    Tacos
    Tiffany C.

    Came to this casual spot during a work trip for a quick dinner, and it didn't disappoint. You order at the counter, and they cook up your tacos so quick! I'd recommend the Al pastor and asada tacos with all the fixings! I only wish they had a spicier tacos because I love my spices!

    After deciding on where to head for lunch, I'm so happy we came here, to Tacos Huicho. Situated on the freeway frontage road, you'll find this hidden gem. Upon entry, you'll first find a pastry case with a wide selection of freshly made pan dulce which is all self serve. The gentleman at the ordering counter was very friendly & pleasant! The menu offers a huge variety of authentic dishes such as menudo, tamales, Gorditas even birria estilo Jalisco! Note that pozole, menudo & birria are served on weekends only. We opted for tacos de asada, Gordita de asada & birria. The birria was EXCELLENT. I only know of one other local place that serves this type of birria dish and it was as authentic as can be. Served soup style in a bowl, the broth was flavorful, spicy and very tender meat. Served with corn tortillas, make for excellent dippers into the broth. The Gordita was also excellent, and very generously portioned. Smothered with refried beans & topped with lettuce, tomato & queso fresco, this is a must try! Everything was excellent and I keep asking myself how I didn't know of this place sooner. The inside has a fair amount of tables, but beware it gets PACKED, so plan with time. I'll be back!!

    Torta Carne Asada

    Torta Carne Asada was on point. It has melted cheese on the toasted bun with avocado, tomatoes, and hot sauce. The pineapple Agua Fresca is great.

    Tongue tacos tamale and the rice and beans

    Good spot for late night taco run! They're open until midnight which is super cool! Between my boys and I we had 2 tongue tacos, 3 al pastor tacos, a tamal and rice and beans. The rice and beans were not it. Idk why not everyone can get the rice good it looks more like crumbs vs actual rice ? It's weird but I went for the tacos and they did not disappoint. The tongue was PERFECT, Al pastor too! The red salsa was SPICY which I loved! The tamal was ok too. The masa had good flavor. I also had the agua de piña which is pineapple water. It tasted powder bag mix and sweet which is lame because I love pineapple. The service was ok? The counter girl seemed passive aggressive like she was annoyed of my questions. I asked what the difference between "harina" tacos and "corn" tacos were and she said ones flour and ones corn and gave me a dumb look. I had asked her if the "harina" tacos were just handmade tortilla and she said she didn't know? Anyways she took my order and that the last interaction I had with anyone. But the tacos were great I will def go back for those.

    Tacos Huicho was a very good experience. What you want in a taco shop. No frills just good grub. I had the Al pastor taco which was one of my favorite street tacos I've had, the sweet pineapple chunks with the savory pork is exquisite. Also had the best hot salsa with some real growing heat behind it. My wife had an asada taco she really enjoyed with the guacamole salsa. Single bathroom and $1.50 feet if you want to pay with card so I'd advise cash. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Definitely would be back my favorite taco in Phoenix thus far.

    You get charged a $1.50 to use card and it smells like dirty mop water and rice was burnt bad

    Probably one of my favorite taco places in Phoenix. Don't let the outside appearance keep you from coming in. Once insdie the staff is very friendly and their prices are reasonable. I ordered 4 tacos and was full just from that. they offer a lot of pastry and fruit drinks as well. they have lunch specials that come with a side of refried beans and rice. The flavor was amazing and I wanted to eat more.

    This was the first stop on our self-guided taco tour through Phoenix. My husband got the el pastor and I got the carne asada taco. Both were delicious and set our expectations high for the rest of the day. The el pastor was definitely the star of the show. The service was kind and quick.

    Food was good but a bit pricey. Especially for a small Ear of Elote . Tacos were bigger than a street Taco so guess that was ok.

To die for. Chips are gratuit. Service is prompt and knowledgeable. The entrance is via the kitchen as this was once a home, now converted into a great eatery. So you come in the side door to the dining room . Wait staff all greet you and guide you to the dining room, festooned with roses and talavera tiles. It's not kitschy, just gorgeous. The menu is ample and you can't go wrong with anything. The initial refrito dip, tho yummy, has pork. But they have the best, the absolute best black beans!! Try them just for a change. You'll be converted. The dining area is small but cozy and beautifully done. So enjoy!!

The restaurant is inside of an old brick home with wood interior and warm colors. The service was good-- friendly and food came out at a good pace, we were checked on regularly. We ordered an appetizer and then entrees from the lunch menu. The aguachile appetizer is SO good. It's bright, fresh, and has a lot of flavor in the green sauce. It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

Also bring a group. The portions are huge and the food is clearly meant to be shared. Trust me on this one, bring friends. I've tried a bunch of dishes here, and there are a few I always go back to. For the table, Camarones Locos is an easy choice. The flame grilled shrimp comes out hot and full of flavor, perfect for passing around. La Patrona ceviche tower is massive and worth the order. When it hits the table, you immediately feel good about the decision. El Pulpazo is technically an entrée, but we always order it as a shareable. The octopus is grilled perfectly and it comes with rice and beans, so everyone gets a little of everything. For entrées, my number one pick is the Lobster and Crab Enchiladas with green sauce. I think about this dish at least once a week. The enchiladas are packed with lobster and crab, and the green sauce ties the whole thing together. Honestly, I could talk about this place all day. If you like Mexican food and seafood, you need to try it. Great food, big portions, and a menu that makes it hard to stop ordering.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
