    Ever since I moved from California, I've been on the hunt for a good spot -- and Cali Taco has been it for me! The first time I tried their burrito, it was so good even though it was falling apart a bit, but I didn't mind because the flavor made up for it. I went back a second time and the burrito was just as good! I also tried the nachos -- bomb! Super loaded and flavorful. The asada fries were fire too -- just like back home in Cali. This is definitely my go-to when I'm craving that real Cali-style Mexican food. If you're in Buckeye and missing that West Coast flavor, definitely check them out!

    Al pastor and carne asada tacos.

    I'm working down the street for the next few months and saw this place. Being that I live in California I was very suspect of a place using the "mecca of Mexican food" as their name so I had to try. Let me just say they did not disappoint. These tacos reminded me of home. So much so that I visit it for lunch at least once a week. Their meats all taste fabulous and the guacamole on top is what completes it for me. That is authentic and worth the drive over to their restaurant. I have not been inside the restaurant to comment on the ambiance, but their drive thru is fast and service is great. Everyone is friendly and they provide you with plenty of salsa and radishes if you ask. I definitely recommend this place and can confirm they are allowed to use Cali in their name :). Keep up the great work!

    Taco de cabeza, rice and beans special.
    Evelyn L.

    I love coming here for the $7.99 special. Three tacos, rice, beans and a medium drink. You can't really beat that price. The staff is always really friendly and the place is nice and clean. The asada tacos are good, as well as the cabeza one. The only complaint was the tortilla. It was super stiff and dry. Don't get me wrong I love onions but it almost felt like they over powered the entire thing. I will still continue to come here though. You CANNOT beat that special.

    Solid.. I am not a Mexican officiando but this place has fresh, good tasting food at reasonable prices. Killer lunch spot!

    This is the ultimate experience. I normally don't care for fast food. This should not be compared. Here the ingredients are so fresh and quality is high. My favorite items are birria tacos and horchata to drink. The tacos are tender and juicy! Man I am getting hungry just thinking about this place. Try the fries if you have a large group. Please check out my photos.

    I found this spot tucked away in a Fry's plaza honestly surprising since I've been in the area…read moreplenty of times and never noticed it before. I stopped by on a Saturday night to finally check it out. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the trompo right away, which is always a good sign. I stepped up to the counter and was greeted with a warm smile from the young lady up front. After looking over the menu, I ordered two tacos de tripa and two tacos de suadero. She asked if I wanted the tripas extra crispy I said no. I also asked how they prepare the suadero since I didn't see a choricera, but she wasn't sure. When the food came out, the tripas were a letdown. The texture was off, almost like a stale chip, and they were clearly overcooked. I asked if I could swap them for something safer, so I went with asada instead, but that didn't impress either. It didn't taste very fresh. Now here's the reason you should come to Tacos Chilangos: the suadero. Even though it's not cooked the traditional way, it was absolutely delicious. Perfect meat-to-fat ratio, super flavorful, and easily the standout. The guacamole salsa was top tier. I kept going back to that one over the others. All in all definitely stop by to try the suadero as for as the other two I'd would probably give them a second try.

    Service wasn't wow, but it was quick and nice people. Building is a little older so don't expect…read morefancy sit down. I would say inside is similar to a Filiberto's, but I don't really care as long as the food is good. I'm a big taco fan and the tacos here are just ok. (Pastor way too salty, asada seemed blah, but suadero was good) I did make a lil drive to come out here but probably wouldn't do it again unless I'm just in the area. If o had to compare, I would say taco boys, ta carbon and tacos calafia are well above this spot. Good visit though and really just stopped to try.

    We were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this spot. After reading about it, found out…read morethat it was best to make a reservation ahead of time (made online). We realized that we were running late, so I called to let them know and thankfully they noted it. Parking wasn't hard to find (on street or their own private lot) and we were easily able to check in. The place was pretty packed when we arrived, but they placed a reserved sign on our table. It was basically a steak/meat spot. I initially tried to order a Carajillo, but was told that they ran out of the espresso (it was toward the end of the night, so understandable), and instead opted for the Tia Mia (Mezcal cocktail) and my husband got the Buckeye Sunset (Tequila cocktail). Both were very well made--presentation and flavors. For the food, we got the Chips and Salsa, Birria Protein Bowl, and Picahna steak with chimichurri sauce. The food was all so delicious. Chips and salsa, salsa was a little spicy for me, but very flavorful. The protein bowl was huge and loved the flavors, but ended up taking half home. The steak was bomb with meat being very tender, properly cooked, and full of flavor. I think the meal was well worth it and pretty tasty. Service was pretty good too. Honestly, I would come back just to try out other items on the menu, for future trips.

    Awesome hidden gem. The menu is wildly expansive from cheap burritos to crazy expensive steaks…read more You can really make it into whichever experience you'd like. I'd gotten the chicken plate, and LOVED it. Great cook on everything and really flavorful bites all around. (would have loved a spicier salsa option, tho). Ambiance is simple and open. Not fancy, but bright and airy. Service was fine. All around some of the best food I've had in the PHX are, so I'll be back on my next visit! (great gelato nearby for dessert also)
