Wow.
By FAR the best taqueria tacos that I have yet had in Phoenix!
Amazing find - I just ate there tonight and I am still dreaming of the delicate and perfectly cooked homemade tortillas used for the mini Carne Asada Quesdilla that I practically inhaled!.
I almost missed ordering these "mini size" Quesadilla bad boys but saw a plate of these delicate morsels at a nearby table and I added them to the taco order.
OMG were they good. Sorry to gush, but each bite was pure bliss.
Without a doubt - unequivocally - these are some of the best tacos and quesadillas that I have ever eaten.
The place is a kind of hole in the wall with a small parking lot up front. You know you are in for an amazing food experience by three dead giveaways: 1) The massively long and slow line out front on a Sunday night (at least 30 min before being able to order - worth every minute!). 2) The sight and sound of the cooks freshly chopping away at the tender Carne Asada on the block continuously - no pre-made dried out beef here. This is the tender melt in your mouth Asada of your dreams 3) The happy people eating at the tables nearby
Prices here are dirt cheap - Only $1.00 per taco, and about $2.00 for each mini Quesadilla. Our family of 3 filled up our hungry tummies for less than $20 including drinks.
Tacos were superb with a bit of cabbage, some spicy and flavorful homemade red salsa and a dab of salsa style guac. The tortillas are fresh, and extremely tasty.
The only place I've ever had Taqueria tacos as good as this was in Mexico many years ago.
The opening hours of this place are a little strange right?
Open only Thursday through Sunday, mostly nights and late nights. No lunch possibility sadly. This must be related to opening at hours coinciding with the Charlie's bar just behind to feed the happily inebriated with some of the best munchies in the city lol.
Taqueria Los Yaquis is now on my radar as a standout for delicious cheap eats - one of Phoenix's true gems - some of the best tacos that this town has to offer. Yes, the tacos are exceptional but don't miss the "mini" Carne Asada Quesadillas ($2.00 each) as they are the big O.
