    Carne asada tacos
    Claris B.

    It has meat (protein), vegetables (salsa and guacamole), and gluten free (corn tortillas ) Eating a taco is good for you!! Testal's tacos are so good! I love how they season and cook their asada and their tortillas don't hurt my stomach, which is a huge win for me!

    One of the "best burritos" in town spot! The girls there are so nice and friendly. The food is amazing, I love their burritos and tacos. I am still exploring their menu but so far have not tried something I don't like.

    Entry way and orders

    Ate here soon after leaving phoenix airport. We wanted a quick bite that wasn't too pretentious but excellently prepared and found just that! The restaurant is located in a small strip housing an art gallery, a yogurt place, and a coffee shop. It doesn't look like much from the outside but their menu does the talking. It is following food from the northern Mexican region. As a vegetarian, I truly appreciated their vegan menu- I thought the tortillas, which are handmade, wee soft and fresh with beans that had some creamy flavor. Usually refried beans are a mountain of mush, but not here. I had the chilaquiles, with both red and green sauce. The green sauce and the chili oil made from arbol chili was my favorite. My husband had vegan bean burrito and burrito with shredded poblanos- both were excellent. The owner even came by and recommended different items. I was impressed with the friendly atmosphere and the reasonable prices. Definitely worth the drive for a light lunch/brunch. Will be heading back there before leaving from the airport

    Tucked away in a cute plaza with ample parking along Grand Avenue. This place was clean and inviting. Convenient electronic menu boards located at the entrance making the ordering process easy. Food was traditional Mexican fare. Chips were salty and had lots of crunch. Burritos were excellent and the carne asada was tender and flavorful. Great visit and the owner was behind the counter. I would return.

    Came here for a quick lunch and it was delicious. It's a small place, but there are several indoor tables and a little bar. There's a large mirror on the wall, and some shelves with some Mexican items on them. There is also a patio with a DJ. That could be a lot of fun when it's not so hot outside. You order at the counter and get a beeper to let you know when your food is ready. We had a couple of margaritas, a red chili burrito with potatoes, and carne asada tacos, birria tacos, and carne adovada tacos. All were absolutely delicious! There is a little fridge where you can grab bottles of red and green hot sauce. This is a great little place with great food at great prices. Definitely recommend.

    We tried Testal for the first time for lunch on Monday. There are many meat and vegan options. We had the vegan Colorado Burrito, the vegan Chile Relleno Burrito, rice, and beans, Pinole Agua Fresca, and Tamarindo Agua Fresca and each item was a 10 out of 10. The flavors were vibrant, fresh, and delicious. You could taste that the chef really focuses on fresh ingredients, amazing flavor profiles, and quality dishes. Excellent food, service, venue, and location with easy and accessible parking. Thank you -we will be back!!

    I just finished getting my tattoo with Ms. Cathy at Kowloon Tattoo in this plaza. I was hungry and this walking distance plus highly recommended! Of course, I love tacos. I told the staff it was my first time here and she said I need to get the Birria tacos (3 Delicious slow-cooked beef stew tacos served with consome). Sold! This place is cute, simple, and enough seating inside and outside. Consome is their "soup" that your beef tacos are dipped in. I could bathe and consome! Yes, it is THAT good. I need to come back for more items to try.

    Aside from the thrown-together Vegan Taco, the food offering, prices & atmosphere is nice. A fast-casual concept offering Chihuahuan-style food & drinks - a good presence of Veggie/Vegan options. After you place your order you can sit down in the various areas or watch your food being made in their open kitchen. The enclosed patio is spacious with an outdoor service station & misters/heaters - imagine the latter. We came here around 7:30P on a Friday & saw a DJ set up. The eatery highlights their culture with staple foods & indigenous artwork/decor. I'd be back the next time I'm in town for a sit-down experience.

    We came here on a last minute recommendation, it is a smaller space with limited seating. As we walked in we saw this tortilla pocket that looked amazing. We knew right away this was a good idea. We asked about it and the friendly girl at the counter explained it is the Gordita, limited availability. We ordered one. It came out pretty quick and it was amazing. A little spicy but we were able to handle it. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu.

They make my tacos just how I ask every time I come, and I make changes! Most recently was last night after a rough rental car situation (avoid NU check those reviews eek) and the bartender was awesome. Quick service, friendly and took my order perfectly. Strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite and if you know me I'm a lemonade girl. Tacos are perfect, the meat has virtually no weird fat on them like most tacos do. Both carne and chicken. Delicious. I'm here for five days this trip and I'm going back for sure, may end up at the Tempe location too. I should mention the great atmosphere and getting I got, a "welcome in" from the ladies behind the counter as well as the bartender I wish I got his name. Thank you for making my night :)

The weather was nice enough to enjoy seating outside in the patio area. Selections chosen: -Chips, salsa, and guacamole appetizer to start -shrimp ceviche- mexican wild shrimp, cucumber, cilantro, tomato, avocado with chips. Nice starter. -Fish tacos- beer battered fish, morita crema, cabbage, pickled onion, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed this taco. -Chicken - adobo style with avocado, sour cream and pico de gallo. -Carnitas (pork)- with onion and cilantro -Carne asada (beef) - avocado salsa, onion, cilantro -crispy tacos (with minced shrimp inside and then topped with tomato salsa, pickled onion, avocado and cabbage). I loved the first crispy taco. And then when I had my 2nd crispy taco where it was not enjoyable anymore. I only was able to eat 1/3 of this until I had the most spiciest pepper seed in my mouth that ruined the rest of the experience and had to load with 3 cups of water with watery eyes and burning mouth. I wasn't hungry anymore. A nice way to curb an appetite. -strawberry horchata- yummy - tres leches de coco - something was lacking as it wasn't as tasty as if it was missing an ingredient. I would like to come back to try the crispy tacos but will need to make sure it doesn't have the spiciest seed as I don't believe there was an indication for something super spicy.

This location is a standalone with a decent patio. Parking is minimal but seemed like there were enough people coming and going. I got a spot right away. Note when leaving you'll have to go right - heading North on 43rd. The staff here were really nice! 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.
