    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.

    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.

    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!

Dinner for my family of three cost us $45.

    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.

    The food DELICIOUS, the service friendly and fast the ambience festive! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE! The meat was NOT skimpy on the Birria Taco! Flavorful tender meat serve with consumé that I finished with my spoon. If you're ever in Tempe, COME HERE!!!! You will not be disappointed!

    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.

    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

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

Loved the cornbread- it was a nice balance of sweet and spicy. May be too spicy for some. Loved the corn bits inside and the pepper jam(?) on top. Ordered the Chicken Poblano Pasta sub Steak and it was good, worth the price. Flavorful and unique with the cream sauce, corn, cilantro, and onion. Service was also great. We were well cared for. I do feel there are so many other good Southwestern style restaurants in the Tempe/AZ area, but this is also good and I would come back when I'm back in town.

My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).
