This was my first visit to Taco Boys. My visit was amazing, my order was steak and chicken tacos. Fresh and hot tacos!! Great customer service! read more

Was recommended here by a friend and the tacos were pretty good but I would not put them in my top 5 of ones I've had. Also you choose between corn and flour tortillas. Pastor - I was a little upset by the lack of pineapple and sweet flavor. Pastor is my favorite tacos but these were maybe a 6/10 for me. Barbacoa - this was my favorite mainly because many places don't serve barbacoa and it was full of flavor and juiciness. Every bite was delicious - paired with some salsa is perfect. 9/10 Asada - overall a 6/10 because I prefer my Asada a little more on the charred side or to have some sort of charring on the meat. Overall it was definitely not the best Asada taco I've had. Would I eat here again? Heck yeah I would! There's so much more to try. read more

Taco Boys - Pastor, Barbacoa, Asada (bottom to top) (IG: @evsn_eats) - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

While the meat was too salty for us here, Taco Boys probably makes the best street tacos I've had in Phoenix. I had asada, pollo, and barbacoa, all with flour tortillas. It took a while to come out, but that's because it's all freshly and carefully made. My favorite was the barbacoa - definitely get it! My husband got the asada burrito, and said it was on point. The unlimited salad and sauce bar is awesome of them to offer! I haven't seen that here yet. I loved the whole radish, pickled onions, cabbage, and red sauces. Even though they're busy and famous, it doesn't seem like service is snooty. They brought out a complimentary Modelo on the house for my husband, I think because our food took a bit longer to come out. Ambiance is really young and loud; my husband and I definitely were not cool enough to hang out here with our baby! Most people were college students. Overall, extremely satisfying and well worth the hype. read more

Came here for tacos really quick and I was not disappointed. I got 2 carne asadas and 1 barbacoa. The condiments are self serve (cilantro, sauces, pico, etc) I honestly wish I would've eaten here more than once while I was here. My best friend said she isn't impressed, they were just what I was looking for on the other hand. Will be back when I'm back in town! read more

10 stars!!! I'm a Sonoran, from there, carne asada expert and let me tell you, this place is legit. Great quality carne asada, expertly GRILLED but not Smokey. Not dry. Not gamey. Not old tasting. Freshly made even at 230 PM. The quality of the meat as well as the preparation were spot on. Great salsas. The pastor pork is seasoned/marinated very good as well, a less saucy version also chargrilled, more common to Sonoran/northern pastor (versus the southern style). I think these may be the best carne asada tacos in Phoenix, and I've tried many places (not all but many). Can't wait to come back, please open a location in Tucson!!! read more

Taco Boys - Carne asada perfectly grilled, good quality meat - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Taco Boys deserves five stars for how generous their serving sizes are. Every time I go, I am surprised by how much food they give you for the price. The tacos are packed, the bowls are loaded, and everything tastes fresh and well seasoned. You definitely get your money's worth, and you never leave feeling hungry. The staff is friendly, the food comes out quickly, and the portions make it one of the best places to grab a filling meal. I always leave satisfied and excited to come back. read more

Taco Boys - Cabeza and Al Pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Such a great place. Definitely a 5+. The music is wonderful. Nice and loud. Very lively. All the people that work here are super friendly. They clean the tables continuously so everything is very clean. The salad bar is delicious. All fresh ingredients. With huge radishes, cucumbers, pico de gallo, Wakamalii, and so many types of sauces. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito. And piles of high with all the veggies, including chopped up cabbage. read more

Had to try this place out because TACOS are my thing!! Now hear me out, Taco Boys wasn't bad, but after adding up and subtracting their strengths and weaknesses, they come to an average rating. Service was friendly and helpful. Restaurant was clean and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They have a cool liquor wall bar and salsa bar. I had the carne asada taco and al pastor. Al pastor was VERY good! Carne asada was average. Their meat has many fatty pieces () and although I don't mind a little gristle, I found it to be a little too much. I also ordered some tortilla chips, as they are not complimentary like most places (). The chips were not very good (), as they tasted too processed for my homemade taste buds! Salsas were good. Overall, it's a solid taco place, but because I'm a taco connoisseur, I would try out other places when I'm in town. With a few tweaks, this place could definitely make a higher rating, at least in my book. read more

The food was amazing and the service was top tier. Everyone was extremely nice, it was clean and just an overall good environment.

Taco boys are great place in Phoenix. It is definitely barely lively in there and the tacos are no frills but they are delicious. The only thing that doesn't give this a five star review is it's a little tricky to park and to order and wait for your food but other than that it's a great and amazing experience. read more

Taco Boys - Horchata & Carne asada taco - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I don't know how this place got so many good reviews. I read all these reviews saying the meat was really tender, so I ordered two carne asada this and one barbacoa taco, and the chips and salsa and not only was the asada chopped up in large pieces, they were so tough I had to keep spitting it out, and the meat had no flavor. I didn't taste this mesquite fired flavor at all. The barbacoa was at least more edible. The chips were also so stale, we just threw it out. The salsa bar was also subpar. I'm never coming back here again. read more

This was our second visit to Taco Boys and this Tempe location. Parking is a challenge so be warned that the parking lot is tight and there are several other restaurants and businesses in this same complex so you may have to drive around for a bit. Also, the south side of the lot is shared with Dutch Bros., so maneuvering on that end of the building is even more of a challenge. You order and then go sit and then they call your name and you go back up to collect your order. Everything is served on Styrofoam, not my first choice! Wife had to try the Vampiro this time around, which means they crust the tortilla (crispy) and the meat. She loved it! We had the carne asada again, just the most flavorful meat, cooked to perfection...moist and flavorful! I also tried the barbacoa, which was seasoned well and moist and the best! My new favorite for sure! Wife also got an order of the grilled green onions and jalapeno, which was so delicious! We also got an order of chips and they have a great salsa bar that has everything you need to complete your chips and tacos and burritos! Their guac is totally creamy and good, not spicy at all. They also offer huge radishes, pico, shredded cabbage, pickled onions, and other toppings. We truly love eating here! It gets extremely busy and I also didn't mention that they have a full wall of on-tap beers! read more

First time at taco boys, as we were dropping off my Sun Devil. What a fantastic taco joint. The staff was great. The food was fantastic and tacos were $3.50 each. I recommend the beef cheek tacos. They also have this preparation, that I don't remember what it is, but it becomes a crispy tortilla with cheese and meat and it is so epically good. They have a fixings bar that you can get everything you want, and all you want for your tacos or burritos or whatever else you order. I think there are a couple locations and this one was right on or very near the ASU campus . Highly recommend it read more

I could not stand the extreme level of noise blaring from the stereo and both TVs. I'm aware this place isn't catering to middle-aged people like myself. But I watched the table of young people next to me struggle to have a conversation by yelling over the table before they gave up. I also watched the staff yell the same name out repeatedly because most of us couldn't make sense of the name they were yelling. So this extreme noise level isn't working for anyone, regardless of age. I thought maybe I showed up on an off day? But in checking these Yelp reviews, I found 32 that mention the loud noise. So, basically, this place is being purposefully obnoxious. As for the food, it was mediocre though the serving size is good for the price. The asada was flavorless and the barbacoa was overly salted. The toppings bar has no labels, so you don't know what is in the salsas (bad for people with allergies) or what heat level to expect. read more

very good customer service and the food is amazing!when I go there I order the vampiros asada my favorite to order and adding the sauces and the vegetables from the salsa bar makes the food better. I love it there I go there all the time. read more

Listen I've tried tripas when i was younger and have never ate it since. I tried hubbies tripas taco by accident and let me tell you it was so good i had to order my own!!!! Got mine extra crispy and don't think I will ever choose another meat again. ¡Qué rico read more

I ordered a Family pack take out. The order was not complete. Got home and called them. They were apologetic and made it right when I went back. They completed the order and threw in a bit more plus a beer. Never disappoints with great Obregon style carne asada and service oriented and friendly employees. Gracias mis compas! read more

Full size quesadilla is huge and loaded with cheese but was good. I love the self serve toppings bar in the restaurant. Service was quick.

I love this spot! Went in on a Sunday and ordered asada and barbacoa tacos. I've been to Mexico quite a bit and these things taste authentic! Love that they have a salsa bar as well here Super fast service and friendly. Definitely recommend giving this spot a try for your next taco fix read more

We visited here on 12/26/2022. The place was PACKED with people!!! It was a good 15-20 minute wait for our food. People were patient, just hanging out and waiting in the restaurant. No craziness. Employees were friendly and efficient. Nice hang out, take it easy and eat place! You ordered at the register, filled up your own salsa, etc. and just waited until they called your name/number. We ordered an assortment of street tacos. They were delicious! You know it's an authentic taco place when they have cabeza on the menu. And it was definitely on point that night! I would come back here for tacos again. read more

I found one of my new go-to's in Tempe. Taco Boy's is great for many reasons: tasty good food, reasonable prices and great service. I can't really ask for more. The carne asada tacos are delicious and tasty. I recommend either the corn or flour tortilla. Although I usually like corn tacos, the flour tortillas are super tasty and would recommend. I have also ordered the quesadilla. I ordered the small one because I'm slightly lactose intolerant so I didn't want to upset my stomach. To my pleasant surprise, the quesadilla was primarily meat rather than cheese. Don't get me wrong, I could still taste the cheese, which was delicious, but I appreciate the quesadilla was substantive with meat. The establishment has a condiment bar with a variety of salsas and sides like cucumbers and radish, which I appreciated because you choose what and how much I wanted to add to my tacos. I first tried this place yesterday and came back today...and now I'm thinking about how I can make an excuse to come back this weekend. But, let's be honest, I don't need to make an excuse, right. I'm just going to come! read more

Taco Boy's Tempe location was non stop busy for a Thursday evening at 6:30pm and pretty much continued through the night. Tough finding an available table to sit or at least a clean table as no one was wiping off any tables. We ordered our dinner and then they call out your name, there is a self serve drink dispenser so free refills. Carna Asado Tacos are street taco size and then you go to the salsa bar to add your toppings which is a good selection. Pretty good flavor and tasting. Carna Asada Burro was also very good, perfect temperature where not to hot spicy but good flavor. Food was tasty and reasonable to cheap on the wallet. Only need to be a little bit more clean and wipe off tables and clear off tables in between people coming and going. read more

This is such a fun new taco shop, they have a location in PHX but have expanded to Tempe!! We got 2 Al pastor tacos, 2 carne asada tacos, and a carne asada quesadilla. The quesadilla (large) was massive. For $10 they stuffed it with meat and it was so tasty but so big I couldn't finish it. We went with a couple of friends who tried other tacos and the takeaway was Al Pastor is the best and everyone would just get that when we come back. The horchata was also delicious, and also a big size for the price! Overall well priced, delicious Mexican food. Get Al pastor and and carne asada quesadilla and a horchata!! One reason I gave it four stars is the music inside is LOUD, which is a part of their charm BUT made it so hard to hear so plan to sit outside or don't take people you're hoping to talk with if you sit inside. read more

Sooo, was going to show Taco Boys to some out of state family after a night out. Called to make sure of the time they closed since Apple and Google say different things, and got told 7am.. weird. Had another member of the group call and ask what time they closed, they said 5 am. A 3rd member of the group called and they said 12am..... bro. We were gonna make an almost 30 min drive just for tacos, and now I never want to go back after being treated weird. Make it make sense. read more

I wanted to like Taco Boys but there was one thing that drove me out of the restaurant and I won't return until it is fixed: the noise level. We arrived around 6:30 PM and when we walked in, the music was blaring. We figured we could find a seat away from the speakers, so we ordered our food. We then tried to find a table that was not next to the extremely loud speakers. No luck. So we took a seat and waited for our food. Then, they decided to turn up the TV which was playing the Simpsons. And they bumped the volume up as high as they could. So you had blaring music and a blaring TV. It was a mess. I opened up my decibel app and the noise was registering at 90 dB!!! That is really loud and I hope the employees know that under OSHA standards, anything over 80 dB is a threat to long term hearing. Then, the workers had to scream our names as loud as they could so we could retrieve our food. At first, I couldn't understand them. So, they yelled again. Finally, I figured out they were saying my name. We ate as fast as we could and then left just as quickly. Once we stepped outside our ears were ringing. And we were only in there about 30 minutes. As for the food, it was decent. We liked our tacos, but the chips were stale. The salsa and toppings bar is nice but they don't have labels on the salsas so you don't know the heat level. Would I go back? Nope. I value my hearing. Even if I ordered take out, I don't need to be subjected to that level of noise. Even for five minutes. read more

Go! Seriously, if you're scrolling reviews and trying to decide where to go for tacos, stop now and go to Taco Boys. The tacos are amazing! My favorite is the barbacoa vampiro and my boyfriend loves the pastor and the tripa. Fun atmosphere and great food! Go try it! read more

If you want the REAL DEAL, this is the place. I have not had tripa in years! I thought the next time I would have it, would be at a trip in Mexico or California, but to know that I have it is just a few minutes away... I am extremely happy. I brought my dad and his girlfriend here to try the place with me and I believe they got one taco of each of the selections. They said all of it was delicious and want to come back soon. The beer wall is great! They have a good selection and made us stay for hours due to the beer wall and the atmosphere. The only thing I didn't see were jalapeños, but I don't mind bringing my own next time. There were a lot of people when we got there, but the service was quick. Everyone was friendly and the place is kept clean. I HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

The freshly cooked meats and savory smells hit you once you enter the door. The customer service was 5 star, everyone behind the counter were so polite and patient and seemed joyful. The cashier immediately told me there is a salsa bar if I'd like to get anything! They had a lot of variety for the salsa/condiment counter but I ended up picking up cucumber, cabbage, lime, verde salsa and chunky red salsa. I ordered a Plato of Barbacoa and Pastor which came with a side of refried beans and I picked flour tortillas instead of corn. Everything was perfect. It all tasted very authentic and was seasoned perfectly. I'm definitely coming back! read more

When you're in the mood for some authentic tacos al carbon, you need to go by this place. Ordered: Tacos al pastor Tacos de asada Vampiro de pastor Vampiro de asada Side of beans Agua de pina Agua de horchata * they have bottled coke! The vampiros was new to me and they're not my thing but the meat itself was amazing. The pastor was cut into big chunks but they have that amazing char that I love in taco al pastor. They also use the mini tortillas to provide the authentic taco experience. But don't let that mini tortilla fool you, they LOAD the taco with carne! A friend of mine ordered a burrito and they don't mes around. The burrito is just packed with meat and guacamole. No need for beans, rice, or any other fillers!! And don't forget about that salsa bar!! Holy smokes!! they had 4 salsas not including the pico! They had cabbage, cilantro/onion, pickled red onions and other items. Everything you monger need to finish your favorite taco! Beans were so flavorful but they do have a bit of a kick. They're delicious but be careful if you're going to feed it to kids. One tip! If you are going in only wanting one type of meat for tacos, I would recommend ordered the plate! The place comes with a lot of meat (only one choice of meat) beans, and tortillas. You get more bang for your buck this way. Also!! They offer tacos on corn or flour tortillas. Not a lot of places do that. read more
