    Laid back taco truck!
    Nilanj D.

    Oh my gawd these tacos were good. Amazing tacos with beautifully-seasoned meat, piping hot and fresh right off the grill top, very kind and quick service from the truck team, and a chill atmosphere to eat on site if desired (and if you don't, they'll pack up your tacos nicely for you to take home). There are several taco options here, but I got the pastor and the chicken. Both were so good. Very few places get pastor right. Some places overcook it, some try to hide poor seasoning with too much pineapple. This was PERFECT - tender, savory, amazing. The chicken was excellent too, juicy, just the right amount of chile lime, wow. And I LOVED that each plate comes with sautéed onions and a roasted whole jalapeño. THAT IS HOW YOU TACO! There are so many expensive and fancy-looking taco places all over Arizona, places that'll charge you $5-6 PER TACO, and they're nowhere NEAR the flavor of this place where every taco is $2.50. I will be coming again and again - I've reviewed dozens of taco places around the USA and this was easily in my top 5. It's best if you bring cash to pay here by the way. This way you can leave a tip for the hard working family making these amazing, inexpensive tacos!

    When I arrived, they were all out of every meat except asada and pollo, unfortunately, so I didn't get to try the meat that I wanted. I ordered two pollo quesatacos and one asada quesabirria to go. The chicken was ok, but the steak tasted really good, good enough for me to want to come back. But I took away one star for me not getting to order what I originally wanted and another star because I believe I was overcharged. They don't give itemized receipts, just a ticket number, so it's hard to tell how they calculate their totals. The quesabirria was $10 and the quesatacos were $3.50 each, so I'm not sure how that adds up to me being charged $24.

    THE BEST TACOS I'VE HAD IN THE PHOENIX AREA!! So much flavor, so delicious and a welcoming atmosphere. Quick service, a busy little spot in the evening!

    Wanted to try a new taco spot for Taco Tuesday. Took the trek out to AJ to this little taco truck and it didn't disappoint. Between my boyfriend and I, we got 10 tacos for $16! Great taco Tuesday deal. They've got you covered with birria, carne asada, pollo asada, Al pastor and cabeza. We tried them all except the chicken. Great flavor, great value. The Al pastor and carne asada were my favorites. Bonus: they were only playing Pitbull songs on the speaker. ¡Dale!

    I moved here to the Gold Canyon area from L.A. in 2015....the tacos here were in 2020 Mad Taco Az moved into A.J. and we are so happy about that. Not only do they have excellent tacos with salsitas muy picoso and grilled chile jalapeños but they have the best owners (super friendly) All the protein they serve is delish but my favorite is the cabeza Go Check them Out!!

    I was looking for a quick lunch spot on my way out of the valley to golf in Gold Canyon and saw…read morethis place on Yelp with the great reviews. Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

    Found this place through Yelp at 4.8 stars and it was definitely worth it. Not much ambience, just…read moregreat food. Well worth the trip and definitely will come back here again. Carnitas were moist, but crispy shredded beef taco was pretty good. They also had chicken Tinga, which is fairly rare and that was also pretty good. The chips were light thin and weren't very great, but when you consider everything else, who cares?

    For my husband's birthday, he requested barbecue, and a colleague of his recommended Papa Bear's…read moreBBQ. We decided to try it, and it exceeded our expectations. We ordered the Papa Bear's Sampler, which offers an excellent variety of meats along with two sides. While it is described as serving two people (or one very hearty appetite), the portion size is extremely generous. It would take quite an appetite to finish it in one sitting. The meats were tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, and the sides were equally impressive--especially the potato salad. In fact, the sampler provided enough food for two full meals for my husband and me. I am particularly selective about potato salad, as I have always compared it to my grandmother's recipe, and few have come close. Papa Bear's BBQ is a rare exception. In addition to the outstanding food, the staff was welcoming and attentive, and the pricing was very reasonable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we look forward to returning.

    I had this place bookmarked and was heading back from the hardware store around dinner time one…read moreweekend, so I decided to stop by. The place wasn't crowded, but did have plenty of people inside either waiting for orders or eating at some of the handful of tables. I looked at the big menu display screens and then placed my order at the counter with the nice woman who works there. I had the brisket plate with chili and corn bread as my sides. The brisket (some fatty, some lean so I could try their idea of both) was cooked well and had a good smoke ring. The smoke flavor wasn't as strong as I prefer, but different people have different ideas and less is more when you're cooking for a crowd, so I respect that. Their barbecue sauce (the red one -- I don't put yellow sauce on brisket -- had a good flavor that complemented the brisket's flavor rather than overpowering it.) As for the sides, the chili was OK, but not something that I would order again. I like chili and was curious. Curiosity satisfied. The corn bread was moist and that middle-of-the-road between sweet and savory that is common in much of Texas (at least the parts I have visited). I like mine a little more sweet, but, like the brisket, I am a believer in getting the texture right first. Be aware if you are a fan of the sweet corn breads.
