A family and friend favorite! A great local neighborhood business that is here to stay. We've ordered cakes for birthdays, desserts after dinner & meals for when there isn't comida en la casa! The elders are respectful, kind and helpful when trying to decide. The food is made as you order so, bring your patience with your appetite. My family is from Northern Mexico and the cooking style here is super close to how my mom cooks so I know it's going to be what I want Every time I order. They have a great variety of options and reasonably priced! The inside is small and standing room only, thankfully they have a nice shaded patio set up with music, misters, and table fans to keep the flys away. read more

Walking in, the place is so bright and the lady at the counter greets with a warm smile. They have a pretty big menu so there's something for everyone in terms of Mexican food options. They have a beautiful display case of desserts as well. I got a green chile beef Gordita, 2 carne asada street tacos, and horchata. I waited about 10-15 minutes for my food to be ready. The tortillas were so fresh and soft. The meat in the tacos was delicious and it had a good amount of onion and cilantro. They offered 3 different salsa options so I went with hot. It wasn't very spicy to me. The green chile beef in the Gordita was lacking something, maybe salt. But everything was hot, fresh, and well made. The tortillas are really to die for! I'll be back for more tacos! read more

I found this gem on social media in my community. I have visited several times and have always had a Wonderful experience. When I want a nice chrispy ground beef taco, this is the spot. I also love how they have potato tacos. I finally tried the Chorizo breakfast burrito add potatoes and cheese and ...ooh wee good! Now, let's get to the great flavors in the Albondigos soup. Hearty with a fair share of meatballs and veggies. I loved it! I'll be back. read more

It's Taco Tuesday again! four pastor street tacos. Tender juicy pork as always. In my past reviews I think I always had enchilada style chimis, but I just wanted to recommend the "Crispy chimi" and maybe have the enchilada sauce on the side. The chimis are so much better when they're still crispy when you bite into them. Love Tacos n Cakes and I'm very grateful they are so close to me. However, I wish someone there would manage their online profiles to at least update their seemingly everchanging random business hours. So many times I have showed up for food and they were closed despite the hours posted on their door saying they're supposed to be open, and I'm not even talking about their several-week "summer vacation". read more

I just discovered this place on Wednesday and made my 3rd trip back today. Their food is so good. I've tried the ground beef enchilada plate and it was so flavorful and the beans and rice were so good. The ground beef tacos are excellent made just the way I like them, full of meat, fresh lettuce, tomato and cheese. I also tried the green chili burrito which was so flavorful with tender meat and great spices. They also have cakes, cake slices, tres leches cake slices and other desserts. I tried the Lemon cake slice with buttercream frosting and it was delicious . I got a strawberry sclice to try later. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed. read more

Was a little disappointed that it wasn't a sit down restraunt but it was cooler outside so we decided to eat at one of the tables outside. When ordering the guy at the register was very nice and I told him that I was hesitant in buying the special. It was Wednesday and the special was chimichanga. He said if I get it and don't like it I could have my money back hmmn So I decided to give it a try and let me tell you it was one of the best I have ever had. I kind of didn't want to leave this review because I know its just going to contribute to the lines being longer but honestly the reviews are true it really is that good. Give it a try you won't regret it. read more

Haven't even finished the food but I gotta put this review in. Very nice people when I walk in, all smiles. Quite a small shop but clean and cute. The food is great. Doña Maclovia lunch special is spot on. Tender beef in both sauces. Rice and beans are standard but done very well. Crispy shredded beef taco is great too. Crisp shell and crisp veggies, tender, moist beef inside. Very happy I tried this place, next is their bakery Edit: The Flan is so good, just wish they had a whole bucket sized one. read more

Came here for a family dinner one night. We ordered take out and chose to try the beef rolled tacos, asada torta, asada tacos, green chili chimi, and a tres leches cake. Overall the food was enough to eat but not enough to savor and come back. Some items seemed over fried in oil that it was too crispy, the meat didn't taste fresh, and lacked a lot of seasoning. The only thing I enjoyed was the tres leches cake. I really wanted to like this place as it was close to home and a local business. They do have a pretty good size menu so I may try again for breakfast items or other lunch/dinner and update my review at that time. read more

When I tell you that I have no words to describe how wonderful the strawberry tres leches cake was ....I had no words. Explaining that it was great will not do it Justice- just go have a slice. My very picky husband loved the food and he had a picadillo taco and a Tocino,Juevo, papá, y queso burrito. I had a red Chile with beans chimichanga. All so delish, the guacamole fresh and well made. If you live a bit far and do not want to take this home, keep in mind there are tables on the patio and you may sit outside. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, it is very clean and bright. read more

AMAZING customer service! We found this place with my sister over the weekend, trying to find a place to satisfy our sweet tooth and I found this place and couldn't be happier. Elizabeth (the owner) welcomed us with a huge smile! She was very nice and friendly. We ordered a few tres leches cakes (vanilla, lemon and nuts) the cakes were delicious, fluffy and fresh, full of flavor and we also had a few cake pops. Elizabeth gave us a few free samples too. The place is very clean and cute and we will definitely come back to try the food (they have a large menu with tons of options). They were very friendly with our dog as well so it is nice to know that they are a pet friendly business in the South side definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Located at 2610 W Baseline Rd, Ste 114, Phoenix, AZ, this hidden gem combines two culinary delights: tacos and cakes. Tacos: From classic carne asada to creative specialties, their taco selection is a flavor-packed The street tacos are a must-try as well as their shredded beef taco. My fav side note I'm picky about my Mexican food, and I only like what my momma makes me! Cakes: Surprisingly, they also excel in cakes. Moist, flavorful, and beautifully decorated, they satisfy your sweet cravings. Affordability: Enjoy high-quality food without breaking the bank. It's an excellent value for the portions you receive. Lunch is from 11 am to 4, which is a score! Location: Situated near a busy road, it's easy to access, making it a great stop for locals and travelers alike. In summary, this small taco shop and bakery is a budget-friendly culinary haven. Delicious food, tempting cakes, and a convenient location make it a must-visit in South Phoenix. Don't miss out on this hidden gem! This is my English review. My Spanish review...Está para chuparse los dedos! read more

What a surprise. I live near this restaurant and it started out as a bakery only then added tacos and a whole other menu not long after. Tacos and cakes isn't a sit down type of restaurant and only has a couple of tables I assume most food is to go. The menu is pretty big and offers a lot of options like street tacos, crispy tacos, burritos, gorditas, quesadillas, breakfast, and other items and bottled or canned drinks. I ordered the chimi special with chicken and two crispy chicken tacos. One nice thing about the menu is the ability to create a combo from anything as rice and beans can be added to anything for $2.99. The lunch specials are reasonably priced as well as the rest of the menu. I was offered a choice of three salsas to accompany my meal, mild red, hot red and green. I opted for the red hot and the lady taking my order offered a warning but I did not heed to her advice as I can handle hot. The food was good, beans are on point, the rice was yellow and fluffy and nothing was over seasoned. The crispy tacos were good sized and contained shredded chicken and the chimi had a different chicken that was diced. That is something you don't find as most Mexican restaurants will use he same chicken for all dishes. The chimi came with guacamole and sour cream on he side and the hot sauce was hot and spicy and paired well with the food. It's quaint and I didn't have to wait long and I enjoyed the food so far. Can't wait to order more. read more

Excellent food. I ordered the 3 chicken enchiladas combo with rice and beans. The chicken was tender and the flavor of the enchilada sauce was authentic. The beans were homemade and so delicious. The spanish rice was perfectly seasoned. Tacos N Cakes is a small quaint place tucked into the corner of the strip mall at 2610 W. Baseline. The ambience of the place is festive and colorful. Very welcoming. The place is clean and you can the see the cooks in the background wearing hair nets. The kitchen looks very clean. The wait time was not long and the food was hot.

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 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.

You walk up to order (like chipotle) and then take your food to your seat. The line was almost out the door but moved relatively quickly. I tried all the salsas and the orange one was my favorite. None of them are very spicy, in my opinion-they do have some heat but nothing that will blow your pallet out. My 18 month old had the red one and liked it, if that tells you anything. The pastor is what I ate, the gringa and the taco. Both were exceptional. The meat was super flavorful and all of the toppings contributed to the flavor. The gringa-with the cheese was very greasy, so be ware. Not sure if it really needed that, the taco version is perfect to me. Chips come with a big thing of the red salsa and that was good to have. Lots of families were there. They don't have high hairs just fyi.

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 :)

I didn't know this place would not have table service. You order at the register. That sucks for…read morethe servers because they won't make service tips and they still bring stuff to the tables often. The water is serve yourself and they ran out of both of them. I feel like thats a rubios or mc Donald's vibe. Ceviche should be like $11, $14 wasn't worth it. Vegetable taco should be cheaper than all the tacos and it was just sweet potato inside. The tacos are good but they're not what I was expecting. This is more of a fast food style taco. The whole restaurant reminds me of Rubios. The only things we didn't like were the chips and the rice and beans were not good at all, not even Mexican. But like I said the food is good with nice flavors but for a $5 taco I expected plates and table service. No one wants to stand up to order a marg and then order another one after, they'll prob just order 1 marg and go somewhere else when they're done eating, it's not smart. It's not relaxing to eat here after work. We were all fighting for the tables and it's not a vibe. Not enough inside seats and tons of outdoor seats. I'd totally tell the owner to close up the register area, expand the kitchen, and get the girls to be servers. No one wants to pay full price ceviche and tacos to a restaurant with no table service. The vibe doesn't match the price so I think you should change the vibe to be high end and step up service to match the prices of food. Or match the vibe to a fast food all the way and change some prices. The food is fast so they can easily do a drive thru or walk up and order window. Should be $3 for veggie, $4 for regular taco $5 for loaded or special tacos with expensive The guac matches the vibes! Sold in plastic cups. And $6.50 $4 on happy hour. That explains the vibes of the restaurant perfectly.

This is a go-to for tacos for me. They're quick, fresh, and well-priced. The grilled meat is…read moresavory, the beans are outrageously good, and their salsas tie it all together with a fresh, spicy touch. 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.

The asada was very tender and not chewy but it lacked the smoke flavor I'm looking for in asada, but it was well seasoned. The birria was super savory, you can taste the spices - cinnamon, star anise, clove. Perfectly tender and juicy when dipped in the consume all wrapped up in a crispy corn tortilla.

We were a bit worried with parking because we saw that it was in downtown, but they have a designated private lot for customers. Inside was so spacious and had such cool decor. It definitely made the vibe more fun. This is also the first location that I saw with the combo deal compared to the one I usually go to in Gilbert. We ordered carne asada and al pastor tacos and mulitas. So so good. I loveee how you can choose between corn or flour for your tortilla. I like the corn tortilla more. The sauces and toppings were left out for us to take which I appreciate so much. If you want jalapeno or grilled onions, you have to ask them at the pick up station. The horchata was also hugee and sharable. I am definitely coming back when I am in the area. I love how there are plenty of tacos calafia location. They also take apple pay.

We ordered 2 different types of burritos (Cali and chile relleno) and a carnita taco/ birria taco and asada taco. The food was just ok. The meat had no flavor at all. The birria taco is supposed to be crunchy and it was soggy. It just was pretty mediocre tasting and I really wanted to like it. Personally the best part was the crepe that was served at bread and honey

I used to live in Phoenix, and I tried this place for the first time literally the same week I was…read moremoving to Denver. 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.
