Love this place! great food, service, and ambiance. I love the handmade tortillas and you can actually see them make it. I always order the fish tacos and it's very flavorful read more

"QUALITY & AUTHENTIC - PHXS BEST TACO!" -Service is quick -customer service is amazing I ordered the Devils Mess Burrito. A revolutionary piece of art! Presentation is beautiful and eats well. Crispy, soft, creamy, cooked to perfection! Green salsa is to die for!!! Red salsa is good but wow they have two green salsas that are different and taste like SALSA HEVEAN!!! The black salsa is roasted, and the flavor is deep and rich, and it's developed perfectly ! If you mix all the salsa together, it creates an unreal experience!!! This place continues to impress me ! I loved the burrito and the price is justified! I will be back!!! read more

Cute little place downtown with great music and good. I'd get the costra taco again, but I'd try something other than the chicken taco next time. Fast service. read more

Let's cut to the chase: the tacos here are pretty good and authentic. The decorations are cute too and I like that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. You'll have to find street parking as there is no parking lot. The only vegetarian option they had was a sweet potato taco, which was good, but I would have liked more options since I'm not a fan of sweet potato. The beef tacos were good and reminded me of street/taco truck tacos. I'd come here again, but admittedly I think I've had better tacos.. or maybe I just had high expectations since I've heard a lot of people talk about Taco Chelo. read more

Wandered in here while walking around the Roosevelt Row area on a lovely Friday afternoon. When we went up to order, we were told about their happy hour specials (Score!!) so we went that route. We had chicken tacos, beef taquitos, and barbacoa tacos. Everything was fresh and tasty! The corn tortillas had a very homemade look and taste. Servers were very sweet and the patio was wonderful (in late November ). One heads-up... the key to the bathroom is on the left inside the back door of the chicken & rib place when you go down the alley read more

Taco Chelo - Yumminess - Tacos Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If you want some homemade tacos and good margaritas, this is the place to go. It's a smaller space but they still have a good amount of seating both indoor and outdoor. My friend was visiting from New York and wanted to find some tacos to brag about when she went back east and she was blown away I still think about the barbacoa and carnitas tacos weeks later. And it doesn't hurt that they have a good happy hour for margaritas read more

After years of walking past this place every day, I finally decided to give it a try! Fresh, flavorful tacos that aren't too heavy make Taco Chelo a popular choice. What I like: It's not the most spacious taqueria, but they manage to give it decent enough seating and plenty of atmosphere. Our food was out in about 10 minutes despite being quite busy. Corn tortillas are the best I've had in a while. The agua frescas are refreshing. Things I don't like: I think the meat is dry. I think the salsas are too mild and too tart. And the menu is limited, with some choices only being available on particular days of the week (weird). I always thought this place would be mad overrated, but it's not. Just a little overrated. Not the worst lunch option on the row. read more

I absolutely love this place!! Street parking can be a bit of a challenge, but I love the casual atmosphere. After ordering at the counter, you bring a number to your table and the food and drinks are brought out to you. They have minimal seating inside, lots of outdoor seating, and a few chairs at the bar area as well. Whatever is serve yourself. I love their prickly pear margarita and their Oaxaca margarita. My favorite dish is the flamingo! Definitely a must try!! My friend from Mexico says this is the only Mexican restaurant in Phoenix he is willing to eat at. read more

I came to Yelp looking for the best fish taco and dang yelp didn't disappoint. I don't like fish that much but needed a fish taco during lent on a Friday. Well, maybe I don't like fish tacos, but I like good fish tacos! I think I would order this again even if I could eat meat! The potion was huge and it wasn't fishy at all! My family also enjoyed the chicken taco and the carne asada taco. Service was fast as can be. We will be back. read more

New fave spot in downtown Phoenix! The food is very good with homemade tortillas and good prices. The staff is quick and friendly. They have some tables inside and outside space too. The torta and costras were very good. I really liked their fun cocktails as well. Definitely a repeat taco spot, we've come back a few times now and it's always delicious. I recommend trying a bit of everything. It's a small restaurant but the patio will be fun to use when it's not too hot or cold outside. I look forward to coming back some more! read more

Would give more than 5 stars if I could. SO GOOD. Every taco we tried was so flavorful and delicious, and the tortillas were the best I've ever had. The happy hour spicy marg was also perfect. An amazing meal before the suns game. Cannot wait to be back here to try out more of the tacos. read more

Pros: Great food, Happy Hour, Music & Vibe is what brings us back even though it's a 30+ minute drive. Cons: No Fly control, Handwashing station lacks cleanliness & right next to a trash can where a fly fest builds up, Tables are always dirty from previous guests, and shared restrooms so keys are always missing, RR has no hand soap & the cleanliness lacks up-keeping. Avoid this location during 1st Fridays. read more

Delicious food with a chill ambience. I ordered barbacoa tacos, costra tacos, a barbacoa quesadilla, a horchata, and rice and beans. You can tell that everything is handmade and made with love. My favorite things were the horchata (it is made to order and delicious!) and the costra tacos (the crispy cheese on top make it a stand out item). I found the quesadillas to be a bit small and greasy for the price, so I would most likely skip those next time. Other than that, everything was incredible and I can't wait to come back soon! read more

Stopped in here not knowing what to expect with my husband and new baby. It's seat yourself and order at the counter which worked out perfectly for us. Love the ambiance very authentic and hip. The service was great they checked on us frequently even though it was serve yourself and accidentally messed up my order but remade it quickly. The food was bomb. We ordered a happy hour taco each, chicken and fish, they were huge portions. We also each got a burrito a bean and cheese and a steak. I will definitely be back when we're in town again. read more

Taco Chelo - Chicken taco and Carne Asada - Tacos Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Now these tacos are nothing like San Diego (or Mexico), but for Arizona, I would say these are top tier. My boyfriend told me that the tortillas are freshly made by hand, and they are near perfect -- so good! He ordered a chicken and two carnitas tacos, I got a fish, carnitas and barbacoa taco, and we got the chicharrones. I will say that the tacos were very oily, as in dripping, but that also adds some flavor. The fish taco, which also had a rich crema, and the barbacoa tacos were my favorite. The carnitas taco was also tasty, but I had a lot of fat pieces, which my boyfriend is more a fan of. The chicharrones had a kick to them, but were so crunchy and delicious. We each had a Jarritos to drink, but their beverages sounded enticing. We also sat outside since it was so nice out, but I would like to dine in because the establishment looks cute. It is a pretty open and inviting space. I definitely want to come back and try other food on the menu, as well as come back for the chicharrones. read more

I gave four stars because I truly love my spicy Picoso Margarita. Bartender Genesis was awesome. Food-- well the chips were prepackaged in containers and they were stale. Ehhh. I'll drink there- happily. read more

Wished I skipped this place. Both the tacos and chips came out COLD. Cute decor does not make up for cold food...

The food and drinks are amazing. It is a middle ground price, but the food is so good. I dream about their tortas. Staff is always super friendly and helpful. I love the outdoor seating and will return read more

Can't get enough of this place. You have to check out Taco Chelo if you're in Rosevelt District. The costra taco and the michelada are a must! Love this spot for lunch, always consistent with the quality and flavor. The pricing is also pretty reasonable considering where it is situated and the fact that it's so popular. Anything you try will not disappoint! Love their salsas that they serve with the chips and salsa appetizer. The atmosphere is inviting and modern, you have to try patio seating if the weather is nice! read more

Ambiance (5/5): There is plenty indoor and outdoor dining available. There's also a takeout pick up by the bar. I loved the decor on the inside and vibrant vibes. Service (N/A): Countertop ordering and then they bring out the food to you by assigned numbers after ordering. The food does not come out at the same time. My initial order was wrong and caused delay. Fish (5/5): the battered fish taco tasted great with the white sauce giving it a creaminess to the bite. Carnitas (4/5): I've had better carnitas elsewhere as it needed more spices in the flavor. It was a smidge too dry for me but overall still a good taco. The tortillas can be subbed for flour! read more

5/5 stars for service, staff, happy hour. 4/5 for flavor on some of the tacos but they are still pretty good (I might be a strict critic on this one). You can't beat their happy hour. $2 tacos for a few of the types. Everyone is friendly and it has a great family business feel. Cute atmosphere that is Instagram worthy. Salads are great and pricing is very reasonable. Would recommend!! read more

Found myself near Taco Chelo, so I decided to get dinner to-go. Placed an order at the counter. If fish tacos are on the menu, I will almost always order it. Theirs sounded great, so I ordered three of them and a vegetable quesadilla. Within minutes, my order was ready. The fish tacos were excellent! They came with with beer battered fish, cabbage, pickled onion, chile morita crema, and pico de gallo. Flavors were on point and the fish was cooked well. The quesadilla was yummy, too, but the tacos were definitely the star of the show. Service was pleasant and quick. The space is fun and vibrant. I would definitely return here if I'm back in the area. read more

Ok, so we stayed in Phoenix one night after a cardinals game. Was trying to decide between here and taco boys but I just CANNOT pass up a torta. Once I realized you can switch the meat it was game on. We got our order to go...2 tortas, both with chicken, and an order of chips and dips (salsa and guacamole). When we got back to our room I took my first bite and there was a wire in my sandwich! Ugh! BUT...but...The sandwich was so flavorful...I excused it. That's huge bc usually I would have called, not ate the sandwich, etc. But when I was there I could see the kitchen and the facility and it was clean. I kinda assume the wire was something holding the chicken while it was being grilled. I can't believe I didn't complain but...oh well. The food was super yummy, staff nice, facility was clean, prices reasonable. So the dock of a star is obviously for the wire. Chicken tasted like it was fresh off the grill, guac was perfectly seasoned, and the red salsa had a smoky flavor to it that I was totally feeling. All in all...I'd recommend and would return. read more
