"My friend and I visited Taco Chelo in downtown Phoenix at about noon on a Thursday in June, 2023. Parking was a bit challenging. There were parking spots right outside, some with a parking meter, one without a meter. We parked in the spot without a meter, crossing our fingers that we wouldn't be towed. When you go into the front door there is the food preparation on the left. A long table mid floor with condiments, plastic forks, etc. On the right of the long condiment table are a few tables chairs against the west wall. There was a short line of people lined up on the right side of the condiment table waiting to approach the order taker. At the back south end of the restaurant is a door leading to the outdoor patio (with misters above). Once it was our turn at the order counter, we ordered a variety of tacos; some fish, some pork. They were brought to our table after just a ten minute wait. All of the tacos came as soft shell laid flat with ingredients laid on top. A simple fold and we could eat them in the traditional taco to head turned somewhat sideways method. They were very tasty. The only problem I had was with the container on the table containing a mild red sauce. The radius opening at the top of the container was smaller than the size of the ingredients inside. So when I squeezed the plastic bottle, then when nothing came out I squeezed a little harder, out with a blast came the ingredients, splashing all over the plate, table and me. Lesson learned! Overall: This was the first of the eleven recommended authentic taco restaurants in the Valley. All of the staff were pleasant and effective doing their jobs. Authentic atmosphere of a small taco restaurant. It was well worth the 1-hour trip to get here. Here’s the most important question: Will we be back? Si. PS: Our car did not get towed."

"Not impressed at all. I'm a fan of food trucks and little greasy spoon joints, and I really love the marketing design, but it goes down hill from there. My kids and I went for our first time on a Saturday afternoon. The girl that took our order even asked if it was our first time, then just left it there. Not even sure why she asked. Didn't give us any direction or guidance in any way. Kind of odd. Anyway, I wanted to try a burger and some of their tacos, so I ordered both. My kids also ordered burgers. As many have stated, it was pretty pricy. We were one of four other small groups of people and they may have had some to go orders, as well. We waited quite awhile for our food considering the small number of customers. I would say 20 minutes. The interior is modest and cozy, but it was uncomfortably warm. The burgers aren't fresh. I was under the impression that they were, but they're not, and they are not seasoned well, if at all. It surprises me that they use better buns and condiments than they do the burger itself. Why not just hit it out of the park by making your own patties and seasoning them to perfection, rather than rounding to second base and never scoring. What a shame. The tacos are similar. Everything is good except the underseasoned meat. Tortillas could be made in house, but they are not. Spring mix lettuce isn't a good choice for tacos. Sauces are the bomb! The most disappointing thing is the value for your dollar. I could go to any full service restaurant and get better food for less money. For instance, I would not rate these burgers any higher than Red Robin's, and their tacos aren't better than any other taco truck down the road. For the money you could do better."
