Not long after that, I felt my baby kick for the first time when I walked into the restaurant. I think he was dancing to the mariachi music. Since then we've stopped at Tacos calafia for many meals, and used their meat by the pound option for parties. Their salsa cart offers many delicious options. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Thanks tacos calafia for being part of our family story and always feeding us well.

I get full with even half of the torta and save the other for later. Their salsa verde and salsa roja is so delicious and not overly spicy.

The tacos were good, and one of my favourite touches was the blistered chiles, which added a nice smoky heat alongside the meal. This was my first visit, and I came away feeling like there's more to explore on the menu. Sometimes one visit isn't enough to get the full picture, and this is one of those places I'd like to revisit before making a final judgment. Overall, an authentic taco spot that's worth another visit to dive deeper into the menu. Saluti.

The quality really stands out--especially the homemade tortillas, which take everything to the next level. The al pastor and carne asada are both incredible, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I also love that the al pastor is cooked authentically on a spit, which really adds to the flavor and experience. There's also a great variety of options on the menu, so there's something for everyone. Service is consistently quick, even when it's busy, which makes it a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick meal or sitting down to enjoy your food. Their Taco Tuesday deal is also a huge win--great value without sacrificing quality, and it keeps us coming back regularly. And the salsa deserves its own shoutout--absolutely incredible! It's packed with flavor and honestly good enough that you could enjoy it on its own. It really takes everything to the next level. If you're looking for authentic-style tacos with great flavor, fresh ingredients, fast service, and awesome specials, Tacos Tijuana is a must-visit. Easily one of my top spots in the area!

Ok, here we go. I don't know HOW this place has a 4.6 rating! Where do I start?…read moreI'll start with my 4.27 birriera taco. Absolutely no flavor or seasoning. I added salt, which helped, but couldn't save it. The consome should have helped, but it was luke worm, had a layer of fat on top, and no flavor or seasoning. The tripita taco, once again, no seasoning. It had three textures. Soft rubber, chewy rubber and crispy rubber. I realize it's a little tricky to cook to get it right. Low and slow. This was not right! After one bite, i was done. Now for the shrimp taco. 3.50 for two tiny shrimp. The only saving grace was they were cooked fairly well. Don't know where they get their taco shells, but they are somehow smaller than a street taco. My wife had the 4 rolled taco plate. The tacos were crispy, but once again lacking flavor or seasoning. The beans were ok, but no salt. The rice was cooked ok, but pretty bland. We agreed that this was the worst we have had. The place was clean and the waitress pleasant and friendly. What a dissapointment!

The macaroni and cheese was so delicious I can't even put it into words. Grandmas Calabasitas tasted just like how my grandma and my mom made them at home, and the refried beans were just as good. The meat was tender, all of it, and the BBQ sauce selection tied it all together. The inside was warm but it's also Arizona so everywhere is fuckin hot! The guys were all very friendly and served us right away. We'll definitely be back.

We went all-in on the brisket and ordered the Large Call Out Brisket Taco, Brisket Tostada, and Brisket Burrito. Everything was solid, but the taco was the standout by a mile. The brisket was smoky, tender, and loaded with flavor, and somehow every bite was better than the last. The real sleeper hit was the BBQ sauce. I'm usually not someone who talks about sauce, but this one deserves its own mention. It had the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and tangy and made everything on the table better. The mac and cheese was another surprise favorite. Rich, creamy, and absolutely worth ordering. We also tried the Mexican Twinkie. I'm glad we did because it's one of those menu items you have to experience at least once, but wow, it is rich. A few bites was plenty for me, and it's probably the one thing I wouldn't order again. Elote was decent but wouldn't order again. Mexi-Q could easily lean too far into the gimmick of BBQ-meets-Mexican, but instead they focus on doing the food right. I'll be back for that brisket taco and enough extra BBQ sauce to make questionable life decisions.

I ordered the Quesabirria Pizza and a bowl of Pozole. The pizza was disappointing--it had very little meat and cheese, and the crust was extremely soggy.

To make matters worse, both my husband and I experienced stomach issues for a couple of days after eating here.
