It was our 41st wedding anniversary, and we were delighted to find this beautiful restaurant to celebrate. We loved everything about it - the food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was mind-blowing. It was touching how true to its roots they stuck when conceptualizing this restaurant. The stained glass windows, the bar "altar" area, the pews for seating, and the photo collages of the original church and parishioners. All just so charming and we absolutely loved it. So much so that when we had family in from out of town a few weeks later, we couldn't wait to bring them there! Shout out to our lovely server, Kelly. She was a doll!! We wish the Taco Guild the best of everything - thanks for a beautiful place to come for dinner!!
FEED ME TACOS AND TELL ME I'M PRETTY!
I heard of this place on food TV and I love Tacos so, there you go. I live in Seattle, and This is one of the first places I think of returning to every time I'm in town. I've been here a few times now, and it doesn't disappoint... well, perhaps in one area.
My most recent visit had me eating their day before Thanksgiving special... a Thanksgiving-inspired taco with turkey, cranberries, mashed potato, and other flavors of the big meal. This, alongside a falafel taco and a fish taco... love fish tacos. All three were amazing. I've had other interesting tacos, including the duck. Their tortillas are lovely too. I'm a corn tortilla fan, and at this place, I'm a flour tortilla fan as well.
The Chips are light and thin, very crisp, and yet still allow me to dig into their fabulous salsas! I can be a bit of a spice wuss, but sometimes the flavor is so good I sweat it out.
The inventive cocktails are great, too.
It's all just too much to list here so I'll toss up a couple of pics, and you'll just have to check out the menu or stop in to see what the specials are... Turkey Taco!
Our server was more than attentive and her recommendations were spot on.
Now for the area of needed improvement. On my first trip in a few years ago, they had this amazing phrase mounted and illuminated on their wall next to the entry. I so wanted a T-shirt of it... apparently, men don't like to be fed Tacos or to be told they are pretty because, like back then my trip a few weeks ago I was met with the same disappointment... No men's T-shirt with "Feed me tacos and tell me I'm pretty", only women's. I'm not opposed to a snug-fitting T but ladies T's just aren't cut right for my 6' 4" stature. Perhaps I'll have to whip one up myself.
Happy Tacoing!
Overall, Taco Guild was a good experience. It’s inside what looks like an old church with stained glass windows and Bible verses on the windows.
Service was excellent and the menu large. My grilled shrimp tacos on flour were so tasty as was the elote. The warm chips and four salsas they bring out for free hit the spot too. However, my wife said her pork taco was horrible.
They have a large drink menu, including hard cider and sours. The strawberry rhubarb sour was good!
I had a wonderful evening spending time with some friends at this location. It was my first time here and the food and drinks were delicious! I had the enchiladas and Pineapple Penicillin cocktail. I would highly recommend both. I also love the atmosphere of the restaurant and the chips and salsa served comes with 4 different salsa choices, which was awesome.
The next time I visit Phx area, I would love to come back again!
Great attentive staff. Food was ok. Some was better than others. The pork was dry and a bit bland. The shrimp tacos had amazing flavor. Chips and salsa and guac were super good. So was the corn dip.
Great place, interesting decoration , some are from previous church.
Nice live music. Big bar.
Nice outdoor patio.
Food is very good from tacos to grilled burrito. Favorite was the octopus tacos. Good drinks.
As someone from the East Coast, I visited Phoenix on a whim, and with the only intent being to find "Mexican food that I simply can't track down easily back home." Every single stop for tacos was, of course, on a different scale than any Mexican food I'd had a chance to try before, but Taco Guild was a special little stop while on a vintage clothes shopping spree in the nearby area.
Our server was extremely helpful in making the 'best of the best' choices off the menu, and was beyond knowledgeable on how to dissect it around a Celiac Allergy. That alone always makes me feel seen and special. The trio of tacos offered were beyond any expectation. House pressed soft corn tortilla. Every ounce of love and care needed to make the ingredients shine independently and as a cohesive unit. If you get a hankering for some really, really good Mexican Cuisine, I had zero regrets across the board.
Extra Extra points for the stained glass murals and open, vaulted ceilings. The decor, atmosphere, and overall presentation leaves a memory I'll admire fondly.
And food that I'll be envious I can't find easily now that I'm back home. 5/5 across the board <3
Interesting place to go and try some delicious tacos. The building appears to be an old methodist church or mission from the late 1800s so it makes for a very interesting atmosphere.
Our favorite tacos we tried in order of favorite were Chipotle cherry steak taco, shrimp taco, fish taco, and the barbacoa taco.
We also tried the Angel Wings with dry rub and the strawberry hot sauce on the side. The strawberry hot sauce is absolutely amazing!
The complimentary chips and salsa are excellent as well my favorite was the habanero salsa. But they have 4 different types of complimentary salsa and they are all really good!
I loved the ambiance and the structure of the restaurant! The service was pretty good and our server was efficient. I had the steak tacos and their street corn, and it was tasty! Their restrooms are also really pretty and clean. I saw that they also had brunch specials so I would certainly love to come back for that.
It was my son's birthday 🎂 his restaurant pick so we tried something new! It was the right choice ❤️ YUM 😋
If you "love" 1800 architecture, tonce aplace to gather and worship, now a place to gather and eat. Just the best cooked fresh daily with the best of the best ingredients and homemade sauces, chips...obvious perfection 🥰 💞
