    3 BIRRIA TACOS CONSOME & HORCHATA
    Kendall N.

    Just tried this place for the first time today. It was mentioned in the AZ Republic as one of the best taco places. I got the Birria taco combo. You get 3 tacos and a drink. 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.

    Burrito, Fries & Spot Sauce

    Came here for a quick dinner on a weeknight. We were greeted as soon as we came in. They have several typical options for tacos and burritos. The have birria tacos including a birria ramen option which is interesting. The burrito came with fries which was also interesting. The burrito was good but nothing amazing. The fries were really good and I really liked the "spot sauce" that came with it. Not really spicy but just a bit of a bite. Sweet, smokey and tangy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think the prices were a bit high for a fast casual place.

    Great lunch spot. The meats in the taco were very flavorful. I wish they added cheese into the birria but I guess I coulda asked for it, I thought it's a normal ingredient. The birria ramen was yummy. They have cases of the ramen and I think they just use the consome as the broth so it's very flavorful. A little spicy for me, but it says that on the top so I was aware lol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute decor and tons of table space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I'm in town for work and was looking for a quick grab and go dinner. A friend in California said this place popped up on his TikTok and that I should try it, so big shoutout to marketing because that is some epic reach. I entered a little skeptical. It kind of looked like this place could be more gimmicky and I just care if the food tastes good. However, it wasn't bad at all. Actually, it was like pretty bomb. What I ordered: Aquas Frescas Horchata - 2/5 To me, this was a let down. It's just watery tasting. I'm gonna drink it because this dry heat is no joke, but meh. Chicken Quesadilla - 5/5 Yeah this was really good. It came with two sauces, one green tomatillo and one creamy red one. Both sauces, delicious. But the creamy red is super spicy so go in lightly at first. The chicken inside is perfectly seasoned and juicy. The cheese is on point. It's such a basic quesadilla, but they nailed it 100%. Oh and the customer service was good! The lady at the counter was friendly, let me know details about the items I was considering ordering without me asking her to. This Texan would definitely recommend.

    Would give 0 stars. Service is very slow. Not enough people taking orders. Charged the wrong price multiple times. Very slow to receive food. Food portions are too small and overpriced. Only have fountain drinks, no brewed iced teas. Don't waste your money here

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice employees, really cute interior of the restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and I was so excited to try this spot, however my order was wrong when I got home I ordered the Birria tacos with consome' and when I got home I had no consome' in my bag so that was super disappointing :( !! My tortillas were so soggy and they had wayyyy too much cheese inside of them, however the meat was pretty flavorful.

    Skimpy BIRRIA TACO

    Ordered a 3 birria taco combo with consume. The portion was insulting. $17 for 3 tacos with barely any meat. I'm usually not one to complain about my food but I was not about to eat these like this. Brought it up to the counter and explained how there wasn't enough meat to call it a taco. The young lady went and talked to kitchen staff, she came back out and said "this is the normal amount they use in the tacos". LOL. She did bring me a small cup of more meat but it shouldn't even have come to this. I'm glad they tried to make it right but I'll never come back for portions like this for $17. The flavor was there but the value isn't.

    We were driving by and the Taco Spot caught our eye with the banner they have up! It's in a nice quiet plaza with good parking! It's cute inside with the wall art, they have a wonderful menu to order from. So many great options... We ended up getting the Birria Ramen & 2 Birria Tacos Combo Loaded fries and the burrito taco and fry combo! Everything was so satisfying, the tacos with the ramen were absolutely delicious the taco dipped in the spicy broth was mouthwatering literally couldn't wait for the next bite! I highly recommend this place, everything was satisfying and we will definitely be going back! The serving sizes were good and the atmosphere was great, clean and the employees were kind and helpful!

    Waited 20 minutes and saw 4 people get their HUGE orders after me (they ordered in person). Mind you, all I ordered was 3 carne asada tacos and a cheese quesadilla.The food was sitting for about 10 minutes before they called my name. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Customers around me did not know what personal space is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also found a hair in my tangled in my bag.. Overall, I wouldn't recommend coming here- lost my appetite and food is probably cold now.

    Tacos hit the spot on rainy nights! Ordered street tacos, the birria nachos, and Carne asada burrito. Pretty good, a little dry, but it hit the spot! The street tacos were a good price compared to the other places in the surrounding area

    I was looking for a quick lunch spot on my way out of the valley to golf in Gold Canyon and saw…read morethis place on Yelp with the great reviews. 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.

Carne asada burrito which came with chipotle cream sauce, carne Asada, and pico. Also beans and we asked for no rice. We both had rice on the side with beans. The burrito was nice and big. The rice was really good. And the beans were mediocre. The burrito was good, except the only bad thing I would say it was a little too greasy, and when you bit into it, all the greasy juice came out. I'm not sure if we would go back maybe, to try something different.

The parking lot outside was parking so we thought we may have to wait, but inside was not busy yet and we were seated immediately. I ordered the smoked chicken enchilada as I saw it was a Yelp favorite and it was delicious. I ended up taking half of it home since we all filled up on chips and salsa before our meal. This restaurant is decorated so cutely. I love how there is a Baja influence with all the surf boards but also southwest appeal. There is plenty of seating and tables for big groups. Even with other people yapping around us, the noise level was perfect to enjoy company. 10/10 would recommend.

Update: the owner messaged me and told me to buy an entire chicken. Uh, maybe put some chicken in the chicken burrito? Update #2: The owner sure does like to argue with the customer back and forth. Now, he proposed that I order from Chipotle instead since they fail to give customer what one paid for. Update #3: The owner still going back and forth with me and now claiming I did not pay for the burritos. Not really sure what he means by that.

Got the $30 Plato Campechano between 2 ppl (half chicken, half a pound of Carne, flour and corn tortillas, rice, beans from the pot, salsas, grill jalapeños, guacamole, limes, and radishes). Decent amount of food, although the chicken and carne were both a bit dry. I enjoyed the beans and rice, and the additional accouterments. Overall, good flavor and seasonings, just dry protein. Not sure if that would change on a busier day if fresh food was being pumped out, but would be open to checking this place out again!
