Tacos Calafia

Okay, hear me out. This place is a gem. I stopped in here several times during my time in town and will be putting this on my list for anytime I'm in the area. It's a small hole in the wall place close to the university, but you really can't beat it. The prices are phenomenal (hello you can get the guac cart for less than $5). The tacos are *chefs kiss* good. They run specials all the time and if you're just looking for a place to grab some tacos, hang out, and listen to some bangers this is the place for you. They're open pretty late, the staff is amazing, and was never super crowded when I dropped in. Just do yourself a favor and go- you won't regret it.

The tacos are delicious and legit, the place is clean, although very nondescript, and the margaritas are tasty, especially the version with a chamoy/Tajín rim. Just don't expect "craft".I ordered cabeza tacos as well as chicken, and my wife got a vampiro - we thoroughly enjoyed them all. They have a solid salsa bar.Side note: we went on a Thursday which is "juebebes" and they have drink specials all day, most notably 2x1 margaritas.I wish they put more effort into their layout and decor, but that's secondary as we enjoyed our time there anyway.

Always stop by for the tacos al pastor when I am in town! Such a unique spice blend that I love! Low key taco spot that you can always count on for consistency. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Best tacos you'll find on mill!

Panini Burrito? I'm sorry not impressed at all. Maybe because I came in at 12??? I don't know. Next time I'm in PHX try to find a better place. Service was ok.

I love this great family owned and operated Taco spot. Easy to find parking near the front door most days. They have a nice minimalistic menu board. I ordered a Carne Asada Vampiro (Open faced Crunchy Taco) and two tacos (Taco Al Pastor and Carne Asada) My Wife had 3 Tacos (2 Asada and 1 Pollo)The Salsa Bar is pretty legit and includes guacamole I love the spicy sliced carrots and the salsa i usually put a little bit of all of the salsa choices. They have a large projector playing Sports on the day i was there it was replay of an NFL game. I love that they are open until 10pm every day, but Monday (Closed on Mondays) I met the one of the owners on the day I was there Celeste who I recognized from the Mayor of Tempe's recent post on his social media. Like I always say if it's good enough for the Mayor it's good enough for me.

The carne asada tacos are amazing. Legit street tacos to eat and enjoy along with a margarita. I also got chicken tacos and a quesadilla with chicken. The salsas are also very good and plenty of cilantro and onions to add to your tacos.

This has become one of my regular food spots, best tacos on Mill. Bonus that they have the large-size Mexican cokes. My go to order is always the al pastor tacos with pineapple, meat is tender and flavorful. The bar is always clean and stocked plenty of salsa, limes, cilantro, onions, and fresh guac (only place that I know that has free guac). There's also a large projector broadcasting some kind of sports. I've had pleasant encounters with the owners and they're super nice and down-to-earth people. I've had above-and-beyond service from Dez, who's at the front and always so friendly. Everyone that I've brought here liked their food, so if you're on the look for a quick bite or have a taco craving, I would recommend coming!

Okay I saw that there were $4 dollar shots outside of the business . I came into the business the manager was present. Refused me service because he claimed I was demanding my own prices. First of all, I came into the business to ask what I saw on the board I saw outside... I wanted what he was selling soooo I didn't like that I was refused service for no reason..I never disrespected him at all it for no reason at all. He was very unkind and impatient.

I tried this spot out on lunch one day and decided to go again for lunch the next day. The meat was great and not chewy. The al pastor was very unique with a sugar spice. The salsa bar had all the right fixings INCLUDING GUACAMOLE! Usually guacamole is not put out at taco spots but here they have it. They even have roasted onion and jalapeños, my favorite! The staff were great and helped us out and could tell they were more than happy to serve us. The second time going, it seemed the woman at the front seemed bothered we were there... but the food is great and the cooks made up for it! I'll definitely be coming back, especially on my lunch breaks. Try it out! This is great authentic street tacos.

I came here after a football game. When a friend of mine & I wet out we wanted to stop and grab a bite. We were in the area and I suggested we stop. I explained that my drunken remembrance was that these were the best tacos ever. So we stopped. And they were as good as I remembered!
