Mini birria with no cheese
Ethan B.

Pricing- I spent almost $19 on 3 tacos with consome and a drink. $5 a taco is steep but I'd have payed it without complaint if the food had been good. For one, birria should be orange from the consome. It should be well cooked with plenty of cheese. Mine were tiny, the tortilla was flavorless bland corn, barely cooked, still yellow. The texture was bad. There was very little cheese. This is my third time at a taco spot and this location is by far the worst. I was thinking about trying the mango magic drink but $14?? $14 for some syrup and ice? The consome tasted sterile like soap or something, the tacos smelled bad, and the flavors were not there. I usually drink my consome but this one wasn't even dip worthy. Worst birria tacos I've ever had, including the prepackaged ones from Costco. Lastly, the hibiscus agua Fresca was sweet like an assault on my taste buds. I'm a sugar fiend but I had a stomach ache halfway in and it was so sugared I could barely handle the taste. I tossed it. The employee described it as bitter, which blows my mind. If you want birria, try a local mom and pop joint. If you try this chain, pick a different location and open your wallet up.

Carne Asada Taco

This is one of the better locations in the area the staff was nice the food was good and it was very clean!

Carne asada street tacos with guacamole
Lucy B.

Yum! I'm always down for a taco and the carne asada street taco hit my #1. New to the area and I would say they are comparable to tacos el gordo in Vegas. Iykyk! Service was quick. A few tables as what you'd expect from a taco shop and clean. Cashiers very friendly.

Mango slushi

Birria Tacos are A1!!!! Fireball is A1!!! And the Mango slushiiiiiiii definitely coming back!

Loaded Birria Fries and Mangonada

Wall art

The tacos were very flavorful, good portion size I had the #5 3 tacos rice and beans. (Asado,Birria,Pastor) Pastor was a bit in the salty side, melon drink was very good. Men's and Women's restrooms were clean. Lighting was bright and the wall art was colorful. Service was prompt and professional.

Wanted to grab a quick lunch for my team, and we all decided on this taco spot. The location was very clean, and the young lady who assisted me was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. We placed a to-go order, and everything went smoothly.

Surf and Surf & Turf Burrito.
Kirk H.

Upon a recommendation from a coworker, I got a surf and turf burrito and it was fantastic.

Birria tacos
Drew A.

We were excited to try this place, but sadly it was just ok. We paid $44 for 9 tacos, which didn't seem horrible until I saw the size of the tacos, they were pretty small. The guy at the counter asked if we wanted street tacos or the regular tacos, we asked for the regular tacos; but not sure how the street tacos could be much smaller. The tacos themselves were ok, my favorite being the surf and turf. It was filled with a lot of toppings, like the other ones should have been. The Al pastor tacos were my least favorite. They didn't provide dipping sauce for the birria tacos, so not sure if that was an oversight or not. Glad we tried it, but probably wouldn't go back.

The best place ever. Great service amazing people. In a very good environment I recommend 100%!

Tiny tacos. Where's the meat? It was really just a tortilla with lettuce and tomato. I'll go anywhere else next time.

Excellent Catering Experience -- Highly Recommend! (**SPANISH translation below**)…read more We hired Tacos Calafia Catering for my birthday celebration at our home and had an absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end! The food was delicious, fresh, and a huge hit with our guests. So many people commented throughout the evening on how good everything was, and just a few days later, one of my friends was already asking me for their contact information so she could recommend them for another event. That says it all! Alex and Adán provided excellent service. They were professional, friendly, organized, and made everything so easy for us as hosts. It was such a pleasure having them be part of our celebration. Our family just moved from Canada to Arizona in January, so we are still discovering local businesses we can trust, and Tacos Calafia is definitely one we will happily use again and recommend to our friends. Great food, great service, and wonderful people. There is a reason they have so many excellent reviews online -- they deserve them! Thank you, Alex, Adán, and the Tacos Calafia team for helping make my birthday such a special evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excellent taco catering in the Metro Phoenix area! **SPANISH translation below** ¡Excelente comida y servicio de catering -- 100% recomendados!

Alex y Adán nos dieron un servicio excelente. Fueron profesionales, amables, organizados y realmente hicieron que todo fuera muy fácil para nosotros como anfitriones. Fue un verdadero placer tenerlos como parte de nuestra celebración.

Their bathroom was also out of paper towels and low on soap, so that was unfortunate. Food is still delicious! I got their breakfast taco and some regular tacos. Their open bar for the salsas and garnishes always make me super happy.

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!

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!
