    NI SE DONDE EMPENZAR ES LO MEJOR, LOVE THIS PLACE the service is amazing they were all so nice/welcoming and being attentive at all time and offering us other things on menu. The food was so hot, fresh and good! The birria consome was delicious they have so many other things in the menu including sonoran hot dogs this place is far from me but WORTH THE DRIVE. Very much authentic food El servicio es increíble, todos fueron muy amables/acogedores y atentos en todo momento y nos ofrecieron otras cosas en el menú. ¡La comida estaba tan caliente, fresca y buena! El consumo de cerveza estaba delicioso tienen muchas otras cosas en el menú, incluidos los perritos calientes de Sonora este lugar está lejos de mí, pero VALE LA PENA EL VIAJE.

    Enjoyed the food and service. Clean restaurant, and nice decor. First time there, will go again. Oh and their salsa were very good.

    There were two young gentlemen that served me and my family. Both were very kind and attentive. We ordered a few different tacos plus a few quesabirras with the consome. The consome was so delicious that my family was pouring some on their tacos. I was happy that could just drink it too. Some consome's are too sour but this one was perfect. I appreciate that the restaurant was clean and played Spanish music. We'll be back.

    Finally found authentic tacos in the city. We got the asada tacos and the panpachos and it was so good, a lot of people were here for lunch. Parking is limited but there is parking in a lot across the street. The people were very friendly and the food came out fast. I will definitely be back for these tacos

    This is still the best place for tacos in the Guadalupe area, amazing food every time!! I have always only ordered take out, but this is the real deal for authentic Mexican food.

    The asada and tripa I tasted were good and rich in flavor. The cabeza meat was a bit lacking in flavor for my taste. The asada was definitely my favorite. The one thing that was not to my liking was the menudo; I love menudo, and this one just wasn't it for me. Parrilla Los Picos is still the best for menudo hands down. The place is of decent size, and the music is at a good level where you can easily hold a conversation. The service was good. I feel I've always been treated well whenever I've come in, whether dining in or ordering takeout.

    Outstanding food. Immense flavor. Hole-in-the-wall vibes. So good that we had to order more! Highly recommend the taco mexicano or birria anything! If you want a great meal, this is the spot!

    This is the spot! Welcomed at the door you have the option to have order take out or have a seat to order dine in. We ordered a torta, birria tacos, asada tacos, and the birria ramen. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The meat was tender, the tortillas were fresh, and the birria ramen was amazing. They have 3 different homemade fresh salsas to choose from (red,green,guacamole) Even their homemade agua frescas were refreshing and so good! (Horchata, Jamaica, and lemonade) If that's not your thing they also have a fountain drinks. If you order dine in, you go to the front once done eating to pay for the food. Highly recommend this place!

    Liliana A.

    We were I. The area and had this spot saved so we decided to check it out! The lady working the front was kind and spoke English. Our food also came out fast and was great! We got a few different tacos but only managed to get a pic of two of them. We got their most popular Birria taco, second popular Mexicano (the asada that's in the photo), also a pastor, asada, manta and gobenador. We both agreed that we would come back for the birria only. Giving this spot a four only because the meat was pretty heavy so it didn't settle well for us.

    We were riding scooters to chipotle and we drove by this place and we smelled it and we instantly decided to eat here, best choice we ever made!!! Foood was so dang good as well as the service and everything was fresh!!! Definitely recommend 10 out of 10!!! You won't regret it. Tore that food up!!:D

    This seems like a bit of a dive restaurant, but it is clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Some are bilingual, and some only speak Spanish. Many times, we are the only non-Hispanic people there, which I love. You know, the food is good and authentic. We haven't had anything here that we haven't enjoyed. By far, the best street tacos in town. They also have excellent cabeza tortas, as well as a variety of different meats for burritos and other dishes. We have been here many times, and I tried to go whenever I have the opportunity. It's a little off the beating path, but definitely worth a special trip to discover this gem.

    Birria, asada, and pastor tacos.

    Not bad, the food was okay, the staff was outstanding. I did go back for another round on the birria taco.

    HANDS DOWN BEST QUESABIRRIA IN AZ. I've been going here for a couple years now, and obson has consistently been my favorite tacos in Arizona. The asada tacos are also amazing; they have that charcoal taste without being too smoky. Their salsas are all delicious as well. It isn't usually too busy so seating is never a problem for me, the service is fast, and the place is clean. I will keep coming back!

He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my friend who is deaf, making sure we always had water, napkins, and plenty of chips. The margarita flight is always a must for me, so I had to order one for my friend since it was her first visit. I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious. I also ordered the lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and just as good. Ghost Ranch never seems to miss when it comes to drinks. Potato tacos! Another must have My friend ordered the Aztec Cake and insisted I'd regret not getting it. She was absolutely right. It was bomb and Torrance offered us a side of chips .TY. I ordered the short rib. It was flavorful, tender, and filling, with lots of garlic and savory flavor. I'm not sure if short rib is just not my thing, but it didn't wow me the way the Aztec Cake did. I warmed it up later and it was delicious a second time so no complaints. Excellent service, delicious drinks, and a fun way to spend the Fourth. We'll definitely be back!

Been waiting to check this place out for Happy Hour and finally got around to it with friends. Happy Hour is daily with $3 off all appetizers (not just selected as the menu says) in addition to drink specials. We ordered a few apps to share and had: - Chips with Guacamole and Salsa: solid - Queso Fundido: I was excited for this as friends have said they liked it, but the cheese harden within minutes and it wasn't as nice - Street Style Esquites: I was expecting more corn rather than mixed in another cheese dip and likewise, the cheese harden quickly. - Shrimp cocktail: it was pretty heavy on the liquid rather than thicken, but good - 3 potato tacos: okay, wasn't expected it to be fried so it was a bit greasy but loved the slaw it came with - Southwest egg roll: not bad, was a crowd's favorite and I liked the sauce it came with We didn't realize most of the apps came with tortilla chips otherwise we may have ordered differently. I got the frozen margarita and it was a bit sweet, but nice for the summer evening. Our server wasn't super attentive, but was nice whenever they came around. There's a sampler entree platter I'd like to try, but of all the appetizers we tried, the best was probably the chips with guacamole and salsa.

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. 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.

My sangria was good as well. However, the amount you get for around $8.50 is a joke. Its a small glass with just a little bit in the glass. The chips & salsa were good. The spicy salsa is the opposite of the one you would think is spicy out of the two, so pay attention. Hubby got a combo with a tamale & ground beef burrito with rice & beans. He said everything was good. He also ordered a side of guacamole. I thought I got a picture of the guacamole & sour cream. It's crazy how much they charged for them. They were the small plast condiments containers, but they charged almost $5 for the guacamole. I don't remember the extra cost for the sour cream, but it too was way too high for the tiny size. I got a chicken chimichanga with grilled chicken instead of the shredded chicken which came with rice & beans. It was all good. Our server was friendly & did a good job. We loved the decor. It reminded us of being in Mexico. The table & chairs are really cool too. I wanted to love this place, but the cost of the sangria, sour cream & guacamole are just too high for me to justify coming back.
