosphere was lively during the Columbia vs. Switzerland world cup game. read more

Food was amazing and the quantity was good for the price. I would definitely visit again. read more

Friendly service and great food! The only two things that weren't to "my liking" were that they put our 2 orders of tacos on the same plate instead of separate (was with a coworker) and the music was soooo loud next to the area to wait to get your food. I am never one to complain about the loudness of music but I would suggest moving the speaker to a different location or higher up. Tbe food was delicious and had a great variety of toppings. read more

I love taco boys! Always delicious, fresh and affordable tacos! I only took a star off because the barbacoa is a little too greasy for my liking, and the bartenders aren't usually all that attentive. Other than that, this place is my go-to! read more

We came here last night after a show at Gammage. We ordered three al pastor tacos and three asada tacos, a grape Fanta and a michelada. The place was packed, I think there was a game or somthing thing going on. The tacos were so disappointing, there was no flavor to the Asada tacos and a weird after taste on the al pastor tacos. Everyone was vibing and it look like a good time. But for me it just missed the mark. read more

Great food and fast service. The drink size is huge! I got delicious horchata but could not finish it. Chicken is juicy delicious. Asada and pastor are also good. Many varieties of salad to choose from. There is one real spicy salsa. Lots of TVs to watch sport games. The seats, mostly are high tables or bar style, are more for a small party. The restaurant is a bit hot on the summer day. I love the sinks out in the front to wash my hands (before and) after enjoying the delicious tacos. read more

I had seen the crowds of people at the Taco Boys at Roosevelt Row, so I was glad to see that there was a new location on Mill Avenue. We went for lunch on a Friday, and it was very busy. It was packed with ASU students, as well as just the general public. It is all counter service, and they have a salsa bar. There is a bar as well, but it was not open when we were there - - maybe somebody would have gone over there to serve a drink had anyone ordered one. There's also patio seating outside, which is a good thing for people watching on Mill avenue. We ordered the Platos, one chicken and one carne asada, and it was plenty of food. It comes with a stack of delicious tortillas to make tacos with along with beans. On the day we were there the beans were very very soft, almost like liquid. I did not like them. It may have just been that bad so I'm not sure if it's always like that. We will definitely go back. The platos were very good value and we would order them again. read more

I would not recommend coming when there is an event. The food was good but I don't think I'd wait 30-40mins for tacos. I tried asking some questions but I don't think the person I spoke with could speak English. Sadly my high school Spanish is not so great. I think I'd steer away from mill ave as the other locations are just as great! read more

We love this place the tacos are delicious, the salsas and toppings are abundant, and our dog was welcomed with open arms (and even treats) Great ambiance and the staff had a great vibe read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner after work and got a 4 taco plate!+ chips and salsa. The tacos were good, and came with plenty of meat. I also appreciated the salsa bar options- lots of fresh and spicy salsas to choose from! My only criticism is that the taco meat itself was a bit lacking in salt/umami flavor, which is a shame because the texture and temperature of the meat was perfect. The lack of salt was quickly fixed by using the salt shakers on the table and the limes at the salsa bar, but it would be nice to have a bit more flavor in the Asada meat. Furthermore, the chips are premade and not as fresh as I would have liked, but still good! A good spot for a quick and yummy bite on a hot day! read more

Came here after hearing about this place. Had a chicken (good), steak (Good), and barbacoa tacos (just ok). Now it comes just with meat and shells but they have a salsa bar with 4 salsas (avacado salsa was actually really good), onions and cilantro, limes, pico de Gaco , etc. I also had a order of their fries, they do give a lot but they are your basic run of the mill fries. With a bar in there, the place was not bad, .could of been better but not bad. read more

Food is great, very flavorful but the guy who took our order had such a horrible attitude. He was rude. Did not smile was not courteous did not make any eye contact and hopped from registered to register to take peoples orders and it was so unfortunate because everyone else working in the back making the food had good attitudes. But since he's the first person you see and interact with it just left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

My visit to Taco Boys was a 10/10 experience. I have visited before so I was somewhat familiar, but wanted to see the ASU vs BYU game there to see how it was during games. I did walk there, so I cannot speak on the parking situations for people that drive. The staff was just as welcoming as before, and always make sure that you get everything as you asked for it. Customers were all friendly as everyone was an ASU fan rooting for the same team. I attached the Menu to this post, it friendly for non-spanish speakers, so that is one less worry. The atmosphere was amazing. Everyone was welcoming and the service was awesome. They have an amazing TV setup, with one big screen and a plethora of other screens available, inside AND outside. Overall, I would 100% go back there for any sporting event, or even if I am just craving a good bite. read more

At first I genuinely thought it was going to be one of those low quality ingredients Mexican taco place or it was gonna be like a white washed one but to my surprise it wasn't at all. The tacos were genuinely so damn good I got al pastor nd they had so much flavour it was super mega good kinda upsetting that they don't add pineapple to it but it's still really good on its own and the tortillas de maíz were chefs kiss, they didn't get soggy or break. Other than that ambiance was chill nd the service itself wasn't bad either, people at the front were pretty helpful nd nice read more

Taco Boys - barbacoa single taco; asada and pastor on the double plate Barbacoa Barbacoa Pastor Asada - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Tacos were amazing tried 3 kinds of meats pastor, asada, tripas very authentic. Will recommend them to my friends and family. ​​

The food was mediocre Mexican but if you're looking for fast food, you'll get it here. FLIES EVERYWHERE that both aggravated and grossed me out, got pork, chicken and steak mini tacos. Not sure if the chewy pieces were pork butt or something else that was inedible. The other kinds were decent. Maybe consider take out read more

i really wanted to like this place, upon arriving they were playing peso pluma which i loved, the line moved fast and the customer service was amazing there was one cashier working two registers at the same time and making it look so effortless, the place was clean and there's a bar as well, this place felt more like a taco shop/mini club which i was wasn't expecting, i got my food within 10 mins, my first problem was the salsa/condiment bar the layout is so small and people just barge in to grab there stuff because it gets crowded so easily because the space is so small, i waited in line and people kept going in front of me, maybe change the layout or make a bigger condiment bar, the bean and cheese burrito and the barbacoa taco were delicious, the carne asada fries were the worst ones i've ever had in my life even filbertos is better and i don't even like filiberto's, the fries were SOGGY and super oily at the same time, the cheese was like waxy and didn't melt properly i had to take majority of it off, it also came with no sour cream with made the overall dish really dry without, i would probably come back and try the tacos but stay away from the carne asada fries please read more

Some of the best Mexican food on mill ave, everyone there is super cool and they have good carne asada

Hit and miss, based on who's grilling and the cut of meat. It's overall dope food, quick, and excellent salsa bar. The patio and atmosphere is what you want on the corner of mill. Very Arizona. Recommend a quesadilla, but everything is similar and good. Chill staff that is attentive. read more
