    I was introduced to La Frontera on Lincoln and 35th Ave when I was just a little kid, and I've been…read moregoing ever since. As I got older, I eventually started coming to this location, and honestly, I feel like the tacos here are even better. The meat has an amazing flavor, the quality of the tacos is always on point, the service is great, and I really enjoy the overall vibe of the area. My usual order is 6 tacos de asada and 3 de tripa, along with a Coca-Cola en botella or an horchata. The food is consistently delicious, the service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is especially enjoyable on weekend nights. It's one of those places where people come after a night of partying or just because they're looking for somewhere open late to get some seriously good tacos. This place also has a special meaning to me personally. I brought my wife here on our first date, and I hope that one day I can bring my son here when he's old enough to enjoy the food. I've shared so many memories here with friends and family over the years, and I plan to keep coming back for as long as this place is open and I'm around. For me, this isn't just another taco spot--it's a place with a real connection to my life and a lot of great memories attached to it. I truly hope it continues to be around for many more years.

    La Frontera is one of those downtown Phoenix food trucks permanently parked in a setting that looks…read morelike a semi truck stop and that hits the spot exactly when Mexican comfort food is what you're craving, day or night. It's casual, satisfying, and always a little bit of a scene in the best way. There are tables if you want to sit, and depending on the hour, you might find yourself surrounded by suited business people, construction workers, late-night wanderers, or a mix of all three. In any case, it's always a trip. The ladies running the truck are all smiles and especially patient when this gringo places his order completely in Spanish. That alone makes the experience feel warm and fun before the food even arrives. This is exactly the kind of place downtown should have: no fuss, plenty of character, and food that satisfies the craving.

    Random AF Taqueria - Birria Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    Random AF Taqueria was a little tricky to find at first since it's located inside a market, but…read moreonce inside, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided great service. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. The value is hard to beat, six tacos for $20 is a solid deal. Here's how the tacos stacked up: Al Pastor (5/5): Easily the standout. The sweet pineapple paired perfectly with the savory pork, creating a great balance of flavors. I would have loved just a little more char on the meat, but it was still my favorite taco of the bunch. Birria (4/5): Full of flavor and definitely worth ordering. A strong second place. Asada (3/5): Good, but a bit more seasoning would have elevated it. Pollo (3/5): Tender and cooked well, but I would have liked a little more seasoning to make the flavor stand out. The rice and beans (3/5): were about what I'd expect, perfectly fine, but nothing that really stood out. I really enjoyed the corn tortillas. They had a slight crisp on the outside while staying soft inside, giving them a great texture. The guacamole sauce on top of the tacos added so much flavor that I hardly felt the need for salsa. The Al Pastor and Birria really carried the meal and made this a worthwhile stop. I probably wouldn't make a special trip across town just for it, but if I'm in the area and looking for a good taco deal, I'd definitely come back.

    I found this place on Instagram and knew I had to give it a try. I decided to order the Random AF…read moreBox, and it definitely didn't disappoint. It came loaded with queso birria tacos, vampire tacos, a birria grilled cheese, birria egg rolls, and a huge pile of loaded fries. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I will absolutely be back. This place really knows how to bring the flavor when it comes to birria. Everything was packed with flavor and worth the trip. One thing to note: the location is a little surprising at first since it's inside a liquor store, which can be somewhat off-putting. Don't let that fool you, though--the food more than makes up for it. Highly recommended if you're a birria fan!

    We went here as it was at the Bao and Dumpling festival…read more Service was very friendly. The bao was super good. Lots of flavor, lots of crunch, chicken was good nicely. The sauces were great but a little too much sauce imo. It made me messy, so if you get this, unless you're eating with a fork and knife, get a stack of napkins. Def would eat it again. The boil shrimp dumplings were mid. Too much chili (and I love chili) and cilantro. Also too much cumin. I like to taste the shrimp when I eat shrimp dumplings and prefer when there's chunks of shrimp. Couldn't taste much except the chili, cilantro and cumin. So if you're obsessed with those flavors, this is for you. The dumpling wrapper was nice though cooked nicely, good consistency/texture.

    I was excited to happen across Salaryman at the Uptown Farmer's market! I've been meaning to check…read moreit out. The special looked AMAZING but I wasn't very hungry so I got an order of the green curry pork dumplings and a lamb burger bao. The person who took my order was friendly and offered to answer any questions, and had everything running smoothly! My food came out pretty quick and they had napkins, forks, and chopsticks for you to grab as needed. The green curry dumplings are a nice sized order and came with some lime to squeeze over the dumplings tossed in a green curry sauce. There was also plenty of cilantro on top! These had a bit of a slow heat to them - nothing over the top but it was there. The lamb bao was beautiful and tasty! The lamb patty was delicious, not gamey at all and cooked perfectly. The bun itself is a perfect bao bun. Its bigger than typical, toasty on the outside and so fluffy. Great first visit and looking forward to eating here again!
