33 Best Mexican Restaurants in Avondale

“I just randomly saw this place. Having no clue what this Mexican food joint was all about. Luckily my Spanish is just okay enough, that I figured it was a vegan place. And the nice young lady at the register confirmed that for me. She even helped me to navigate what the faux meats were made from. As a meat eater myself. Sure the carne asada and el pastor didn't really taste like the actual meats. But close enough for me to still enjoy. Though, vegan Mexican food still sounds blasphemous. But I promise you it's not.“

“Cafe Zamora is a favorite of the locals in the area! There are always customers in the restaurant. Service is excellent and staff is very friendly! Food is delicious and always hot! Chips and salsa are always served and always fresh. Salsa has just enough heat. No alcohol but sodas are very generous in size. Pictured is a plate with 3 tacos, rice and beans and the other is one taco, a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. This is one of our favorite 'go to' restaurants.“

“I bought 2 Carnes Asada tortas,agua de mango,and a coconut pineapple smoothie. Overall the food was great the only feed back I have is the smoothie was bad it tasted bitter it wasn’t drinkable on the other hand the agua de mango was delicious.“

“Comida mexican 💯% Gourmet muy recomendado hermoso local, con servicio muy atento, amable y profesional 🤤 las enchiladas rojas uffff súper mega deliciosas 👌🏻 muchas gracias primo por tu linda atención Dios te siga bendiciendo grandemente 🙏🏼“

“Yiyo’s is the best Mexican food around! We drive out of our way just to enjoy the food. 5 of 5 stars!“

“Thisbplace has been here a long time. I always liked their food, and they have .50 tacos. I think its for their steamed tacos. I've only been disappointed like once or twice in my whole time eating and coming here. I put a 3star for the atmosphere because it does get pretty warm and sticky during the summer months but other than that there's a pretty good number of seats and it's pretty quiet. They people are very nice 👍“

“Best Mexican in town!!!“

“I love Mexican food. This was some of the best I've had. Absolutely delicious! If I lived near this restaurant it would definitely be my go to.“

“delicious Cheesy Birria bomb“

“Family-owned gem serving authentic Michoacán-style tacos! Clean restaurant with friendly service, though a bit hard to find (corner of strip mall with no building sign).
Had carnitas and barbacoa tacos - generous meat portions, delicious tortillas, and excellent salsa selection. The pickled jalapeños were perfectly salty. These are honestly the best tacos I've had in Phoenix! The ribs looked amazing too - definitely coming back to try other meats. Truly authentic flavors that transport you to Michoacán.
Highly recommend - worth seeking out!“

“Delicious Sonoran hotdogs! We'll be back!“

“everything is so good the tordas the raspados omg everything“

“I got carne asada, carnitas, al pastor and grilled chicken street tacos. The grilled chicken and al pastor were both decent 3/5 * The carne asada was pretty good 4/5* The carnitas were fantastic 5/5* Some of the best, if not the best carnitas I’ve ever had. The carne asada was longer strips and not as diced as I’m used to but I can appreciate that it wasn’t overly fatty and full over those bites you have to spit out. I actually didn’t get a single bite of meat that was inedible throughout my whole meal. The salsas were all pretty good as well. It wasn’t just bland red or green sauce but actually had good flavors. The horchata was decent as well, not the best I’ve had but very adequate. Customer service was fantastic. The lady in the front made me feel welcomed and not like a nuisance even though I asked for multiple things on the side and kept asking her for more and more. Her smile was everything and made my night better. Now that is customer service“

“I enjoyed the pastor taco with piñas, it was tender and had great taste. The birria was my next favorite and the asada was good. I would probably order pastor or birria only next time. They have a salsa bar that has salsa verde, salsa rojo, cilantro & onions, cucumbers. The restaurant is a bit small but it was busy so no problem with seating. The staff were friendly and the order came out quick. I wouldn’t drive out of my way for this spot but I would stop again if I’m in the area.“

“Best Food in Town and always there on weekdays and they fill there tacos and great chili“

“The food is really good especially the tamales but customer service is very poor. They don't greet you well, and one girl looks like she's mad to work there lol. I know it's always busy but customer services has to be on point.“

“Seriously one of the best Mexican spots I’ve ever been to. OMG enchiladas were melt in your mouth. And the burrito was amazing. Everything tasted so fresh and well seasoned. It’s also super cute inside very small but perfect, loving the local/family owned vibe here. I just moved to the area and so happy I found this place - will def be back soon!“

“some of the WORST Mexican food ever. flavorless disgusting makes me want to spit it out and eat tacobell instead. The tables are filthy, wait staff took over 10 minutes to get our drink order. the only positive thing is they have good drinks and salsa the out of the can refried beans were amazing.“

“Fui a comprar una para la carne usada. Y le pedí a el carnicero que me diera carne fresca y no se molesto para nada no como otras a qui en Phoenix“

“Hard to spot but once you find it, it’s well worth it!“

“Los mejores de todo el mundo!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The best we've been to in 4 years of coming to Arizona“

“I just tried this place tonight and I was impressed. Not only was the service great the food was amazing and you really get a lot of food. I got the Birria ramen burrito which was so good and my boyfriend got the Birria grilled cheese and carne asada burrito which he loved also. If you have Instagram you should check their story for locations/times because you definitely want to try them! I will continue to come here. Also they are actually family owned and operated and I love that even more!“

“A very nice El pollo loco restaurant. Great food and great service. However the soda machines were a problem. All the different flavors did not taste as they should have. Their machine needs to be completely fixed.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Pollo Loco in Avondale, Arizona, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I stepped inside, the welcoming atmosphere and the tantalizing aroma of grilled chicken set the stage for a delightful culinary journey.

The menu at El Pollo Loco offers a wide variety of options, but their signature flame-grilled chicken stole the show. The chicken was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, with a delicious smoky flavor that left me craving for more. The restaurant takes pride in their commitment to using fresh ingredients, and it was evident in every bite. The sides were equally impressive, with the rice and beans providing a hearty and flavorful accompaniment to the main dish.

What impressed me most was the impeccable service. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their food. They were happy to answer any questions I had and made sure my dining experience was exceptional. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and inviting environment to enjoy my meal.

The prices at El Pollo Loco are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and content.

Overall, El Pollo Loco in Avondale, Arizona, deserves a solid four-star rating. It offers a flavorful and satisfying dining experience with top-notch service, delectable grilled chicken, and a variety of tasty sides. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for a memorable and mouthwatering meal.“

And they are very nice people! Yum yum yum yum .. I'm heading there now for a drink! Excellent food!!!“

“I love these guys in general. I moved to a different state and literally craved them. I've eaten at a lot of different locations and different variants of the burtos. This location specifically is my all time favorites. Always good, no matter what I get or when I go. the employees are so nice and patient when you ask questions. Definitely recommend!!“
