    We were in the area and had to stop in to Tacos Lopez! We actually drove past it before turning back to find it! What a great experience- you got to know what you want before heading to the counter. The folks are really nice but the crowd will be expecting you to move along! [[HIGHLIGHT]]At 345pm on a Saturday is amazing! We did end up getting a table but it is BUSY![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The taco choice is fantastic- we got 5 Carne Asada 4 pastor and a cheese quesadilla which came with beans and cheese. The food is fantastic and love that they dressed all the tacos. Got the grill onions and jalapeño on the side all excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is busy - it's a quick meal but awesome tacos[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Some of the best tacos I've had, anywhere. All of the meats we tried (al pastor, carne asada, chorizo) were incredible. We saw the huge al pastor rotisserie and thought nothing would top that, but all options were truly excellent. The guac, tortillas, and agua frescas were also top-notch. There's a salsa bar with several options, one of which had a nice heat! My husband recommends the quesadillas too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's busy, crowded, and loud- we felt lucky to grab a couple spots at the counter- but things move quickly, and we didn't see anyone waiting too long for food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely return!

    The food was mid, it did have a lot of flavor but unfortunately, we got food poisoning (4 out of 5 did) because he only had a horchata and did not even eat anything so he looked out, but us other four was extremely sick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a very small building for how busy it is and how loud the music is playing you can't even hear the cashier![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]it's just not a very clean environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Brings me back to the cashier who couldn't hear me and messed up my order (reason why my son didn't eat here) she didn't even get the poor kid cheese quesadilla.... WORST FIRST EXPERIENCE HERE AND WONT EVER RECOMMEND!! One thing for advice on the employees is to WASH YOUR HANDS and learn English because you didn't even understand the words of the little old lady who ordered before us!!!

    Asada and Al pastor tacos. Best Al pastor I've ever tasted!
    Brad H.

    This has got to be one of The Best tacos in the valley. No, I haven't tried every single taco in the valley, of course. And since I've only lived here for five months, I'm definitely a newbie. But I can definitely stand by my statement. Let me explain... I just moved from Tucson, Arizona. You know...Tucson? Mexican food utopia? Tucson is the first North American city to be named by UNESCO as a Gastronomic Capital of the World. Yep. Mostly for its wide variety and quality of Mexican food, Tucson has an incredible array of cultures represented in restaurant cuisine. I've been a Yelp Elite there for 13 years. I have eaten at a lot of tacos from restaurants and the dynamic food truck scene there. I had my doubts moving here that I would find any good Mexican food. Tacos Lopez has the best al pastor that I've ever had in my life! You read that right. I knew that I was at the right place. I arrived five minutes to closing. It was still busy and bustling with business. Shoot, it was party time there. There was no English being spoken in the restaurant. Yes, I'm at the right place. The tacos are Tijuana style. The meat is SOOOOO good! The carne asada is also muy excellente! I just love the presentation, the ingredients, the flavors--everything is excellent. I enjoy their horchata and limonade. I always say "Si!" when they ask if I want the onions and peppers. They are grilled onions and jalapeno peppers and they are SO good! Served in a paper tray. I've been here four or five times. Consistently good. Service is quick. Ambiance is a busy cafe, crowded, you probably share a long table with others. There is outdoor seating, which is always full because every time I've been there, it has been packed. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    Al pastor tacos and asada tacos

    They have the best al pastor tacos I've tried anywhere. The efficiency of their line, cleanliness, and ordering process could be vastly improved. 5/5 for food, 3/5 for the experience.

    We ordered food to go but the person who took my order was very friendly and the restaurant had a…read morebig sitting area. The food was very good. We ordered a smothered burrito and crispy tacos with consome. Everything was super tasty, they also included green and red salsa, onions and cilantro, grilled onions and jalapeño, and lime which I think is great service. Thanks so much! We'll definitely be back.

    I am writing this to share my experience regarding an order I placed today. I called at 2:00 p.m…read more to get a quote for 31 tacos and eight sides of consommé, which I was quoted at $136. When I asked to add four more tacos, the price jumped to $175. When I politely asked for clarification on the math--as $40 for four tacos seemed excessive--the staff member became defensive and snappy. Instead of explaining the charges, she told me to "come inside and see for myself" in a very condescending tone. The unprofessionalism continued when I asked if there would be an extra charge for onions and jalapeños. Rather than answering a simple yes or no, she responded with further attitude, demanding to know if I "wanted it or not" before finally stating it was included. Despite the terrible service, I proceeded with the order and requested a 9:30 p.m. pickup time to ensure the food would be ready for a strict 10:00 p.m. deadline for my brother. Despite placing this order seven hours in advance, the food was not ready when my mom arrived at 9:30 p.m., and she was forced to wait. Between the rude, dismissive attitude of the staff and the failure to have a pre-ordered meal ready on time, I am extremely disappointed. I will not be returning to this location

Wow, excellent service. The guy came out to my window after I left, he noticed that I didn't get any salsa. I mentioned that I had never been to the restaurant before, I think he wanted to make sure I got salsa if I wanted some. That saved me the frustration of getting home to find that I didn't have what I needed. Another thing that was nice that they did was ask how far I was going, I got it to go. He realized that the tortillas would get soggy, so he put them on the side. I love a new restaurant because they do everything they can to make the experience the very best. I hope that they continue to think of themselves as a new restaurant 50 years from now. If they do, this will be an incredibly successful restaurant. I wish you and your staff the very best

The Al pastor meat was good but a little on the sweet side. We loved the spicy red salsa. The Alambre meat was good but the pineapple tasted over ripe.
