Don't let the neighborhood deter you from coming to this diamond in the rough. Tacos are fresh and tasty. I live in Scottsdale and struggle to find a legit taqueria that's not on the west side. Well look no further because Tacos Sahuaro will save you the trip. Did I mention I work a mile from here? This maybe my go to lunch spot from now on. It's that good. I think I might have cried tears of joy as I scarfed these bad boys down.
You walk in and there's a menu board with their offerings. Not a huge selection, but that doesn't matter when all you want is a taco. Screw Taco Tuesday. Fridays are where it is. ANYWAYS. I can't remember what else is on the menu because I was mesmerized by the selection of meats. I got my usual...
I ordered 4 tacos because I love to eat. Was it necessary? Absolutely. I got carne asada, pollo asado, carnitas and cabeza (i.e. Brain). I also ordered a Jamaica cuz it's my fave. They had horchata and another fruit agua fresca.
Once you order you take a seat where ever. They will bring you a red and green salsa, a pasty looking red salsa in a baby molcajete (danger zone heat in that sucker), and then sliced cucumbers, radishes and lemon wedges in a bigger molcajete.
Then the moment I was waiting for arrived...taco time! The corn tortillas look homemade. Not sure if they are but they were delish. I topped my first taco with the green salsa and a squeeze of lemon and proceeded to take a bite. Love at first taste. It got progressively better after the first one.
So if you're on the fence about this place, don't be. It's legit.
