I do not have the time to revisit restaurants too often, but when I have a taco craving I do like to make my way to come here. The fish tacos are great as well! I love their salsas and service is quick for how busy they can get. All the photos I attached to this review are from different times I have been here. I have probably come here 10+ times which often for me. I mention that, because it speaks to how often I make my way to go downtown and attempt to find close parking just to eat their tacos. Love it here!

Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere in Roosevelt Row. Great drinks and tacos. El Pastor only served on Wednesdays which is the only one I haven’t tried. Consistently good even on busy days such as First Fridays. Friendly service always willing to help decide on a drink or meal. Also, very excited they are opening a new location in the East Valley

Taquero Mucho is a decent spot for tacos; while I won't describe them as amazing, I tried the fish taco. The torta, however, had an average taste. Despite the nice ambience and seating, the overall flavor was mediocre. We appreciated the vibe and service, but I wouldn't recommend it solely based on taste.

We visited Taco Chelo in the evening around 7 pm and it was busy, but there was still available seating inside as well as outside on the patio. It's a walk up counter where you order and then they bring the food out to you. We ordered both the Sonoran style tacos with cabbage and the Tijuana style tacos with cilantro and onions, as well as tortilla chips / salsa, refried beans and a margarita. The food was delicious and had a lot of flavor. The carne asada meat was marinated and tender and the size of the taco was a decent size (not the tiny ones so many street tacos seem to be these days). The refried beans had a creamier texture than I was used to but they were absolutely delicious. Whatever they are using to add some spice to it definitely works! Great salsa too. Overall, we were very pleased and if we found ourselves in the neighborhood, we would visit again.

This is a good little Taqueria. It’s in the downtown area Phoenix not too far from Chase Field. They have a good selection of tacos all on house made tortillas. Our first visit here, we tried a selection of five different tacos and all of them were good. Our favorite tacos were the fish taco, Al Pastor, and the Sonoran taco. We’ll be coming back to taste some more!
Some of my favorite items are:
Sonoran Taco ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Al pastor taco ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fish taco ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My guide on how I use the 5 star system:
⭐️ = Not good
⭐️⭐️ = Not terrible, but would not get again
⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Solid, but I’d try something else before this again
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Really liked it! You should try this
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Loved it! Must try
I’ll make adjustments to my ratings after subsequent visits. If you see a .3 or .7 it means:
.3 = Wasn’t as good the 2nd or last time I tried it
.7 = This was better the 2nd or last time I tried it.

We dined at Taco Chelo in downtown Phoenix, it was a good experience. Cozy atmosphere with a creative twist on traditional Mexican cuisine. The service at Taco Chelo was friendly and attentive.

Amazing tacos and such a fun down town spot. Fast service for a Saturday afternoon around noon. The barbacoa was amazing, as was the costra. The fish taco was delicious and perfectly fried but the best one of all was the the Sonoran… 10/10. Chips and salsa are also a must, the chips are awesome. Only disappointment was the refried beans… tasted like ketchup. Highly recommend and will be returning!!

My wife and I ordered one of every taco 🌮 🙌 🌮
I struggle to find the words for how amazing these tacos were. Every single one of the tacos were astounding! Perfect level of char on the carne, the porky flavor coming through in the carnitas, the smokiness of a mesquite kiss just enough for nostalgia without overpowering the rest of the flavor, even a crazy caramelized onion and caramelized cheese taco that was was like nothing we'd ever experienced. The big shocker was how fantastic the veggie taco was, so flavorful and savory. The tortillas are often underappreciated, but here they are so good they have their own strong presence in the flavor and texture profiles that serves the elevate the rest of the handfuls of perfection.
The food is just so damn good, and the atmosphere is relaxed. We were in town for a show and even tried to head back for seconds afterward, but they were closed already. We keep talking about driving the 2 hours just to enjoy it again. Next level wonderful. 💯 🔥

Done if the best tacos I've ever eaten! They were flavorful and spiced just right. I tried the carne asada, the chicken, and the Sonoran. My favorite was the carne asada. I also had the prickly pear margarita which was flavorful but not too sweet. While it's a seasonal flavor, I imagine since it was that delicious, the original they make must be just as great.

I had the Carne Asada and Costra tacos and they were delicious! Horchata tends to be either a hit or miss when I go to Mexican restaurants and theirs was a definite hit! The staff are also very friendly and nice.

The tacos here are excellent. They have good horchata as well. The staff was friendly and professional.

Fast, affordable, delicious tacos! It might take a bit to out your order in as it’s a small place with not too much seating inside but once your order is in, the food comes out quickly. I went with the asada, fish, and carnitas tacos. They were all super juicy and delicious. They have a bar as well which makes for a great place to grab a bite and drinks after work or on the way to bar hop on Roosevelt Row. If it wasn’t for the limited seating inside, I’d definitely give them 5 stars. Looking forward to my next visit.

I can’t say enough good things about it. Service was awesome got our drinks right away from the bar and found seating at the community table and enjoyed our tacos with the freshest handmade tortillas. Cutest old ladies making them and reminds me of my grandma. I’d highly recommend and make sure to get the salsas for the tacos.

First time here!
Almost perfect but I'm starting to be more critical of my grading...
The restaurant itself is awesome. The inside is a little limited in seating, but the patio is big!
Overall the food was amazing. The flavors and textures were spot ON. I loved the robust yellow corn tortillas. I love that corn flavor with my tacos! They're almost like eating roasted corn with meat and salsas. The salsas were ALL good. But they need a salsa de aguacate!
Tacos: we had barbacoa, carne asada, and carnitas. Wow...... I have yet to find barbacoa like this in AZ. Now I've never had barbacoa from Mexico, but I've come to love the barbacoa I get in El Paso, and this was that, but better! The carne asada was good too and the carnitas were authentic with their level of grease!
Torta: oh man.... This chorizo torta was to die for. I'd say it needed something more, but it was nearly perfect. It was actually perfectly balanced with chorizo, beans, cheese, and, most importantly, every bite had fresh avacado. A lot of tortas miss that for me. Not enough avacado!!
What would I add? Better chips and slightly bigger salsa containers for the chips and salsa. Salsa de aguacate, a nice crema (maybe Oaxaca), and some fixings on the side. Onion for a instance. But these are not needed! Just would be nice.

I truly enjoy this place, have to go at the right time though or the food they serve is kind of cold. I have gone a few times and it seems around 4-5pm time the food is definitely colder than going around lunch. A little expensive but what isn't nowadays, really good food so I'll continue going.
I enjoy the salsas a lot and tacos and mini quesadillas are great!
I look forward to trying more.
Jordan Steel
Wow. These tacos are delicious! I got three and they were all very different and all so good! Definitely loved this place.
The music was too loud for me, but the outdoor dining was really nice.
David Ramirez
Food is amazing here. I would say I’ve been here maybe 5-6 times this year and will always go back if I’m in the area. If you’re looking for an amazing Mexican food restaurant look no further.

We stumbled upon this gem and had the best meal of our trip to AZ here. The food is authentic, deeply flavorful, and served in a modern, festive atmosphere. The drinks were strong and service was great, too.
