    Pastor tacos
    Tina K.

    Best tacos I've had in awhile! Loved the customer service & vibe of the restaurant. I ordered pastor tacos on corn tortillas, delicious. The salsa bar has the normal options & is well kept. Bummed I don't live locally or I would definitely come on regularly!

    Wow!! I was craving tacos and decided to stop by, and I'm so glad I did. Everything was so delicious and hit every craving perfectly. The horchata was amazing. It was not watered down at all, totally worth the $4.60, and the cup was HUGEEE. The carne asada mulita was incredible, and I highly recommend the carne asada in general. We also tried the cabeza and al pastor, and everything was seriously so freaking good. Service was quick and efficient, and the space is surprisingly large with plenty of seating. You order, pay, and then sit wherever you'd like. You can also get however many sauces and sides you need at their little stand. Definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back!

    Delicious food, felt very authentic to me due to the extra effort. Pictured is the family pack which my friends split 4 ways. They really enjoyed it. They also offer nopales (grilled cactus) tacos which my vegetarian friend ordered. The food came extremely quickly. I got 3 street tacos and a horchata. The horchata was delicious, it tasted like a milkshake. There is a self serve station with 3 types of salsa and toppings. There is chunky pico de gallo looking salsa which was really good by itself, green hot sauce, and a dark red salsa which is very spicy. They also offer cooked (grilled then steamed?) jalapeños. There are many seats and the staff were great. The inside has quirky posters and a few arcade games. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We were in the area and when we searched food near me Tacos Calafia came up! Can't go wrong with tacos!! It's in a good plaza! New location it said, so we decided to try it! When we walked in it's nice pretty large inside and clean, I liked the mural on the wall! The only reason I gave it a 4 is because the employees set the stage for the customers especially when you order before you sit down! And well The girl who took our order was not very friendly ,she didn't really try talking to us about anything on the menu, for it being our first time in there I guess I expected a little more friendliness or professional hospitality! We loved the salsa bar, fresh and great! They had jalapeños and onions heated in a nice area near the salsa bar. The food was quick to come out and tasty! Everything we got was pretty good! I will go back when I'm in the area!

    Best grilled burrito I have had in a long time. Carne asada was actually tender and the portion was generous. I've been back 4 times (even though I live between TUC & PHX) and it's been very consistent. I usually am a taco kinda person, but I keep getting the burritos for the flavor & value. Also, it never feels like I'm getting old food, if you know what I mean. Theyve got quite a bit of fast food style seating, clean interior and a really nice salsa, onions, etc.. bar. Overall a fun place for lunch or casual dinner. Good for families, too.

    I'm always on the lookout for fantastic Mexican cuisine, especially tacos and burritos. I am glad I found this one, there's not a big selection of these places in the area. They have authentic meats and a great salsa bar with free grilled onions and jalapeños in a warmer next to it. Friendly staff and the restaurant is nicely appointed and clean. Fantastic!

    Mediocre Tacos so I am Grateful They Were Free! Stopped by for free taco day with my boyfriend so we can't complain too much since they were complimentary, but honestly, the tacos were pretty average. I chose the chicken/pollo..'no flavor..also the corn tortillas were MID! Nothing stood out flavor-wise, and the tortillas and toppings were just okay. We got a choice of beans and they were watery so we returned them and were issued a refund despite being told we couldn't get one Still, appreciated the gesture of Tacos Calfia tacos and the chance to try them for free!

    This place really has some excellent quality tacos. Every meat I tried was excellent obviously the standout was going to be the ones shaved off of the trompo! Don't sleep on their protein bowl, which includes Spanish rice that is super flavorful. There salsa are pretty good and they even have grilled onions and pepper. The family meal deal is very affordable and feeds a lot of people. The space inside is very spacious and it can fit a large party easily plus multiple other large parties.

    Ordered a burrito online and clicked option for no beans. In the special instructions section, I also typed "no beans". Of course the first bite of the burrito had beans in it. Tortillas were mediocre at best, and food was super bland.

    This is their newest location that recently opened in Gilbert. A Phoenix original that has expanded. It's suppose to represent the tastes of Tijuana, Mexico. As growing up near the border in San Diego & crossing over many times to experience the night life and the food, this missed the mark in my opinion. The tacos were average and by no means would you call them "out of this world" good. Also they're really small more like a street taco and the meat could have been more seasoned! The chicken as far as flavor was the best. The nachos were over $11 and disappointing in portion and in taste as well. Generally, (at other mexican places) it's definitely more than enough of a serving for two to share. Not here. The cheese was the canned orange stuff yet the fresh toppings from the salsa bar gave it a boost. Meat was per cooked, then fried and dry! The hot salsa bar was nice. Great inviting station. Many options to chose from including fried jalapeños & sautéed onions. Service is fast and efficient. Restaurant clean Prices were too high for the quantity served. Doubt we'd return. Haven't honestly found anything here in Arizona that would compare to the amazing So Cal Mex!

    Went thyr with empty stomach,was hoping to cure the that emptiness. I did get full but not gona lie,my only thing was the street tacos . I've ate street tacos all my life my only complaint was why only one tortilla for the taco,if you're charging what you want for street tacos they need to be 2 tortillas sorry but i spent $40 buks 2 burritos 3 no complaints on the price. But come on 1 tortilla for $3 doesn't add up to me. Salsa bar was nicely stocked.

    Make sure you get your cheese on your tacos before you leave. Other than that is not bad place for some decent food.

    Tacos Tijuana is my absolute favorite local taco shop! It's easily one of the best taco spots in…read morethe area and genuinely holds up when compared to authentic tacos I've had in Tijuana. 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!

    I really wish I could put more stars. This food was the most amazing BBQ I've ever had in my life…read more Me and my boyfriend got the Mexi-Q platter and shared it. 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.

    I knew Mexi-Q was going to be good when I found myself rationing the last few bites of my taco…read morebecause I didn't want it to end. 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.
