The Birria tacos are bomb! The Birria Ramen was good too but the tacos took the win. We ordered by phone and once we got there it turned out they never wrote the order down- but they were able to give us our order quickly. read more

Fantastic place. I've driven by at least a dozen times and never stopped in, but a good friend recommended it, so I gave it a try. So glad I did! The Birria in all forms was amazing and the hit of our group, whether in a street taco or in a quesobirria, it was moist, tender and super flavorful. The pastor was good and the carne asada had great flavor and was not dry and overcooked like many places make it. The beans were smooth with the right side touch of heat and the guacamole was fresh and thick. They have a homemade salsa bar that offers a thin spicy guacamole that is very different from a side order of guac. Excited to come back for either the ramen Birria (yes you read that correctly) or the posole. Definitely add this to your list! They even have a drive through that seemed to be even more busy than inside the restaurant. read more

I came here on a Tues at 5pm in mid May. I was apprehensive when I noticed there wasn't a single car in the drive-thru. Most of the Mexican restaurants run specials on their tacos on Tues and are extremely busy. If they had a taco special here you couldn't tell by looking at the menu in the drive-thru. I love fish tacos and the majority of Mexican restaurants don't get it right. (And Rubio's is OVERRATED) I was surprised to see their fish tacos were $3.99! But... they were huge! I ordered two, but one would have been enough. They were different than most of the other restaurants but pretty good. I ordered carne asada tacos for my family and I tried one. I liked the price ($2.09 I believe) and the meat had good flavor. I could taste a bit of the smoke from the grill. But they could have really used something more. They just had onions and cilantro. A bit of shredded queso fresco would have really balanced the cilantro. I liked them enough to come back but nothing about this visit made Tacos El Paisa stand out in a very crowded, competitive segment of fast good. read more

Got another wonderful meal best tacos around I got 4 chicken & 4 Carne Asada tacos Service was great again and fast I will be coming back here many many times read more

Incredible food. I got the quesabirria tacos and they were amazing. Maybe the best casual Mexican food I've ever had. The service was overall pretty quick. We had a large order and they got it out to us in just a couple minutes. My wife got the rolled tacos and she loved them as well. read more

Fraud**Beware!!**What I was charged on my receipt is not what Was charged to my bank account and I am not very happy about that!! imagine all the people they get away with doing this to?! Please pay attention to your bank account if you use your credit or debit card to pay here! just a fair warning! Other than that, the food was good. read more

My favorite place is Arizona. Delicious. Wonderful experience every time. And there is a Piñata store across the street as a bonus!

I bought tacos today there to try them out I bought 9 tacos and they charge me 27 dollars and when I opened the box they were the small tacos. Totally over priced. I don't recommend this place for the price they charge. I'd recommend to pass on this place and instead go to the ranch market. Pass on tacos el paisa. read more

I usually love this place but today my husband went through the drive through after a long day at work he worked 12 hours today. Anyways he ordered the pasole and gave us menudo and didn't even give us our bread with the meal, he ordered a plain carne asada burrito and the meat looked like it was left overs from the Burt stuff off of the grill and it tasted like crap. On top of it just those two things was almost 30 dollars and we didn't even get drinks!!! Got our order wrong and it tasted disgusting!! Very disappointed!! Will not be coming back!! The lady at the drive through was also very rude and impatient with my husband! Do not recommend any more!! read more

Tried this place for the first time today. Giving 1 star because our entire order was $68 but they double charged me for 1 sour cream and we paid $4 for a side of beans which we did not get in our order. Looks like this place has a habit of stealing and over charging customers according to the other reviews. So be wary of this establishment! I live 30 mins away so the above discoveries didn't happen until it was too late and not worth the gas to go back and correct the mistakes. I Ordered a breakfast burrito with steak, bacon, eggs, cheese and hash browns. The flavor was good but the bacon was thick chunks almost like ham and both the steak and bacon had tons of chewy fat. Every bite I took of the burrito a big mass of meat would free itself and was quite difficult to eat. The Birria quesadilla was not tasty and was swimming in oil and not shredded like normal Birria. I ordered chips and salsa to go with the beans that were missing so a lot went to waste with this order. Overall the flavors were just alright and textures not very good. Bottom line: avoid this place if you don't want to be ripped off/robbed of your hard earned money and if you're willing to risk it, then check your order before leaving! Food here is not spectacular so probably best to just skip it! If you want real good Birria tacos then Unos Tacos Y Birria is a better option and is down the street from here. And for excellent breakfast burritos try Mr Mesquite. Will I be returning here? Hard no for me. I'd much rather spend my money at a place that takes pride in their food and quality controls their orders. No one likes paying for invisible food or food that sucks! read more

This place is so good! I can't believe someone would rate it so low. It used to be a Senor Taco, which I loved too. Now it's "Tacos El Paisa" and It's terrific. The people working were very nice and in a good mood. I had a shrimp burrito... YUM. Big and fresh shrimp and a great sauce..so juicy and delicious. Please give them a try, you'll be happy you did. 5 big stars, Highly recommended. read more

I was hesitant because we came here thinking it was a different Mexican food place. We tried the carne asada super nachos and got a free churro for liking them on Facebook. The nachos and green salsa were so good! The warm filled churros were amazing! We can't wait to try other food from here! read more

This place used to be one of my family's favorite dinner choice. We would go about once a week to get El Pastor & Carne Asada; they would forget an item or 2 but not really a big deal, we got into the habit of double checking our order before we left. The food was always fresh & authentic tasting so we kept going back for more despite the forgettable staff. Our latest visit left us more than dissatisfied when they completely switched our order for another customers.. when the other patron came back to get their correct food; the staff just handed us the original order. It had left the establishment & been inside their vehicle, I strongly felt this should have been remade but after the multiple mistakes in the past, this was our final straw. If you get what you order, the food is worth it. read more

I drove here on my lunch break ordering 2 tacos at the drive through. I sat for over 15 minutes just for them to tell me "it's almost ready". I was the only one at the drive through. I was running out of time and left with them charging my card and without food. If their authorization on my card doesn't fall off I will file a charge back with my bank that will not only get my money back, but will charge this establishment for a charge back. Incredibly poor service from this place. If you're on a time crunch, don't go here. So much for having a drive through. read more

Waited in line for over 10min behind 1 guy. Drove up to the window passing the other customer and saw that no one was even up front. Food is ok at best. Then I went inside to order was taken care of just fine and the blame was put on the other customer who was taking long per their words. Stepped out for a bit and when I came back the 2 girls were huddled up talking and dispersed as soon as I stepped back in. Will NOT be returning. read more

The McDonald's of the Mexican fast food industry. They never completely get it right. The inconsistencies here are brutal. I strongly believe it's a management or lack thereof problem. Everyone is doing the best they can with minimal training or instruction. Their hard shell tacos are really good. Good enough for me to come back and deal with the inconsistencies and ridiculous wait time when the place seems slow or empty? Probably not. If they can get their act together then maybe I'll give it another shot. read more

I have been 3 times now. Each time has been real good. The wife gets the Pastor tacos, they aren't greese like back yard tacos. The Piasa Burrito with Asada is good. There is Anehiem chile, cheese, guac, Asada for $8. The Agua Fresca are good also. Some of the best Mexican I've had in A while. 5 tacos, burrito, 2 large drinks $24 good deal now days. read more

Long wait in drive thru. I ordered 2 meals with only one car in front of me. Food seemed pricier then other Mexican food places. The chili rellenos were really soggy in a watery sauce. The rice was crunchy and the beans were okay. read more

If you are ready for one of the best pastor tacos then this is the place you need to try! Hands down, I can't see myself finding anything better, the staff is also very friendly and the portion sizes are very generous! read more

Bad customer service and they never get my order correct . Or don't prep food as described on the menu

Food is never consistent they always mess up my order giving me shit I didn't even order or shorting ingredients. This place started off good not it's just trash ! Closing time says 10 but they always close by 9:30 or even earlier . If they done plan on starting open till ten why not change your hours to reflect that read more

We were a party of 5 people and every single one of us were pleasantly amazed at how good the food was. I've had a lot of Mexican food in my day Tacos El Paisa has jumped to my top spot. I had the quesabirria tacos and torta paisa hands down the best I've had of both. Thank you so much. read more

Worst service, long wait time, and food is ok at best. You have better luck driving out of your way to Filibertos.

I visited this location for the 4th or 5th time yesterday and order an asada burrito, three chicken rolled tacos as a combo, and I was attempting to order one quesabirria taco with consome. The drive through menu was broken so the employee told me to drive up for a paper menu. I drive up and waited for about 5 minutes for the car in front of me to do the same. No big deal. My turn at the window and she hands me a menu and asks if I know what I want. I said no I need like two minutes to look at the menu. I had a few questions when she came back but she was so busy I don't think she was listening. I was trying to explain the taco I wanted and I could tell there was confusion so I said, "you know, the virtual taco with the consome?" She told me there was a charge for the sauce and I said that was fine. Then she told me my total was almost $30 and I was confused but I paid. I looked at the receipt and realized she had charged me for a taco with birria ($3) and a side of consome ($3.25)! Over $6 and it wasn't even what I was trying to order. When she came back it was with the food and I asked about it and she said it was right and the prices had gone up. The line was so long I didn't want to argue so I left just thinking I'll go when they're not so busy and flustered next time. When I got home I realized it was like a street taco that couldn't be dipped in the sauce bc it was already falling apart and the meat was disgusting. I was furious but decided to wait and call for a replacement today. When I called today the employee who answered the phone was basically blaming me. I just wanted a replacement. read more

The food is okay at best, that's if they get your order right. The service is the WORST out of any place I have ever been to. Only go here is you're trying to wait 15-30 mins for your order and that's through the drive-thru. read more

Today we tried the quesabirrias and they were amazing !!! I honestly recommend coming to eat here for the quesabirrias !

They have very yummy food but the drive through always takes forever!! I'm taking 20 min wait, so I don't recommend driving though if you want it to be fast. read more

Tortillas were awesome. But the pastor was dry and tasteless. Carne asada was ok. Beans and rice were good. Tacos were dry also. First and only time coming in. read more

I've mostly gone during mid day to early afternoon. Tonight I went at around 8:35p I didnt leave the drive thru window till about 8:48p. I was asked at the drive thru menu if i could wait a minute. I accepted as there were at least 4 cars in front of me. Then after 4 minutes and the other cars had left, and another came up behind me. The girl on the headset seemed like she forgot about drive thru all together and was laughing or giggling on the headset seemingly like its a joke to forget your customers. After ordering I was not told my order total and asked what it was before pulling around to the window. After hearing the total i pulled around to the window and upon sitting at the window for another full radio song and halfway thru another she came and took my payment. I waited thru another song and a half before my order came and was handed to me. She never said thanks or come again or anything of the like. Just quiet as a bee i took my food from her and left. Im tempted to tell you how to train your employees. The food was still good. TL:DR Service Sucks at night. Go at midday , or early afternoon. Food is still good. read more

I come here two to three times a week. I love the food. I went there today to the drive thru and forgot to ask the cashier for lemons. The manager handed me my food and closed the window real quick. I motioned for her and asked for limes. She gave me some but then told me that for next time, if I wanted limes that I needed to come inside and get them. I asked why and she said the owners said and that she didn't know. I asked why they do that and she said cause if she is busy she does not have time to get me limes. That if I want them then I need to ask at the menu box. I have been coming to this location since it was señor taco And never once had a problem when I asked for limes until today. I . disappointed to hear this, especially because I spend so much hard earned money here. read more

This place took over the Senor Taco on Arizona Ave. We stopped in one night not knowing this take over has occurred. We decided to give it a try and will not be going back. The carne asada was so heavily sauced and the mesquite overpowered the taste of the meat. I ate about 3 bites of my burrito and tossed the rest. Bring back Senor Taco immediately!!! read more
