| - Sketchy tacos in Scottsdale? No, you say? Oh yes there are! Some of the best tacos in Phoenix are right down the street. (There's even a scary bar next door if you're into that kind of thing.) The menu here isn't fancy but offers a wide array of favorites. I tried the #10 combo, that's one street taco and a cheese quesadilla. All the combos are served up with rice, beans, salad (well, lettuce with tomatoes and a big splooge of mayo--- ew! The only thing on my plate that didn't get totally devoured. Y'all know I hate mayonnaise!!!), and that yummy green dip (I don't know what its officially called, but if you're Texican you'll recognize it. Its like blended sour cream and chilies.) The quesadilla was pretty good, and more than enough for most large mammals. But the star on my dinner plate was the carne asada taco-- omg, it was amazing! Next time I'm getting the three taco combo. Their tacos are just right. Not too greasy, not too spicy (although they'll make them that way if you ask). Just the right amount of meat, onions, cilantro, and sauce for maximum flavor. They have fresh cut limes on the salsa bar-- absolutely essential for my taco enjoyment. Be careful of the marinated carrots, they are really marinated and hot, hot, hot. They're flavorful, but you might be regretting that choice later on.
If I have a complaint, it is only that they don't have a coke fountain dispenser, only cans or bottles. That can become rather pricey if you get a hold of something spicy (especially if its unintentionally!)
The prices are reasonable compared with similar restaurants in the area, although a bit pricier than what I'm used to. For whatever reason, Mexican food is more expensive in Arizona than in Texas or Kentucky. This place is better than most if the Mexican food I've had out here, though, so I'm not going to gripe about it too much. If the quality is there, I don't mind paying a little more.
The quality is definitely there, and I will be back for more!
