    Cockroach leg

    After waiting 30 min for my food I got home ready to enjoy my tacos, and as I was taking a bite from my pastor taco I saw a little cockroach leg sticking out of the meat

    2 tacos adobada and 2 de cabeza

    I absolutely love this place. If you're looking for a taste of tacos from Mexico I 100% recommend this taco truck. Outside seating and it definitely gets busy from all the regulars around the area. They're open till midnight during the week not too sure about the weekend. I've probably tried about every taco from here but this is what I recently ordered carne asada tacos and a carne asada vampiro . The cabeza tacos are so good. The salsas are SOOOOO TASTY green avocado one and the other is a chunky salsa that's made with grilled tomatoes and chiles not too hot either. The service is great this place only accepts cash or Zelle. I'd ask for prices and a detailed receipt before you pay though. It's in a rough neighborhood lol I'm used to it though. Parking isn't the greatest so I'd park at the business to the right side of the taco truck bc to the left it's a very narrow road and difficult to get out of it. There's also women/men that hang around selling snacks, breads cheeses from Mexico I definitely recommend supporting them I always try and grab something when I can like a sweet bread or piece of cheese to take home and cook with bc they're honestly so good. You can't really just get it anywhere. They have music playing and a lady there that sings great. this will hands down always be my favorite taco truck bc their tacos are prepared like in Mexico. 100% recommend this place.

    One of the best taco joints. The good: Food is great, best carne asada tacos in the area. Service was great food came out quickly and hot. The Bad: not a great variation in the menu. just taco and more tacos.

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!

I recommend the asada, the hazz, the Lorenza, and anything with the beans. Order at the counter, they'll call your name when your order is ready, and the seating is casual and open. They have a selection of aguas frescos, but I usually like a classic bottled coke for the perfect beverage pairing.

This location is a standalone with a decent patio. Parking is minimal but seemed like there were enough people coming and going. I got a spot right away. Note when leaving you'll have to go right - heading North on 43rd. The staff here were really nice! It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! 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.
