    Saturday afternoon visit, the food was enjoyable overall. The nachos could have come with more guacamole and the cheese tasted very processed. The al pastor and carne asada tacos were good. The salsa bar makes it easy to choose from the various salsa options. The service was fine. The restaurant was not busy inside, many customers like myself got their food as takeout.

    Pay attention or you'll drive right by the location. It's located in a small strip mall - smallish parking lot where the asphalt is torn up. Solid fully stocked salsa/sauce and toppings bar with five different sauces. I had the California burrito - they give you your choice of meat and cheese (nacho or shredded mozzarella) which is atypical from my past experiences ordering a California burrito at other establishments.

    Let favorite place for tacos in the valley. Usually takes about 15-20 mins to get your order, but is always hot and fresh. They have a salad bar with all the good toppings and sauces on front where you order. Inside is always playing good music, and had a non and pop feel to it with a fair amount of seating and booths.

    Walking into this restaurant, my first impression was positive--the place is spotless, and the staff is warm and welcoming. They have a well-maintained salad bar for salsa and condiments, all neatly covered with lids, and even the restrooms were exceptionally clean. Given the glowing reviews, I had high expectations, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to them. My mother and daughter ordered the menudo, and both found it lacking in flavor. The carne asada torta was just okay--my husband noted that the meat was well-seasoned, but overall, it wasn't his favorite. The birria was generously packed with meat and stood out as the best dish we tried, but even then, it wasn't the best we've had. Would I return? Probably not. We sampled a variety of menu items, and none of them impressed us enough to justify the trip, especially since this spot is a bit out of the way. I don't mind driving for great food, but this one didn't make the cut. If you're in the area, it might be worth a try, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. While the cleanliness and friendly service were definite highlights, the food itself was a solid 3/5 at best. Note: the salsas were a disappointment The guacamole has no flavor and one the salsas was very tangy

    Big fan of the burros here. The birria one is fire. The quesabirria is also good, but I would say their specialties are burros, and maybe the vampiros too. They have cheap asada and al pastor tacos on Tuesday and Thursday as well! Place is always clean and the staff are always friendly. I will definitely keep coming back. Bring cash if you want to avoid a credit card up charge.

    There's a reason why this relatively nondescript looking Taqueria in North Phoenix is so popular. The food is really good, and you get a wide variety of choices. They have a good assortment of beverages, including one of the best horchata I've ever had. There's really good salsa bar, and you get a free cup of delicious frijoles if your order is over $10. Service is very friendly, and the prices are really good, especially considering the quality and quantity of the food.

    First off, the food is worth a visit. I will be back for more tacos. Lengua was my favorite. The birria combo was excellent as well. The consome, rice and beans all great quality and truly authentic. Salsa bar had tons of choices to please all clientele. The service was a bit lacking and we did need to ask multiple times for some missing food items and refill of some items that were empty on the salsa bar. Regardless for the food alone we will be back.

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.

Although the second time around, I favored the al pastor over the carne asada, which has incredible flavor. I love the crispy char, and you can't go wrong with the refreshing slices of pineapple. Don't forget hit up the sauce bar! My favorite is the orange salsa which is a creamier sauce that has a hint of heat. Love!

They make my tacos just how I ask every time I come, and I make changes! Most recently was last night after a rough rental car situation (avoid NU check those reviews eek) and the bartender was awesome. Quick service, friendly and took my order perfectly. Strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite and if you know me I'm a lemonade girl. Tacos are perfect, the meat has virtually no weird fat on them like most tacos do. Both carne and chicken. Delicious. I'm here for five days this trip and I'm going back for sure, may end up at the Tempe location too. I should mention the great atmosphere and getting I got, a "welcome in" from the ladies behind the counter as well as the bartender I wish I got his name. Thank you for making my night :)

Since this establishment offered various types of tacos, we tried a bit of different kinds and overall enjoyed the differences in taste and texture. Specifically, I thought the sonoran taco was very innovative as it involved two kinds of salsa to provide a color juxtaposition, which also offered the carne asada different experiences in flavor. I also enjoyed the costra taco which was made with caramelized cheese over it, offering a pleasant fried flavor on the tortilla itself. The barbacoa taco was very juicy since the beef was very well-made. In contrast, the carne asada taco was a bit dry for some reason, and relied on the avocado salsa for both taste and juiciness. The fish taco didn't have enough fish, and had a lot of batter around the fish along with excessive pickled onion pieces. Since this spot is located in a very nice area, the arts district, I would recommend it to anyone that's around the area. It'd be a nice lunch after visiting the Phoenix Art Museum, which is only a mile away from here!

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.

I felt like the carne was chewy but my husband loves chewier meat. The taco with the marlin was my favorite. And the one that came out kind of like a cheese crisp.
