Green Butcher Taco (4/5): The pork was tender and tasty. I couldn't taste the difference between the hatch chile tortilla and the standard corn tortilla though. Carne Asada Taco (4/5): Not the best quality steak, but still a tasty steak taco. Chips and Salsa (3/5): The thick chips were almost pita like. The salsa wasn't my favorite. It didn't have enough acidity or sweetness and didn't taste super fresh. The hot sauce salsa was better but wasn't very spicy RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

I walked to Willie's from my hotel on Van Buren street. It's just .6 miles away. It's a 15 minute walk. I ordered the chicken taco, shrimp taco, and the green Butcher taco with some chips, guacamole and salsa. I only ordered the green butcher because it was listed on the menu as a favorite and I can 100% agree with that opinion! It was my favorite by far! Super tasty! Big and filling! The chips, salsa, and guacamole are all freshly homemade and delicious! I was able to eat 2 out of the 3 tacos, and less than half of the chips and salsa. They all made great leftovers for the next day. The restaurant was empty except for a lone guy who actually looked like Willy Nelson who appeared to be writing music. The only thing I didn't like about the restaurant was the street noise. It's right off of the street and open aired. The restaurant has no control over it, but the loud mufflers in this city are SO annoying! The city really needs to do something about this issue! It's awful. Prices are reasonable. After tax and tip my bill was about $35 for one person, but like I said, it turned into two meals. Definitely would go back for happy hour and order the green butcher again. read more

I like to go to this place before baseball games and sometimes basketball games or concerts. Before an event everyone is pretty hyped and it makes me happy lol the margaritas and micheladas are really good and so far all the food I've had is good. The big fatty burrito has been my first sort of disappointment because it had more beans than anything but luckily their beans are delicious lol so idk how truly disappointing I felt. read more

I like the atmosphere. It's a nice place to sit on the corner that you ever seen in third but they water down all the alcohol beer is OK. The staff is not as friendly as that. I thought they would be on an average should owe him money because I'm here, but they don't owe me any courtesy. Just wanna let you. read more

This place has literally kept me alive for the last 10 years! I work around the corner and eat here at least once a week. Some weeks three or four times! My favorite items are the chronic dog, the Carne Asada taco and the shrimp tacos. And the Carne Asada fries are so good as well. Not to mention if I swing by after work, their house margaritas are great. Andy is amazing and I love Eric the owner as well! I feel like family every time I walk in! read more

This place is super cute! It's in a cool area right in downtown Phoenix, super close to the Diamondbacks stadium, Footprint Center, and the Phoenix convention center. The service was good; they were nice but nothing out of the ordinary. I got 2 shrimp tacos - I usually get 3 when I go out for tacos, but they were so expensive!! For just me, I paid like $15, which would have gotten me a full meal at most other restaurants. The tacos were pretty average too, so I'd rather go another place next time I'm looking for tacos based on the taste and the price. read more

Meh. It was pretty average. I ordered a burrito with the green chile sauce and cotija cheese, and a pink guava jarito drink. As far as the place, I thought it was pretty hot inside. I was sweating bullets when I scarfed down my burrito. Kinda irritating. What annoyed me even more was the employee didn't call me by my proper name. The employee--let's call him "Captain Mix-Up"--decided my name was MIGUEL instead of Michael. Look, amigo, I'm Michael. Not Miguel, not Manuel, not even Montezuma. Just plain ol' Michael. Why do Americans think it's funny to rename brown people Spanish names just because they are in a Mexican Joint? The privelege! WTF? Is it a secret initiation? "Welcome to the Club of Cultural Cluelessness!" Look, fellas, it's not cute. It's like calling a sushi chef "Sriracha" or a French baker "Croissant." Let's stick to real names, shall we? read more

Lots of misters! People are nice. This was the only restaurant open by the ballpark. Tacos were normal not amazing but I did not like the rice it was very dry and the beans were kinda chalky. The place has a really cool vibe and we will definitely be back here again! Hopefully the rice and beans improve. read more

Probably the best tacos we've ever eaten, one of the tastiest guacamole, Carne asada meat had so much flavor. Cold Modelo wasn't too shabby either. The worst part was being too full to finish the delicious food and then finishing anyways. Only downfall was they have terrible napkins, so grab about 4 times more than you think you need. Overall deff recommend and can't wait to be back. read more

We really enjoyed this taco spot in Phoenix after a suns game last season, as it was conveniently located near the footprint center. (Walkable) The service was very quick, and the ambiance was cute- we sat outdoors and got a cool breeze. We recommend the grilled pollo asado, traditional carnitas, rice, beans, and elote (all pictured). Tip- try to go early and beat the basketball crowd next season! read more

We went to this place for the first time and were impressed with the food and salsas, very flavorful. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed our variety of tacos. So why the three stars? The extremely vulgar rap music blaring out of the speakers; mother f'er, I'm going to come bi*ch...etc. families with smaller children were inside and walking by. Food was good, but not enough to listen to that. read more

My brother was looking for a bar to watch them Man U soccer game and the first bar we went into was enemy territory lol. We kept walking and found this place! They weren't playing the game but they gladly turned it on for us. Everyone was helpful and very welcoming, I'd def return whenever I'm around. Service: 10/10 Drink: Virgin frozen strawberry lemonade-- 11/10! Super refreshing and the perfect sweetness. Frozen piña colada-- 10/10! Haven't had a perfect piña colada in awhile. Food: 9/10 CHILI CON QUESO, CHIPS & SALSA-- 7/10; queso was yummy but the chips were too hard for my liking. GREEN BUTCHER TACO--10/10 CHILI-LIME SHRIMP-- 9/10 Ambiance: cool/family vibes. read more

Absolutely best thing I ate while visiting Phoenix for our 2025 Project Management conference at the convention center. My husband and I are huge foodies and you could taste the love in these tacos. The service was incredible and the owner came out while we were finishing up and he was so kind and personable. He made us feel so welcome, like family. We will be sure to stop by every chance we get while in Phoenix. read more

I got a free taco from Willie's truck at an event. I was so happy they had a vegan option. It had potatoes, black beans, peppers and flavor in a pink corn tortilla. It was fresh/flavorful without being too greasy. I wasn't able to decide on the salsa options so the vendor gave me the mango habanero. No regrets! Sweet and spicy! I'm not in their neighborhood much, but will certainly keep an eye out for the truck! read more

Amazing! Great music and spacious. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant and bathrooms are very clean! would recommend

Stopped in today to have a bite before the game. The whole are is packed. Super fast service, the food came out almost immediately after ordering. I ordered a skinny margarita which was refreshing and still tasted like a margarita not like those lime spritzer types you get sometimes. My son go the Big Fatty and he loves it. Nice portion size. The picture is after he's eaten half of it. I ordered a quesadilla and added carne which they didn't skimp on at all. The entire quesadilla had a layer of meat. I would recommend this place for game days for sure. read more

Met some friends to see a show at the arena. Everything around the arena was packed and on 2+ hour wait times. Came accross this local spot and it was also packed BUT efficient! We stood in line and ordered our food and drinks at the register. We got our food in as little as 15min, considering how busy it was. The food was hot, fresh and authentic! I ordered the three chicken rolled tacos (10/10 recommend). My friends got an assortment of tacos that looked delicious too! If you're by the arena, downtown, definitely check out Willies Taco Joint. The esthetics is kind of rugged, dive bar feeling with inside and outside seating. Let me prefix, that's my kind of spot! They also had a salsa bar with PRE-PACKED salsa containers, which I appreciated. read more

4/27/25, 2 women arrived for women's expo there was also a baseball game the same time. I ordered a bacardi and did coke and my friend ordered a margarita. Both tasted terrible. I kept the same drink and watched the bartender pore another drink 4 me. The diet coke tasted great but something way not right with the bacardi. My friend changed her drink to a body Maria. Wow. I have never seen such a light drink. Where's the tomato juice? It also tasted disgusting. We have been coming here yearly and no more. The drink even in a plastic glass tasted like it was coated in some kind of chemical. read more
