Heard some good reviews and always looking for a taco place. We ordered four Carne Asada tacos two pastor a torta and a carne asada quesadilla. I should've grab onion and cilantro that we're at the salsa bar overall it wasn't bad. I did enjoy the salsa to go with the tacos. The quesadillas was really good and my husband enjoyed his torta. Service was friendly very patient as I tried to order quite a bit. Not too loud nor too quiet just right on sound level. Food came out pretty fast read more

First time here, there is a covered patio area outside with tables and inside is a little small has about 7-8 tables. I ordered carne asada, pastor, chicharron, lengua, and tripa tacos, my husband ordered the menudo and my son a quesadilla. I personally didn't care for the lengua taco or the tripa taco so I gave those to my husband, he said they were ok. I liked the pastor it has a really good flavor. My favorite was the chicharron. The prices are good, and the girl and the counter was nice. I also had the champurrado and it was good. I'd come back. read more

Literally the BEST tacos in town now I may be bias cause they are only 2 mins up the street from me but I get these at least once a week and I'm still obsessed, amazing salsa bar 10/10 read more

I was craving tacos and I'm glad I came here due to the reviews. Customer service is great. They smile and help you answer any questions. Even the workers in the background smile at you. Tacos are filled with meat they are very tasty. Authentic street tacos. The consumé tasted great as well. When my order was ready I didn't even have to get up. (My order was to go & had a number). The person in the front handed me it at the table I was waiting at. The area where you can get your sides is also very clean. Best taco place in the area. read more

Tacos here are really good. The setting gives me that back home, small town in Mexico vibe. Plenty of parking here, staff is friendly & really good Taco Tuesday specials. A good local grub spot recommendation IMHO. read more

The prices used to be good but they keep going up. I remember when 4 asada tacos were $8.65 out the door two years back. Then it became $10.40, then $11.60 and now I just paid $13.06. The tacos are good but rather small so it's no longer compelling. Update: If the asada tacos are $2.50 and I get 4 of them then the total price should be about $10.90 with tax. I was just in there on Fri and was charged $13.06. Something isn't adding up. Looks like you're overcharging customers on credit card payments. read more

Always on the search for good tacos! Tacos el yiyo did not disappoint. The location is a good decent size, with indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service was great, friendly and fast. They have daily specials which is always a plus, specially on Tuesday $1 tacos! You can't beat that. I ordered asada, al pastor tacos and quesibirrias. They were friendly with the meat on the tacos and had double tortillas. The meat had good taste, the al pastor is one of the best ones I've tried so far. The quesibirrias were also really good! They have a salsa bar, their red sauce was so spicy! But the guac sauce was good too! Will be coming back! read more

My wife and I have eaten here a number of times the past few months. We found our favorite Carne Asada fries. Today however, the fries were cold in the middle. We mentioned something and were offered another order of carne asada fries. While the replacement order was not cold, the fries were soggy and mushy, not what we expect from carne asada fries. I'm hoping this was an out of character one time thing, we'll give it a try again since aside from today, the carne asada fries have never disappointed, However, if we end up with a similar experience we'll definitely have to look for a different place. read more

This place has some of the best quesobirria tacos in the west valley. Their staple carne asada tacos and trips tacos are also winners. The menudo is very flavorful and taste fresh made. There is a salsa bar with real guacamole- for FREE. If you stop by also try their hand made tres leches cakes! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Upon arrival we were greeted with a friendly voice. The man at the counter asked if we had been before. We told him it was our first time. He began to share what his favorites are as well as the most ordered items. We placed our order of various tacos and Aguas fresca. He brought each dish out to our table and pointed out the salsa bar. It was filled with various salsas and veggie toppings. We were a party of 4 and we were all very pleased with the food and service. They also have various flavored cakes which are also very good. read more

Everyone always loves carne asada. But at this joint, treat yourself to the Al pastor street tacos. It's a show stopper. Some authentic Spanish speaking restaurants aren't particularly friendly to Gringos, but this one definitely is. Be respectful that they don't have stupid cheeseburgers and chicken strips. If you want that go to a burger chain. But if you are kind and understand it's an AUTHENTIC Carbon style taco spot that takes a few minutes to grill and griddle your food, they will speak English to you all day long and the tacos are the best in Avondale read more

I like to eat authentic Mexican and this Food is on another level tacos and chili especially the fish.

Just tried this place with the fam yesterday and we loved it! My sister in law recommended it, they have great street style tacos, they have a nice large area outside with lights and an old school juke box. We didn't sit outside as it's summer in AZ but the inside was nice and cool, Mexican decor sarapes curtains, Spanish news, felt right at home (lol) the young man at the counter was very friendly, attended us right away, my daughter ordered a plain chicken burrito with rice and beans, the other quesabirria, I also ordered quesabirrias, my husband got a mix of carne asada tacos, pastor and birria. The quesabirrias were deceiving as you think two might not fill you up, but with the cheese and meat they are filling! They were delicious! They also give you a generous amount of consomé. My daughter literally drank hers after dunking her tacos. Everyone had horchata, I didn't try it but the fam said it was great. We ended up ordering extra food to go because this place is 30 mins away from home, we also had dessert to go, chocoflan, tres leches, and red velvet, I tried the red velvet and honestly I didn't have high hopes for the dessert thinking maybe it sits there in the fridge for a few days without being purchased and I was pleasantly surprised the cake was fresh and moist, the frosting wasn't overly sweet, it was really, really delicious. I was surprised. I really want to try their sopes and tacos dorados so we'll definitely be back. Customer service is great, once again the young man was very attentive, asking us if we needed anything else, also accommodated me with my little ones plate where he only wanted rice beans, and a quesadilla and this wasn't necessarily on the menu. We were served promptly and he thanked us before we left, I know this doesn't seem like a big deal to some but I've worked in cs for 15 years and I notice. read more

I'm always excited to try a new taco place especially when it's an authentic taqueria. This place had the look and the aroma but unfortunately the taste was just not there. This place makes you feel like you are sitting at a taqueria in Mexico. First, there was a sink outside for hand washing, then, there was the guy grilling shooing away a poor hungry cat. A different cat was chasing down two stray dogs in the parking lot. To top it off, We had to eat outside because the dining area was full. Normally this would be fine except, we spent all out time shooing away flies instead of enjoying our food. Food itself was ok. Carne asada and horchata lacked flavor but I thought the lengua tacos and shrimp burrito were good. The tripa tacos were very disappointing, they were underdone and chewy and tasted like they weren't properly cleaned out. Overall I probably would not return which is a bummer because I really wanted to like this place. read more

The only thing on the menu I get is the tacos. BOMB!!! The smell coming off the grill when I walk in sends me into a euphoric state of mind. I'm a foodie and I love to try different spots and this spot is on my weekly stops. Serg is my guy and is always courteous and friendly and knows my name and order when I call. read more

The staff here is really nice. I thought the food was pretty good. I highly recommend the carne asada tacos and the quesadillas. The restaurant is really clean but there was a lot of flies outside. If you want to go the more authentic Mexican route, this is a great place for that. read more

First time eating here and never again. The food was okay, nothing great. Very bad service. How are you going to keep going back and forth with a customer about a taco that we paid for but didn't get? Our order was about $50 it's not like we were trying to get free food but the fact she insisted she brought it out like girl it's a taco, I wouldn't be asking for it just because. I still purchased a pastry when I had went up to ask about the taco de cabeza and she hands me the taco after that. Once I go back to our table she goes for the taco saying that wasn't the one and she gives it to another table. Lol Just very bad service. I get people make mistakes and it would've been okay if they just remade the taco they missed in the first place but no the fact that the girl wanted to keep going back and forth about it then still never bring it out. read more

Was driving down MC85 and saw the smoke from the giant grill out front. I did a quick U-turn and was glad I did. I had the Carne Asada tacos and they were delicious and generous with the meat. Meat had a delicious flavor of being cooked on Mesquite charcoal which was confirmed by the large stack of mesquite bags by the grill. I will definitely be back to try more menu items. read more

Edit: I did it again, two days in a row. The photo wont do it justice but my god im glad this place is less than a mile from where I live. A blessing to my soul. Call me fat call the cops, I don't care. Original Review: This place hasn't been corrupted by greed yet. It is absolute fire. Carne Asada and Adobada are outstanding and on point. The salsa's/toppings are amazing and flavorful as well as pre-packaged so you don't have to waste time doing it all yourself (huge plus for me, as I don't want to do a bunch of work to eat my tacos). I'm going back tomorrow because it was that good and maybe even the day after who knows? read more

Just down the street from me, pass by them all the time and meant to stop in. Finally did and found the place to be rather surprising. The outdoor grill certainly draws in. Food is quite good, had the beef and chicken tacos (no cilantro please) and with some good hot salsa, I was happy. Good place to stop by for a quick lunch. Recommend read more

I've eaten here three times (twice I picked up Al pastor and asada tacos for $1.50 on Thursday nights from 6 to 8 pm). This is one of my top three Mexican food places for carne asada. Fantastic flavor, not just "meat". I ordered refried beans on the side to go (they call them "smashed beans" as their English can be somewhat limited depending on the employee. Great beans, possibly the best I've had, but certainly great. They are the "heavier" type with some smoky wonderfulness to them. I love this place (as do a lot of others -- particularly take out) read more

Probably some of the worst tacos I've ever had. Whomever gave this a 5 star has ZERO idea what good tacos are. Dry chewy asada, dry alpastor and the tripas were like gum. You can tell nothing was fresh on a Taco Tuesday to boot. read more

Service is decent , you just order and usually they bring the order to your table or call you. Wish the salsa bar was covered, people are the problem. Nice choice of salsas and toppings. As far as ambiance, well it's a typical hole in the wall. I was told the chicharon tacos were great so I ordered a couple , taco Tuesdays the time to try them, they were awful, tiny bits way over fried, so it was like eating dirt. I told the lady and she just said, " oh yeah?" Obviosly not caring if I come back , that was about my fourth time going, and I won't frequent this place much. The asada tacos are good and pastor but they really chop the meat into tiny bits. The rice is good, beans are good but typical, make them runny jn the blender to make then go a long way. For me it's just ok for Tuesday once in a while if in the area, nothing to write home about. Aguas are good, buy the ones that are fuller or you get watered down. read more

I come here for the taco Tuesday special. Bomb. Worth the drive. If you are inpatient you can always call ahead.

This place is legit. They've got the goods. I'm talkin' lengua. I'm talkin' cabeza. I'm talkin' chicharrones. To be honest, these were probably the best chicarrones I've ever had- they had just a nice little crisp and a firm meatiness that I couldn't get enough of. It's a really nice little taco spot, and you should absolutely come here and get some tacos. And don't be afraid to try something that you've never had before- you'll probably love it! read more

A Hidden Gem If you are in the area, you have to stop by Tacos EL Yiyo . On this visit we had the Pastor, Carnitas, and Carne Asada Tacos, and all were delicious. The Carnitas were exceptional, probably some of the best Carnita tacos I've had in a while. The meat is juicy, flavorful and dripping with jus and these tacos are packed with meat, no skimping at this place. You could easily demolish a whole plate of these tacos without much effort. I can't wait to go back and try other items from the menu. The prices are wallet friendly, the staff are accomdating, and the food is great. If you're in the area you have to try this place, you won't be disappointed read more

Very very very very good!!! I love Mexican food and authentic Mexican food is even better! Service is great as well. I wish we had one in Surprise, AZ! I'm so glad we found this place on Yelp and gave it try! It did not disappoint. The pollo tacos, carnitas, birria, and quesadillas are bomb.com!!! The meat is super moist and juicy, very tender, seasoned well and perfect portions. I think they give you a lot! The different salsa options are cool! There is a really hot one I learned the hard way! Anyway, when you get a chance.. hit up the yiyo for some tacos or whatever you need to hit the spot! read more
