| - When I told people back home I was moving to Phoenix, I always got one of two responses: "It's hot as hell... but it's a dry heat" and "I hope you like Mexican food." Well as luck would have it, I'm a major taco guy, and La Frontera is the real deal. It's in a parking lot behind a Jack in the Box, and the eating space is constituted by a few tables outside under a tarp with pigeons and a stray cat hanging around. In my opinion all of that really authenticates the whole experience.
They have all the meat choices found at any legit taco shop, and they do them well. Someone once told me you can really judge the quality of a good taco place by their tortillas. Well, this place definitely makes their own and fries em up to perfection. I would definitely recommend the asada, lengua, al pastor, and chicharon tacos -- maybe the cabeza if you like some good head ;) Also the chili verde burrito is a delicious, fat ol thang at $6. Throw some cilantro-lime crema sauce on that bad boy and settle in for the ride pal.
They're open late night and are pretty much the perfect way to cap off a Friday or Saturday night downtown. Also, I went another time Sunday afternoon, and there was a lady selling fresh caramel churros out of a plastic Walmart bin. Do yourself a favor and buy like ten of em.
Cash only, and helps if you speak Spanish.
