    I've been to one of there other spots and fell in love. So I had to try this one and it did not disappoint at all. You can't go wrong with the birria ramen and the 2 birria tacos. It's pretty much a staple for this place and it is a must try if you are in Arizona.

    Not open at 9! Came on my break to eat some tacos and it's 9:04 and it's empty. No one is inside. Lights are off. I knocked and no response

    Carne Asda Burrito

    I thought I ordered a Carna Asada burrito not a rice burrito with Carne Asada. I expected more for $14, yikes. Not worth it. The Carne was good but hard to taste around all the rice as well as beans and lettuce.

    First impression is that the music and kitchen errors were so loud it made it difficult to order. We were able to order quickly and it didn't take long to receive the order. I think it's expensive for quantity of food received. The food was okay. The menu is somewhat small. Not in a rush to visit, again.

    This place should have so many more reviews than it does, it is absolutely amazing. I have been seeing videos and posts about birria, which is a type of soup with tons of seasonings and such. I saw that they had ramen birria and I was sold. First off, the ramen birria smelled so so good I was so excited to dig in. Second off, I decided to get it with tacos so I could dip it in the ramen. Hands down the best thing I have ever tasted. I highly recommend if you do like spicy, authentic, Mexican food. The service was quick and the lady who took our order was super helpful.

    This spot just opened up nearby me so we decided to give it a try. They have street tacos for $2 on Tuesdays which is a great deal! You order at the counter to dine in or for takeout. They have a selection of tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, combos with fries, and even a fusion with tacos inside a ramen that I haven't tried yet but intend to next time! Definitely get the consome to dip your Burria tacos in (or just drink it's that good). We've tried the surf and turf burrito bowl and a selection of their tacos. I'd definitely get the tacos again but the burrito bowl was a little carb heavy and could use more lettuce/tomato/veggies incorporated for some different flavors and textures. They have a green and red salsa that's really good as well. The ambiance is casual with a selection of high tops to dine-in and they play nice festive music and have one tv inside that plays food promos. The music isn't overly loud but enough that you wouldn't want to be taking business calls or anything. The service has always been really friendly as well.

    I really enjoyed the Taco Spot! Lots of great options with some well made tacos. The surf-and-turf was filled with meat and fish and some really amazing salsa and veggies. I would have liked a few more options for non-meat / veggie / fish tacos, but oh well. Service was nice and friendly. Parking can be a REAL challenge due to the number of businesses sharing the strip mall space. Had to park pretty far down in the parking lot in front as it was just packed. There is additional parking in the back but that was filled. Taco Spot itself was not that busy, so the parking issue was likely due to the other businesses there.

Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

There was a line when we got there but the food came so fast a little after we got a table. They have drive thru too. Ambiance was great. Seats are limited and they have outdoor options. They played Mexican music which adds to the authenticity. Saw reviews that parking is limited but we got lucky, they're were still a few open spots when we came. Overall, would recommend and will come back

Atmosphere is modern Latin good vibes and based on the libations area my guess this place gets pretty slammed on weekends., Service 10/5 We had the pleasure having Lesi as our server.
