    Chicken burrito
    Raj G.

    Amazing food. The salsa bar is the best I've seen anywhere! Super spicy red sauce, creamy guac sauce, and fresh onions and cilantro. Burrito was kind of small, but for under $10 it's decent. Very tasty and fresh.

    Pollo Tacos on flour tortillas

    Hands-down best street tacos in town! My favorite is the chicken, but all the rest are pretty darn good except for nopales (cactus). I'm not saying it's bad; I just don't like them. I love the free sinus clean out thanks to the very hot salsa! And, you can't beat the free guacamole and other delicious condiments! They serve them fast, it's a very casual environment.

    The food is really good with limited options but all of them are great. The service was good food came quick and the tables and floors were clean. There is a lot to like with the good food and the salsa bar. I will say the very hot salsa labeled is really hot to let you know. Over all it's a good restaurant to recommend.

    Asada tacos were delicious

    My favorite taco spot while I was living in Arizona for about 2 years! It was my go-to place since it was super close to my work and I would go at least 3-4 times/months. My favorites were the asada tacos and quesadilla. It was around $3/taco and $8 for a quesadilla. I loved their horchata, it tasted very delicious and not overly sweet. I loved their sauce/topping bar because there are so many unlimited toppings (cilantro, onions, lemons, 3 different kinds of salsa, pico de Gallo). There is usually a line if you go around noon but it moves super fast. The staff is pretty friendly and welcoming. The tacos and asada are freshly made to order and always tastes delicious! It is very clean and spacious with plenty of seating! Parking is super easy and plenty of space.. definitely recommend this spot!

    Burrito Cabeza Nopales, cabeza, Carne Asada tacos Pollo quesadilla

    Coming to Tacos Calafia made for a perfect post workout brunch. My hubby had the cabeza burrito, while I ordered the nopales, cabeza, and carne asada street tacos on flour tortillas. He and I shared the quesadilla and added pollo to it. There are three salsas today, medium spice red and green salsas and a decently hot red super spicy salsa. They also offered guacamole, chopped white onions and cilantro and limes to enhance the already delicious flavors of all the foods. I ordered a Michelada, which was bigger than I thought it would be! It felt very refreshing along with the tacos. I ordered mine with Dos Equis beer. I like having such a great taco place nearby. They offer and awesome happy hour with 2 for one margaritas and there are also family meals you can take out if you can't eat there.

    Visited Arizona for a few days and this is the best tacos place that we've found! We actually even came here twice. The meats are really well prepared - the cabeza melts in your mouth. Also had cactus for the first time - it tastes like a vegetable. The best part is that you can self-serve onions, cilantro, guacamole, salsa etc. Very worth it!

I loved the Tipsy Chick taco -- marinated and grilled chicken, spinach, grilled corn relish, green chiles, mixed cheese with chipotle sauce on a flour tortilla with a side of bacon bourbon marmalade. That marmalade -- wow. Guy Fieri would put it on a flip-flop and eat it. Friendly employees, quick to offer assistance finding stuff, using the ordering kiosk, etc. Dining area, tables were clean. Ambient music not too loud to inhibit conversation. (Although it can get noisy when it's a full house.) My only reservation is using an ordering kiosk the first time. It's pretty user friendly and includes options to customers your menu item. Only hitch is the "X" to exit a drill down into an item is small and black and situated clear up in the upper right corner. Please get the engineers to make it more noticeable, Torchy's, and the residents of Sun City West will thank you.

    Shrimp, shrimp, shrimps!…read more This is a standalone food truck in a huge parking lot. Nothing fancy and doesn't look like much. But their shrimp tacos are yummy! I got 2 special shrimp tacos. The shrimp is a tad more done than my preference but it was amazing. My husband and son tried one of each on the menu. And their favorite, special shrimp tacos! Even though it is in a parking lot. They do provide clean bathroom that is located inside a big empty building. We were there after sunset so It was a long walk in the dark before I reach the bathroom. I suggest going in groups of 2, just to be cautious.

    While their tacos are great and tasty, it is wild to charge for salsa. I ordered 6 tacos and I was…read moregiven 4 small containers with salsa. I asked for 1 yes one more and dude says to me it is extra. How many do you want? I walked away. Their logic doesn't make sense. If I were to sit down to eat the tacos there i can squeeze as much salsa as I please BUT if I ask for them to go I only get small tiny salsa containers? I'm definitely NOT coming back. I'm not giving a business my hard earned money if they want to charge me for salsa. UPDATE REPLYING TO OWNER: Are you monitoring customers that eat in your establishment? Do you let them know to only squeeze once to add salsa to their tacos? Every single table has a bottle of green salsa and red salsa. I am a long time EM resident and I have my business to Baja Tacos from the beginning. I will take my business elsewhere else.

I tried the fish and carnitas specials. The tacos are impressive--large, double-lined soft shells that are generously filled. The fish was fresh and crispy, and the carnitas was delicious. You might pay a little more here than at other local spots, but the size and quality of the tacos make it a better value. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is the lack of a salsa bar. For dine-in, they provide house-made red and green salsas in squeeze bottles. They both had a nice, moderate heat, but I really missed having a selection of fresh onions, radishes, and cucumbers to garnish the tacos. Highly recommended for the quality of the meat and the cleanliness of the shop. I will definitely be back!
