    2 Chicken Enchilada plate
    Alicia T.

    The food is really good, has good flavor. Plate came out hot. Great pricing for a 2 chicken enchilada plate. The service is friendly. They have a walk up to go window as well as separate entrance for dining in. Will come back!

    Loreto's Mexican Food is a true gem in Guadalupe, which has really cleaned up and transformed in recent years. This fast casual place is easily one of the best in the valley with fair prices. The staff was incredibly kind, and the food was fantastic. The carne asada was perfectly seasoned, and the tortillas tasted fresh and homemade. My wife had the carne asada quesadilla, and I went for the burrito--both were great. We're so glad we decided to try it out. There's patio seating outside and indoor seating as well, with the option to order from both sides. Give it a try, and you won't regret it!

    Great place, my wife and I were staying at The Grand and found Loreto's around the corner. After reading the reviews we decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint. The salsa was fresh and tasty. My wife got an Arizona burrito she said was good and I got the adobada burrito and it was great. We will definitely be back to try several of the menu items.

    Wow!!! I cook authentic Mexican food & this is the real deal. The regular salsa is amazing and so fresh tasting. We had the steak & egg burrito and a Loreto burrito (bacon, egg & cheese)... We loved every bite!

    Definition of hole-in-the-wall! A small space outdoors with about six tables indoors. I got the machaca plate, and for almost $10, you sure get a good amount of food. It seems to be standard for the area. The best part was the beans - not soupy or goopy at all! It comes with two hot tortillas, corn or flour, and I got flour. The rice was great. The meat was fine. I wish it was heavier on the machaca, but it was mixed with other things so you just get less meat than expected. Overall, decent spot to get some comfort Mexican food and fulfill that craving.

    Don't be fooled! This is how I received my food. I'm sick of this area. This is why I don't order from here!

    Pictures speak for themselves . I'm sick of this area. This I how I received my order. This is why I don't order food in Guadalupe. All of these restaurants are sloppy and careless!

    Loreto's is a great local family-run Mexican restaurant on the edge of Guadalupe. This is authentic and genuine Mexican food, I have only tried their excellent tacos, enchiladas, and burritos. Their prices have increased during the pandemic, but even then, I am glad that they stayed open throughout it all, and they are still more reasonable than most restaurants (see menu). I have never been inside the restaurant to sit down, but I have ordered take-out from them regularly. I would definitely recommend trying this place if you are looking for a genuine Mexican restaurant!

    I was looking for a quick spot for dinner that was in walking distance of my hotel (AC Hotel) and…read moredecided to try Taco Chelo based on their Yelp reviews. This restaurant is centrally located near the ASU campus and offers generous patio seating in addition to their indoor dining area. I was greeted upon entering and since I was dining alone I decided to sit at the bar. I didn't realize you were supposed to order at the register at the bar, but the bartender was kind and took my order from my seat at the bar instead. I started with chips and salsa, which came with guacamole but I'm not a fan so I didn't give it a try. The chips were perfectly cooked and seemed to be house-made or at least a high quality chip as they were thick and had a good salty flavor. The red salsa had good flavor but mild spice. The green salsa was bright and had a little kick to it. I wasn't super hungry, so I only ordered one chicken taco (without the avocado salsa). The taco was pretty good, although I was anticipating a chopped grilled chicken but it came with more of a pilled marinated chicken. Still good, just not what I expected from a more "authentic" taco. I also missed having a salsa bar with toppings (onions, pico, etc) that you can add. Instead these tacos came as designed by the chef. I also ordered the mango and original house margaritas, both were refreshing and hit the mark with the chips and tacos. They had a $5 margarita for a special as it was Monday, but my margarita was full price. Not sure what the difference was, perhaps a lower quality tequila? This is a great spot for a quick bite or a light happy hour. They are newer, so show some local support!

    I used to live in Phoenix, and I tried this place for the first time literally the same week I was…read moremoving to Denver. Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

It's quaint, never a wait, and it has become our family go-to. We always have wonderful service and great meals with freshly prepared ingredients. The shrimp dishes are incredible, remnant of Puerto Peñasco with shrimp that "pops" (if you know good shrimp, you know what I mean!) They have Negra Modelo on draught (hard to find that!), and their margaritas are delish. You can't go wrong with chimichangas or combo platters! They have moles on the menu but we typically opt for more traditional Sonoran style. If you are on the search for amazing traditional Mexican food in South Tempe - you found your spot!

So after clocking out I drove there and I was surprised it was right next to Kim Thao's Bakery. I had never seen this place until I got there. Inside, the ambiance gives a very authentic Mexican vibe with a lot of decor. I got the 3 cabeza tacos which was cow meat from the head. I wasn't hesitant in trying because why would I not? The tacos were really flavorsome. The meat combine with the toppings and lime made it seem like it was like any other beef taco. So after eating all 3, I ordered 3 more...After the first visit, I went back a different time to try their burritos. On the other hand, the burritos were very pricey...I ordered a beef tongue burrito which ran me about 20$....but, they are packed heavily. The beef tongue had a consistency like chicken which I like. But sometimes some of the meat had a rubbery texture. Everything I ate there was very delicious as I could taste the quality. I think this spot is authentic as it has great portion sizes however, I do think it can be pricey. Would I come here again? Yes, but just for the tacos. My next visit, I would definitely try the carnitas and cabeza tacos again. Overall, I rate this place a strong 7/10. sorry.

My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).
