Los Taquitos

We stopped there after a short hike nearby. All four of us had different choices and we all agreed it was great.

This place is definitely a must try! I was craving some posole and this place hit the spot. We also try $ 1 tacos during happy hour and a beef tamale, all were delicious! I wish they opened earlier, though. They have a breakfast menu but don’t open until 9.

I’ve been to this restaurant several times. It’s tucked into the corner of an unassuming strip mall but the food was delicious. I’ve had a variety of street tacos: asada, pastor, carnitas, fish, and shrimp (what can I say, I love tacos) with a side of rice and beans. All were enjoyable. The food was ready in a reasonable time and the restaurant wasn’t too busy. Unfortunately the seating is limited and there are no comfy booths. Also, the ambiance is a little bland. But I will definitely return in the future and recommend to anyone.

5 stars is well deserved. They have the best tacos I have ever had. Customer service is amazing and the food is as well. Love the décor too. I love bringing my friends here too. They all have become Los Taquitos fanatics as well.

The tacos were amazing and service was friendly. The street tacos are some of the closest to authentic Mexican tacos that I have found in the valley — and I have spent months in Mexico. I ended up with 6 tasty tacos; sample them all if you can!
Prices and food quality makes this a 5 star place.

We ordered a bunch of food to go from here. Good prices but it took longer than we thought it would for the food to be ready.
The tacos are really great! I asked for them mild and they were not spicy at all (good if you don’t love spicy food). The only one they couldn’t make less spicy was the pastor.
I liked the chicken taco the best. Overall, all of the tacos are very flavorful. The waitstaff are friendly and the space is a decent size, including a few tab;es outside.

I ate at this place on a trip to Phoenix earlier this month. It had great reviews and was within walking distance to my hotel. Wow! It was really good. I had the tortilla chips with fresh salsa to start and the Green Chile smothered Pork Burrito meal. The flavors were delicious and very different from the generic Mexican food we get here in Georgia. Highly recommended!

Just had my first meal at Los Taquitos. Good stuff.
More on that later but first let me rant about how insulted I am to see «safe» Mexican restaurants springing up that cater to squeamish diners. For example, Mucho Macho Taco, Urban Taco, Phx Burrito House and Gadzooks, these restaurants don’t serve Mexican food. They serve canned Mexican themed food for people who are scared to go authentic.
Now that my gripe is out of the way, let me say first that Los Taquitos IS authentic. It was my first visit so I tried all the staples that measure a Mexican restaurants authenticity — beans, rice, red chile sauce, lengua (beef tongue) and menudo. Yes, I ate all of that PLUS a fish taco and all of it was good.
There’s a bar with a decent selection of Mexican beers, and lots of different kinds of margaritas. I saw some liquor bottles but didn’t focus long enough to say whether they have a decent selection of tequila or not.
Finally, the other things I liked about Los Taquitos was the décor, clean bathrooms and, you’d think this would be more common, decent music.
All of that adds to an enjoyable experience, and a return visit by me.

I just started working graveyard shift at my company and a colleague told me Los Taquitos was very close! Let me just say yesterday was my first day eating there… I ordered Pozole and 2 chicken tamales… And I came right back today! Today I ordered the enchiladas and 2 more of those delicious chicken tamales!!! The pozole was amazing!!! The soup comes with your choice of corn or flour tortillas of chips on the side. Oh and I had to order take out, food was hot and prepared great! Everyone was nice and professional. Very clean establishment. I can tell very fresh ingredients! As far as the pic the enchilada literally rolled /​were upside down from my driving so I am not sure how the original presentation was. The enchiladas were half rojo half verde (red/​green) which is really nice for an indecisive individual as myself lol! They were pretty good, I’ve had better, but I overall I would order again. Did I mention the tamales!!! I put verde on them so flavorful… I must confess I think I am in love with them! Great prices and I hear there is $ 1 taco Tuesday!
Update: today is ¹²⁄₁₇ I have a problem and literally addicted to this place lol! 3^rd day in a row!!! Tried lengua taco, best I’ve had in my life and I have tried many at other places. Asada quesadilla is good… A different seasoning on the meet that I have not had before… Maybe it’s chipotle because I usually don’t order that flavor but still tasty. And the Horchata is unbelievably awesome!

I’ve been a fan of their flagship location for years, so maybe I went into this location with unreasonably high expectations. Sure, the location is great and the overall experience was not bad. It’s just that the ambiance was a bit bland compared to the Ahwatukee location. Seating was limited too and there were no cozy booths. The service was fine and there was only a short wait for the food. Unfortunately, we found our breakfast burritos to be a bit too salty and a tad greasey. Still tasty, especially with their great salsas, but I think we will stick with the tacos if it’s convenient to pop in this location again.

Always a great experience here! The $ 2 Taco Tuesdays are rad and I love the prickly pear margarita. The pazole is a great go to! I can’t say enough great things about the staff, the food and the cleanliness of this place. It’s one of our top places to visit.

Came here after Rico’s up the street tried to poison me.
Had the breakfast quesadilla. Friggin AWESOME!
great food, good music, and great service.

It’s a shame that a well designed Mexican restaurant automatically makes me think that the food isn’t going to taste authentic. Los Taquitos definitely proves that theory wrong.
Every time I’m craving really good pozole this is my go to place. I found them on Unilocal and I’m so glad I did. The vibe is great — well lit, plenty of options for seating (even a patio). The service is great too, I think the woman who runs the register and takes your order is the owner. It’s counter service, so don’t expect a server.
The food is so good. I’ve had the red pozole multiple times and loved it. Also had their chorizo burrito and tacos. All yummy. Great little neighborhood spot and one of the best places to go for pozole in Phoenix.

Some of the best tacos in the valley. Asada, pastor, shrimp, and fish tacos are amazing, and the made in house corn tortillas just complete the masterpiece. Nothing more to say than just eat here!

I’ve only had the Street Tacos here, and they are A1! The tortilla shells are fresh and sturdy. The meat melts in your mouth and is well seasoned. I’ve had the carnitas, asada, pollo and tinga –soooooo good. The horchata is tasty as well.
They top the the street tacos off with chopped red onions and cilantro. I’m not crazy about the amount of red onion that goes on here –it’s alot. Especially when compared to the cilantro –very little.
The ambiance is relaxed and the décor is very nice. Service is also great.
Can’t wait to try more of the menu!

Stopped in after getting a recommendation from a friend and wow! The tacos were outstanding!!! I tried the Pollo, Carnitas, Asada and Pastor tacos… and then I went back and ordered another Asada and Pastor! The Asada is the prefect amount of flavor with spice! The Pastor has some added sauce that makes it all come together in your mouth perfectly!
I will be back and probably on Taco Tuesday when these baby’s are only $ 1!

This is the kind of place you visit on Tuesdays because street tacos are ONLY $ 1. Even if it’s not Tuesday, the prices are cheap! I was craving me some tacos on a Tuesday so naturally I stumbled into this place.
I tried their chicken taco, carnitas taco, and al pastor taco. My favorite was easily their al pastor. The meat was seasoned to perfection and the flavors were as an al pastor taco should be. Next favorite was the chicken and last was the carnitas. Normally I’m a huge carnitas fan but they must marinate their carnitas with something that doesn’t really tickle my fancy. I still ate it, don’t get me wrong but it wasn’t my favorite. I ordered my tacos with a side of rice and beans and the total came out to be about $ 5.30 or something like that. Basically, an amazing deal. I didn’t even finish all of my rice and beans because I was so full! Each street taco comes with two little tortillas.
The staff was friendly and the rest of the items on their menu looked great too. They also have a bar where margaritas and beer can be ordered. They have happy hour so I can only imagine they have awesome deals. The inside is much more appealing than the outside so don’t judge a book by it’s cover! I will definitely be heading back there.

Good tacos, reasonable prices, fast friendly service, kids allowed, good margaritas, decent Mexican beer selection, ok patio.
On top of all that, it’s just around the corner from my parents’ house.
Next time I’ll try the award-​winning posole.

As many times as I catch myself coming here, I must be honorable and upgrade to five stars. Plus, I sort of want to go Esther Williams in their menudo. YUM!!! I’ve since had tacos, burritos, menudo and pozole, oh my…
This is a good neighborhood spot, and it’s location is perfect for those dizzy-​days-​takeout-​required kind of suppers. I ordered the beef tacos, and they were respectable and good! This is a clean, no-​frills store front, and the service is efficient, which is perfect for that witching hour right after a frenzied work day when I am craving crispy, savory, tacos like a baby to a pacifier.

Have been here a couple times and did not know it was the same people with the restaurant in Ahwatukee that was on Diners Drive Ins and Dives.
This location is very nice and contemporary compared to the original location.
This could do very well in North Scottsdale with the décor if it was located somewhere else.
The burritos are very good but if you come here you must have the street tacos and the carne asada in particular.
The Carna Asada is awesome in the burrito or tacos and you can’t go wrong, but would recommend trying other items.
I like the fact that you order at the counter and that they call your name. Makes it very informal and casual.
I will definitely come back to this location over and over.
All i can say is great food and very nicely decorated location.
