Tacos Chiwas

Malisimos!!!

I hate giving the 3 star for atmosphere because it’s a great place it’s just the kind of place that it is. You want fancy atmosphere?This isn’t the place if you love and appreciate tacos and don’t care about fine dining snooty atmosphere run to this place. Food was amazing, the people were great, the seating was a little awkward but everything else made it a moot point.

As someone visiting from Florida—where Mexican tacos are just okay—Tacos Chiwas was a refreshing surprise. These tacos are far superior to what I’m used to back home and came very close to the quality of my all-time favorite, Tacos El Gordo. I went all out and tried every taco on the menu: • Asada • Pollo • Pastor • Lengua • Carnitas • Tripas • Tacos Chiwas • Barbacoa • Calabacitas • Camarón • Chicharrón (today’s special) The meat-based tacos were flavorful and delicious—especially the lengua, pastor, and barbacoa. The chicken and shrimp tacos were a bit on the mild side for my taste, but once I added their house salsas, everything balanced out nicely. To wash it down, I had a Jamaica and a Horchata—both refreshing and a perfect pairing with the meal. Prices are reasonable, too—most tacos are just $3.49, which is awesome for the quality. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. If you’re in Phoenix and craving authentic tacos, Tacos Chiwas is absolutely worth the stop!

This place was recommended by a coworker and it did not disappoint. Coming from Southern California it has been difficult finding authentic Mexican food! We ordered 6 tacos and an elote (carne asada, pollo, pastor, barbacoa, taco chiwas, & calibacitas). My personal favorite was the pastor (surprisingly) it was well seasoned and tender. The pollo was my least favorite because it was a bit dry. The elote was really good too! We also had a a variety of margaritas and a michelada. The hibiscus and passion fruit margarita was a 10/10 (make sure you try one or both)! And I can’t forget about the salsas! The salsa rojo was very spicy but I enjoyed it. I’d give this a 5 stars but I don’t like that you have to get back up and get in line to order additional drinks or food. Other than that this place is definitely worth a visit and staff is very friendly. I’m happy we visited this place and despite my small dislike we will definitely be back!

Like most taco joints, it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s not supposed to. It’s what’s inside that counts, specifically, inside the tacos, which Guy Fieri learned when Tacos Chiwas was featured on one of my favorite TV shows, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. It was also featured on Netflix’s Taco Chronicles. We shared the Pollo, Pastor, and Camaron tacos. They were all excellent and the house-made corn tortillas were well stuffed with each ingredient. Order at the counter and they bring them to your table, pronto. Next time, we’ll sit at the bar, which is more of a diner throwback. Besides tacos, the menu offers burritos (breakfast and regular) and quesadillas, all of which are served on house-made flour tortillas. The bar offers Margaritas, other cocktails, and beer. There’s also a spacious, walled, pet-friendly outdoor patio. We’ll be back, either sitting at the bar or with our dogs on the patio. Suggestion: add a nonspicy sauce, like an Avo Crema for people who don’t like much spice, like me. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

I saw this place on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Since it is in Phoenix area where I live I wanted to give it a shot. Nice open spot with a lovely covered parking area if you can grab a space. The ordering is normally counter, but we sat at the bar to circumvent. The service was very attentive and friendly. We tried to order what we like and some of what Guy tried. We ordered tacos barbacoa 4.5/5, asada 3.5/5, pastor 3/5. We tried gorditas rajas 3.5/5 and picadillo 3.5/5. We had elote 4/5. We were still hungry and had a quesadilla asada 4/5 (however way too expensive at $10 for what we received). The margaritas were very tasty.

Craving bomb, authentic Mexican street tacos? You have to hit up Tacos Chiwas—featured on Taco Chronicles Season 3 on Netflix ✨ They’ve got a few spots around the Valley, but I checked out the one on Indian School Rd. As soon as you walk in, you order, grab your number, and find a seat—super chill vibes and bonus: dog-friendly patio I went in on full taco mode: Carne Asada Tacos Lengua Taco Tacos Chiwas (signature pick ) And a super cheesy quesadilla I seriously can’t even pick a fave—everything was insanely good. The meat was so soft and flavorful, and they’ve got a little salsa bar to spice things up just right. ️ Already planning my next visit to try more from the menu : Tacos Chiwas – Indian School Rd, Phoenix : As seen on Netflix’s Taco Chronicles : Full bar + patio vibes
