    Birria tacos with consume
    Jackie T.

    Some of the best birria tacos I've had in town! Consume is great, meat is tender, flavor is perfect. It was around $16 for 3 tacos with consume and to add rice and beans it was an additional $8 so I just got the tacos.

    Tacos asada, tripas, lengua & Al pastor
    Jimmy S.

    Great late night spot for tacos. Service is very chill and the tacos are great. The tripas was fried well and flavor was good. The Al pastor also had that nice char. My friends got lengua and loved the soft texture that wasn't too chewy.

    Was a little worried at first due to the area, but the food and service were phenomenal! I got the tacos pastor and they were priced fairly well! They have $2 taco Tuesday! Another cool thing is the pastries they have, and in all honesty, they all looked really good!! If you are using your card to pay instead of cash there is a fee of about $2.

    Not only was the food mid. They do not charge the price advertised on their menu. When asked about the difference in price the manger told us "I'm not in charge of the prices put it". We weren't even asking for a refund since it's a small business we just wanted an explanation and to bring it to their attention. But the manager was dismissive and rude. Stealing from customers is disappointing.

    Came to this casual spot during a work trip for a quick dinner, and it didn't disappoint. You order at the counter, and they cook up your tacos so quick! I'd recommend the Al pastor and asada tacos with all the fixings! I only wish they had a spicier tacos because I love my spices!

    After deciding on where to head for lunch, I'm so happy we came here, to Tacos Huicho. Situated on the freeway frontage road, you'll find this hidden gem. Upon entry, you'll first find a pastry case with a wide selection of freshly made pan dulce which is all self serve. The gentleman at the ordering counter was very friendly & pleasant! The menu offers a huge variety of authentic dishes such as menudo, tamales, Gorditas even birria estilo Jalisco! Note that pozole, menudo & birria are served on weekends only. We opted for tacos de asada, Gordita de asada & birria. The birria was EXCELLENT. I only know of one other local place that serves this type of birria dish and it was as authentic as can be. Served soup style in a bowl, the broth was flavorful, spicy and very tender meat. Served with corn tortillas, make for excellent dippers into the broth. The Gordita was also excellent, and very generously portioned. Smothered with refried beans & topped with lettuce, tomato & queso fresco, this is a must try! Everything was excellent and I keep asking myself how I didn't know of this place sooner. The inside has a fair amount of tables, but beware it gets PACKED, so plan with time. I'll be back!!

    Tacos Huicho was a very good experience. What you want in a taco shop. No frills just good grub. I had the Al pastor taco which was one of my favorite street tacos I've had, the sweet pineapple chunks with the savory pork is exquisite. Also had the best hot salsa with some real growing heat behind it. My wife had an asada taco she really enjoyed with the guacamole salsa. Single bathroom and $1.50 feet if you want to pay with card so I'd advise cash. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Definitely would be back my favorite taco in Phoenix thus far.

    Tongue tacos tamale and the rice and beans
    Ave R.

    Good spot for late night taco run! They're open until midnight which is super cool! Between my boys and I we had 2 tongue tacos, 3 al pastor tacos, a tamal and rice and beans. The rice and beans were not it. Idk why not everyone can get the rice good it looks more like crumbs vs actual rice ? It's weird but I went for the tacos and they did not disappoint. The tongue was PERFECT, Al pastor too! The red salsa was SPICY which I loved! The tamal was ok too. The masa had good flavor. I also had the agua de piña which is pineapple water. It tasted powder bag mix and sweet which is lame because I love pineapple. The service was ok? The counter girl seemed passive aggressive like she was annoyed of my questions. I asked what the difference between "harina" tacos and "corn" tacos were and she said ones flour and ones corn and gave me a dumb look. I had asked her if the "harina" tacos were just handmade tortilla and she said she didn't know? Anyways she took my order and that the last interaction I had with anyone. But the tacos were great I will def go back for those.

    Torta Carne Asada

    Torta Carne Asada was on point. It has melted cheese on the toasted bun with avocado, tomatoes, and hot sauce. The pineapple Agua Fresca is great.

We started out with an off menu appetizer consisting of healthy sized octopus tentacles served with potatoes in a delicious sauce. Everything was tender and delicious.

I was happy about the little purse hooks on the table (iykyk). The outside area, not so much. It's on the corner of a strip mall, there was some etched graffiti on the outside windows, which made you aware of the area you were in. (That's the reason for the 1 star deduction.) The place is very small! So yes, you WILL want to make a reservation. We went around 3:30 on a Friday and I would say 3/4 of the tables had reserved signs on them starting at 5pm on up. The receptionist was constantly back and forth looking at them and moving them around to make space for walk-ins. I would skip bringing your kids here. I didn't use the restroom so idk if that was nice or not. The food was fantastic! And the portions were big. The price matched the portions and quality in our opinion. It's hard to find quality food that's worth the cost lately. We enjoyed the chips and salsa. And hubby ordered a Mexican coke, and the server brought him a frosty glass for it. Everyone around us looked like they were enjoying their food. Our server was great. He chatted with us for a while when we told him about seeing the place on IG. He was grateful for the customers. But admitted, it's caused an influx of people and the 'regulars' have become annoyed. Which is understandable. We'd definitely come back if we're in the area but probably not drive that far out of our way again.

There's something so cozy and welcoming about this spot that makes it feel familiar every time we walk through the door. One of my favorite things to order here is the chilaquiles. I usually switch up the meat depending on what I'm craving, and this visit I went with chorizo. The tortilla chips have that perfect balance of crisp edges and just enough sauce to soften them without turning soggy. The chorizo adds a savory, slightly smoky richness, while the toppings bring everything together with fresh, bright flavors. It's the kind of breakfast where every bite has a little crunch, a little spice, and plenty of flavor. I also love ordering a fresh orange juice alongside my coffee--it's become part of my usual routine here. There's something about fresh OJ with a comforting plate of chilaquiles that just makes breakfast feel extra special. The service has consistently been wonderful, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable without feeling overly formal. After all these years, Presidio Cocina Mexicana remains one of those spots I genuinely enjoy returning to. Good food, great service, and that cozy neighborhood feel that keeps you coming back.

    I think I just found my new favorite Mexican restaurant!…read more The ambience here is charming. It's located in what looks like an old house, painted on the outside in a dark red paint. There are roses hanging from the ceiling, exposed brick, and colored lighting (would you notice more as the sun goes down). The wood ceilings really make this place special. There is a small bar in the corner. Don't forget to look up because there is a little door above with the guardian angel and children painted on it, and a couple of stained glass windows. From the minute we walked in, we were meeting with smiling faces. When you first walk in, you are inside the kitchen or at least right next to it. We started with a couple of drinks - a Corona and a Diablito, a sotol cocktail with lots of pureed mango. A basket of chips and a bowl of Green dip or brought to the table, and we were directed to the salsa bar back near the entrance. The salsa bar is fantastic, with several different kinds of salsa. We grabbed what tasted like a creamy tomatillo salsa, a pineapple salsa, a pico de gallo, and a creamy Serrano salsa. They were all so good that we couldn't say which was our favorite. I know that pineapple salsa just sent me over the moon! For an entree, hubby ordered a Sonoran burrito. He said the burrito was delicious, and kept pointing out how good the guacamole and side was. It wasn't especially big or small. I ordered the fajitas (steak and chicken combo) and the minute they came to the table sizzling, both my husband and I were surprised at how large this portion was. It was served with tortillas (you get your choice of corn or flour), black beans, and rice. The black beans were good - - I suppose they just tasted like black beans. I was surprised at how delicious the rice was because it's white and I expected it just to taste like white rice. But there was a creaminess to it and a flavor that I couldn't put my finger on but that I know was really yummy (butter, maybe? Cheese, maybe?? Idk). Good meat in my fajitas was super tender and the veggies were grilled just right. This was a really common really delicious meal. This place had been on my list for a long time and now that I finally been here, I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. The food was fantastic, the prices super reasonable, and it's set in a cozy, romantic setting. This place is going to be on a regular rotation for us!

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.
