35 Best Mexican Restaurants near Phoenix

“First experience had beef burrito it was phenomenal. The steak was so tender wrapped with cheese, lettuce, tomato sauces spices with a side of hot green chili sauce. This burrito had to weigh a pound and a half. For 12 $ it’s the best lunch deal out there“

“I dined there for the first time tonight, and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is quaint, cozy, and perfectly decorated. The first two drinks that I got were absolutely amazing, as they were custom-made. We also tried a flight of tequila, which was also very delicious. We both got an entrée each, and got nachos and queso. It was all absolutely delicious. The waitress kept coming back to check on us and was very attentive. Thank you for a lovely evening. We’ll be back!“

“Great food! Great prices! Terrific management !!“

“Cindy was very nice and helpful. I brought my friend who is a die hard chipotle fan and convinced him to be team qdoba. Everything is always fresh and the dining area is always clean. Staff is always on top of everything and I didn’t have to worry about food safety or cleanliness. Will be coming back soon !!“

“I've been meaning to try this truck for weeks & finally made it there on 9/17. El Taco Loco was worth the wait! I had the Asada, Chorizo & Pork Carnitas tacos. All 3 were yummy but the spicy Chorizo was my fave. At $5.00 each, the 3 corn tacos were a bit small but made for a tasty late-day snack. My only complaint was that there was no red salsa, guacamole & sour creama to top them with. The owner chef did garnish each taco with avocado slices, but plain avocado has no taste -- I need guacamole! There was also a tiny (1 teasp. worth!) container of green sauce that tasted of avocados & tomatillos, but it wasn't anough to apply to 3 tacos! yours truly likes her traditional OG taco toppings. But overall, what I had was Delicioso! I will definitely be back to El Taco Loco very soon to check out the rest of the menu.“

“Malfi, Alex and the crew are amazing! I've known them since the mid 2000s when we all worked there at one point in time. Coming back today while i was close by sound some movie detailing work, it is great to see such a clean, well ran business and still holds down the fort! Malfi took my order, the service was very prompt and food was ready a minute after my arrival. Boy oh boy, I haven't had a burrito ultimo in a LONG time! Especially enchilado style! Super consistent. Warm bold sauce and cheese on top with a full and very fresh meal full of rice, veggies, baja salsa and all. Cravings fulfilled! Excellent service! Chipotle and Qdoba couldn't touch Baja Fresh with a 10 foot pole lol. Thank you! Signed- A forever customer 😇😎👌🏽✅🏆“

“First time here. I had the Birria Dilla (pictures) which was excellent. It's large, very cheesy, generous meat portions and excellent flavour profile. Not for someone trying to avoid oily food 😆. My husband had the steak and shrimp burrito and enjoyed it and our toddler really enjoyed the crispy chicken quesadilla (without sauce). Fair prices. Made fresh. There was no line when we went. We look forward to coming again!“

“Love Taco Bravo. They have some of the best authentic Mexican food in town! We often order carryout since we live close by. My only suggestion is that they have someone organize their menu for an on-line presence. It is a little hard to view all items with just viewing an image of their menu.“

“Unforgettable flavor! Thank you for an absolutely delicious and delightful meal! we can't wait to return!“

“The food is delicious 😋I had the steak burrito 🌯 .“

“Love Banditos. My very picky 3 year old loves the cheese quesadilla. Everyone is always super friendly. I get the tacos and my 2 favs are Rus & Gus and bang bang shrimp.“

“Excellent food, excellent service 8-10“

“I ordered tonight and loved the takeout experience. Got two make your own burritos and the queso. The person who made order was attentive to the noted about our allergies and our request for non beef queso, even though its not a menu option. Love this place after one visit, I'm putting it in rotation.

Also their queso is wayy better than Chipotle or Moes.“

“Comfortable atmosphere. Great Food & The Best Long Island Ice Teas in town!“

“The food is delicious. 🤤 Perfect seasoning, perfect crunch! Ya’ll will be seeing me again! And AFFORDABLE! • delicious • affordable • convenient location • clean 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 10/10“

“Absolutely outstanding Birria, quesadillas, and customer service during a busy holiday. We’ll be back!“

“Randomly driving through Timonium on our way back to PA we were looking for food. Fuentes showed with good reviews and we stopped. Now once a month (sometimes more) we drive an hour back to Timonium for amazing food. We’ve even brought family down here. The italian food is plentiful and tasty but the fish and shrimp tacos are our favorite. A lovely couple owns the place and they cook all the food and they’ve always been kind to us. We hope to come here for many more years.“

“Had a great server... Helped us make a great choice. friendly and efficient. Thank you Kristen!“

“Most authentic Mexican food truck in the area. Everything is made-to-order, so it will take a few minutes for your food, but it is well worth the wait.

Do yourself a favor and check this place out the next time you are in the area...they blow away every chain store around.“

“Great food, great staff and great prices. The citrus lime shrimp need to have a permanent spot on the menu. All the ingredients are nice and fresh. More authentic food than chipotle. Great ambiance and clean space. They offer student discounts every tuesday after 12pm so I would definitely recommend for students or anyone who’s hungry.“

“Excellent food, great atmosphere and George (or Jorge) was an amazing server for our table of ten! We will definitely be back!“

“250828 - By the time we reached Sparks, the muffins had begun to take effect; we were low on fuel, having come off the highway, aware wet were close to ‘Empty’ in unfamiliar country. Nervously looking for a gas station, ambling along our way back to Canada after a week in the capital. Some said we were brave to visit, we never minded, soaked it all in, we were just there to check on our American cousins, see how y’all were making out in a rather turbulent time. Loved the rolling countryside and gorgeous homes in the area - hmmm…a preserve of the ‘horsie set?’ we thought. Now, even lower on fuel, we caught the sign and stopped at TFS. We surveyed the place, quirky storefront and round the back which felt surprisingly, decidedly chill. Straightaway, we struck up a conversation with a friendly physical therapist, because we’re that kind of chatty. Had a spontaneous, lovely and wide-ranging chat including the whole family. A delicious milkshake, I think a cookie, and couple washroom breaks later, our new friend sent us on our way to the Exxon down the way and a nearby turnoff to get us back en route to the north land. Felt really good to meet a kind helpful soul along the way, the kind of people we wanted to show the kids, and we somehow knew we would certainly meet on our drive into NY, PA, MD, VA, DC. Now back in the land of the silver birch, home of Lord Stanley’s sport and the ‘double-double,’ I am just reading about your late friend Rosa and how much she’d touched you all and your beloved TFS :) Nice lil place. Glad we got to stop by and say hello :) Best regards, hope to see you again“

“Love, Love,Love the Enchiladas Suprema..no beans though, shrimp substitution..😊“

“FANTASTIC! I just tried a couple tacos on a whim from their truck at Taylor Ave and Loch Raven Blvd. and I'm very glad I did. I got the shrimp taco and the taco al pastor. Both were well crafted, the core proteins flavorful, the cheese, sauce and vegetables all extremely fresh, the shells hearty. The shrimp was especially fantastic, the seasoning didn't overpower its wonderful natural flavor, and the mild crumbled white cheese (queso fresco?) was a very nice compliment. The Taco al pastor was equally well made, and even more flavorful, with a unique blend of seasonings. While the seasoning wasn't my personal favorite, (slightly sweeter than I would like, though not extreme, with I think a little bit of cinnamon?) I was still happy to eat it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new flavor. Overall 5⭐ out of 5“

“Great variety of Tacos and house made sauces as well as other Mexican favorites. Tacos were nicely filled with meat and toppings.“

“Very nice and friendly workers. They do not skimp on the bowls, and the ingredients are always fresh and tasty. The rice is never hard or undercooked, and the chicken is well seasoned and hot. I go here once a week for lunch and have never been let down! Attached bowl size for proof:“

“We used to go to the Cockeysville location every other week before they closed, and this one is no different - large portions, great food, and ready quick!“

“Came in for the first time today with my mother. Had the ‘Mariscada’ seafood broth and it was tasty and filling. Would eat there again.“

“I wanted to give a big thank you to the manager today! (Kicking myself for not getting his name.) I made a big mistake on my pickup order and this gentleman made it right and didn't charge me extra! Not only that, he was very courteous. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will be back.“

“everything was very clean PEOPLE were social distancing All employees had on masks and gloves Best food in a long time“

“The food was authentic and delicious!!! I / We will return���“

“Out of all the chipotles in the area, this is the one I frequent the most. If the store doesn’t have a line out the door they will take care of you 1:30ish time during the weekday hasn’t failed me. They typically have dressing avail, Thank God.“

“This store is awesome. I placed an order through the app, but I had selected the wrong location. After I got off work and even though it was almost 7 hours later, I went to this store and explained what happened. The young man, Jonathan, took great care of me and got me my order.“

“One of the best sweet plantains I’ve had (Salvadoran style), and large portions for sides. The atmosphere is my favorite part. Very clean and homely with the walls littered in home plants and other bric-a-brac; like I’ve been invited over for dinner in their home. I would have given 5 stars if the chicken and yuca were a little less dry. With that said, I’ll be coming back!“

“can’t say enough about my experience at the York Road Taco Bell. The quesadilla I ordered was nothing short of divine. each bite was packed with cheesy, savory goodness that melted in my mouth. The soft taco was an absolute masterpiece. the tortilla so soft and fresh it felt like it was made just for me, delivering the perfect balance of flavors in every bite. And those four cinnamon delights? Pure magic. Each one was a little burst of sweet, warm cinnamon goo that literally melted on my tongue, leaving me craving more. The best surprise of all was when my dad secretly ordered me a Pepsi. finding out I had a whole cold, refreshing drink waiting for me was the cherry on top of an already amazing meal. Sure, they mixed up my brother’s order entirely, but honestly, my meal was flawless, and that’s what really matters. This place deserves every one of these five stars. maybe even a 6 or 7. I’m smiling just thinking about it.“
