“ Tacos Huicho 1941 E Oak St, Phoenix, AZ 85006 I recently discovered Tacos Huicho, conveniently located near my office, and it was a delightful experience! The atmosphere is vibrant, filled with lively music that adds to the cheerful ambiance. I decided to try their combo #1, which comes with three tacos, rice, and beans. For the meats, I chose steak, pork, and tongue, and I must say, each taco was absolutely delicious! The staff were incredibly friendly, making the visit even more enjoyable. I will definitely be returning for more tasty tacos! ”
“ We asked our car rental rep for recommendation for good tacos near the PHX airport. This was exactly what we were looking for. The taco combos were tasty and portions were just enough. I’m glad we tried the drinks which were delicious. The staff were very helpful and offered great recommendations. Great service and good food after a long flight about 10 mins from the airport. ”
“ I’ve been here a couple of times and the food, service and atmosphere is always great! The agua frescas are sooooooo good, please do yourself a favor and get one. My personal favs are jamaica and horchata. ”
“ As a native Mexican, I can honestly say these are the best tacos I’ve had in the valley. We tried cecina, which was very authentic, asada and pastor. It’s INCREDIBLY hard to find tacos al pastor that can even come close the ones you have in CDMX. They can never get it right. But these are spectacular. Wow. Definitely more of a central Mexico taste, not the cheeses or spices you’ll get from other Mexican places that focus on cuisine from the north. (Love those too.) I felt like I was in Mexico City for a moment. This place feels and tastes like home. 10/10 ”
“ I’ve been going for many years and the food has always been amazing. They have three locations. This one is the original gangster location meaning it was built before the other others. It is also in a poor part of the town though it’s gotten better for example when I first started coming here, I would see a lot of stray animals walk on the same street as well as a lot of poverty though over overtime it’s gotten a lot better. The staff has always been amazing very friendly and tolerate my beginner Spanish. I love the energy because they play awesome music and have people mind their business enjoying their time with their families. The food is incredible for how many different types of meat they offer when I used to eat chorizo(longaniza) that was my favorite taco to get, though they’re all amazing and trust me I would know I ate a lot of Carne Asada, chicken(pollo), al Pastor tacos, you name it. The drinks slap! I love the horchata!! Their ice cream is amazing and they make a lot of home made flans and other desert dishes! ”
