Tacos Sahuaro

I’m going to share my experience with y’all.
First off, I had been looking for Tacos De Lengua (cow tongue tacos) for the longest time. I finally found this place, and although it took about an hour to drive here, I decided to give it a shot.
When I walked in the woman behind the counter greeted us (my significant other and I) with a smile. I looked at the menu and saw that they indeed sell Tacos De Lengua. My day was made, a plus one for that.
We ordered 8 tacos (4 Tacos De Lengua, 2 Tacos De Cabeza and 2 Buche.) and a drink.
We sat down and the woman behind the counter brought us condiments (chili paste oil, green and red salsa, and carrots and jalapenos.)
When she finally brought us our food, the tortillas looked fresh made and the meat looked perfect. Let me just say this: IT WAS AMAZING. So worth the drive down there.
The red salsa was mouth watering, it had a nice kick to it.
Overall, the experience was amazing. We will be going back soon.

My coworker told me about this place and, being from Tucson, I’ve been looking for a good hole-​in-​the-​wall casual (and cheap!) Mexican place.
I was blown away.
FOOD: Simple and amazing. The Carne Asada is seasoned and grilled perfect with little gristle. The best surprise of this place is their beans. They have 100% authentic Mexican style refried pinto beans. The kind that takes hours to make and are epic inside a burrito with all other fresh ingredients combined.
SERVER: They’re kind and bring out your drinks, food, and condiments — even though this kind of place isn’t expected to. A casual spot like this I would imagine them calling your order and you coming to get it but they serve you, which is unusual but awesome.
AMBIANCE: It’s a hole in the wall, but again, I’m from Tucson (so I’m kinda used to this vibe) and I felt right at home with their old DLP big screen TV in the corner playing Mexican soap operas as you eat.
Is it the best scenery inside? No. However, the food will teleport your consciousness to whatever version of heaven you prefer, so it really doesn’t matter once you take your first bite. Support this place now!

Eating out while trying to count carbs and calories is not easy. I came here today to roll the dice, and it was a win for sure. I asked for a combination plate with just chicken and veggies. They made me a great meal, and we’re super kind.
I’ll be back again.

The best tacos I have ever ever eaten! Definitely worth a trip. I would have paid triple. Sooooo good.

Stopped in to try something new for lunch. I found that I was quite satisfied to say the least. Best tacos I’ve had in a while (carne asada). I’m sure my coworkers and I are going to be in here a lot now!

Amazing tacos, homemade juices, if in the area, can’t beat the price $ 10 for 2 Carne asado tacos, rice & beans & jamaica + relish veggies…

Great old school presentation. Had the lengua, cabeza, and chicharrones tacos. The salsa bar is also great. Spoonfulls of pico de galleo and the smooth silky guac on the tacos made for a great experience. If your in the area and wondering if you should try it I’d definitely say stop in.

Excellent tacos and great menudo. The pork is phenomenal.
If you want some tacos, come here.

Ugg! I hate to do this but I have to. Sitting there, enjoying my second trip here and second plate of tacos I saw the unthinkable. A live cockroach cruising on the floor. I thought to myself, ok, it’s possible, it may just be a fluke. I decided to finish my taco with a grossed out feeling. As my girlfriend was wrapping up her meal, she says «look babe; there’s a cockroach.» This roach was a different roach in obviously in a different location.
I hate to leave a sour review on good food but I cannot help it. I can only imagine when this place closes at night and the lights are off, how many more are grazing the pastures. I won’t be back and someone may need to check into this place in regards to rodents and insects. GROSS!

Location is sketchy, but service is always GREAT! And so is the food!
Dining in is a good idea so that your tortillas do not get soggy, but they wrap the food up well for take-​out so it keeps warm! Their salsas are so delicious! I recommend the sopes with cabeza and the tacos with any type of meat! Don’t be afraid! Try their entire selection of meats! njoy!

Love the tacos al pastor here! They are street tacos so not on the big size, but I don’t mind chowing down on a few. Good place for a quick eat. But don’t forget too bring some cash or you’ll end up paying extra for using a credit card (hence the one star reduction).

Very good street tacos and sopes !.
there is something with the hand made sopes and tortillas. they are absolutely addicting. and, absolutely worth a try.

The first time I went to Tacos Sahuaro I was thinking about the tacos I ate the rest of the day and I had to go back the next day. I’ve been going every week since. The corn tortillas are the best I’ve ever had.
They must use black magic to make the tortillas or maybe they fry them in crack. Whatever it is I don’t care there is no better tortilla on the planet. If you come here, and you would be crazy not to, make sure whatever you get has a corn tortilla you won’t be disappointed.
The menu is tiny but they will basically make you whatever you ask for. I always ask for vegetarian tacos (beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese and cilantro). $ 2 per taco it doesn’t get any better than that. Plus they give you cucumbers, limes, pickled carrots, onions and jalapenos with each order.
p. s. ask for the spicy salsa its pretty spicy but has great depth of flavor.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Hands down the BEST street tacos I have had — even better than some I have had in Mexico! So authentic & so much flavor. I order the Chicken and Steak — comes topped with Cilantros and Onions side of limes and cucumbers.
They have all the Mexican sodas, the best Horchata, and the delicious salsas.
Staff is very nice — and very quick! This place is always busy!

If you like street tacos, these are some of the best in town. This is a hole in the wall taco joint with a limited menu with a major emphasize on the street taco. I recommend the asada and al pastor tacos, they are both very flavorful. I ordered 3 tacos at $ 2.00 ea. and was completely filled up. Give them a try if you are in the area (Thomas /​32^nd St.)

Decided to stop in today for lunch after reading the great reviews and I am so glad I did! It was fantastic! I had 2 carne asada and one el pastor and a side of beans all this for $ 8! My food came out several minutes later and was piping hot! At first bite I knew I had found a taco joint that I will be coming back to! The tacos were awesome and the beans were super yummy as well. You got a very big portion of beans (easy to share). I know I will certainly be back soon!!!
Service was great as well!

First thought is where do I park?! I parked out front then realized they had parking out back as well so I pulled around into the alley and parked in the back, came in through the back door. Place was empty, ugly. But very pleasantly surprising. My order was taken by a very nice lady that spoke English and Spanish! I read all the great reviews on the tacos so I had to try some. Got 3 asada tacos and 3 pork tacos. Came out very hot! Ate the pork first, lots of good flavor in there. They give you all kinds of fixins for your tacos! Pork was very good. Then the asada tacos. They were ok, kind of bland so you need to flavor it up with everything. Still everything was very good, you can tell they have good quality meat and products. I will come back.

Legit quality tacos. $ 2/​taco is very reasonable for the size, accompanying garnishes, & high level of service they provide.
Definitely recommend the al pastor & carne asada tacos.
Authentic mexican tacos with light crisp on the tortillas & freshly made salsas.
Also they have a fresh from scratch made Horchata for the many folks that love that drink.

Last dinner in town before heading back to Seattle and we were looking for a place that was quick and nearby. This is the place!
They have tortas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas and so on.
I had their chorizo taco and carne asada quesadilla and they were seasoned well and done perfectly. Especially, the carne asada, it was moist, flavorful, all-​around good with a little kick. My wife had their burrito and taco in head and lengua meat and she liked hers.
I also had a Mexican bottle Coke which is always refreshing and good. My wife’s sangria out of the bottle drink was not good; we thought they made their own sangria.
If only Seattle had good Mexican food. (sighs)

Bienvenidos a Tacos Sahuaro — enjoy authentic Mexican street tacos without leaving Phoenix!
The restaurant is nothing fancy, but it has plenty of seating inside and most importantly serves up delicious tacos for only $ 2 each. The tacos are made with with two freshly cooked tortillas, your choice of meat, chopped onions and cilantro. The tacos are also served with a selection of fresh veggies to cleanse the palate — sliced cucumber, picked carrots, onions, and jalapeños if you want to kick it up a notch. The green chile and red salsa were good, but not the best I’ve ever had.
At the suggestion of other Unilocalers, I tried the Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and the Carnitas Tacos. The three tacos were quite filling because they come double wrapped in two tortillas. The Carne Asada Taco didn’t have a lot of flavor on its own — probably would’ve been good with some fresh guacamole — but the Al Pastor Taco was delicious!
Also, if you order a Coca Cola be prepared for «un medio litro — that’s half a liter! They didn’t have Horchata when we visited, but they have a wide selection of Jarritos drinks (mango, tamarindo, lime).
