Best Tacos in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"This cute little taco shop, with its fancy backbar and mural of Frida Kahlo, also offers real-deal tacos. Monterrey-born chef Suny Santana — with backup from his chef-partner Aaron Chamberlin — turns out nine different options, each served on a handmade corn tortilla (or flour tortilla in the case of the carne asada-filled Sonoran) with a slice of cucumber and wedge of lime. Choose among such outstanding selections as juicy barbacoa and the costra (carne asada with caramelized cheese and caramelized onion). Don’t miss the fabulous carnitas, made from pork shoulder and pork belly cooked in their own juices (along with a bit of spices, orange and beer), until the meat achieves sticky unctuousness." - McConnell Quinn
