    Came in today for lunch 6/14/26 for the first time! There are meter parkings right outside the restaurant. The place is spacious for a downtown phoenix restaurant, also very clean. The staff were really friendly and they kept checking on me while I dined, which is very nice for a taco place. I got 1 carne asada (beef) taco, 1 adobada (pork taco), consome (beef soup), 2 Birria tacos, 1 quesabirria. All were delicious! All the meat were flavorful and juicy. I love the consome. It's nice they have consome by itself or with the Birria meat in it. The tacos came with the grilled onion and grilled pepper, which was so good! All the sides are free and unlimited and self serve: different types of salsa, lime, onion, cilantro, cucumber, guac, etc. all the sauces were yummy! One of them was more roasted, one was spicy, and the other one was green chile sauce. FYI: I asked for a cup of water, and they gave me a cold water bottle and charged $0.50 , so I didn't know they charged for water. I will definitely be back to try more!

    I just tried this place not too long ago and I have already become a regular here. I was very impressed by their quality of food and drinks. Their tacos are some of the best tacos I've ever had! Please try them, and thank me later. You'll become a regular too! ;) the service is kind and friendly. The place is little but the service is so fast that the size of the place doesn't even matter and once you get your food it matters even less. Game days the ambiance is just right for a pregame meal and drinks!

    Amazing service. You order at the counter, and the staff is very helpful with the menu. They offer great recommendations. Came here with a couple coworkers for lunch and all of our food came out quickly. Toppings bar to customize everything to your liking. The salsas and guacamole are very fresh. The adobo pork was my favorite! The cabeza was also amazing and juicy. Jamaica drink is sweet but refreshing. Casual spot.

    Carne Asada Vampiro and a birria taco.
    Viviana A.

    First time trying this spot! I was actually pulled in after watching a few TikTok videos that made it look so good, so I had to come check it out for myself. I'm going to be honest with my review, but with respect. I'm a small-town girl who lives close to the border, so I'm used to enjoying authentic carne asada and birria across the border -- that definitely influences my taste. On this visit, I ordered a carne asada vampiro, a birria taco, and an horchata. The birria, in my opinion, lacked a bit of flavor and could have used more seasoning. The salsa also needed a little more garlic for my liking. That said, the food was still good -- quita el antojo for sure! The horchata was on point -- very refreshing and delicious. The restaurant itself was very clean and offered both indoor and outdoor seating, which we loved. We didn't really interact much with the staff other than at the register and when picking up our food. Overall, a good experience!

    Quesa birria tacos
    Priya K.

    This places serves the best quesa birria tacos!! Perfect spot to devour some tacos before the diamondbacks or suns game. It's walking distance from both stadiums. I love their salsa bar that has a variety of fresh salsa from mild to super spicy! Service is efficient and ambiance is great.

    Carne asada taco, chicharron taco and adobada vampiro
    Nyah R.

    Really good tacos! I had the carne asada taco, the chicharrón taco, and the adobada vampiro. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The service was great, and the atmosphere made for a nice experience. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

    Juicy tacos

    We stopped by this taco spot before a Diamondbacks game, and it ended up being the perfect choice. The location is incredibly convenient, literally just a short walk across the street from the stadium. so we grabbed some tacos, enjoyed a great meal, and headed right back to the game. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. They offered helpful suggestions and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. The salsa macha was a standout for me!! so much flavor!! and the guacamole was fresh and delicious. I also loved that they offer yellow corn tortillas, which made the tacos even better. Overall, great food, great people, and an unbeatable location. I'd definitely come back!

    I completely understand why this has a 4.9 rating on Google and I will come back here every single time I am downtown. This was delicious and I would've eaten everything on the whole menu. I grabbed the queso Birria Taco as well as the quesadilla. The service was incredible and fast. The salsa station has an enormous amount of guacamole and extras for you to dress your tacos. I was there at the start of a basketball game, but I'm sure it gets crazy busy after.

    flour tacos- 3 adobo pork and 3 veggie (cooked jalapeño)
    Annika O.

    We weren't planning to eat but the smell alone was too good to walk by without stopping. Menu is very limited, they technically have no veggie options but they said I could order whatever without the meat and provided a recommendation. I took their advice. My husband got the pork tacos. They have a top your own taco bar with many topping options. I topped mine with cabbage, onions, green salsa, guacamole and cucumber. I loved my tacos! So delicious and flavorful. Beans were nice. My husband liked his but said the meat was lacking in flavor. He wished there was more salt and seasoning. Ambiance was nice, I liked the music and plenty of seating- both indoor and outdoor. Bathrooms were very clean too which I appreciate. There is also a bar inside, although we didn't get any drinks, it's a nice touch. Finally, $31 for 6 tacos and a soda isn't too bad! I appreciate how wallet friendly this meal was. I would come again!

    Taco dorado de birria
    Nicole C.

    WOW I'm still thinking about these tacos because they were AWESOME. Ate here before a concert at the Suns Arena as it was walking distance. Tried the adobado, carne asada, and tacos dorados with birria. Our plates were CLEARED. Tacos were flavorful and with a hefty amount of meat for good price, also an unlimited salsa bar. It's located across from Chase Field. Place is clean and has nice bathrooms. Great service.

    Birria burrito with salsa, limes, radishes, cucumbers, and FREE GUACAMOLE
    Brennan T.

    Awesome food! Friendly service! And free guacamole in the salsa bar! A friend and I are in downtown Phoenix for a conference and needed to grab lunch. Tacos Los Vales is a short walk from our hotel, and I'm so glad we visited this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by how great the service was. It's a counter restaurant, but a worker came by to clear our dishes. We both ordered birria burritos, which were amazing! Lots of meat and cheese. Good flavors, and I like that the burritos were grilled. The salsa bar has pico de gallo, red, green, cucumbers, limes, radishes, and a huge bowl of guac. I'd go back just for the unlimited guac! Lots of tables for families and groups! The environment is chill and casual.

    Birria tacos
    Mia M.

    Cheap, delicious tacos with an extensive serve yourself topping bar. Got two birria tacos and a huge lemonade (I swear it was a liter!) for ~$11, and it was way more filling than I was expecting. They had plenty of seating and a few other people eating. I would absolutely come back here!

    Exceptional food, atmosphere & esp. service! Alejandra & chefs go above & beyond to deliver tasty food & drinks made with love & pride. Very affordable & authentic mexican cuisine. You'll get addicted!

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!

    We love Taco Viva so much that I'm doubling down on my first review. Best tacos in Phoenix!…read more There are a lot of creative and delicious tacos in the valley. Some of them are from joints that don't qualify as a Mexican Restaurant. Given the choice, I will always choose the simple, authentic, flavorful tacos from Taco Viva! Gracias!

In the mornings it's bread and honey and at 3 it turns to Paco's. We arrived at 2:30 and decided to wait . While we waited the young lady was nice enough to give us crepes on the house.

The birria taco is supposed to be crunchy and it was soggy. It just was pretty mediocre tasting and I really wanted to like it.

Greedy kids also split one of my Sope's seeing how I hyped it up... and left crumbs!!! Salsa bar is located in the corner and labeled so you don't go blazin hot unexpectedly with a salsa. For the adults, we decided to go with the Asada Fries for the group to share, the Mulitas with Carne Asada, Steet taco combo with rice & beans, horchata's and of course a Margarita (or 2) It was a bit to hot for the patio our front that evening, and they do have a another one out back. The only downside was that that bathroom was down for the night so we didn't hang out for a round 2.

    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.

    So my husband said these are the best tacos he has had and his favorite of any we have had in…read morePhoenix. I felt different. First of all, eating anywhere in Tempe, starts with a frustrating time.... Trying to find parking and having to pay to park. I don't understand why restaurants don't have parking for customers. Idk maybe I don't know where to look. Second, it's hot AF in here. I feel sorry for the guys cooking. It's 105 today and the restaurant is so small, it's probably impossible to keep cool during the summer. Finally, the food. It all tastes very fresh! NO SEED OILS is amazing. I feel like I have won something when I find a restaurant that uses olive oil and beef tallow to cook in. Best corn tortillas I have had for sure. We basically tried one of each taco. (Although some of the tacos we ordered were wrong, so we just kept adding) not a big deal, because they were delicious and we loved them. I felt like the carne was chewy but my husband loves chewier meat. The taco with the marlin was my favorite. And the one that came out kind of like a cheese crisp. It's loud in here and again the space is very small. They do not serve wine at all. But yummy margaritas! The bartender is working solo and working hard! She busted her butt and did an amazing job. And smiled the entire time. She was awesome
