Tatemados Tacos al Carbon: Authentic Mexican Tacos & Burritos in Phoenix

We have driven by this location a few times in the past 3 months and today was the day we decided to eating out. Staff was friendly. The pricing was great. At $3.99 per pollo asado tacos was a well served protein amount. I enjoyed the carne asada plate tatemados style. I had a healthy portion of skirt steak that was cooked medium well. That’s how I prefer it and a whole Anaheim roasted green chile with delicious melted cheese(queso). Rice and beans and about 10 small corn tortillas round out the perfect meal. Salsa bar was fresh and loaded. The guacamole was excellent and fresh. But do watch out for the “hot” red salsa. Man, it was delicious but true to the warnings that it is Sspiccyy .. A large Hortacha drink sealed the meal and tempered the spiciness. Weather was great today for outside dining. Parking is limited but available on the streets. I highly recommended for great tacos and an affordable meal.

Today I was graciously invited in to this restaurant to try out some tacos. I was blown away by the friendliness of the owner and staff as well as by their food. The flour tortillas are fresh, chewy in all the right ways, and have incredible flavor. Their salsa bar is delicious from end to end. The Al Pastor and the Carne Asada were both delicious and came in great portions. I will definitely be coming back here anytime I’m in the mood for authentic Mexican food!

Friendly dude running the cashier. Cool vibes, and I was absolutely blown away by the food. I had the green chile burrito and it was somthing special. I will definitely become a regular, and probably be coming back every week for their taco Tuesday deal. Looking forward to trying all the other menu items.

I’ve passed by Tatemados Tacos Al Carbon a few times and finally decided to stop in for lunch and I’m really glad I did. I was craving Mexican food, and this spot hit the mark. There’s something special about tacos al carbon, and you can really taste it here. That mesquite flavor stands out in the best way, it’s smoky, bold, and instantly takes you to that backyard cookout vibe. I ordered the carne asada burrito, which came with rice and beans inside just how I grew up eating them! It’s not like the usual taco shop that just loads up meat, guac, and salsa. This burrito felt authentic, hearty, and packed with flavor. I paired it with an horchata, and it was the perfect combo. Refreshing and smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. If you’re in downtown Phoenix and in the mood for real Mexican food with deep flavor, I definitely recommend checking out Tatemados. I’ll be back for sure! #TatemadosTacos #DowntownPhoenixEats #AlCarbonFlavor #MexicanFoodDoneRight

Hands down one of the best taco shops in the area!!! Tacos and quesadillas are super good and filled with plenty of meat. The flavor is flavoring. Amazing salsa bar. The staff was inviting and helpful. Can't wait to bring my family members from out of state!

Checked out Tatemados today with a friend, fully expecting a casual taco run—and left in a full-on love affair with mesquite smoke, melted cheese, and possibly the man working the register. The moment we stepped through the doors, we were smacked (in the best way) with that warm, smoky mesquite scent that wraps around your senses and whispers, “You’re about to make some very good decisions.” And if the smell didn’t already have me entranced, the cashier certainly did. Tall, built like he could carry me and my emotional baggage, with a Spanish accent smoother than the queso on my quesabirria. I was drooling—over the tacos, obviously. Obviously. The food? Chef’s kiss, but like, with tongue. The shrimp tacos were grilled to perfection—plump, juicy, and kissed by that smoky char that makes you believe in magic again. And the quesabirria? Rich, cheesy, and dripping in all the right ways. I may or may not have moaned at the table. No regrets. Between the cozy patio vibes, the staff who clearly know what they’re doing, and the kind of food that makes you cancel dinner plans because you’re still full at 7pm… Tatemados is that spot. The kind you almost don’t want to tell people about because you want to keep it all to yourself. But I’m a giver. So go. And when you do, get the tacos… and maybe his number. I’ll definitely be back. For the tacos.

Amazing tacos and burritos. One the best taco restaurants here in Phoenix. The burrito tatemado is out of this world! The tatemado chile poblano and cheese is delight mixed with flavors! Great price, the owners are super friendly, great place to eat here. 2nd time eating here and will keep coming back, thank you for delicious food. Best regards, A.L
