Taqueria Los Yaquis

So it’s been a while since I’ve done a review, but I felt that this place deserves one. Currently my No.1 taco joint in town. The carne street tacos are inexpensive and absolutely delicious. I recommend the salsa **spicy for some** be warned.
Haven’t really had more on the menu other than the nachos and the carne tacos, but both are worth the drive downtown, late.
Also, the circus that occurs between parking and patrons is also very entertaining. It’s like 4^th meal and a show. They might start charging more if they knew what they had there. Who needs Vegas and show girls?!

BEST TACOS IN TOWN! If you’re looking for some real authentic Mexican food, this is the place to stop. I highly recommend the quesadillas w/​carne asada. A little bit of a sketchy area, but worth it for these amazing tacos and their super reasonable prices. I also recommend a horchata with your food! I will be coming back for sure.

The tacos were good. The Horchata was all right. The line was WAY TOO LONG.
Seems like the line is always long no matter when you go. The tacos are only a dollar each which is a really good price but I don’t know how often I’m going to want to go just because of the wait.

Service isn’t great specially if you get there after midnight during the weekend. Tables at dirty too. But other then that, food is ok and it’s a good option.

Best tacos ever! The long wait sucks but it is worth it for some of the best and cheapest tacos in the valley.

Literally a hole in the wall (if you’re ordering from the bar side). Lovely ladies tend to two completely different clientele flawlessly and as fast as they can. A truck nearby filled with cooks can barely keep up, they’re busy and loud and absolutely delicious. I recommend their carne asada nachos but seriously everything in there is great, not to mention cheap!

Those nachos are the best. I’ve been going here for 3 years and I’ve never ever ever been dissapointed. It’s not fine dining but it hits the spot after a night of dancing and cocktails. I will admit that the wait does suck. It’s often a long line.

Was driving home with the wifey from a night out in Scottsdale. «Let’s get some street tacos!» I said. Quickly launched the Unilocal app and came across this place. Hmmmm, 4 and a half stars, pics look tasty, and jam packed. It must be good, right? WRONG!!!
This place is awful. I mean really really awful. Nothing we ate tasted good. We had a chicken quesadilla, a steak quesadilla, a bean/​cheese burrito, and asada tacos. They all sucked. The asada was bland and dry. No salt at all. Just charred pieces of meat. The chicken was flavorless. The tortillas were stale. The bean and cheese burrito was an absolute disaster. Please see the picture i posted. No, that is not a plate of beans we ordered on the side. That came out of ½ a burrito. Bland, flavorless beans and some cheese wrapped in a greasy, half-​ass-​wrapped tortilla. And who puts minced cabbage on steak tacos? The only taco that should have cabbage on it, is a fish taco. And the cabbage should be shredded, not pulverized. The red sauce was not spicy at all, and lacked any kind of authentic Mexican flavor. No condiments anywhere. No variety of sauces, no radishes, no pickled jalapeños & carrots. They just throw a couple of dried up lime wedges in your plate. I saw a few people with some roasted jalapeños on their plate, but you have to specifically ask for it.
Quite possibly the worst taco joint I’ve ever been to. The people who gave this place 5 stars should really get out more often. This place is garbage. Try PHX Burrito House down the street. Much, MUCH better. But those f***ers close early. Or, for the best tacos and burritos in all of Phoenix, head over to Ta Carbon on 43^rd near Thomas or on 59^th near Camelback.
By the way, I ate there at 10:30. I’m writing this review at 11:30…from my toilet!

Open until 4:00 AM weekends. Great place to go when your hungry late at night, however there is always about a 30 minutes wait.

How on EARTH have I not reviewed this place?! Why? I’ll tell you why. Because I stopped approaching this place with any airs of evaluation long long before I started consistently writing reviews on Unilocal.
This place has the perfect food. It’s delicious, unpretentious and super cheap. You can tell it’s made by people that never went on a quest to make the world’s most delicious tacos — it just happened because of the magic of family recipes. Like, it’s street food, so if that’s not your thing don’t go. But, if what you want is to experience some delicious tacos and a slice of City life that is as endearing as it is confusing, go here and hang out any time between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. If you go here and walk away unhappy, that’s your problem.
Only heads up is that their hours are kind of wonky because they serve the late night crowd.

Real deal tacos and served quick. Freshness factor and guacamole kept it from 5 stars. The cabbage and gauc needed work. I’d return though.

Haha Eat Right billboard above/​behind food truck: eating right also includes frame of thought when eating. Trust me my tastebuds is singing to my brain. «Buy more lol.»
One of the many things I’ve learned: ask the locals where they like to eat; or if looking for particular type of ethnic food, ask that particular ethnicity if you are able to. They usually will have the best recommendations. I should know being half Korean & having a full Korean mom who makes amazing food plus. I have a tendency to be a little pickier when it comes to Korean food.
Now this is true when I was introduced to this little gem!!! Thank you for this tip & sharing your large To Go order with me haha! I will definitely go out of my way to go back if I need a taco/​quesadilla fix. And love the fact it wasn’t greasy & was packed full of deliciousness. Still amazed over the quality, quantity & incredible price. No wonder it’s very popular! Just be prepared to wait sometimes (20−30min in line) but well worth it.

Best $ 1 you can spend! Everything is made fresh and tastes amazing! You can easily order 4 – 6 tacos and devour them yourself! Tacos are $ 1 and mini quesadillas are $ 2. Both are topped with cabbage, hot salsa, and guac. Don’t forget to ask for the grilled onions and jalapeños.

It’s places like this that continue enforce my opinion that Mexican food should be cheap. Their prices are more than reasonable. $ 1 tacos! I had the mega nachos and it had more cheese than chips to dip. When was the last time you had nachos and was left with extra cheese?!? Cheese/​Chip ratio is amazing!

Seriously hands down the best tacos yet!!! The tacos here is so good and very affordable. Only tried the Asada Tacos so I can only speak for it.
The tacos is so good! Guacamole is so creamy and the meat is very well marinated. It’s pretty small so I usually get like 4 – 6 tacos depending on how hungry you are. I heard the burritos is also very good. Came here two times only and I already love it here. Will definitely come again. As for service, it wasn’t anything special they were polite and just take orders. The wait is pretty long. Usually 10 – 15 minutes for your order.

Just wanted to grab something quick and saw this place right down the street.
I got 6 asada tacos. They were pretty good. You can get as much of other toppings you want.
I also got a side order of rice. Rice was pretty good as well.
6 tacos, side of rice and a dr. Pepper $ 12. Not too bad for a good lunch that fills you up.
Would definitely come back when in town.

Definitely not the best tacos around… The meat was pretty dry, the sauce isn’t spicy/​tasty at all, and their horchata had wayyy too much cinnamon in it. I’m just giving it two stars because the tacos were only $ 1 & the wait wasn’t long. But I don’t think I would come back unless I try something else besides the tacos :/
If you’re getting lit inside of the bar it’s connected to though, I would understand why they’d taste good :-) lmao

This was a food truck set up in the lot of the bar (Charlie’s). They were $ 1 and so tasty. The were the best taco’s I have ever had!!!

I’m into carne tacos hot sauce and horchatas
I taste a quesadillas that place’s gonna make me smile
I’m into new sensations new foods in the Phoenix streets
I’ve got a new addiction for every day and night
It’ll make you take our clothes off and go dancing in the club
It’ll make you live that crazy life but it’ll take away your hunger pain
like a bullet to your brain. Come On!
Upside, inside out I’m hitting up a Taqueria
I’ll eat and drink some down, hitting up a Taqueria
It’s lines are crazy long and it’s sauce is color Roja
I will wait you it out hitting up a Taqueria… come on!
Hitting up a Taqueria, come on!
I’m hitting up a Taqueria.
Probably one of the best taco shops I’ve had in a long time especially in Phoenix.
Taqueria is a taco food truck parked right outside of a night club. Overall, it’s pretty darn tacky in my point of view, but damn does it work! Lines here can get really crazy and long plus when it’s summer time; it’s just darn redonkulous!
Needless to say, it was worth it! For only $ 1 a pop these tacos were amazingly good! I ordered 5 Carne tacos which came with beef, onions, cilantro, and salsa. Basic to the point, but that’s how it should be! Sprinkle some lime atop and let your palates sing. I didn’t even use the salsa that came along with it since I thought it was pretty tasty without it. The corn tortillas was soft and warm wrapping the tender beef, while the onions provide a hint of crunch. The cilantro was aromatic while the lime and salsa ended your final bite with a sour and spicy punch!
In the end, Taqueria is not located in the best spot in town, but it’s definitely worth a visit at least once regardless. — Enjoy!

This place serves cheap Mexican food in the late hours of the night… and you sit outdoors if you plan to dine so be prepared for that.
We get there at 8p with a five person line. Waiting in the heat feels like five minutes is twenty. Prices are cheap — four tacos and a horchata drink = $ 6.
We waited for ten minutes until our order was called. The Carne Asada and Chicken tacos had lots of filling, but lacked flavor. The horchata was good.
If you only got a couple of bucks to spare, and you need to have a hearty meal at one in the morning, this place will definitely offer you that!
I don’t wish to come back because it’s too damn hot, but maybe when it gets cooler and I’ll try their other items.
