I had the fish taco, my son had lengua burrito and my husband had birria. Everything was so good. We ate so quickly the only dish left for me to photograph was the soup. Their salsas were amazing too. As well as horchata, sandia, and pepino and chia. The price was amazing too.

Great place with wonderful food but we were hounded a bit on our way in by a woman asking for help with laundry money. Still, my Chile Relleno Combo was great, and my wife and kids loved their orders also. Staff was super nice and there were lots of tables available. Decor was colorful and cheerful. We liked it, but for the discomfort on the way in. Good food!

Carne Asada Quesadilla

By far my favorite taco spot in all of Arizona. The food is amazing, authentic, and consistently hits every time (my go-to order is the carne asada quesadillas, and they never disappoint). But honestly, what really sets them apart is the service. Every time I come in, Joselin and Fanny make my experience extra wonderful. One of the last times I visited, I was absolutely being the worst and walked in just a couple minutes before closing. Instead of being annoyed (which I probably deserved), they both welcomed me with a smile and were so kind and pleasant. You just don't find that level of care and service anymore. I always know I'm in good hands when I see Joselin. She is a total superstar. You can tell how invested and devoted she is to Taco Sahuaro. She's constantly going above and beyond to make sure every part of the experience feels seamless from the second you walk in to the second you leave. If she's not taking orders and answering questions with a smile, she's wiping down tables, checking in on customers, or communicating with the rest of the staff. She works so hard, and it shows. They've created something really special here. Highly, highly recommend.

Fish tacos
Gretel Y.

I placed a to-go order while in the area one evening. Although parking is limited at the front, there's more available in the back. We were greeted right away upon entering. The interior is surprisingly spacious and offers plenty of seating. I was happy to see them offer non-meat options like fish other than just veggies or beans. I ordered two fish tacos and one cheese quesadilla, both with corn tortillas for myself as well as a steak burrito for my son. Our items were ready within minutes. My fish tacos were okay, and the sauce and salsa it came with enhanced the flavor. However, the cheese quesadilla was bland and also needed sauce or salsa just to have any sort of flavor. My son said his burrito was "good," but he's easy to please. Their tacos appear to be a favorite among Yelpers, so perhaps I just chose the wrong items.

Carne Asada Gordita. Red sauce is lip buzzing good and green sauce is just perfect!
Michael W.

First impression from the outside is to keep driving, BUT DO NOT! This place is cute and clean on the inside. I ordered a carne asada Gordita it was fried to perfection and the ingredients were very fresh. Their bean and cheese burrito was also a delightful well-seasoned choice! Order and pay at the counter and they will bring it to you. Dig a little deeper in your pocket and enjoy their homemade drinks, out of this world!

Horchata
Bailey L.

I've had Tacos Sahuaro on my Yelp bucket list and when I found myself near them recently, while it also being Taco Tuesday, it was a sign! The parking is limited, as they're right off 32nd street, but I was able to snag a spot in front and they do offer parking in the back, so something to keep in mind. They were bumping which is a great sign. Their Taco Tuesday special is .50 cents off at the time of review. They offer ample seating inside. You could definitely dine in easily with small or slightly larger groups. I asked the team member what her favorite was and she recommended the quesadilla with carne asada. I got one of those and tried their breakfast burrito, side of refried beans, pastor tacos and horchata. Overall, it was good not great. The taco was definitely the best of what we had and has great flavor. The breakfast burrito was a bit dry and the quesadilla was good but not stand out. I did love the refried beans they offered a perfect consistency. The horchata left a bit to be desired. The green salsa was delicious, but the red didn't do it for me. We did get it all to go and it was sitting in my car for about 30 minutes on my drive home.It was good and did scratch the itch hir want stand out overall. I would definitely visit them again to eat it fresh and probably stick with their tacos this time around.

Decor

Tacos Sahuaro was a very nice experience. My wife had an asada taco and I had a guche pork belly taco. We both just had water but the juices looked good as well. Bigger space for a taco spot and had good AC friendly staff. Tacos had good flavor and the salsas had a lot of nice flavor as well. Definitely a great taco if you're in the area! Will be back.

Carne Asada Gorditas
Pete M.

Friends, the food here is great!!! Super authentic and fresh. The Gorditas are just like mom's and the the carne asada is super tasty. The carne asada quesadilla is fantastic. The service is super fast and the team here super helpful and friendly!!! A++ rating in my book. The pictures speak for themselves.

Business Hours and Parking in Rear of Building
Shirley S.

Tacos Sahuaro serves up some tasty bona fide Mexican food. When you arrive at the restaurant, you'll find an unassuming little strip mall with limited parking. (More limited parking is available if you pull around the building.) When you walk in, you'll be greeted by the sounds of Mexican folk music and a big dining room large enough to accommodate a couple more tables than already exist. The service is fast and friendly. One employee was quick to take my order and another dropped off a variety of hot sauces at the table without even being asked. You probably won't wait long for food to arrive. If you do, you can pass the time by watching one of their two TVs (only one was working on my visit) or by taking a selfie at a dedicated Selfie Wall. I ordered three tacos; one each of Birria, Asada and Carnitas. (Consommé not included.). All were served hot, though the meats were a little dry. The tortillas were light and fresh. Cucumber, lemon and carrot garnishes were a nice touch. They also offer an extensive selection of drinks. Overall, Taco Sahuaro is a good value. At $3.25 each taco, I think it's worth the price.

Tripas taco (extra crispy) & carne asada taco with a side of refried beans
Jenica E.

Stopped by this place for lunch with a few of our friends. We were welcomed with a warm smile and great smelling food being prepared. We ordered different varieties of tacos from tripas, chorizo, carne asada, and carnitas. All were very flavorful and the tortillas were made fresh. They also had a great flavors of agua Frescas. The mint & cucumber was my go to but also liked the cantaloupe. We actually came back the next day and ordered Togo so we can enjoy it by the pool at our airbnb

Surprisingly spacious "hole-in-the-wall" Mexican offering good eats at humble prices! Tried five different types of tacos - pastor, pescado, carnitas, carne asada, and birria - and while portions are on the smaller side, would happily reorder any and all again. Appreciated the down-home flavors and efficient counter-to-table service, but this place would be even better with the addition of a self-serve salsa bar... (hint hint ;)

Green Avocado salsa?

Not that I've seen but definitely green tomatillo salsa is served on the side of your tacos. They also have a deep, dark, red pepper oil. You may need to ask for it but it's very hot and spicy. You won't be without choices.

Every time I come here it gets more packed, which is both annoying and completely understandable because the food is ridiculously good. The tacos are fantastic, the fries are life-changing, and the hongos fries specifically deserve their own national holiday. This place made the Top 100 food spots in America list, and honestly? Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

That sucks for…read morethe servers because they won't make service tips and they still bring stuff to the tables often. The water is serve yourself and they ran out of both of them. I feel like thats a rubios or mc Donald's vibe. Ceviche should be like $11, $14 wasn't worth it. Vegetable taco should be cheaper than all the tacos and it was just sweet potato inside. The tacos are good but they're not what I was expecting. This is more of a fast food style taco. The whole restaurant reminds me of Rubios. The only things we didn't like were the chips and the rice and beans were not good at all, not even Mexican. But like I said the food is good with nice flavors but for a $5 taco I expected plates and table service. No one wants to stand up to order a marg and then order another one after, they'll prob just order 1 marg and go somewhere else when they're done eating, it's not smart. It's not relaxing to eat here after work. We were all fighting for the tables and it's not a vibe. Not enough inside seats and tons of outdoor seats. I'd totally tell the owner to close up the register area, expand the kitchen, and get the girls to be servers. No one wants to pay full price ceviche and tacos to a restaurant with no table service. The vibe doesn't match the price so I think you should change the vibe to be high end and step up service to match the prices of food. Or match the vibe to a fast food all the way and change some prices. The food is fast so they can easily do a drive thru or walk up and order window. Should be $3 for veggie, $4 for regular taco $5 for loaded or special tacos with expensive The guac matches the vibes! Sold in plastic cups. And $6.50 $4 on happy hour. That explains the vibes of the restaurant perfectly.

It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.
