Taco Nazo - Tempe

Authentic and delicious!! Art on the wall was fabulous. A gem.Food: 5/5

Delivered their food several times and it was always busy. We tried it yesterday and now we know why. I love the lingua and cabeza street tacos. Great staff!

Fast, friendly service. Street tacos are wonderful. Beans and rice excellent! A tiny place with a LOT of flavor! I really liked the art on the wall. Pics in pics.Food: 5/5

I have been going for years now originally I started going because I was sick and really needed some caldo and someone recommended it to me. They make menudo, pozole, caldo de rez etc my favorite is the #11 Chile verde plate though.

What a funky spot. It’s your fairly standard walk up to the counter style Mexican restaurant, but unlike most others, these guys serve beer and margaritas, and even have a happy hour!The walls are adorned with Picasso-esque takes on religious artwork, which left me feeling a little uncertain if they were honoring or mocking religion. Anyway….So, dear reader, you must know that one of my life’s missions is to find the best chimichanga in the world. I always order a bean and cheese chimi, partly because I want to keep the comparisons equal, but also because most places pack a chimi with meat and only meat, and that’s just too much, you know?So I order it to go. The service is slow. The dining room is packed with people who also haven’t gotten their food. Seeing this, I decide to order a beer to sip on while I wait. They gave me a lime, which was great!I finally get my chimi and take it back to work. The fork they supplied me with was too weak to handle the job, but the knife did just fine. I was immediately disappointed by the lack of pico de gallo. Come on guys, gimme that good stuff! It looked pretty boring with just the guac and sour cream. It tasted equally boring.The beans were fine, not spectacular, and it could’ve used more cheese. On my universal 13 point scale of chimichanga deliciousness, Taco Nazo’s chimi comes in at a 7. Not great. I mean, it wasn’t bad, but then again I was starving. The tortilla was a bit chewier than it should’ve been; I want more crunch. My fork probably would’ve survived better if the chimi was more crispy and easier to cut through.So, there you have it. Taco Nazo does NOT serve the best chimichanga in the world. Alas, the search continues.
