Saw some good reviews, so I came down to check it out with my Cousin. I went with an al pastor taco and a small order of carne asada nachos. Came out to about $15.00 including tip. How was it? Pretty damn delicious! Al Pastor Taco- I got this on a flour tortilla. Nicely marinated meat from the trompo, topped with some pineapple, cilantro, onion and guac. It was tasty! Would get again. Carne Asada Nachos- These were delicious! Chips topped with carne asada, queso, shredded cheese, onions, cilantro, guac and sour cream/crema. I really enjoyed these. Got a mix of melty, saucy cheese from the queso and then some shredded white cheese for good texture. Plenty of carne asada, too! Cool spot. Once I pulled up, I recognized this building used to be an Italian place. The guy at the register said they had been open almost a year now. If I am down in the Deer Valleyish area, I would definitely come back. Food was great! read more

Delicious Mexican food and consistently satisfying. There's a wide variety on the menu, but I keep coming back for the tacos. The tortillas are made fresh every day, and you can taste the difference immediately. Fresh ingredients make this a great spot for lunch or dinner--everything tastes bright, flavorful, and made with care. My favorite is the carnitas taco on flour tortillas: tender, savory meat, terrific flavor, and those fresh tortillas pull it all together. Just plain good eating. If you want honest, fresh, flavorful Mexican food, Taco Cinco is worth a visit. read more

Yummy food, it's counter service and has very friendly people. The chicken was very juicy and tender, as were the pork carnitas. The flavors are primarily focused via the sauces/salsas. Reasonable prices too! We tried regular tacos and a vampiro. Vampiro was like a tostada but plain- crispy bottom with cheese and sauce baked in, then topped with generous amount of meat and salsa. Delicious! read more

Taco Cinco should quickly become the #1 taco spot in Phoenix. I know many of my neighbors love it as I have seen it mentioned on the Nextdoor app quite often. We finally decided to check it out today! As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted. We were asked if it was our first time and told we could sample anything we'd like. To me, that's a sign of a place that is proud of the food they make. And Taco Cinco 100% should be proud. We did sample the carnitas and the al pastor. Both were excellent. The fries were calling to me but I also really wanted to try a vampiro. So I got both. I chose the pollo (chicken) for the vampiro and the asada (beef) for the fries. Hubby had a bowl with al pastor (seasoned pork) and fries with the carnitas (pork). We each ordered a small fries as we weren't sure of the size. We probably could have shared. Everything was so fresh! I'm serious when I say this was probably the best Mexican food that I've ever had. It's definitely my favorite taco place and we didn't even have the tacos yet! We will absolutely be back! If you're in the North Phoenix area, I highly recommend you stop in. read more

I took my first visit to Tacos Cinco it is not far form my new residence and I was starving. . I read the reviews and had to try it . It's a cozy location with tv's and tables plenary of space to sit . The bring you your food by the number IIO are assigned . I got carnitas and checked tacos with one in the homemade corn tortilla and the other two in the flour . The taste was great and I couldn't ask for more . The side of beans and rice helped add flavor to the meal. Lastly, the queso has a nice flavor with a bit of kick, not burning, but very flavorful to make the meal go down just rights. I will be back here soon and get some other tacos or a mulita. I would recommend the food here to anyone who is hungry and it is worth the drive if it sir close by. read more

Taco Cinco - Carnitas and chicken taco. Beans, rice and queso. - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Really great first experience here. We live in the area and were in the mood for a taco/Mexican lunch. My husband and I both got bowls and very much enjoyed. Perfect portion, meat was very flavorful- all was fresh. Will be back to try the tacos, quesadillas', etc! Wish we would have gone sooner. read more

The carne asada fries were quite tasty and the best part of the meal. They had lots of flavors with the meat and creme and onions. They would definitely be ordered again. The quesadilla was good, but not as big as I thought it would be. The burrito for only a $1 more was a good size, but far from the best carne asada burrito I have had. Place is clean and people working hard. There was a line, but only I think because a big soccer team came right before me. I would come back for those asada fries. read more

The lady that took my order was so nice! She gave us a free sample & immediately knew how amazing these tacos are. I am in awe. Coming from someone that eats a lot of tacos these are absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend. Not to mention the place is very clean! read more

Taco Cinco - Pastor taco, asada taco, chicken taco - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Tasty, clean, will be back.When I say clean, I'm not just referring to the interior- which is spotless- but the food itself. Mexican can get heavy and weighed down with heavy sauces, cheeses, and creams. This was fresh, simple, yet flavorful. I had the carnitas bowl with rice, beans, meat, cheese, lettuce, crema and my personal choice of salsas from their bar. Each sauce was fresh and carried nice to moderate heat. I chose to combine their red and green, a perfect combination. My husband had a carnitas and an al pastor taco with rice and beans. I was impressed that the al pastor is shaved from a trompo, not sitting in a pan somewhere. He yummed over both tacos. My only comment would be that beans and rice need salt, but it's a minor difference of opinion. Prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be back to try other options. , read more

Taco Cinco - Nacho carne asada. - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Three burritos, a quesadilla, 4 cokes and chips and salsa cost $75. Seems expensive. Burrito was good but not amazing. I like the salsa bar. They don't understand veggie food. They do have cactus but I didn't try it. Food came out quickly. The chips were good and melted in your mouth but were very crispy. The guac tasted like nothing. Ambiance is non existent. Not sure if I will return. read more

It's not often you can give an honest 5 star rating but time after time the food, staff and restaurant always hit the mark! The food is amazing literally every time we visit (which is often) The staff greets you with a smile and takes care of their customers The restaurant is always clean!!!!!! There are soooo many places where they don't clean after people eat and we have seen so many times that they clean right away, make sure everything is stocked and ready to go! You can't and won't find a better spot that like I said will hit the mark EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!!!! Thank you Taco Cinco for becoming our favorite place to eat!! read more

Just getting off a flight and searching for tacos close to home has always been a problem... BUT not anymore.. Taco Cinco please never leave because the taco and the nachos I had was FIRE AND SOO GOOD, and let me also tell you about the owner Pedro was so nice and I was a little delirious after a long week of work travel but he was kind and the Jamaica was hitting. The salsa bar was clean and the restaurant was also clean. I love great tacos and Tacos Cinco is the spot! Also he said they make their own tortillas so I will be back for burritos! read more

Very nice and clean spot. The employees were super nice and I was created as soon as I walked in. I placed a pick up order and took it home. The tacos were all very good. I got a pastor, carnitas and chicken taco. They all had a different salsa with onion and cilantro on top. They were all solid tacos. I also got a carne asada mulita and thought it was delicious, it's probably better eating it fresh rather than 30 minutes later after my car ride home. The horchata was also good and you can tell it's home made. Definitely a solid taco spot and will be back. read more

This place is amazing. I regret not trying it sooner. I just can't go back Chithotle after this. Think of this gem as an alternative to corporate quick service Mexican-inspired food but that is authentic, family-owned and run, uses better quality chicken, has a proper salsa bar, and your stuff is truly *made to order with love* not just assembled. For the price I'm happy too. The bowl I received had some heft and definitely knocked out my munchies. :) My new go-to neighborhood quick-service Mexican restaurant. The vibe inside was right - clean, good lighting, and plenty of seating. Love that they have Fresca. ;) read more

Taco Cinco - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is a very welcome addition to our neighborhood, which needs more good places to eat. The restaurant has a very casual layout, you order at the counter, and service is very friendly. I ordered three tacos: the asada was marinated and grilled just right, the pastor had a really good fresh-from-the-trompo flavor, and the nopal (cactus) had the delightfully tender and slightly pleasantly tart crunch characteristic of good nopales. The creamy horchata was the perfect beverage for washing it all down. I look forward to coming back to try the vampiros and other offerings! read more

So happy this place is open. The inside is fresh- fresh paint, signs, tables, etc. and the food- so so good! I got the carne asada bowl, my husband got a vampiro and 2 tacos, all asada.

We ordered Taco Cinco for a team lunch, and it was a huge hit! I actually stopped by Taco Cinco beforehand to sample the tacos because I wanted to make sure our team would love the food. The restaurant was clean, the staff was welcoming, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. When my order came out, my tastebuds were overjoyed by the flavors, and I thought, "Our team will love this!"--and I was right! Everyone had so many compliments about the flavor, authenticity, and quality of the food. The owner, Pedro, was also wonderful to work with. He was incredibly accommodating, attentive to the details of our order, and even catered the delivery himself. That extra level of care really stood out and made the whole experience feel personal. Everything was delicious--from the tacos (carne asada was a fan favorite!) to the guacamole to the homemade horchata and jamaica. Taco Cinco definitely delivered a delicious lunch, provided great service, and we would happily order from them again! Thank you, Pedro and the team at Taco Cinco! read more

This is my favorite local spot for amazing Mexican food! Asada nachos are my weekly 'go to' and if you're so inclined, try their margaritas! Sooo good. Great food, great service. So glad they're in the Moon Valley neighborhood. read more

Who doesn't love tacos? When you try the ones at Taco Cinco you will love them even more. We recently decided to check out the new guys on the corner, and we weren't disappointed. It's a very clean, industrial look, but the friendly staff has high-energy enthusiasm. The kitchen is open to view, so you can see what's being made and how clean the prep area is. We were greeted warmly, offered samples, and then treated patiently when we suddenly couldn't make up our minds. I settled on the steak quesadilla. It was stuffed with tender, juicy beef that was just so good. (I couldn't finish it all). There was no greasy heaviness to the food. My picky husband tried several different tacos--again, fresh tasting and quite full--and he's planning his next choices. You place your order at the counter by the entrance, and it is delivered to your table. We didn't wait long. Presentation isn't fancy, and the salsa and sauces come in plastic cups. (There is also a bar where you can get more.) We drank soda, but it appears they have a liquor license, so a Margarita would certainly be a nice accompaniment next visit. Prices may be a little higher than those of other taco shops, but for the quantity and the quality, I'm certainly ready to pay a little more. I'm so glad they've moved into the neighborhood. read more

Fast, friendly and made with quality! Our go to order has been the Carnitas, Al Pastor and Pollo Asado with everything tacos!

Eat here every week! My husband and I always have lunch here. They have a good bowl that is super clean and not heavy like other places.

Love tacos, burritos and excellent service?! You Must try Taco Cinco!! Personally welcomed as soon as we stepped in. Everything on the menu looked delicious! We chose carne asada tacos (one corn and one flour), carne asada mulita (two tortillas with melted cheese, meat in between) and an al pastor vampiro (corn tostada with cheese and meat on top), guacamole and chips! Absolutely amazing and delicious!! The meat was tender and full of flavor. Michelada was refreshing! The ambiance bright and joyful music representing our culture!! Love it! We'll be back again and again! Muchas gracias a Pedro y a su equipo talentoso! read more

We so enjoyed Taco Cinco! This is a new and welcome addition to the Thunderbird Road and 7th st area. Historically, there has been some overturn of businesses on the strip mall, but I feel that Taco Cinco is gaining popularity and will be sticking around! We tried the mulitas and tacos with carne asada, carnitas, and pollo. Amazing flavor with all the toppings. Such a good value for what you get. The owners and staff are so sweet, and we feel good supporting them. There's plenty of seating in the shop and it's also great for takeout. read more

Just had my first Al Pastor Vampiro. No cilantro*! It was delicious freaking delicious! Do not go to the big garbage fast food chains. Go here!

Will be back. *Sure global democracy is in jeopardy but we have to deal with the "cilantro" problem soon. read more
