Taqueria Obson — Restaurant in Guadalupe

I’m on a quest to find the best birria in Arizona, and I’ve been wanting to try Obson for a while now. It’s situated on the main drag in quaint Guadalupe, so I was fairly confident it would be good.

I ordered three quesabirria tacos and the birria consome, which at $14 is a little on the steep side compared to other birria joints. The tacos were good-sized with plenty of meat in them, although I’d prefer the corn tortillas to be more fried and crunchy and less floppy/soggy. At times they were so slippery I couldn’t hold onto them. But that’s just my personal preference.

The consome came out boiling hot. Like crazy hot. Like so hot that I blew for five seconds on just a few milliliters in my spoon and my tongue still feels burnt as I write this review the morning after. The flavor was really good, but I had to wait about 20 minutes before I could enjoy it.

On my universal 13 point scale of birria deliciousness, I’d give these tacos a solid 9. They were good tacos, loaded up with onion and cilantro and guac and a dash of lime, but they weren’t the best I’ve had. Definitely satisfying; not mind-blowing. Careful with that red salsa, that stuff is spicy!

I may come back and give a burrito or something a try. We’ll see. But there are a lot of places serving up birria these days and, like I said, I’m on a quest. And to be honest, I don’t think it’s okay to charge $2 for a bottle of water from Costco. Literally never have I ever had to buy water at a restaurant in Arizona. I didn’t appreciate that at all.

If you’re a birria fan, come by and give it a try and let us know what you think. Some reviewers said it was the best they’ve ever had, but it’s all...

We have ordered from here before, and it's always been good. Ordered tacos to go today. Asked for the two tripitas tacos to be crispy. I double checked with the girl taking the order, wasn't sure if she actually made a note. We have asked for this everytime in the past. They have never had a problem doing this before. Got home and unfortunately, the tripitas in my tacos were not golden crispy. 🤦🏽‍♀️ We were not able to go back to let them know, and they weren't answering the phone when we tried calling. 🤷🏽‍♀️ The rest of the food was fine though. Just sucked after a long week, finally able to buy a craving after a long time, and it didn't work out. I would just kindly double check the food before leaving,...

Everything was fantastic! It's an untouhed slice of authentic Mexico. The salsa's were good and not watered-down like you find everywhere else. I'm glad we live close, and we plan to try everything on this menu. The staff was kind and the restaurant was nice and clean.

*We ordered delivery through Uber Eats, and our food came warm, fresh, and delicious. It's nice to watch football on a Sunday and have Birria and Quesabirria delivered.

**Dined in this time. Again I will mention that the restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. We had the Quesabirria with consommé, and Tacos de Cabeza. As usual, the food was very fresh and delicious. We...
