    Street tacos (pastor top, carne asada bottom)
    Jessica S.

    This is my favorite close-to-home taco joint. It's a tiny place, but there's always a table when I pop in in-person. I see them dispatching a ton of to-go orders when I'm there, so I know they're staying busy, but I get the impression they're still being slept on. I'd like to call out a few highlights. Corn tortillas: we all know the tortilla is the keystone of a good taco, and their tortillas are my most favorite. They're soft, but sturdy enough to hold the generous amount of meat they give you. Flavor is out of this world. I could eat them every day. Carne asada: always on point. I don't think it's the very best in the valley, but any means, but it's consistently well seasoned and flavorful. Pastor: my personal fave. My stomach cannot support the number of pastor tacos I want to order every time I go there. Their frijoles and arroz are great, too. If you're looking for a new Mexican place in South Phoenix, this is the one.

    CARNE ASADA BURRITO
    Aja H.

    Yummy! Ordered the machaca burrito, green chili burrito and carne asada burrito. All of the burritos were very good and overly stuffed. I appreciated the homemade tortilla and the green sauce was amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of gristle in the carne asada burrito. The staff were very friendly and the inside is well kept. I really love mom and pop shops. Especially the ones that truly care.

    This place is FIRE. Customer service was good and very professional. We got our food pretty fast. My husband got the chimichanga plate and that thing was the size of my leg. I got the quesabirria tacos, so far it was the best I ever had. 10/10

    CHILAQUILES W/MEAT PLATE
    Jeff B.

    First time at Don Taco. It was a little place tucked behind Big-O tires. The inside was small with seven tables for four but they also had a steady stream of take-out orders as well. There was no music playing and a small TV in the corner, so it wasn't designed for aesthetics. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and there were five other parties. For a tiny spot, it was very popular. My wife ordered the Combo Hard Shell Tacos while I got the Chilaquiles with Beef. We added an order of Chips and Salsa. It all totaled $33.45. We were hoping to get the chips and salsa promptly but the emotionless cashier said: "I'll bring everything out to you." Sure enough, our entire order arrived in about 12 mins. The portions at Don Taco were no joke. Plenty of protein in their dishes. The flavors were okay but not the authentic flavors that other reviewers mentioned. The chips were actually the best part. No ambiance, mediocre service and so-so food: I'll stick with Fili-B's.

    Pozole
    Dee H.

    Ngl Coming from Cali but also a foodie that travels just for food I was a little nervous about this place. Haven't found much good food in Arizona yet however, I stumbled across this place. It was empty when we got here but I seen a big sign that said pozole! I also went ahead and tried the carne asada taco... NO BUENO. I tried the Pastor taco, it was OK! But let me tell you about the pozole... it was FIRE!!! This bowl saved them for me. I will be back just for a bowl of this for sure. Everything else I would go back to the drawing board.. anyway back to the pozole. Packed with flavor!!! Lots of meat, a great level of spice and not to mention all the meat was "TENDERNISM" if they can stay consistent with that, they have themselves a winner.

    Pozole

    Pozole is amazing, highly recommended. Super flavorful and came with the perfect sides. Great serving size too. Gotta try their other food, must be amazing too.

    Quesabirria, pastor and asada tacos

    Street tacos are so good! All 3 of the ones I got were delicious. The chips are also great. Service was incredible and they were quick too. Highly recommend!

Every time I come here it gets more packed, which is both annoying and completely understandable because the food is ridiculously good. The tacos are fantastic, the fries are life-changing, and the hongos fries specifically deserve their own national holiday. This place made the Top 100 food spots in America list, and honestly? Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

I recommend the asada, the hazz, the Lorenza, and anything with the beans. Order at the counter, they'll call your name when your order is ready, and the seating is casual and open. They have a selection of aguas frescos, but I usually like a classic bottled coke for the perfect beverage pairing.

This location is a standalone with a decent patio. Parking is minimal but seemed like there were enough people coming and going. I got a spot right away. Note when leaving you'll have to go right - heading North on 43rd. The staff here were really nice! It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.
