Didn't get there
We loved the food! We tried all sorts of tacos but I highly recommend The Boss and Carne Asada. We will be back for the authentic food. It was like we were transported to Rocky Point.

Best tacos I've ever had, and that is saying something! The homemade tortillas are next level, and that is really something to sway me, but EVERYTHING else was amazing, too!! The shrimp tacos were full of flavor and I love the cabbage and chipolte crema combo, all 3 of the salsas I tried were spicy and great flavor, and the carnitas were DIVINE. Juicy with the lightest, most perfect crisp exterior- I'm not doing them justice, but they were outstanding. I was seriously blown away.

If heaven had a corner taqueria, it would look a lot like Chikiliquis Taco Stand in East Mesa. Nestled in a strip mall that hasn’t seen a remodel since the '90s, it’s a reminder that greatness often hides in the most unassuming places. Last night, I discovered what might be the best burrito not just in the Phoenix metropolitan area, but in all of Arizona.
The SD Burrito — oh, where do I begin? It’s a symphony of Angus beef, succulent shrimp, fresh pico de gallo, crispy French fries, melted cheddar cheese, savory Mexican rice, and a whisper of chipotle. This isn’t just a burrito; it’s a manifesto of flavor. The shrimp adds a delightful crunch that plays against the buttery softness of the homemade tortilla. These tortillas, by the way, are works of art — light, tender, and impossibly buttery, almost crepe-like in their perfection.
We also tried the Cali Burrito, a close cousin to the SD, with the shrimp and chipotle swapped out. Equally delicious, though it lacked the electric crunch of the shrimp and the zest of the chipotle. Still, its balance of carne asada, fries, and guac left nothing to be desired.
Chikiliquis isn’t just about the food; it’s a love letter to culinary authenticity, where each bite feels like a warm embrace. This isn’t the sanitized, assembly-line fare you’d find elsewhere. It’s tidy, soulful, and unapologetically good — the kind of food that makes you glad to be alive.
If you haven’t been, go. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

All I can say is, I need them to start franchising out, and put one in Kansas City!!! Best Birria taco I've ever had, and trust me, I'm a foodie. I just might eat here every day until I have to fly back to KC.

Small hole in the wall offering fantastic tacos. Stopped by looking for Taco Tuesday special. $2 for each mini taco, your choice of meat. Was not expecting them to have beans and cotija cheese on them, no what I'm used to. The tortilla was thick and possibly homemade. Was very pleasantly surprised by the great taste, we specially liked the all pastor and cabeza. The chiller relleno and beef taco were pleasant the Chile was not spicy at all but flavorful.
Great horchata.
Good customer service.

Wow!! This is our new favorite place!! The burrito was amazing but the chimichanga was absolutely incredible. The chicken was so tender and juicy and delicious. The salad scrumptious. Absolutely must try this place.
