The Taco Spot - Tempe — Restaurant in Tempe

I was looking for an authentic taco place for taco Tuesday and this was close to my work. I won’t return. The Carne Asada was not flavorful. The tacos were really tiny, and I don’t see that really depicted in the pictures for the reviews. I didn’t like the smell or the taste of the rice although the beans were fine. Usually when they bring you refried beans, you get a couple of chips; I was expecting whole beans, but that really wasn’t a big deal. The beans are good. I did not enjoy the meat of the taco and they did not put enough onion and cilantro with it at all. The young man at the register does not understand enough English to provide good service, I asked him to prepare my order to dine in, I waited 15 minutes for a taco Tuesday plate, which is beans, rice, and four tacos, small portions. There was no one in front of me. The woman who came in after me received her food before I did. When I came up to the register to ask where my food was, the cashier told me it was ready, but then he was tying off my bag when I had asked for a dine in plate. The atmosphere is clean, I did wipe my table off because it was a bit smudgy, but not bad. The floor was clean and someone was sweeping when I came in. They have 4 TV screens mounted from the ceiling pointing in different directions, but only one TV was on, and there was no sound, but at least it wasn’t loud.

I’ve been eating authentic tacos for years and lived in California, Nevada, and areas of Arizona and this place did not close to cut it. Maybe I’m supposed to eat the Birria. Also, pricey for the portions and service is definitely lacking. I left a tip before I received service, I need to...

Let me start off by saying the tacos here are great. But I just had the worst experience I have probably ever had a restaurant. I ordered about 20 tacos. Saw about 3-4 people that placed my order after me get their food 1st. No big deal I placed a larger order. After about an hour of waiting I asked what was going on. FINALLY about 15 minutes my food comes out and ALL TACOS are WRONG. I come here for the CHEESE CRUSTED tacos I specially looked at jasmine when I placed the order and said CHEESE crust on all the tacos… not corn or tortilla. So after over an hour of waiting and orders coming out before mine MY WHOLE ORDER IS WRONG. I looked at the other girl and she said she’s in training and doesn’t know what she’s doing… then why are we letting her take orders by herself? One hour of my time wasted. Here’s my receipt over $70 order.I told them keep it. After waiting all this time I hoped my order would be right. I asked for a refund and got the heck out of there before anymore of my time was wasted. Hope workers take home those tacos cause if not that’s just a lot of food wasted. This my 4th time here and I am leaving this review because they also messed up my order last time. Hoping the owners see this and realizes they have good food but need to do better. Won’t...

Took my family here for some lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Was greeted with such joy and enthusiasm from both workers in front. Already had an idea of what we all wanted from there social media accounts which did not disappoint.I got the Birria Ramen and tacos combo. My wife got the Street Tacos and my kids got quesadillas. We all got a mango magic to share. We’ll let me tell you not one item that we ordered disappointed us. Even the salsa that they generously provide was smacking with roasted green Chile and creamy salsa(don’t know what the red sauce was but it was very very nice). My wife loves the street tacos and I had a bite or two of hers and it was yummy in my tummy. My daughters munched down their quesadillas with no trace of them to be found(great cheesy goodness). But the star of the show was the birria tacos and ramen. Pricey at first glance but worth it. My wife got in her rebate on the bites I took from her street tacos and devoured half my birria taco with a glow in her eyes….last time I bite her taco with out asking lol. We’ll ramen was satisfying like posole on a cold day and dipping tacos in the ramen broth is not a thing to take for granted. Thanks for a great spot to eat. We will be back most...
