| - After seeing Taco Chelo featured on DTPHX's Instagram, I was intrigued and decided to check it out with some girlfriends for taco Tuesday.
Located in the Roosevelt district, we thought parking would be challenging but it wasn't, we found several open meters near Bliss/Rebar and walked.
The space is very well done, the ambiance is perfect for the area. It has a similar vibe to Joyride Taco, though a little less hipster and a little more urban. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available, but the space is on the smaller side. While we were able to snag a picnic table outside right away, others didn't appear to be so lucky.
The restaurant is counter service so we waited in a pretty long line to order, even at 7:30. I ordered a quesadilla, the taco chelo salad and chip & guac, whereas my friends ordered a quesadilla and carne asada tacos. Everything was delicious and fresh except the salad (pictured). The ingredients were all cut in different sizes which made it hard to eat and the overall flavor was just blah.
The portions are small. The tacos and quesadillas are made on street taco sized tortillas, so if you're hungry know you'll want to order more than one. That being said, the prices I felt were reasonable.
I'm looking forward to going again and trying the tacos and beans!
