Don Taco

Worst Mexican restaurant ever, roaches crawling in the bathroom, employees poorly treated by management/​owners and constantly closing between business hours. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

Had the pollo asada fries. OMG they were beyond delicious. They make the food when you order it so it’s very fresh, and the food is so flavorful. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re craving delicious, authentic Mexican food whether you’re in the area or not! I’ll be back for more, since I saw a lot of other yumminess on the menu!

First and last time here! I ordered some Pollo Asada Fries I was not happy with the food it was horrible, poorly made and over priced. The only reason why I am giving this restaurant 2 stars is because the manger provided great customer service.

Not the place to go. They go cheap on the meat tacos, I would guess less than an oz of chicken on the two tacos. Beans were gross and rice was pail without flavor. I do not get this place.

Been a hot minute craving for some tacos. Was driving around trying to get myself familiarized with the area and found this spot. Let me tell you, so far best tacos I had since I moved out to Arizona. The place was empty but it was inviting. Music playing in the background and a telenovela on the tv. I order the usual asada tacos with rice and beans and a side of horchata. Meat fresh off the grill and the perfect temperature on the rice and beans. Friendly workers and food was brought to my table. Mind you I was the only one in the restaurant. The only reason why I’m giving 4 stars is they automatically think I speak Spanish other than that top spot for some Hispanic food.

Just Not For Me
The staff at Don Taco/​Taqueria Tacubaya are warm, friendly, and extremely accommodating, which is why I feel terrible for calling out their Mexican food as bland. I really wanted to like Don Taco/​Taqueria Tacubaya so badly, especially after reading so many positive reviews. However, the food in my opinion just isn’t good.
This was my first visit to Don Taco/​Taqueria Tacubaya
Mexican Food Restaurant, and for me the food is just so-​so. Just one step above what you would be served in a fast food establishment.
The salsa at Don Taco/​Taqueria Tacubaya is like a watery tomato purée posing as salsa. For my entrée I choose the Carne Asada Tacos, Refried Beans, and Mexican Rice, both of which had very little taste and the Carne Asada meat was chopped up into very tiny pieces and was tough to chew. The meal was just very disappointing.
Don Taco/​Taqueria Tacubaya isn’t the worst but I’m not in a rush to visit again

I do not recommend this place. I order a medium lemonade and my total was 3 dollars. And the Manger who took my order didn’t give me a receipt. Later on that day, I checked my bank account and I noticed she charged me 90 dollars for a lemonade. I went back and spoke with the same Manger. She called me a liar and she refused to give me my money back. I even showed her my account balance and she refused to speak with me.

Don’t confuse this place with the name Don Taco on the front. The new name of the place is Taqueria Tacubaya. This place is amazing from the Tacos to the Tostilokos, Mangoneadas, Pepihuates and the owners are very friendly small business owners that would appreciate your business and always making sure you are satisfied before you leave, Delicious Mexico City food. Only eat here if you love authentic food

Today when I got my order the meat was missing. The workers also did not notify me or ask to fix the problem until I confronted them and asked why my bag of chips was mostly empty. Apparently they were hoping I wouldn’t notice.

2 tacos not happy with it because there are very small tacos. And it cost 2 dollars each. The kids like the tacos but it is not worth the money. Before I even pay for it I asked the cashier are they regular size tacos she told me yes then when I questioned her when I got them she says those are our normal tacos

Wow amazing fresh food great asada! It’s like eating at home! Had their breakfast burrito the best! Their lunch asada burritos the best!

Tacos de Pastor were bomb! Staff is friendly and very on top of things. We waiting around five minutes for our food and had everything in our table warm and ready to eat. I recommend trying their Fresas con Crema cup is great to help with your sweet tooth at the end of the meal. Glad we came here instead of regular franchise «chipotle».

Classic tacos with the small tortillas! Kinda disappointed that the Al Pastor taco meat did not come off of a «trompo».

Was so excited when I found this place on my lunch break. I tried to order a burrito. Lady tells me: they have no flour tortillas, beans or rice. So… I order a taco=that was good. I ordered a tostada of ceviche, it was good; although bland. I had ordered a drink. I ate my whole meal and never got it. I had to stand around and ask if I could have my drink as I was leaving. This place was disappointing. It seems like it has good «bones» to be great. But the customer service is just lacking. The tables were left dirty. The floor under boothes had rice. The area that should be salsa and chips bar had napkins in it. And the music was 1990’s loud music=bizarre. Hope it gets better for their sake.

Ok, as a person of Mexican decent and with a strong Mexican cultural background, there hasn’t been a place I’ve came by that has some authentic tacos al pastor del trompo. I’m not talking about like the kind other businesses claim they make and its grilled with a huge slice of pineapple. I’m talking real street tacos al pastor del trompo, on a meat spinner and they cut the meat as it falls on your corn tortilla. A native of California, a frequent visitor to Mexico, and now living in a city that’s predominantly Mexican decent AND a border state but can’t get any good damn tacos al pastor del trompo?! That’s kind of disappointing. But not anymore my fellow Unilocalers! This place is amazing. I’m assuming it’s gone under new ownership. Peep the picture I’ve posted. Tacos come with all that, including free guacamole. Salsa is just right and washing it down with an authentic bottle of soda, this just takes me back to the street tacos my family and I enjoy when visiting Mexico. They also serve food outside on a stand. Great for pre or post movie date. Definitely coming by again since the food is delicious, staff is friendly, and the owners are super nice people. Finally, something on the West side.

Tried their al pastor tacos earlier this evening. My fiancé and I have tried al pastor all over phoenix and this restaurant has by far the best. What caught our attention is that the al pastor is cooked outside and directly from the spit grill which is how it should be cooked! The flavor is great. We waited quite a bit which is why I rated 4 stars. The corn in a cup I ordered took even longer. They need more staff.

With the hundreds of Mexican food options in the Valley of the sun, choose any except this one. A breakfast burrito cost me $ 6.49…nearly twice the cost of any other place. A friend ordered a sausage breakfast burrito… he ended up with hot dogs as sausage. Take it from someone who has had years of burrito experience, dont bother coming here.

Stopped for a quick lunch yesterday and both husband and I thought it wasn’t all that great.
We both got a burrito with guacamole and pico de gallo. I’ve had better meat before. It didn’t even taste like asada and it was definitely way too salty. I was thirsty for hours.
There’s a salsa bar (we tried a red salsa and a green one. Green one was OK. The red one tasted too much like tomato sauce. Nothing special) but you get no chips with your burrito, you have to pay extra for them.
It was our first time there and most likely we won’t go back. There are better Mexican restaurants in town.

Seems like it’s under new ownership.
They’ve added Mexican snacks and munchies which is a good idea.
Their mangoneadas are good, but don’t be disappointed when it doesn’t look like the picture. Yes, I know not to expect the picture but when you get less than half the slices of mangos in the picture, I cry a little bit inside. I still get them though, they’re tasty!
Their verduras are enormous and better than the picture.
As for the food, it seems like they improved the taste for a lot of the items, but have considerably gotten smaller in serving size.
Their burritos used to be able to fill you up, but now they’re less than filling, at least in my and coworkers’ opinions.
