    Quesadilla and birria tacos
    Preston P.

    The food is fantastic! I've been here plenty of times and never been disappointed. My go to is the nachos with carne asada and al pastor. The birria tacos are also a family favorite. Big enough portions for the nachos and fries to share. They even have a spot off to the side of the truck to eat inside to escape the heat. I've been lucky enough to be at a wedding catered by them. The taco bar can't be beat!

    Visited this excellent food truck today for the first time. My sons and I were hungry and we heard about Tacos Tapatio being open on Recker and Brown (the location may vary). We went and orders three burritos, two tacos, a quesadilla and a horchata. The burritos were al pastor and chock full of delicious ingredients. Authentic cured pork, cilantro, light touches of pineapple, rice and beans all included. They were juicy and excellent. The tacos were carne asada and street taco style . The quesadilla was also carne asada and very good. The horchata was fresh and homemade. The prices were reasonable and the staff was kind. The meal was prepared quickly and we decided to eat at the small set of table area they had available outside. They of course have takeout and otder ahead as well. They take cards and cash. If you get a chance to check out this great little food truck you won't be disappointed . I truly enjoyed it!

    Wow! It's nice to see a taco truck out in East Mesa! My husband and I have been keeping up with their Instagram to find out where they'll be and their menu items. We finally had the chance to try it today, and I'm so impressed! Ordered al pastor and carne Asada tacos, and a burrito. We left NO CRUMBS! Everything was so flavorful and delicious. Definitely satisfied our taco craving! Their salsas are so good and have a great amount of spice to it. Can't wait to go back and try their birria soon! 5/5 would recommend!

    The Al pastor was overcooked. Was disappointed by the lack of flavor or heat to the red salsa.

    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!

    Had the carne asada tacos and pastor mulita. The carne assada tacos were great, the taste and…read moretoppings were good. The tortilla was excellent and complemented it very well. The hot sauce did the job as well. The pastor mulita did the job, the pastor was flavor-full but it had its own style, it wasn't like the pastor in Tijuana and was different than the usual pastor in az. It was different, but cant hold its own without the guac salsa cheese carrying it Would go back for the carne asada tacos, and 4/5 because the price tag. The price to quality is good, but the quantity is a stretch. 2-3 bite max tacos for over 3 dollars is wild work. The quality tho, makes it worth returning for sure

    Came here for our Friday lunch date a couple of weeks ago (but forgot to write a review)…read more We had a couple of their tacos (I had the Al Pastor as it was only available on a Wednesday ‍ and the wife had the Costra taco and it was all pretty good. Great flavors. We shared their Flamingo (crispy rolled flour tacos stuffed with cheese blend and roasted anaheim pepper, topped with lettuce, sour cream, avocado salsa, pico de gallo and cotija cheese) - VERY GOOD! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We both had the Modelo Especial with lunch as well, as you gotta do it right! Service was quick as it wasn't that busy when we arrived and were seated - but it got busy not long after.. You can see its a popular place and right in the heart of Tempe so no surprises! It's not a noisy place but far, and quite open, so its pretty average for noise. We will be back - as there are some great foodie places around in Tempe, and Taco Chelo is definitely one of them!

    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
