A STAPLE. If someone claims to know good food in the Valley but doesn't know Tacos Viva... they're clearly not on the food scene. Hands down, some of my FAVORITE tacos and salsa in the entire Valley. GET THE AL PASTOR. Thank me mañana. And Tacos Viva, PLEASE come to the West Valley(Avondale) . We need you over here!

This is probably the best taco place in AZ! My friend recommended this place and we drove 30 mins just to eat here. It was so worth. We got three Al Pastor tacos and one carne asda quesadilla. We also go the Al Pastor fries. They make the food fresh. I love that they add a pineapple in the tacos. It really enhances the meat. The place is pretty big and we're able to find a big table. They have a sauce bar. The orange sauce is the best one in my opinion. You order from the cashier and then go up to the counter and get your food. The food comes out pretty quick. The Al pastor fries were huge portions we ended up sharing in our group of 5. Everything was so delicious and it was just as good as Tacos El Gordos. My boyfriend even said he liked this place more than there. I would 100% recommend anyone to come here. The only down side is they don't sell burritos.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and we're so glad we came here bc Taco Viva rules. Very nicely priced, super flavorful tacos. It was poppin when we walked in, line was huge already. The workers are all so friendly and helpful. You order at the register, then bring your ticket over to the line, where they make and bring you your food. I will always get stoked over a salsa bar. The orange and green salsas were so good. Inside is pretty big and clean, plenty of seating. We had Al pastor and carne asada tacos con todos. I also tried an Al pastor mulas con todos, the flour tortilla for the mulas was different from the flour tortilla for a reg taco, it was thicccer and more filling. The price point of everything sold here is great, excellent value. Ample parking in their lot outside.

Ok, this whole experience needs to be bottled and sold across the U.S.... As soon as I stepped inside, I felt as though transported to a CDMX taqueria (but indoors, with A/C). Such a fun concept to take that experience and turn it into a fast casual restaurant. The menu is painted on the wall--again, very true to the authentic experience. Tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, and aguas frescas round out the menu. I had a taco and tostada--con todo/"with everything." Great salsa bar with so many spice levels and options. And a lot of lime. I kinda over-did it on the salsa and quickly needed a bev. But the line was out the door. So that's the only downside... if you want to order more, you have to hop back in line.

Whenever a restaurant makes their own tortilla, I must try just because they put so much work into fresh quality food and I'm all about that. This place is very bright and clean and is a counter service shop so you order, they make your food and sit to eat. Tacos are basically $4 a piece but they are bigger than your regular taco and they don't have any burritos on their menu. We order the Al pastor and asada with everything on it. Al pastor was a hit but the asada was super salty. The salsa they put on the asada taco was the culprit. Probably won't get the salsa next time.

Very very good!!!! Nothing too fancy, you walk up to order and pay then take your ticket to the counter. Tacos and the mula were great and came out fast. The carne asada was delish and you can tell it's a quality cut of meat. They make their salsa and tortillas in house as well so you have to try a few from the salsa bar. Would definitely recommend for a quick casual bite and we will be back.

Went on a Saturday and the parking lot was full. A great sign of what's to come. Stood in a small line and took about 10 min to place our order. Cashier rung me up and asked me to give to the receipt to the taco guys. They were super fast and efficient. Got carne asada and chicken tacos along with the carne asada fries. All of it was delicious with the smoky flavor and the salsas were fantastic. Order it "con todo" with everything. I'm going back in a couple days again. Place is pretty epic.

An amazing taco spot! Reminds me of Tacos El Gordo in NV/CA. Everything is excellent and tasty and the space is clean and big. The line moves fairly quickly and is worth any wait. The tortillas are handmade and excellent and the meats are cooked well. The salsas really bring everything to the next level! The carne asada fries are also very good. Definitely worth going out of your way for to try these tacos!

This place was highly recommended to me by a coworker for the longest time, but since I'm rarely in this area, I hadn't had a chance to try them out until recently. We arrived about ten minutes before they opened since my appointment in the area finished early and there was already a decent-sized line forming outside. Even though the line was long, it went by pretty fast. After looking over the menu we decided to order two al pastor tacos, two pollo tacos and one carne asada taco, all ordered "con todo". The al pastor tacos were our favorite overall; the flavor was the most diverse with a nice balance of sweet and savory and the meat was tender. The pollo tacos were our second favorite. The chicken was surprisingly tender and not dry. The carne asada was still good but not what I was expecting. Someone had told me they were a bit fatty, but it was actually pretty lean. Service from start to finish was friendly, patient and organized. Overall, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. If you're in the mood for fast casual authentic Mexican food, I highly recommend this place!

Food was amazing. I love the line order process. My cousin brought us here when we were visiting. I wish I had a place like this close by. The space is decent, not crazy big, but not too small either. Definitely got packed as we were in line to order. I'd love to go again if I'm ever in Arizona!

Really excited to try this place, pretty straight forward menu. I asked for recommendations and was told to try the vampiros with pastor. I actually did not love the vampiro as I'm used to a softer shell but they still had good flavor. I thought their normal tacos were delicious! Chicken asada and pastor all were hitting and the guacamole was perfect. Make sure to get their homemade salsa as well, really put the flavor profile over the top.

One of my favorite quick, casual places to grab lunch or dinner from! Every time we go, the staff is always very friendly and welcoming. While the line can be long, don't let it fool you because the service is quick and efficient! The restaurant is also adding a drive thru line, so that should help disperse the line inside of the restaurant. Even with how busy the restaurants can get, I've never had an issue finding a place to sit and eat. They make each item to order in front of you, you get to choose which toppings you want to add. I always order my items "con todo" with onion, cilantro, guacamole/crema, and salsa. This trip I ordered 3 especiales: caramelo (steak), gringa (pork), and gabacho (chicken). Unfortunately, they ran out of chicken, so I subbed for an extra gringa, my favorite of the 3. I also got an order of chips and queso, but be careful because the queso is addicting! They also have a help yourself salsa bar, but the salsas tend to be watery and not very flavorful. The orange one is my favorite, adds a good kick to the food. The pricing is reasonable, especially for the quality of food you get, even when I tend to over order. Overall, I will continue coming to Taco Viva any time I'm in the mood for some yummy tacos!
