50 Best Taco Restaurants in Phoenix

“Always my first stop when I visit downtown PHX. Great service, great drinks, and incredible food.“

“Girl and I got bites ramen and the birria tacos. The tacos were top notch! Borderline addictive. Birria ramen was good, but have had better. Awesome service. Super friendly guy. Hooked it up with free sodas, too. Little on the spendy side for a truck. Will go back for the birria tacos. 🤤“

“Great vibe!! Great food! Great service! Will recommend to family and friends“

“Muy ricos muy mexicanismos“

“Tacos Calafia is highly rated for its authentic Tijuana-style tacos and vibrant atmosphere. Popular menu items include the al pastor and carne asada tacos, often served with fresh grilled onions and roasted jalapeños from their salsa bar. Customers appreciate the friendly service, spacious seating, and fun music, though it can get loud at times. The restaurant is also kid-friendly and offers taco discounts on Tuesdays. Their horchata is frequently praised as a sweet treat to complement the meal.“

“Amazing food and friendly environment. Andrea was very nice to talk to. She gets your food to you quickly. Love this place. I'll be back.“

“The carne asada and al pastor tacos are the best!“

“Justine was AMAZING!! She educated our entire group on the history of the building AND helped us navigate how amazing the menu was. We took all of her recommendations and basically ordered half the menu. Every. Single. Item. Deserves 10 stars. So much protein and every flavor was complex and had depth. Obsessed and can't wait to come back. The chipotle cherry steak taco took us all by surprise. Might move to Arizona just for Taco Guild!“

“Third time in and I can assure you they do not put as much care into the look of the food as what the videos and pictures show. The last time in was last week. The service was incredibly slow. the food was slop on foam plates. I just don't know what is happening to this place. I have had better food at chain restaurants. If you want good Mexican food, this isn't the place to go. It is very unfortunate.“

“Come for the margaritas stay for the great food. I'm using amazing lump charcoal The same one I use at my home it is the best there is. I am a barbecue expert. So I know what l am talking about. The Gorditas the Tacos the vampiros everything. I recommend the shrimp gorditas. The burritos very very good and not filled The garbage from the other restaurants. Done just right. And again the margaritas the margaritas the margaritas. Michelle gives the best service you could ever imagine at any place possible.“

“Best tacos al pastor you can find. You see the trompo as you walk in. The staff are super friendly. Yes this place can get packed, so make sure you order ahead for pick up, or wait patiently. Many other meats available, carne asada being my second favorite.“

“SO FREAKING BOMB! And the service was phenomenal… we got our food in a matter of seconds, get the cucumber refresco with chamoy on the rim I LOVEDDDD IT. Carne asada tacos even more bomb. I’m coming here again tomorrow ? worth all my dinero ?“

“It was OK. Not bad, not amazing but just OK. Service was pretty quick and I would go back but there are local taco places that do amazing tacos, this just isn't one of them. Again it's ok, just not amazing..and there are amazing taco places in Arizona.“

“los mejores de la phoenikera“

“excelente comida y ubicación“

“Fantastic service, food was excellent!! The chef even prepared a fresh bottle of salsa verde with our meal, highly recommended coming here!!“

“Best quesadillas, tacos, and margaritas in town!!“

“I don't think the 2 most recent reviews are truthful. I eat here once a week. This is an amazing taco shop. They way they make your food to order is awesome. Like chipotle but actually good. You order they turn around and make your burrito/tacos and then move down the line of toppings/salsa.Every vege and sauce is soo flavorful.They even have pickled onions!I could have just reported them but that doesn't show how wrong they are. Below are WHY they are inaccurate, or just lies.The most recent, said they used a microwave. Which no, they do not, you order, they turn around and grill.The 2nd one is just inaccurate; the way they described ordering isn't correct with how this restaurant does it. You order what you want any they turn around and make it before moving down the line for toppings. So you don't even sit down before getting your food.“

“Muy ricos muy mexicanismos“

“I’ve been vegan for almost 12 years. Slowly there have been restaurants that are plant based, but I’ve never found good vegan Mexican food, until now. A colleague and I ordered here and we’re absolutely amazed at how delicious and fresh it was!!! She’s carnivore and loved it. I’ve found a new favorite spot for sure!“

“Hands down the absolute best from anywhere not just AZ but from every state i have ever been to coast to coast that GOAT ? WAS ABSOLUTELY THE BESTTTTTTTTT wish i would have ordered several plates to take on the riad will be back everytime im in AZ

Parking: I parked my semi truck bobtail of course“

“Best bartender in town! Fantastic food and a cool vibe. Go see A A Lien Bar Tender at Torchy's and tell him Kirsten Sent you! You won't be disappointed! ☺️“

“muy sabrosos los tacos tome nota la dueña del negocio la muchacha nueva que está cobrando en la ventana cobra alos clientes y ayuda alos cocineros a servir los tacos sin guante y sin lavarse las manos agarra dinero y la comida con la mano pelona hoy domingo agosto 13 año en cuarzo“

“This place is by far the best Mexican restaurant in town. They are always kind and the food is amazing!“

“Never been to Phoenix area before and wanted to find a very local authentic restaurant. We found it....Cocina Madrigal was exactly what we were looking for...We actually sat at the bar since there was a short wait for a table. I was here with a college friend who lived out of the state also. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. We had the combination Taco/Burros/Tamales/Enchiladas...Our gracious bartend/waitress suggested the perfect way they should be prepared. All the employees were very friendly and make you feel incredibly welcomed. Highly recommend and we will return when we are traveling through Phoenix..“

“Los tacos están riquísimos Los nachos igual todo rico sin dejar de mensocionar las salsas en especial la roja ? y muy buen servicio 100% recomendados“

“Clean restaurant, friendly staff, and the food was AMAZING. Everything we ordered was flavorful and filling. We will definitely be back.“

“Their food truck was amazing!“

“Do yourself a favor and pop into Pinches Tacos. Divine authentic Mexican fare, this is where you take your friends from out of town when you want to impress them with real tacos.
Portions were hefty, salsa bar was great (no pickled carrots, but I can't fault them that.) Prices are super affordable, get
In there and get a bite before they realize realize that they could command a considerably higher price. ? The green chile burro was definitely the best green chile I have ever had the pleasure of eating, hands down. Don't miss out on this sleeper if you're in the north Valley.“

“(Translated by Google) Very rich meat, very good service ?, very rich sauces, recommended to visit and taste the delicious tacos(Original)Muy rica la carne, muy buen servicio ?, las salsas muy ricas, recomendado a visitar y degustar de los deliciosos tacos“

“Sonoran hot dogs are the best! Also the menudo on weekends is very good go check it out!“

“Highly recommended! This was my husband's and I first time here and all I can say is AMAZING! Not only was the food very fresh and authentic, but the service was great. We were blessed to meet Irma herself. She is a lovely lady and is so sweet! No doubt, we will definitely be back again and again. Thank you Irma's Kitchen, thank you❤“

“I LOVE THIS SPOT!!! I've been coming to this place since I was about 6 years old and it's always been my go to. All of their food is delicious! My go to are always either the carne asada tacos or burrito! I also love that their burritos have beans and rice, not just the meat and pico like most places. If you visit Phoenix, you definitely have to try this place for some authentic Mexican food. Not to mention their red salsa is absolutely amazing! PLEASE NEVER CHANGE THE RECIPE!“
