    Starting eating the pizza Birria
    Jaquay R.

    I have two favorite Mexican restaurants and this is one of them. There is nothing I have had that isn't good. The food is flavorful with authentic Mexican taste that is kong lasting even after eating. Service is great. Everyone is so friendly and kind. The atmosphere is lively with music playing in the background. There is great decor and salsa bar inside. My favorite on the menu is the Birria taco. This time I tried the pizza Birria and it was sooooo amazing. I also love the flautas, California burrito, and tacos. I highly recommend checking this place out. They even have a drive-thru.

    This little neighborhood spot near downtown Chandler was a substitute to our first option which was closed unfortunately. We were wanting to get some breakfast burritos from a small, local restaurant and came across this when looking for alternative options. It's a very friendly and community oriented. Space, what I mean by this is you can sense the closeness and connecting with community from the entire staff. They are friendly, opening and inviting. Bilingual as well. We got two burritos and put in hashbrowns, eggs, avocado, beans, salsa, and we really enjoyed it. It was a bit heavier than the usual burritos we get, so we were only able to eat half of ours each, but we finish the rest later.

    Quesabirria taco plate

    This is a true hole-in-the-wall gem that I've been going to for years. The food is always amazing--and most importantly, consistently delicious. My top two go-tos are the quesabirria tacos and the rolled tacos. You can't go wrong with either one! Prices are very reasonable, too. A reliable favorite every time.

    This location used to be El Paisa but now is owned by Tradiciónes which has another location in Tempe. It is wasy to drive by as the building is smaller with an older 80's window design facing the street. This location has a drive thru or on site dining. The configuration of the parking is spatially restricted, but the food is worth it. Inside the restaurant probably needs a thorough remodel but decorated typically. The front is cozy and contains individually wrapped items on their salsa bar. There are usually at least 4 salsas beside vegetables. The service is friendly and staff speaks English but español is the predominant language. No hay mucha confianza en la comida cuando la gente del restaurante no habla la idioma del pais. They have a variety of dishes and most menu items are combinations. They have great portions and there is a size difference between Street and regular tacos. If your Dr. allows, you should try their quesa birria plate. a ramikan of rice and beans accompanies each combo. I wish their beans were smoother, rather than whole, but that is my preference. The Carne/meat is always tasty and I recommend trying them out. Most combos are run $15-$16. They have traditional drinks, Coke products in cooler or fountain.

    Birria Ramen
    Amanda M.

    New taco place my husband was asking to go to all weekend! He loved all 3 of his dishes, and the birria ramen was great! It was a huge portion. It was nice It was in the warmer, but probably didn't need to be since it is kind of inconvenient to have to put it into a bowl or try to eat it out of there. Super authentic!

    Carne Asada Burrito
    Cara T.

    Tradiciones Mexican Grill, formerly known as Tacos El Paisa is a Mexican Restaurant & Family Restaurant located in Chandler, AZ just off of Arizona Ave. This is a true hidden gem that is absolutely delicious and authentic. First off, if you love all things with birria and consume this is your spot. We had ordered birria quesadillas, barbacoa, al pastor, carne asada burrito, & beef tacos combo. All absolutely delicious & we ended up going back two days in a row! I so enjoy al pastor and the carne asada both were bomb. They packed the most flavor IMO. The consume broth is really rich and perfect when you dip all of the entrees in it. Next time we go back: they have a flautas cup that looks not only fun to eat, but fantastic too! The salsa bar is really fresh and inviting. All the condiment offerings and additional sauces were neatly displayed in their clean iced salsa station located at the counter which includes superb fresh bagged carrots and multiple tasty salsas that are ALL outstanding. Food was prepped in a timely manner and ready quickly, plus our meals were piping hot, so you know it was just prepared. Price wise everything is fairly reasonable in this current economy. Our meals were packed with a punch and the quantity was too! We had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. Highly recommend this place if you want truly amazing authentic Mexican food. It will not disappoint!

The nachos ended up being the star of the night. They were loaded, flavorful, and very satisfying. There was plenty of food and they were more than enough for both of us to share. My husband ordered the burrito and finished it pretty quickly because it was on the smaller side. After that we both ended up just sharing the nachos and we were completely full. Since this was a delivery order I cannot speak to the dine in atmosphere or service, but the food was packaged really well and everything arrived intact and still fresh. Nothing was soggy and the portions held up well for delivery, which I always appreciate. The nachos were definitely the highlight and something I would absolutely order again. Next time I would actually love to stop in during the day and try it in person so we can explore more of the menu.

I heard that there are new owners which makes sense. All the old workers are gone along with the welcoming atmosphere and delicious food we had come to know and love. On our last visit, some in our party got birria tacos and they all came with decently sized chopped bones in them! When we told the server about it, there was no apology - he actually said that is how they make it?!?!? Let me get this straight, you put choking hazard sized bones in your tacos and don't tell anyone to watch out for them? I've included pics and video so you can see what I am talking about. Tacos are my favorite food on the planet and I've had birria tacos at many, many places (including Mexico) and have never encountered multiple bones in any kind of taco for that matter. Unfortunately their carnitas tacos are dry and flavorless. The Super Taco is still pretty good (no bones), but this and our recent experiences here are making us cross this place off of our rotation going forward. Tortas, thanks for the memories, it was a helluva run, pero no mas.

    Espo's in Chandler is one of those local gems that keeps us coming back. On our most recent visit,…read morewe ordered the Pueblo Alto Burrito with added guacamole--a carne asada California-style burrito--and it was absolutely fantastic. My wife can be pretty particular when it comes to carne asada, so she was a little hesitant when I suggested we share it. After a few bites, she couldn't get enough! The carne asada was flavorful, tender, and clearly high quality, and the burrito itself was packed with great ingredients and balanced flavors. The added guacamole was the perfect finishing touch. As much as we loved the burrito, Espo's has become a go-to spot for our family because of their Taco Tuesday special. Their 10-taco plate for around $12 is an incredible value, especially for families. We love that you can mix and match between carne asada, carnitas, ground beef, chicken, and shredded beef, making it easy to get something everyone will enjoy. The restaurant also has that fun, authentic hole-in-the-wall feel while still being a well-established local favorite. It's the kind of place that locals know and love for good reason. If you've never tried Espo's, I highly recommend giving it a shot. Great food, great value, and a true Chandler staple.

That's when Chandler Blvd was still two lane road and called Williams Field road. We enjoy Espos for Tacos Tuesdays. We arrived a little before 7pm and waited for about 5 minutes to order. They called our number about 5 minutes later. Pretty efficient service as there was constant traffic. They offer 10 street tacos for $12.50 with choice of ground beef, chicken, shredded beef, carnitas or carne asada on Tuesday's. We ordered 10 carne asada tacos to share. They offer a nice self serve topping bar that includes a generous selection, three sauces, pickled red onions, cabbage, lettuce, limes. Freshly made corn tortillas give the tacos a home made flavor. Although the tacos are small, sharing 10 provided a satisfying meal for us. They have table inside and on the patio. We opted for the patio as it was nice weather. Mexican music played in the background was pleasant and set a relaxing mood on the patio. Highly recommended!

He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my friend who is deaf, making sure we always had water, napkins, and plenty of chips.

I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious.

Happy Hour is daily with $3 off all appetizers (not just selected as the menu says) in addition to drink specials. We ordered a few apps to share and had: - Chips with Guacamole and Salsa: solid - Queso Fundido: I was excited for this as friends have said they liked it, but the cheese harden within minutes and it wasn't as nice - Street Style Esquites: I was expecting more corn rather than mixed in another cheese dip and likewise, the cheese harden quickly. - Shrimp cocktail: it was pretty heavy on the liquid rather than thicken, but good - 3 potato tacos: okay, wasn't expected it to be fried so it was a bit greasy but loved the slaw it came with - Southwest egg roll: not bad, was a crowd's favorite and I liked the sauce it came with We didn't realize most of the apps came with tortilla chips otherwise we may have ordered differently. I got the frozen margarita and it was a bit sweet, but nice for the summer evening. Our server wasn't super attentive, but was nice whenever they came around. There's a sampler entree platter I'd like to try, but of all the appetizers we tried, the best was probably the chips with guacamole and salsa.
