I pass this restaurant every day I take my son to school. I'm glad I finally tried it. They have a pretty big menu and it was a little hard to decide because everything looked good. I finally decided on 3 hard shell tacos with rice and beans. You do have a choice of regular beans or spicy. I went with regular. Everything was very good. My boyfriend ordered a Carne asada burrito and he really enjoyed it. I had a little taste of the meat from the burrito and it was very flavorful. They also have a salsa bar which had different kinds of salsas. The green one was probably my favorite. I will definitely be back to try other things. read more

Tacos El Paisa - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We have been here in AZ since 2007 and have been searching for a good Mexican food restaurant to compare to Chicago. This restaurant in Mesa on Southern delivered! The meat in the Burrito was plentiful and seasoned perfectly, tender and just what we have been looking for. The shrimp quesadilla was so good, I could not stop eating it. The front staff were excellent, friendly, spoke English and were very accommodating, since it was our first time there. Service was also very fast. Would highly recommend to anyone and we have found our go to place. read more

I've been here twice and love their Birria! The first time I tried the birria 'pizza' and it was delicious. Definitely enough to feed 4 people. The second time I got the birria tacos & my boyfriend (who got other tacos) kept wanting more of my food lol. Also tried the horchata that time and it blew my mind. I like sweeter horchata and this one is now one of my favorites read more

Came here with my husband and parents to give it a shot. If you're hungry it gets the job done. The taste here is just OK, nothing special. Would not be my go to for Mexican food. read more

I've always driven by this place but never ate it till now. The wait was a bit longer than your average drive through however the food is prepared fresh. The service was good the lady at the window was really polite. I didn't feel rushed. I ordered the carne asada fries with everything and asked for their spiciest salsa. The presentation of the food was your average Styrofoam to go box and was a great portion. I liked how everything was distributed through the plate and not just blobs of sour cream in one section, guacamole in the other and pico in a part of it. The meat was seasoned very well and had a lot of flavor. The beans were really good too. Overall I can say this was a good choice. I'm Looking forward to coming and trying other items. read more

I've been pretty disappointed with food out here being from the Bay Area. This place did NOT disappoint. I only spoke to one staff member and she was really nice and polite. All the other customers seemed to be very friendly with them as well. Nice Salsa bar, they got the spicy jalapeños and carrots, great music and the Mexican culture is all over the wall. I loved it! Wish they had a secret orange sauce but maybe they do I don't know. I'm going back today to get some more, I'll ask then haha I usually don't leave reviews but I found this place on Yelp and just thought to give it a try. It only had three stars and I'm telling you, thats underrated. It's delicious and well sized portions. read more

A new taco place? Vamos! The restaurant was easy to find, it's right next to El Super. No problem finding parking either. Staff was friendly and the dining area was clean.

This place is bomb I have never been l disappointed! Consume is so bomb with tacos and arroz!

Tried out this place for the first time. Order the super nachos with adobada as my meat option. Great portion size. The meat was flavorful but next time I'll ask for no pineapple. The agua de horchata was not watered down. Place is clean and the staff are friendly. I really like the picture decir but because of the suns glare couldn't get a good picture. Prices are fair. The salsa had 4 options and I tried them all . So items on the menu caught my eye so we'll definitely be back. read more

Wow, This is a hidden gem. I kept looking at the reviews I couldnt believe anyone could give this place TWO stars. Today we had fish, asada,al pastor, chicken tacos. Let me tell you my favorite tacos were the fish and asada tacos. The asada tacos have a hint of mesquite flavor so good. The fish tacos are bomb with just the right amount of seasonings. My hubby had the menudo which I tried a piece and it was just right. They have fresh aguas , jaritos guavas kids favorite and the owner gave us churros de cajeta. The churros are yummy. Definitely coming back owner and cashier were very friendly, nice and it was a pleasure! read more

Finally fine some good Mexican food in Arizona that isn't white washed! This place is legit fire!

Food is authentic and service is great! We have gone multiple times and it never disappoints! Aguas frescas are always delicious!

Went through drive thru and took 15 minutes to get my food. Figured that it would be warm and fresh with that wait time. I ordered a few tacos and the meat was cold. A lot of different places around the area to choose from that are cheaper so I'd skip this place. Gave it a two because seems like it actually would be decent if warm. read more

Very good food, the closest to authentic Mexican food that I have been able to find since moving from CA. That is in my area. The carne asada burrito was pretty large and they have a good variety of spicy and mild salsas at the salsa station. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND though bringing cash, because the negative reviews stating that they were charged more on their credit cards than what they were told at the register is true. Our order total was around $38.86 and I was charged $39.95 on my card. There are now signs anywhere that say you will be charged a credit card transaction fee either so I am unsure about the discrepancy in charges so next time I will only be paying with cash only. And if you do pay with card pay attention to your credit card statement to ensure you were not overcharged or double charged. read more
