La Frontera

Chicharron
Carne asada
Lengua
All three great street tacos in terms of taste. Good flavor from all three tacos and seasoned very well. The chicharron was good, but the lengua and carne asada definitely beat it. The tacos came out to be 6.50, which for me is a tad pricey for streets tacos. I would come back again, and try out the burritos they had to offer.
Note: Cash only

Always friendly and the food is always made to order! I LOVE the al pastor tacos, they are the best I’ve ever had!!! The salsa and guacamole are the cherries on top! You cannot eat your tacos without those two!
Yes although this food truck is in a sketchy looking parking lot I have never felt uncomfortable. Definitely give this place a try if your wanting to eat some yummy street tacos.
Oh and it’s CASH ONLY. I also always bring my own drink instead of buying from here.

We are always in search of great burritos and because we travel often it can be hard to find. We found this taco truck through Unilocal and are so glad we did. Not only do they have great burritos, but there is also a mariscos truck. We haven’t tried the mariscos, only because they were closing early so we missed out. Definitely our go to place when we find ourselves in Phoenix.

Came here after just landing in Phoenix to grab some late night tacos, it’s pretty cool that the trucks have their own parking lot and there are two different trucks with what seems like two different menus, but after the novelty, the food isn’t all that amazing. The tacos came out to about $ 1.50 each, which is slightly more expensive than what I’m used to, especially for tacos of this quality.
The service however was great, and they were super friendly about explaining their menu and what all the different meats were to anyone who didn’t know, which is not as common as you would think in food trucks. I wouldn’t say the quality here is amazing, but if you’re coming around the area and looking for some dirty street tacos to grab a quick bite and maybe even hang out with friends in the parking lot, come by and give frontera a shot.

Cute little food truck with a cute little eating patio. Best sonoran hot dog EVER!!!

Absolutely fantastic! Got tacos with lengua, cabeza, and all pastor and they were all perfect. So many places have mediocre lengua, but this was flavorful and moist. Same with the cabeza. Frankly, the al pastor was better than perfect; the marinade had a deep southwestern red chili flavor. It was a little too intense for my wife, but I loved it. Go here!

Best tacos ever!!! Tortilla are fresh, not store bought. Drove 23 miles out of the way just for them.

(Cash only.) This place is so amazing. People, stop going through those disgusting drive through taco places after the bar, come here! It’s local and authentic. Yum! I usually get the tacos, $ 2 each or something like that. Cheap. Delicious. I am there at least 1 – 2’s a week (not just post bar.) The menu is all in Spanish and they speak it also so, figure it out, lol.

I’m from la where we have street tacos everywhere! This place give me that dtla feel. Seafood, tacos burritos! You name it. Love this spot!

DELICIOUS!
Found my new taco spot.
Hot and fresh.
*Cash only*

I happened upon this place by accident! So glad I did! Awesome Pastor Tacos! I have been back 2 more times and it continues to be consistently good!

The best tacos you can find in Phoenix! Very sketchy looking on the outside but inside there is magic happening. The only place I know that can make amazing cabeza. Stop by here if you’re looking for amazing, authentic Mexican tacos near Downtown Phoenix.

This place is probably the closest thing to tacos in Mexico taste. ***Cash only*** Tacos are $ 2 regular size tortilla, the guac salsa is delicious and you gotta try vampiros which are a fire toasted tortilla with melted cheese and meat on top, yummoooo

Best tacos ever. Homemade corn tortillas. Yum!

If you want some genuine street tacos like the ones you get in Los Angeles, this is the place to go. I always get a mixed burrito of Lengua and Pastor. Their tacos are great, carnitas, cabeza, lengua, tripas, chicharron and asada.

If you fly into Phoenix and you’re starving, be brave and wait until you get in your car and drive 5 minutes to La Frontera. Great street tacos. Don’t get scared away by it being off the beaten path. Well worth it.

Was craving street tacos & Unilocal steered us here. We tried the carne asada, carnitas & al pastor — carnitas was my favorite. It was very moist and tender. Ordered a carne asada quesadilla to share. Stay away! It was super greasy. The grease had soaked through the paper bag completely by the time we got home. I thought the grease had filtered out into the bag but nope more grease as I picked up a slice — it covered my hands. This was inedible.
Verdict — tasty street tacos but stay away from the quesadilla!

The area is a little sketchy but the food makes up for it.
The cane asada tacos were loaded with very flavorful and delicious meat. It tasted very fresh.
Don’t be afraid of eating at this place!

On my trip to Phoenix, I set out to find something local and unique to the tune of cow head and tongue tacos and a Sonoran hot dog from a taco truck. From what I can tell, La Frontera is one of the only places you can get a Sonoran hot dog during the day. Most of them are parked later in the day, ready for bar goers. The funny thing was is that there were actually two trucks on site, and only one of them served the dogs so I ended up at both.
Chicago has its celery salt and pickles, and New York has its sauerkraut and mustard, but in Phoenix, they’ve got Sonoran dogs. Hot dogs are never my go to food but this combination is BOMB. The Sonoran-​style hot dog, found also in Tucson and in neighboring Sonora, Mexico, is a hot dog wrapped in mesquite-​smoked bacon then cooked on a grill then topped with beans, grilled onions, fresh onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise, cream sauce, mustard and Jalapeño salsa or sauce and served on bread and often with a side fresh-​roasted chili. It originated in Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora.
I also ordered a cow head (brain) and cow tongue taco. I’d had cow tongue as a youngster so I wasn’t too surprised but the meat of both was mushier than I’d like. I’m also not a huge fan of the corn tortillas but the cilantro and cucumbers were refreshing.
I felt a little out of place here. Everyone else was Mexican and non-​English speaking but we managed. Despite the language barrier, I got what I wanted and he even knew I didn’t know where to get the Mexican coke I ordered so he stepped out of the truck to show me the ice chest along the front. I thought that was pretty nice.
Cash only! SUPER cheap.

I arrived in Phoenix at around 9pm for a business trip, checked into my hotel, then realized I was hungry and everything around me was closed.
I pulled up Unilocal and looked for some cheap latenight eats, and found this place.
Getting to it is a bit of a pain if you aren’t local as the roads are split by their light-​rail system, even when they are one way, so being on the wrong side of the tracks, means you can’t turn to get here.
I wasnt sure what to expect when I pulled up, but what I found was pretty awesome. Standing alone in the middle of a parking lot, at midnight, was La Frontera. A jack in the box around the corner seemed to be the only place open other than this, that I could see. But here I was, with literally 20+ other people in the middle of the night, getting some awesome food.
The selection is pretty standard. Tacos, Burritos, Tacos, etc. with your choice of the normal meats (Asada, Pork Verde, Chorizo, etc. The staff primarily speak Spanish, but it wasnt an issue to order, Although they did call my number in Spanish, so I could see that getting confusing if you don’t know Spanish)
The food was FANTASTIC. Best Carne Aasda and Chorizo I have had in a long time. Fresh toritllas, great tasting meat, good fillings, a good size, and cheap. Tonights my last night and I am going to try and make it over again before I leave Arizona, as it was that good.
