This has been one of our favorite places to go for a dinner craving, and we always enjoy the fresh salsas and chips as well as the rest of the flavorful food they have. The service is always fast and efficient and such kind workers who make you feel welcome from the time you are buying as well as the people servicing the tables are always great. Ambiance is always uplifting and gives that warm and welcoming feeling like they are glad to have you in. The only reason it falls short and we are unable to give 5 stars, is because 2 things have changed, firstly we were very disappointed when this recent visit, the food is now served in paper plates for a sit down restaurant making it feel like we not at a sit down dinner but rather that a food truck, secondly, the meat serving on the nacho fries felt like it had been cut down majorly, felt loaded with everything but hardly any meat compared to before and these were two things we noticed today which made us feel a little disappointed compared to the previous visits, don't get me wrong, flavors were still great and service was great just hope they can address those little things. read more

Dined-2.19.26: First time here. I had the Traditional Taco Plate (adobado) which includes four tacos on double corn tortillas so you can kinda double the amount of tacos. The have a salsa bar w/ various veggies and salsas to add to your meal. They do offer chips as part of the salsa bar. I prefer more authentic Mexican food spots vs franchises but it was a solid option for the convenience (and my friend picked the place). read more

Was a fun place and the food and atmosphere were great! They had dance music playing with the dj and music videos playing on their screens, and it felt like a Taco Party ! Taco Fiesta! Lol. I like how they have you grab your own chips, a big dispenser between the 2 soda machines. They also have a nice selection of sauces and toppings at a mini bar near the back of the restaurant, where the drinks & chips are. The food had great flavor and cost not too high, was a little over $30 for my wife and I. My wife's baked potato size was large and flavorful, not small and dry like a Wendy's baked potato. My charro beans were good too and our tacos were very flavorful. I had sirloin and adabo chicken in flour tortillas. My wife also had sirloin but barbacoa too and in corn tortillas as she prefers corn. All in all we had a fun experience with good flavor. Thanks! read more

Fresh chips and fresh made daily tortillas is the best thing about this place. Salsa & toppings bar. Side options: rice, beans, baked potato, and I think there was something else My hubby got the sirloin I got the fish and barbecoa Corn or flour - we got the flour! So cool they are making this fresh right there. The sirloin was good The fish- I got more fish in my taco than any fish taco in the valley. It even had a little kick in the batter. Not spicy, but I can feel my lips burning The Barbacoa - it looked fantastic and tasted good but mine was one big glob of fat. The food was ok not great read more

Only stopped in because Dennys lied about Melt sandwich shop. Just coming back from California, we stopped by cause I'm not familiar with the area. Food was ok and overpriced for fancy "carne asada" fries with hardly any carne asada or fries. The dish used tortilla chips as a filler and they gave free tortilla chips away. Had a way better and cheaper mexican street food experience in Cali. Expensive lesson learned. First and last time. read more

Oh boy! I was so excited to try this place at the recommendation of others. I specifically asked for corn tortillas for a sirloin and chicken taco. Because it was to go, I didn't bother to check until in the light, two flour tortillas. I told the man who took my order that this was an allergy. I was super disappointed with the chips as they were ladened with oil. I attempted to salvage the meat, but because the meats were hot (that's a good thing) the meats were already contaminated by the tortillas. The meat was dried out as I suspected because it was 30 minutes to closing, they were more concerned with clearing folk out. The restaraunt was clean. But the salsa bar was missing several sauces. Not sure I'll be back and again, if you have allergies, check out your order before you leave. read more

Used to be the best place to eat best carne asada tacos years ago, since they change new ownership , new ppl in charge are Colombians and flavor , quality are not the same, I asked about it my last visit there and they confirmed different meat , cheaper cut, which is the basics for a taco , and horchata which is also staple and they don't use any more the original ingredients, frijoles charros extremely salty and burnt, very disappointed, although corn tortillas still are delicious read more

This was my first time trying this place here in the valley. I walked in and it wasn't really busy. I stood at the counter waiting for someone to take my order, meanwhile an employee was standing in the corner on his phone, seemed like he was trying to hide but he was in plain view. The place was so dirty, with tables not cleaned and the floor was pretty bad too. & they have chips out in the open on this container for people to grab, which is good who doesn't love chips, but they're not monitored, a customer was getting some and coughing all over the place & on the salas too. The food was okay, kind of salty. I won't be trying this place. read more

I love Taco Tote! The food is delicious. This place is around 30 minute drive from me but whenever I'm on this side of town I always stop. The place has lots of seating and it's always clean. They have a super well stocked salsa bar with variety of salsas to choose from. They also have unlimited chips to go with your food. The best thing for are the hand made tortillas. You can see them being made right in front of going. I always get the tacos and they are always amazing. If you get the package/combo deal you get to choose from a variety of meats and sides. I always get sirloin and for the sides rice with refried beans. I haven't had a bad experience with the food is always amazing! I've come here random days and times and it is always busy (good thing!) Also the service is amazing. I've always had the manager come up to us and ask if everything is good and at times he even gets us refills or gets us napkins, whatever we need. Whenever we are done eating someone always comes and cleans up for us. I will definitely keep coming back. read more

Food was decent. Fresh made tortillas by hand. Not many vegetarian choices. They ran out of aguas frescas and only had orange crush in a can, I guess the soda machine was not working or they didn't have. read more

This was my second time trying taco tote and let me tell you the food is so tasty. The workers are always kind. I saw 2 managers that were extremely involved one was in the kitchen other was bringing food out! I love to see that. All the extra sauces, cilantro , onion , chips you get in your own but makes it better because you can get as much as you want in the little disposable trays they provide you. The salsa is good and the spicy ones even better! Don't worry if you don't like spicy they have salsa for you too (: my favorite is their taco packet, and also the quesadilla! Not sure what cheese they use but its amazing ! Lol definitely my fav. There is agua frescas but you have to show up earlier. We had shown up at 10 when they closed at 11 so if you want horchata go earlier than closing time for sure. Would I go again yes! Spanish ; Esta fue la segunda vez que pruebo el taco tote y déjame decirte que la comida es muy sabrosa. Los trabajadores siempre son amables. ¡Vi a 2 gerentes que estaban extremadamente involucrados, uno estaba en la cocina y el otro estaba sacando comida! Me encanta ver eso. Todas las salsas adicionales, cilantro, cebolla, que obtienes por tu mismo, pero lo hacen mejor porque puedes conseguir todo lo que quieras en las pequeñas bandejas desechables que te proporcionan. ¡La salsa es buena y las picantes aún mejores! No te preocupes si no te gusta lo picante, también tienen salsa para ti (: mi favorito es su paquete de tacos, ¡y también la quesadilla! No estoy seguro de qué queso usan, ¡pero es increíble! Jaja, definitivamente mi favorito. Hay agua fresca, pero tienes que venir antes. Nos habíamos presentado a las 10 cuando cerraron a las 11, así que si quieres horchata, ve antes de la hora de cierre, seguro. ¡Iría de nuevo, sí! read more

"A Mexican restaurant with Handmade Tortillas, Salsa Bar and Delicious Meat Marinade..." -El Taco Tote Phoenix The handmade tortillas were delicious and the salsa bar had a nice variety of salsas (about 8 different kinds), onions, and, pickled veggies. My favorite salsa is the tomatillo! My friend ordered the 3 Tacos Mixto Adobado for me. What threw me off was that they had cheese on them lol the menu says they have cheese on them, but I didn't know that until after the fact. When I got my plate, it was like, "Surprise! Cheese! On tacos...?!" I've never had "street tacos" with cheese on them before. So, it was quite the surprise. But, nonetheless, they were good! The only reason I'm giving them a 3 stars is because the tacos were extremely greasy. Greasy like leaking from the tacos, dripping from my hands & fingers, and needing about 10 napkins to clean up after myself. Idk about y'all, but the way my body works, greasy food does not do right by my body. I knew that after I finished those tacos, I was gonna be in some trouble lol but like I said before, the tacos were good. The marinade was tasty, the meat was cooked to perfection, and the tortillas were nice and crisp; and I liked the cheese on top, who would've knew! The service was exceptionally fast, and the cashier was very helpful and answered my questions. read more

What a disgusting food and so expensive!! The other day I went and ordered 3 tacos of carne asada in flour, they gave me hard tortillas and dry meat for $6 a taco.. I don't like these cheap taquerias charging as if they were gourmet. Que asco de comida y aparte cara!

Went to eat at this establishment with our service dog, dog was vested but we did not have his card. The person taking orders refused us because we didn't have his card. For this establishment I am providing you with the ADA guidelines for service dogs: "Staff cannot ask about the person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task". Normally if an establishment has an issue with our service dog we'll just leave but your employee was snotty and condescending. Your employee was out of line and in violation of ADA guidelines. I suggest training for your staff before you end up in court. read more

I ordered two Carne Asada tacos. I wouldn't recommend them. There was lots of chewy pieces (hard pieces of fat, tendon, etc). It wasn't soft fat either. It made it hard to eat the tacos and enjoy them. The salad bar was good. Plenty of salsa options. The interior was clean. The service was good, but at the end of the day, I would go down the street to Ta Carbon or elsewhere. read more

Customer service was 10/10 food came out fresh and brought to my table, they have a self serve stand where you can get salsa, lemon, pepinos, and different sides everything was fresh and tasty I got guacamole sauce, green and red very good a bit spicy, but complimented very well in my tacos with lemon in there as well, carne asada was pretty good crispier would've been nice, but that's a personal preference and doesn't take away from it being good, the chicken taco was okay again I personally like mine cooked a bit longer, but that's okay was very soft and juicy not bad at all, and last, but not least the rice it was pretty good actually very soft and fresh as well one of the freshest I've seen, overall this restaurant was good and very clean and also convenient with outlets as I made a pit stop here on the way home to charge up, if your in the area stop by and try it one of the better options on this corner! read more

Food: amazing! I haven't had a problem with the taste and quality of the food here! Service: LACKING! I ordered 3 combo plates that come with a drink and when I walked away the host (listed as TIRSO on the receipt) forgot to give us the cups. When I asked my boyfriend to go back and ask for them the same host argued with my bf saying that he gave them to me. Now, anyone with common sense would know that if he did in fact give those cups to me, then I wouldn't be asking for cups. WHY would I want more? So my bf and him had some back and forth and he finally gave us the cups. Then he proceeds to walk over where we are and checks if we had the other cups. I didn't realize cups there are so scarce. On top of that, he got our order incorrect. I really liked this place but after that interaction I'll take my business elsewhere. Overall this situation could've been handled much differently but old boy was PRESSED lol tragic. read more

We came all the way from California and my brother took us to the place and we were quite impressed! The food was great! We ordered the dinner taco set, where we built our own tacos which was more like a burritos. Their salsa bar was the best I've ever seen. They actually had pico de gallo not just watery salsa, pickled purple onion, jalapeño, cucumbers, and literally anything that would make your tacos exquisite. We loved the quesadilla and the nacho fries. We wished there were more fries and less nachos. They also have endless chips for your pico or guacamole. I love this place and would definitely come back the next time I'm in town. read more

The Carne Asada was really good, it reminded me of street food back at where my hometown was before. The service was great, I enjoyed how fast they were able to make my family's food. The ambiance was fine, it was quiet since my family arrived late (about when they were closing), but this is the BEST Mexican restaurant I've been to in AZ so far. In a summary, it was fantastic! :) read more

great location with tacos that can't complete with a hundred other places in Phoenix. went for lunch today, tacos fell apart in my hand, meat is chewy, rice and beans just ok, and all for close to $20, one and done. read more

The food here is SOOOOOOO good! I went last week on Thursday and the special was 3 tacos; I chose carne asada. Everything was really fresh and, even though they didn't have their salsa bar in use, I was able to get the pickled onions and dark red salsa that I like. Super spicy and delicious! I will definitely be going back for more taco specials! read more

My husband and I went here for the first time today and was disappointed. We drive by this place daily and always wanted to try it. My husband ordered the chili rellano plate and was not happy. The rice was all dried out and had no flavor. He said the beans tasted like they came out of a can. The chili rellano itself was good. I ordered the two taco plate with potato and my two tacos were chicken and barbacoa. There wasn't a lot of substance to either taco. The chicken was good however the barbacoa looked terrible in the tortilla. It actually looked like a cow patty but tasted good. The best part of this whole place was the salsa bar. The guacamole salsa is outstanding and I poured it on everything even my potato. The hand made tortillas were absolutely delicious and combined with the guacamole salsa was yummy. It's rather expensive for what you get but that's only my opinion. read more

Food was great. But do park your car there. It will get towed. Happened to me and my son today. We were having lunch and during that time the car was towed by R&M towing. I had to pay 120.00 to have the car returned. It is a illegal scheme. read more

The location is right next to GCU by Lam's market. I ordered the soft shell tacos (fish and the pork) and I wasn't a huge fan. The battered fish tasted a little bit burned, and the pork was alright - nothing special. I've had way better tacos elsewhere. Also the photos on the menu had toppings on it, but the restaurant just has it plain (although there's a place where you can get the toppings yourself). I wish I would have known though so I could have ordered something else. Also when you check in to the place, it says you can have a coupon for a free bean and cheese burrito when you purchase a drink but the guy didn't order it since he hasn't heard of Yelp before.. Maybe they should let their employees know of the promos they have. read more
