La Frontera is one of those downtown Phoenix food trucks permanently parked in a setting that looks…read morelike a semi truck stop and that hits the spot exactly when Mexican comfort food is what you're craving, day or night. It's casual, satisfying, and always a little bit of a scene in the best way. There are tables if you want to sit, and depending on the hour, you might find yourself surrounded by suited business people, construction workers, late-night wanderers, or a mix of all three. In any case, it's always a trip. The ladies running the truck are all smiles and especially patient when this gringo places his order completely in Spanish. That alone makes the experience feel warm and fun before the food even arrives. This is exactly the kind of place downtown should have: no fuss, plenty of character, and food that satisfies the craving.

The table and chair entire reminds me of some spot back home in Oakland, CA. Plenty of seats and tables at each truck to enjoy your food and let traffic disappear while you enjoy your food and relaxed environment.

This place is across from St. Joseph's hospital, so it was super convenient for me to just run…read moreacross the street for lunch. The dining room is kind of cool, with mannequins dressed in luchador costumes, large posters of luchadores, and luchador masks. The galvanized metal on the wall and pretty painted tiles go perfectly. The woman working was very friendly, yelling a greeting as soon as you walk in. I ordered the carnitas quesadilla, which was really yummy. There is a small salsa bar, and this is where Maskadores really shines. I absolutely loved both the red and green sauces. They were hot, but had such a delicious flavor. There are a few of these places around, so I may go to a different location, but I will definitely return to try some of the other items in the menu.

We have been going to Charlie's tacos food truck for years! I love their specials throughout the week. The flavor in everything is always on point! They are street style tacos so they are small, order more than 3 I promise they are with it! Often there is a line but IT IS SO WORTH IT!! The truck is clean , there is a place to sit down and enjoy. Alittle side note, If you are ordering from inside Charlie's bar, they will not serve you drinks. If you go outside of Charlie's bar, they will serve you drinks. They have Agua Fresca's.. I always recommend their Horchata always bomb.they accept card . I would say this place is accessible, and there is accessible parking. Ramps around the area for easy access. This place is not quiet and can have some smoke from the food truck.

They were fast but not like super fast because I can tell they're trying to cook it and the burrito size is actually really big the Salsa. They have red and green salsa salsa we're OK they don't have to kick that also but as personal reference, the burrito is pretty good. I know I like this place.

The lady up front was nice. The facility itself was clean, but there were a couple loiterers inside. They had duffle bags, were eating ice cream and had no restaurant food with them. I was getting my food to go, so I didn't have to deal with them. But then again, this is the 'hood. Sometimes you have to dodge bullets & transients to get to the good food. WORTH IT! The missing star was because their fryers were down when I went in and I couldn't get any fries with my torta. The sandwich itself was pretty good, but then again, I've never had carnitas that I didn't like. I'll be back to sample more goodies. Maybe drive thru might be better next time...

You can truly feel the pride they put into their food, and every dish is amazing. Honestly, it's one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Valley. The way they maintain the place, along with the décor and ambiance, is outstanding. The service is superb, and the whole experience feels exactly how a traditional Mexican restaurant should. The food is absolutely delicious--it took me right back to the 80s. God bless! Sarah smile

This time, I was placing an order for some friends who were unexpectedly staying at Phx Children's Hospital, so I thought I'd share my experience with them. The Torta & Taco Plate combos are $15.99 each. It's a bit higher, but that's turned into the new norm with everything. Taco plate includes rice & beans, while the Tortas include Fries. 2 Taco Plates & 2 Tortas Combo @$16 add up quickly, but the food is always consistently good. If you're coming in for tacos, take advantage of the Taco Tues specials, which change up a bit but can include rice & beans or just tacos. Tortas are filling so I kept it simple with Carne Asada and Chicken. The inside is kept clean and the fridge off to the side with all the beers is always calling my name.... I resisted the last 2 trips, but not sure how long I will be able to hold off!!! Until the next time, possibly lunch in coming weeks.
