Tacos Tijuana is my absolute favorite local taco shop! It's easily one of the best taco spots in…read morethe area and genuinely holds up when compared to authentic tacos I've had in Tijuana. The quality really stands out--especially the homemade tortillas, which take everything to the next level. The al pastor and carne asada are both incredible, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I also love that the al pastor is cooked authentically on a spit, which really adds to the flavor and experience. There's also a great variety of options on the menu, so there's something for everyone. Service is consistently quick, even when it's busy, which makes it a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick meal or sitting down to enjoy your food. Their Taco Tuesday deal is also a huge win--great value without sacrificing quality, and it keeps us coming back regularly. And the salsa deserves its own shoutout--absolutely incredible! It's packed with flavor and honestly good enough that you could enjoy it on its own. It really takes everything to the next level. If you're looking for authentic-style tacos with great flavor, fresh ingredients, fast service, and awesome specials, Tacos Tijuana is a must-visit. Easily one of my top spots in the area!

I was looking for a Taco Tuesday special to go. I passed by this restaurant a few times and decided…read moreto try it. No waiting, it was empty. Staff was professional and fast. 4 tacos $11.06 included a 20% discount. No rice. No beans. But those limes really added to the flavor. I stretched it to feed 2 peeps. It was good and convenient. Fit what I needed at the moment, but probably won't be back.

The restaurant is clean, the seating area is comfortable, and they have an extensive menu with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. There are so many choices that it's going to take several visits to try everything! My mom ordered the chicken enchiladas, and she absolutely loved them. The portion of chicken was generous, and the enchiladas had the perfect level of spice--not too mild and not overpowering. I had the birria quesadilla tacos, and they were absolutely stunning! Honestly, they are easily in my top two birria tacos I've ever had. The flavor was incredible, and I'm already looking forward to having them again. My son had two beef tacos, which he enjoyed as well.The menu is huge, and there are so many things I want to try on our next visit. I cannot wait to come back for the birria pizza! The food, portions, cleanliness, and especially the customer service were all excellent. I'm honestly surprised this place isn't busier because it deserves to be! If you're in Mesa and looking for great Mexican food with plenty of options, Tacos y Huaraches El Gordo is definitely worth checking out.

Craving tacos and scrolling through DoorDash, we noticed Taco Spot was offering some BOGO deals, so…read morewe decided to take advantage of the promotion and try somewhere new. We ordered the #1 Birria Tacos with consommé and a fountain drink, along with the chicken burritos since they were on sale too. Overall, the flavors were good. The spicy red and green sauces that came with the burritos really elevated them, although the chicken itself was a bit dry. The red sauce has a nice kick that leaves a slight tingle on your lips without being overwhelming. The birria tacos were the highlight. The rich consommé and melted cheese complemented the tacos well and made for a satisfying bite. Overall, it was a good meal, but without the sauces, the chicken lacked a bit of moisture and flavor. Even so, it definitely hit the spot and satisfied our taco craving. We'd order again--especially if another BOGO deal comes around.

The tacos were delicious. The taste is great! Comes with the Birria meat, onions,cheese and cilantro. It also comes with the consume sauce. I got the horchata for my drink and I thought it was great! The only downside is that this place is not cheap. The Birria taco combo was $17 each. If you come on Monday then it's $3 off. There's a different special each day. The food came pretty quick but we were there for a late lunch (after 1pm) so it was empty when we arrived. Other reviews said the tacos were small or didn't have enough meat, but I thought they were fine. I will probably be back again because I like Birria tacos.

Got the carne asada burrito and it was as big as my arm and my stomach was full until the next day dinner. The burrito and carne asada was really good. I tried the beans out and they were good too. Just a tiny bit watery for my style but no real complaints. Staff was really nice and helpful. The place is close to a liquor store and we saw a drunk person walking from his car to the liquor store so be careful of drunk drivers in the area.

Now, he proposed that I order from Chipotle instead since they fail to give customer what one paid for.

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.
