    Luis our amazing server
    Randa S.

    First timers! We've never been here before and always wondered what the hype was about. We arrived Wednesday night around 6:30 and had plenty of seating. The restaurant is well decorated, with sugar skulls displayed throughout--very cool atmosphere. I ordered the chimi appetizer, and my hubby had the shrimp enchiladas. Both dishes were amazing. The chimi could've been a little more fried, but it still tasted great (and hey, the air fryer tomorrow fixes everything ). My hubby absolutely loved the shrimp enchiladas. Luis was very attentive and on the spot with everything we needed during our visit. If you're visiting soon, ask for Luis! We'll definitely be back to try more dishes. #mexican #phoenix #salttacosytequila

    Super fun interior. Great service. Very good lunch. I had excellent shrimp tacos. My friend's Burrito bowl looked delish. Only negative was the jalapeño coleslaw. Needs mayo or moisture was only chopped slaw.

    Tropic heat margarita
    Lauren D.

    First time in and cannot wait to come back in! The tropic heat marg was perfect blend of spice and pineapple, pretty sure it's the best spicy marg I've had! We started with the chips and salsa and enjoyed the texture of the salsa. It wasn't too chunky and had a great salt level! The chips were salted nicely and tasted fresh. I got the vampire tacos which had a ton of flavor from the marinade/seasoning on the meat and the consume was a great addition. I appreciated the quantity of meat on each taco as well. My hubs got the Tijuana burrito and he loved it! She enjoyed the cook on the carne and the ratio of meat to cheese to beans. The cheese sauce on top was absolutely delish too! I wish I got a side for my tacos lol We both appreciated our special requested being fulfilled as well, always a bonus when you don't have to worry about that It was a slow Sunday afternoon but the service was nice from the hostess to our server. I would also say the price of our lunch with a drink was worth it in quality quantity, and service. Can't wait to come back :)

    Vegan option!!!! Sort of Visiting from Cali Medium loud music Loud atmosphere though voices kind of echo. The decor is completely day of the dead. Chips and salsa are not free. Our server was very nice. He recommended a cocktail. Prickly pear blended margarita..... It's purple love it. Delicious This was my second bowl the first one the rice was hard every other bite. Guacamole taste tangy in my bowl. This time someone forgot to add the onions and the bell peppers that come with the bowl. How do you forget part of the food/bowl. It was just OK My sister got the chicken enchiladas. She said it was good. Our waiter Anthony saved my day he took my bowl off the bill. The 5 stars are for him. Thank you Anthony

    Guacamole with pomegranate seeds
    Kris L.

    I arrived at happy hour which had good prices on tacos and appetizers. I ordered the guacamole which came sprinkled with pomegranate seeds, a nice touch and had good chunks of avocado; ceviche - quite good, plus chicken tacos - good but not spectacular hence the 4 star. I didn't realize that the ceviche also came with a huge portion of freshly fried chips so I had a double dose of chips from the guacamole and ended up taking a huge box of chips home, surprisingly they still tasted fresh even 3 days later.

    Thursday Happy Hour visit. My party was seated right away. The food was good. The flavored frozen margarita was also enjoyable. The service was fine. The wait time to receive our order was not long at all. The restaurant was nearly full but it was not too loud.

    Beef birria bowl
    Rebekah D.

    Team lunch was from here and it was delicious. We had it to go so I'm not sure how service was, but I'll assume it was fine. The queso was surprisingly good and I'm not a huge fan of queso. Chips were pretty standard, not super thin, so you could load them up with queso and guacamole. The guacamole had pomegranate, lime and onions and it's the first time I think I've had pomegranate with my guacamole and I actually liked it like that. Might have to make it myself like that too. I had the beef birria bowl. The beef in mine was a little on the fatty side, but the flavor was delicious. It wasn't too salty, I would've preferred a bit more spice to it, but I didn't have any hot sauce with me, otherwise I probably would have added a little Valentina to it (with the black label, iykyk) bc I like my ancho Chile sauce with a bigger kick Anyway, it was hearty portion, the rice wasn't mushy and the beans were pretty decent. 8/10. I want to go back, and actually eat inside there for the full experience with some libations. Yassss.

    Carne Asada burrito bowl, with no cheese.  Some of the rice was crispy, but other than that, the bowl was really good.
    Eleda G.

    The food was delicious . I had the Carne Asada burrito bowl, it was good, except for some of the rice was crispy. But the flavor was on point. Great service and ambiance.

    We just had drinks and chips/salads which were both pretty good. Service was also good. The vibe needs some help though. Way too bright at the bar. Some mood lighting would step this place up a notch. Feels kind of cold. It's nice there a patio too. I'd pop in again for a drink if I was in the area.

    Came into Salt on a Tuesday and loved that they had some solid specials going on. The tacos were really tasty, definitely hit the spot. They do charge $2.50 for chips and salsa, which feels like it should come with the meal, but it's not a dealbreaker. The skinny margarita was just okay; not bad, but nothing to write home about. The bar itself is fun, and the outdoor area is a great spot to hang out. Overall, a good spot for a casual night out.

    The Vampire Quesadilla
    Shana W.

    The food was really good! The vampiro quesadillas were the best thing I've had here. It was filling and the consommé was sooo tasty. I was very happy with my food and although I didn't finish, the leftovers would make a perfect lunch the following day. We sat on the patio, our server was super nice and even accommodated an off menu item for us , cheese crisps. The inside was super chilly so sitting on the patio was a must. Although we were not affected, the patio misters came on and the entire patio ran out of there. It was actually pretty funny. We went in the evening , and it was not hot out so I would have ran away too had that been us. Everyone enjoyed the food. The queso dip was mid. We won't order that again, it was watery and lukewarm at best. We are used to hot thick and creamy queso. It didn't affect our meal at all, just won't get it again is all. Forgot to mention my drink! I can't recall the name but it was delicious! I think it was a blood orange something. Really delicious !

    Prices are high and service is slow in busy hours but food is good and cocktails are great. It's a nice place for a date night. Outdoor seating in the open is nice for a more quiet environment. Staff is always friendly.

    Chicken plate!
    Sabrina C.

    Stumbled upon this place and so glad I did! The place was decorated cute and trendy. The server was friendly and helpful in offering ideas on the menu. We ordered the prickly pear margaritas and they were sooooo good and refreshing. For appetizers we ordered the elotes dip, and it was so flavorful and creamy I nearly finished it by myself. It also looked pretty too! ordered the taquitos, we got 2 shredded beef and 2 shredded chicken they were also very delicious. My husband ordered a chicken entree, which I cannot remember the name of but did happen to snap a pic, he said it was very juicy and also full of flavor. We went early afternoon on a weekday so there was only a handful of people dining, but I can imagine it picking up on a weekend? I saw they have a brunch menu and am interested in checking that out!

Every time I come here it gets more packed, which is both annoying and completely understandable because the food is ridiculously good. The tacos are fantastic, the fries are life-changing, and the hongos fries specifically deserve their own national holiday. This place made the Top 100 food spots in America list, and honestly? Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

They make my tacos just how I ask every time I come, and I make changes! Most recently was last night after a rough rental car situation (avoid NU check those reviews eek) and the bartender was awesome. Quick service, friendly and took my order perfectly. Strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite and if you know me I'm a lemonade girl. Tacos are perfect, the meat has virtually no weird fat on them like most tacos do. Both carne and chicken. Delicious. I'm here for five days this trip and I'm going back for sure, may end up at the Tempe location too. I should mention the great atmosphere and getting I got, a "welcome in" from the ladies behind the counter as well as the bartender I wish I got his name. Thank you for making my night :)

Since this establishment offered various types of tacos, we tried a bit of different kinds and overall enjoyed the differences in taste and texture. Specifically, I thought the sonoran taco was very innovative as it involved two kinds of salsa to provide a color juxtaposition, which also offered the carne asada different experiences in flavor. I also enjoyed the costra taco which was made with caramelized cheese over it, offering a pleasant fried flavor on the tortilla itself. The barbacoa taco was very juicy since the beef was very well-made. In contrast, the carne asada taco was a bit dry for some reason, and relied on the avocado salsa for both taste and juiciness. The fish taco didn't have enough fish, and had a lot of batter around the fish along with excessive pickled onion pieces. Since this spot is located in a very nice area, the arts district, I would recommend it to anyone that's around the area. It'd be a nice lunch after visiting the Phoenix Art Museum, which is only a mile away from here!

The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.
