14 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Phoenix

“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..“

“really should turn down the air conditioner when it's50 degrees outside. and find more than 2 servers for the whole resurant. food still tasty as always.. think we'll find a different location tho this one sucks“

“Pretty good food and the place was nice and clean. I think our waiter was preoccupied with something as we had to remind him of a drink refill as well as salt and pepper and napkins. When did they stip putting salt and pepper on all tables?!“

“They got tasteful delicious food spicy salsas the place is clean and the staff es muy friendly.“

“The food is yum and the waitstaff has always been the best. We had our first date at chili’s when I turned 16 back in 83 and we love it still.“

“I rated it a 4 only bcuz COVID has left me w/a partial loss of my taste buds. I went there primarily for the burger 🍔 they advertised. I'm sure it was better than I rated it but I had to go w/a 4 & that was being generous. Like I said,my taste buds hav screwed up a lot of my meals.“

“I stopped in and had the taco salad, and it was amazing!! I will definitely be back before I leave Phoenix!“

“Their food was great and our waiter was great very attentive .“

“la atención muy buena todo excelente recomiendo q lo viciten“

“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.“

“To have a slice of Austin not far from home is awesome! Plus AZ doesn't really do breakfast tacos or queso, so Torchy's gives me a few things I miss about Austin.

Give the secret menu a shot and order your Trailer Park taco, trashy style.

Another pro tip, order a couple breakfast tacos to-go for the next morning, you won't regret it.

Dietary restrictions: They have GF options but not sure if they're Celiac friendly from cross contamination, etc.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp available, parking available“

“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! ☺️“

“My son and I went yesterday, everything we had was very good; so good we went back today. Unfortunately, we both wanted carne asada burritos, but they told my son they we're not making them today! Maybe they we're out of tortillas. We will definitely be back tho!“

“Best burgers/sliders ever! He has ruined me for any other burger!!“
