just now #1- I walked away feeling like an unvalued guest. #2- not only were the employees rude to me, I watched them be rude to other guests. All of which, including myself, were understanding and polite to the employees. #3- the systems receipt printer broke down or something along those lines. Which I understand and have personally dealt with from the restaurant operations perspective, so I get it. However, it was handled poorly and it was disappointing. Nobody made sure everyone's orders were taken care of. Several of us were waiting around for someone to notice we were still waiting for our orders and confused with all the chaos. I waited a total of 25 minutes before I made the decision to ask if they even had my order in the back or not. Turns out the kitchen did not have my order. The front staff then had to find my receipt in the system. When they took my order they asked if I wanted my receipt and I said uh no it's all good. Less paper trail and less contact with others with covid happening. When it came down to it I sure wish I had my receipt. Would've made it a whole lot easier. Once we told them about our order it took the kitchen less than 10 minutes to make it. The food is great and the kitchen seems to know what they are doing. Its lack of management and a front staff that care to know what they are doing and what is happening around them. The guests are their responsibility and they seemed like it was the last thing on their radar. Two employees were just chit chatting while they were clocking out while another employee was getting on the clock but super slowly. No care in the world for what is happening with the guests all standing around. Then the cherry on top of it all, when I did finally walk up to the counter the girl who was working looked at me and then blew me off to ask the employees if anyone wanted anything from Starbucks... she sure seemed like she was on the clock so it caught me off guard. She was JUST speaking with and taking care of the guest in front of us. #4- the sauces- I've been a loyal guest since I moved here years ago and before all the covid it was easy to get the sauces and limes. Now, very understandably, they are behind the counter. Which is totally fine but when I asked for the 7 sauces very specifically for over a dozen tacos, she nodded her head and put four in. Turned her back to me. Might I add, this is when the employee should be saying thank you, or apologizing for the wait and chaos or something but no? Turned her back to me. I said "excuse me, can I please get two more green sauces?" And she started explaining something about how she can't give me anymore than what she did. I was ready to say please, I'll pay whatever but after waiting all this time for these tacos, the least I want is to make sure I have enough sauce. I will admit I like my sauce, again willing to pay if need be but for her to completely ignore my clear request and not politely explain the new policy whatever that might be is beyond me. There is no customer service here. As the other employee who knew I was already frustrated, she stepped in and said give her the sauces. And so they did. Thank you to that one girl for at least being aware enough to step in. #5- dress code? I want to add here that I am 30 years old, I'm not a conservative and I get the whole being hip and "in" look but sometimes I am shocked at what these girls are wearing. I am also a woman and don't mean to just pick on the girls but it's all I've really seen ever work the front area. I've seen bottoms of butt cheeks, nipples, bottom of boobs hanging out of belly shirts. Today the girl was wearing a top that was as big as a bra, with no bra, and her boobs about to fly out. She walking around more worried about her chest showing than she is about the guests experience. It really just surprises me more than anything. Needless to say, i used to be a loyal guest. I love love love my street tacos but it looks like I'm on the search for another one. I won't be back there for a long long time. read more

The food is really good, and the place has gotten more and more crowded in the last couple years, as more people discovered this restaurant. I still think the tacos here can be the some of the best I've had in Phoenix, but last year the meat went from being the mouth-watering best you've ever tasted, to a little unreliable, like someone else here observed. It's the quality of the meat that really sets street tacos apart. I used to eat here once or twice a week, but the crowds and long lines, especially on taco Tuesday, sort of dampened my enthusiasm. I would recommend the carnitas street taco combo, with the beans and rice that are notably good, but also almost too salty and rich. The bowls are a bit healthier and fresher. read more

Love the veggie tacos here! Been here several times and love the service and food. Great food!

Good food... absolutely horrible customer service!! Placed order over the phone for pickup. Got home and was missing a part of my order for starters! Went back to get my food with receipt in hand and was approached by an employee as if I was lying about my order. Employee claiming she packed it in and that I wanted free food. I was shocked to be accused of doing something like this! So I declined the food and received a refund. I will NOT be returning for this reason. Their are plenty of great foods places in the area which it shouldn't be a problem for LT to be replaced. read more

First time here and I really enjoyed it. The service was quick and friendly. We ordered the 3 pastor tacos meal and asada,carnitas, and fish tacos. All the tacos had great flavor, but the asada was underwhelming. I will definitely return for the carnitas and to try some other menu items. read more

This is a great hole in the wall family owned Mexican restaurant. I have not had a bad thing on the menu. Their street tacos are some of the best. You can choose the type of meat you want in them. You can even get all three in the combo different. The Torta is awesome and the burritos are mouth watering. Service is great. It gets a little cramped waiting for your order because the place is really that small. The prices are good too. Sure there isn't a dollar menu but who needs one when the food is this good. Dollar menus are for places with horrible food. It can get packed around lunch time so be warned. Calling you order in will save on time if you only have an hour for lunch. I have been going here for years and will keep coming back. read more

Los Taquitos - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My coworkers go to Los Taquitos for the women, I go to Los Taquitos for the tacos. Specifically, the hard shell tacos. They are literally the best hard shell tacos I have ever had in my entire life. Carne asada, chicken, fish, it doesn't matter, they're all delicious and incredibly flavorful. There is nothing glamorous at all about this place. Strip mall location, plastic tables and silverware, whole nine yards. That said, the food really is fantastic and the price is right. I usually get out of there at lunch somewhere between $6-$8 and I aint mad at that. Just do yourself a favor and don't go during the week their episode airs on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network as the line is out the door. read more

What I was thinking on the way to los taquitos: "I hate that Guy Fieri. What a jerk. First of all, he pronounces his last name all Italian, and I am 100% certain that he pronounced it like a full on american all his life until he made it on Food Network. Then, he gets to drive around and taste greasy food all day. Plus, he looks high as a kite sometimes on air, which probably makes the food even better. Anywhere from 1-4 reasons to be jealous/annoyed with the guy, depending on who you are." Also: "I wish God would smite Beyonce. Her songs are the most annoying songs I've ever heard. If there were a way for her to get smacked into permanent silence, I'd be all for it." And: "I can't wait to eat at this place. Street tacos sound delish. Where is it? Wait--this looks like a residential neighborhood. Where the hell am I?" Ultimately I find the place and go in. There's some floozy outside with a huge rack--only pertinent because she ended up being an employee. Well I guess it isn't really pertinent then, either. Anyway, I'm *wanting* to like this place. I long to be able to say that I went to a place today and ate food that tasted like pureed happiness. I want to give this place five stars and brag right and left that this is the place to be. But I don't. The service was good--the girl was nice (bc of an earlier review I was expecting the worst) and she told me the street tacos were the way to go. I got the three tacos, one chicken, one carnitas, one steak (asada). Plus rice and beans. On corn tortillas. And I got a sexy-looking bottle of coke. When the food came out, I was devastated. Where my three tacos should have been, I had three walniut-sized excuses for tacos. Where my beans covered in mexican cheese should have been, I got beans covered in an afterthought of some white cheese (which isn't what I wanted. Sue me). Where my rice should have been there was rice. 1 for 3. The street tacos all tasted ostensibly the same. That punk Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on Food Network made it sound like I'd wet myself with glee upon eating the carnitas, and the lady making the batch acted like they'd be good enough to keep part of the recipe a secret. They aren't. That recipe should be open source for sure, so that maybe someone can come along and improve it. I certainly could. Anyway--maybe it was because he was high as a f*&^ing kite but the food did not taste like magic, it tasted like hot sauce. And I am all for hot sauce--I'll bitchslap a habanero or two, no problem. But the issue is that whatever I ate, it tasted like only the hot sauce. I added green sauce--still the same flavor. I wanted to be wowed, but instead I thought, "Meh. I've experienced better." Which is why you see two stars here. In fact, I don't blame Los Taquitos for doing what they do. Whatever is fine by me. But now I kinda wanna slew-foot Guy Fieri just that little bit more for telling me that this place was so good. If you're gonna tell the world what's delicious, don't smoke out first, because I've been there and eaten a piece of my cat's litter and it tasted pretty decent to me at the time. Hardly a reliable indicator of a culinary masterpiece. A couple of disclaimers: I don't hate Guy, I have no idea if he smokes out, I'm not judging him or you, stoner. But I am judging that very average set of tacos. read more

My g-chat status has been set to "Los Taquitos FTW!" for about three weeks now. No, not because I am too lazy to change it, because I pretty much eat Los Taquitos every single day. If you are a follower of mine, you have probably learned by now that I have an obsessive personality, especially when it comes to food. The problem is, it is SO good here I JUST CANNOT STOP. I cannot eat the a-la-carte Chile Relleno anymore (not vegan), but it is so freaking good and I really wish I could. My friend recently got it in burrito form and I think it was true love. Dallas G. loves the bean burrito with a little guac on the side. There is something about their beans that make you salivate just thinking about them. But, here is what just makes my soul sing: The three hard taco combo. I get it with beans (no meat) and no cheese, and add pico. I get all beans with no cheese on the side. I lather that ish up with the green sauce, and suddenly all is right in the world. The clock just struck 8:30am... guess what that means? That's Right! TACO TIME! read more

This might be my first one star. The food was decent, but the experience far outweighs the food. On a Sunday morning around 11:30am, it took them 35 minutes to get us our food. It was busy, but nothing out of the ordinary. There were plenty of tables open. This is a walk-up and order so it boggles my mind how they weren't prepared. So, poor experience there and then I just checked my credit card statement and they charged me twice for 2 different amounts, totaling $50. Our total order was $22. Not only did I waste a ton of time waiting for my food, but now I have to call them back to fix this. Maybe it was a one-off, but I can't give them the benefit of doubt with 2 big screw-ups. read more

This restaurant was not my favorite. We visited this restaurant when we traveled to Arizona this summer for a family reunion. After seeing it on the Food Network my expectations were a little high. First of all, the camera angles made me think the restaurant was big when it was about the size of a Subway restaurant. We almost had to leave because there were no seats available. There were about 8 of us and we did not want to have to take our food to go. Fortunately, two tables ended up leaving and we were able to sit down. I got the three taco meal. I guess I should have realized that "hot sauce" meant hot but I was just thinking "oh it'll be a little spicy" NO! I took maybe two bites and couldn't finish. I had to trade food with my niece, I ate her quesadillas which were pretty good and she didn't seem to be phased by the hot tacos. I definitely was not satisfied when I left, I basically ate off of everyone else's plates. If I ever return to Phoenix, I probably won't be back here. There are several restaurants in Atlanta that are Food Network worthy, in my opinion this was not. The customer service was very good, the ladies were very nice and excited that we mentioned the food network. read more

One bite and I was transported back to the crowded streets of Monterrey. I could almost smell the exhaust of the vochos and hear the distant conversation of the local policia extorting their prescribed mordida. Quite simply, this is the taco as the way it was intended by its creators. The pure and unadulterated classic enjoyed by the Mexican working class. What Pomo is to pizza, this place is to tacos. Authentic...absolutely authentic. read more

Holy frijoles, Los Taquitos is like a lunchtime fiesta! I raced over on my work break to meet my Yelpmigos, the place was packed with wall to wall people. Crunched for time & it being my first visit I didn't order much, quesadilla con jalapenos & a diet coke. The cashier tried to warn me they'd be hot, they must have grown them in the pits of hell because I think they scorched my tongue! My quesadilla was good, hot yes but the peppers were tasty & fresh so I'd order them again! My food came out fast, and everyone's food disappeared just as quick as it appeared! I'll definitely be back, the food is good, the service is friendly and fast, it's also been Guy Ferrari tested and yelper approved! read more

Los Taquitos - Guy tested, yelper approved! - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is definitely one of my favorite Mexican places to visit when I'm back home from school. I usually get a marinated pork burrito with red sauce on top, and it is absolutely delicious. It's spicy and tastes extremely authentic considering that this restaurant is located in Ahwatukee. It's a nice little hole-in-the-wall place that is especially great for pick-up orders. read more

For metropolitan Phoenix this is a great joint. I had the asada burrito bowl which was quite filling. Lots of people ordered burritos and tacos. Also they have $1 Taco Tuesday's all day. Come early this place was packed at 11:30am. read more

Amazing. Great food. Great service. Yummy. Has become my new favorite place. I can't wait to try everything on the menu.

Living in Scottsdale and commuting to Chandler for work everyday, I think I have eaten from the nices Latin restaurants (Distrito) to the hole in the ground (yes, not wall) ones. Los Taquitos has to be my favorite of all from top to bottom. Walking in, I got the feeling I was in San Luis RC or Rocky point joint. There's enough seating for a lunch crowd and a few outdoor seats when it gets crowded (or too cold inside). I ordered the Combo plate which came with three meats, beans, and rice. I also got a side salsa, and I made a quick grab for the usual red salsa in a bottle. The three meats were flavorful and distinct. I liked the beef which had a nice char to it. The beans were the usual, but the rice was amazing. It looks normal, but it was buttery, soft, and melted in your mouth. The side salsa they give you is also a standout. It was very fresh with a hint of sweetness to it which I'm wondering if it could be a pickled melon? Hands down it's the place to go when I get a craving for Mexican food in the East Valley. read more

Service 5 Food 3 Cleanliness 3 Atmosphere 3 Value 4 Pros: Good value Quick Service Cons: Little Greasy Was trying to find somewhere close to eat and landed here. I had seen it on DDD before but have learned that doesn't mean great food.. just.. interesting food. I have no real complaints. The service was quick, the prices were low, the food was decent. The whole experience was just above average. With so many other great places in the valley I an unlikely to make a return visit anytime soon. Onto the food: Chile Relleno: The sauce was great, the breading held up pretty well. It was slightly undercooked so the pepper was still very stiff. Had to hack away at it with a plastic knife to cut a piece. As usual it was filled with cheese.. and unusually filled with diced potato. This was a new one and I'm not sure what it really added to the dish. Initially I thought maybe just extra filler to cut down on the cheese needed, but there was plenty of cheese. Good but far from the best. Hard Shell Tacos: This place is known for its street tacos. So just stay away from the hardshells. You'll be glad you did. Street Tacos: Carne Asada: There was a lot of bold seasoning going on here. Street tacos are notoriously two/three bite'ers so I didn't really get to break it apart. If I went back I think I might get a burrito to really get a good amount of the carne. I sometimes worry when things are so obviously heavy seasoned that they may be covering something up. Al Pastor: Very strong citrus flavor. Almost like the marinade was made with fresh juice that had been cooked down and condensed. It was very salty and pretty greasy. Carnitas: Not to bad.. Had a decent flavor but again was a little over salty/greasy. Rice: Decent Beans: Really liked these. They were very rich and creamy but still with some whole bean texture. I'm not sure they can taste that good without lard but I suppose its possible. I've never been afraid of lard anyway ;) Cheese Quesadilla: Flour tortilla filled with mexican white queso. Was decent but nothing to super special. Green Salsa: Bold, spicy, and very heavy tomatillo flavor. Red Salsa: I liked this one. It was a good combo of smokey, spicy, and a hint of sweetness. The smokiness I'm sure came from a heavy dose of chipotle. read more

Could not have been happier that they were open cinco de drinko! I'm always down for a chile relleño burrito or a bombero burrito. Plus, any authentic Mexican place KNOWS to have Fanta on the soda machine. They have this on lock. Great job guys! read more

I heard about this from DDD, but I wasn't going to hold that against it. This place is fantastic having delicious food and reasonable prices. What more could you ask for? They have the best Chile Reno Burrito I have had in the area. I order it enchilada style since they have great sauce. The tortilla is soft and fresh made wrapped around a chile reno, rice, and potatoes. It is fantastic. They have red and green sauce for all their food get extra green sauce, it's spicy and addictive. The tostadas are really good as well if you want something crunchy to go with your tacos. The staff are always friendly and the food comes out pretty quick for how busy they always are. It's a pretty small place so it can fill up at busier times, but you can always get it to go and it's still just as good. Try - Chile Reno Burrito - Green Sauce - Tostadas - Veggie Tacos - Ask for the habanero Salsa read more

Seriously the best street tacos/burritos North of the border. DO NOT spend another $ at Taco Bell, Del Taco, Macayo's, On the Border,Burrito Co.-NOWHERE! Why would you when this gem sits neatly tucked into a local strip mall?! For $5-$8 you can have the most authentic Mexican food around. Family owned, and operated by the "sisters" -Watch the Diners Drive ins and Dives Food network show, it ROCKS! Peek through the pick up window and watch everyone feverishly chopping, stewing, and griddle-ing EVERYTHING. Carnitas-Bomb! Carne Asada-Wicked good. Chicken-Superb. Homemade Habanero sauce is on FIRE! So are their other sauces(red or green in your own squirt bottle). Only complaint is layout of the place, when it's busy you'll see. 50% of the restaurant's seating area are for separate boys/girls restrooms. They need a remodel, but that won't stop me from becoming the Duke here. read more

MmmMm! I love this place. They have wonderful food. Although if you come here during a lunch or dinner rush be prepared to wait because this place gets super busy and crowded but it's so worth the wait. I got their tacos and some chips and salsa and guacamole. Omg, so delicious. I can't wait for the chandler location to open so I can try them for lunch when I'm working, yay!! Also I absolutely love the art work they did to the inside, it's very SoCal and makes me feel like I'm back in San Diego. Very very good, I will keep coming back! read more

This is my fave taco place , I love taco Tuesday ! Everyone is very friendly and the food is always yummy!

This place has amazing street tacos! Anyone who says different has never been to Mexico and ordered "taquitos" from a cart on the street and so they don't know what they are supposed to taste like. + Yes, they are supposed to be small. + No, they are not supposed to be crunchy + No, they are not supposed to have sour cream or cheese on them + If you think they are dry or need more flavor, that is when you add hot sauce, squeeze some lime on there, or add in some spicy carrots or garnish with cilantro, cabbage or radishes. Just like when you get a hot dog off the street in New York City, you can add toppings to your liking... However, I believe that the way they serve these tacos here is perfect and they should be eaten as is. I have tried each kind and depending on the type of meat they have it marinated/cooked with different seasonings and topped with a different salsa that compliments the meat perfectly. The rice and beans that come with the combo plate are also very authentic Mexican home-style cooking. I sampled the flan and I can say that it is definitely homemade though I didn't think it was that good. It is also a big plus that they serve Menudo and Posole all day long, even on weekdays. I have not tried the soup but my hubby says the Menudo is as good as his mom's so that is saying something. Prices are also very reasonable. And the service was pretty good for an order-at-the-counter type place. The only reason I am not giving the restaurant 5 stars is b/c of the location itself. It is extremely small, to the point that while ordering and getting drinks from soda fountain you are bumping into people. Also, there are not many tables so you will have to wait if you dine in. The place looks like a dump, anyway, so I would recommend just getting your food to go. There are a couple of tables outside but you are right on the sidewalk of the shopping center, facing the parking lot. I wish I could take the food from this place and put it into a nicer location. Then, it would be perfection! read more

My favorite taco spot, period. I usually eat 7-8 (street) tacos in a sitting....the carnitas, carne asada, chicken are my favorites in that order. Rice and beans finish the job nicely. I brought a coworker from Costa Rica here. He didn't like the food in ANY of the local restaurants I took him to because none of the meat had the great flavor he was used to...except for this place. He was horking down 12-15 carne asada tacos in one sitting! Insanity, but a testament to how good their food is. Five stars, every time. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food at a great price. Street tacos with tons of variety and delicious salsas.

Delicious enchiladas and tacos. Laid back environment. Happy hour is a great deal for an afternoon beer or margarita. We can typically feed our family of 3 under $20! read more

Walking up to this place I was kinda nervous... definitely a hole in the wall. Almost like it was a baja fresh at one point but O M G I can't believe the food. We walked in - total noobs to this place and checked the menu while in line. We sat down for about 5 minutes before we heard our number come up and it was BUSY. Busy as in 5-6 people were ahead of us but we were ordering within 2 minutes. The food is served on styrofoam plants that are cheap but the food... man I'm glad I found this place. I put this on par with Si Senor and Rosa's Taco Shop but... more casual if you can get more casual without losing clothing. My favorite was the tacos - the street carne tacos are so well seasoned. And the refried beans - unique taste and very flavorful. And for $6 I got a plate of food that filled me for two meals easy. I actually didn't see the Diners drive in's thing until we sat down and saw the painted stamp that Guy put on the wall. I had seen this in a few other places in town which was a good sign. I'm positive we will be back here several more times. read more

I met my cousin here for lunch, and we were really happy with the meal. The place is a less than impressive on the interior, dingy booths, long and narrow. It's terribly crowded up by the counter, not a lot of room to order and pick up your food. I do question how a place can call itself "Los Taquitos" and then not have taquitos on the menu, but I went for the flautas instead. They were good, but what set the meal apart were the beans. The most flavorful beans I have ever had. If you told me these were magical beans, I would have believed it, but I wouldn't have stopped eating them to plant one and see. Service was quick and friendly and there was plenty of seating, even during the lunch rush. Looked like a lot of people get orders to go. I'd like to go back and try a few other items on their menu, if they come with beans of course. read more

I grew up on Mexican food, and I am really picky. I'm from San Diego and I miss miss miss the taco shops I grew up eating at. I had up until this point settled on Fili B's because every taco shop in AZ I have tried has disappointed me. Until Los Taquitos! I have now eaten at Los Taquitos 3 times! First time I tried Carne Asada tacos and Carnitas tacos, both were really good! The Carnitas tacos were moist and flavorful! WOW! We also had a quesadilla, and it was creamy buttery deliciousness. Have had both items a second time and I am still SOLD! Oh and their Salsa's are really good, too! I also tried their Pozole, which was a good size portion and very flavorful, a little too salty for my tastes, but I would order it again for my Pozole fix! If you are looking for a new taco shop...maybe you should find a different one because this one is mine now and I don't want to share! Just Kidding! Oh and here's an important tip if you like Mexican food...Don't order Tamales at restaurants or taco shops, if you have had a real tamale made at home. They are always too dry and disappointing! And I don't think you can judge a TACO SHOP by an enchilada/tamale...try a taco or burrito...I truly believe that not everything at one restaurant can be great! In my opinion! read more

I have eaten here a few times. It's pretty good as far as street tacos go. Not many places other than Mexico that you can get those... Today I had the Bombero Burro with chicken. OMG this was fabulous. It was pretty spicy - for those that don't like spice - don't get it because you won't be able to eat it. But if you are a fan of spicy food - this is what to order (with your choice of meat of course). It is a pretty good sized burro - I couldn't finish it all - and trust me, I tried. I ordered it a la carte - there is a combo option - but again, it's a huge burro... This place is nothing fancy but worth a stop in. read more

We have been coming here for many years, and I think since it has gotten bigger it has gone a bit downhill as far as customer service. We almost always modify our orders, and although they have no problem charging us for it, I don't believe they have gotten the order right once in the past two years. If we ask for the food to be redone, it can be another half hour because they don't make a priority for what they screw up. The food is not consistent in quality, either. The new, larger seating area is nice. Some of the staff/owners who work the front are nice, and some are downright rude. They rarely clean the tables all day so bring extra napkins. The restaurant is very close to where we live, but we have recently been discussing that we need to start going somewhere else. read more

This place is supposed to be all about the tacos and between the meat choices and tortilla choices I think you could have around 10 different tacos, but they are traditional tacos with just meat, onions, and cilantro inside of 2 small tortillas (corn or flour.) The problem with this is that I can't eat onions or cilantro... at all... I hate them. So, I went with tostadas. I had 1 chicken and 1 carne asada. I enjoyed both very much! The tostadas are very simple; layered bottom to top are: tostada shell, beans, meat, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes. Both the chicken and carne asada were very flavorful, and while the beans were a bit watery, they tasted really good as well. The place is tiny and crowded, but the service is very friendly and I think the quality of the food makes up for the downfalls. This is probably my favorite Triple D place so far. read more

I had the luxury of living across the street from Los Taquitios. I stumbled upon it going to the grocery store one day about 3 years ago. I get the same thing almost every time...3 little carne asada tacos. OMG they are heavenly. I don't usually get a taste for beef but when I do I am headed here. The meat is tender and the seasoning is perfect. The rice and beans are great too. My only complaint is they don't give you enough rice and beans on those little plates. One day I come into to get my usual and I see that Guy from DDD is coming to do a piece on Los Taquitos. I think great. The family works hard and the service is always great, friendly and fast. I come in months later after the show aired and I waited in a line practically out the door. The place was a wreck. However, the food was the same delicious Mexican food I was use to. I still go there regularly although I moved 15 mins away. As a matter of fact I have a taste for some taquitios now. Might be lunch. Anyway I have been back after my not so stellar encounter after the show aired. It appears my favorite Mexican spot is back to what I consider normal. Now a heads up this is a little whole in the wall place. So be prepared. I tend to find these places are the best. If you are in the area definitely check out Los Taquitos and try my 3 little carne asada tacos. They are the best. read more

I'm afraid this is one of those "I wanted to love it, but..." reviews. We had an assortment of tacos and burritos. They were fine but absolutely nothing special whatsoever. Yes, they were authentic Mexican tacos (i.e., not Taco Bell) but is that really supposed to be something special in Arizona for cryin' out loud? It's not like we're in Canada here, people. I saw the piece on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives where they made a big deal about their variety of salsas and how people came from miles around to buy them. Seriously? They had exactly two salsas. Again, they were fine, but nothing special and nothing at all like what we saw on TV. We ordered chips and salsa and got a small little french fry tray of chips with no salsa. I asked the girl at the counter for salsa and she pointed to the same two bottles. Ah, ok. Woo hoo. I would happily stop there if I was in the neighborhood but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. read more

Have been eating here since Guy Fieri had it on his show, Diners Drive-ins and Dives, but have failed to Review this extraordinary little place, only a mile from my home. Maybe subconsciously I wanted to keep it to myself. Of course, with over 200 Reviews here they do NOT need mine, unless you want to know a secret. THE SECRET: Having fallen in love with Tacos Pastor (and Mexican Coca Cola) at Asadero Norte De Sonora (See my Previous Review) three visits ago I asked if they served Tacos Pastor (they are NOT on the menu) and one of the beautiful sisters advised that they did indeed. Oh my word! Nirvana, so close to home (Asadero Norte De Sonora is ten miles away). I knew I would be in trouble. They are little (The Tacos) here, but have three or four and you will think you are in Heaven. The morsels of Pork are just right spicy and absolutely delicious! Wash them down with Coca Cola from Mexico and call it FABULOUS! Prior to discovering Tacos Pastor I hade been VERY happy with the Carne Asada Tacos and as good as they are, NOT close to Tacos Pastor! Do NOT miss this wonderful treat! read more

My family visited Los Taquitos on our vacation in Arizona because we had seen it on DDD. We're from Texas, so we were used to Tex-Mex style tacos, so this was a little different, but very delicious. Here's what we ordered: chicken, beef fajita, shrimp & fish tacos w/ refried beans & rice meals - all were very good chicken fajita burrito - my daughter ate the entire thing, and LOVED every bite chicken nachos - covered in chicken, refried beans, cheese and guacamole (we asked for sour cream too), it was sooo good beef quesadilla - we got this for my youngest daughter, but she ended up liking the nachos best We would definitely return if we're ever in Phoenix again. What a great deal for some great food. read more

Score one for hole-in-the-wall, local's hidden gem places! This place has consistently good food for amazing prices. Most of their food is fairly customizable in terms of spicy-ness, which I find awesome. My poor tummy can't handle spicy anymore, and that's made finding good Mexican food that I can actually eat a bit difficult down here. Any requests to alter food (no/little salsa, no cheese, etc) have always been happily accomodated. Their burritos, while not the biggest I've seen (that title goes to either Picante in Berkeley, CA or High Tech Burrito, also in the Bay Area), they're pretty damned tasty. All of the meats I've had are very good. Granted, I've not tried the ground beef, but I tend to steer away from that unless I'm having a burger. If you're in the Ahwatukee area, this place definitely warrants a visit. read more

The worst service ever! A restaurant full of people and they start putting chairs on tables as if no one is in here. One of the girls behind the counter has the worst attitude about them having a line at closing and is being so utterly rude and ignoring people as they ask for help. They are practically pushing customers out the door. Definitely will not be back to spend money with a company that pushes you out the door 5 minutes before they are closed! read more
