    Sonora burrito and street tacos.
    Dave C.

    Stopped on the way to the airport food was great. Definitely worth the time and we will go there again.

    breakfast burrito
    Rong R.

    It was a lovely small taco shop next to the chase field. We went there right when they opened in the morning. I ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo, which was pretty flavorful. Their salsa at the sauce bar went so well with the burrito too!

    Carne Asada
    Brant D.

    Man.. wanted some authentic tacos.. got off Airplane and looked on yelp decided to give this place a go.. as I like to stay away from chain restaurants if possible.. so when pulled in knew it was gonna be good.. cooked over a hot bed of coals and man was it good!!! Hands down best tacos ever.. and the toppings bar was great with pico, pickled onion and such.. go see this dude I promise you won't be disappointed!!

    This is carne burrito with pico guacamole lots of cheese

    when I say this is the best burrito I've had in years I swear best place to get a fat burrito for $15 plus the worker is so nice and joyful and a very nice home environment I feel like I can chill eat and chat I love this play r will recommend

    Tacos and caramello
    Ryan D.

    Great little stop for lunch. Had two delicious asada tacos on corn tortillas. Partner had a caramelo that she enjoyed as well. Along with a Mexican Coke. There is a free salsa bar that had a variety of salsas, an avocado salsa, cabbage, red onions, limes, and peppers. My partner liked the red salsa best, but I was partial to the roasted pepper one that's more brownish and chunky. We both loved the avocado salsa; despite her allergies, my partner gave it a try. There is very limited indoor seating which is part of why I gave only four stars -- the other part being that the menu is limited and there was no cilantro. HOWEVER, what they do have and what we had was delicious. I'd give 4.5 stars if possible. The taste was unmatched. I've lived in AZ my whole life and had tacos across the state; these take the cake. Will be back. The man behind the register was very kind and gave personal opinions on salsa when asked. The ambiance is nice and gives an authentic taco shop experience with the smoky scent of meats cooking and music in Spanish. The space was decently clean and the salsa bar seemed fresh and at the correct temperatures. This is located along 7th street in the Warehouse District. We walked comfortably from a nearby parking lot, midday Saturday. The place did not have other patrons except for us while we were there, but they have plaques of awards won, and the food spoke for itself. Give it a try next time you're looking for some great tacos!

    The tacos were great! We tried one of each kind chicken, carne, and el pastor. There are five amazing sauces to mix and match with the tacos that really made the meal. Excellent!

    Tacos with steak and stuff from their toppings.
    Sonya L.

    OMG!!!!!! 100% amazing!!! Best place I have been and cheapest meal during our Arizona vacation! We found them from the Moon Baseball Road trip book and it did not disappoint!! We order at least one item from the whole menu. Everything was amazing!!!! We enjoyed the pastor meat the most but also got the steak for several dishes. The ladies behind the counter was super sweet. They helped us order, let me change my meat last minute, and even made our little ones meal even better by adding cheese!!!

    I drive by this place everyday on my way to school and have been dying to try it! We finally stopped in after class one day. They're a cute family owned business kind of on the industrial street of 7th. There's not much else around but they have indoor and outdoor seating. The inside was smaller than I expected. They have a very small menu with street tacos (flour or corn tortillas), burritos, breakfast burritos, and one other thing on the hard shell (do not remember the name) tortas I believe. My friend and I got a burrito and two tacos and then shared. I had both the chicken and beef tacos (the only other meat option is pork). The chicken tacos were better in my opinion. They also only come with the large tortilla and the meat. They have a little bar on the side that has pico, lettuce, multiple salsas and jalapeños. I love that you can put everything on yourself! The burrito we got chicken in and it also has, cheese, beans, and rice. It was super good, a nice size not too big. I will say I got like two bites of sketchy chicken (the cartilage) that I did not enjoy hence the 4 stars. The salsa options are amazing. Definitely will come back!

    Sonora Taco Shop 1 & 2 have the best tacos EVERRRR The service is fast and the staff is so friendly. The ambiance is chill

    Burrito (pastore)
    Kristen E.

    Park in the little lot next door. Order from the short menu on the wall: it's tacos and burritos, friends, no chips and salsa or guac. They do have Jarritos and a couple of fountain drinks though. There's a single, dark, all-gender but not handicapped-accessible restroom (no grab bars, for instance). Top your tacos from the small salad bar. (Tacos, plural, because who eats only one?) A few tables inside and a few outside. The burrito is normal sized, but I was kind of hungry and wish I had ordered the Sonoran with beans. Al pastore was really good.

    Vampiros
    Jerry L.

    I was working downtown and a coworker told me about this place and said it was good. I ordered 3 vampiros which is a tostada with beans, cheese melted with carne asada on top. I liked the flavor of the whole but the carne asada was a little bland. But if you spend $10-$15 and your are still hungry afterwards that's a problem. And I was hungry still. The kitchen seems fairly clean. I will comeback and try it again!!!

    Front entrance...outdoor seating if the inside is crowded.
    Kenyatte S.

    On our way to the Phoenix airport we stopped to have a quick bite at a local taco shop. It's very intimate, minimal indoor seating but outside seating available. A handful of options, bottled drinks and a few traditional options. Parking is minimal...2 parking lots..one on each side of the shop. After you receive your order there is a toppings bar stocked with fresh toppings and an array of sauces/salsas. It definitely hit the spot.

    Ryan D.

    Today I stopped in here on the way to a community building event in south Phoenix. I love this place. When I am in this area I eat here. The vampires are TDF and the meat is good and grilled over coal. The tacos come just meat and tortilla. It's up to you to decorate them at the salsa bar. I will continue to eat here when I'm in the area. It's small. Hip. Local. Quality. Happy. Gracias a Los dueños!

The Old Town hot dog was great, with the cheese and jalapeños working nicely together. Interestingly enough, they use the same buns for the sliders and the hot dog; the hot dog buns were just chained together, and it worked really well. The BOJ slider had a good flavor profile thanks to the caramelized onions and seasoning, though the slider was a little sparse for my liking when it came to the bun-to-beef ratio.

Started to look over the menu and all the options. I ordered the Little Mule and my son ordered the Cowboy 2026 with an order of garlic cojita fries. And to wash it down, a couple of Pauliner beers. The burger was tasty however the bun was charred. The hot dog was okay but nothing to write home about. The fries were served later because the waiter took our food order to the wrong table at first and the people at the table (who had already eaten) told the waiter they ordered the fries but not the burgers. There is a spicy pepper jam on the fries and maybe a little too much sauce. But they were okay. Would go for something different next time. We then ordered a couple of unique beers, one being the Mother Earth Cali Dreamin which by the description sounded delicious because I like a brown dark beer (stout) with a chocolate caramel taste. To my surprise I get an amber looking pilsner that tastes a little like chocolate. A real mind trip as it was not what I expected. Spoke to the waiter about it and all he could say is he just pours it from the tap and couldn't do anything about the color. Dude, just look at the description on your menu. So miss leading. Anyhow, for a quick bite it's an okay spot. But I would stay clear of some of the unique options.

Great food (hot crisp tots) and a jukebox full of happiness. I came here for the first time due to VIVA PHX. I live north of town, and had no idea this place existed. I do now! I've only been back once, but it was so clearly my happy place that I will be back again and again. The booths are cozy, and the outside is pleasant.* It's a great spot for live music under the stars. And the staff - they are - like - nicer than I've even thought possible in a bar nowadays. I was there during happy hour last week and was offered a pitcher or a pint. I got the pint, but it went down so fast I needed another. The barkeep laughed and said "I knew you should have gotten the pitcher. I'll only charge you the difference in cost for the second beer." The difference? $3.

Neither of us have ever been to Gracie's Tax Bar, so we didn't really know what to expect. The bar itself is composed of a kind of tiny interior and a large patio with ample seating. The event was hectic and busy, but very chill and well-organized at the same time. It was definitely a crowd that was well handled. I also felt safe at the venue because they were scanning IDs and checking bags at the door. Regretfully, we did not try any of the food options at Gracie's, though we saw many other people enjoying it and it looked super good. The drinks were super reasonable prices and the crowd had such a cool vibe. We will certainly return.

The usual charm is there, but the lack of variety and allergy-friendly options, combined with the long wait, makes it hard to justify the stop.

Although we were all dressed up for the 70s band, it was probably a mistake to visit in the summer heat. Entrance to the main performance area was delayed, so we were all forced to stay in the extremely humid, hot and wet open bar area for the longest time waiting 30 mins for the main area to open inside. In the open bar area our party was pummeled with industrial misters, which were a cross between cool and just soaking wet misters. Bar staff wete great at the start, then as the place got busy, ordering took a long time with no formal queues set up. Advice is to not leave a tab open at the open bar as the bar inside was a lot emptier and service was a lot quicker. Not many areas to sit at, what made things worse was the 1 largest table is reserved for the local medical college, who defended in hoards at 930 and inundated the bar making it very hard to order or close the tab. Water is a must, they have pots of water in the entrance but sell water at the bar, which was not cooled. Main stage area was massive, loud and luckily our group was able to get seats and the one table inside by the dance floor. Inside was drier, slightly cooler with no misters. A lot of folks were dressed in great 70s clothes which was clearly made uncomfortable with the amount of misterd in rhe open bar area. Although a short walk from the Marriott hotel, note that walk is unfortunately through a large homeless area. Valet parking was available, not published by the event. Wouldn't recommend walking back to the hotels just north at night. The band area was massive, 10 person band was excellent, but dance floor and stage was constantly being filmed, photographed by intrusive folks and if that wasnt bad enough, a sound guy with an ipad constantly moved through the dance floor, pushing you away to work on the sound, which was never perfected.

Buy aside from that, we were a bit disappointed because the place wasn't what we expected. There's a fenced parking lot behind it- I entered it from the alleyway. It stated that there is a charge for events and to talk to security. There was nobody in sight. When security showed up, I flagged them down and they said they were going to lock the fence because they can't let anyone into the lot- it belongs to a school. They said they'd be back at 7pm to unlock for the event. I was allowed to wait in the parking lot for it to open back up at 7pm, meaning that I had no way to leave the lot. 10 minutes til, The Duce employees opened the fence on the other side of the lot. The person making the reservations, who arranged for us to park in this lot, was being blocked from entering the lot by "valet" because it wasn't 7pm yet and they wanted to charge everyone $20 to park. They had been told it would be free for everyone in our party but I guess that had changed. Since I parked before everyone else, it wasn't an issue for me. I ordered a strawberry limeade and some turkey sliders with Mac n cheese and green chili on top. I observed the bartender pick up the strawberries with his bare fingers, place them in my glass, and then use the muddle to blend them. I was a bit concerned about that. The sliders came out on very large toasted croissants. I am glad I didn't order 3 sliders. It was ok, it was more bland than expected. I could not taste the green chili or the Mac n cheese. What would really make it stand out is perhaps using a sharp cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack and getting spicier green chili. They came with coleslaw which tasted like it had cinnamon in it. I was here for a party where gifts were opened. We left them at the table while everyone mingled. I started noticing people that were not part of our group were beginning to approach the gifts, looking at where they were and stopping near them. I wouldn't leave any valuables out here even if you have a reservation. I used the online menu I scanned at the food booth. There was a very large variety of alcoholic drinks and they all looked very tasty. I wanted either the cranberry cobbler drink or the banana cream pie drink. Unfortunately, when I went to order these, they were not currently on the menu. I was limited to choosing from about 8 basic drinks. All food ran about in the $16 range, whether for a meal or snack.
