I’m vegan so of course I loved the vegan ? options. The food was amazing I could eat there everyday and never get tired of the food. The chips and salsa was amazing also. My boyfriend got the Carne Asada and Al Pastor tacos and loved them both. We definitely will make this a place we visit often. Next time I go I’ll take pictures and post. This a must try for everyone.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options by just having them leave off the cheese for a vegan ? diet.Dietary restrictions: They have lots of options and since everything is made fresh the can add or take off ingredients.Parking: It’s located in a shopping center we had no problem parking.

Wow good! We ordered the special: California Burrito with carne asada and 3 taco dinner. Salsa was good. Yum!Art was fun and bathrooms were clean.

I had high hopes because of the reviews. Customer service was excellent.. I got a carne asada burrito & I was immediately thrown off because it was pretty small for the price. I wouldn’t mind if the flavors were there, but it was just extremely disappointing. Won’t be back.

Been wanting to try Tempe City Tacos out ever since I heard about them when I was passing through Djibouti (true story).I was recommended both the al pastor as well as the carnitas tacos, which I accompanied with a quesadilla and a Coke, per Mexican protocol. Everything was on point, including the attention to detail in the chips and variety of salsas. And, as we all know, it is always in the details. Delicious food in a welcoming atmosphere, I recommend Tempe City Tacos to anyone in the greater Tempe area, as it is legit and authentic, living up to its international reputation!

This is my favorite taco spot in Tempe. I swear by it, I talk it up to all my friends and coworkers. I can never get enough. I specifically love how every taco Tuesday they do a specialty taco for 2.50, they posted on her Instagram. Always delicious with a beautiful blend of flavors. They have a wide variety of sauces to choose from which I love. They also have taco plates which I'm always game for some yummy Carne Asada with rice and beans. I know they have other options like burritos which I cannot wait to try. I usually make a phone in order and it's always ready to go with a smiling face the associates are so helpful and friendly. And the best part of it all is they actually have a BYOB where you can bring in your own beer and enjoy it there with your tacos. Which is so cool and I have not seen done anywhere else. Seriously this place will not disappoint.

This place deserves a better place than where it is. It is way too good to be buried in a strip mall in Tempe. In a landscape pocked with exceptionally mediocre Mexican food, tc tacos is a taste of how delicious it can and should be. It's Inexpensive without cheapness; the counter staff are super friendly and helpful; and as ridiculous as it sounds, the love for and commitment to excellent food is so obvious it's almost mind blowing there aren't lines out the door. I almost don't want to leave this review because I don't want others to find out how great this spot is and so make my wait for lunch longer but food like this deserves to be shared. Please don't tell the asu students!

The tacos were not it unfortunately. The atmosphere is cute and the service super friendly. I felt the tacos to be dry and lacking seasoning. I think with a menu rehaul this place would be all 5s. Great service from the younger staff, they were attentive and quick.
I've never been disappointed with this place. The food is always an A++

Salsa is always on point! and the al pastor is to die for. Will always recommend to anyone, even if you are only in town visiting.

The food here is pretty good, I come here frequently mostly because of the convenience. I like their horchata but sometimes it tastes like it’s stale/old. Their carne asada tacos are my favorite.
