| - 4.5 stars!
I got off work the other night and was going to get myself some grub. It was either going to be a Sonoran hot dog, or some tacos. Tacos won! I had seen this place pop up on Yelp recently, and it wasn't too far from work. I drove down, parked in the lot, walked up to the podium and placed my order. There are only 2 choices here...carne asada and al pastor. You can get a taco, quesadilla, or mulita. I went with 3 carne asada tacos, 3 al pastor tacos and a Coke to drink. Total was right under $12.00. I took a seat at one of their tables, and about 15 minutes later, my tacos were ready. Here is how they were...........
Carne Asada- These come with carne asada, onions, guacamole and cabbage (It's a Phoenix thing...the cabbage. I got mine without cabbage!). These tacos are a bit small (2 biters) but they were delicious. The carne asada had a great smokey flavor, and was tender as could be. The meat is piled onto a home made corn tortilla. The tortillas were a bit chewier/wet than some of my favorite taco stands, but they were still good! Some of the best carne asada I have found so far in Phoenix. 4 stars!
Al Pastor- Wow! Topped the same as the carne asada tacos. They have the spit of pork roasting in the truck, and they slice it right off of there into the tortilla. First bite in, these tacos tasted IDENTICAL to my favorite spot in San Diego (Tacos El Gordo). This al pastor was legit as fuck! Just like the carne asada tacos, they were a bit skimp on the meat, but they also only cost $1.50. Flavor wise though, damn good and these could hold their own compared to other great al pastor places in San Diego and Tijuana. 5 stars!
Coke- Mexican Coke in a glass bottle. The best!
Overall, I was very impressed! The tacos were damn good and were some of the best tacos I have had so far in Phoenix. Only complaint is that it took awhile to get your food, and the tacos were a tad skimp on the meat. Other than those 2 small gripes, flavor wise and authenticity were pretty much perfect! I now know where to get my late night taco fix at!
