pina colada taco!
Melissa C.

Love their tacos and margarita flight! Tacos are a generous size. I've tried 4 different tacos during my 2 visits here and they all were pretty delicious. The most recent visit I had the pina colada taco and the new marg flight (choice of 3 from a pretty long list, on the rocks or frozen). The taco had yummy coconut shrimp and diced pineapple on flour. I added hot salsa which really added to the flavor! Complimentary chips and salsas are very good. They serve 3 salsa types (1 mild, 2 hot), and i liked them all. For my on the rocks flight I chose prickly pear, guava and passionfruit. I love prickly pear but this one didn't shine like my other 2 choices. Still tasty tho. My party of 3 enjoyed their tacos and we all agree that the atmosphere adds to the experience! The bar is very ornate and fits well with the stained glass windows. An almost heavenly experience!

This is for the bartender last night the young kid that seemed like it was his first day on the job. I ordered a margarita and it literally showed up without any salt or anything fancy when I was just there a couple weeks ago and it was so beautifully done. I asked him if he could please get me a cup with salt on the rim and he says maybe for your next time I'm like is this like some sort of low budget place because I thought this was a nice establishment really disappointed.

Carnitas and baja fish tacos
George E.

In Phoenix and wanted to change up the taco scene with a return to an old favorite, Taco Guild. Located in an old church, the interior still is ethereal and the old alter being the bar is innovative. You feel like you need to speak quietly but obviously, that is not the case. The chips and salsa are a good start with three different spice levels. The chips are fresh and perfectly salted. Tacos here are not street tacos and that is evident by the prices, a healthy chunk per taco. We each ordered two tacos that are full sized and stuffed with ingredients. The fried fish taco was lightly battered and flaky cod with Mexican slaw and chipolte aioli. The dry Mexican slaw overwhelmed the dish and made it difficult to taste the other ingredients. The carnitas taco with braised pork, pickled onions and cilantro was juicy. The panko coconut shrimp with diced pineapple salsa and green onion needs more salsa or an aioli for flavor. Our final taco was the shredded duck breast with lemon / pineapple crema, duck skin chicharron, green onions and pear slaw. Again, a weaker flavor profile and no WOW factor. Taco Guild has a beautiful building, interior and layout but the large tacos are lacking real flavor combinations that make you wanting to return. The tacos are stuffed and large but not memorable, it taste to much like fillers not flavor bombs. I hope that a review and tweak of the menu will propel they back to more exciting times.

Stained glass windows from when it was a church
Mike B.

When you walk in, the stained glass windows stand out in the very cool decor and atmosphere. We were early on a Friday night before it was too crowded as we had a show at the theater to go to. The server was friendly and informative and in fact sat with us several times to answer questions. Chips come out with 3 home made salsa's. I like hot, but the hottest (I was warned was too hot for me!). The medium was so good we asked if they sold it, but they were out of bottles at the moment to the server brought me a little to take home. FOOD was all for the most part really great!!! When, not if we go back, we will skip the brisket Taco and if I get the street corn, I will get the spiced version not the traditional version. DRINKS were also outstanding. My wife enjoyed one of the Margarita where you get to choose the flavor and I have Both a Tequila and Mezcal Old fashion and discovered one of my new favorite drinks, that Mezcal Old Fashion! Then DESERT. We opted for the Chocolate Cheesecake so we could share and it was Very Good, but my have to try the Key Lime Brulé next time!!

Amber M.

We came for dinner on a Saturday night and reservations are definitely needed. The staff is very friendly and helpful when picking what to order. I had Barbacoa and chipotle cherry steak tacos, while my partner had carnitas, California and the shrimp fajita. We both LOVED our food. The chipotle cherry steak was such a bold and delicious flavor. Never had tacos like this and I'm so impressed with the flavor combinations! The restaurant is in an of church and the ambiance is so cool. I think they really hit the spot with this place! We did order the churros and didn't love the caramel filling. Otherwise everything was amazing!

Horchata Chocolate Cake, thick and rich.
Natasha A.

We are a fan. Love that we can enjoy tacos and drinks inside of this historic church. The complimentary jalapeno house salsa and house chips were great. Loved the green chile queso. Enjoyed the cherry steak taco. We also liked the enchilada, shrimp taco, and california taco. Also, we had the best horchata here! I also asked for a shot of Captain Morgan which they happily gave me so I could add it to my horchata. There was a wait on a Wednesday night so I recommend making a reservation.

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
Benjamin H.

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.

Tacos with a side a plantains
Abayomi O.

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 !

Baja Fish Barbacoa Salmon
Nicole B.

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.

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

Lori M.

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!

Mesal Manhattan
Keith C.

UPDATE - Taco Guild is truly a GEM! The bartending technique here is better than most upscale steakhouses in Phoenix. The cocktails are not cheap, but they are worth the price especially on HH. The ice cubes are crystal clear and they have a special shaped one for the highballs. I had the Mescal Manhattan and it was properly cooled and diluted before pouring on the beautiful cube. The balance was spot on for me. Our bartender was attentive and accurate with our orders. The complementary chips and salsas are next level. You get three salsas/sauces to sample on the thin and crispy chips. Don't freak out when you see the pricing on the tacos. They range from $7-10 but these are not little street tacos. One could be a meal especially paired with the chips and salsa. Two tacos were almost more than we could handle. The Chipotle Cherry Steak was tasty -albeit a bit sweet for my taste. My wife loved the Carnitas and my favorite was the California or the Shrimp. Just do it! You won't be disappointed if you like well executed cocktails and great Southwest flavors.

Located on Roosevelt Row, Taco Boy's has a parking lot. It's not big, but I found a spot on a Thursday evening. Ambiance (3.5/5): Taco Boy's is a little chaotic. You order at the counter and then they call your name when your food is ready. It's not a large taco joint, and it's a popular taco joint. Which means you'll see a lot of people cycling in and out, as a lot place to-go orders too. Not the most calm experience, but not an issue for me. You'll also come out smelling like meat lol. They have an open kitchen, and it smells fantastic. The downside is that it sticks to your clothes, too. Service (4/5): Service isn't a big part of the experience, but for what it is, it's pretty smooth. They took my order quickly, I paid relatively quickly, and my food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. Drinks (5/5): I'm a sucker for agua frescas. Taco Boy's delivers. They had four flavors available. I went with the pineapple/mango. It's served in a large cup. Good stuff. Food (5/5): I wasn't terribly hungry so I got a small barbacoa quesadilla. Outside of quesadillas, they have tacos, vampiros, and burritos. Your choice of meat including usual suspects like carne asada, al pastor, chicken, etc. They grill all of their food right in front of you and it's absolutely delicious. Fresh off the grill. Flavorful. Well marinated. Quality meats and ingredients. At the complimentary salsa bar, you can stock up on various sauces, limes, cucumbers, etc. I can't wait to get back to have a heartier meal and try out more of their items. Hands-down, the best Mexican food I've had in Phoenix so far (after a year and a half).
