Arizona Taco Co.

Ooooh my…. Listen up… I do not prefer Mexican food in the slightest, literally my least favorite food. I recently went on vacation in cali and discovered birria ramen. 🍜 I’ve been craving it since… so I went to my google maps and searched “birria ramen” as a shot in the dark. Bullseye!!🎯 It’s everything I wanted and far more than I expected. The consommé was delicious and flavorful. Although thicker than my original experience I was far from disappointed. My love tried the shrimp tacos and we were unsure on the apple pico (we are not adventurous eaters) and normally she will only eat grilled shrimp…. To my surprise she loved it. She said the apple really just worked with the overall flavor. Everything looks like it’s made fresh to order. Love it. Customer service. 10/10. Are you kidding people smiling at work and not frustrated with talking to you even tho your spot is so popular you have a line out the door. Cleanliness 10/10… I don’t know why that’s always over looked when considering where you eat. Crazy. Going in my list of good eats to visit. Will definitely be back. I wish I could share videos but I was too excited and ate it all. I promise if u get the ramen you will end your meal with the happy soup sniffles. Iykyk.

This is our second time here. They're pretty good with taking orders fast but waiting would take some time if it's busy. First time trying the Barria Pizza and it did not disappoint! The kids loved the cheese pull! We were lucky to try their strawberry tres leches cake! Soon to be on the menu! It was delicious 😋 The guy taking our order was kind of odd. He was ready to take our order and then when I got to the 3rd item, he zoned out and was looking into the kitchen. And as we proceeded, he picked up the phone, but another guy came and took the phone. He messed up our order but it was alright. Then we eventually had to wait and ask twice for our carne asada fries and the lady who gave it to us was very sincere and apologized but we didn't mind because we dined in anyways. I asked another lady for some lids and a bag and she didn't look too happy. Seemed annoyed. They were pretty busy and all over the place but overall, did pretty good. There was a guy cleaning trash and trays off tables but the tables could use more wiping down as they were sticky.

The owner and his team are so nice! Super good food! We had dunked tacos, chicken quesadilla and Al pastor tacos! The flour Tortillas are so fresh and soft, all the sauces are delicious. We always love coming here with our family. Come visit them

Amazing!! The food is really delicious, the place is always clean, and the employees treat the customers which such a joyful, kind and generous way. There is always a positive environment when coming in to the restaurant. It’s such a nice way to spend a day when you come to eat here! Don’t miss out, definitely come here!

The food here is amazing! Loved the Birra Dunked Tacos and the Carne Asada tacos. The main gentleman is super energetic and has a definite love for this place and his customers. I’ve already returned with my daughter and she wants to come back to try other things on their menu. Don’t skip the Sopaipillas for dessert. Just the right amount of sweetness.

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Arizona Taco Co. is an absolute gem! We tried the Big AZ Burrito, and it was incredible—packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients and perfectly balanced in every bite. You can truly taste the quality in every component, from the tender, seasoned meat to the homemade tortillas. We also had one of their desserts, and it was just as impressive—rich, delicious, and the perfect way to end our meal. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and welcoming staff that made us feel right at home. You can tell they take pride in what they do, from the cleanliness of the restaurant to the attention to detail in every dish. We only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often, but we will definitely be back whenever we're in the area! If you're looking for authentic, high-quality Mexican food with excellent service, Arizona Taco Co. is the place to go.

My hubby and his buddy stopped by for lunch and it was so delicious he came to get me try it for dinner. I ordered the BIG AZ Burrito🌯, this thing was huge. Stuffed with tantalizing morsels of deliciousness in every bite. Super prices, friendly out going staff. They even tossed in a free dessert. Definitely a place to try again!

Incredible food, got the Big AZ Burrito and it loved up to it's name. The guy up front recognized it was our first time and even brought us dessert on the house. Inside is a bit cluttered but overall very good.

If you want tacos and you live in the north metro, you need to give this place a try! The Al pastor tacos and SO GOOD! My other tacos were good but the Al pastor was soooooo flavorful! Service was quick and friendly! Family friendly, fast casual restaurant with fresh tortillas!

This is my first time giving a 1 star review. I have been really wanting to try this place. They do an outstanding job in creating hype, having influencers posting about it, etc. Definitely not worth the hype! If you want authentic tacos, go to a local food truck or Que Taco which is just a couple miles away. So the following is my reasoning for the 1 star review... We came in around 6:30 on a Saturday evening. The seating area had maybe about 5 tables occupied but we easily found seating (an indication that it wasn't packed). They had about 4-5 employees in working, so not understaffed. Customers were standing near the counter but we noticed a kiosk off to the left. Since it was our first time visiting, we weren't sure where to order. Since there wasn't a line at the kiosk, we went there. We were a group of 6, so one couple ordered the "Tony Cu" pizza ( a half/half) from the kiosk. The second couple ordered shrimp tacos and the birria ramen (lots of social media buzz on this). I ordered the Churros and Sopapillas (dessert for the table). Shrimp tacos and birria ramen came out first. After having a bite of each, I would rank it as a 2/5. Nothing special. Ramen noodles are the cheap kind that come in an instant cup ramen type. The broth was just salty and greasy. Not much umami and definitely not worth the price! We waited for a total of 40 minutes since placing our order on the kiosk before inquiring what's going on with the pizza, churros, and sopapillas. So the pizza was packed in a box but left on a back counter (in the kitchen) totally forgotten by the employees. As for the churro and sopapillas, they never even started it. There was no apology,no effort to try to make it right. So we just asked for a refund and left with a cold pizza and no dessert. My photos are of my friend's order. Not mine since they never completed my order.

Was really excited to try this place. It always seems busy and has won many "best of " awards in the twin cities. Inside felt very claustrophobic. Remember Chris Farleys famous line "Fat guy in a little coat"...too many tables inside for the space. Ordering was a little weird. They have a kiosk to the side and a front counter. There staff was not welcoming or friendly and offered no help. The exposed kitchen was dirty and not great to look at to be honest. Order: Tony Cu's pizza which is half El pastor and half beef buirria. They forgot to tell us the pizza was ready so we sat there for as long time so we just got it to go. They forgot to give us the beef dipping sauce until I asked them and they forgot altogether to give us the salsas for the El pastor side. The taste was good not great. Crust was chewy and satisfying. Cool concept. Shrimp taco. Definitely I would classify as "American style" taco. Shredded lettuce and a mayo based sauce. Great crispy texture outside and juicy delicious shrimp on the inside. Buirria ramen. Broth had ok flavor. It was missing that deep rich intense flavor. Definitely needed the lime. Noodle texture was good. It was good to try once but would not order again. El pastor taco. They forgot or lost the order ticket in the kitchen. We got a refund but the staff was not friendly or apologetic about it. Overall: Everyone and restaurants have a bad day. This might be the case for our experience. But in the taco/Mexican space just based on flavor and food there are much better options in the area such as Que taco, Pineda taco and tacos El paraiso.

We have eaten here a couple of times and the food has been excellent each time. I haven't been inside because I usually wait in the car with our dog, but what I can see through the window looks nice. It is a "fast food" type of place. You order at the counter and wait for your food. They have a large menu with lots of options. I had a taco salad last time, which was excellent and a generous amount of food. Today I had the torta which was amazing! Lots of meat and very generous portions of all of the other ingredients. It will definitely be enough for two meals, maybe more. My husband can eat a lot, but he could only finish half of the Big Az Burrito. It is huge and packed with all kinds of good stuff. He loved it. Highly recommend this place! Sorry the photos are of half eaten food, we were hungry and eager to dive into the food because it smelled so good!

This place never disappoints! You want tacos, a burrito, a torta, even pizza.....they have it and it's going to be delicious. I'm from Los Angeles so anytime I can get authentic food with good service in a local spot, I'm down. When my parents come for a visit, this is always a spot they ask to eat. They have kind and attentive employees and everything is tasty! You won't regret making a trip here.

One of the best Tacos!! We had the al pastor and carnitas and both of them were amazing !! I loved their sauces as well. I would definitely come here again to try some of their other stuffs in the menu. The service was fast.

I would highly recommend Arizona Taco Company for all taco cravings! This time I ordered their birria pizza and it was absolutely worth every penny. Served super hot, fresh out of the oven with their delicious consomé and salsas on the side. The pizza has about 8 slices and topped with their birria meat. The orange salsa is by far the best and pairs well!! I will be back for their quesadillas!!!

It's been a few years since we tried and wanted to give it another go. We ordered takeout and got dunked tacos, regular street tacos and the big AZ burrito. All were delicious! The burrito was absolutely monstrous. Two of us split it and still had extra left over. The tacos were both gobbled up. Although very different, both were amazing. I'd recommend getting each so that you can try both styles. We also ordered the queso with meat which was amazing! I could've just eaten that for my meal. Bonus is that they give you tons of chips and a variety of salsas. Be warned, some are spicy! Overall, glad we tried AZ Taco Company again and I'm sure we'll be back soon!

We moved to the Twin Cities from Phoenix and one of the big things I miss are my favorite places to eat back home. Luckily, there are many great food spots here, and since I make Mexican food, including my own fresh tortillas, it was less painful that we hadn't found a really good Mexican restaurant. However, it's still nice to have good options when I don't feel like cooking. When we first arrived, our neighbor recommended a nearby Mexican Restaurant in Champlin. Excited, we tried it out. No no no no no. That is not Mexican food. Since then, we found a place in Mankato coming home from a trip, but that's way too far. Recently, I saw this Arizona Taco Company on a local foodie group being talked about by fellow southwest US transplants, so we decided to check them out when we were running errands nearby. When I walked in, it smelled good. Good sign. We ordered two carne asada burritos and a bean & cheese burrito to go. Asked for some habanero (for my hubby who likes a LOT of spice) and medium green salsas on the side for me. They surprised us with an order of sopapilla chips (minus the whipped cream since it was to go). When we got home, we tasted some of each burrito (which I missed taking a picture of). So, back in Phoenix, there's a dive called Rolando's on 35th Ave & Peoria. No one, and I mean no one, makes a bean & cheese burrito like Rolando's. I've never been able to find as good at a restaurant or in a recipe. Sadly, AZ Taco Company, like everyone else, does not match Rolando's bean and cheese, but their burritos are daaang good! The tortillas are fresh, the carne asada is yummy, the bean & cheese is nice and cheesy, their habanero was spicy with a thumbs up from my hubby, and the green medium was perfectly spicy for me. The three burritos were also huge (easily two big meals for the two of us). Sopapillas. When it comes to desserts, we're pretty selective. Our favorite sopapillas are from Los Dos Molinos (again, in Phoenix - I highly recommend this place if you're in Phoenix) - hot, fresh, soft, with a light, sweet drizzle of honey and cinnamon - miss those! These were sopapilla chips, so a crispy version. At first, I was thinking they would probably go to waste, but after each of us tried a chip, my husband and I both realized they reminded us both of a cereal we both ate as kids - cinnamon toast crunch. Sure enough, I put some in a bowl, broke them up into smaller pieces and poured in some milk - viola! A favorite childhood taste. If you're missing the taste of Mexican food from the Southwest, the Arizona Taco Company will meet that craving. We'll be back.

My work got delivery from here today and it was amazing! They branched out into pizzas so we orders two and they were absolutely delicious. So much flavor in all of the fresh ingredients, and the crust *chef's kiss*. I have a feeling I will be going back and back to this place!

Went to ATC for a lunch with coworkers for the first time and the food was great! Easy to order at the kiosk and service was very fast and friendly. The queso was delicious and my quesadilla was as well. I also enjoyed the spicy salsa as recommended by one of the staff members. Small amount of seating inside but it seemed like a lot of people took orders to go as well! Will definitely be returning here for takeout in the near future. Oh and bonus, they brought us free sopapillas since it was our first time in! Definitely recommend.

AZ burrito is MASSIVE in size, imo. It's two meals in one for me, and it's definitely packed with loads of goodies. Places is nice and cozy, since the last time I've went. Now they bought the location next door and is planning to expand in new menu items!

2nd time visiting AZ Taco Company. We enjoyed our visit. As we dined in, we noticed that the customers are a wide variety! It goes to show that everyone loves the food too.

Best damn tacos (or burritos) in the Twin Cities. Been coming here for a few years since Tony Cu reviewed them the first time. I've loved nearly everything I've had from there. While the deep fried tacos were pretty underwhelming, the Big Az Burrito is my favorite thing on their menu. Today I had the three enchiladas and left with a very happy tummy. A family member has asked if they have vegetarian or mushroom-based options. Seems like they have a few vegetarian options (but no mushroom alternatives.) We haven't tried any of those yet. Service can be hit or miss, depending on how busy they are and if the counter staff are attentive. This is about the only thing knocked them down star over. But when they're on, they're ON.

Drove past this place a hundred times, finally decided to stop in and try it. Amazing customer service, the owner and cashier were solid. Menu and the food we ordered blew my mind. Straight one way ticket to flavor town, definitely will be coming here as much as possible now. If you haven't tried it, you need to.10/10 best food around

This place is a hidden gem. The line was long but it went very fast. The people there are great and the food was top of the line. Very authentic. I talked some friends into coming along this time and they all raved about it. The manager came out and gave us a complimentary SOPAPILLA. Wow was that a show stopper. I love this place

Great food and great service. You know it's a win when even the kids like the food! We have been here a lot and haven't had one bad experience. Great family place.

I wanted to love this place because of how close to home it is and the rave reviews by others. I do want to applaud the customer service. The guy at the counter was rocking a Vikings jersey and helped me go over the menu and decide what to get. He was incredibly enthusiastic and helpful. If my review was just about him/service, it would be a 4-5. Unfortunately, I care more about the food. The tacos were pretty good. I had the Birria "dunked" tacos, a fried taco, and the regular taco with various meats. While they all tasted pretty decent, the flavor didn't wow me. I asked for them to be spicy and I was pointed towards the spicy salsa that I could add. Herein lies the reason I offer a three star review for AZ Taco Company - the salsa. The typical red salsa was so watery that it was hard to dip a chip and get it to my mouth... And to put it bluntly, I didn't like the flavor. They have a few additional salsas - so I asked for the green and the hot also. I typically love salsa - aka I can darn near drink it by the galloon, whether traditional red, green tomatillo, or other more original kinds. That was not the case here. I honestly didn't like ANY of the three. The flavor was just off-putting to me and the little cups they provided just didn't make any sense if I wanted to dip a chip. Sorry AZ Taco Co., you just aren't for me!

Friend and I went here for lunch. They were slammed - people were waiting for takeout. He got the Carne Asada Fries and I got the Dunked Tacos. Both pretty good. House sauces were good too - the habanero one was KICKIN! There are good people working there. And good food. You can't go wrong.

If you're craving authentic Mexican food, Arizona Taco Co. is the way to go. Our order arrived quickly & the service is friendly. The shop is a welcoming environment. Definitely will be coming back.

Went here on a whim and were highly satisfied. We ordered the carne asada fries to eat there and thought they were perfectly assembled. Ratio of all toppings was absolutely perfect. Well flavored and the fries themselves were crunchy and lovely. We also got a horchata and YUMMMM though I haven't met one I didn't like ‍ We ordered the big phx burrito to go as we weren't too hungry but knew we would be later in the evening. We sure are glad that we took a break between. This burrito is MASSIVE and quite delectable. All the meats worked well together. The downside of taking it to go was the tortilla got a bit soggy - didn't slow us down at all. Service was on par for a little taco place in a strip mall, as was the ambiance. It was a really warm day, and warm inside. I don't like to eat burritos when I'm too warm, but it was manageable.

Arizona Taco was awesome. The food was really good and very reasonably priced. We were even given a tasty treat from one of the family members for dessert. That was awesome too.. All in all it was a great experience and would highly recommend if you're looking for authentic quick Mexican food!!!

The service was AMAZING also the food was DELICIOUS I would 100% recommend the vibe was absolutely amazingggggg thank you sooo much I recommend the food for my family and they all LOVED and enjoyed the food service and vibe it is SO welcoming and calm.

Service and food was amazing! We will definitely be coming back. It reminded us of our California life and such a pleasant surprise!

Are you craving some fast and delicious food!? Look no further! I was craving Birria tacos (here they are called dunked tacos) and gave this place a try! There is plenty of parking as this place is located in a strip mall. The first thing I noticed was their readers choice awards and I would soon see why! The vibe here is very low key. You can watch them make your food, which was entertaining for my 3 year old. Everything decor wise is pretty gray and while it was clean, it didn't really make me want to stay. This is the only reason for the 4 stars. The service here was patient, nice and speedy once I actually figured out what to get! The tacos and quesadilla were very tasty!! I will definitely be back for the dunked tacos! I wish the consommé had a little more flavor but it was still good! Plenty of meat and cheese! The churros were a perfect ending! Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and rolled in the perfect amount of cinnamon sugar! Oh my gosh I almost forgot! Get the horchata!! Sweet and tasty!! You just can't go wrong! I will absolutely be back! This just made my top 3 taco places of Minnesota for 2023!

This has been on my list for agesss and for my partner's holiday gift I got him a "Birria Passport" to visit some spots in the Twin Cities! This is the first one we crossed off and here's the verdict: SPACE: Small but has quite a few tables inside. About half of folks got stuff to go. SERVICE: Was efficient and friendly! They take your order up front and call your number when food is ready. FOOD: Queso - hard pass. It tastes like the nacho cheese dip you get at a stadium. It was a bummer to start off with this! Quesadilla - thin but the tortilla was so bubbly and fresh, I loved it! Tacos - My partner and I agreed they might be the best Al pastor tacos we've had. Fresh homemade tortillas too! Dunked tacos - AKA birria. Great flavor, held together well, delicious consommé. Really enjoyed everything except the queso. They also do birria ramen!

WOW! DELICIOUS! My experience here was wonderful! When arrived there was a line of hungry people and almost all the tables were filled with people enjoying the food. The service was fast, so we didn't wait in line long. Once we got to the counter to order Vinny was there to help. He was the sweetest ever and very friendly. Vinny let us know that all the corn tortillas are homemade right in the house. He also helped me decide what I wanted to order. I was asking about the ramen birria and then he showed me a picture of it on the screen in front of the till and the drunken tacos! What I ordered was delicious! My boyfriend order street tacos and he loved them! He gave me some of the meat inside the taco and that was sooooo delicious! I'm already craving more and want to go back! I'm so happy to have found this place in my boyfriends' new neighborhood.

Go out of your way and try their birria tacos!! Small business, good service. I prefer takeout!

Definitely not street tacos however, for Americanized tacos or maybe fusion tacos they tasted really good the salads and the avocado a really, really fresh. Rice was excellent. I had the soup with Ramen and it was good . No spicy food. However, you can add some spice on the sides. Easy access to Highway 169 and 36 Ave. parking plentiful. Prices are market average. Service is quick.

Your going to want to add this location to your list of must tries. located off 169 in the strip mall a very easy location to get to and they are super fast. For us its extremely close to home so its a plus but both our littles love the food just as much as we do. Family owned and everyone is extremely friendly. You must try their dunken tacos and the deep fried burrito its worth the hype and the calories! If you are ordering the queso you need to make sure you order it with meat otherwise the plain queso I would say is nothing to write home about. Knowing the insider tips on how to order helps i.e the queso We also love the churros as a treat and enjoyed that!

I was really impressed by your attention to detail! For the fish and shrimp tacos, you use wheat tortillas, and for the meat tacos, you use corn tortillas. This really enhances the flavor of the dishes and shows that you care about quality. Special thanks to the friendly staff and the fresh ingredients -- everything is top-notch!

The taco salad was really good. The bowl was so delicious and I really enjoyed the crisp of it. The sauces the dish came with were so tasty and I loved the variety! The service was fast. We ordered take out and it took maybe 10 minutes from after we called the order in!

This is my fav Taco place. The birria tacos are the best ones I've ever tasted in my life!! They always made hot and fresh and every bite is amazing! 10/10 highly recommend!

Great customer service and yummy food. We would come back again. Clean and new location.

Food was fast and very good I had the big az and my wife had the carne asada fries. Both were very flavorful and would have them again.

This quickly became one of my wife and I's regular spots. Everyone is always nice and fun to be around. Food is consistently great and worth the price. I've tried quite a bit of their menu and it's always been a hit. Would definitely recommend.

The fried taco.... Get it!!!! Bean and cheese burritos that are huge and you can add red or green sauce and make them "wet". The only negative was the bean and cheese burrito had MOUNDS of cheese. I would 100% order everything again. They also included 3 types of hot sauce/salsa that was so good.

Food was great! Highly recommend the birria ramen it was super delicious. Service was great and they attended me fast

The massive Arizona burrito was incredible. This was enough food for about 3 people. It has two types of meat (at least) and was the size of a small infant. The tortilla was fresh and chewy. The thing had enough rice and beans to serve a small army. Everything was fresh and savory. Really great lunch. The churros were also awesome.

Wonderful food. Great flavors. Great friendly service. Definitely worth the stop. Large menu for all food lovers.

This food is always delicious and has never failed to be so. The workers are always so welcoming and nice they get food ready super quickly. Very modern looking in a good way it's very home feeling.

Food is amazing, nice and clean restaurant. We got about 5 different things in total and everything was excellent

Originally from Arizona, living out here for the summer and for the first time in 3 years I feel at home. The food was amazing, the staff was super friendly and yea, I can't even describe into words what I felt being here! Definitely get the Dunked Tacos and the Guacamole! The Sopapillas Crispy were also insane! Shoutout to Vinny for the hospitality

Tried for the first time tonight and will definitely go back. We had the dunk tacos and some fried tacos. Really good, good price, ready to go in minutes. The interior was nice, clean and spacious. I can't wait for their expansion to be complete. There was some mention of Mexican pizzas? Looking forward to trying more of their dishes.

Excellent customer service and better yet amazing food! Great atmosphere here! Coming back!

I ordered the burrito with rice, beans and lettuce(3)..The Birria/Dunked tacos with consume' and the three taco wrap things that came with corn tortillas wrapped with ground beef/ fixings pico, guac, lettuce, rice and beans.. There was no flavor to the "Dunked Taco's" or the consume at all! The Burrito's were wrapped in foil after ordering so..when eating the burrito the shell was doughy and needed to be fried..which sucked butt cause it had lettuce..which should be served on the side..

We were greeted as soon as we came in, and walked through the menu with the cashier. The food was prepared in front of us, and looking at the customers that were sitting enjoying lunch let us know we were about to have a mouth orgasm.

The chicken tacos were amazing, tons of meat and very flavorful! The homemade spicy salsa was fantastic and the heat definitely made me sweat a bit. Next time I am in town, I will be back!!

I really hate to leave a low rating review...so let me explain that this review is only for their famous Barilla Ramen which is their special available only on Mondays, which is the only item I tried at this establishment. I ordered it for takeout on a very cold day...and I was excited and really, really looking forward to enjoying a hearty and tasty meal of soup and ramen noodles... Boy, was I really disappointed. The soup was extremally spicy, and I needed to add extra hot water (LOTS) to make it even edible... Then the noodles... it was mushy and overcooked. This meal was a real turnoff. Although there are other items on the menu that seem appealing, like fish tacos.... I do not plan to return to this establishment.
