I came upon this restaurant from a recommendation I'd received on the Next Door app claiming they had "Amazing Tacos AND Cakes." Well...the have tacos, and they have cakes. However both are a far cry from "Amazing" and this is hardly a restaurant for that matter. The fact is, the place itself is too small to have tables inside, which for Arizona summers is a big necessity, but we had a to-go order so not such a big deal. I ordered Carne Asada tacos, Spanish rice, some Tres Leches Pecan cake and some macaroons. My family and I love good tacos, however this was anything but. The meat was so very salty like it had been marinating in a salty brine for days. The Spanish rice was the opposite, no salt at all and completely flavorless. The macaroons had far too much sugar, the only saving grace was the tres leches cake that brought this rating up to 2 stars as opposed to 1. Suffice to say that I don't plan to return and neither should anyone else, except maybe for a little cake. No thanks read more

Love this place! They have multiple flavors or tres letches cakes and they were all delicious! My favorites were Oreo and vanilla with pineapple filling!!! We also not nachos with chicken and green chili pork burritos! The nachos were great but they did use nacho cheese instead of melted shredded cheddar cheese so if you enjoy nacho cheese you're in luck!! The burritos were phenomenal and the tortilla was to die for! Will definitely be back and im so happy this new place is close to home! read more

(This review is only about the "tacos" portion of tacos n cakes). Phone in your order to save time, otherwise expect to wait 10-15 mins for your food. I've had about half the menu at this point and haven't had a bad experience. I especially like their salsas. read more

This small storefront offers tacos and cakes, as well as ice cream. The menu includes breakfast burrito offerings until noon as well as tacos, enchiladas, tortas, and a lot of other items. I got the 12 street taco special which includes 4 chicken, asada, and pastor tacos PLUS beans and rice. The food was freshly made and very flavorful. My favorite was the pastor. I will be back to try the cakes and the gorditas! Lots of parking available at this location on 27th Avenue and Baseline. read more

Lordy where to start? So many events happened at this spot. From the food to our desert to the cook / owner asked us how was everything & my bf tells him there was a problem with our dinner. He had that look on his face of shock & asks to see the inside of the container. We show it to him & it looks as if nothing was touched. He asked what was wrong & my bf simply said "not a daymn thing! Everything was amazing". (Plus some other Spanish words giving props that I don't know how to spell or say). Boy he was relived but got a laugh out of it. We had the chimichanga enchilada style & they were so much better than PoPo's, their rice & beans were puuurrfect (im picky when it comes to these items & a few other things). So needless to say the food was. Desert time was another issue. With the choices and the fact that they make 3 leches cakes (hesitant because not many can do this cake). So we decided on a pineapple slice, trasumi slice & a neopolitan in the cup. Upon paying a sweet woman asked us if this was our 1st time & we said yes, she gave us a slice of lemon tres leches cake. Now your wondering how good the cakes were?? Again no complaints whatsoever. My bf has never had tres leches & he was impressed that I barely got to taste any of them.! I my bf i want my b'day cake from them in the very near future & he mentioned he also wants his from there. Interesting name for a place one would say. But ooo my it was such a special surprise. Thank you Tacos & Cakes read more

Found this place driving by after visiting Cesar Chavez park. Looked cute and I love supporting small businesses! And who doesn't like tacos and cake?!?? I ordered a carne asada torta with a side of beans and my partner ordered a combo enchilada platter with one cheese enchilada and one chicken enchilada. For funsies we threw in an order of chips and salsa and a piece of the tres leches cake with pecans. First, the "good": My torta was ok, nothing special, but apparently the most expensive thing on the menu. Chips and salsa were very fresh and tasty. Beans were ok, not a whole lot of flavor. Now for the bad: my partner opened his to-go container to discover he was given 3 enchiladas instead of 2! Why is this bad? They were ALL beef enchiladas! He ordered chicken and cheese... he was bummed and did not enjoy them. I was reallllyyyy looking forward to the tres leches cake because I've never had it before (and I LOVE sweets) but I can't say anything about it because we didn't receive it in our order. Bye $4.50. We were starving and don't live on that side of town so by the time we realized, it wasn't worth making the trip back. Overall very disappointing. I wish this business success, they have a nice idea with the sweets (thrifty ice cream, what?!!) and food but they're disorganized and a little overpriced considering it's not like a real cantina. read more

Amazing tacos!!! I can't wait to go back and get a slice of the tres leches cake!! Love this spot!!

Love their food!! Every time I get my hair done I come to this place and get street tacos with a brownie. My mom loves their ice cream. Recommend 100%. read more

We stopped by TacosnCakes for the first time and so thankful that we did! It was hard to decide what to order because everything sounded delicious! Ended up ordering carne asada street tacos, burro enchilada style, rice, and a slice of blueberry cheesecake. We enjoyed every single bite! We definitely recommend this restaurant and we look forward to going back! read more

My wife and I love to eat out and try new places. Today 14 January 22 was my fist time trying this place. I ordered 8 carne asada street tacos for around $26 including a $3 tip. I was expecting a good flavor but was disappointed. Salsa is just spicy not a good flavor, very little meat on tacos. Carne was chewy and big chunks of fat. Clean place but not very friendly. We are not adding this place to our favorite list of eat out places. Eat there at your own discretion. thumbs down read more

This place is consistently delicious and the service is phenomenal. Delicious food and pastries!

The food here is great. Hot, fresh and most importantly good. We had Their chicken crispy chimichanga and shredded beef as advertised crispy and flavors were all on point. Love this hidden gem. Tres leches is definitely worth the drive. read more

Found a cute little lunch spot nearby today. They have a good variety of mexican options not only for lunch but also breakfast and dinner. After your meal you can also order cake pops, cake slices, a whole cake or icecream all in one spot! My husband is a whorechata snob and said it was one of the better ones he has had. For me, I was happy it wasnt overly sweet and it was perfectly balanced with cinammon, vanilla and sugar. The shrimp was perfectly breaded and not too oily, and was served over a salad. The fries were homemade hand cut which I totally appreciate, the rice and beans tasted like mom's cooking too. My green chile burrito was wrapped in what looked and tasted like a handmade tortilla, and the filling had chunks of beef and saucey mild green sauwce! I said homemade a lot but that really sums up the flavor of everything here! Nothing canned or premade. So if you are in the area, make sure to stop by this mom and pop place. read more

Ordered 50 rolled tacos to be ready for pick up at 3:00. Arrived at restaurant at 3:25, waited for 10 minutes for them to locate my order. I was then handed a try of cold taquitos. I asked why I was being served cold food. "Do you want it warmed?" Yes!!!! Waited another 15 min only to be given a Luke warm tray. I was then told it was because we took long to pick up....disappointed, I took my luke warm taquitos to my party and will not order catering from them again. read more

We just purchased a strawberry tres leches cake for a co-worker's work anniversary and it was amazingly good! The whipped cream frosting was rich and flavorful, and the cake was moist and delicious. A co-worker got the enchiladas with red sauce and she said they were wonderful! We will definitely be going back for more of their cuisine. I also live in Laveen, which is the land of the restaurant-deprived, so I am THRILLED to find a new place to get great food AND desserts. Try it, you will definitely love it! read more

It's really gotten a lot better since my last review. Meat is better seasoned and the salsa got better too! Tuesday is also a great price with discounted tacos. read more

Incredible food. Best in the area easily. Both the Mexican food and desserts are great for the price.

For a half sheet with just frosting they were attempting to have me pay 175 dollars. I asked for a edible picture and they were unable to do it. They said it would be a picture that would be needed to be taken off before eating. So what would I be paying that crazy amount for such a small cake for? read more

I cannot express how delicious their food is, I've tried about half their menu now and everything I've had has me coming back for more, out of everything I've had, their pastor tacos (with flour tortillas) and their Sonoran dog were they best and I'd highly recommend. Super friendly staff, food always comes out timely even during a rush, the place is small and has outside seating, but is always clean and well kept read more

This cake was moist and delicious. It came out perfectly. We also ate lunch there and it was also delicious. read more

I placed order over the phone and was happy my food was ready with the timeframe they provided. I got to quickly glance around and saw they offer many goodies. I will have to come back back to try their cakes! The carne asada and all pastor tacos were really good. My only advise it to ask for extra salsa as we only got one and had to share between 10 tacos lol. People inside the store were nice too :) read more

Start off with the everyday deal 12 tacos with rice n beans three kinds of taco flavor chicken carne asada pastor all great tasting the food menu is on point for your taste buds becoming your best bud then try the pastry side now your tastebuds come alive with the tress leche pecan cake slice along with cookies parfaits banana sundae wait just get over here and have read more

$8 just to write a sentence on a cake that's ridiculous! Then it took 30min for them to write

The food is great but they don't listen to request. It wasn't a one time thing. It has happened a couple of time. They always offer us to remake it but who has time to go back every single time to have your order right. It should be done the first time. read more

The cheese cake was bomb, the chimichanga was alright. Small space, you can sit outside - Uber casual. They provide a lot of sauce options which was super nice. I got it to go while on vacation and it's not necessarily a place I would go back to. read more

I've ordered several items from the menu. My favorite is the crispy chicken tacos, rice and beans. Delicious! I also ordered a cake for my graduation and I was pleasantly surprised on the decor and taste. It was an amazing cake! read more

Fair prices and good food, can't ask for much more. I treat myself to their food at the end of every big job I do, I will go out of my way to do so. Never been disappointed with anything I've ordered and I love that all of the employees are masked while they cook/handle my food. read more

Wonderful service met the owner Javier he was very friendly and helpful ....the red chili burrito was delicious had lots of carne in it ...I recommend this place if you are in the area read more
