Food was affordable and tasted great. Our server was great and friendly Like the casual outdoor vibe will be back read more

The only good thing about this place is the decorations in the atmosphere. Very bad Mexican food (Taco Bell quality) and severely overpriced. My burrito was straight mush. Woman who took the order was very short and rude too. Would never visit again. I don't know why they have good reviews. Cocktails/beers are also overpriced and come in small cups. Horrible all around! Oh yeah parking lot is also a nightmare. read more

We went here with our friends. The atmosphere was great for kids! They could run around and play games. The adults got margaritas, which were good. We ordered tacos, nachos, and a burrito bowl, everything was delicious! Also, the staff were friendly. read more

Creekside Taco Shack is such a fun spot to hang out, especially on nice weather days. There's plenty of space and a huge sand pit for kids, making it perfect for families. The prices are super reasonable, and the food does not disappoint. the quesadilla I had was delicious and came in a generous portion. The service was very quick and the servers were extremely friendly and quick to follow up on how our food was. A casual, tasty spot with plenty of room for both adults and kids to enjoy! Will be back! read more

Happy Hour: Tue-Fri, 2-6pm. $2 street tacos, $1 off margaritas and beer on Tuesdays I will say you don't go here for the food. Lols We go because it's close to our house and a good spot for a playdate since it's like a huge sandbox for the kids. There are sand toys there so no need to bring your own. It's super casual inside with plenty of seating so good for groups. There are tables with umbrellas... There is a big parking lot but I've seen it pretty full on the weekend. When you walk in, it actually feels like you are at a dive bar in a fun beachy town. You order at the window, take a number and they'll bring your food to you. There is a large menu on the wall next to the soda dispensers. I usually get a couple tacos and my kids get the chicken nuggets. Again, nothing to rave about but the food does the job. I would get the fries over the rice and beans at least bc the latter two aren't great. I've had the steak burrito in the past but for $15 it's not worth it. Not very flavorful but they're big. I have a friend who only orders the chips and salsa bc it's the only thing she's ok with. Lols There are garbage stations for you to bus your own tables. So def a good casual spot to check out with kids and if you can deal with the mediocre eats. Hehe read more

Ambiance and drinks are 10/10, but food was bleh and overpriced. Chips and guacamole were just ok and I couldn't taste anything other than watered lettuce in my taco salad. Service was friendly and I loved the open space for kids to keep themselves busy with the added touch of toys available for all. Seating and parking is ample. Definitely a fun place to hangout and chill, but don't expect much from the food. read more

Creek Side Taco Shack - Creek side bowl with chicken - Tacos Near Me - Queen Creek, Arizona

I've been here a ton and tried all their tacos but now and most of their appetizers. I haven't been disappointed so far. We love this place because there is not a restaurant geared towards families like this. There are areas to sit that is far away from the kids so anyone who doesn't want kids running around can sit on the other side. My favorite tacos are the pollo caliente, and the crunchy tacos are good but I recommend getting a sauce to dip them in if you're a saucy fan! Food comes out at a normal speed, I've been here on busy and slow days and service has always been good and at a decent pace. read more

Stopped in for tacos before son's baseball game. I'll be honest, we were not expecting the crunchy tacos to be good. And they were! The only thing it's needing is a good spicy salsa! The vibe of the place was great as well and great for kids! read more

My family has been coming to Creek Side Taco Shack for several years. We love the beach atmosphere and casual seating. It's a great spot for kids and adults alike! I always get the Creek Side Bowl with chicken or shrimp and we split the chips with salsa/guacamole. Unlike some of the reviews, we haven't had any problems with the caliber/quality of service! Everyone is super friendly and attentive. You do have to order at a "window" and then take a number for the food to come out to you, so it is not a traditional sit-down style restaurant but we love that! It's a fun and different place to eat and honestly would be such a fun establishment to celebrate a rehearsal dinner or company/family party! My reasoning for 4 stars is the price - it is really expensive in my mind for a family of three. We got a kids meal, a bowl, crispy tacos, chips/salsa/guacamole, and one beer and it was $75 with tip. read more

This is easily one of my go-to places! It just makes you feel like you're on vacation, and who doesn't love that?! The chips and salsa, nachos, and the fish tacos are awesome!!! They have a good variety of beers and so many places to hang out! The bartenders are always friendly and welcoming! I bring all my out-of-town guests here and they love it! read more

Super disappointed with the service. Asked for light strawberry in the margarita and it was almost extra strawberry. Drinks were flat, asked for them to check the carbonation and the young bartender was rude. Said there wasn't a problem but she remade them anyway. The new drink had no alcohol in it and she acted like we put her out. Been coming here for years and this was the second time in a row the drinks weren't great. For the price they should be made perfect. read more

Creek Side Taco Shack - Strawberry margarita. - Tacos Near Me - Queen Creek, Arizona

The ambiance is pretty fun, if you want to feel at the beach with your toes in the sand this place is it, without the water. There were a lot of families which was nice because it is a kid friendly place, at least during the day. The food is okay, your typical Americanized Mexican food. Our server was not the best but he was also super young looking so maybe just shy. read more

What a super fun lil hidden gem!! It is mostly all outdoor seating, so be prepared for that! Gives a backyard beach party vibe, lots of soft sand so if any of your party has trouble walking, stick to the patio seating. The food was very good, tacos were fresh, the sides and sauces were great and the food came quick and hot! The ordering is at the bar window and the music was a little loud so the folks taking orders said "huh?" A lot, give those poor employees a break they need to hear too!! Haha! Overall I would say the taco toppings outweighs the meat portions in the tacos, and as they are a lil pricey for tacos that come with zero sides (rice and beans) I'd say add some more protein! We will be back tho! Fun and the food was great!! read more

I can tell you the vibes here are immaculate, it's a wait it line to order like chipotle, but they're quick and it's very effective. We had the kids bean and cheese, mini chimis, small chips and salsa and the fried fish taco platter. The chimis and the chips and salsa were super tasty!! The fish tacos were average and the fish was crunchy just not a lot of flavor! But I would absolutely still come back read more

First time here so wasn't sure what to expect. A little hidden gem. That the neighborhood locals walk to. We have family who lives across the street and comes here quite often. My son loved playing in the sand and such a laid back place. When ordering there's a place you walk up to order and they will bring out your food. I ordered the Chicken Tacos. I added some guac from our chips and guacamole and some of the sauce that came with the mini chimichangas. Which I will do every-time now. So good! My Husband got the chimichangas and he liked them. Someone in our party had a bowl it came with a side of ranch and we used that to dip the chimis in and 10/10. My little one got a kids meal with the quesadilla French fries and a drink. He was occupied for the most part but did eat all his Quesadilla. read more

This is a super cute place in the middle of a residential area. It has a very laid back beach bar ambience. You order at the window, and given a number. Your food is brought out to you when it's ready. I got the crunchy basket- 3 corn tortillas stuffed with shredded beef or chicken, then fried. I got the shredded beef. It came with a small side of salsa. It was very crunchy and surprisingly not greasy at all. I actually would've preferred it to be a bit greasy. It was ok, pretty bland and not much flavor. I had to add extra salsa and guacamole. It was still bland. One of my friends got their chips and guacamole. The chips had zero salt, and the guacamole was very sour. Really don't understand why they don't use salt to flavor their food. How hard is that? It is a great place to hang out but the food is just not good. If you want a nice casual place to have a drink and hang out, this is a great place. Just don't expect flavorful food. read more

My family and I have been loyal patrons of Creekside Taco for years and have never had a negative experience--until this past weekend. We visited on Saturday evening and placed our usual order. While my husband was finishing the payment, your blonde cashier handed me the kids' cups, and I walked over to the soda machine. When I returned to the table, my husband looked uncomfortable and shared something that genuinely shocked me: after I walked away, the cashier asked him, "Is her Stanley cup full of alcohol?" To say we were offended is an understatement. First, it's Arizona--we were sitting outside in 100+ degree heat. Having a personal water bottle isn't unusual, especially when dealing with young children. Second, there's a professional way to handle concerns about outside beverages. If your policy prohibits them, a respectful and clear statement like, "We don't allow outside drinks, but we're happy to provide free water cups," would've been completely appropriate. What's not appropriate is making a strong, behind-the-back accusation--especially without any reason or evidence. I've been a bartender for 15+ years, and I would never assume a guest was sneaking in alcohol without clear cause, much less voice that suspicion in such an indirect and insulting way. This experience left a very sour taste, and unfortunately, we won't be returning. I hope Creekside Taco takes this as an opportunity to re-train staff on how to approach guests with professionalism and respect--especially loyal ones. read more

We've been riding our horse to this spot for years and always enjoyed stopping in for a drink along the way. Today, we rode up through our usual route and walked over to order, only to be refused to serve us drinks with our meal by a short blonde staff member who said she wouldn't serve us because we had a beer in hand when we arrived. In all our years coming here, this has never been an issue. We've always been respectful patrons, and this experience was both disappointing and surprising especially on a quiet Sunday when you'd expect every guest to be welcomed. Unfortunately, we won't be spending another dollar here. Turning away loyal, paying guests like this doesn't seem like the best business practice. read more

This place is a joke it's illness infested with kids touching toys I bet they don't sanitize. Some older guy starts playing ball throwing it towards children's heads I had to yell at him lol. Then some kid drops sand in my drink I have not touched and they refused to replace it. It doesn't seem clean nor has good energy. My friend wanted to come to get a break from kids and to me was the opposite ha. Don't come here! read more

Love it here. Try the house margs, but be careful, don't drive even after one. Take a pitcher to go! Delicious. Love sitting at the bar, am I in the Caribbean? My little escape. Been coming here since my kids were little, still love it today. read more

Found this cute little gem in QC! I like the concept for this place especially because the whole back area is just a big sand lot area and a green field next to it where kids can play. Lots of benches and tables are available and different areas for the kids to play in the sand. There are sand toys everywhere but my kids brought their own. We got there around 4pm and stayed until 8pm and it definitely got busy. You have to order at the front and when it's busy, there are lines so it'll take awhile to order. We got the nachos, soft beef tacos, mini churros, strawberry lemonade. Food came out pretty fast since we got there before the rush. I wouldn't say it's the best "Mexican" food out there but it's decent and we enjoyed it and my kids loved their nachos and their mini churros. I wouldn't say service is great because I hardly would see a worker around but overall we had fun experience and it's a nice chill spot to hangout since kids loved playing in the sand especially the weather being nice right now. There's even cute little photo op areas and they have cute bistros lights on when it starts getting dark. Will definitely be back with some friends! read more

The bartender was a blast! They food was great and happy hour all day Tuesday!! Yea please!!

First time at this place. We wanted a place where our 2 year old grandson could play and we could have a good meal. This place was perfect. We sat outside and there is plenty of room for kids to play in the sand. You have to go up and order your food but they do bring it out to your table. I hade the Avocarne basket and it was very good. I had the corn shells. The mini chimis were good as well. Nice casual outdoor dining. read more

Good location with cool vibe. I can see this be a fun spot for families. However, the food was below average in my opinion. I was really optimistic with finding that hole in the wall with superb food, but alas it was not. It is possible I came on an off night, but am unwilling to give it another shot. read more

Environment was super cool. The kids an absolute blast playing in the sand, we barely saw them. Food was mediocre at best. Bland, cold, and tasteless. Crazy expensive, too. We got 6 tacos, a fountain drink, chips and salsa, and a kids quesadilla. $45. We felt rushed and service was garbage. We may come back, mainly to let the kids to play, but we'll eat before. read more

Instagram got me to come here and check this place out. The atmosphere is nice. Unique and it has character. Food was eh. Service was eh. The lady didn't really help much and was rushing us. Overall I don't think we would come here again. But it's nice to check out a new place. read more

I came here on a Friday at 2PM and there were only 3 groups of people there, which was great! I can see this place getting insanely packed during the nights and weekends. You have to go up to the counter and order. You get a number and get to sit down where ever you want and they'll bring it to you. I don't particularly like that it's situated like this. It's kind of first come first serve with tables. I got chicken tacos and a soda for $16. It was a good little meal for me because I wasn't that hungry, but I feel like most people would want more and their menu isn't that big. I think it's a perfect spot for a mid day snack but wouldn't come when it's packed. read more

Great tacos, delicious drinks and a wonderful environment for the kiddos. I will definitely be back!

I'm not sure what is going on with customer service in the restaurant industry but it's really lacking out here. We decided since we were in the area that we were craving some good tacos so we decided to stop in for dinner and sat for 15 minutes while nobody acknowledged us no menus, no drink order, no I'll be with you in a minute nothing so by the time a server got to us asking what we wanted I just threw up my hands and walked out my advice for the owner retrain your staff in customer service that isn't how customers should be treated. read more

Amazing good food staff are kind and so relaxing and your kids can play around, I recommend coming here!!!

We love coming here as it is family friendly and the kids have space to play in the sand, be free from the table, but we make sure they are being respectful to other guests. It's amazing during the cooler months but nice they have misters during the hotter months. Most of their margaritas are pretty tasty, but the only dish I like there is the quesadillas. I would love to see better food quality and maybe mix it up with the food options! read more
