Tacos Kissi is a bustling counter-service restaurant located in a west side strip mall that always seems to be jammed with cars. The parking hassles, though, are usually worth the trouble at Taco Kissi. The restaurant, as you can probably infer from its name, is a great destination for tacos, including a carne asada, al […]

Taqueria El Chino may look like just another bare-bones counter service taqueria, but the restaurant’s exceptional take on classic Sonoran street food has made it a popular lunchtime destination for hungry workers around the Capitol Mall near downtown Phoenix.

The menu, thankfully, has retained its great selection of tacos, which includes smoky, juicy carne asada, spicy chicken, and excellent al pastor, which is shaved fresh off the spinning trompo. The […]
Taqueria La Hacienda is a lesser known pop up for drive by dinners in South Phoenix. The taco truck, which parks itself slightly out of sight beside a shopping center at Second Street and Buckeye, offers up the usual street taco staples including our two favorites, asada and pastor. Served up on corn tortillas with […]
We can’t think of a single eatery in town that has a line this long in the middle of the night, let alone, one that’s based out of a truck. Although truck might be an understatement as Taqueria Los Yaquis is practically a full-blown assembly line with team members slicing, dicing, and grilling late night […]

This easygoing, neighborhood eatery tucked into a Mesa strip mall features familiar Mexican street foods and meals served up counter style and all for under 10 bucks.

A good torta is not hard to find in Arizona, but a good torta spot, one batting 1,000? If there’s one, it’s TEG Torta Shop — formerly Tortas El Guero. The family-owned 16th Street torta hall has been around since 2002, and offers nearly 20 tortas in mini, regular, and super sizes. We recommend the […]
Grand Avenue has gotten a lot of press for Mexican food lately, thanks to Sonoran sweetheart Bacanora. But just up the street sits Testal. This small counter-service spot offers intense flavors and soul-satisfying dishes from Chihuahua – as well as some of the most unusual burritos in town. The first thing to know is that […]
