    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.

    Tasty Taqueria! Stopped by here after grabbing a coffee at Builder Coffee after seeing they had breakfast burritos. Walked in right as they were opening at 10 and I got to see the grill master at work setting things up with the charcoal fire. Honestly was a one man wrecking crew as he prepared the meats, sliced veggies, and put out the salsas while making our two burritos. My carne asada steak breakfast burrito was packed with eggs, meat, beans and cheese and I wolfed it down with a side of tasty Chipotle salsa. Wife's chorizo burrito was just as good and it was great to have the fresh pico and sliced onion to balance it out. Mi gusta!

    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!

    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!!

    Tacos and caramello

    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!

    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!

    Burrito (pastore)

    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.

    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.

    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!

I felt like I didn't eat enough to replenish all of the corpuscles I shed, so a hearty late breakfast was in order. I was pleasantly thrilled with my choice of Presidio Cocina Mexicana, as the late breakfast I ordered did not disappoint! I ordered the Chilaquiles, which are essentially breakfast nachos, and you have a choice of protein to add. I chose the birria beef which was perfectly slow-cooked and complemented the corn tortilla chips, cheese, and eggs superbly. I opted for both the red chile and green chile sauce which coated the chips along with a generous layer of tangy cotija cheese. I asked for the eggs scrambled and they cooked them just how I like them... fairly dry and in a thin griddled layer. Add to this mound of well-seasoned goodness a decent dolloping of Tapatio hot sauce (and salt and pepper on the eggs) and I had endless perfect bites of spicy, meaty brekkie goodness that brought delighted yummy sounds from my grateful gullet! This was quality food and the couple at the bar next to me raved about the Menudo, so it has all the hallmarks of authentic Mexican fare. It restored me from borderline anemic to my usual strutting rugged caballero self. "¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!"

The restaurant is inside of an old brick home with wood interior and warm colors. The service was good-- friendly and food came out at a good pace, we were checked on regularly. We ordered an appetizer and then entrees from the lunch menu. The aguachile appetizer is SO good. It's bright, fresh, and has a lot of flavor in the green sauce. It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
