La Casa del Guajolote

The tacos were pretty good...the problem is nothing else is acceptable! The place is in a ratty run down strip center. The place is ugly inside and out. But even worse is how filthy it was inside. As for the tacos, you get onions and cilantro and sickly limes with no juice. You can choose from green or red salsa. No pickled red onions, cabbage, other salsas, jalapeños or any of the many other condiments available at other places. While good tasting meats, at almost $4 a taco, there is no way to even consider dining here.

I try to hit the small "hole in the wall places", they're usually closer to homemade, authentic & better portions. Not here, $10 for 3 tacos. The carnitas is smokey & juicy, the asada was ok but little bits of fat. The interior smelled a bit off, but hey I gave it a shot.

Excellent food. Owner introduced himself. Left for a minute; returned with complementary dish they are known for: Tiacoco. Well, they're known for alot of other dishes. But the tacos (birria, barbacoa, etc.) were delicious. Met a friend and her son to enjoy our Saturday breakfast that turned into brunch... a late brunch and almost through lunch. Yes, the place is very cozy. I noticed people are coming to pick orders. Work is keeping me away from this place; yet planning to try more from the menu. Maybe I'll pre-order or via Grab or Uber Eats :)

This place is a hidden gem. The quality of the food here is outstanding. I tried the tlacoyo potato. Stuffed potato inside a sope type, drizzled with salsa verde and cheese. There was no meat on it, but it was beyond delicious and filling. They were nice enough to give me a free chickpea version while I waited. I ordered the red pozole. The pozole was pork and probably the best pozole I've had in AZ. It's rich with flavor and the hominy and meat were tender. They have it every day, so no waiting just for the weekends. I also got 5 tacos. The carnitas, asada, chicken and pastor. I'm not sure what they do to their meat, but it was high quality and really flavorful. It's not your average street taco. Make sure you try the red and green salsas. They make everything in house and you can tell. The brown salsa has a smoky flavor, the red is intense. But the chunky green has to be the best. If I lived close by, this would be my go to taqueria.

Not my first time here. But my first time since Covid hit. Forgot how GREAT the food is, the staff. The owner and his daughter are lovely people. You know when you want something good but simple, uncomplicated? That was me tonight. Pork POSOLE to the rescue!!!! It was easily two cups of meat and hominy in a light and delicious broth. The cilantro I added was so fresh, not stemmy either. 5/6 corn tortillas were a great addition. I drank the broth at the end. My husband had beef street tacos - no photo as he made no haste. Delicious beef and nothing spared on quantity. Cheese quesadilla was simple and great. They use the GOOD CHEESE here. Before I've always had the chicken dorado tacos and can attest they are AMAHZING but best eaten there on site. Since they are from over near MX City you'll see things on their menu you've not ever enjoyed - ASK them and they'll happily explain. Worth a drive from another end of the valley? "Yes!" says this native Zonie who has travelled to MX for fun and work, and spent time on ranches with good beef.

One of the best mexican food we have tried food is tasty and service is very pleasant, definitely coming back here.Pozole and borego is a must

We brought a large group in on a Friday night as part of a taco crawl. The staff was extremely friendly and tacos were delicious. I loved the spicing in the al pastor tacos. For many in the group, this was their favorite of the 4 places we stopped at on our crawl. I expect many will return to try out more of the menu.

By far the best carnitas I've eaten in chlArizona! Since I fell in love with them in an awesome mexican restaurant in old town San Diego while on a family vacation I have been looking for their equal ever since!! I couldn't find a Mexican place that took the time these delicious hunks of carmalized pork are bastardized by most of the Mexican restaurants I have ever eaten at simply served slow cooked pork more suitable for a pulled pork sandwich and skip the most important step of making glorious carnitas. Not here M

Service was good (7/10). Staff was friendly (9/10). Inside wasn't as clean as it could be. It was empty and a lots of the tables available were not clean (4/10). Menudo was good (6/10).

best food ever, loved the service, everyone was super nice. very traditional! I got the pozole and it tasted just like my abuelas. Better than most Mexican restaurants in the area.
