    The tacos here were delicious! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Service was fast and the restaurant was cozy. Definitely worth stopping by.

    Great place with wonderful food but we were hounded a bit on our way in by a woman asking for help with laundry money. Still, my Chile Relleno Combo was great, and my wife and kids loved their orders also. Staff was super nice and there were lots of tables available. Decor was colorful and cheerful. We liked it, but for the discomfort on the way in. Good food!

    I had the fish taco, my son had lengua burrito and my husband had birria. Everything was so good. We ate so quickly the only dish left for me to photograph was the soup. Their salsas were amazing too. As well as horchata, sandia, and pepino and chia. The price was amazing too.

    Fish tacos
    Gretel Y.

    I placed a to-go order while in the area one evening. Although parking is limited at the front, there's more available in the back. We were greeted right away upon entering. The interior is surprisingly spacious and offers plenty of seating. I was happy to see them offer non-meat options like fish other than just veggies or beans. I ordered two fish tacos and one cheese quesadilla, both with corn tortillas for myself as well as a steak burrito for my son. Our items were ready within minutes. My fish tacos were okay, and the sauce and salsa it came with enhanced the flavor. However, the cheese quesadilla was bland and also needed sauce or salsa just to have any sort of flavor. My son said his burrito was "good," but he's easy to please. Their tacos appear to be a favorite among Yelpers, so perhaps I just chose the wrong items.

    Carne Asada Quesadilla

    By far my favorite taco spot in all of Arizona. The food is amazing, authentic, and consistently hits every time (my go-to order is the carne asada quesadillas, and they never disappoint). But honestly, what really sets them apart is the service. Every time I come in, Joselin and Fanny make my experience extra wonderful. One of the last times I visited, I was absolutely being the worst and walked in just a couple minutes before closing. Instead of being annoyed (which I probably deserved), they both welcomed me with a smile and were so kind and pleasant. You just don't find that level of care and service anymore. I always know I'm in good hands when I see Joselin. She is a total superstar. You can tell how invested and devoted she is to Taco Sahuaro. She's constantly going above and beyond to make sure every part of the experience feels seamless from the second you walk in to the second you leave. If she's not taking orders and answering questions with a smile, she's wiping down tables, checking in on customers, or communicating with the rest of the staff. She works so hard, and it shows. They've created something really special here. Highly, highly recommend.

    Carne Asada Gordita. Red sauce is lip buzzing good and green sauce is just perfect!
    Michael W.

    First impression from the outside is to keep driving, BUT DO NOT! This place is cute and clean on the inside. I ordered a carne asada Gordita it was fried to perfection and the ingredients were very fresh. Their bean and cheese burrito was also a delightful well-seasoned choice! Order and pay at the counter and they will bring it to you. Dig a little deeper in your pocket and enjoy their homemade drinks, out of this world!

    I've had Tacos Sahuaro on my Yelp bucket list and when I found myself near them recently, while it also being Taco Tuesday, it was a sign! The parking is limited, as they're right off 32nd street, but I was able to snag a spot in front and they do offer parking in the back, so something to keep in mind. They were bumping which is a great sign. Their Taco Tuesday special is .50 cents off at the time of review. They offer ample seating inside. You could definitely dine in easily with small or slightly larger groups. I asked the team member what her favorite was and she recommended the quesadilla with carne asada. I got one of those and tried their breakfast burrito, side of refried beans, pastor tacos and horchata. Overall, it was good not great. The taco was definitely the best of what we had and has great flavor. The breakfast burrito was a bit dry and the quesadilla was good but not stand out. I did love the refried beans they offered a perfect consistency. The horchata left a bit to be desired. The green salsa was delicious, but the red didn't do it for me. We did get it all to go and it was sitting in my car for about 30 minutes on my drive home.It was good and did scratch the itch hir want stand out overall. I would definitely visit them again to eat it fresh and probably stick with their tacos this time around.

    Tacos Sahuaro was a very nice experience. My wife had an asada taco and I had a guche pork belly taco. We both just had water but the juices looked good as well. Bigger space for a taco spot and had good AC friendly staff. Tacos had good flavor and the salsas had a lot of nice flavor as well. Definitely a great taco if you're in the area! Will be back.

    Business Hours and Parking in Rear of Building
    Shirley S.

    Tacos Sahuaro serves up some tasty bona fide Mexican food. When you arrive at the restaurant, you'll find an unassuming little strip mall with limited parking. (More limited parking is available if you pull around the building.) When you walk in, you'll be greeted by the sounds of Mexican folk music and a big dining room large enough to accommodate a couple more tables than already exist. The service is fast and friendly. One employee was quick to take my order and another dropped off a variety of hot sauces at the table without even being asked. You probably won't wait long for food to arrive. If you do, you can pass the time by watching one of their two TVs (only one was working on my visit) or by taking a selfie at a dedicated Selfie Wall. I ordered three tacos; one each of Birria, Asada and Carnitas. (Consommé not included.). All were served hot, though the meats were a little dry. The tortillas were light and fresh. Cucumber, lemon and carrot garnishes were a nice touch. They also offer an extensive selection of drinks. Overall, Taco Sahuaro is a good value. At $3.25 each taco, I think it's worth the price.

    Tripas taco (extra crispy) & carne asada taco with a side of refried beans
    Jenica E.

    Stopped by this place for lunch with a few of our friends. We were welcomed with a warm smile and great smelling food being prepared. We ordered different varieties of tacos from tripas, chorizo, carne asada, and carnitas. All were very flavorful and the tortillas were made fresh. They also had a great flavors of agua Frescas. The mint & cucumber was my go to but also liked the cantaloupe. We actually came back the next day and ordered Togo so we can enjoy it by the pool at our airbnb

    Surprisingly spacious "hole-in-the-wall" Mexican offering good eats at humble prices! Tried five different types of tacos - pastor, pescado, carnitas, carne asada, and birria - and while portions are on the smaller side, would happily reorder any and all again. Appreciated the down-home flavors and efficient counter-to-table service, but this place would be even better with the addition of a self-serve salsa bar... (hint hint ;)

    Green Avocado salsa?

    Not that I've seen but definitely green tomatillo salsa is served on the side of your tacos. They also have a deep, dark, red pepper oil. You may need to ask for it but it's very hot and spicy. You won't be without choices.

Even better, you could see the tortillas being freshly made. I don't know about you, but to me, the fresher the tortilla, the better the food tastes. My bartender was attentive and although the margaritas were frozen, they still snuck up on me. Taco Chelo is a very casual spot. A lot of people were enjoying watching sports at the bar.

I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.
