    Tacos con su salsas.
    Eric V.

    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.

    My charge for 4 asada tacos.

    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.

    Caguamanta

    I got the caguamanta. So good. Really good portion and price. Got cabeza tacos, al pastor and a caguamanta taco this time. Everything was delicious.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Tripa, lengua, carne asada tacos, and a shrimp burrito
    Crystal A.

    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.

    Carne asada tacos and mini carne asada quesadillas
    Kuoc M.

    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.

    Horchata
    VKay T.

    I placed a to go order for some Carne Asada fries, customer service was great both over the phone and in person. I ended up getting a Horchata as well which was very delicious! The fries were super fresh and the meat was savory and moist! Can't wait to come back! Super affordable and quality was not lacking!

    Overall so good! We originally drove over to this area to go to a different place but didn't know…read morethey closed and I'm so happy this was the first suggestion for birria!! I got a birria taco and my hubs got an al pastor quesadilla. We also got a side of rice and horchata. Horchata- creamy and delish (which says a lot because I don't usually care for it) Rice- was good to me but the peas could be left out lol Quesadilla- the meat was flavorful and owned every bite. Tortilla was nice and everything was a perfect ratio Birria- OMG! The flavor was perfect and the cheese. It was so hard not to eat it in one bite lol. I foot to add consume but honestly it didn't need it. I loved the flavor and how tender the meat was I've driven past the Litchfield location and always wanted to try so I am happy we made it into this location! Definitely will have to make my way to that one since it's a little closer to home. Also the seating is ample inside and the girls are nice! Kitchen was quick as well. Even when it was dead to watching alone form, they busted out those orders

    I found this spot tucked away in a Fry's plaza honestly surprising since I've been in the area…read moreplenty of times and never noticed it before. I stopped by on a Saturday night to finally check it out. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the trompo right away, which is always a good sign. I stepped up to the counter and was greeted with a warm smile from the young lady up front. After looking over the menu, I ordered two tacos de tripa and two tacos de suadero. She asked if I wanted the tripas extra crispy I said no. I also asked how they prepare the suadero since I didn't see a choricera, but she wasn't sure. When the food came out, the tripas were a letdown. The texture was off, almost like a stale chip, and they were clearly overcooked. I asked if I could swap them for something safer, so I went with asada instead, but that didn't impress either. It didn't taste very fresh. Now here's the reason you should come to Tacos Chilangos: the suadero. Even though it's not cooked the traditional way, it was absolutely delicious. Perfect meat-to-fat ratio, super flavorful, and easily the standout. The guacamole salsa was top tier. I kept going back to that one over the others. All in all definitely stop by to try the suadero as for as the other two I'd would probably give them a second try.

    Yes, Yes, Yes! Today, my husband said let's try this place…read more I said ok! As we got closer, I realized I've been in the area several times. I have never ate at any of rhe places though. You order at the counter and the food comes out to the table. You can tell this place is family owned. The owners, whom I assumed were there tonight, were lovely people. While we waited, the woman who took our order brought out a basket of chips with refried beans and fresco queso on top with a side of salsa. Woah! What? Epic. But wait! A few minutes later, a precious girl with the most warm inviting, and beautiful smile came out with 2 warm, homemade corn tortillas, with salsa and cheese for us. These were just complimentary extras we didn't expect at all. Soo good. The restaurant is a humble place. Cute, clean, inviting and roomy. There is an inside seating area and an outdoor section. Someone was grilling meat out front. I think, the owner. I ordered a chili relleno combo. It comes with rice, beans, tortillas, and a drink. Hubs ordered two carne asada tacos, and a carne asada sope. I didn't try anything my husband ordered. ( I was laser focused on my meal lol) But it looked really good. He said, you can tell, they make their food with love. Yes, yes, yes, you can. My dish, was the best chili relleno I have had the entire 5 yrs I have been living in AZ. And the beans were phenomenal. Honestly, I prefer eating at places like this. We came for an impromptu date night. I can say it was one of the best meals and date nights I've had in a while. Thank you. Y'all are gonna see me alot. :)

No matter how busy, the wait is never long but your food is made to order. They have an abundant salsa bar and, if you sit outside, an employee is cooking up something on a plancha. We don't know what. We have only ever sat inside or carried our tacos home. Next door there's a modern bakery next door with cakes, bars, cookies and traditional Hispanic treats. We're looking forward to checking it out at some point. Stay tuned!

Good, flavorful, juicy and chunky-cut meat! Glad to have found this spot. They also have good salsas! As for the service, the owners are very nice and welcoming gentlemen. We've been coming here for a few years now and they always greet you like good friends. You can tell they make sure to take care of their customers since every time we come they have more and more people. Very friendly guys. It's a small taco stand so don't expect a big dining room to sit in. Not that many tables available for seating but if you just give it a few minutes, the seats open up fairly quickly. We don't mind waiting for a table and don't mind sitting outdoors for some good tacos from good people.

    So this place only had one review so I took a chance checking it out…read more It was good. But, the gentleman at the stand spoke almost zero English. Even though I know a lot of Spanish I still couldn't even find out what meat options they had for tacos. If you speak Spanish this won't be an issue for you. And it was barely an issue for me since I just went with an age old favorite we both understood... Carne asada. I really wanted a carne adobada or deshebrada but have no idea if they have it. I asked if they had carne adobada but he didn't seem to know what I meant. Second was they forgot my cilantro. Kind of boring without it. Third, the salsa was extra spicy but lacked flavor so it took away from the meat flavor. The salsa Verde is better so I'd recommend that. Pros though! Lots of meat! And the meat itself was great. It's $2 per taco so it's easy on the wallet. I may be back to try a burrito which looks way more satisfying. But if you're looking for a good street taco maybe try another spot. Otherwise not bad. They take credit card and cash but you pay inside the quick Mart, just to give you the low down and save you confusion :p
