    Restaurant was nice, clean. Staff was knowledgeable. Food was good. I asked for chips and salsa and I got chips and told the salsa was around the way. Only small shallow plastic cups to put it in. My daughter was not pleased with the sauce on the Carne Asada tacos. Not bad.

    The value and quality of this place was unbeatable. I ordered a huge custom burrito and it was excellent especially at under $10. Edith was a very nice lady. I wouldn't recommend eating here unless you want access to their unlimited salsa bar.

    Ordered the 5 rolled tacos, shredded beef. They came out freshly cooked so I enjoyed how crispy they were fresh out of the fryer! The cheese melted on top to perfection. Cashier was helpful in local fave recommendation.

    Disgusting "chicken" tacos. Went straight in the trash
    Amy M.

    Food is disgusting!! Apparently I mistakenly ordered chicken tacos for delivery. Blegh!! Tastes, smells and looks like rotten Tuna Fish. Ordered flan. Also gross. It's like they poured maple syrup over a small thin custard. Even the horchata tastes like it comes from a box. Order somewhere else!

    Excellent! Delicious! Clean! Great Service! The tortillas and meat were nice and hot; had to wait a second to let them cool which is great because I love a hot meal!! Delicious tortillas. It's like corn and flour tortillas has a perfect baby. Flavorful Tender Meat Clean Store Fresh Limes Great Prices I got two Marinated Pork Tacos for under $5 on Tuesday. They were the perfect amount of flavor and spice and quantity of food. Comes with some chips to help clean up your plate at the end. One of the best taco spots in Phoenix! Oh! Also they label their salsa so you know if it's mild, medium, or spicy! This is the first taco place I've seen do that! Love their attention to detail.

    Great food and a lot of it for the money. They are very friendly and the restaurant is clean. Fully stocked salsa bar is a plus, worth dropping in

    Carne Asada Burrito insides
    Victoria P.

    Before I post my review, I have to say my Door Dash delivery took about an hour, and our food was cold. I want to try it again, maybe dine in. I was especially excited that they had potato rolled tacos. However, the fact that they were cold made them not appetizing. I scraped off the sour cream and heated in the microwave for a minute. Still blah. The ends of the taco were hard and the middle too soft. The potatoes themselves had very little flavor. I was really disappointed. With taco in your name, you have to have good tacos. Hubby liked the carne asada burrito the tortilla looked authentic hand made. We ordered a side of beans and a side of rice to split. Great portions. We had plenty each. The churro made this review an extra star over what I would have given it. It had a yummy gooey sauce, pudding like texture in the middle. It was tasty even cold. I will give it another shot and come back and review again.

    shrimp salad to-go
    Beth C.

    This is a nice, small shop with a great variety on their menu. Though the tacos looked excellent, I ordered a shrimp salad to-go. It was ready in about ten minutes. I was really impressed by the large size and the generosity of the toppings. They didn't skimp on cheese (yay!), the greens and avocado were delicious and fresh, and the shrimp were perfect. The dressing is kind of like ranch but had the texture and taste like Parmesan was mixed in, so I'm left wondering if it was made there; in any case, it was quite good. I'd come here again if I was in the area!

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.

He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my friend who is deaf, making sure we always had water, napkins, and plenty of chips. The margarita flight is always a must for me, so I had to order one for my friend since it was her first visit. I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious. I also ordered the lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and just as good. Ghost Ranch never seems to miss when it comes to drinks. Potato tacos! Another must have My friend ordered the Aztec Cake and insisted I'd regret not getting it. She was absolutely right. It was bomb and Torrance offered us a side of chips .TY. I ordered the short rib. It was flavorful, tender, and filling, with lots of garlic and savory flavor. I'm not sure if short rib is just not my thing, but it didn't wow me the way the Aztec Cake did. I warmed it up later and it was delicious a second time so no complaints. Excellent service, delicious drinks, and a fun way to spend the Fourth. We'll definitely be back!

Been waiting to check this place out for Happy Hour and finally got around to it with friends. Happy Hour is daily with $3 off all appetizers (not just selected as the menu says) in addition to drink specials. We ordered a few apps to share and had: - Chips with Guacamole and Salsa: solid - Queso Fundido: I was excited for this as friends have said they liked it, but the cheese harden within minutes and it wasn't as nice - Street Style Esquites: I was expecting more corn rather than mixed in another cheese dip and likewise, the cheese harden quickly. - Shrimp cocktail: it was pretty heavy on the liquid rather than thicken, but good - 3 potato tacos: okay, wasn't expected it to be fried so it was a bit greasy but loved the slaw it came with - Southwest egg roll: not bad, was a crowd's favorite and I liked the sauce it came with We didn't realize most of the apps came with tortilla chips otherwise we may have ordered differently. I got the frozen margarita and it was a bit sweet, but nice for the summer evening. Our server wasn't super attentive, but was nice whenever they came around. There's a sampler entree platter I'd like to try, but of all the appetizers we tried, the best was probably the chips with guacamole and salsa.

The spicy salsa is the opposite of the one you would think is spicy out of the two, so pay attention. Hubby got a combo with a tamale & ground beef burrito with rice & beans. He said everything was good. He also ordered a side of guacamole. I thought I got a picture of the guacamole & sour cream. It's crazy how much they charged for them. They were the small plast condiments containers, but they charged almost $5 for the guacamole. I don't remember the extra cost for the sour cream, but it too was way too high for the tiny size.

It reminded us of being in Mexico. The table & chairs are really cool too.
