The Absolute Must-Order:
Do yourself a favor and get the Wet Enchiladas.

They don't skimp here. The sauce is rich, savory, and has that perfect kick that lingers just long enough. Very authentic mexican and the best Horchata ever.“

Also the bartender/waiter was the friendliest, most efficient, knowledgeable guy! He was amazing!“

“LaCo Taco & Burger Bar just opened a few months ago (around August), and they’re already serving up some seriously delicious food! 🍔🌮

We stopped in after hearing good things, and it totally lived up to the hype. I ordered the Mexicano Burger, and it was packed with flavor (juicy, perfectly cooked) and topped with the best combo of grilled jalapeños, onions, cilantro, and melty cheese. Every bite had a little kick and a ton of flavor. 🔥

The fries were just as good! They were crispy, golden, and seasoned perfectly with herbs that give them a little something extra. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully put together.

The whole vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff was super friendly. You can tell they’re excited to be open and genuinely care about making a great impression. I think this is our new go-to burger joint!

It’s always fun finding a new spot that instantly feels like a favorite, and LaCo Taco & Burger Bar definitely hits that mark. Whether you’re craving tacos or a next-level burger, this place is absolutely worth checking out. 💛🙌“

“Returned not to long ago and again great service! Met new manager Ruben and he was very nice. Food was nice and hot and again delicious 😋

Delicious food, the asada nachos were delicious but the #1 combo 2 asada tacos with fries is my go to! Fries are great!
Great customer service
The Mango magic is delicious definitely will go back.“

“Even though the food is fantastic, and we love the ambience the Service is very lackluster and slow! And tonight we even had the manager come over and quiz our table if we were OK to drive home even though we were all OK…. It was very awkward!!!! we were just having fun, but it made our entire table uncomfortable!“

“Great Chicago style pizza it’s owned by the parents I went school with daughter.“

“I always enjoy all the Cafe Rios that I go to. The food here was awesome. The people were very friendly an quick. I usually get the sweet pulled pork tacos. And the salsa fresca which is fresh and amazing. And a nice large cup of mint limeade. Thank you guys for an awesome experience every time.“

“Excelente servicio muchas gracias por todo a la mánager Sandy por atenderlos siempre de la mejor manera ,a mucha gente hispana que trabajamos por esa área nos va a hacer falta ese rico pollo q disfrutábamos casi todos los días, sinceramente preferiamos comer pollo que comernos una hamburguesa.“

“Our favorite, authentic Mexican food. And the house margarita paired with a cheese crisp (get the green chilies) is the best way to end the week.“

“For those looking for Mexican food in North Scottsdale, GO HERE. The horseshoe bar is fun to sit at for drinks and food. The high tops are great as well. The "dining room" is comfortable with the majority being 4 to 6 seater booth, and a few standard tables. Most of those tables are set up in the warm desert evenings. The staff is kind and attentive. The food is great! The authenticity is as close as you can get as if you crossed the border. But on the other hand, it is creative too.l“

“My neighbors and I went here for the first time today, and had a great dining experience. The food is absolutely delicious. The 4 of us each really enjoyed our meal. I got the Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas and they were awesome. We also got the Ahi Crudo appetizer which was outstanding. Very fresh flavors, and cooked perfectly by the chefs. The service was also very good. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and helpful. It's a well-managed restaurant. The Christmas vibe is also very cool 👍“

“I don’t frequently take the time to write a review but this place is worth the time to do it. FANTASTIC food and staff. From the fresh fruits in the cocktails and apps to some of the best entrees around. It’s on par with the best Mexican in Phoenix. The staff is great and the brunette manager is super friendly and professional. A+ food and A+ staff.“
