You pull in to the drive way and in the back you will find parking and you can do pick up or eat in: they have large coolers going so that you get some cool air. The restroom was a little scary and looks like it isn't fully done but at least there is one. The carne asada is for sure the star dish. It was seasoned beautifully. The costillas were also very good. Staff is super friendly and they give you a complimentary try of their asada. They bring all the toppings to your table and the aguas are really good too. We will definitely be back. Salsa were a ok and the birria and tongue were also ok but the asada, tripas and costillas are worth coming back

Dos Gordos scratched that itch for me, and it's only a hop, skip, and a jump away from my home. South Phoenix and Laveen don't have a ton of great casual dining options, but this small business is a great place to grab a bite. Situated in a strip mall, this restaurant in a corner unit has a cool layout and a fun interior. It reflects the owners' love for Mexican culture. There are lots of seats inside, and a great little patio for when the weather is nice. They have a solid menu with enough variety to satisfy all your cravings. Their carne asada breakfast plate is an all-time favorite for me, but this last time was a budget trip, as mentioned before. I had a couple $5 margs that hit the spot and stimulated my appetite. I opted for the hard shell tacos. They weren't actually fried, which was a bummer, but were they good? After two margaritas, YES. (And probably after zero margs.) My dining mate opted for nachos and they were delicious. I was particularly impressed that they didn't skimp on the toppings at all. They were loaded and super affordable. The service is always great here, and the value makes it worth it. If you're thinking about stopping in, I encourage you to give them a try.

This place is very bright and clean and is a counter service shop so you order, they make your food and sit to eat. Tacos are basically $4 a piece but they are bigger than your regular taco and they don't have any burritos on their menu. We order the Al pastor and asada with everything on it. Al pastor was a hit but the asada was super salty. The salsa they put on the asada taco was the culprit. Probably won't get the salsa next time.

I usually get the barbacoa tacos and horchata. The meats are cooked to perfection and I have to fight the temptation of taking more tacos home with me to go because they are so good.

I think the only difference between #1 and #2 is #2 has a food truck for mariscos and tierra; #1 only has tierra. My go to has always been a cabeza burrito and horchata. I never get any salsa because the burrito itself is pure amazingness- lots of flavor, lots of meat and toppings. The horchata is a massive jug. Not the best for someone with "the beetus" but it's a solid drink. This La Frontera has a more difficult parking situation - maybe 10 spots total right off 35th Ave (not Lincoln). If none of those are available you could probably street park along Lincoln. It's definitely a busy lunchtime spot during the week- so timing your arrival is key for parking. Have never been steered wrong here and the staff are always pleasant and smiles.

Yelp ratings are still not great, but I read some of the one-star reviews and they sound like a-holes who love to complain. The cabeza tacos are decent.

I'm not entirely sure what was on it. They asked, "Everything on it?" and I always say yes. Whatever it is they think should be on it, that's the way I want it. So glad I did because it was delicious. Several chunks of fat in the meat, but the overall flavor made up for it.
