    Church interior has been converted into a restaurant.
    Andrea H.

    The Taco Guild is such a cool venue. My mom and I were cruising down the road looking for a place to eat. I spotted a few different options on Yelp, this being one of those options. As we drove by, I yelled, "Turn here!" so that my mom would pull into the right driveway. The building is an old church that has been converted into a restaurant. They have kept many of the structures that make it familiar as a church such as the stone steeple outside, the stained glass windows inside, and pew seats converted into dining chairs throughout the great hall. It is fun to see the full bar positioned where you would normally find the pulpit, but instead of a preacher, there is a bartender serving your favorite libations and large screen television showing the latest game. Tacos aren't the only thing on the menu. While these all seemed delicious, we both enjoyed a chile rellano. Prior to that, we indulged in their white queso with green chiles. It was so addictive we took some home with us. The food is very anglicized. If you are from the midwest, it will probably seem authentic. If you have been living in the southwest and eating any combination of Mexican, TexMex, CaliMex, New Mexican food, this place probably won't be that pleasing to your palette. It's decent food, but if I had a chance to return or try something new in the area, I'd opt for the latter. Although it was a fun experience because of the ambience. Plus the staff were friendly and diligent in performing their jobs.

    Chicken Tinga Taco

    Cool atmosphere and the bartender was pretty friendly however this place is expensive and the taco was mediocre in my opinion. I had the chicken tinga and a side of beans. This was my second stop of the day after going to huarachis downtown, might not be fair to compare the two but.. they're both Mexican restaurants that sell tacos in Phx... disappointing experience here however gorgeous restaurant and like I said the bartender was friendly and changed the tv to the golf tourney at my request which I always appreciate. Margs were good too but I don't think I would return.

    The holy grail of tacos no pun intended. This taco spot is in uptown phoenix. This location used to be a church but they revamped it to a taco spot. I love confession hour lol pun intended and taco Tuesday! I know 8 bucks is a bit much for a taco but they are gourmet and more than enough protein, toppings, and flavor in each. I only ate two the last time I went. There was nothing old about their old fashion very tasty no cherry. Service was great and they filled up that chip bowl at least 3 times . Great service, nice ambiance you can come here for a corporate event, happy hour with friends or a date. Highly recommend !

    Great tacos, even better atmosphere! The architecture here is stunning and the service is fast and attentive. Highly recommend the Lamb and Duck tacos for something different. Great happy hour spot if you're in Midtown. Will definitely be back!

    Baja Fish Barbacoa Salmon

    This feels like one of those places people hype up more than necessary because the interior and overall concept are undeniably cool. Don't get me wrong, the tacos were good, but the price point felt a little hard to justify. I'd personally rather head to Taco Chelo or Céntrico for a more satisfying value. That said, if you're stopping by for a small bite or a single drink, the space itself is worth seeing. The stained glass and renovated church setting are genuinely striking and give the place a unique atmosphere. The key lime crème brûlée was solid, but it didn't quite wow me but the service was good and I can appreciate that.

    Green Chile Queso
    Ed L.

    Cool place, interesting being in an old church and very good tacos. The chips are light and good. Salsa trio is impressive with a nice variety of tasty, tangy, and spicy but not deathly. The queso was a really generous serving and plenty to share for a group. The house margarita was a little weak for me but perfect for my wife. I had a Maestro Dobel margarita that was delicious. The barbacoa and carnitas tacos were very good. The brisket had a nice Smokey flavor but was overly fatty. The rice was a bit bland. We also got the elote in a bowl. Nice flavor, but clearly not just shaved off the cob. The grilled burrito and quesadillas look good. Something to try next time.

    2 brisket tacos and 1 barbacoa
    Delaney H.

    We came back a second time just to be sure we loved it here, and....we do. I've been dreaming about this place all week. The brisket tacos are supremely delicious, and Sean our bartender put us on to some good drinks and sides/starters to try. Absolutely love this place and will be back often

    Chipotle Cherry Steak Taco
    Jasmine G.

    Hands down the best queso of all time and the trio of salsas you get on arrival are each unique and incredible! A tried and true, my ride or die and worth every penny, the chipotle cherry steak taco on the homemade corn tortillas. Truly an art piece of a taco. These tacos are incredibly filling; especially if snacking on chips, but if you feel like you truly want the whole experience, the guild style style street corn is spicy buttery perfection in a cup!

    Tacos: Jackson, Chipotle Cherry Steak, Baja and the California Taco
    Ashley W.

    The ambiance was stellar! It's built from an old church and it's seriously so cool. The building itself is instagram worthy but the food even more so. Everything we had was very thoughtfully made. It's not your regular taco joint, it's artistic and a very fun experience.

    What a way to kick off our lovely girls' weekend with my daughter at Taco Guild! The ambience, the drinks (thank you to our great bartender/server!) and the appys were perfect! It was one of my all time favs, but Hadnt been here in a while since I no longer work downtown, but it was just as good as I remembered! Thank you for starting off our Friday beautifully!

    My husband and I traveled from San Antonio, Texas to enjoy a weekend in Arizona celebrating our anniversary and his birthday. We are very harsh critics of tacos being from South Texas so we wanted to see what Arizona had to offer. We were in desperate need of some food after feeling like we were about to die, trying to foolishly hike the Cholla Trail on the Camelback Mountains. I stayed in the car while my husband ran inside to grab us some tacos and drinks before heading back to our hotel since we had a dinner reservation later that evening. My husband asked the bartender which of the beef tacos which was better, the barbacoa or the brisket. The guy strongly recommended the brisket, so that's what we went with. We also got the chicken tinga taco and the Mexican Coke and we were given a free order of chips and salsa. The beef taco was very good, very creative. The slaw and fried pickle chips were really good, but the brisket was a bit too lean and dry to work well in a taco. We were definitely expecting it to have a little bit more fat and moisture. The chicken taco was insanely delicious, we absolutely loved it! Their tacos come on corn tortillas that are thin but sturdy, and they warmed them up just right, nothing worse than a cold corn tortilla that rips in the middle of eating. The chips and salsa were so delicious, the chips were still hot as if they just made them and the salsa definitely tasted like it was fresh from that morning. The price-point was definitely higher than what we would pay in San Antonio but everyone told us that is to be expected one in Scottsdale. The restaurant itself is an old renovated cathedral and it is so beautiful! There were so many beautiful places to see, I'm definitely looking forward to planning another trip to Arizona.

    Our recent visit to Taco Guild was unfortunately underwhelming. Although the atmosphere is unique and what appears to be an old, renovated church, the service was lackluster, and the food lacked flavor. We were sitting out on the patio and felt that we saw every other table servers 3 to 4 times more frequently than we saw our own. We are commonly waiting 15 to 20 minutes for our water to be refilled. The tacos that we had is our main were OK, but seemed to lack flavor. I was particularly disappointed with the Barbacoa tacos, which I did not feel had lot of wow factor to them. Overall, it was an adequate meal, but not up to the flavor or service standards that I was expecting.

    Tori M.

    Great food in a super unique spot! It looks small from outside and the cathedral vibe is so beautiful. Service was quick on Boxing Day for lunch, food was hot and fresh tasting! The elote was well loved!
