Fire! Most meat I've ever had in a quesobirria taco! They have great flavor and fill you up! The consume is delicious and the sauces add some flavor! Not the greatest parking situation but it's worth it to grab some food. It's in a market that has so many options it's a little overwhelming but at least there are options! read more

So I was very confused when I was looking places for "huge burrito" because there are 2 listings for El Paisano and both are close to each other. I followed Tesla and it took me to the location on Apache so I was first (again) confused bc there is no parking but since it was Sunday I just parked in the red while I went in quickly to order. It's a very nice, clean liquor/ convenience store/ quick Mexican bite spot. I just for the El Paisano steak burrito with everything in it. I was very surprised, for the price ($17) it was a big burrito and I enjoyed all the flavors of the toppings in it, I've never had banana peppers in my burrito before! But mostly THE STEAK is actually super delicious. Like, I think from now on I'll just get a side of the steak by itself. Nowadays I feel like the protein is what sets places apart. Oh, their other location is on rural by that Taco Bell, in case you didn't want to illegally be in the red zone :) read more

El Paisano - El Paisano Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

It was We received service from Manuel, and he was amazing so patient and welcoming, especially since it was our first time at El Paisano. The menu has a great variety. I ordered the fish taco, shrimp taco, and two carne asada tacos, and everything was delicious and very generous in portion size. My daughter got the birria tacos, which came with consommé on the side such a nice touch. I also loved that they offer toppings so you can customize everything to your liking. The ambiance, very hip . Prices are great for the amount and quality of food you get. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! So good!! read more

Solid burrito and late night after some drinks, it would be delicious. Got the California burrito with steak and el pasianito with chicken. Both massive! Good flavor all around.

Went there with kids late Saturday night. The restaurant was full. The staff took the order and was really quick to cook the meat and chicken. You can order what is on the menu or completely build your own bowl or burrito. Everyone was very pleasant. The restaurant although crowded was very clean. The food we got was very well spiced and full of flavor. The portions are huge. The restaurant is halal. read more

El Paisano Nachos (steak) were huge and delicious. The steak had great flavor and lots of topping options. Quesabirria tacos were so good, too. Cheesy, meaty, and plenty of drippings for dipping. Fast/casual atmosphere with modern Latino music. Staff was helpful and fast. read more

Food quality is alright, but I'd be careful, I got food poisoning my second time there.

This place brings back memories of the first time I've had carne Asada fries I fell in love with my favorite dish again and I got to pick my toppings! The guy behind the counter loaded my plate up! Customer service was great and the restaurant was clean and had a great vibe 10/10 would go back anytime just for this plate and would highly recommend it for everyone to try! read more

A good place to go to late at night because they're open till late. The prices are good because they give big portions.

Fantastic and quick Mexican food open late at night! Always get extra avocados. Yummy.

The cashier up front was extremely helpful, kind, and welcoming. The staff here are quick, efficient, and attentive to their craft. This place can get busy since it's right nearby ASU but this is a business that knows its regulars. Their quesabirrias are amazing and consommé is to die for. For anyone on an adventure looking for the next best taco, this place should be on your bucket list. read more

Food was great. I had it for the first time and I ordered the quesa birria tacos and elote cup. My ONLY complaint which was a turn off was the amount of hair I found in my food. It was about 6 different strands. I would've loved to give 5 stars but I am not sure it is quite up there yet. read more

I love food here so so much! Their price is good, service is good like everyone is super friendly, and they keep this place super clean- I can see from outside how they cook and how clean their cooking area is, and the food is like muah! So good! Usually I'd go for birria tacos only, but this time I got a birria taco and a double chicken burger, and they were so yum. I can't say enough how good their birria taco is, but this chicken burger is something. Patty tastes more like a giant chicken nugget, which I really liked it! Can't wait to go back! read more

I have been craving Carne Asada fries and we looked everywhere that was open late and ran across this place!! We drove 45 minutes in hope that is would be delicious and it was!! When you walk in you are greeted by the nicest employees ever! The menu is huge and has something everyone would like. My wife got to birria tacos and the meet is very tender and flavorful but a little different texture than traditional birria. I got the carne asada fries and you basically tell them how much of each item that you would want on the fries. The fries were amazing and the meat was flavorful as well. The asada was more of a ground beef texture; which was not what I expected but was still good. All of the toppings were very fresh, the restaurant was very clean and the prices were very affordable! They have a huge menu selection and a ton of seats. It is right off Mill so it is busy which is expected being downtown by a college. read more

Better than I expected. Since this place was open. After hours. I didn't have high expectations. But Lord have Mercy. They prove me wrong. Absolutely delicious. I can't describe how delicious this was. The meat was so tender and savory. The cashier was absolutely adorable. And Sweet. There was a gentleman there. Who was. I think Eric was absolutely sweet. So I would say this is a 10 out of 10. At least for my Experience. There was one girl that was there. No was a little darker skin who had a nasty attitude when he tried to involve her in a conversation we were having but other than that it's not gonna take away from the great experience. I had with everyone the food was Los Ángeles California approved. Cause y'all know we have the best food out there, so yes, yes yes to this 10 out of 10 bravo. read more

Well besides for the burritos being large, nothing was too good inside this mess. California Burrito - everyone but this place knows this should include guacamole, so this is a fake California burrito. At 10 bucks, I'm not paying extra either. French Fries - were sitting in the basket, cold, greasy and limp. Chicken - was put on the grill, but not for long and ended up Luke warm in the burrito. Also, way to much meat...it's not midnight and I'm not drunk. Doesn't appear to be a Mexican place (middle eastern?)...so that is also false advertising. read more

Pro-tip: Only street parking - don't bother driving up the parking garage nearby because it's all reserved for the apartment complexes nearby. Highlights: I cannot believe the value you get especially if you order the burrito bowl. They load it up so much and it's $10 for 2-3 meals. They have a lot of different things you can add into the bowl. Lowlights: You'll have to find street parking which is a pain at such a busy part of Tempe. I wasn't crazy about the way they prepared the meat. If it's your first time, it's not really straightforward that it's like chipotle where you can customize what to put it your burrito or bowl if you don't order a set item on the menu. read more

El Paisano - Burrito Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Average "Mexican" food. Think Filiberto's with more customization/options. I was underwhelmed by the carne asada fries which I had really been looking forward to. Prices have gone up since the pictures posted; bf reported the carne asada fries were $9.99. The single, small fish taco was $2.50. Still affordable, just a FYI. The carne asada fries were loaded with toppings, to be fair. The box could barely shut! However, the "carne asada" was massively disappointing; it was not true, grilled carne asada and resembled ground beef more closely; unseasoned ground beef. It was also the least topped topping. The red salsa tasted like Pace canned salsa; not spicy in the least, and not fresh. The spicy guacamole was included (not an extra charge) and was probably the best part about the carne asada fries. Order them if you are hungry, drunk, or care about quantity more than quality. The fish taco was on the smaller side of street tacos; it was no longer than my index finger. Albeit small, the fish was fresh (and dry). Overall I won't be frequenting El Paisano with the abundant options nearby. read more

The best place to visit in all of Tempe. yall should definitely get the chicken tenders here. IT IS AMAZING. #ferda

came in after finding online. the restaurant is pretty small, but spacious. we ordered quickly at lunchtime on sunday. i ordered the Takis burrito with steak, cilantro, lettuce, jalapeno, and the medium and spicy salsa( no cheese, no queso). the burrito itself was massive, but lacking everything!!! maybe the queso makes it? the man that made my burrito said, "wow, thats going to be super spicy.....". NOPE, not spicy at all. the supposed super spicy green salsa was very watered down, no heat, really honestly no flavor at all. we tried the 4 salsas- one tasted like pizza sauce, the chunky green one was like a sweet green tomato sauce, and the rest watered down, no heat, no zip, no flavor; depressing!! my husbands fajitas were ok too. nothing to be wowed over, wont drive the 50 min to go back. oh ya, bring a plate with you too, because the burritos are messy, and all you git to eat it on is a foil. read more

We came here after reading reviews but the asada was not true asada. I am not sure if it was the way it was cut or cooked but it is not asada like we are used to. I think it does well for ASU students but for a family looking for tacos, it was a big MISS. We had friends with us and they liked the Taki tacos and Dorito tacos. read more

Greatest burritos in the world and the friendliest staff of any restaurant I've been to. El P's is my favorite restaurant ever and I went here nearly every day when I went to ASU. Every person I've brought here over the years has loved it. I don't live in AZ anymore but this place is a must visit anytime I'm in town read more
