This is my first review here on Yelp and I'm so happy that it's about this place! My roommate and I just moved out here from San Francisco about 2 months ago. Within the first week we went exploring to find some good places to go and eat or hang out. While we drove by we saw the amazing decor of this place and instantly fell in love! The owner John and his wife have only owned it for about a month now and it seems like it's been years for them. They just flow so smoothly with the customers and really make you feel special. The food is out of this world! I try to try all the different things on the menu but my heart is set on the rice bowl with cactus In it... Cactus!!!!! Not to mention they have Lavender lemonade that's to die for!! I truly love this place and my roommate and I eat here once a week! It's a good little treat for us. If you don't go here at least once, then you're missing out.

On our way to Chino Bandido, we passed Two Hippies Beach House (photo: yelp.com/biz_photos/W537â€¦ ). Ever fans of Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burger, we screeched to a halt and piled on into the restaurant. Why would a couple of California-born-and-raised kids like my boyfriend and I want something from a "beach house" in the middle of the Sonoran Desert? We had faith in Two Hippies. Plus it's Baja-style, in the middle of Sonora-style country. Let's do this! The main entrees are tacos and hot dogs, with "burros" also being a dining option. Tacos run $3 apiece, but you can get three for $6. Filling options are: red beef, green beef, carne asada, chicken, fish, cactus, pork, black bean, or pinto bean. Burros, which are actually pretty huge (we're talking original Green Burrito's Big Ed-sized), cost $6 and have the same filling options as tacos. Tacos and burros come with cabbage, onion, tomato, pinto beans, rice, and cheese. My boyfriend got a burro with green beef and could barely finish it. Hot dogs go for $3-5, they're all numbered and come with a bag of chips (though that's not mentioned on the menu). Just a regular hot dog on a bun is $3, but I felt the biggest bang for my buck was #4 -- pesto mayo, onion, tomato, feta cheese, and bacon for $4. Other hot dogs come with beef chili, jalapeno, guacamole, pinto beans, and the usual assortment of condiments. It was pretty good, especially at the price I paid for it. It's comparable to Pink's in Hollywood, actually (definitely better than the Knott's Berry Farm branch, I can tell you that right now). Our grub: yelp.com/biz_photos/W537â€¦ Just like Magic Mushroom, this Two Hippies restaurant sells flavored lemonade for $3 (there's a very long list of flavors taped to the counter). I'd previously tried Prickly Pear (Beach House calls it "Desert Pear") and LOVED it, but wanted to try something else. The nice guy taking our order then mentioned some combinations he and the other guys working there made up. I don't remember the names and combos of the others, but I got the one he called "Yummy in Your Tummy," which was a tropical blend of banana, kiwi, and other fruits, and it was GREAT. It came with an orange wedge inside and a little umbrella poked into the lid. My boyfriend got the cinnamon-flavored lemonade since it sounded so out there, and it was actually pretty good. I would have expected it might have gotten spicy to drink after a while, but he says it didn't. Outside of lemonade, they've got Chai tea ($3) and cans of soda ($1). If you're not digging hots dogs, tacos, and burritos, the only other thing they got is a quesadilla ($3/cheese, $5/chicken with guac and sour cream). There's only patio seating since the lobby in front of the counter is so tight (packed mostly with random objects in keeping with the ambiance). It was a nice breezy day and Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" came on the loud speaker. Yeah, we definitely had a nice meal.

Gross. The carne asada tasted like dog food, and I think my fish was bad. I will never eat here again. (Sorry to the nice guy working behind the counter, I in no way blame you :)

I've been here numerous times, always for their hot dogs. Their hotdogs are great! Very unique combinations. I love the #4, 7 and 10. If you have your work badge on when you order, you get a free drink. Had I only ever had their hotdogs, this would be a 5 star review. However the past two times I went, I had Mexican food. A week ago I ordered the chicken quesadilla and most recently I ordered the carne asada burro. The chicken was well cooked, tender and moist, but it had obviously been boiled in water. Just water. Nothing else. No seasonings. And there was so much chicken (normally not a complaint) that I couldn't taste the cheese. The last visit was just a mess all around. My friend ordered the chicken burro and a large side of guacamole. The order comes out as usual, in a paper bag. Within a few seconds, we found that during the 10 ft walk to bring it out to us, two of the salsa contairs had opened and spilled everywhere. So everything had a coating of salsa on it. What a mess. But again, nothing was seasoned!! Neither the chicken or carne asada had any flavor to it. The guacamole was just mashed up avocado. No salt or pepper even! Big disappointment! Hotdogs - 5 stars Mexican Food - 1 star

I was lucky enough to meet up here with Christina P for lunch yesterday. The menu is currently the same as the other beach house with soft tacos, burritos and hot dogs. They are are planning to add tamales to the regular menu and we got to try a sample of pork tamale and it was tasty. I got the three tacos for $5 and a lemonade for $3. There are several flavors of lemonade but I got the plain. I got one each of fish, carne asada and chicken. They were all tasty and I tried some of both the green and red sauces on them. One thing I noticed is the meat didn't stand out on any of them and there was very little taste difference between the three. All the ingredients were fresh and there was nothing soggy. I thought the lemonade was good. They have only been open a week and of course the place is spotless. The two employees we dealt with were very pleasant. I always carry cash which is a good thing because that is all they take. There is an ATM in the lobby. I haven't been to their other location but I am told it is much smaller. Inside there were 5 2tops and some stools with a couple of tables outside too. The tables would seat 3 or 4 (cramped) so I think they should have a couple of additional chairs. Overall I see it as a good neighborhood place to grab a quick bite to eat but certainly not a destination

Dive, but what do you expect from a place run by hippies?! These guys serve up awesome tacos and burritos daily with a side of peace and happiness. Love these guys, support them!

So this place, Is a local fav for us. This shack goes through its spurt of being good and average but to be honest through our venture with this business we have never had an awful experience with the staff or the food, AND the price is soo affordable. You should go! Taco TUES IS pry the best day to go, for some reason I feel like in the winter this business puts its best self forward if you know what I mean. -BYOB-Yes, actually.

Cool dÃ©cor, mediocre food, eh-prices. I want to like it, really I do. Every time I leave Two Hippies I tell myself I probably should have ordered something else... But nope, still feels like an unskilled friend whipped something up real quick and poured cherry syrup in Minute Maid lemonade and called it gourmet. The food might taste better if the atmosphere and decor didn't get your hopes up. When you walk in to any of their locations you can't help to be excited about the possibility of falling in love with another trendy downtown restaurant, only to be disappointed. It's like a date with someone you met on Facebook who had a really interesting about me section and who's display picture portrayed them as a model, only to find out they're just average in real life.

Now we stand at a crossroads; perhaps a dilemma. Is it truly Mexican when it's not made by Mexicans? Is a taco a taco just because someone said it is? Or a burrito? The philosophies and debates of Mexican food can go on for hours. But I like to think of it like this: If it tastes good, who cares? This is the case with Two Hippies Beach House. Opened by the same Two Hippies, Andy and Jan Goldstein, who brought us Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burger, they use words like tacos and burritos but never actually say they serve Mexican food. What they do serve is an accessible, mostly delicious, well-priced menu. Really, any three tacos are $5, anytime! If you've ever been to some of the surf shacks in San Diego, you'll notice it's like they picked one up and dropped it on the corner of Camelback Road and 5th Street Ã¢â‚¬" sans the sand of course. In true Two Hippies fashion, every square inch of this small establishment is absolutely covered with kitsch of all kinds; such blissful tackiness. The front is about the size of a postage stamp, barely enough room to stand after ordering at the counter. Once your order is ready, they call out your name. You can take your stash home or go around back and pull up a picnic table. While you wait, take in all the decorations, though if you have some condition of OCD, you might have a problem with the clutter and want to start arranging and organizing. I had to put my hands under my seat so as not to give in to my secret urges. The emphasis on the menu is tacos, as well as the hot dogs and lemonades. Two Hippies also can make any of the taco flavors into a burrito like the Red Beef ($5). The burritos are massive. If I had to guess, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d say they probably are close to a pound. They are loaded with tender red chile beef, rice and beans, and they fill you up big time. The Cheese Crisp with Chicken ($4.50) is also huge and fully packed with tender chicken, onion, guacamole, tomato and cabbage. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s much lighter than the burrito but still very filling. On another other visit I stuck with the tacos, ordering up the Taco 3 Pack ($5) and choosing fish, cactus and chicken. These tacos are massive, like all the food at Two Hippies. YouÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll never leave hungry. Interestingly, Two Hippies does not use corn tortillas, opting instead for the medium sized flour variety. I'm always leery about ordering fish since we live hundreds of miles from the closest ocean, and on one visit my instincts were spot on. The fish was so strong I could only manage a few bites, even with the delicious red salsa it couldn't help that poor fish. Although another visit revealed the fish to be spot on, flaky and mild, so the fish taco could be a crap shoot. The chicken taco was a chicken taco, good with a nice balance of veggies and meat. However my favorite was the cactus taco, tender sliced cactus topped with cabbage, onion, tomato, rice, beans and cilantro. The cactus had a delicate sweet flavor and with so many textures was a delight to chow. Beach House also serves up several different topped all beef hot dogs. I had the pleasure of trying the No. 6 ($3.75), which is pretty much the kitchen sink model. A soft squishy bun covered with pinto beans, cheese, jalapeos, mustard, ketchup, mayo and guacamole. Whew, this is like the daddy of all hot dogs. I think this could have been even a plain dog and I would have loved it. I'm not sure where they get their hot dogs, but the meat in this one was just so tasty, the toppings only added to my pleasure. There are eight other hot dogs that also piqued my interest like the No. 4 ($4) that has feta, pesto-mayo, bacon, tomato and onion and the No. 8 ($3.75), which is covered simply in guacamole. I had forgotten how much I enjoy a good hot dog, look out Costco! With 16 base flavors, the lemonades ($3) are a great way to to complete your meal. They use shaved ice so it's almost like having a slushy Ã¢â‚¬" complete with a brain freeze if you don't take your time. You can also combine different flavors to come up with your own custom lemonade flavor. The fun part is trying your different creations. Cherry and raspberry were nice and tart, but one combo was even better, the strawberry and peach. For me this almost had a creaminess from the round flavor of the peaches, this could be my signature drink on any upcoming visits if there weren't so many other choices. Two Hippies Beach House does a pretty good job of bringing the walk-up taco shack to Central Phoenix, and it certainly entices all sorts of people. So if you decide to check this place out and you see a big bear stuffing his face with a yummy hot dog or one of the cactus tacos, please feel free to say hi.

I have to agree with a number of other Yelpers who have commented that the food is rather lackluster at Two Hippies. The restaurant itself is very cool...stepping inside to order and waiting on the side porch and or back porch for your food is for a moment like being transported to Venice Beach or Mission Beach in Cali. But alas visions of California soon recede (and you snap back to the the fact that...damn...I am still in Phoenix) once you eat the food here. The portions for the taco's and burros are large but oh so bland. I had to drench a vegetarian burro I ordered with green sauce to get any flavor and even then it was still a bland meal. There are much better taco and burrito shops in downtown Phoenix (La Condesa Taco Shop is best I have been at in Phoenix so far...have to do a review soon) so look around and don't get sucked into Two Hippies just for the scenery.

There used to be a time when I would have given Two Hippies five stars, but their prices have gone up and quality has gone down (only slightly) since then. I am still enamored with their carne asada and cactus tacos, as well as with their ginormous tortas. For the minimal price and speedy service, it is a huge step up on the scale of "Mexican Fast Food." (I'm writing this review with the thoughts that Two Hippies can be judged alongside Taco Bell, Berto's and Del Taco as a more-or-less Americanized fast-food taco joint.) If you understand portion sizing, the portions are perfect. A torta could easily be split between two people (at least, two young women who aren't voraciously hungry. Men, you could probably get your own and finish it.) Two tacos with your choice of main filling plus cabbage, beans and rice is enough to fill you up pretty well. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and high quality. The cabbage is crunchy, the hot sauce has a nice kick, and the beans are seasoned perfectly. If you're looking for a sweet treat to go with your tacos or torta, take a sip of the prickly pear lemonade that they offer, or buy one of their "special brownies."

I am really impressed by this small place with great flavor. Cool vibe and genuinely friendly folks working. I got 3 tacos chicken, red beef and fried fish to-go - it gets a bit toasty in Phoenix this time of year. Food was flavorful, fresh and delicious. It was my first real 5 star to-go experience. Highly recommended.

I have lived in AZ for the past 12 years and visited 8 numerous times a year for 8 years before that. In all of my dining out experiences, Two Hippies is hands down one of my favorite spots in AZ. The food is not ridiculously gourmet, but it is delicious and you CAN'T beat the price! How many places can you get a filling, tasty meal for less than $10? Two Hippies has and will be one of my all time favorites.

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to check out a Two Hippies joint for quite some time, but it's usually after we just ate somewhere else. Today, we were out running errands and got hungry so decided to come here. I'm glad we did! I had the pesto-mayo/feta/etc hot dog. It was delicious, and they put two dogs in a bun, so it's a ton of food. I've been jonesing for a good hot dog ever since Maui Dog closed, and this will probably be a good replacement for it! They throw in a little bag of chips too, I got regular Sun Chips, but my boyfriend stole them from me. I also had a frozen lemonade, with passionfruit. First taste and it reminded me of another thing I miss dearly, Fruitopia! My boyfriend had just a plain hot dog. He got ketchup and mustard for it too. He enjoyed it, but I think he secretly liked my dog better. He got FunYuns as his chip choice, but regretted it so I ended up eating them. All in all, $10 spent on a good amount of food. You can BYOB there too, which is awesome. I think next time we go we'll be bringing some kind of drank. :)

I love this place. It's everything I look for when searching for local food joint. It's a little hole in the wall place with phenomenal food. The place gives off a great vibe with all the random artwork and cool posters hanging around. The staff/owners are great people with a great taste in food. I was recommended their shrimp tacos; I tried them and I am in love. But their homemade green chili tacos are to die for. Great place, great people, and amazing food!!!

We stopped in on a Friday night. Ordered 2 chicken tacos and nachos to split. The chicken tacos are big and tasty, the only thing is the chicken doesn't seem to be seasoned at all. Plus it was a little dry. The nachos were pretty good, again the chicken was flavorless and dry but the cheese made up for it, they were yummy.

My primal food instincts failed me today! Or was it their bright, colorful sign that mislead me?! It said "outrageous" and the joint itself had distinctive designs from the 70s that stood out like a sore thumb in this hoody part of 16th St. I usually research a place before trying but this was a random stop by with a risk level of safe. How could you go wrong with Tacos and Burritos, right? Well, it wasn't all that terrible but at the same time it lacked authenticity by miles. The interior decor was exactly what you would expect from a pot smoking hippie with posters of Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, and Bob Marley plastered literally every inch of the neon green interior walls and ceiling. I very much appreciated all the colorful details that was incorporated to express the character of the establishment. The design department deserved 5-stars for sure! Coming here, I was a bit hungry so I opted for their 3-pack tacos. Of the six toppings or so, I went with their Green Beef, Carne Asada, and Fish. The key attribute about their Tacos is their enormous size. As I was picking my order up, I seriously thought I was carrying back THREE burritos! I was overwhelmed with each taco as they were HEAVILY packed with chilled, diced cabbage and tomatoes. It was a one-to-three ratio of meat to vegetables, which explains the size and weight, right? They packed a fork and knife but I ate it true street style via hand. My eating experience was just a complete mess, literally. The abnormally massive size could not compensate for the quality. The shredded Green Beef was a little dry with simple Mexican flavors. I was hoping the Carne Asada would save the day, but still fell short. The tortilla was nothing special. It had a generic store taste to it than of an authentic hand made. I cannot review the Fish right now, as I took it back with me on the road. I was too full from the bland, uncreative flavors that one would have expected otherwise.

What a nice little treat . We stopped by the "Shack" to give the Hippies a try. We instantly enjoyed the decor and feel of the place. Quaintness abounds, funky posters, kitschy knick knacks and bright colors give it a groovy feel. While not someplace I would bring the whole family this is a good place to stop for a quick bite or a snack. This is not a sit down eating establishment , you go in place your order ( try the three taco combo) and then wait outside. There are picnic tables , stools and pub stools around the outside to sit at. It was a clear beautiful day so very nice. The hubby and I tried pork, chicken and beef tacos which were all fresh and tasty.Tacos and burritos were on fresh flour tortillas and had cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce and great spices. My husband also ordered a fish burrito which was ginormous and he swore it was over a pound . We also got cans of soda and ate all this for 11.00 not bad. No soda on tap. I must mention that the owner( ?) made us feel right at home and was super nice and even funny. His attitude was a big plus and made the eating more enjoyable. It was easy to see he enjoys his work .

Solid joint. Grabbed some green pork tacos for lunch and I was pretty happy with both the quality and portions. The preparation is simple and fresh, not overloaded with crap like some other taco joints. Ask for the green tomatillo salsa, its very good and went great with the green pork. My friends got burritos which were huge and a few other items which all followed suit in terms of quality and size. I will definitely head back for lunch. Cash only but they do have an ATM inside if you forget

The food here is awesome. So are the prices. Chad whom I see working there quite often is a pleasure to speak with and gets our food out quick! And who can forget the decor!? Quite busy and gaudy but in a very appealing, hippie-type manner. Eat at Two Hippies!

Tara J.

This is my favorite place for tacos in Phoenix, and now that I've moved away, I really, really miss it! For just $5 you can get 3 tacos of your choice -- tasty and filling! My husband can eat all 3, but I barely make it through 2. The best part is that they use cabbage instead of lettuce, so it makes the whole taco less soggy and more crunchy (though it's made on a soft tortilla). The ONLY downside is that they accept cash only (but they do have an ATM machine inside). I'm a casual girl from the NW, so if you're looking for a casual locale, cheap but good tacos, homemade smoothies, and a beer, head over to Two Hippies. Best in town!

this is one of my favorite taco places. they have raised the price a little bit and reduced the size..which sucks. I always leave happy although my last visit I tried a crab taco that simply just didn't agree with me but my chicken and fish tacos...always delicious.

I had dinner Wednesday night at J&G Steakhouse and dinner Saturday at T-Cook's. In between, I had dinner at Two Hippies. I enjoyed a pork burrito stuffed with meat, cabbage, cheese, rice and beans. The burrito was huge and tasted great. It actually started to fall apart at the end because it was filled so full and that was all right with me. Including a can of coke, the total cost was $6. That was my cheapest dinner out last week by a mile!

I would love to love this place, support my local economy and all that Jazz but I just can't. The staff is always extremely friendly and I love the beach shack in the middle of Phoenix. Problem is, the food just isn't very good. The only thing more bland than the carne asada is the chicken. I've had mexican food in Minnesota and I'm pretty sure it had more character than this local gem. Sorry Two Hippies, you have a solid concept going but your menu needs a serious overhaul.

Well, I was gonna write a review of this DUMP but then I saw Aaron A's review and think it'd be better just to re-post his horrible review!!! (how's that for a first line of a review, Aaron A?) "... I would not step back in this place for a taco. Fatty pork is fine, if its cooked nicely, but this was not. Green beef was ok, as long as I piled the pretty good tomatillo salsa over it. The fish...let's leave it at ugh. If this is their specialty, it's over already. (no more lines waiting, I see that much...) "This is Sunnyslope, and with the authentic delicious taco and burrito choices around here, this place is only competing with the tacos across the street at Jack in the Box, and I would probably eat those before I'd touch another one of these, it was that bad for me. "SORRY HIPPIES. THIS WASN'T GOOD. IF YOU ARE GOING TO COME INTO A MEXICAN PART OF TOWN YOU'D BETTER BRING THE MEAT TO COMPETE. YOU ARE FAR OUTCLASSED IN TACOLAND." (Bold mine) "So, after some thought I decided rather than just pan the place, I'm giving suggestions: 1. use a paper or wax paper between the aluminum and taco, or you have a mess. 2. do something with that too cold cabbage/cheese/tomato 3. grill the fish and don't smother it / chop it up. make sure its fresh. 4. get a better cut of pork, go organic (maybe it is), season it better 5. keep the happy people in front, they were nice 6. don't blend your lemonade with ice, it was awful and too sweet 7. quit buying your chips at Costco, those round ones suck 8. do something with the guacamole, it was ok just being avocado and lime, but it was pureed. keep it chunky. 9. get more input from your mexican chefs, they probably know what is wrong 10. Both the red and green salsas were good, just need a taco to go with it" ------------ BE SURE TO LOOK FOR ALL THE FLIES THEY HAVE IN THE KITCHEN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. Ugh. HORRIBLE FOOD.

This place is so amazing, thier tacos are out of this world. my favorite is the fish and cactus taco, they do not have it on the menu, but fish and cactus are and they happily conjoin them. Thier fish is SO fresh, that if it was any fresher you would slap them.

The fish tacos are out of control, truly outrageous. The only thing lacking here is beer but you can bring your own if you choose.

3 tacos for $6 is a great deal considering how big the tacos were! They were not my most favorite tacos but definitely worth the occasional stop bye.

Dan S.

I'm a big fan of small, non-chain, family-owned Mexican places in buildings that look like they've been here since the 60s. This place was clean, the personnel were kind folks and when I sank my teeth into the red beef taco, I told my Dad it was the best taco I've eaten. TONS of meat, the sauce was yummy and very affordable all around. I ended up buying 6 more just to take home and freeze for later! The patio out back is awesome, however I'd love to also sit out in the front and watch humanity go by. So we sat in the car instead. I'll totally be back!

I tried the 3 tacos for $6 deal and ordered a soda in the can. Ordering was easy enough and I got my food pretty fast out the back window. I might not have known about the rear delivery system if I had not already wondered by it earlier. I received my tacos, but my soda was missing when they called my name. I mentioned it to very friendly lady that delivered my food and she promptly got it for me. I ordered a green meat, a red meat and a chicken taco. All three tacos came individually wrapped in foil and came in a brown paper bag. It also came with both green and red sauces. All three came with soft flour tortilla wrappings. I am not a fan of flour tortillas for tacos because I usually prefer the street style with corn tortillas. The tables also had El Pato Sauce and another hot sauce for your pleasure, although I am not sure they keep them refrigerated? The flavor, temperature, and the taste of the meat tacos were fine. I was surprised to find beans in all 3 tacos, but they added nice texture and flavor. The green and red meat tacos were pretty good, but did not stand out as something that I would crave on a Saturday night after a few brews. The chicken taco had huge cubes of white chicken meat. The chicken drowned out the other flavors in the taco (actually too much chicken). Overall, a pretty cool eclectic place that I would try again.

First time - and will not be our last!!!! Great fun vibe - felt like I was on vacation! The food was fantastic and the service was great as well. I understand its under new ownership - I hadn't been here before but the tacos I had were fresh, the homemade chips were perfect - overall great, casual, fun place to grab a quick bite to eat!

Store bought cheddar cheese on a fish taco? What is this? 1990's Des Moine? We've come too far as a dining public to have to put up with these conveniently concocted impostors. Also, the "Sonoran dog" was less Sonora and more hippie haberdashery. Both items, the fish taco and hot dog, were decent. It was just their bastardization of these two original classics that got to me. They were so far from the originals that they shouldn't have shared the same name. The place is alright, the prices reasonable, and the ambiance relaxed. A nice place to include in the lunch mix, given you work in the area.

A cup of Ice for $3! Are you Kiddin' me? Three tacos for $5 is a good deal! A can of Soda for $1 not a bad deal... But when you order the lemonade for $3, it's 95% crushed ice & comes with a cute little umbrella in the straw, well this part is a "rip off!" "Seriously! " I usually order differnt Tacos & they are good! All the ingredients are fresh...The fish, carne asada and chicken are my favorites. The green and red salsas are tasty. Also freshly made If I didn't feel so ripped off on the lemonade, & I've made this mistake several times, I would give this place Five Stars!

You and everyone else that I have given second chances to are very lucky, Two Hippies. Because there are no thirds in my book. As I like to say, two and you blew gots ter goo. So. My first try of your wares was on a Friday night after Bikram's (I wanted to try this thing that fellow yogi, Donald S. calls "retoxify") and I was not impressed with what I ordered, but I did achieve retoxification. The fish tacos were "fishy" and their wasn't much flavor going for them or the rice. Now, class may have been harsh that night, but the second time around at Two Hippies was WAY better. I had the burrito this time, with black beans and the green beef. Ho' yeah! That hit the spot, and I was plenty full and happy, no sides needed. And mama got her suga fix with those delish Shirley Temples they have. It was so sweet I had to get a refill. Mmmph! Service was great both times, so no complaints about that! I love the look and feel of Two Hippies. It is like TGIF on all sorts of hallucinogenic drugs. Last night, Rada and I were looking all about as we waited on our food. Somehow we started comparing the cacti in the planters to penis sizes of my *ahem* men. So if you are one of those men, and ever read this review, which I highly doubt you will, there has been a cactus categorized as the size of your member out there in those potters someplace... But seriously, this place is so quirky! I look like I belong in here (picture to follow soon), I did grow up near the Haight-Ashbury, something probably rubbed off on me at some point, no? Have you ever seen how I dress when I'm not at an OYE? Distinctly Grunge-Bohemianish. And this is why I purposely don't let you see me outside of said events...

If Castle boutique and camelback were not at the front door I would have never known that I was in Phoenix. Seems like something right out of Baja. This place reminds me of some of the dive places that I have been in Mexico on the beach. So if you are looking for Fast Food at reasonable prices that tastes great you should check it our. Best part is that you don't need the Imodium after the meal like in Mexico. The day that I went had a green chicken taco special and I hope that stays one the menu. I liked it much better then the bean and cheese or carne asada taco. They also have a great selection of lemonade with flavors that I have never heard. Make sure to bring cash... that is all they take!

So much hype for such terrible results. Tacos were incredibly soggy, they had a lot of mismatched sauces that didn't compliment anything, and all of their meat is flavorless. Three tacos for 6 bucks is a deal, but I would rather go to Tacobell and get something crunchy and at least seasoned appropriately for the money. Not a lot of vegetarian options unless you like eating straight up cheese. Seriously, I would never go back.

This place was really not that good. I was sad...I was hoping for something delicious and spicy and authentic - being that the decor was hip and the location convenient. The price was good.

This is the kind of fun and funky place that you just want to like. Tiny, so going at unusual times (like later at night) is a bonus to get a seat. They seem to be known for their fish tacos, but that's probably my least favorite thing on the menu. The fish is peppered and not my taste. However, the pork taco was terrific! The kids had burritos with whole beans, great cabbage and tomatoes. YUM. And grape lemondade. Sounds a little weird, but it was very refreshing and makes you feel like a kid again :-) And with all the trippy decor, it's just part of the ride. Next time I'll try the hot dogs. Seriously - the guy behind us got a hot dog with feta and bacon!! Again, sounds a little wacky, but I can't find anything wrong with bacon and feta, so how wrong could they be on a hot dog?

it looked really interesting when i saw it, and the place we decided to go eat on a sunday was closed, so we went to try Beach house because it was right down the road. Upon getting there the place is really confusing, so after walking around it, we found the place to order, on the West side of the building. I got their chipotle pork burro special. It was huge but the majority of it was veggies and rice, i felt jacked. there was a real chipotle chili inside the burro so that was really cool the peach lemonade was delicious with lemon twists in it at as well. I'd come back but it isn't the best of mexican food i've had.

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with this place. I'd heard it was fantastic and when I arrived there was a long line of people waiting to get their order in...it must be good, right? I tried 3 tacos: Red Beef, Cactus with Cheese, Bean with Cheese. The Red Beef was probably the best one, but still not that great...it had some bite and the beef was tender, but it still could have been seasoned better. The cactus wasn't very good - it really wasn't seasoned and so it didn't have any flavor...at least the cactus wasn't overcooked. The bean and cheese was probably my least favorite since it really didn't taste like anything. I even tried one of their "Magic Brownies" (this one with cream cheese) and that wasn't very good either - it tasted like it had been wrapped in plastic and absorbed all those chemically plastic flavors...maybe it was older brownie? All the tacos arrived wrapped and they look kind of awkward and wet (because of the steam) and definitely messy when you try to eat them. Just overall, not very good...I'm sure there are a ton of places in Phoenix that have better, more flavorful food.

Go 2 hippies! Love the chicken quesadilla, well cooked and I will be back next weekend, while waiting for my child to finish piano lesson? Hungry for healthy....and great taste ...2 hippies, sssssooooooo worth it

Tabatha R.

My favorite thing about all of the Two Hippies restaurants is the lemonades. They are so fantastic. I love the beach house specifically because I love that I can sit outside on the eclectic deck and eat my tasty beach food. I love the chicken quesadillas here, I could probably eat about six of them in one sitting, just because they taste so darn good. The staff is awesome and funny. My advice, though: Do not come to this specific location on a school day around 3:00. All of the Xavier students are just getting out of school and SWAMP this place. It's already extremely crammed in the front of the building. Do not put yourself in a crammed building with 25 15-year old school girls... it is extremely hard to move.

I am embarrassed to admit that this was my first visit to Two Hippies. Horrible, I know. I'm happy to say that my experience went exactly as expected. The food was pretty tasty and the atmosphere was...well, it was very "Two Hippiesish". I liked the place. The green chicken taco was flavorful and delicious. The guy taking my order was helpful...especially considering I was a Two Hippies virgin. Our food came out quickly and we were in and out within half an hour. I will definitely be back to try it out again soon.

So I go out today to find the 2 Hippies magic mushroom and a client tells me there is another 2 Hippies, that just "popped up over night" WELL I had to try it. After driving by, I finally parked in the lot and took a survey of the building. 1. Nice outdoor patio 2. Clean and New 3. Small 4. Looked packed So I walk in and there was 3 patrons. 2 young guys and 1 US Senator. Yep that is right, a full fledged Senator. Don't ask who because I cannot remember. So the 3 people made the place looked packed. I told you it was small. I was greeted right away by the owner. He is a really nice guy who cares about the food he serves. We spoke about the recent call his wife received from DINERS DRIVE INS AND DIVES. She asked the caller to not pull her husbands leg, because he is a huge fan and it would be a thrill to be on the show. The DDD reviewers spotted 2 Hippies via YELP! She explained he has a 4 star rating and tons of reviews. He was unaware of Yelp but took it as a compliment. ( I bet he looks today) HI! The food is a healthy Mexican food menu. I sampled the taco trio of fish, beef and chicken. All 3 where wonderful, you sure can taste freshness. The favorite was the fish. $5 with a Coke. The other items are quesidillas, burritos, tacos, etc. I tried both the red and the green salsa. The red is boring and the green is good. Neither of them will make you burn your mouth. He is tweaking the salsa so be sure to rate it if it gets better. I will return when in the area FO SHO. Well the return was on 10-7-08. I had the taco trio constisting of green beef taco, carne asada taco and red chile taco. They were all good but the green was the best of the 3. The salsa needs a makeover. I was hoping for a better flavor this time. The green is good but sweet, the red is bad. Maybe a little "mexican" in it wouldn't be bad. Do not go here expecting greasy, gut buster, cheese covered everything MEXICAN food. Go here expecting a healthier, fresh tasting meal. The food is prepared by a fat white guy and cooked by a Mexican guy. (not that that matters, my mom-in-law makes killer mexican food and she is white)

I went here with a friend for some food to go and had a good experience. I got the pork torta and my friend got 3 tacos, one chicken, one fish, and one steak. My torta was okay, the pork seemed extremely salty though, i wouldn't order it again. My friend who got the tacos was more than pleased and stoked that they were baja style. He only ate 2 and i ate the steak one the next day which was still super delicious!

Think Dinty Moore canned roast beef...just like my mom used to make it for movie night at Town & Country's AMC. She'd make it with a can of Ortega diced green chilis, diced onions but this version adds cabbage and tomatoes. And all for $4. Love it. Before you go off on it, remember how much you're paying for this burro! Four bucks. You haven't had it this good since you had medium pizzas for "regular price, four bucks, four bucks, four bucks." I ordered the beans and rice on the side (they're normally served inside the burro), so I got to taste the sticky Spanish rice seasoned with chili powder on its own. The whole beans were pretty good too. Great as a side dish; so _glad_ I ordered them on the side. You can even take one of the bottles of habanero sauce to the table to impress and double dare your friends! I have to agree with others' comments on the "homemade" lemonade. Like the beef burro It also took me straight back to my childhood, remembering sugary (think corn syrupy) Freezees at Circle-K. Definitely not fresh (except for the wedge of lime which was dry) but oh so memorable. Don't forget the success of tiny Lenny's burgers at 15th Ave. Hippies pops at lunch being so close to the Brophy and Xavier campus. Great value, and location location location. I hope it's in the running for a permanent spot on the "square" (7th St to Ave, Camelback to McDowell). Yea! Can't wait to try their special shrooms at the other location.

My friend always wanted to try this Two Hippies. It was horrible. We did not get what we ordered, not sure what it was but we know what it wasn't. We ordered the special tea and when the guy brought it to us he said " we ran out", it was more expensive that the regular tea and we were not offered any kind of refund. Waste of time and money.

Blech. Had the fish tacos, they tasted of fish that had been bottom feeders that had been frozen, thawed, refrozen and then thawed again before cooking. i.e. mushy and not the best. They were cheap though....

Three mega tacos for five dollars cash. Yes. Get the fish...3 times.

This places goes a good job in terms of appearance; a colorful memorable place in the middle of a desert city. It really stands out on Camelback as a unique tourist stop and I've always wanted to stop by. Well, many visits later and with many other people. I really like coming here for the food and convenience of easy entrance and exit. I order the same tacos all the time. Although my food choise is very limited, it does taste consistent. The tacos are a bit on the salty side. The ingredients used are natural and a cabbage tasted like a cabbage; doesn't have any of those voodoo science chemicals or extenders or enhancers, like at those corporate chain places.... Each 2 Hippie Place in Phoenix seems to have it's own theme of in terms of menu focus; this place being Tacos and Mexican food and a very low price... This place's food offering does meet my expectation. A low key, relax place to enjoy your food. The product design of the place says it's ok to have food that is not the most spectacular. A salty taco is not a disappointment to me at a place like this, although it will be at a place like Ticos.... I like the fact that they have a very focused menu selection which I think is a strength for a business(like INNOut). If I wanted hamburgers, I can go their other "Hippy" spot a block way. But I like to see the place surprise me by possible making some improvements on their focused menu by refining their food taste. The place looks more slightly attractive than the food...Form over Function...

Okay, I'm a firm believer in three strikes you're out. I gave it two tries, but I couldn't even stomach a third time at this place. God!!!! I sooooooo wanted to love this little quirky place that reminded me of the beach stands in the few remaining un-yuppified beach towns in California. Well, the atmosphere is there, right down to the funny guys that work the place. Food is pretty much like music for me, I like all music and I like all food. I can pretty much find something good in every meal....but not so today. I take that back...the salsa verde was some of the best I have had. First try there....wet soggy flavorless fish tacos. This weekend, I sent my hubby down for a couple of burritos (recommended by yelp reviewers actually), I knew it was a gamble, and I wanted to be able to give a good review, so I picked something everyone said was consistently good. The green beef burrito. Hubby had a hot dog of some sort. Little had a bean, cheese and rice burrito. We were 0 for 0. My burrito....so cold the cheese didn't melt, so big it couldn't even fold and so wet the tortilla melted. I don't know if it was so disturbing to eat that I couldn't taste it, or if it just had none. My husband's hot dog grossed me out just at presentation. He started to make something else and I said, well at least try it, he did and he had to choke it down. Little has NEVER turned down a bean and cheese but she took one bite and never looked back. I want places like this to stick around so bad I'm tempted to print out these reviews and mail them to them. I'm on a bad review streak. Gotsta find some good eats soon, maybe Golden Buddah for lunch will turn me around!

I was out running errands when I got hungry and decided to take a shot on Two Hippies Beach House. I pulled in and almost hit a crack head who walked in front of my car with two Phoenix Police Officers as witnesses to this mishap. After waiting for said crack head to skitter away, I got out of my car and approached the line. One of the officers said to me "Good brakes!" Whew! For my lunch, I decided on a fish burro sans cilantro and a peach lemonade. I was thankful for the cash I had in my wallet as they do not accept plastic of any form. I only had to wait for about 5 minutes for my food to be done and I was on my way home. I unwrapped my burro and took a huge bite. Hmm... nothing too amazing, just ok. First off. I DISLIKE when restaurants don't warm the tortilla that they make burros with and yes, this Blatina can tell the difference. Second, the burro was FULL of cabbage and not a lot of fish. The salsa was good and flavorful so I used a lot of it to flavor the burro and it brought some good spice to the burro. Overall it was just ok. Nothing amazing and nothing I would crave. The real winner was the peach lemonade that comes in slushy form. Yum! I would visit Two Hippies again to try their other offerings. The price is good, and the food is ok.

Black bean taco. $2. Better than any/every burrito I've had in Manhattan since I moved, but not as good as some of the other hotspots here in the Phoenix metro area. We went before First Fridays, and the patio was super cute all lit up at the nighttime. Our server had a delightful conversation with us about Shark Week, which, you know. Good good stuff.

Wes N.

Seeing the word "hippies" in the restaurant name had me stoked, as them tree-huggin hippie types got to have some vegetarian food, right? Yep. I walked up to the lil window and asked about the veggie options, the guy behind the counter informed me that they have a cactus burrito and that it was one of his favorites. Score! Or so I thought... Upon receiving the large, heavily stuffed burrito, I bit in with high hopes. Those hopes quickly dissipated as I found that the innards of the burrito were primarly COLD. The cactus pieces were cold, the cheese wasn't melted at all. The only thing that had a bit of warmth were the beans, which weren't even hot, they were luke warm. Sorry guys, but a cold burrito isn't going to cut it. Make that cactus, beans and rice HOT in your burritos if you want some customers. Melt the friggin cheese in there, don't leave it ice cold.

I am actually writing a review for Two Hippies Magical Mushroom burgers... Yelp says it is closed..... it has reopened... with the original owners... I ate there on Saturday for the first time.... the food was fantastic... the service wonderful... the owner took great care of us..... the burgers and tater tots were delicious... i will return... i hope Yelp figures out it has reopened because you don't want to miss eating there....$6 for a burger, tater tots and drink... they have yummy toppings to choose from.... everything is fresh and piping hot... and they take credit cards... guess i will try this place next if it is as good as the burger place!

Rachael C.

I came in for a quick bite to eat after my sister told me they had good tacos and burritos and vegetarian-friendly. I thought I'd try a variety and order one fish, one cactus and one veggie/bean. First strike? I got attitude for a asking a few questions and asking that they leave the cheese and sour cream off. Then after ordering I realized they use flour tortilla (listed NO WHERE on the board) and asked that they use corn tortilla instead of their flour since I am gluten-free. Ok, whatever. I get it. I am complicated and so are my orders. This isn't new. Second strike? They were slower than hell! Their fish tacos were delicious. Oh so messy and oh so yummy. But the cactus tacos? It was just OK. And the black bean taco? Not so much. It was bland and dry. Maybe I just had high-expectations for a Taco joint in Phoenix? I'd try them again just for their fish tacos if I was nearby, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

Sunny Joy B.

I am a wee bit obsessed with here. Ive only eaten one thing and it's the fish taco. I eat one bc one is enough. One time I came very late right before closing and some of the rice was hard and I almost threw up but I still like this place.

Amber G.

I was disappointed in my last visit, I had the 3 tacos ( carne asada and red beef). The carne asada was really bad...tons of fat and grissle, I was only able to take 3 bites and I could not do no more. The red beef had good flavor, the problem was that the meat is cooked in a broth, so when they put it in the taco the whole tortilla was soaked and falling apart..I ended up having to pick at it with a fork. My husband had a carne asada burrito..again the meat was not good and he did not like the cabbage ..it looked old and tasted old. The service was solid and there are other things that I like about the place...but they need some quality control..who wants to eat fatty carne asada and soggy tacos??? Two hippies if you are out there reading this..please...address some of these issues, I really want to come back.

Wesley C.

Yuck. The chicken in my tacos was dry and tasteless. The lemonade was pricey and tasted like Countrytime powder. The people that were eating here apparently thought they were awesome, and I was not, so they gave me the stinkeye the entire time I was there. Came here on a friend's suggestion. Was definitely not impressed. Bad food, bad clientele...not coming back ever again.

David S.

I am a big fan of their Taco special - 3 for 6 bucks. Initially I was disappointed the first time I came here because they did not have fried tacos. I tried the chicken tacos and they were huge and I got full on one taco. Took two home and fried them in a pan later that night to reheat them. Fresh they are great, fried at home for left overs they ROCK! Fun decor and a real laid back atmosphere. I am just here for the winter so it was very comfy, in the summer it has to be hell as most their seating is outside. Don't miss this one, you cant cook this cheap! Great eats and very friendly staff.

I was out running a couple of errands last week and a friend called and suggested lunch at Two Outraged Hippies Taco's and Beach something:) I hadn't been to a Two Hippies for a couple of years...I think it was their burger joint...that one didn't make much of an impression on me either way :-I But I thought to myself...well, I like lunch:) And, I like taco's:) And I was a hippie of the first water back in my day (which, BTW, means that it's no longer "My Day", sadly:( But I'm not thrilled by Two Hippies taco's:( I got dos taco's...a chicken and a carne asada, along with a can of soda pop...the people taking my $5.00 cash were very nice (and they were trying to dress up like hippies or something, too!...too adorable for words:) I didn't get fish taco's...experience (the kind gained through trial and many, many errors)...has taught me that the only place that I really like to get fish tacos, is from one of the beach palapa's in Bahia de Navidad...where the panga's pull right up on the sand...the fishermen jump out and hand the cook in the palapa a red snapper or dorado or something else with fins...they clean it, cut it up, grill it, throw some lettuce and homemade salsa on it and it's a taco about 30 minutes after it quit swimming:) Those are pretty good fish taco's...esp. washed down with a cerveza or three:)...I don't remember the name of the place...probably "taco de playa" or something...just walk down the beach...you can't miss it:) 10 pesos each for the taco's, 25 pesos a pop for the cerveza...it's a very good deal:)...BTW, that doesn't include round-trip first class airfare or the Governors Suite at the Grand Bay:) No beach at 5th and Camelback:( But, I digress:) I liked the service and the price (and I really appreciate the staff trying to look like hippies for me...really...a blast from past:) I really didn't care for the food, itself...outrageous has a number of different connotations, depending on context...but I didn't find the taco's "outrageous" in any sense of the word:) Although nowhere near as bad as Skip & Jan's attempt at taco's, the hippies taco's leave more than a bit to be desired...the carne asada was dry, stringy, bland, and the salsa they give you in the little plastic cups didn't really improve things. So I tried the chicken taco and found it to be dry, stringy, bland, and the salsa they gave...! Hey wait a minute...did they just give me two of the same thing and try to call them something different?!?!?... That would be so like the hippies I knew back in the `60's and `70's:-)...always stoned, never quite sure what they were doing...so much fun to watch:) But no, they gave me carne asada and chicken...the taco's just looked and tasted very much alike (the chicken was somewhat whiter, but other than that...not much difference:( In Phoenix, a city with so many options for getting my taco fix, even the nostalgia for times long gone (and thankfully so...can you imagine a world in which all we want to do is sit around all day, get high, and make love...not war...where would we all be? :-) can't make up for these lackluster offerings:( There are tons of better taco shop's...many of which don't even require the plane ride and hotel stay:)

Bland, uninspired, mushy. I had 2 fish and 1 bean taco. The beans were good - the rest of the tacos, not so much! They were kind of slopped together. No fountain drinks - cans and bottles only. So much for being eco-friendly hippies.

I went in expecting a very nice fish taco, but the porridge/mush that passed for fish was fishy and nasty... how's that for the start of a review? Ok, the place is nicely enough furnished if you think a la chuy's or chipotle's metal furnishings but with more crap on the walls. It's clean, the people were pleasant and nice and the counter service fine. The wife ordered a hotdog, i'm sure she'll review that. I wasn't impressed. But let's get to the rest of the food. I ordered the 3 pack of tacos for $5. Ok price. Green beef, pork and fish. All of them came wrapped in aluminum foil with sticky but cold flour tortillas and the same mess of cabbage, tomato and white and yellow cheese. All were freezing cold which made the meat luke warmish. They were all a miss for me. I would not step back in this place for a taco. Fatty pork is fine, if its cooked nicely, but this was not. Green beef was ok, as long as I piled the pretty good tomatillo salsa over it. The fish...let's leave it at ugh. If this is their specialty, it's over already. This is Sunnyslope, and with the authentic delicious taco and burrito choices around here, this place is only competing with the tacos across the street at Jack in the Box, and I would probably eat those before I'd touch another one of these, it was that bad for me. Sorry, hippies. This wasn't good. If you are going to come into a Mexican part of town you'd better bring the meat to compete. You are far outclassed in taco land. So, after some thought I decided rather than just pan the place, I'm giving suggestions: 1. use a paper or wax paper between the aluminum and taco, or you have a mess. 2. do something with that too cold cabbage/cheese/tomato 3. grill the fish and don't smother it / chop it up. make sure its fresh. 4. get a better cut of pork, go organic (maybe it is), season it better 5. keep the happy people in front, they were nice 6. don't blend your lemonade with ice, it was awful and too sweet 7. quit buying your chips at Costco, those round ones suck 8. do something with the guacamole, it was ok just being avocado and lime, but it was pureed. keep it chunky. 9. get more input from your mexican chefs, they probably know what is wrong 10. Both the red and green salsas were good, just need a taco to go with it.

I love two hippies! The atmosphere is really chill and the food is always good. I always get the bean and cheese burrito minus the onions and its fantastic, it always falls apart at the end but great non the less. The staff have always been friendly to me and you can tell the boss appreciates his staff as well as his customers.

Delicious eclectic place where you are easily swept away by the cheesy music (Copacabana a la Barry Manillo was playing when we arrived) and yummy food. Ordered the fish burrito which was good and only made better with the salsa provided by Two Hippies. Make sure you bring cash... they are no longer taking credit cards at this place.

Not bad for a couple of white guys opening up a Mexican joint! I guess the words Mexican and joint back-to-back can be misleading! So I'll rephrase that with Hippie style restaurant with a hint of Mexican food. They definitely have Mexicans in the kitchen cooking so you can trust this place knows what they are doing at least! These Hippie are kinda smart :) The concept is different than what you would normally expect (but the name of this place should shine some light and give an environmental foreshadow) and the food is "far out, man!" Being Mexican myself, it's got my approval. The inside where you place your order gets crowded and is a small little area. The service is pretty good, they claim all the ingredients are "organic" and it does taste mighty yummy! Their fruit drinks are excellent too! The price is above average in comparison I think but bearable I guess. ***The Bafroom: GOOD LUCK if you find yourself having the urge to use the restroom for anything! This is an outdoor eating environment and I didn't see any restrooms anywhere so no review on this. If you can correct me on this and lead me to my ultimate destination, please do and I will update this at a later date. In the meantime, better have some wet naps or Purell to sanitize your hands if you're a germ freak!

I REALLY wanted to like this place. The cute cashier boy and the fun little stand was a great start; however, the tacos were another story. I ordered the fish taco and the carna asada taco with green chile. My tortillas were falling apart from the grease and from the large quantity of the meat, cheese, and cabbage. That was not too bad but the flavor or the tacos were just plain salty. So salty that I really couldn't enjoy the beef in my taco. I tried the fish taco and the fish was "sick" as in not well, and ill. That's what I call fish when they have this fishy smell that's beyond the normal fish smell. I know my fish, trust me (I'm Asian okay) and the fish in my taco was just not right. Granted the tacos were cheap and the quantity was large; however, I rather pay more and eat a fish taco that is "not sick."

I had the fish torta and it was decent - good flavor and a lot to eat. The atmosphere was nice - relaxing and laid back. Just what I was looking for the night I tried this place out. I recommend eating there.

If you have a longish lunch hour, go. I went around 5pm tonight and there was nobody in front of me. Took me 5 minutes to get my fish burrito (Thanks to Chris T for the recommendation!) It was HUGE and came with a little cup of two salsas: green and red. I cut it in half to enjoy the salsas separately. Filled to the brim with rice, cheese, beans and the fish and smothered in some sort of sauce, it was delicious! Service was super-friendly and everyone had a smile on their face and said "Amy, your fish burrito is ready!" I mean, the personalized service was great. Maybe hitting them at a slow hour was what did it. There is a little retail spot where you can get incense (they're hippies, get it???) and posters on the wall to peruse while waiting. I took mine home, but the patio is lovely. There's even a vintage bike parked out front with little baskets filled with potted plants. How adorable is that????

I'm writing this review today without having read any previous reviews of this place. I did not seek it out, rather stopped in for lunch today because my girlfriend had been here many times and suggested it. To start with, I don't throw 5 stars out there very often. Actually, I don't think anyone does. However, this place is such a little gem I believe that it deserves high marks for the service they offer. My girlfriend and I each got a chicken taco and a carne asada taco. Let me just say that the portions alone, for 2 bucks a pop, are more than average. Add on top of that, the fact that they come stacked with rice and beans and loads of cheese and you've got a great bargain. I will say that I did not enjoy the chicken taco quite as much as I did the carne asada, which means I will probably just stick with the latter in the future. I had the privilege of meeting the owner as he stopped by our table to talk with us a bit about some of the changes he's made (more shade on the patio, misting system, etc.) and the newest addition to his restaurants, a breakfast joint, which he says will open sometime in mid July 09 and seat around 100. This is good news, I think, because there is not much seating here or at his burger joint. And although, they have no problem packing them in, even during these hard times, he was very grateful to be doing so well and hoped to see us again. He was very pleasant to talk to and also very accessible. So let's talk about the service itself. You might think that a little dive place like this, selling $2 tacos (or 3 for $5) might just want to take your order and push you on through like cattle, trying to serve as many people as possible with very little personality or courtesy. That could not be further from reality here. The kid taking our order at the register apologized for blinking too much, saying that the grill was kicking out a little more smoke than usual. Another kid who brought our tacos outside to us was very polite, to the extent of saying thank you for coming and how they appreciate our business. Now c'mon, these are just kids. Usually you would expect quite the opposite but we felt very welcome. The menu consisted of all sorts of tacos, burritos and even hot dogs. It seems they had an extensive assortment of lemonades, as well but we chose sodas. Parking is limited. The order comes out very quickly and for all of this, I love this place and will be returning. It's great to have a restaurant like this that is locally owned, very easy on the wallet AND the food is delicious! I would encourage anyone to stop in and see for themselves. Maybe we'll see ya there!

If I could rate this place as a zero I would. I ordered a peach lemonade (the drink was tasty) and three fish tacos. From all the good reviews from this joint, it makes you wonder if people even have taste buds. The price was $5 and some change for the tacos, good portion size if you are hungry. But the fish tasted borderline foul, maybe they were trying to get rid of old fish. Don't know, definitely would not recommend. Be sure to bring the vomit bag if you order this dish. I hate to give a crappy opinion, but I was craving some good fish tacos hoping to find that diamond in the ruff. This is not....

This place always has such a long line during the lunch rush, I figured that must mean something. It does. It means it takes a long time for them to take your order. I don't get what all the long lines are about. I love the decor and the uniqueness of a beach fish taco stand in Phoenix, I really do. Especially since it's walking distance from my apartment. But one fish and one chicken taco later, I didn't get it. They tasted like tacos I could have made at home with tilapia, store bought cheese, and store bought shredded lettuce and tortillas. I was very disappointed. I haven't been back since. I'd be willing to go back to try one of their fruit smoothies which people do rave about, but not for the food by any means.

My fish tacos arrived in cold, store-bought, flour tortillas. Enough said.

Two Hippies. Mmmm. Gringo-tastic tacos in a tie-dyed universe. Chased by brownies. Get it? Hippies? Brownies? Why are no Mexicans eating here? No Jose in line behind me. No matter. Tacos are cheap. And lard-free. And you get them in brown bags like old school lunchtime. Memories. Green and red chili beef may harken Christmas but not as cheery. Something missing. But not too bad. Substantial portion size well appreciated. But chicken. Oh the chicken. So healthy. White meat. Bereft of evil saturated fats. But so bland. And dry. Just sitting there sad on a corn tortilla. But not to worry. Go out back, where a Transformer lies waiting among the pina colada umbrellas. For there, on a tray, Sriracha. Sriracha? Sriracha. Who eats Sriracha on tacos? I guess I do today. And so does half of the Phoenix Fire Department and real estate marketers Biff and Landon who look eerily like Lerner & Rowe. Venue: A beach shack. Like somewhere in OB. But not really. No beach here. Just miles of car dealerships. And second rate furniture stores. Therefore, kind of a lie. But I let that go. Also? An impossible destination for the westbound traveler at 4 in the afternoon. For eastbound drivers on Camelback are infinite. Beware. Or you will have long loud conversations with yourself in the center turn lane. So have a taco here. Or three. While The Byrds and Stealers Wheel provide you musical accompaniment. And feel good that your arteries are staying open. Felipe and Maria may not be sitting at the next table. But no worries. More brownies and lemonade for you. 3 stars.

Great food, great atmosphere, excellent service, and amazing prices -- what more could you ask for? You don't just dine at Two Hippies Beach House, you experience it. What are you waiting for..? Get to it, and while you're there, try out one of their delicious hot dogs or tacos, which are second to none!

Delicious cheap food. It is a "take-it-to-go" place so plan accordingly. The food is remarkably filling as well.

Sorry, don't agree with most of ya yelpers on this place. I wanted to stop by this place for awhile, so Sunday I took the trip down here to see what some of the fuss was all about. Cheap good food drew me in, and I'm a sucker for fish tacos. I drove up to this place thinking yes, this does look like a hippies house, with all the misc. crap placed all over the walls, ceilings and windows. I wouldn't say it had much of the beach vibe I think they were going for, or maybe it's just me, I have lived most of my life in San Diego and near the Beach, and most little beach shacks I've been to have a different vibe to them. On the board it said something like famous fish taco's or something like that. I thought oh yes then, got to try those.. I really don't know why I insist to challenge my gut feeling of "don't order the fish taco's, your in the middle of the freakin desert, there is no ocean for hundreds of miles", but no.. I had to order them. Taco's were cheap, like $2 a piece. The guy working at the counter that took our order was super friendly, he took the time to ask us how are day was going and what have we been up to and stuff. We waited about five minutes and our order was up. While waiting I was looking around at all the mess that was placed everywhere, and was wondering how this tied into there "theme". And I wonder how long it's been since this place has gotten a good scrub, or at least a dusting??? OK, our order was up, and we sat in the back on some picnic benches. It was hot, but they did have a huge fan that made it bearable to sit back there. We opened up our fish taco's and noticed, wow these are huge! They piled all sorts of stuff in there.. cabbage, rice, ton's of cheese, fish, some sort of secret sauce, all on a flour, kinda thick shell (taste like the mission brand). Grabbed the taco with both hands and bit into the taco. Blahhhh, it was the fish.. Oh man, the fish killed it.. taste so fishy and soggy it was gross. Next, don't ask me why I did it, but I thought I'd try it again. So I poured the red hot sauce they had given on it and tried it again.. Blahhhh, gross, gross, gross. The sauce didn't help at all. There sauce had no heat to it, and the fish was just as bad as the first bite. I had bought two taco's, and looked in back of me, and there were two guys in there 20's macking down on taco's, and I offered them our taco's we didn't eat. They said, no man.. where good. So I couldn't even give these away for free.. We drove off grossed out, and I had this fishy taste in my mouth for about 20 minutes before I had to stop and get something else to eat to get the taste out. Soda wasn't doing the trick. I remember saying to my husband in the car driving off, I don't feel good, I think I'm going to puke.. really my stomach hurt, and in no way do I have a sensitive stomach. Like others had said, I really did want to like this place, but no way I'll ever ever return. Sorry..

Well... I'm not sure what happened, or what is outrageous. Okay, the first time I visited this place... carne asada burrito was pretty tasty. The fish tacos, were... you know, fish tacos. Reasonably priced, reasonably good. Plus good drink. Good enough to make a visit #2, and bring a few people with me. HOWEVER, visit #2... I must say, it is not reasonable to have your salivary glands dry up after a bite of fish taco, or chicken taco. In sum... some items here are outrageously salted and give you outrageous high blood pressure. Oh, I'll give an additional star for the availability of sriracha.

OH Dos Hippies....how I wanted to love you sooo much. I'd been passing this place by due to the long lines around noon, and just biding my time until I too would get to taste the deliciousness. I should have waited longer..... I went in on a Friday around 4:30 and there was no line! I was so excited! I perused the simple menu and was delighted to find "Cactus Tacos". This is something I grew up eating, we called it 'nopales', and I'd never seen it on a taco menu. So I ordered two Cactus Tacos with no cheese. The very nice chick behind the counter said that the Cactus was prepared fresh daily and mixed with feta cheese. Okay, I'm not lactose intolarant, just watching calories, so I said that would be fine, just no extra cheese. She suggested I get three tacos, but I stuck with two, glad I did. I then paid $1.00 for a can of diet pepsi. $1.00!!!? Get fountain drinks, please. I waited less than 3 minutes to pick up my tacos from the patio window in the back and sat down amongst a bunch of happily chewing people. I was excited! The size of the tacos was great! I was really happy I only got two, b/c I wouldn't be able to fit in three. I also noticed that there was shredded cheddar on them, even though I'd asked for no extra cheese. I took off as much as I could and didn't think much about it. As I picked up the first taco, I thought, 'wow, these seem cold...omg, these *are* cold.' Who eats cold tacos? The nopales (prickly pear cactus) were ice cold. ice cold. The flour tortillas were also cold, the only thing that wasn't cold were the lukewarm pinto beans. Okay.. I'm half-mexican and will eat a lot of things in a tortilla, almost anything, but I have never been served cold nopales. Okay, I decided to give it a try, because I'm willing to try anything once. The first bite was crunchy and my intial thought was "holy crap they didn't clean the cactus of needles!" then I realized the crunchiness was merely from the *partially-cooked* rice that was in the taco. I opened up both tacos, scooped the uncooked rice out and finished them. I wanted to like this place so badly! Why, oh why couldn't you have been amazing?! I may be too forgiving, but I'm willing to go back and try one of their hot dogs....but give me some time......

This place had good yelp reviews so I was hopeful, but sorry the food is bad . The passionfruit lemonade was good except a bit sweet, I added some water in it when I got home. I got a fish taco, and a carne asada taco. The fish taco was really fishy, and was like the bottom greyish parts of the fish near the tail sorta thing, and the carne asada I just didn't enjoy the seasoning. I love cabbage in a taco, but not when it's real big and chunky i like it a fine mince. If you want to eat a good burrito/taco go to the taco stand in front of charlie's (gay cowboy bar at 7th Ave and Camelback).

I first noticed this place about 6 months ago and although I had no clue what it was, I knew it was good based on the crowds always gathered outside. When my friend called last week to tell me how great it was, I knew it was time. I met a friend there for lunch today and was very pleasantly surprised. It's a small place, with a chalkboard menu and lots of random decorations, but it's festive. I opted for the taco 3-pack for only $4.50 (can you say cheap?) and chose the Green Beef, Chicken, and Beans/Cheese. And yeah, there were a few flies around, but WTFC? Oh, and since I'm a big tap water drinker (read: cheapskate), I was happy to get a large cup of ice water at no additional charge. I walked to the rear of the building where i found 4 or 5 clean picnic tables under cover, and waited for my order, which took about 5 minutes, and was conveniently available for pickup on the rear patio, right next to my table. I also noticed the line out front was growing longer and longer. The bag of food was so heavy, I thought I had the wrong order. Inside, I found 3 hugely overstuffed tacos, each wrapped in foil, with easy-to-read identification stickers ("chicken", "green beef", "bean & cheese"). Not sure why, but this made me smile. The tacos were stuffed with plenty of meat, lots of cabbage!, freshly grated cheese, and tomatoes. There were a few cups of green and red salsa included in the bag, too. Everything was fresh and delicious. I especially liked the chicken taco (tasty chunks of white meat) and the bean & cheese (they threw in a little rice too, which was a nice touch). I went back to order a veggie burro to go for my brother, and he loved it. My only suggestion would be to offer whole wheat tortillas, as that would definitely complete the healthy package. As I left, I encountered the owner who was friendly and asked me how everything was. The bottom line? 3 delicious tacos for $4.50. Need I say more? I'll be back.

This joins my long list of places that I really want to love, but ... I love the atmosphere. I love what they SAY they stand for. I love the concept of two hippies dropping out and dropping back in as restaurateurs. What I don't love is the food. The chicken and fish tacos I had were bland. No flavoriing. Thank god they had hot sauce (not homemade, store bought) on the table to spice things up a bit. On a positive note, the prives were good and the salsa they serve with store-bought chips wasn't bad. And the lemonade (they were out of most flavors both times I visited) was good. But overall, maybe it's time for the hippies to clean up their act. Worry about the food a little more than the message.

David M.

Been to this place 3+ times, and I don't know another way to say it - This place is beautiful. If Two Hippies Tacos was a woman, I'd marry her. First timers: Get the 3 tacos for $5 deal (I highly recommend the fish tacos), sit out on the back patio on one of the painted picnic tables and indulge. Second timers, get a Carne Asada burrito. You'll thank me later.

Alex Z.

I was asked to go here for lunch about 4 years ago by a co-worker. I was sorta skeptical from the get go as I can be a little picky when it comes to latino/mexican cuisine. My initial reaction when I ordered a burrito was...pretty good. The really awesome part was the decor and really super friendly staff. They really seemed genuine to thank you for your business The second time I went I ordered thier fish tacos (minus the onion). OMG! Wow. Almost perfectly made tacos. Nice Chunky pieces of fish, and the lime is the extra mwah for these!. The sauce that's included is in perfect proportion, although I must say some days are better than others (too much vs too little) Now that I'm a fan...Fish Taco Friday at my work place with Two Hippies is the way to go!

Joseph S.

You can hear this owner talking karma to anyone who will listen. Well, I've got karma for you: Revo Burrito, over by Zen 32. They seemed to have stolen the whole Two Hippies menu, right down to the flavored lemonades but-and get this-Revo Burrito had the inisght to include AIR CONDITIONING! Why would Two Hippies expect business to grow when its 115 degrees out? Answer: it didn't and now they've got some real competition. And I saw American Burrito gonna open up on 7th Ave. Two Hippies was overrated to begin with and now they've gotta slug it out with people doing the same thing, the same menu...only better! Stay away from this dump.

I will keep this one short. Value: Great. (lots of food for the moo la...wait is that how you spell it?) Atmosphere: Ummm...interesting place. But cheaply put together. Quality: Ho hum. The food was fine...but nothing special. Very plain. Service: Well not much in the way of service...order and the window and get out of the way. Not my favorite but worth the visit.

Jumped out of dead stop traffic on a whim. A lot of thought went into the decor both inside and out. I'm certain it helps for walk in traffic. Nice guy at the counter was friendly and talked up the food in a non-salesman like way. Normally I shy away from Carne Asade unless I know the place, but this cat talked me into it. The green Chile Carne Asade is not to be missed. Obvious marinated in Chile's, not dressed in them after the fact. Well done I say! Got 3 huge tacos for $5 and 2 waters for a buck a piece. Great deal/ good ambiance/ friendly knowledge staff. If you're in the neighborhood check it out.

J P.

I had to check out the place since it looked like a classic taco shack you'd find in Mexico. Fish taco was no good, cactus taco was decent, pinto bean taco, meh. Salsa could have changed the game, but it was blah as well. I'd give it 4 for ambiance, but wouldn't go back.

Justine H.

Torta is amazing! Quaint location that you'd miss if you weren't looking. I used to drive past it all the time and didn't know it was there until I was looking up places to east on Yelp! Really fresh ingredients! Wish they weren't out of the blood orange lemonade, but the acai lemonade was really good too!

Chris T.

I've heard of the Magic Mushroom joint, but this came at me out of left field. I decided to hit this shack with a work bud of mine (Groovy P.) to check it out. The first thing I noticed (other than the wonderfully tacky decor) was the decent prices. Tacos are $1.50 each (tax included). I went with the Burro. Honestly If they would have named the place Two Hippies and a Burro, I would have enjoyed myself more. But Beachhouse is fine too, I guess. The guy taking orders is the owner himself. He owns the Magic Mushroom place down on Indian School too. I think its refreshing to have the owner taking orders. Owners know how to do it right! He asked me my first name and scribbled it onto a brown bag. NOW I'm diggin this place! He was calling regulars up with nicknames like Snowman Steve, and Sarge. I wanna be a regular to find out what awesome alter-persona he labels me. Knowing my luck, he'd name me Conehead Chris or Corporate Chris or something else I wouldn't like. I wanna be Snowball Steve! The wait was long. 25 minutes long! Standing around staring at other people waiting. *Check watch* shuffle feet *Check watch*... Then I hear "CHRIS!!! PATIO PICKUP!" Wtf?!?! Wheres the patio? So I get my food and scarf it down. Carne Asada... not spiced for a typical burrito... Cabbage??? To say the least, it was pretty damn good. For $4, you can't go wrong! Next time I'll just get 2 tacos... I'll be back, Mr. Hippy...

Ran across this place while running errands today. I felt like I was in Newport Beach or something. Got the 3-pack tacos for $5: what a deal! The owner, Andy, came out to welcome us and ask how everything was. Very friendly guy, and funky little neighborhood place. They use mostly AZ products and try to go organic for their produce which is a big plus. Check it out if you head over that way.

Angela J.

This place was fairly good, I have eaten there a few times and have learned the pork tacos are the best!!!! I have also had the fish not a big fan, loved the hot sauce was good. While the food is ok, with a great price this is not what I envisions a taco. But the idea of eating organic is great. This is not your regular taco joint.

Finally stopped by the 2 hippies taco shack and brought a 3-pack back to work. Glad I did, with some remarks. Just a little walk-in shed for take-out and some minimal seating in and out. Beautiful day, so the wait was nice. I got a chicken, a green chile beef and a pork. All of the tacos have abundant fresh cabbage, whole pintos (!), rice and cheese. But also plenty of meat. The tortillas are fresh and chewy and just the right thickness. No Carolina's here, but pretty good. The chicken, unfortunately, is grilled, chopped chicken breast. I'm not a fan of that, but if you are, you would likely dig it. I like tender flavorful dark meat. Be cool if dark was an option, but I doubt they're cooking whole chickens. Prolly just breasts. Ate about 2 bites. The pork was very tender and flavorful. Lacked the crispy edges of a true carnitas-style. Maybe you get lucky sometimes and catch some edges. I ate the whole thing and enjoyed every bite. The green chile beef had delicious, lean chunks of tender beef. Unlike any green chile I've had. More vinegary, like a Southern pork shoulder. Lacked any punch, although the girl said the green was spicier than the red...? Was pretty tasty, but I really didn't feel like I was eating Mexican food. I didn't get a burro, but since the fillings were the same, I'm pretty sure it's just more of the same, in a different shape. I would try the red chile next time, and skip the chicken. Wanted to try the fish, but it's not fried. I like my fish tacos like I like my hippie chicks: hot and crunchy. The food is more of a 3, but 4 stars for being there, being cool, being fresh tasting. And 4 or 5 for the value - I think myself and another light eater could split the 3-pack, making lunch about $2.25! Ultimately, this is to Mexican Food what Pita Jungle is to Mediterranean/Middle Eastern. It's really not Mexican, but it is tasty. Like Cali beach food. I wish Yelp could do "half stars". Solid 3.5. But I round up because that's how I roll.

Kalen R.

I like what the Two Hippies brand is trying to do. Bring a local chain of food at a great price point. The problem is, they aren't killing it on the product. If you want to have a dumpy location, with nowhere to sit, and a decent concept, the food better be damn good. There is no place to sit inside, so I am not sure how this place will make it through the winter. The food is ok. Its not terrible, but it doesn't even compare to another mid-town taco shop (America's). I'm not going to argue if I am taken here, but I will definitely suggest America's over this establishment in a heart beat, even though Two Hippies is closer to both work and home.

Elizabeth A.

I tried Hippie's with 2 of my coworkers today and thought it was pretty good. First, for $1.50 a taco, you can't beat it as each of them weighs about a pound each! I tried a pork and a daily special of green chili shredded beef. The pork was better than the beef and both could have used a little seasoning, but I am stuffed! I liked the cabbage, rice, pinto bean mix in the taco along with the 2 choices of salsa and thank goodness for all the napkins as these are messy! It is quite busy at lunch so it can be a bit of a wait to get your food. But compared to other little lunch haunts, this one actually had enough parking and seating to accommodate all the customers. They also serve different flavored lemonades (blood orange, watermelon etc) which I will be trying next time I come here. All in all, a solid 3 stars!

Lunch at Two Hippies Beach House can turn a Monday into a fun-day. I discover something new every time I go - like the Village People album covers, bumper stickers, action figures and list of 10 worst rock songs. I love going for lunch and getting a couple of tacos and sharing and order of chips and salsa. The tacos (and burritos) come with pinto beans, cheese, rice, cabbage, tomatoes, onions and a wedge of lime, but nobody squawks when you place a special order. (Big surprise, I 86 the tomatoes.) I've tried the fish, chicken, pork and carne asada tacos, and I think the fish are my favorite while the pork are a close second. The chips are store bought but the salsa makes it worth it. BTW, the tacos are cheap - $2 each. Their flavored lemonade is the bomb! I think I look for people to meet me there for lunch just so that I can get the blackberry lemonade. Pomegranate and raspberry are pretty tasty, too. One of these days I need to try the red chili beef burrito...which gives me an excuse to go back. I recommend carpooling if you're going for lunch. Parking is limited and the place gets busy quickly. They turn the food around fast, and you can always call ahead for a pick up order.

William C.

All of my co-workers raved about this place and I finally had the opportunity to try it at lunch. Wow, this was the most amazing burrito I have ever had. For me, the flavor was out of this world. There are other chain restaurants that make burritos that should shudder. This place rocks. I have only been two times and am entirely hooked. the green pork burrito is my favorite so far. One piece of advice, if you plan on stopping in for your lunch break (12 p.m.), I would order in advance to save you time in line and waiting for your order. Seating is all outside, Beach House says it all.

Jeff M.

This place is special! Okay, you have to know the password to get in. The guy at the door doesn't remember what it is, but if you promise not to rat him out and talk about your interest in herbal medicine or massage therapy, you're probably good. They're going to ask you if you're a cop, just keep saying no. Six or seven times seems to do the trick. The fish tacos are outstanding and, appropriately enough, baked (not fried). Carne asada is very tasty. Generous portions, cheap eats, humble digs, super-friendly proprietor, improbable number of teen employees behind the counter. Non-wimpy salsa. BYOB if you want to eat on the patio. Funky little shack, man.

One would think that finding vegetarian friendly Mexican food would be easy in a major metropolitan. One would be wrong. I was pleasantly surprised that Two Hippies Beach House Outrageous Tacos and Burritos caters to vegetarians, in its very modest selection of items. The menu only has a handful of items, and that three items were vegetarian friendly was a plus. I recently ate at this small restaurant and was able to enjoy a bean and cheese burrito. The pinto beans were free from lard and the rice was free from chicken broth. The vegetables were organic, which is also a plus. Inside the burrito, were beans, cheese, rice, cabbage, tomatoes, and onions. The burrito was quite good. Salsa was also included on the side, but it was only okay. Truth be told, the burrito was flavorful enough without the salsa. The other vegetarian items available were a cheese crisp and bean and cheese tacos. The prices were quite reasonable. For two vegetarians, we were able to eat for $14, which included a fantastic slushy lemonade, coke, and side of rice.

I finally wound up at Two Hippies for tacos the other day after living within a stone's throw for a few months. Whenever I go to a place for tacos, I'm expecting one of two things... either mass quantities of grub on the cheap or in-your-face quality and flavor. Two Hippies Beach House takes care of the former. The service was friendly, and the chow is okay, not bad, but not outstanding in the slightest. It's truly perfect as a quick and filling meal that you can mow down with a few friends before going out to the bar or for when you are getting back from the bar. And that, to me, has it's own special place in the restaurant food chain. For $5 flat I can walk away with three giant tacos loaded with plenty of ruffage to extinguish my appetite. Throw in some green salsa with those tacos and I'm content. There's no doubt that I'll be back soon enough.

After leaving Sack's Cafe at 3:30 (23rd ave & Camelback), I have just enough time to skate over the extra five blocks to Two Hippies Beach House before I have to be to my other place of employment, Practical Art near Central & Camelback. I ate at THBH two days ago and I've been plotting how many times I can make this excursion each week since. It's SO good. Managing the cafe, I've learned a lot about food cost margins, and I saw another Yelper mention this in relation to THBH's pricing ($2 loaded tacos!). And YES, we all need to eat here en masse and buy in BULK so this place can stay profitable enough to feed me! And why shouldn't we?? This place has delicious food-- all muy fresca! I ordered two tacos, a Cactus Taco and their daily special-- Artichoke & Black Bean. For some reason, I half expected them to be in corn tortillas, but I wasn't disappointed when I realized that they actually came in 6" flour tortillas. These things were stuffed to the gills, so they were a bit messy-- but I managed to very diligently get most of the food into my mouth. I can accomplish a lot when I'm focused. I ordered a blackberry lemonade to accompany my tacos, which was sweet, but tasty. I think this is a great 'schtick' for the Beach House-- lemonade in something like a dozen flavors. These folks are right on point thematically with everything they've put together here-- I've seen a few places go under for trying to encompass too many modalities. To tie a bow on it, FINALLY a place that proves buying local and healthy doesn't mean breaking the bank. Heart these hippies.

Now a days you would be hard pressed to find a decent meal for $5 that was actually edible. While fast food joints continue to feed the nation processed garbage Two Hippies stands out from the crowd with their large portions, organic veggies, and fresh natural meats. On top of that, the staff has been nothing but helpful, friendly and really makes you feel like family. Brandon actually takes the time to make sure my tacos are made correctly on a daily basis. If it is Monday through Friday, you can usually catch me here. Also as far as vegetarian options go, the black bean taco or burrito with rice is probably my favorite. The daily specials are a hit as well. Can't lose with Two Hippies! Much love guys! Tony

I live locally, and have driven by this surf shack hundreds of times. I found myself really hungry after work, and, feeling bored of the usual haunts, decided to finally give Two Hippies a try. I got a heavy brown paper sack full of bulging fish tacos, and a side of chips and salsa. The fish tacos were juicy and very tasty - solidly good, yet nothing that blasted-me-out-of-the-water good. I think the value is what is most noticeable: $5 gets you three tacos with stuffings of your choice. I was very happy, and think that even Rubio's could go toe-to-toe (I may even prefer Rubio's fish tacos to Two Hippies). Check it out, and you'll get a tasty meal for dirt cheap. The success of Two Hippies is evident by their recent boon: I think they're opening two more places (pizza and a breakfast joint), to add to their local empire. I'm interested to check them out, and hope they are as good at the tacos at their surf shack on Camelback.

Lunch at Two Hippies today. This is a 4 star with comments. 1) 5 stars for small business, new ventures, private companies. It isn't easy, been there and done it. 2) 4 Stars for location. Perfect location, very fun. No bathroom? Not even a place to wash the salsa off your hands? If it is there I didn't find it. 3) 4 stars for food: Great Green chile beef burrito. But it was a "busy" like I could get at a chain store. Why do we have to have rice and beens in everything? Carbs yuk. 2) 1 star for No Ice Tea. No Ice Tea? Will go back this week for sure.

$1.50 TACOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yum! This place was recommended to us by a local. We asked where to get a good cheap taco and this place hit the nail on the head. Two hippies are on the right track with this place. It's a bit small and it took about 20 min to get my food (they were really busy) but it was worth it. If I lived in Phoenix I would come here daily. A word about the fish tacos...they are good but seem as though they might use canned fish instead of fresh grilled chunks like most places. Considering the price this is acceptable! The drinks and baked goods looked great though I haven't yet tried any. I'll save those for next time I'm in town.

...And I'll Tell U Y.

I hate to say it, but this is some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Edible? Sure. Mexican? Not a chance. My hopes were high; with a name like "Two Hippies," I thought it would be a funky little place that served addictive street tacos... (I've never actually had *authentic* street tacos, but I KNOW they're not supposed to taste like THAT.) My friend tried the three taco combo; one carne asada, one green chili, and one fish taco - all on the low end of mediocre (though she couldn't even stomach the fish taco). My burrito tasted like they wrapped bland beans, rice-a-roni, boiled chicken breast, and one ton of chopped onions inside a Mission tortilla. Don't get me started on the chips and salsa either... Mission and Pace for sure... The horrible part about all this is that the service was REALLY wonderful! I think it was one of the owners who served me, and it was probably one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had service-wise. She had a distinct Midwestern charm; unfortunately, that's also what the "Mexican" food at Two Hippies suffers (severely) from. VERDICT: Go to Rosita's or Juan's instead... (In response to Bryan L's callout: 1) Yes, I'd take Bertos [or ROSITAS, or JUANS, or Chipotle] anyday over Two Hippies Beach House, and I'm not afraid to say it. And 2) Everybody [staff and kitchen] speaks English at Two Hippies because they're white as ghosts. It's like eating at a Chinese restaurant owned and run by Wisconsins. When English is NOT the primary language of an ethnic restaurateur, to me that's a wonderful sign.)

Loved this place! We're new to Phoenix and happened upon this restaurant by accident. We looked at the menu and decided to get the 3 tacos for $5.00 and a bottle of water for $6.00 total. Menu prices include tax and they accept cash only. I had 2 chicken tacos while my wife tried a fish taco. Included on each taco is: Beans, cheese, tomatoes, onions, shredded cabbage, rice, a choice of meat, which green sauce and red salsa on the side. These aren't tiny taco bell tacos. These things are huge and delicious! My wife loved her fish taco and the chicken tacos were also fantastic. We can't wait to go back. My only wish was that I had black beans on my tacos instead of pinto beans, but my wife looked at their menu online later and found that I could have requested them. A minor error I shall correct on our next visit.

Recession proof... Mothers come feed your kids, I'm unsure of the nutritional value but as it comes from hippies it should looks healthy, this place has serious value, friendly employees and in my case owner. I was steered towards the 3 pack and cheese crisp, which were both fantastic. The cheese crisp is more like a quesadilla and enough to feed 2. I'll be back many more times.

I used to love this place when it first opened but the quality is starting to fall a bit and the prices have gone up. It is still a fun place to go for food and chill. I take first dates there to see if they can "hang". It is my way of testing them. If they can't appreciate a good hole in the wall then they cannot hang with me.

Just tried Two Hippies Pita Shack, having noticed those bright pink and green neon lights along Camelback road. It was excellent, had 3 Pork tacos, chicken burrito (no beans), 1 cheese crisp and 1 brownie for $13.50.00 how does this place stay in business? Well they sure know how to feed the hippie soul and drive away the munchies. Inside there was tons of posters of hippie idols like Jim Morrison, Cheech and Chong, Beetles, etc, and tons of chachkas. Their Pork tacos were done just right and that food was pure joy, The lady behind the counter looked like 2nd or now 3rd generation hippy with a tie-dye-dead-heads style look. The guy cooking was obviously not hippie. But the place was cute, the food was great, and the price very hippie-reasonable--you rock "Two Hippies"!

It's always a good sign to see a line at a lunch spot. Tacos were pretty good, my least favorite of the ones I tried was the fish, not that is it wasnt good, just that there are others I prefer. Beans were just plain ole pinto beans. All in all a good stop with good food and the price is just right for lunch.

Stopped by today and got the fish, green chile, and red chile beef tacos. The fish was the best of the three--grilled white fish with a creamy sauce on a flour tortilla with cabbage, tomato cheese, and beans. I prefer grilled to fried fish tacos so this worked for me. The green chile and red chile shredded beef tacos were good, but I wanted to taste more of the chile sauces in each. Nice tender beef without the lardy taste that you get at some other Mexican food joints. The tacos tasted fresh and light, never heavy, and I didn't feel bloated or tired after I ate them like some Mexican food take-outs and restaurants. They were pretty big for $1.50; three filled me up. They've got 12 different kinds of lemonade, but I didn't order any drinks. I wish I had after I saw someone else's watermelon lemonade. I's not Barrio Cafe, but if you're looking for a fresh, light Mexican lunch that is a local alternative to Chipotle, La Salsa, and Baja Fresh, Two Hippies is the place. I'm a fan.

Fish tacos are delicious! I order mind with extra chipotle mayo and extra onions! Sooo delicious. My boy friend always orders the carne asada on corn tortillas, and he is never disappointed. We call ahead to ensure we're in and out in just a few mins. The brownies are so delicious, so worth the couple bucks! 3 for $5 is a great deal.

Ok I swear I tried to like this place first it took 25 min to get my three tacos and nachos then my nachos where soggy. The carne was dry and not flavorful, I then tried the fish Taco it tasted like cat food. I didn't eat a forth of my meal I lost my appetite.

Great Food served fast and cheerfully on a Sunday night in a town that pretty much rolls up the sidewalks at dusk. Alright, that's not very fair to Phoenix, I'm sure there is plenty to do in the wee hours of the night if you know where to look and I don't. Fortunately I noticed Two Hippies Beach House yesterday night and remembered it tonight when I wanted some good food, fast and cheap and fun. The prices are a solid value, four tacos, chips and salsa, mango lemonade and a bottled water, all for under $14. Plenty of food for two and very filling. Unfortunately they take cash only. Fortunately they have an ATM with a very reasonable dollar fifty service charge right in the building. Decor and atmosphere is fun and laid back. Outdoor seating is varied and if you can't find a comfy spot to sit and enjoy your food you are way to demanding. Four tacos, one Green Beef, one Cactus, one Chicken, and one Carne Asada, were all very tasty. I opted out of the cabbage they use in leu of lettuce (crispness factor) out of consideration for my somewhat picky tummy. The Carne Asada had some gristly and fatty pieces and was overly peppery but still palatable. The green salsa could use a bit more kick. And the chips were fine, nothing to write home about. Had a chance to speak with the owner since we closed the place down. Mo is a terrific guy who is more than happy to answer questions about his suppliers and general business philosophy as well as his life, family, hobbies and interests. We very much enjoyed talking with him and will check out the other restaurants in the group.

Great lunch spot. Tacos are good and cheap. Not your traditional mexican taco, more of refreshing americanized taco. They are always fresh and refreshing. My only complaint is often times they are too salty! If they could figure out the salt, I might give it four stars. Overall, a quick and easy lunch and you won't be disappointed.

Great 'street' tacos. After cruising around downtown, I decided to finally stop here for a quick dinner/snack. Three tacos and a lemonade came to $7.50. I ordered the Carne Asada, Pork and Fish tacos. I could only eat two at that time. I tried the pork and the fish. Both very good! The carne asada (several hours later) was also very good, and probably would have been great had it been fresh and warm. No frills, limited seating. The owner (??) Andy was super nice and chatty. I've driven by at lunch, and seen the place packed. Dinner last night was not the case. Food still seemed fresh, though. I will be back (wish they were open later, though) Just had lunch here again today! The fish tacos were actually better then I remember! The pork was also very good, juicy and tender. I was less impressed with the carne asada, though. Still, a good experience, and still highly recommended. They would get 5 stars if they had alcohol and were open later...

I live and work 2 blocks away, so the minute I saw the activity in the windows in preparation for opening I was excited. Having a cheap, tasty taco place that close was a dream. I've been here at least 15 times and haven't been disappointed, although some of the options are better then the others. The pork tacos have recently passed into the sublime category, the beefs are decent. The chicken is a decent, healthy option. Carne Asada is meh, and the fish taco is not nearly close to good ones that I have had. With that said they include organic cabbage and tomatoes which is a huge plus in my book. Their flavored lemonades range from fantastic to meh. The best part is 3 huge tacos are $4.50. While they may not be authentic, the healthy (non greasy, organic vegatables), cheap price, and super friendly owner make this place a once a week type spot.

Besides being a good taco/burrito/lemonade stand, THBH is imo the coolest club house on the block. It's chock-full of knickknacks, posters, and snarky signage that will keep you occupied while waiting for your order. I wasn't even bothered by the lingering smell of lavender incense, plenty of which to select from. I purchased opium and cherry. Nope, never gonna burn em; impulse buy. The side patio is a great spot to sit and munch on 2 dollar tacos while being windblown by industrial coolers and misting systems. I love it. Tonight's attraction, Poetry Slam, and man this was one slam jam. Note to self, take up ripping people to shreds by way of organized angry verbal release. Possible new found therapy. My mental first draft in play as a sit sipping on a paper parasol topped watermelon lemonade. In sum, I find one word that describes this jaunt, E-CLECTIC! Beats the heck out of drive-thru any day.

Well, when your expectations are about as low as they can be, it's easy to be pleasantly surprised. The other Two Hippies on 7th Ave in Melrose Plaza left such a bad taste that I couldn't bring myself to try this one. But eventually my longing to be on a beach in Mexico tempered with a bad economy drove me to try. It was good. Quite fun ambiance. I was glad I didn't go during a peak time because where you order is claustrophobic. But 3 tacos for $5 filled to the brim AND vegetarian options made it worth it. The biggest surprise was the free refill on the yummy fruit lemonades. $16 for 6 tacos, two lemonades (and refill), chips and salsa was a scream. As hungry as I was I couldn't finish all 3 tacos. Good stuff. The boys working were delightful!

Just ate there with the hubby. Will not be back. Ordered the 3 tacos for $5 thinking I'll get some great little street-style tacos. I should have known there would be a problem when I asked the girl at the counter if the chicken in the tacos was pollo asado and she looked at me like I was not from earth. Okay, is it shredded chicken? Um...it's marinated chicken. Okay, bypassing the marinated chicken tacos, I order two carne asada and one fish taco. The girl hands me a bag and I think it's someone else's order because it looks like three huge burritos in there. But it's mine. I open my first "carne asada" taco and it's just this sad excuse of a taco...horrible white flour tortilla, some bagged shredded cheese, 5 pinto beans and meat that in no way tastes like carne asada. It's fatty and lacks flavor. Gross. I move on to the fish taco, hey, they're famous for them. I take one bite and push it aside. I take a couple more bites because it's covered in a tasty sauce that tries to hide the nasty fishy flavor. I stop myself. Rubios does fish tacos better than this. My husband had the "pollo asado" sandwich which I would give three stars but wouldn't go back for. Next time we're looking for tacos or carne asada, we'll stick with America's Best Taco shop, thank you very much. And next time we eat at a Two Hippies concept, we'll go back to their burger joint.

ok, I still love the tacos and burritos from here, but now they don't take cash. still no iced tea and the patio area in the summer time is miserable. it will probably be a while before a I go here again, unless I actually have some cash on me, which is rare.

Mike N.

It's been about a year since I last dined here and things have changed and not necessarily for the better. My wife and I both remembered their burritos as quite enjoyable, with fresh tasty ingredients, sizable without being too much and properly assembled (which makes a big difference if you plan to not eat it with a fork and knife). Well this time, we were in for an awakening when we finally got our burritos (which took about 10 minutes for them to prepare on a not-so-busy afternoon). I ordered a simple bean and cheese burrito and my wife ordered the fish burrito. Both burritos were enormous, overstuffed and so poorly wrapped that after one bite, both our burritos fell apart revealing the inner contents to both be lukewarm with unmelted cheese and rather tasteless beans, rice, tons of cabbage and average at best tasting fish. In order to eat our meals, we had do scoop out at least half the contents in order to properly fold the bland tasting tortillas holding this mess together. Neither of us could fathom why Two Hippies hires cooks apparently residing in southern Arizona who don't seem to have a clue as to how a burrito is supposed to be wrapped so I suppose that is an achievement, The whole affair turned out to be a completely unsatisfying sloppy mess, and not one we are likely to repeat at any time soon. It should be stated in fairness that the counterperson who took our order was enthusiastic and friendly. And the specialty lemonade drinks were good.

I have been hearing about the Two Hippies brand for awhile now, but was never near one around a meal time. Now that my office is closer, I decided to try out the Mexican concept, because I love me some Mexican food! I was a bit overwhelmed when ordering, it is not that they have a large menu by any means, but it is up on a chalkboard above the register, and I felt the pressure to order quickly. It was not until after I ordered that I realized that they only took cash, and my wallet was filled with plastic! I told the guy I would go run to the bank, but he pointed to the ATM machine in the corner, so I felt obligated to go ahead and pay the fee to get my $5 burrito. I ordered the green chile beef, because I have been obsessed with that lately, and it also said that the burrito was served with rice, beans, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Before I could make my way around to the pick-up window my order was ready. I took my burrito back to my office and took a bite...it was good, but it was the green chile beef that I was expecting. It was just shredded beef that had been seasoned with green chiles, it was good, but really just tasted like shredded beef. The main issue I had with my burrito, other than it being the size of my head, was that it wasn't very hot. I could tell that they attempted to warm up the tortilla, but didn't give it enough time to fully heat through, making the tortilla a bit stiff and hard to keep wrapped around the filling. Another tell tale sign that it wasn't very hot? None of the cheese even thought about beginning to melt! I like it when the cheese starts to melt and blends in with all the other flavors, but nope, this cheese stayed in its purest unmelted form. I might give this place a try again, while I wasn't blown away, the price is right and I see that there could be hidden potential.

I made my second trip here over the weekend, though a little hesitant seeing as it was noon on a Saturday. The line was a little long, but moved suprisingly fast. The concept is great, and the prices are well worth what you get. Having just finished a hike I felt I could down a 3 pack for tacos ($4.50) and probably could have, but I cut myself off at 2 1/2. The tacos have a unique mix of cabbage, onion, beans, (and more) that may not sound like they go with a taco, but when all put together they do. The outdoor seating could be not so great come summer, but for now it's great and I will definately be back again!

This place is freakin phenomenal! I go there once a week sometimes. It is not necessarily close to my work, but my co-workers and I dont mind the drive!!! Their pork tacos are by far the best. Sometimes there are some random specials, and the chicken ones are ok. Besides, 5 bucks for 3 tacos? Yes please!

Truly not a great place for mexican food! The burritos were cold inside, cheese not melted and not wrapped correctly. Basically the goods were tossed in the middle of a tortilla and that was it. Yuck! Won't be going back!

stopped by this funky looking place around 6pm on a weeknight and no wait. ive wanted to stop here many times before but have avoided the twistingly long lines i see when i pass this place around lunch time. the people inside were very friendly and although quite a bit stuffy and small inside, i could dig it. they have a large enough outdoor area with misters and fans and a pick up window to get your food at. my friend and i each got the 3 tacos and a fruit slushie. i chose pear, and she chose raspberry guava. both were delicious and refreshing. the sign outside said "flavor of the day - strawberry margarita", and i was a little excited that they had margaritas but alas - no liquor license, so no cool, crisp, refreshing corona to wash down my tacos with either. the tacos are good size each, with plenty of delicious choices of meats/fillers to choose from. we both picked red beef, chicken, bean and cheese, and carne asada. the red beef was my favorite, with the carne asada a close second. skip the chicken, it tasted rather bland. the cabage was delicious and crisp and nice substitute for lettuce. each of our orders came with 3 salsas and 3 limes, absolutely essential for taco eating. i really enjoy two hippie's burgers and love their tacos. can't wait to go back.

This place is as great as everyone has already said!!! I almost drove right past it - and I am so happy that I didn't!! I love the look of the place!! My fiance and I each ordered a burrito and also got chips and salsa - all for $10.00! Great food and cheap prices - fan for life!!

I tried all of their meats, nothing too impressive. Their fish taco was pretty gross, and the pork was bland. I do, however, enjoy their veggie offerings. Always fresh and good. Green salsa is my fav. I am also nervous of a place that is FILLED with flies, and this place is BUZZING with them.... Seriously gross.

Craig G.

I've been reading and hearing a lot of good things about Dos Hippies Beach house and let me tell you, it was amazing. I got three tacos, chicken, pork & carne asada. All of them wrapped in a warm panini grilled style flour tortilla (corn if you want) and stuffed with fresh meat and organic vegies. Accompanying them was some salsa verde and regular red salsa, both were super flavorful and I assume home made. 3 tacos was too much for me but I devoured them all. The pork aka carnitas was my favorite. Next time I plan to try out their burritos or quesadillas. This is place is excellent and affordable. The scenery is cool, reminds me of a place I used to eat at in Ocean Beach when I lived in San Diego. It's a must try!!!!! Nice work Two Hippies...you've got something good going!

Well....I spend a lot of money on restaurants and eat at the best and the best dives. This one is close to the top of my list. It would get 5 stars if they had indoor eating, I froze my butt off but the food really warmed me up couple that with the price and you've got a real winner here. Communal tables make for interesting conversations. Fish Taco's were a disappointment, maybe because they are not fried...tasted too "fishy", not like Rubio's. Parking sucks but park down the street and walk, it's well worth it.

I've been handing out a lot of poor reviews lately, and I hate to be so negative, but this one really deserves it. Sure, there are plusses and minuses, but some of the important aspects were all minuses. I went in for dinner at about 6:30 and there wasn't a lot going on so I went in and ordered a red, green, and carne asada taco with a "lemonade." The girl behind the counter was boasting about their fresh squeezed "lemonade" and I like when it isn't canned mix so I ordered it. I went outside and got a seat on the counter looking into the building and after about 10 minutes they brought out my food. I was actually kind of amazed it took that long to make 3 tacos, but whatever, that was fine. The first taco, the red, was ok. Perhaps it was the fact that it was overloaded with beans, cabbage, and other mixtures of everything that usually is on your plate at a mexican restaurant, but I thought it didn't really have a flavor. The green was much of the same, no real flavor, but not a bad experience. They were both just "meh." Maybe now would be a good time to comment on that "lemonade." IT TASTED LIKE A FUCKING SLURPEE FROM 7-11. You have got to be kidding me if you are going to tell me this is a fresh squeezed lemonade. For ***** sake you even told put slurpee ice in it. I'm not buying it whatsoever, that this has ANY real lemon content. Ok, so now that final taco, the carne asada. I had high hopes since the other two were so bland I thought maybe it'd be harder to mess up carne asada, but I was wrong. It had absolutely no flavor, and had a horrid texture I don't know if the meat was overcooked or what but it tasted like a taco with beans and cardboard. I had to douse it in lime and hot sauce to make it edible, and still bearly was so, partly because the hot sauce they provide is not so tasty either. I didn't look for a restroom, but I imagine they have one, as they would never be allowed to build the restaurant without at least one public restroom. The entire concept of the restaurant is very cool, and I can see it being a good lunch spot during the winter months, if, and this is a big if.... they can get their food to taste like something delicious. And actually make lemonade. Guys, who are you trying to kid?

We took a trip on our lunch hour to grab some grub for work. I had the burrito special "Chicken Piccata". umm as long as I have lived, chicken piccata consists of: chicken breast cutlets, dredged in flour, browned, served with sauce of butter, lemon juice, capers, and stock or wine. Right? This was none of those things.. it was more like a chicken fajita burrito and bland at that. It was decent and hefty but Im sorry Baja Fresh blows this place out of the water.

I eat at the Beach House at least once a week. The fish tacos and carne asada tacos are my favorites, but I recommend checking the daily specials before ordering. The food is always hot and fresh, and the service always friendly.

Been there many times with many friends, not fancy food but decent, fresh, local, organic at a good price with none of the pretentions that one would associate with the whole organic/green mocvement in dining. That being said the food only gets 4 stars based on the price plus the 5 star brownies...food is above average but not by much, the atmosphere and price are what i enjoy most

Paul H.

This place is extremely sub par for a place that specializes in tacos. I'm pretty sure that they use canned chicken for their tacos & burritos and London broiled low-grade beef (which they try to pass of as carne asada). All in all, I could make their menu at home and have it taste better. The prices are cheap so I guess that you get what you pay for; however, I could get a much better tasting burrito at Chipotle or a local Filiberto's type of restaurant for the same price. I've given this place two chances to change my mind and my feelings have only solidified.

Heidi P.

Ok so it is not "mexican food". Once you come to terms with that fact you realize it is really good! Super cheerfull service, almost too many choices and tasty in a super healthy gringo way. Not bad just simple and just so you know... I am not sure a green chili was injured in the making of the green chili beef, so if you are a chili activist.. worry not for the chili was only used in name.

Windy B.

I dream about this place at night. They are cheap, fresh, and tasty. Good place for veggie heads or folks who eat fish. Can't speak for the chicken or beef, but have been with friends who enjoyed that stuff too. The veggies are fresh and organic!!! The beans are whole pinto, not lardy refried. All tacos are $1.50! Big burritos are $4. Tons of hot sauce in the back. Drinks are a litle expensive, but it is hard to turn down a flavored lemonade with a fancy umbrella. The owner is super cool. Everytime I eat at this place, he makes sure to tell us that he appreciates our business. I appreciate this buisiness myself, I am always trying to find excuses to go out that way. Luckily I have one such excuse today!

Two Hippies..... Brills!!! This little nook in a parking lot is quite tasty and affordable. 3 slam packed tacos for under $5, can't beat that in these economic times, served up fast and fresh. You totally need to check out this groovy light meal stop.

I used to LOVE this place but it has quickly gone downhill as it gained popularity. Long waits and the quality of foods is sub-McDonalds-quality. Barf.

Loved the place. Great concept for Phoenix. A tiny place with outdoor seating. Good food and cheap. I had 3 tacos (fish, carnitas and steak) with a diet coke for $5.50. Can't say anything bad about that.

I couldn't have been more disappointed with my first venture into a Two Hippies. My husband and I rushed home to see who could hammer this place on Yelp first (he beat me). I ordered a hot dog because I love hotdogs. This one was large and cheap, but the flavor was mostly salt, and it looks boiled, which did nothing to improve it. The bun was excruciatingly hot, and as soon as it cooled enough to eat, was excruciatingly tough and chewy (either overly steamed or overly microwaved). Hot dog alone would have earned 2 stars, but unfortunately I tried to share the hubby's tacos... eeeewww, the fish mush tacos were downright nasty. Seriously, they were not just lacking good qualities, they had a mushy texture and bad taste. The pork in the pork tacos was fatty, chewy, and overly marinated. The green beef was tolerable, but nowhere near pleasant. Overall a bad food experience and I came home hungry enough to pig out on Christmas cookies. Atmosphere is fine, place is clean, service quick and pleasant - but that does not make up for the food.

Just ate there at the suggestion of a local since I'm from out of town...it was very tasty, super cute atmosphere even in ridiculous heat. BUT!! Even though the taste was there (at least for the price) I had a hard time getting over 1) the hair in my cactus taco and 2) the fingernail in my fish taco. So..two strikes, so two stars.

Ok. So I've never actually been to Two Hippies BHOTAB...but I'm going to review it anyway. JUST KIDDING! I've had take out but someone else has always picked it up for me. You know. I have people for that. First off I must say for bong sake you have the longest restaurant name evah! Secondly I must say your pork tacos really hit the spot. Granted one side of the tortilla becomes a bit slimy by the time it reaches me (from my people) and the foil is unwrapped (again, my people) and I finally plunge that delicious hippie taco into my boca. The pork is moist (ewww, i don't usually say moist...OMG...I said it twice) and a little crunchy in parts. Perfection. Seasoned with love. Like a good hippie. A few beans, cabbage, cheese and tomatoes thrown in and I'm happier than a hippie at a Patchouli sale. Or happier than a hippie in a muraled van selling incense and bongs on Venice Beach. Or happier than....oh...you get the idea. All this love for under $2 a taco. Now I know why you are Outgrageous! I may tye dye a t shirt, get out the Nag Champa and pop in Dazed and Confused. Now. Damnit. Where is that bag of Doritos?

Pretty good. I got a fish burrito and a coke for $5 in that cute little brown bag that I dig so much. It was enough food to save some for later. The waitress/staff person was *really* nice! It was my first fish taco, so I have nothing to compare it to, but the prices and location will make me come back. I look forward to having other food there and I'll let you know. I finally had to have one of the brownies (I usually eat at magic mushroom burger). It was interesting. It was soft, but the chocolate chips were sort of crunchy. That may not sound too good, but it was a unique take on brownies and didn't make me like it any more or less. Of course, there were jokes about, "Don't tell anyone where you got them", and that was almost the sole reason I wanted one. My friend and I shared it and we had some left over.

I have to start off on a good note. . the meat fillings in my tacos were tender and seasoned beautifully . . enough said . . my taco was a slimy mess. . the FLOUR tortillas were drenched and turned doughy and nasty. Upon returning inside to see if i could remedy the situation I was met with an impromptu line and had to wait ten minutes to get a corn tortilla and a fork. Come on now. . . can you make a fork accessible to your patrons? So I informed the young girl at the counter i was unhappy with the tortillas and she pointed to a VERY SMALL sign that said corn tortillas now available. . woohoo We are in Arizona for Christ's sake . . tacos normally come in corn tortillas. . . flour should be the second choice. So she charged me for a couple corn tortillas that were old and dry . . they tore in two when i folded them. . So upset with my experience i folded my soggy mess up and discarded it. and I HATE to waste food.

Julie R.

DH & I had the tacos had 3 tacos...carne asada, fish, and chicken, fish was probably the best. The tacos were good, but the meat on its own had no flavor. We also had a burrito, which we didn't enjoy, we left most of it.

Two Hippies makes their own homemade salsa, which is pretty sweet considering how inexpensive their food is. I have ordered the carne asada, the fish, the red chile and the chicken. My favorite is the red chile. (Note: the tacos contain beans so if you don't like whole pinto beans in your taco, definitely ask them to leave it out.) The tacos were wrapped in a light, soft flour tortilla the day I came, and came served with fresh tomatoes, onions and cabbage. They also have a variety of baked goods (cookies and brownies) in the case. If you're not a taco fan, there are also burritos on the menu as well as quesadillas. The owner is great, knows me by name and I've only been there twice. He also informed me that all of the ingredients are organic. Great place to grab lunch if you're in a hurry. Outside patio seating. The lemonade was ok the day I went, a little watered down (a bit too crystal light for my liking.) Otherwise, great. I mean, I can't eat more than two of their tacos but I recommend ordering a three pack, just to be safe. You'll probably want a snack later in the day and you won't regret having one of those bad boys handy.

I so wanted to like this place. I've driven by it several times, and at night the mulitcolored lights and cute signage give it an intimate, urban-hip feel. I will say that the staff is super friendly, and the service was very good. But for me, when I eat out it's all about the food, and it was not that tasty. It was cheap, for sure, but I've had cheap, delicious food before and this was not it. I ordered the blackberry lemonade and their special burrito of the day, a chicken burrito with green chile. The lemonade tasted like cotton candy, and it wasn't actually a drink; it was a slushy. The chicken burrito was pretty dry, and was filled with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and what looked like kraft shredded cheese. It's my fault for not asking what all came on the burrito, but I HATE shredded lettuce. I had to struggle to find any green chile, and when I did, it didn't pack a lot of flavor. I wish I could recommend it, but I probably won't eat there again.

finally! the place slowed down a bit to stop in for a quick bite. it was MLK day, so i thought the crowd would be obsolete, NOT SO! it slowed for a minute, kinda like the waters parting, and then as i placed my order, and had a chat with Andy, the line swelled up again!!!! He said its all been done organically, no advertising, just word of mouth. Must be the BIG A_S tacos. They are litterally bursting with food. I tried the 3 pack of fish tacos. The fish was tender and delicious, however the rice and beans inside the taco was a new twist (next time that goes on the side!) that is where the filling comes from. I'm more of a fish, lettuce, cheese, salsa and lemon fish-taco-kinda-girl so the place only got a 3. However i'm sure on my second visit, the one where there won't be any rice or beans in my taco, will be a deliciously heaven like trip. If your a salsa freak (like my seester & I) this salsa is not for you. neither the green or red is tasty or hot, think salsa for americans. its so close to my place too! kudos on the local, glad the previous boutique moved (otherwise where would this tiny all inclusive place be?) on a side note; the owner and his bro are the creators of Long Wongs Wings and Hippy Brother Burgers and they still have it!!! The place is a kitschy place. You go Andy ^_~ hope they come to Grand Avenue soon......

This place is just as great as Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burgers!!! I got the Loaded Chicken Quesidilla. It was fresh, taste great, and was very filling. The atmosphere was also pretty cool. Lets just say it was such a fun inviting place, I weathered the 50 degree temps to sit on the back patio!!!

this is a quirky little place with delicious fish tacos. you'll never run out of things to look at while you wait for your food. they have a random collection of things covering every inch of space. very cute. i would have given this place five stars, but the counter girl got a little sassy with me when i asked for some extra sour cream.

Was excited to try this place for a late lunch the other day. Owner and staff were very welcoming. Ordered a fish taco, carne asada burrito and fresh raspberry lemonade. While waiting, roamed around the outside ... seating area could be laid out better. Order took only a few minutes and my name was called for pick up. Was suprised at the weight of the taco and burrito ... felt substantial. Tried the fish taco first. It smelled and tasted fishy (not in a good way). Very poorly seasoned fish cooked in dish water. The (flour) taco was loaded with a tasteless mash of beans, lettuce, rice, none of which were very appealing. Looking forward to the carne asada burrito, I was almost equally disappointed. Almost no meat, and what there was of it tasted like old pot roast that had been steamed into a tasteless mush. Again, the burrito was filled with beans, rice and lettuce, but nothing was properly flavored. The tortilla itself tasted old and didn't hold together well, allowing most of the innards to fall out ... you know, when you've let them sit out on the counter for too long. Ended up throwing away 1/2 of the taco and burrito ... something I rarely do. The fresh lemonade tasted like koolaid with slush. Definitely not worth the $3 price. Food prices are cheap, portions large, but quality and taste are not lacking. Two thumbs down! If you want a cheap Mexican fix that tastes good, try La Salsita on Indian School and 32nd Street. Great carne asada and slow cooked pork.

Chris W.

What a wonderful place. I ordered a pork taco, a green beef taco and a fried fish taco. Everything was wonderful. The fish was crispy and tender in the outside, the pool and beef were beautifully seasoned and the volcano salsa was spicy but flavorful. Hands down some of the best tacos I have ever had!

Milton K.

I have been passing this place for many years and stopped in today as I was on a taco kick. I had 3 taco's to go, which were delicious! I loved the choices of filling, and to go packaging. I will return because of the quality, price and friendliness shown me. Want to try the buffalo chicken burrito next!

This place is AWESOME!! The owner John and his staff are so friendly, and really get to know their customers! Everything is super fresh and packed full of flavor! I have yet to order anything that doesn't exceed my expectations. Their shrimp tacos are THE BOMB, and my entire salon is ecstatic there served daily now!

Alex R.

I love this place! Came here with my girlfriend a week ago and we've been back three times since then! The fish tacos are bomb, but I've also tried the grilled shrimp and carne asada tacos and all are fantastic. The staff is super friendly- I always go when this one girl is working and she's awesome and accommodating. Love the atmosphere and the ability to enjoy my eats outside. This has become my regular spot for sure! Absolutely recommend

Great tacos and burritos! Loved the idea of cabbage in the food! Lots of flavor and quality food. Frozen lemonades went great with the spice of the food. Volcano salsa was good for a weak guy like me. Don't forget to try the brownies too! Fun atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff! Love local!

I thought this place was cool. It reminds me of a little California beach side taco joint. I got a chicken bowl with pinto beans, salsa, cheese and pico. I thought it was pretty good. As for the slushie I ordered, I would not recommend it. It was just Torani syrup and crushed ice. Save money and make one at home! Overall, not a bad experience.

I have seen this place a few times and we decided to stop on Friday night. The dÃ©cor is comforting and inviting. I grew up in So Cal and love the vibe. Yay. The man at the counter was very nice and helpful. I ordered nachos and asked him to order me his favorite taco. Mt partner ordered a bean and cheese burrito with cabbage. We sat outside and the weather was fantastic! We had fun trivia cards on the table and there was plenty to look at to keep us occupied until our order came. The burrito was very large and my nachos and taco were huge too. Everything tasted pretty good. More toward the middle than the great tho. The raw onions in everything was the most offensive part. Not sure if we just missed that on the menu or if they just put raw onions on everything. Over all, the price was right, the ambiance was nice, the service was great and we had a goodtime. Was the food amazing? No, but it was decent. We will definitely go back and try a few more things and remember to ask them to hold the onions. We will be back ;)

Another great Two Hippies concept! We stopped by a few weeks ago to grab a quick dinner and loved it. My hubby had the rice bowl and I had the fish tacos...delicious! I also enjoyed an icy pineapple lemonade...so delicious and refreshing on a hot day (comes with a free refill too - bonus!). The staff was so super friendly and welcoming to our dog who joined us on the patio.

This place never disappoints! The owners are super chill - Kalen & John, stop by and meet them. I love how friendly they are and they take the time to explain their menu options! The food is very tasty and freshly made. The portions are very hearty...nom nom nom I recommend trying the daily special since they always knock it out of the ball park! I love the fact that they might extend their hours and talks about possible Sunday hours are in the air, now I'll enjoy their food more. Ok enough writing, my tacos await! Bon AppÃ©tit!

This place is amazing!!! I love fish tacos and I try them every chance I get. These grilled fish tacos are the best ever! Grilled perfectly with delicious rice and beans covered in amazing sauce. If you're a fish taco fan you MUST try this place. The customer service you receive is exceptional and the dinning area is perfect. So in closing I give them 5 stars

In my opinion, this is not the place for Fish Tacos. My order lacked taste, and condiments. Atmosphere is down to earth but because they don't have indoor seating I probably would not visit this joint in the summer.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots. Their specials are always delicious and I don't really have to think more than just asking for the special. Reasonable prices and totally solid personal. Repeat as necessary for your burrito needs.

Three taco's for $6, and that's the every day price. ;-) I've had Two Hippies Beach House about three times now and there's just something about them that doesn't quite sit right. I want to love them for the $6 / three tacos meal, but my GI system seems to say otherwise. I've had different combinations of tacos here with varying success, and since I'm no masochistic I must gracefully withdraw my name from ballot for "Duke of the Beach House." - no write in's, please. Maybe it's the enourmose portions per taco, or perhaps the combination of spices used when cooking the beef. Maybe it was the rice, or extra sliced jalepenos I always ask for. Either way, the food had a good taste, and a great price, but just doesn't agree with my sensitive 'personality'; I guess. :-/ Alas, I live to fight the good (food) fight in this ever lasting battle. Happy Yelping Phoenix.

YUM! Went here with my sister and papa right before I caught a flight because my sister said these tacos were to die for. She absolutely loves the cactus taco. I stuck with chicken tacos and they were flavorful and light. I appreciate the use of cabbage instead of lettuce, it added a nice flavor. I tend to enjoy Mexican sauces and dripping from my taco (so much flavor!), but this was a pleasant change.

I just had lunch with my daughter. Awesome fish tacos. I have been here multiple times. Aside from great food, the owners are very friendly. This is a great neighborhood spot not to miss. If i had the option i would give Two Hippies at two more stars.

Jade R.

Great place for Indie fish tacos and burritos. This joint has fantastic food and great service. It is nice to support "non chain" restaurants making a go of it. We had the green chilie pork and the red chilie beef burritos. The chips are home made and the salsa superb. The service was outstanding. We were very happy and will return soon.
(5)
Cam C.

Went there for my first time today and had the carne asada burrito which was DELICIOUS! It was huge and my salsa choice, the volcano, was very flavorful! I would recommend this fun and quirky place to anyone who likes carne asada for sure! I will be back to try more asap!

Karen R.

My daughter loves this place! Finally, she took me for lunch. Smack in the middle of the hot Arizona heat, but not a problem at all! Sat under a patio with misters, occupied out time with trivia cards on the table, and admired all the eclectic vintage beach decor. Love vintage! Now to the food.....I ordered 3 fish tacos (happen to be the special of the day). They were absolutely delicious! I traded 1 taco to my daughter in exchange for 1 of her carne asada tacos. Both tacos were so good! Fish tacos were my favorite! My other 2 kids had the other special of the day - buffalo chicken burritos, which they modified for their picky eating to just chicken, rice and cheese. The burrito was toasted on both sides (not greasy at all, just toasted). Of course I had to try a bit of their burrito. It was so good! (didn't have the full fixings: cabbage, and pico but still excellent) Service was great and quick and friendly. I even went back to the counter just to tell them how delicious their food was and chatted for a little bit. The atmosphere was perfect! I am now craving their food! They are down the road from Grand Canyon Univ too so all you students head out there. Support local businesses!!!!! Affordable and delicious!!!

Yolanda R.

I have always driven past this place and finally stopped when my son was famished and I did not want to go to Culver's. What a hidden gem! Greeted by the owner, the cook and counter person right when I walked in and the burger was excellent! Love to support a locally owned place who is doing food right! Try their Daily special- always creative and good. I am hooked!

I finally had the chance to eat here the other day and it was rad. I got a black bean burrito and it was so big I had to eat some of the filling before I could even pick it up. That is my kind of burrito! All of the ingredients seemed to be pretty fresh and tasted excellent. When you need lunch on the go, this place is perfect.

When some co-workers suggested going to a place called Two Hippies, I wasn't sure what to expect. It sounded fun, so I accepted. I was trying to eat locally after all. As soon as we pulled up, I noticed the funky decor. I LOVED it!! There was also a large outdoor seating area. You order inside (there was barely room for three of us to be inside at once), and then they brown bag your order and write your name on it. Tacos are $3/ea. or 3 for $6. I opted for 3 tacos. I was expecting standard street tacos, but I got so much more. My carne asada tacos came with the standard onion and cilantro, but also had rice, beans, cheese, and cabbage. I wasn't a fan of the cabbage, but the tacos were delicious otherwise. Canned sodas are $1.

Karina G.

Only been here once but man was it delicious, definitely coming back. Must try the red beef burrito, tastes like birria/barbacoa with rice and cabbage, can't remember what else is in it but it was amazing! Pair it with a lemonade yum!

Shaun Y.

$2 fish tacos are incredible.
(4)
Brittanie M.

In my last review I mentioned the taco plate was $5, it's actually $6 - either I got it wrong or they raised the price a dollar since January. I still recommend it as they are pretty loaded with fresh ingredients and really good tortillas. I usually get one carne, one chicken and one pork - but the chicken is my favourite as the chunks of meat are HUGE and cooked to perfection. It's sure to fill you up. One note: avoid the frozen lemonade. I was expecting a generous sized fresh lemonade slushy with a lot of flavour (I ordered blueberry) but what I got was a 24oz paper cup with Minute Maid lemonade, too much ice and hardly any extra flavour. Definitely not worth $3. Minus one star from my last review for the pricing. "Outrageously" yummy but also some things are outrageously priced. You'd think that accepting cash only and charging no tax would also keep the cost down.
(4)
Travis B.

waiting on my oil change, i stopped by here mainly because the place looks pretty damn cool. it's like a little ramshackle shed, with lots of shaded seating areas in the back. you order at the counter and then pick up in the back. i ordered 3 fish tacos to go and they were ready in less than 10 minutes. and they were only 6 bucks! how cheap! but they weren't the street taco size...pretty much standard size! and they were loaded with cheese, beans, cabbage, and fish. i was so impressed, i ate all three by myself! a definite plus and i'm sad they had to close their shop down scottsdale road closer to us. the grateful dead would probably eat here everyday!

Istvan K.

A wonderful local taco shop with a distinct hippy/geeky hybrid vibe! You will have no trouble finding this place, it really stands out on Camelback with its funky design - look for the VW bus and a beach-style patio; inside you will find comic books and a cool figurine of Spock. But onto more important things - food & service! Service - can't complain. It's always the same two people, and the girl who takes orders is really friendly and cool. I don't normally use words like "cool" in reviews, but here it is apt. This place is trendy and hip, without being hipster and tacky. The staff just comes off as the type of people you would be friends with and hang out with. It's counter service, so you really can't ask for more than a friendly intelligent face behind the counter, and Two Hippies are super rad people! The food: I've sampled the menu, having the burritos, nachos, tacos etc... They were all good, but there is really one item that keeps me coming back time after time: the fried fish taco. One of the best I have ever had in my life. That good. For about $3 you get a huge piece of nice fried fish, and the toppings are perfectly balanced with the fish. The sauce is tasty - no tartar on this. While I recommend trying anything on the menu (caveat - the nachos were really disappointing)... I feel that the fried fish taco is a MUST HAVE. They are highly addictive, and you will forget you are not in San Diego or Puerto Penasco..... If you want to go to a really fun place, with super cool staff, and the best fish taco you will have in Phoenix.... Two Hippies on Camelback is a treasure to be discovered!

Jonathan W.

This place gets 5 stars for its overall epicurian badassery. What more could you ask for - Great service, Amazing prices and wait for it......Brilliant Baja enspired Fish Tacos (Grilled). The yellow "Karma Bucket" really works - toss a couple extra bucks in that baby and watch the goodness flow. My colleague and I travel to PHX every week for an IT project and we look forward to our weekly "Hippy Run" for dinner. @ John and @ Mike are in the zone with their hospitality and engaging conversations.
(5)
Hugh C.

Not what you would expect. This place does have the best fish tacos in town in addition to many other great Baja inspired dishes. Be careful though... The food here is addicting. I'm personally switching the mouth watering fried fish to a healthier grilled option. It's not a disappointment. People are very friendly and the place gets a little overwhelmed during lunch and other heavy traffic times. Hard not to be patient around all the hippie decor. Surprisingly... Highly recommended!
(5)
Nicole M.

So so so so good! What a cool spot. The staff is friendly and helpful. The patio is kept nice and cool. And the tacos were fantastic! Go for the grilled fish. I also had the frozen watermelon lemonade which was super refreshing. This was the best meal I had while visiting Arizona.

The food here is one of the best in Arizona. I recommend the shrimp burrito. The Carne Asada tacos are delicious, the Red and Green chili burritos have an excellent spice. Bottom line, everything here is delicious.

I had some time to burn and was getting hungry so I stopped here. Ive heard about this place for a bit but never have given it a chance. Between the old vdub out front and the sign for "the best fish tacos in town" I was in. And who doesn't love a good fish taco. I ordered the one they are supposedly famous for there fried fish taco and a grilled fish taco. To be honest I wasn't impressed with the fish taco it was good but the grilled shrimp taco was AMAZING I would go back there again for the gilled shrimp taco I think they are the best I have had in the Phoenix area. There prices were reasonable the tacos were about $3 each. And I got there just before the lunch rush at noon. Service was quick and friendly. I read somewhere that they had some health code violations and I did notice that the place needed to be cleaned a little more. But for me good food at a good price with good service is worthy of five stars.

I happened upon this place when trying to find a place for lunch with a co worker. This place is phenomenal. Tacos tend to be my go to since you get 3 for $6. My favorite meats are the red Chile beef and pork. Each taco has the perfect amount of rice, bean, meat, cheese and then topped with cabbage and a fresh pico. The loaded quesadilla is awesome too... You add the food with great service and you have yourself a wonderful place to eat. !!!

This might be my favorite place in all of Arizona to eat !!! My favorite are the grilled fish tacos and shrimp tacos. They have an Americanized spin to them but they are sooooo good ! Every time I have guests in from out of town we bring them here. I also love the decor, it's such a happy place :) Prices are great too !

Kevin D.

Yum!! I love running to this place for lunch. Two Hippies Beach House is one of many treasures unique to Central Phoenix. This restaurant is easy to miss as you drive by on Camelback but you will never forget how lovely the atmosphere is once you stop in. The place is very well decorated in a unique fashion that supports the theme of the restaurant. The prices are cheap and the food is great! This place really can make a mean quesadilla. I love the quesadillas here because they offer a wide variety of toppings and meats. My favorite topping is the cabbage. Cabbage on a quesadilla?!?! Yep! It's fantastic! You gotta try it. Two Hippies is a must!

Best fish and chicken tacos I've ever had definitely worth going out of the way for. you must try this lotion they are indeed psychedelic. can't beat the prices and the atmosphere is out of sight

As a taco lover, I will try any taco place once. Unfortunately that's going to be my only visit here. The atmosphere is decent. It's all outdoor picnic table seating, which I don't mind unless it's crazy hot out. The cashier was less than helpful. We asked what the best tacos on the menu were, only to be told that she didn't know it all tastes the same to her. Well, she was right. The Carne asada was dry and lacked any significant flavor. The green Chile was also lacking in the flavor department. My lady had a fish taco which she said was good. But the tacos had too little meat and too much lettuce. Overall, the place is neat, but the food needs an overhaul. I'll be skipping this place on my Taco Tuesday ventures.

Two hippies has been a guilty pleasure of mine for a while now. The customer service is as high quality as the food. My favorite menu item are the Fish tacos ( 3 for only $6!!!) which contain beans, fresh cabbage and rice among other quality ingredients. Two hippies has a relaxing little dinning area and a community post board filled with information about, jobs, services and upcoming events. If you're looking for a wholesome, unique twist on mexican cusine, I highly recommend Two Hippies.

Tacos were definitely a decent size - green salsa was flavorful. I had the grilled fish and fried fish tacos. Super delicious and worth going back. Prices were just as good and reasonable unlike other "taco" places in the area. Can't wait to visit their other locations :)

Love the dÃ©cor! Love the idea in the middle of hot Phoenix. Even love the randomness of it all. But, it's just too damn hot to sit outside and eat a hot taco. Food is average, for an average price. Would you expect more from hippies? HMMM....let me think. I will come back here just for the smile the dÃ©cor puts on my face. Just driving past this place makes me grin. We should all be just a little HAPPIER!!! and HIPPIER! *pics

Just stopped in for a taco or two (or who am I kidding? when it's three tacos for $6 you buy three tacos) I got the grilled fish, the green chili beef and the pork. It's kind of a choose your own adventure when you order three tacos and since I start and finish on the same taco, I had to pick my favorite child. I started with the fish taco, you know the Olive Barragan of Tacos. It was very tasty. They put rice and cabbage and a Chipotle sauce on it. It was a solid taco. I then went to taco #2, the green chili beef. This guy was so very tasty. This was the taco that solidified my return to this place. Having tried their salsa out on the fish taco o decided that their green was the tastiest and put some on taco #2. Happy day. Finally my pork taco. It was a great end to the meal. I washed it down with a blended strawberry lemonade which was $3, a little pricey but they got me to fall for then with the three tacos for six bucks hiw could I say no. Tip these guys is my last bit of advice. They're sweating hard in the 110Â° AZ heat. The outside searing has some solid mist going and fans so you stay cool but those boys earn their tips. Oh yeah good atmosphere and lots of fun stuff to look at.

I decided to visit this awesome 'beach stand' eatery 2 days ago to taste their food and take more pictures. I originally visited last fall just to take pictures(!) I just adored their 1960s-70s decor vibe- I mean, music posters/pin-ups on the ceiling? LOL. I just got a kick out of checking every angle of this gem that stood out among reserved architecture/businesses on this stretch of a street. Anyhoo, I sampled the vegetarian (yay) taco with Sprite (out of a can poured into plastic cup with ice). $4 for a filling late lunch while continually to savor the remaining remnants that tided over the entire outdoor-only eatery: old license plates, vintage signs, painting of a guitar on a picnic table, 2 Adirondack chairs, numerous desert plants, vintage washer, and a '60s front-half of a van (interior was torn out, of course) that looked in sharp shape. So enchanting! There were others taking pictures like I was, and I just had to giggle! So, food/drink was enjoyable and the place was clean & orderly with an approachable feel like at the beach. I asked a sweet personable young gal working there whether the owner's from Los Angeles, because this place is also somewhat similar to the legendary Oki Dog hot dog stand of the '70s-'80s that was frequented by punk rockers & their followers (Darby Crash of the Germs, as a start). And, she said that no, the boss was not from there. Two Hippies must be an Oki Dog incarnate then. BTW, the gal even asked me afterwards how my meal was ("yum") and was also happy to take a picture of me at the front with my camera. Next time I have out-of-town guests, you can bet I will take 'em to Two Hippies. See you there. Smiley Face like their signage :)

Fridays are shrimp tacos days! The bomb. Every other day of the week is fish taco day. The fried ones. Really, really yummy. This location has relatively new owners who have changed many things. Most importantly, the food quality and recipes have evolved, the original awesome staff remains the same (Nacho has been working the grill for years).

I have wasted so much time driving past this place! Such a great little place with amazing food. My girlfriend and I really loaded up: Together: a order (very good amount) of chips and red salsa and a quesadilla She: 3 fish tacos with cabbage and sauce and a little pico de gallo with a raspberry lemonade to drink. Me: a fish taco with the cabbage, sauce and pico and a carne asada burrito with pico, rice and beans with a Mountain Dew. (All together that food was $25! We were stunned! Such great value.) When we ordered, my girlfriend was asked if she wanted the fish tacos fried or grilled and she said grilled, but received fried. She didn't mind in the least and from the first bite she was over the moon with how good the tacos were and I have to agree. They were so delicious and it seems to be what they are well know for. The sauce had a little more kick to it than I was expecting. Not a bad thing, just wasn't expecting that heat. The burrito was massive. So delicious, the only tiny tiny tiny complaint was that either the beans or pico in the burrito had cilantro and I am not a huge fan of the cilantro. Overall it was such a great vibe and delicious food. Before even getting up from the table we had decided that it was our go to Mexican food place. My girlfriend even ordered a burrito to go for lunch the next day! Don't drive past this place one more time, without trying it!

Awesome food, service, vibe, and sauces! Great approachable menu with variety and veggie option. Wonderful girl with short hair at the counter described items, offered extras and options and displayed a sense of ownership for the great grub they're providing. Excellent experience, wish I was going to be in Phoenix again soon. Keep up the Awesomeness!

Service was great. Nice little spot . We were driving by and hubby asked me lets try the place. Food was ok, but could be better. The shrimp taco was awesome. Was not to fond of the beans added to the carne asada taco.

leslie s.

Three words: fried fish tacos! Seriously the best taco I've ever had. Tempura-battered tilapia nestled in a bed of cabbage with some amazing special sauce is a taco worth every calorie! Try it with the green sauce and a healthy squeeze of lime and you'll forever be hooked.

This place is simple AMAZING. Best tacos in phoenix especially their fish taco. They know everyone by name. Plus, their prices are the best in town. 3 tacos for $6, you can't beat that. I frequently go to this place probably once every 1-2 weeks. I love how casual and quick it is. Don't keep passing by this place.

Best fish tacos! Grilled shrimp are amazing too but so was the carne asada. Loved it and so cheap too!!

I really dig this place. A nice little gem in the mix of all of these low quality spots in Phoenix. I'm not a fan of buffets for obvious reasons and don't like supporting franchised businesses. The Pros: 1. Great food in general. They don't over season their food to mask good flavors. Really nice balance and a nice touch by using cabbage instead of iceberg lettuce. By the way, lettuce has no nutritional value at all. It's a cheap filler used to rip off customers. Cabbage is full of great nutrition and eventually full of farts if you eat too much of it. The burritos are monstrous. I would eat half and then save it for later on in the day. Really great price for good food. 3. Unique daily specials. It's worth coming back each day to check what they've dreamed up. The daily drinks are flavored with Monin, which is a simple syrup flavoring. So good. 2. Very friendly staff who keep it simple. Order your food, they write it down on a paper bag, you get your food from the window in the back seating area. There's a good amount of parking as well. If an order isn't up to par just let them know and they'll fix it for you. 4. I love the decor of this place. It oozes the laid-back vibe of a taco stand. You have no choice but to eat outside in the fresh air instead of inside of a stale place.

Green chile beef burrito and passion fruit lemonade...all yummy and burrito is huge. I usually don't like ordering beef but it was tender and no no fatty parts. It all ended up in mah belly :) Cute place with of course a hippie vibe random art and posters and outdoor seating

Where's the beach? I love this place. The exterior is fun and exudes a real Santa Monica, Huntington Beach, hippy vibe. I love it. The interior is great too, having an eclectic blend of old posters and record albums. The downside is... there is no inside seating with the A/C. That aside, who cares, John and Nacho were great. Very friendly guys. Nacho had my burrito done within, it seemed like seconds. I sat on the East Side deck and devoured my little donkey, (yes burrito means little donkey). I had the Red Chili burrito with Volcano Salsa. I loved it! The burrito was filled with meat that is marinated to perfection, the beans and rice and other tasty offerings all rolled up and grilled. I love the taste of the grilled tortilla, enabling me to man-handle this one pound mexi-masterpiece. I will be back. They're menu is fairly simple making it easy to decide what to get. Next time... The green chili burrito. I can't wait.

Love this place. Love the guy, he is super friendly and love the food (for what it costs .. 3 huge tacos for $6 even, including tax). Yes, the chicken could be a little spicier or red or something but it's not bad at all. Tacos come with your favorite meat, beans, onions, chopped cabbage and tomato and melted cheddar cheese. Tacos come (VERY IMPORTANT) individually wrapped in a piece of foil with a (very important too) a fresh and green (not old and brown) wedge of lime. I like each taco wrapped individually in a piece of foil because otherwise they will get very messy and wet like those tacos at Chipotle restaurant, I love them but I hate the wet messy tacos Chipotle has). Any way, tacos come inside a paper brown bag packed with two different salsas on the side (red and green). This place has a fabulous outdoor and sadly dusty patio where you can eat your tacos. Imagining yourself sitting in some place in Puerto Vallarta with an ocean view, except, of course, the view here is Camelback Rd. They also have dozens of magazines for you to read while waiting/eating your food. I should also point out those magazines are current and not from 1985. I sat next to a Architectural Digest magazine and it's the same issue currently sold at the store right now. The only downside of this place is that they do not offer fountain drinks. You must buy a 12oz can of soda or beer. If you are a pro like me, you stop at QuikTrip or McDonalds first to buy a large size soda before coming to this place. You can also follow me on twitter @RexCota :)

First time here. Lube the hippy vibe. Ordered 3 Travis, one carne, chicken and one fish. Carne rocks, fish was gross way fishy and still undecided on the chicken. Big tacos, comes with beans, cabbage, rice and cheese. I skippted the cheese. Eating as I write. ..the chicken doesn't have much flavor. Three green sauce helps however. The ingredients are definitely fresh and the tortilla is very fresh, fluffy and beautiful.

Just tried Two Hippies Pita Shack, having noticed those bright pink and green neon lights along Camelback road. It was excellent, had 3 Pork tacos, chicken burrito (no beans), 1 cheese crisp and 1 brownie for $13.50.00 how does this place stay in business? Well they sure know how to feed the hippie soul and drive away the munchies. Inside there was tons of posters of hippie idols like Jim Morrison, Cheech and Chong, Beetles, etc, and tons of chachkas. Their Pork tacos were done just right and that food was pure joy, The lady behind the counter looked like 2nd or now 3rd generation hippy with a tie-dye-dead-heads style look. The guy cooking was obviously not hippie. But the place was cute, the food was great, and the price very hippie-reasonable--you rock "Two Hippies"!

Finally stopped by the 2 hippies taco shack and brought a 3-pack back to work. Glad I did, with some remarks. Just a little walk-in shed for take-out and some minimal seating in and out. Beautiful day, so the wait was nice. I got a chicken, a green chile beef and a pork. All of the tacos have abundant fresh cabbage, whole pintos (!), rice and cheese. But also plenty of meat. The tortillas are fresh and chewy and just the right thickness. No Carolina's here, but pretty good. The chicken, unfortunately, is grilled, chopped chicken breast. I'm not a fan of that, but if you are, you would likely dig it. I like tender flavorful dark meat. Be cool if dark was an option, but I doubt they're cooking whole chickens. Prolly just breasts. Ate about 2 bites. The pork was very tender and flavorful. Lacked the crispy edges of a true carnitas-style. Maybe you get lucky sometimes and catch some edges. I ate the whole thing and enjoyed every bite. The green chile beef had delicious, lean chunks of tender beef. Unlike any green chile I've had. More vinegary, like a Southern pork shoulder. Lacked any punch, although the girl said the green was spicier than the red...? Was pretty tasty, but I really didn't feel like I was eating Mexican food. I didn't get a burro, but since the fillings were the same, I'm pretty sure it's just more of the same, in a different shape. I would try the red chile next time, and skip the chicken. Wanted to try the fish, but it's not fried. I like my fish tacos like I like my hippie chicks: hot and crunchy. The food is more of a 3, but 4 stars for being there, being cool, being fresh tasting. And 4 or 5 for the value - I think myself and another light eater could split the 3-pack, making lunch about $2.25! Ultimately, this is to Mexican Food what Pita Jungle is to Mediterranean/Middle Eastern. It's really not Mexican, but it is tasty. Like Cali beach food. I wish Yelp could do "half stars". Solid 3.5. But I round up because that's how I roll.

I like what the Two Hippies brand is trying to do. Bring a local chain of food at a great price point. The problem is, they aren't killing it on the product. If you want to have a dumpy location, with nowhere to sit, and a decent concept, the food better be damn good. There is no place to sit inside, so I am not sure how this place will make it through the winter. The food is ok. Its not terrible, but it doesn't even compare to another mid-town taco shop (America's). I'm not going to argue if I am taken here, but I will definitely suggest America's over this establishment in a heart beat, even though Two Hippies is closer to both work and home.

I tried Hippie's with 2 of my coworkers today and thought it was pretty good. First, for $1.50 a taco, you can't beat it as each of them weighs about a pound each! I tried a pork and a daily special of green chili shredded beef. The pork was better than the beef and both could have used a little seasoning, but I am stuffed! I liked the cabbage, rice, pinto bean mix in the taco along with the 2 choices of salsa and thank goodness for all the napkins as these are messy! It is quite busy at lunch so it can be a bit of a wait to get your food. But compared to other little lunch haunts, this one actually had enough parking and seating to accommodate all the customers. They also serve different flavored lemonades (blood orange, watermelon etc) which I will be trying next time I come here. All in all, a solid 3 stars!

Lunch at Two Hippies Beach House can turn a Monday into a fun-day. I discover something new every time I go - like the Village People album covers, bumper stickers, action figures and list of 10 worst rock songs. I love going for lunch and getting a couple of tacos and sharing and order of chips and salsa. The tacos (and burritos) come with pinto beans, cheese, rice, cabbage, tomatoes, onions and a wedge of lime, but nobody squawks when you place a special order. (Big surprise, I 86 the tomatoes.) I've tried the fish, chicken, pork and carne asada tacos, and I think the fish are my favorite while the pork are a close second. The chips are store bought but the salsa makes it worth it. BTW, the tacos are cheap - $2 each. Their flavored lemonade is the bomb! I think I look for people to meet me there for lunch just so that I can get the blackberry lemonade. Pomegranate and raspberry are pretty tasty, too. One of these days I need to try the red chili beef burrito...which gives me an excuse to go back. I recommend carpooling if you're going for lunch. Parking is limited and the place gets busy quickly. They turn the food around fast, and you can always call ahead for a pick up order.

All of my co-workers raved about this place and I finally had the opportunity to try it at lunch. Wow, this was the most amazing burrito I have ever had. For me, the flavor was out of this world. There are other chain restaurants that make burritos that should shudder. This place rocks. I have only been two times and am entirely hooked. the green pork burrito is my favorite so far. One piece of advice, if you plan on stopping in for your lunch break (12 p.m.), I would order in advance to save you time in line and waiting for your order. Seating is all outside, Beach House says it all.

This place is special! Okay, you have to know the password to get in. The guy at the door doesn't remember what it is, but if you promise not to rat him out and talk about your interest in herbal medicine or massage therapy, you're probably good. They're going to ask you if you're a cop, just keep saying no. Six or seven times seems to do the trick. The fish tacos are outstanding and, appropriately enough, baked (not fried). Carne asada is very tasty. Generous portions, cheap eats, humble digs, super-friendly proprietor, improbable number of teen employees behind the counter. Non-wimpy salsa. BYOB if you want to eat on the patio. Funky little shack, man.

Angela J.

This place was fairly good, I have eaten there a few times and have learned the pork tacos are the best!!!! I have also had the fish not a big fan, loved the hot sauce was good. While the food is ok, with a great price this is not what I envisions a taco. But the idea of eating organic is great. This is not your regular taco joint.

One would think that finding vegetarian friendly Mexican food would be easy in a major metropolitan. One would be wrong. I was pleasantly surprised that Two Hippies Beach House Outrageous Tacos and Burritos caters to vegetarians, in its very modest selection of items. The menu only has a handful of items, and that three items were vegetarian friendly was a plus. I recently ate at this small restaurant and was able to enjoy a bean and cheese burrito. The pinto beans were free from lard and the rice was free from chicken broth. The vegetables were organic, which is also a plus. Inside the burrito, were beans, cheese, rice, cabbage, tomatoes, and onions. The burrito was quite good. Salsa was also included on the side, but it was only okay. Truth be told, the burrito was flavorful enough without the salsa. The other vegetarian items available were a cheese crisp and bean and cheese tacos. The prices were quite reasonable. For two vegetarians, we were able to eat for $14, which included a fantastic slushy lemonade, coke, and side of rice.

I finally wound up at Two Hippies for tacos the other day after living within a stone's throw for a few months. Whenever I go to a place for tacos, I'm expecting one of two things... either mass quantities of grub on the cheap or in-your-face quality and flavor. Two Hippies Beach House takes care of the former. The service was friendly, and the chow is okay, not bad, but not outstanding in the slightest. It's truly perfect as a quick and filling meal that you can mow down with a few friends before going out to the bar or for when you are getting back from the bar. And that, to me, has it's own special place in the restaurant food chain. For $5 flat I can walk away with three giant tacos loaded with plenty of ruffage to extinguish my appetite. Throw in some green salsa with those tacos and I'm content. There's no doubt that I'll be back soon enough.

After leaving Sack's Cafe at 3:30 (23rd ave & Camelback), I have just enough time to skate over the extra five blocks to Two Hippies Beach House before I have to be to my other place of employment, Practical Art near Central & Camelback. I ate at THBH two days ago and I've been plotting how many times I can make this excursion each week since. It's SO good. Managing the cafe, I've learned a lot about food cost margins, and I saw another Yelper mention this in relation to THBH's pricing ($2 loaded tacos!). And YES, we all need to eat here en masse and buy in BULK so this place can stay profitable enough to feed me! And why shouldn't we?? This place has delicious food-- all muy fresca! I ordered two tacos, a Cactus Taco and their daily special-- Artichoke & Black Bean. For some reason, I half expected them to be in corn tortillas, but I wasn't disappointed when I realized that they actually came in 6" flour tortillas. These things were stuffed to the gills, so they were a bit messy-- but I managed to very diligently get most of the food into my mouth. I can accomplish a lot when I'm focused. I ordered a blackberry lemonade to accompany my tacos, which was sweet, but tasty. I think this is a great 'schtick' for the Beach House-- lemonade in something like a dozen flavors. These folks are right on point thematically with everything they've put together here-- I've seen a few places go under for trying to encompass too many modalities. To tie a bow on it, FINALLY a place that proves buying local and healthy doesn't mean breaking the bank. Heart these hippies.

Now a days you would be hard pressed to find a decent meal for $5 that was actually edible. While fast food joints continue to feed the nation processed garbage Two Hippies stands out from the crowd with their large portions, organic veggies, and fresh natural meats. On top of that, the staff has been nothing but helpful, friendly and really makes you feel like family. Brandon actually takes the time to make sure my tacos are made correctly on a daily basis. If it is Monday through Friday, you can usually catch me here. Also as far as vegetarian options go, the black bean taco or burrito with rice is probably my favorite. The daily specials are a hit as well. Can't lose with Two Hippies! Much love guys! Tony

I live locally, and have driven by this surf shack hundreds of times. I found myself really hungry after work, and, feeling bored of the usual haunts, decided to finally give Two Hippies a try. I got a heavy brown paper sack full of bulging fish tacos, and a side of chips and salsa. The fish tacos were juicy and very tasty - solidly good, yet nothing that blasted-me-out-of-the-water good. I think the value is what is most noticeable: $5 gets you three tacos with stuffings of your choice. I was very happy, and think that even Rubio's could go toe-to-toe (I may even prefer Rubio's fish tacos to Two Hippies). Check it out, and you'll get a tasty meal for dirt cheap. The success of Two Hippies is evident by their recent boon: I think they're opening two more places (pizza and a breakfast joint), to add to their local empire. I'm interested to check them out, and hope they are as good at the tacos at their surf shack on Camelback.

Lunch at Two Hippies today. This is a 4 star with comments. 1) 5 stars for small business, new ventures, private companies. It isn't easy, been there and done it. 2) 4 Stars for location. Perfect location, very fun. No bathroom? Not even a place to wash the salsa off your hands? If it is there I didn't find it. 3) 4 stars for food: Great Green chile beef burrito. But it was a "busy" like I could get at a chain store. Why do we have to have rice and beens in everything? Carbs yuk. 2) 1 star for No Ice Tea. No Ice Tea? Will go back this week for sure.

$1.50 TACOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yum! This place was recommended to us by a local. We asked where to get a good cheap taco and this place hit the nail on the head. Two hippies are on the right track with this place. It's a bit small and it took about 20 min to get my food (they were really busy) but it was worth it. If I lived in Phoenix I would come here daily. A word about the fish tacos...they are good but seem as though they might use canned fish instead of fresh grilled chunks like most places. Considering the price this is acceptable! The drinks and baked goods looked great though I haven't yet tried any. I'll save those for next time I'm in town.

...And I'll Tell U Y.

I hate to say it, but this is some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Edible? Sure. Mexican? Not a chance. My hopes were high; with a name like "Two Hippies," I thought it would be a funky little place that served addictive street tacos... (I've never actually had *authentic* street tacos, but I KNOW they're not supposed to taste like THAT.) My friend tried the three taco combo; one carne asada, one green chili, and one fish taco - all on the low end of mediocre (though she couldn't even stomach the fish taco). My burrito tasted like they wrapped bland beans, rice-a-roni, boiled chicken breast, and one ton of chopped onions inside a Mission tortilla. Don't get me started on the chips and salsa either... Mission and Pace for sure... The horrible part about all this is that the service was REALLY wonderful! I think it was one of the owners who served me, and it was probably one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had service-wise. She had a distinct Midwestern charm; unfortunately, that's also what the "Mexican" food at Two Hippies suffers (severely) from. VERDICT: Go to Rosita's or Juan's instead... (In response to Bryan L's callout: 1) Yes, I'd take Bertos [or ROSITAS, or JUANS, or Chipotle] anyday over Two Hippies Beach House, and I'm not afraid to say it. And 2) Everybody [staff and kitchen] speaks English at Two Hippies because they're white as ghosts. It's like eating at a Chinese restaurant owned and run by Wisconsins. When English is NOT the primary language of an ethnic restaurateur, to me that's a wonderful sign.)

Loved this place! We're new to Phoenix and happened upon this restaurant by accident. We looked at the menu and decided to get the 3 tacos for $5.00 and a bottle of water for $6.00 total. Menu prices include tax and they accept cash only. I had 2 chicken tacos while my wife tried a fish taco. Included on each taco is: Beans, cheese, tomatoes, onions, shredded cabbage, rice, a choice of meat, which green sauce and red salsa on the side. These aren't tiny taco bell tacos. These things are huge and delicious! My wife loved her fish taco and the chicken tacos were also fantastic. We can't wait to go back. My only wish was that I had black beans on my tacos instead of pinto beans, but my wife looked at their menu online later and found that I could have requested them. A minor error I shall correct on our next visit.

Recession proof... Mothers come feed your kids, I'm unsure of the nutritional value but as it comes from hippies it should looks healthy, this place has serious value, friendly employees and in my case owner. I was steered towards the 3 pack and cheese crisp, which were both fantastic. The cheese crisp is more like a quesadilla and enough to feed 2. I'll be back many more times.

I used to love this place when it first opened but the quality is starting to fall a bit and the prices have gone up. It is still a fun place to go for food and chill. I take first dates there to see if they can "hang". It is my way of testing them. If they can't appreciate a good hole in the wall then they cannot hang with me.

Stopped by today and got the fish, green chile, and red chile beef tacos. The fish was the best of the three--grilled white fish with a creamy sauce on a flour tortilla with cabbage, tomato cheese, and beans. I prefer grilled to fried fish tacos so this worked for me. The green chile and red chile shredded beef tacos were good, but I wanted to taste more of the chile sauces in each. Nice tender beef without the lardy taste that you get at some other Mexican food joints. The tacos tasted fresh and light, never heavy, and I didn't feel bloated or tired after I ate them like some Mexican food take-outs and restaurants. They were pretty big for $1.50; three filled me up. They've got 12 different kinds of lemonade, but I didn't order any drinks. I wish I had after I saw someone else's watermelon lemonade. I's not Barrio Cafe, but if you're looking for a fresh, light Mexican lunch that is a local alternative to Chipotle, La Salsa, and Baja Fresh, Two Hippies is the place. I'm a fan.

Fish tacos are delicious! I order mind with extra chipotle mayo and extra onions! Sooo delicious. My boy friend always orders the carne asada on corn tortillas, and he is never disappointed. We call ahead to ensure we're in and out in just a few mins. The brownies are so delicious, so worth the couple bucks! 3 for $5 is a great deal.

Ok I swear I tried to like this place first it took 25 min to get my three tacos and nachos then my nachos where soggy. The carne was dry and not flavorful, I then tried the fish Taco it tasted like cat food. I didn't eat a forth of my meal I lost my appetite.

I had to check out the place since it looked like a classic taco shack you'd find in Mexico. Fish taco was no good, cactus taco was decent, pinto bean taco, meh. Salsa could have changed the game, but it was blah as well. I'd give it 4 for ambiance, but wouldn't go back.

Torta is amazing! Quaint location that you'd miss if you weren't looking. I used to drive past it all the time and didn't know it was there until I was looking up places to east on Yelp! Really fresh ingredients! Wish they weren't out of the blood orange lemonade, but the acai lemonade was really good too!

Not too bad but not too great either. Good deal on steak tacos. Some of them came out to soggy tho.

Ran across this place while running errands today. I felt like I was in Newport Beach or something. Got the 3-pack tacos for $5: what a deal! The owner, Andy, came out to welcome us and ask how everything was. Very friendly guy, and funky little neighborhood place. They use mostly AZ products and try to go organic for their produce which is a big plus. Check it out if you head over that way.

Great Food served fast and cheerfully on a Sunday night in a town that pretty much rolls up the sidewalks at dusk. Alright, that's not very fair to Phoenix, I'm sure there is plenty to do in the wee hours of the night if you know where to look and I don't. Fortunately I noticed Two Hippies Beach House yesterday night and remembered it tonight when I wanted some good food, fast and cheap and fun. The prices are a solid value, four tacos, chips and salsa, mango lemonade and a bottled water, all for under $14. Plenty of food for two and very filling. Unfortunately they take cash only. Fortunately they have an ATM with a very reasonable dollar fifty service charge right in the building. Decor and atmosphere is fun and laid back. Outdoor seating is varied and if you can't find a comfy spot to sit and enjoy your food you are way to demanding. Four tacos, one Green Beef, one Cactus, one Chicken, and one Carne Asada, were all very tasty. I opted out of the cabbage they use in leu of lettuce (crispness factor) out of consideration for my somewhat picky tummy. The Carne Asada had some gristly and fatty pieces and was overly peppery but still palatable. The green salsa could use a bit more kick. And the chips were fine, nothing to write home about. Had a chance to speak with the owner since we closed the place down. Mo is a terrific guy who is more than happy to answer questions about his suppliers and general business philosophy as well as his life, family, hobbies and interests. We very much enjoyed talking with him and will check out the other restaurants in the group.

Great lunch spot. Tacos are good and cheap. Not your traditional mexican taco, more of refreshing americanized taco. They are always fresh and refreshing. My only complaint is often times they are too salty! If they could figure out the salt, I might give it four stars. Overall, a quick and easy lunch and you won't be disappointed.

Great 'street' tacos. After cruising around downtown, I decided to finally stop here for a quick dinner/snack. Three tacos and a lemonade came to $7.50. I ordered the Carne Asada, Pork and Fish tacos. I could only eat two at that time. I tried the pork and the fish. Both very good! The carne asada (several hours later) was also very good, and probably would have been great had it been fresh and warm. No frills, limited seating. The owner (??) Andy was super nice and chatty. I've driven by at lunch, and seen the place packed. Dinner last night was not the case. Food still seemed fresh, though. I will be back (wish they were open later, though) Just had lunch here again today! The fish tacos were actually better then I remember! The pork was also very good, juicy and tender. I was less impressed with the carne asada, though. Still, a good experience, and still highly recommended. They would get 5 stars if they had alcohol and were open later...

I live and work 2 blocks away, so the minute I saw the activity in the windows in preparation for opening I was excited. Having a cheap, tasty taco place that close was a dream. I've been here at least 15 times and haven't been disappointed, although some of the options are better then the others. The pork tacos have recently passed into the sublime category, the beefs are decent. The chicken is a decent, healthy option. Carne Asada is meh, and the fish taco is not nearly close to good ones that I have had. With that said they include organic cabbage and tomatoes which is a huge plus in my book. Their flavored lemonades range from fantastic to meh. The best part is 3 huge tacos are $4.50. While they may not be authentic, the healthy (non greasy, organic vegatables), cheap price, and super friendly owner make this place a once a week type spot.

Besides being a good taco/burrito/lemonade stand, THBH is imo the coolest club house on the block. It's chock-full of knickknacks, posters, and snarky signage that will keep you occupied while waiting for your order. I wasn't even bothered by the lingering smell of lavender incense, plenty of which to select from. I purchased opium and cherry. Nope, never gonna burn em; impulse buy. The side patio is a great spot to sit and munch on 2 dollar tacos while being windblown by industrial coolers and misting systems. I love it. Tonight's attraction, Poetry Slam, and man this was one slam jam. Note to self, take up ripping people to shreds by way of organized angry verbal release. Possible new found therapy. My mental first draft in play as a sit sipping on a paper parasol topped watermelon lemonade. In sum, I find one word that describes this jaunt, E-CLECTIC! Beats the heck out of drive-thru any day.

Well, when your expectations are about as low as they can be, it's easy to be pleasantly surprised. The other Two Hippies on 7th Ave in Melrose Plaza left such a bad taste that I couldn't bring myself to try this one. But eventually my longing to be on a beach in Mexico tempered with a bad economy drove me to try. It was good. Quite fun ambiance. I was glad I didn't go during a peak time because where you order is claustrophobic. But 3 tacos for $5 filled to the brim AND vegetarian options made it worth it. The biggest surprise was the free refill on the yummy fruit lemonades. $16 for 6 tacos, two lemonades (and refill), chips and salsa was a scream. As hungry as I was I couldn't finish all 3 tacos. Good stuff. The boys working were delightful!

I love me some hippies. These tacos are amazingly good. Lunchtime tip: Call your order in before you head over, because there is always a line.

Just ate there with the hubby. Will not be back. Ordered the 3 tacos for $5 thinking I'll get some great little street-style tacos. I should have known there would be a problem when I asked the girl at the counter if the chicken in the tacos was pollo asado and she looked at me like I was not from earth. Okay, is it shredded chicken? Um...it's marinated chicken. Okay, bypassing the marinated chicken tacos, I order two carne asada and one fish taco. The girl hands me a bag and I think it's someone else's order because it looks like three huge burritos in there. But it's mine. I open my first "carne asada" taco and it's just this sad excuse of a taco...horrible white flour tortilla, some bagged shredded cheese, 5 pinto beans and meat that in no way tastes like carne asada. It's fatty and lacks flavor. Gross. I move on to the fish taco, hey, they're famous for them. I take one bite and push it aside. I take a couple more bites because it's covered in a tasty sauce that tries to hide the nasty fishy flavor. I stop myself. Rubios does fish tacos better than this. My husband had the "pollo asado" sandwich which I would give three stars but wouldn't go back for. Next time we're looking for tacos or carne asada, we'll stick with America's Best Taco shop, thank you very much. And next time we eat at a Two Hippies concept, we'll go back to their burger joint.

ok, I still love the tacos and burritos from here, but now they don't take cash. still no iced tea and the patio area in the summer time is miserable. it will probably be a while before a I go here again, unless I actually have some cash on me, which is rare.

It's been about a year since I last dined here and things have changed and not necessarily for the better. My wife and I both remembered their burritos as quite enjoyable, with fresh tasty ingredients, sizable without being too much and properly assembled (which makes a big difference if you plan to not eat it with a fork and knife). Well this time, we were in for an awakening when we finally got our burritos (which took about 10 minutes for them to prepare on a not-so-busy afternoon). I ordered a simple bean and cheese burrito and my wife ordered the fish burrito. Both burritos were enormous, overstuffed and so poorly wrapped that after one bite, both our burritos fell apart revealing the inner contents to both be lukewarm with unmelted cheese and rather tasteless beans, rice, tons of cabbage and average at best tasting fish. In order to eat our meals, we had do scoop out at least half the contents in order to properly fold the bland tasting tortillas holding this mess together. Neither of us could fathom why Two Hippies hires cooks apparently residing in southern Arizona who don't seem to have a clue as to how a burrito is supposed to be wrapped so I suppose that is an achievement, The whole affair turned out to be a completely unsatisfying sloppy mess, and not one we are likely to repeat at any time soon. It should be stated in fairness that the counterperson who took our order was enthusiastic and friendly. And the specialty lemonade drinks were good.

I have been hearing about the Two Hippies brand for awhile now, but was never near one around a meal time. Now that my office is closer, I decided to try out the Mexican concept, because I love me some Mexican food! I was a bit overwhelmed when ordering, it is not that they have a large menu by any means, but it is up on a chalkboard above the register, and I felt the pressure to order quickly. It was not until after I ordered that I realized that they only took cash, and my wallet was filled with plastic! I told the guy I would go run to the bank, but he pointed to the ATM machine in the corner, so I felt obligated to go ahead and pay the fee to get my $5 burrito. I ordered the green chile beef, because I have been obsessed with that lately, and it also said that the burrito was served with rice, beans, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Before I could make my way around to the pick-up window my order was ready. I took my burrito back to my office and took a bite...it was good, but it was the green chile beef that I was expecting. It was just shredded beef that had been seasoned with green chiles, it was good, but really just tasted like shredded beef. The main issue I had with my burrito, other than it being the size of my head, was that it wasn't very hot. I could tell that they attempted to warm up the tortilla, but didn't give it enough time to fully heat through, making the tortilla a bit stiff and hard to keep wrapped around the filling. Another tell tale sign that it wasn't very hot? None of the cheese even thought about beginning to melt! I like it when the cheese starts to melt and blends in with all the other flavors, but nope, this cheese stayed in its purest unmelted form. I might give this place a try again, while I wasn't blown away, the price is right and I see that there could be hidden potential.

I made my second trip here over the weekend, though a little hesitant seeing as it was noon on a Saturday. The line was a little long, but moved suprisingly fast. The concept is great, and the prices are well worth what you get. Having just finished a hike I felt I could down a 3 pack for tacos ($4.50) and probably could have, but I cut myself off at 2 1/2. The tacos have a unique mix of cabbage, onion, beans, (and more) that may not sound like they go with a taco, but when all put together they do. The outdoor seating could be not so great come summer, but for now it's great and I will definately be back again!

This place is freakin phenomenal! I go there once a week sometimes. It is not necessarily close to my work, but my co-workers and I dont mind the drive!!! Their pork tacos are by far the best. Sometimes there are some random specials, and the chicken ones are ok. Besides, 5 bucks for 3 tacos? Yes please!

Truly not a great place for mexican food! The burritos were cold inside, cheese not melted and not wrapped correctly. Basically the goods were tossed in the middle of a tortilla and that was it. Yuck! Won't be going back!

Braedy E.

stopped by this funky looking place around 6pm on a weeknight and no wait. ive wanted to stop here many times before but have avoided the twistingly long lines i see when i pass this place around lunch time. the people inside were very friendly and although quite a bit stuffy and small inside, i could dig it. they have a large enough outdoor area with misters and fans and a pick up window to get your food at. my friend and i each got the 3 tacos and a fruit slushie. i chose pear, and she chose raspberry guava. both were delicious and refreshing. the sign outside said "flavor of the day - strawberry margarita", and i was a little excited that they had margaritas but alas - no liquor license, so no cool, crisp, refreshing corona to wash down my tacos with either. the tacos are good size each, with plenty of delicious choices of meats/fillers to choose from. we both picked red beef, chicken, bean and cheese, and carne asada. the red beef was my favorite, with the carne asada a close second. skip the chicken, it tasted rather bland. the cabage was delicious and crisp and nice substitute for lettuce. each of our orders came with 3 salsas and 3 limes, absolutely essential for taco eating. i really enjoy two hippie's burgers and love their tacos. can't wait to go back.

This place is as great as everyone has already said!!! I almost drove right past it - and I am so happy that I didn't!! I love the look of the place!! My fiance and I each ordered a burrito and also got chips and salsa - all for $10.00! Great food and cheap prices - fan for life!!

I tried all of their meats, nothing too impressive. Their fish taco was pretty gross, and the pork was bland. I do, however, enjoy their veggie offerings. Always fresh and good. Green salsa is my fav. I am also nervous of a place that is FILLED with flies, and this place is BUZZING with them.... Seriously gross.

Craig G.

I've been reading and hearing a lot of good things about Dos Hippies Beach house and let me tell you, it was amazing. I got three tacos, chicken, pork & carne asada. All of them wrapped in a warm panini grilled style flour tortilla (corn if you want) and stuffed with fresh meat and organic vegies. Accompanying them was some salsa verde and regular red salsa, both were super flavorful and I assume home made. 3 tacos was too much for me but I devoured them all. The pork aka carnitas was my favorite. Next time I plan to try out their burritos or quesadillas. This is place is excellent and affordable. The scenery is cool, reminds me of a place I used to eat at in Ocean Beach when I lived in San Diego. It's a must try!!!!! Nice work Two Hippies...you've got something good going!

Well....I spend a lot of money on restaurants and eat at the best and the best dives. This one is close to the top of my list. It would get 5 stars if they had indoor eating, I froze my butt off but the food really warmed me up couple that with the price and you've got a real winner here. Communal tables make for interesting conversations. Fish Taco's were a disappointment, maybe because they are not fried...tasted too "fishy", not like Rubio's. Parking sucks but park down the street and walk, it's well worth it.

I've been handing out a lot of poor reviews lately, and I hate to be so negative, but this one really deserves it. Sure, there are plusses and minuses, but some of the important aspects were all minuses. I went in for dinner at about 6:30 and there wasn't a lot going on so I went in and ordered a red, green, and carne asada taco with a "lemonade." The girl behind the counter was boasting about their fresh squeezed "lemonade" and I like when it isn't canned mix so I ordered it. I went outside and got a seat on the counter looking into the building and after about 10 minutes they brought out my food. I was actually kind of amazed it took that long to make 3 tacos, but whatever, that was fine. The first taco, the red, was ok. Perhaps it was the fact that it was overloaded with beans, cabbage, and other mixtures of everything that usually is on your plate at a mexican restaurant, but I thought it didn't really have a flavor. The green was much of the same, no real flavor, but not a bad experience. They were both just "meh." Maybe now would be a good time to comment on that "lemonade." IT TASTED LIKE A FUCKING SLURPEE FROM 7-11. You have got to be kidding me if you are going to tell me this is a fresh squeezed lemonade. For ***** sake you even told put slurpee ice in it. I'm not buying it whatsoever, that this has ANY real lemon content. Ok, so now that final taco, the carne asada. I had high hopes since the other two were so bland I thought maybe it'd be harder to mess up carne asada, but I was wrong. It had absolutely no flavor, and had a horrid texture I don't know if the meat was overcooked or what but it tasted like a taco with beans and cardboard. I had to douse it in lime and hot sauce to make it edible, and still bearly was so, partly because the hot sauce they provide is not so tasty either. I didn't look for a restroom, but I imagine they have one, as they would never be allowed to build the restaurant without at least one public restroom. The entire concept of the restaurant is very cool, and I can see it being a good lunch spot during the winter months, if, and this is a big if.... they can get their food to taste like something delicious. And actually make lemonade. Guys, who are you trying to kid?

We took a trip on our lunch hour to grab some grub for work. I had the burrito special "Chicken Piccata". umm as long as I have lived, chicken piccata consists of: chicken breast cutlets, dredged in flour, browned, served with sauce of butter, lemon juice, capers, and stock or wine. Right? This was none of those things.. it was more like a chicken fajita burrito and bland at that. It was decent and hefty but Im sorry Baja Fresh blows this place out of the water.

I eat at the Beach House at least once a week. The fish tacos and carne asada tacos are my favorites, but I recommend checking the daily specials before ordering. The food is always hot and fresh, and the service always friendly.

Been there many times with many friends, not fancy food but decent, fresh, local, organic at a good price with none of the pretentions that one would associate with the whole organic/green mocvement in dining. That being said the food only gets 4 stars based on the price plus the 5 star brownies...food is above average but not by much, the atmosphere and price are what i enjoy most

Heidi P.

Ok so it is not "mexican food". Once you come to terms with that fact you realize it is really good! Super cheerfull service, almost too many choices and tasty in a super healthy gringo way. Not bad just simple and just so you know... I am not sure a green chili was injured in the making of the green chili beef, so if you are a chili activist.. worry not for the chili was only used in name.

Windy B.

I dream about this place at night. They are cheap, fresh, and tasty. Good place for veggie heads or folks who eat fish. Can't speak for the chicken or beef, but have been with friends who enjoyed that stuff too. The veggies are fresh and organic!!! The beans are whole pinto, not lardy refried. All tacos are $1.50! Big burritos are $4. Tons of hot sauce in the back. Drinks are a litle expensive, but it is hard to turn down a flavored lemonade with a fancy umbrella. The owner is super cool. Everytime I eat at this place, he makes sure to tell us that he appreciates our business. I appreciate this buisiness myself, I am always trying to find excuses to go out that way. Luckily I have one such excuse today!

Two Hippies..... Brills!!! This little nook in a parking lot is quite tasty and affordable. 3 slam packed tacos for under $5, can't beat that in these economic times, served up fast and fresh. You totally need to check out this groovy light meal stop.

I couldn't have been more disappointed with my first venture into a Two Hippies. My husband and I rushed home to see who could hammer this place on Yelp first (he beat me). I ordered a hot dog because I love hotdogs. This one was large and cheap, but the flavor was mostly salt, and it looks boiled, which did nothing to improve it. The bun was excruciatingly hot, and as soon as it cooled enough to eat, was excruciatingly tough and chewy (either overly steamed or overly microwaved). Hot dog alone would have earned 2 stars, but unfortunately I tried to share the hubby's tacos... eeeewww, the fish mush tacos were downright nasty. Seriously, they were not just lacking good qualities, they had a mushy texture and bad taste. The pork in the pork tacos was fatty, chewy, and overly marinated. The green beef was tolerable, but nowhere near pleasant. Overall a bad food experience and I came home hungry enough to pig out on Christmas cookies. Atmosphere is fine, place is clean, service quick and pleasant - but that does not make up for the food.

Danielle H.

Just ate there at the suggestion of a local since I'm from out of town...it was very tasty, super cute atmosphere even in ridiculous heat. BUT!! Even though the taste was there (at least for the price) I had a hard time getting over 1) the hair in my cactus taco and 2) the fingernail in my fish taco. So..two strikes, so two stars.

Thomas S.

Ok. So I've never actually been to Two Hippies BHOTAB...but I'm going to review it anyway. JUST KIDDING! I've had take out but someone else has always picked it up for me. You know. I have people for that. First off I must say for bong sake you have the longest restaurant name evah! Secondly I must say your pork tacos really hit the spot. Granted one side of the tortilla becomes a bit slimy by the time it reaches me (from my people) and the foil is unwrapped (again, my people) and I finally plunge that delicious hippie taco into my boca. The pork is moist (ewww, i don't usually say moist...OMG...I said it twice) and a little crunchy in parts. Perfection. Seasoned with love. Like a good hippie. A few beans, cabbage, cheese and tomatoes thrown in and I'm happier than a hippie at a Patchouli sale. Or happier than a hippie in a muraled van selling incense and bongs on Venice Beach. Or happier than....oh...you get the idea. All this love for under $2 a taco. Now I know why you are Outgrageous! I may tye dye a t shirt, get out the Nag Champa and pop in Dazed and Confused. Now. Damnit. Where is that bag of Doritos?

Blue M.

Pretty good. I got a fish burrito and a coke for $5 in that cute little brown bag that I dig so much. It was enough food to save some for later. The waitress/staff person was *really* nice! It was my first fish taco, so I have nothing to compare it to, but the prices and location will make me come back. I look forward to having other food there and I'll let you know. I finally had to have one of the brownies (I usually eat at magic mushroom burger). It was interesting. It was soft, but the chocolate chips were sort of crunchy. That may not sound too good, but it was a unique take on brownies and didn't make me like it any more or less. Of course, there were jokes about, "Don't tell anyone where you got them", and that was almost the sole reason I wanted one. My friend and I shared it and we had some left over.

Loved the place. Great concept for Phoenix. A tiny place with outdoor seating. Good food and cheap. I had 3 tacos (fish, carnitas and steak) with a diet coke for $5.50. Can't say anything bad about that.

Jay S.

I have to start off on a good note. . the meat fillings in my tacos were tender and seasoned beautifully . . enough said . . my taco was a slimy mess. . the FLOUR tortillas were drenched and turned doughy and nasty. Upon returning inside to see if i could remedy the situation I was met with an impromptu line and had to wait ten minutes to get a corn tortilla and a fork. Come on now. . . can you make a fork accessible to your patrons? So I informed the young girl at the counter i was unhappy with the tortillas and she pointed to a VERY SMALL sign that said corn tortillas now available. . woohoo We are in Arizona for Christ's sake . . tacos normally come in corn tortillas. . . flour should be the second choice. So she charged me for a couple corn tortillas that were old and dry . . they tore in two when i folded them. . So upset with my experience i folded my soggy mess up and discarded it. and I HATE to waste food.

Julie R.

DH & I had the tacos had 3 tacos...carne asada, fish, and chicken, fish was probably the best. The tacos were good, but the meat on its own had no flavor. We also had a burrito, which we didn't enjoy, we left most of it.

Heidi E.

Two Hippies makes their own homemade salsa, which is pretty sweet considering how inexpensive their food is. I have ordered the carne asada, the fish, the red chile and the chicken. My favorite is the red chile. (Note: the tacos contain beans so if you don't like whole pinto beans in your taco, definitely ask them to leave it out.) The tacos were wrapped in a light, soft flour tortilla the day I came, and came served with fresh tomatoes, onions and cabbage. They also have a variety of baked goods (cookies and brownies) in the case. If you're not a taco fan, there are also burritos on the menu as well as quesadillas. The owner is great, knows me by name and I've only been there twice. He also informed me that all of the ingredients are organic. Great place to grab lunch if you're in a hurry. Outside patio seating. The lemonade was ok the day I went, a little watered down (a bit too crystal light for my liking.) Otherwise, great. I mean, I can't eat more than two of their tacos but I recommend ordering a three pack, just to be safe. You'll probably want a snack later in the day and you won't regret having one of those bad boys handy.

Gavin S.

I so wanted to like this place. I've driven by it several times, and at night the mulitcolored lights and cute signage give it an intimate, urban-hip feel. I will say that the staff is super friendly, and the service was very good. But for me, when I eat out it's all about the food, and it was not that tasty. It was cheap, for sure, but I've had cheap, delicious food before and this was not it. I ordered the blackberry lemonade and their special burrito of the day, a chicken burrito with green chile. The lemonade tasted like cotton candy, and it wasn't actually a drink; it was a slushy. The chicken burrito was pretty dry, and was filled with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and what looked like kraft shredded cheese. It's my fault for not asking what all came on the burrito, but I HATE shredded lettuce. I had to struggle to find any green chile, and when I did, it didn't pack a lot of flavor. I wish I could recommend it, but I probably won't eat there again.

finally! the place slowed down a bit to stop in for a quick bite. it was MLK day, so i thought the crowd would be obsolete, NOT SO! it slowed for a minute, kinda like the waters parting, and then as i placed my order, and had a chat with Andy, the line swelled up again!!!! He said its all been done organically, no advertising, just word of mouth. Must be the BIG A_S tacos. They are litterally bursting with food. I tried the 3 pack of fish tacos. The fish was tender and delicious, however the rice and beans inside the taco was a new twist (next time that goes on the side!) that is where the filling comes from. I'm more of a fish, lettuce, cheese, salsa and lemon fish-taco-kinda-girl so the place only got a 3. However i'm sure on my second visit, the one where there won't be any rice or beans in my taco, will be a deliciously heaven like trip. If your a salsa freak (like my seester & I) this salsa is not for you. neither the green or red is tasty or hot, think salsa for americans. its so close to my place too! kudos on the local, glad the previous boutique moved (otherwise where would this tiny all inclusive place be?) on a side note; the owner and his bro are the creators of Long Wongs Wings and Hippy Brother Burgers and they still have it!!! The place is a kitschy place. You go Andy ^_~ hope they come to Grand Avenue soon......

This place is just as great as Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burgers!!! I got the Loaded Chicken Quesidilla. It was fresh, taste great, and was very filling. The atmosphere was also pretty cool. Lets just say it was such a fun inviting place, I weathered the 50 degree temps to sit on the back patio!!!

this is a quirky little place with delicious fish tacos. you'll never run out of things to look at while you wait for your food. they have a random collection of things covering every inch of space. very cute. i would have given this place five stars, but the counter girl got a little sassy with me when i asked for some extra sour cream.

Was excited to try this place for a late lunch the other day. Owner and staff were very welcoming. Ordered a fish taco, carne asada burrito and fresh raspberry lemonade. While waiting, roamed around the outside ... seating area could be laid out better. Order took only a few minutes and my name was called for pick up. Was suprised at the weight of the taco and burrito ... felt substantial. Tried the fish taco first. It smelled and tasted fishy (not in a good way). Very poorly seasoned fish cooked in dish water. The (flour) taco was loaded with a tasteless mash of beans, lettuce, rice, none of which were very appealing. Looking forward to the carne asada burrito, I was almost equally disappointed. Almost no meat, and what there was of it tasted like old pot roast that had been steamed into a tasteless mush. Again, the burrito was filled with beans, rice and lettuce, but nothing was properly flavored. The tortilla itself tasted old and didn't hold together well, allowing most of the innards to fall out ... you know, when you've let them sit out on the counter for too long. Ended up throwing away 1/2 of the taco and burrito ... something I rarely do. The fresh lemonade tasted like koolaid with slush. Definitely not worth the $3 price. Food prices are cheap, portions large, but quality and taste are not lacking. Two thumbs down! If you want a cheap Mexican fix that tastes good, try La Salsita on Indian School and 32nd Street. Great carne asada and slow cooked pork.

Probably the best tacos I have ever eaten in my life. I wish I had this close to me because it's probably going to be the last time I enjoy a traditional taco

I normally love this place and recommend them to everyone. Today my order was messed up and when I called about it the guy sounded like he didn't care. Which sucks because I'm big on customer service. Bad experiences get shared fast.

The food here is one of the best in Arizona. I recommend the shrimp burrito. The Carne Asada tacos are delicious, the Red and Green chili burritos have an excellent spice. Bottom line, everything here is delicious.

A wonderful local taco shop with a distinct hippy/geeky hybrid vibe! You will have no trouble finding this place, it really stands out on Camelback with its funky design - look for the VW bus and a beach-style patio; inside you will find comic books and a cool figurine of Spock. But onto more important things - food & service! Service - can't complain. It's always the same two people, and the girl who takes orders is really friendly and cool. I don't normally use words like "cool" in reviews, but here it is apt. This place is trendy and hip, without being hipster and tacky. The staff just comes off as the type of people you would be friends with and hang out with. It's counter service, so you really can't ask for more than a friendly intelligent face behind the counter, and Two Hippies are super rad people! The food: I've sampled the menu, having the burritos, nachos, tacos etc... They were all good, but there is really one item that keeps me coming back time after time: the fried fish taco. One of the best I have ever had in my life. That good. For about $3 you get a huge piece of nice fried fish, and the toppings are perfectly balanced with the fish. The sauce is tasty - no tartar on this. While I recommend trying anything on the menu (caveat - the nachos were really disappointing)... I feel that the fried fish taco is a MUST HAVE. They are highly addictive, and you will forget you are not in San Diego or Puerto Penasco..... If you want to go to a really fun place, with super cool staff, and the best fish taco you will have in Phoenix.... Two Hippies on Camelback is a treasure to be discovered!

This place gets 5 stars for its overall epicurian badassery. What more could you ask for - Great service, Amazing prices and wait for it......Brilliant Baja enspired Fish Tacos (Grilled). The yellow "Karma Bucket" really works - toss a couple extra bucks in that baby and watch the goodness flow. My colleague and I travel to PHX every week for an IT project and we look forward to our weekly "Hippy Run" for dinner. @ John and @ Mike are in the zone with their hospitality and engaging conversations.

Hugh C.

Not what you would expect. This place does have the best fish tacos in town in addition to many other great Baja inspired dishes. Be careful though... The food here is addicting. I'm personally switching the mouth watering fried fish to a healthier grilled option. It's not a disappointment. People are very friendly and the place gets a little overwhelmed during lunch and other heavy traffic times. Hard not to be patient around all the hippie decor. Surprisingly... Highly recommended!

Nicole M.

So so so so good! What a cool spot. The staff is friendly and helpful. The patio is kept nice and cool. And the tacos were fantastic! Go for the grilled fish. I also had the frozen watermelon lemonade which was super refreshing. This was the best meal I had while visiting Arizona.

Jaime G.

I had some time to burn and was getting hungry so I stopped here. Ive heard about this place for a bit but never have given it a chance. Between the old vdub out front and the sign for "the best fish tacos in town" I was in. And who doesn't love a good fish taco. I ordered the one they are supposedly famous for there fried fish taco and a grilled fish taco. To be honest I wasn't impressed with the fish taco it was good but the grilled shrimp taco was AMAZING I would go back there again for the gilled shrimp taco I think they are the best I have had in the Phoenix area. There prices were reasonable the tacos were about $3 each. And I got there just before the lunch rush at noon. Service was quick and friendly. I read somewhere that they had some health code violations and I did notice that the place needed to be cleaned a little more. But for me good food at a good price with good service is worthy of five stars.

Alyson F.

I happened upon this place when trying to find a place for lunch with a co worker. This place is phenomenal. Tacos tend to be my go to since you get 3 for $6. My favorite meats are the red Chile beef and pork. Each taco has the perfect amount of rice, bean, meat, cheese and then topped with cabbage and a fresh pico. The loaded quesadilla is awesome too... You add the food with great service and you have yourself a wonderful place to eat. !!!

In the area and decided to stop for lunch. My wife ordered the loaded nachos and I ordered the loaded hot dog. Both were truly spectacular. Good flavors. Big quantities. Nice people behind the counter. We're going back for sure.

My boyfriend and I come here once in a while, and we always get the quesadillas... Absolutely delicious! And the place itself is super unique and funky. One of my favorite spots.

Carly S.

This might be my favorite place in all of Arizona to eat !!! My favorite are the grilled fish tacos and shrimp tacos. They have an Americanized spin to them but they are sooooo good ! Every time I have guests in from out of town we bring them here. I also love the decor, it's such a happy place :) Prices are great too !
(5)
Kevin D.

Yum!! I love running to this place for lunch. Two Hippies Beach House is one of many treasures unique to Central Phoenix. This restaurant is easy to miss as you drive by on Camelback but you will never forget how lovely the atmosphere is once you stop in. The place is very well decorated in a unique fashion that supports the theme of the restaurant. The prices are cheap and the food is great! This place really can make a mean quesadilla. I love the quesadillas here because they offer a wide variety of toppings and meats. My favorite topping is the cabbage. Cabbage on a quesadilla?!?! Yep! It's fantastic! You gotta try it. Two Hippies is a must!

Best Fish tacos I've ever had hands down. Don't let any of these other reviews fool you. This is a diamond in the ruff. These People are down to earth, friendly and make excellent food. I will go here every time I'm I. the Camelback area!

Best fish and chicken tacos I've ever had definitely worth going out of the way for. you must try this lotion they are indeed psychedelic. can't beat the prices and the atmosphere is out of sight

Tom B.

As a taco lover, I will try any taco place once. Unfortunately that's going to be my only visit here. The atmosphere is decent. It's all outdoor picnic table seating, which I don't mind unless it's crazy hot out. The cashier was less than helpful. We asked what the best tacos on the menu were, only to be told that she didn't know it all tastes the same to her. Well, she was right. The Carne asada was dry and lacked any significant flavor. The green Chile was also lacking in the flavor department. My lady had a fish taco which she said was good. But the tacos had too little meat and too much lettuce. Overall, the place is neat, but the food needs an overhaul. I'll be skipping this place on my Taco Tuesday ventures.

Mark G.

Two hippies has been a guilty pleasure of mine for a while now. The customer service is as high quality as the food. My favorite menu item are the Fish tacos ( 3 for only $6!!!) which contain beans, fresh cabbage and rice among other quality ingredients. Two hippies has a relaxing little dinning area and a community post board filled with information about, jobs, services and upcoming events. If you're looking for a wholesome, unique twist on mexican cusine, I highly recommend Two Hippies.

Chris B.

Just stopped in for a taco or two (or who am I kidding? when it's three tacos for $6 you buy three tacos) I got the grilled fish, the green chili beef and the pork. It's kind of a choose your own adventure when you order three tacos and since I start and finish on the same taco, I had to pick my favorite child. I started with the fish taco, you know the Olive Barragan of Tacos. It was very tasty. They put rice and cabbage and a Chipotle sauce on it. It was a solid taco. I then went to taco #2, the green chili beef. This guy was so very tasty. This was the taco that solidified my return to this place. Having tried their salsa out on the fish taco o decided that their green was the tastiest and put some on taco #2. Happy day. Finally my pork taco. It was a great end to the meal. I washed it down with a blended strawberry lemonade which was $3, a little pricey but they got me to fall for then with the three tacos for six bucks hiw could I say no. Tip these guys is my last bit of advice. They're sweating hard in the 110Â° AZ heat. The outside searing has some solid mist going and fans so you stay cool but those boys earn their tips. Oh yeah good atmosphere and lots of fun stuff to look at.

I decided to visit this awesome 'beach stand' eatery 2 days ago to taste their food and take more pictures. I originally visited last fall just to take pictures(!) I just adored their 1960s-70s decor vibe- I mean, music posters/pin-ups on the ceiling? LOL. I just got a kick out of checking every angle of this gem that stood out among reserved architecture/businesses on this stretch of a street. Anyhoo, I sampled the vegetarian (yay) taco with Sprite (out of a can poured into plastic cup with ice). $4 for a filling late lunch while continually to savor the remaining remnants that tided over the entire outdoor-only eatery: old license plates, vintage signs, painting of a guitar on a picnic table, 2 Adirondack chairs, numerous desert plants, vintage washer, and a '60s front-half of a van (interior was torn out, of course) that looked in sharp shape. So enchanting! There were others taking pictures like I was, and I just had to giggle! So, food/drink was enjoyable and the place was clean & orderly with an approachable feel like at the beach. I asked a sweet personable young gal working there whether the owner's from Los Angeles, because this place is also somewhat similar to the legendary Oki Dog hot dog stand of the '70s-'80s that was frequented by punk rockers & their followers (Darby Crash of the Germs, as a start). And, she said that no, the boss was not from there. Two Hippies must be an Oki Dog incarnate then. BTW, the gal even asked me afterwards how my meal was ("yum") and was also happy to take a picture of me at the front with my camera. Next time I have out-of-town guests, you can bet I will take 'em to Two Hippies. See you there. Smiley Face like their signage :)

Tacos were definitely a decent size - green salsa was flavorful. I had the grilled fish and fried fish tacos. Super delicious and worth going back. Prices were just as good and reasonable unlike other "taco" places in the area. Can't wait to visit their other locations :)

I have wasted so much time driving past this place! Such a great little place with amazing food. My girlfriend and I really loaded up: Together: a order (very good amount) of chips and red salsa and a quesadilla She: 3 fish tacos with cabbage and sauce and a little pico de gallo with a raspberry lemonade to drink. Me: a fish taco with the cabbage, sauce and pico and a carne asada burrito with pico, rice and beans with a Mountain Dew. (All together that food was $25! We were stunned! Such great value.) When we ordered, my girlfriend was asked if she wanted the fish tacos fried or grilled and she said grilled, but received fried. She didn't mind in the least and from the first bite she was over the moon with how good the tacos were and I have to agree. They were so delicious and it seems to be what they are well know for. The sauce had a little more kick to it than I was expecting. Not a bad thing, just wasn't expecting that heat. The burrito was massive. So delicious, the only tiny tiny tiny complaint was that either the beans or pico in the burrito had cilantro and I am not a huge fan of the cilantro. Overall it was such a great vibe and delicious food. Before even getting up from the table we had decided that it was our go to Mexican food place. My girlfriend even ordered a burrito to go for lunch the next day! Don't drive past this place one more time, without trying it!

Awesome food, service, vibe, and sauces! Great approachable menu with variety and veggie option. Wonderful girl with short hair at the counter described items, offered extras and options and displayed a sense of ownership for the great grub they're providing. Excellent experience, wish I was going to be in Phoenix again soon. Keep up the Awesomeness!

Service was great. Nice little spot . We were driving by and hubby asked me lets try the place. Food was ok, but could be better. The shrimp taco was awesome. Was not to fond of the beans added to the carne asada taco.

leslie s.

Three words: fried fish tacos! Seriously the best taco I've ever had. Tempura-battered tilapia nestled in a bed of cabbage with some amazing special sauce is a taco worth every calorie! Try it with the green sauce and a healthy squeeze of lime and you'll forever be hooked.

Friendly staff, great food, quick service. Perfect lunch spot. I always go with three fish tacos.

This place is simple AMAZING. Best tacos in phoenix especially their fish taco. They know everyone by name. Plus, their prices are the best in town. 3 tacos for $6, you can't beat that. I frequently go to this place probably once every 1-2 weeks. I love how casual and quick it is. Don't keep passing by this place.

Best fish tacos! Grilled shrimp are amazing too but so was the carne asada. Loved it and so cheap too!!

Barbara D.

Love the dÃ©cor! Love the idea in the middle of hot Phoenix. Even love the randomness of it all. But, it's just too damn hot to sit outside and eat a hot taco. Food is average, for an average price. Would you expect more from hippies? HMMM....let me think. I will come back here just for the smile the dÃ©cor puts on my face. Just driving past this place makes me grin. We should all be just a little HAPPIER!!! and HIPPIER! *pics

I really dig this place. A nice little gem in the mix of all of these low quality spots in Phoenix. I'm not a fan of buffets for obvious reasons and don't like supporting franchised businesses. The Pros: 1. Great food in general. They don't over season their food to mask good flavors. Really nice balance and a nice touch by using cabbage instead of iceberg lettuce. By the way, lettuce has no nutritional value at all. It's a cheap filler used to rip off customers. Cabbage is full of great nutrition and eventually full of farts if you eat too much of it. The burritos are monstrous. I would eat half and then save it for later on in the day. Really great price for good food. 3. Unique daily specials. It's worth coming back each day to check what they've dreamed up. The daily drinks are flavored with Monin, which is a simple syrup flavoring. So good. 2. Very friendly staff who keep it simple. Order your food, they write it down on a paper bag, you get your food from the window in the back seating area. There's a good amount of parking as well. If an order isn't up to par just let them know and they'll fix it for you. 4. I love the decor of this place. It oozes the laid-back vibe of a taco stand. You have no choice but to eat outside in the fresh air instead of inside of a stale place.

Green chile beef burrito and passion fruit lemonade...all yummy and burrito is huge. I usually don't like ordering beef but it was tender and no no fatty parts. It all ended up in mah belly :) Cute place with of course a hippie vibe random art and posters and outdoor seating

Where's the beach? I love this place. The exterior is fun and exudes a real Santa Monica, Huntington Beach, hippy vibe. I love it. The interior is great too, having an eclectic blend of old posters and record albums. The downside is... there is no inside seating with the A/C. That aside, who cares, John and Nacho were great. Very friendly guys. Nacho had my burrito done within, it seemed like seconds. I sat on the East Side deck and devoured my little donkey, (yes burrito means little donkey). I had the Red Chili burrito with Volcano Salsa. I loved it! The burrito was filled with meat that is marinated to perfection, the beans and rice and other tasty offerings all rolled up and grilled. I love the taste of the grilled tortilla, enabling me to man-handle this one pound mexi-masterpiece. I will be back. They're menu is fairly simple making it easy to decide what to get. Next time... The green chili burrito. I can't wait.

Rex S.

Love this place. Love the guy, he is super friendly and love the food (for what it costs .. 3 huge tacos for $6 even, including tax). Yes, the chicken could be a little spicier or red or something but it's not bad at all. Tacos come with your favorite meat, beans, onions, chopped cabbage and tomato and melted cheddar cheese. Tacos come (VERY IMPORTANT) individually wrapped in a piece of foil with a (very important too) a fresh and green (not old and brown) wedge of lime. I like each taco wrapped individually in a piece of foil because otherwise they will get very messy and wet like those tacos at Chipotle restaurant, I love them but I hate the wet messy tacos Chipotle has). Any way, tacos come inside a paper brown bag packed with two different salsas on the side (red and green). This place has a fabulous outdoor and sadly dusty patio where you can eat your tacos. Imagining yourself sitting in some place in Puerto Vallarta with an ocean view, except, of course, the view here is Camelback Rd. They also have dozens of magazines for you to read while waiting/eating your food. I should also point out those magazines are current and not from 1985. I sat next to a Architectural Digest magazine and it's the same issue currently sold at the store right now. The only downside of this place is that they do not offer fountain drinks. You must buy a 12oz can of soda or beer. If you are a pro like me, you stop at QuikTrip or McDonalds first to buy a large size soda before coming to this place. You can also follow me on twitter @RexCota :)

First time here. Lube the hippy vibe. Ordered 3 Travis, one carne, chicken and one fish. Carne rocks, fish was gross way fishy and still undecided on the chicken. Big tacos, comes with beans, cabbage, rice and cheese. I skippted the cheese. Eating as I write. ..the chicken doesn't have much flavor. Three green sauce helps however. The ingredients are definitely fresh and the tortilla is very fresh, fluffy and beautiful.

Alex R.

I love this place! Came here with my girlfriend a week ago and we've been back three times since then! The fish tacos are bomb, but I've also tried the grilled shrimp and carne asada tacos and all are fantastic. The staff is super friendly- I always go when this one girl is working and she's awesome and accommodating. Love the atmosphere and the ability to enjoy my eats outside. This has become my regular spot for sure! Absolutely recommend

Great tacos and burritos! Loved the idea of cabbage in the food! Lots of flavor and quality food. Frozen lemonades went great with the spice of the food. Volcano salsa was good for a weak guy like me. Don't forget to try the brownies too! Fun atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff! Love local!

It was my 2nd time here and it was just as amazing as I remembered! Food is hot, fresh, local and so full of flavor!

I thought this place was cool. It reminds me of a little California beach side taco joint. I got a chicken bowl with pinto beans, salsa, cheese and pico. I thought it was pretty good. As for the slushie I ordered, I would not recommend it. It was just Torani syrup and crushed ice. Save money and make one at home! Overall, not a bad experience.

Nikole I.

Fridays are shrimp tacos days! The bomb. Every other day of the week is fish taco day. The fried ones. Really, really yummy. This location has relatively new owners who have changed many things. Most importantly, the food quality and recipes have evolved, the original awesome staff remains the same (Nacho has been working the grill for years).
(5)
Tammy D.

I have seen this place a few times and we decided to stop on Friday night. The dÃ©cor is comforting and inviting. I grew up in So Cal and love the vibe. Yay. The man at the counter was very nice and helpful. I ordered nachos and asked him to order me his favorite taco. Mt partner ordered a bean and cheese burrito with cabbage. We sat outside and the weather was fantastic! We had fun trivia cards on the table and there was plenty to look at to keep us occupied until our order came. The burrito was very large and my nachos and taco were huge too. Everything tasted pretty good. More toward the middle than the great tho. The raw onions in everything was the most offensive part. Not sure if we just missed that on the menu or if they just put raw onions on everything. Over all, the price was right, the ambiance was nice, the service was great and we had a goodtime. Was the food amazing? No, but it was decent. We will definitely go back and try a few more things and remember to ask them to hold the onions. We will be back ;)

Another great Two Hippies concept! We stopped by a few weeks ago to grab a quick dinner and loved it. My hubby had the rice bowl and I had the fish tacos...delicious! I also enjoyed an icy pineapple lemonade...so delicious and refreshing on a hot day (comes with a free refill too - bonus!). The staff was so super friendly and welcoming to our dog who joined us on the patio.

This place never disappoints! The owners are super chill - Kalen & John, stop by and meet them. I love how friendly they are and they take the time to explain their menu options! The food is very tasty and freshly made. The portions are very hearty...nom nom nom I recommend trying the daily special since they always knock it out of the ball park! I love the fact that they might extend their hours and talks about possible Sunday hours are in the air, now I'll enjoy their food more. Ok enough writing, my tacos await! Bon AppÃ©tit!

This place is amazing!!! I love fish tacos and I try them every chance I get. These grilled fish tacos are the best ever! Grilled perfectly with delicious rice and beans covered in amazing sauce. If you're a fish taco fan you MUST try this place. The customer service you receive is exceptional and the dinning area is perfect. So in closing I give them 5 stars
(5)
Chris W.

What a wonderful place. I ordered a pork taco, a green beef taco and a fried fish taco. Everything was wonderful. The fish was crispy and tender in the outside, the pool and beef were beautifully seasoned and the volcano salsa was spicy but flavorful. Hands down some of the best tacos I have ever had!

Milton K.

I have been passing this place for many years and stopped in today as I was on a taco kick. I had 3 taco's to go, which were delicious! I loved the choices of filling, and to go packaging. I will return because of the quality, price and friendliness shown me. Want to try the buffalo chicken burrito next!

Mercedes D.

This place is AWESOME!! The owner John and his staff are so friendly, and really get to know their customers! Everything is super fresh and packed full of flavor!

In my opinion, this is not the place for Fish Tacos. My order lacked taste, and condiments. Atmosphere is down to earth but because they don't have indoor seating I probably would not visit this joint in the summer.

Three taco's for $6, and that's the every day price. ;-) I've had Two Hippies Beach House about three times now and there's just something about them that doesn't quite sit right. I want to love them for the $6 / three tacos meal, but my GI system seems to say otherwise. I've had different combinations of tacos here with varying success, and since I'm no masochistic I must gracefully withdraw my name from ballot for "Duke of the Beach House." - no write in's, please. Maybe it's the enourmose portions per taco, or perhaps the combination of spices used when cooking the beef. Maybe it was the rice, or extra sliced jalepenos I always ask for. Either way, the food had a good taste, and a great price, but just doesn't agree with my sensitive 'personality'; I guess. :-/ Alas, I live to fight the good (food) fight in this ever lasting battle. Happy Yelping Phoenix.

YUM! Went here with my sister and papa right before I caught a flight because my sister said these tacos were to die for. She absolutely loves the cactus taco. I stuck with chicken tacos and they were flavorful and light. I appreciate the use of cabbage instead of lettuce, it added a nice flavor. I tend to enjoy Mexican sauces and dripping from my taco (so much flavor!), but this was a pleasant change.

I just had lunch with my daughter. Awesome fish tacos. I have been here multiple times. Aside from great food, the owners are very friendly. This is a great neighborhood spot not to miss. If i had the option i would give Two Hippies at two more stars.

Jade R.

Great place for Indie fish tacos and burritos. This joint has fantastic food and great service. It is nice to support "non chain" restaurants making a go of it. We had the green chilie pork and the red chilie beef burritos. The chips are home made and the salsa superb. The service was outstanding. We were very happy and will return soon.

Cam C.

Went there for my first time today and had the carne asada burrito which was DELICIOUS! It was huge and my salsa choice, the volcano, was very flavorful! I would recommend this fun and quirky place to anyone who likes carne asada for sure! I will be back to try more asap!

Karen R.

My daughter loves this place! Finally, she took me for lunch. Smack in the middle of the hot Arizona heat, but not a problem at all! Sat under a patio with misters, occupied out time with trivia cards on the table, and admired all the eclectic vintage beach decor. Love vintage! Now to the food.....I ordered 3 fish tacos (happen to be the special of the day). They were absolutely delicious! I traded 1 taco to my daughter in exchange for 1 of her carne asada tacos. Both tacos were so good! Fish tacos were my favorite! My other 2 kids had the other special of the day - buffalo chicken burritos, which they modified for their picky eating to just chicken, rice and cheese. The burrito was toasted on both sides (not greasy at all, just toasted). Of course I had to try a bit of their burrito. It was so good! (didn't have the full fixings: cabbage, and pico but still excellent) Service was great and quick and friendly. I even went back to the counter just to tell them how delicious their food was and chatted for a little bit. The atmosphere was perfect! I am now craving their food! They are down the road from Grand Canyon Univ too so all you students head out there. Support local businesses!!!!! Affordable and delicious!!!

Yolanda R.

I have always driven past this place and finally stopped when my son was famished and I did not want to go to Culver's. What a hidden gem! Greeted by the owner, the cook and counter person right when I walked in and the burger was excellent! Love to support a locally owned place who is doing food right! Try their Daily special- always creative and good. I am hooked!

I finally had the chance to eat here the other day and it was rad. I got a black bean burrito and it was so big I had to eat some of the filling before I could even pick it up. That is my kind of burrito! All of the ingredients seemed to be pretty fresh and tasted excellent. When you need lunch on the go, this place is perfect.

When some co-workers suggested going to a place called Two Hippies, I wasn't sure what to expect. It sounded fun, so I accepted. I was trying to eat locally after all. As soon as we pulled up, I noticed the funky decor. I LOVED it!! There was also a large outdoor seating area. You order inside (there was barely room for three of us to be inside at once), and then they brown bag your order and write your name on it. Tacos are $3/ea. or 3 for $6. I opted for 3 tacos. I was expecting standard street tacos, but I got so much more. My carne asada tacos came with the standard onion and cilantro, but also had rice, beans, cheese, and cabbage. I wasn't a fan of the cabbage, but the tacos were delicious otherwise. Canned sodas are $1.

Only been here once but man was it delicious, definitely coming back. Must try the red beef burrito, tastes like birria/barbacoa with rice and cabbage, can't remember what else is in it but it was amazing! Pair it with a lemonade yum!

$2 fish tacos are incredible.

In my last review I mentioned the taco plate was $5, it's actually $6 - either I got it wrong or they raised the price a dollar since January. I still recommend it as they are pretty loaded with fresh ingredients and really good tortillas. I usually get one carne, one chicken and one pork - but the chicken is my favourite as the chunks of meat are HUGE and cooked to perfection. It's sure to fill you up. One note: avoid the frozen lemonade. I was expecting a generous sized fresh lemonade slushy with a lot of flavour (I ordered blueberry) but what I got was a 24oz paper cup with Minute Maid lemonade, too much ice and hardly any extra flavour. Definitely not worth $3. Minus one star from my last review for the pricing. "Outrageously" yummy but also some things are outrageously priced. You'd think that accepting cash only and charging no tax would also keep the cost down.

waiting on my oil change, i stopped by here mainly because the place looks pretty damn cool. it's like a little ramshackle shed, with lots of shaded seating areas in the back. you order at the counter and then pick up in the back. i ordered 3 fish tacos to go and they were ready in less than 10 minutes. and they were only 6 bucks! how cheap! but they weren't the street taco size...pretty much standard size! and they were loaded with cheese, beans, cabbage, and fish. i was so impressed, i ate all three by myself! a definite plus and i'm sad they had to close their shop down scottsdale road closer to us. the grateful dead would probably eat here everyday!

This is my first review here on Yelp and I'm so happy that it's about this place! My roommate and I just moved out here from San Francisco about 2 months ago. Within the first week we went exploring to find some good places to go and eat or hang out. While we drove by we saw the amazing decor of this place and instantly fell in love! The owner John and his wife have only owned it for about a month now and it seems like it's been years for them. They just flow so smoothly with the customers and really make you feel special. The food is out of this world! I try to try all the different things on the menu but my heart is set on the rice bowl with cactus In it... Cactus!!!!! Not to mention they have Lavender lemonade that's to die for!! I truly love this place and my roommate and I eat here once a week! It's a good little treat for us. If you don't go here at least once, then you're missing out.

On our way to Chino Bandido, we passed Two Hippies Beach House (photo: yelp.com/biz_photos/W537â€¦ ). Ever fans of Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burger, we screeched to a halt and piled on into the restaurant. Why would a couple of California-born-and-raised kids like my boyfriend and I want something from a "beach house" in the middle of the Sonoran Desert? We had faith in Two Hippies. Plus it's Baja-style, in the middle of Sonora-style country. Let's do this! The main entrees are tacos and hot dogs, with "burros" also being a dining option. Tacos run $3 apiece, but you can get three for $6. Filling options are: red beef, green beef, carne asada, chicken, fish, cactus, pork, black bean, or pinto bean. Burros, which are actually pretty huge (we're talking original Green Burrito's Big Ed-sized), cost $6 and have the same filling options as tacos. Tacos and burros come with cabbage, onion, tomato, pinto beans, rice, and cheese. My boyfriend got a burro with green beef and could barely finish it. Hot dogs go for $3-5, they're all numbered and come with a bag of chips (though that's not mentioned on the menu). Just a regular hot dog on a bun is $3, but I felt the biggest bang for my buck was #4 -- pesto mayo, onion, tomato, feta cheese, and bacon for $4. Other hot dogs come with beef chili, jalapeno, guacamole, pinto beans, and the usual assortment of condiments. It was pretty good, especially at the price I paid for it. It's comparable to Pink's in Hollywood, actually (definitely better than the Knott's Berry Farm branch, I can tell you that right now). Our grub: yelp.com/biz_photos/W537â€¦ Just like Magic Mushroom, this Two Hippies restaurant sells flavored lemonade for $3 (there's a very long list of flavors taped to the counter). I'd previously tried Prickly Pear (Beach House calls it "Desert Pear") and LOVED it, but wanted to try something else. The nice guy taking our order then mentioned some combinations he and the other guys working there made up. I don't remember the names and combos of the others, but I got the one he called "Yummy in Your Tummy," which was a tropical blend of banana, kiwi, and other fruits, and it was GREAT. It came with an orange wedge inside and a little umbrella poked into the lid. My boyfriend got the cinnamon-flavored lemonade since it sounded so out there, and it was actually pretty good. I would have expected it might have gotten spicy to drink after a while, but he says it didn't. Outside of lemonade, they've got Chai tea ($3) and cans of soda ($1). If you're not digging hots dogs, tacos, and burritos, the only other thing they got is a quesadilla ($3/cheese, $5/chicken with guac and sour cream). There's only patio seating since the lobby in front of the counter is so tight (packed mostly with random objects in keeping with the ambiance). It was a nice breezy day and Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" came on the loud speaker. Yeah, we definitely had a nice meal.

Gross. The carne asada tasted like dog food, and I think my fish was bad. I will never eat here again. (Sorry to the nice guy working behind the counter, I in no way blame you :)

I've been here numerous times, always for their hot dogs. Their hotdogs are great! Very unique combinations. I love the #4, 7 and 10. If you have your work badge on when you order, you get a free drink. Had I only ever had their hotdogs, this would be a 5 star review. However the past two times I went, I had Mexican food. A week ago I ordered the chicken quesadilla and most recently I ordered the carne asada burro. The chicken was well cooked, tender and moist, but it had obviously been boiled in water. Just water. Nothing else. No seasonings. And there was so much chicken (normally not a complaint) that I couldn't taste the cheese. The last visit was just a mess all around. My friend ordered the chicken burro and a large side of guacamole. The order comes out as usual, in a paper bag. Within a few seconds, we found that during the 10 ft walk to bring it out to us, two of the salsa contairs had opened and spilled everywhere. So everything had a coating of salsa on it. What a mess. But again, nothing was seasoned!! Neither the chicken or carne asada had any flavor to it. The guacamole was just mashed up avocado. No salt or pepper even! Big disappointment! Hotdogs - 5 stars Mexican Food - 1 star

I was lucky enough to meet up here with Christina P for lunch yesterday. The menu is currently the same as the other beach house with soft tacos, burritos and hot dogs. They are are planning to add tamales to the regular menu and we got to try a sample of pork tamale and it was tasty. I got the three tacos for $5 and a lemonade for $3. There are several flavors of lemonade but I got the plain. I got one each of fish, carne asada and chicken. They were all tasty and I tried some of both the green and red sauces on them. One thing I noticed is the meat didn't stand out on any of them and there was very little taste difference between the three. All the ingredients were fresh and there was nothing soggy. I thought the lemonade was good. They have only been open a week and of course the place is spotless. The two employees we dealt with were very pleasant. I always carry cash which is a good thing because that is all they take. There is an ATM in the lobby. I haven't been to their other location but I am told it is much smaller. Inside there were 5 2tops and some stools with a couple of tables outside too. The tables would seat 3 or 4 (cramped) so I think they should have a couple of additional chairs. Overall I see it as a good neighborhood place to grab a quick bite to eat but certainly not a destination

Dive, but what do you expect from a place run by hippies?! These guys serve up awesome tacos and burritos daily with a side of peace and happiness. Love these guys, support them!

So this place, Is a local fav for us. This shack goes through its spurt of being good and average but to be honest through our venture with this business we have never had an awful experience with the staff or the food, AND the price is soo affordable. You should go! Taco TUES IS pry the best day to go, for some reason I feel like in the winter this business puts its best self forward if you know what I mean. -BYOB-Yes, actually.

DeeJay F.

Cool dÃ©cor, mediocre food, eh-prices. I want to like it, really I do. Every time I leave Two Hippies I tell myself I probably should have ordered something else... But nope, still feels like an unskilled friend whipped something up real quick and poured cherry syrup in Minute Maid lemonade and called it gourmet. The food might taste better if the atmosphere and decor didn't get your hopes up. When you walk in to any of their locations you can't help to be excited about the possibility of falling in love with another trendy downtown restaurant, only to be disappointed. It's like a date with someone you met on Facebook who had a really interesting about me section and who's display picture portrayed them as a model, only to find out they're just average in real life.

Now we stand at a crossroads; perhaps a dilemma. Is it truly Mexican when it's not made by Mexicans? Is a taco a taco just because someone said it is? Or a burrito? The philosophies and debates of Mexican food can go on for hours. But I like to think of it like this: If it tastes good, who cares? This is the case with Two Hippies Beach House. Opened by the same Two Hippies, Andy and Jan Goldstein, who brought us Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burger, they use words like tacos and burritos but never actually say they serve Mexican food. What they do serve is an accessible, mostly delicious, well-priced menu. Really, any three tacos are $5, anytime! If you've ever been to some of the surf shacks in San Diego, you'll notice it's like they picked one up and dropped it on the corner of Camelback Road and 5th Street Ã¢â‚¬" sans the sand of course. In true Two Hippies fashion, every square inch of this small establishment is absolutely covered with kitsch of all kinds; such blissful tackiness. The front is about the size of a postage stamp, barely enough room to stand after ordering at the counter. Once your order is ready, they call out your name. You can take your stash home or go around back and pull up a picnic table. While you wait, take in all the decorations, though if you have some condition of OCD, you might have a problem with the clutter and want to start arranging and organizing. I had to put my hands under my seat so as not to give in to my secret urges. The emphasis on the menu is tacos, as well as the hot dogs and lemonades. Two Hippies also can make any of the taco flavors into a burrito like the Red Beef ($5). The burritos are massive. If I had to guess, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d say they probably are close to a pound. They are loaded with tender red chile beef, rice and beans, and they fill you up big time. The Cheese Crisp with Chicken ($4.50) is also huge and fully packed with tender chicken, onion, guacamole, tomato and cabbage. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s much lighter than the burrito but still very filling. On another other visit I stuck with the tacos, ordering up the Taco 3 Pack ($5) and choosing fish, cactus and chicken. These tacos are massive, like all the food at Two Hippies. YouÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll never leave hungry. Interestingly, Two Hippies does not use corn tortillas, opting instead for the medium sized flour variety. I'm always leery about ordering fish since we live hundreds of miles from the closest ocean, and on one visit my instincts were spot on. The fish was so strong I could only manage a few bites, even with the delicious red salsa it couldn't help that poor fish. Although another visit revealed the fish to be spot on, flaky and mild, so the fish taco could be a crap shoot. The chicken taco was a chicken taco, good with a nice balance of veggies and meat. However my favorite was the cactus taco, tender sliced cactus topped with cabbage, onion, tomato, rice, beans and cilantro. The cactus had a delicate sweet flavor and with so many textures was a delight to chow. Beach House also serves up several different topped all beef hot dogs. I had the pleasure of trying the No. 6 ($3.75), which is pretty much the kitchen sink model. A soft squishy bun covered with pinto beans, cheese, jalapeos, mustard, ketchup, mayo and guacamole. Whew, this is like the daddy of all hot dogs. I think this could have been even a plain dog and I would have loved it. I'm not sure where they get their hot dogs, but the meat in this one was just so tasty, the toppings only added to my pleasure. There are eight other hot dogs that also piqued my interest like the No. 4 ($4) that has feta, pesto-mayo, bacon, tomato and onion and the No. 8 ($3.75), which is covered simply in guacamole. I had forgotten how much I enjoy a good hot dog, look out Costco! With 16 base flavors, the lemonades ($3) are a great way to to complete your meal. They use shaved ice so it's almost like having a slushy Ã¢â‚¬" complete with a brain freeze if you don't take your time. You can also combine different flavors to come up with your own custom lemonade flavor. The fun part is trying your different creations. Cherry and raspberry were nice and tart, but one combo was even better, the strawberry and peach. For me this almost had a creaminess from the round flavor of the peaches, this could be my signature drink on any upcoming visits if there weren't so many other choices. Two Hippies Beach House does a pretty good job of bringing the walk-up taco shack to Central Phoenix, and it certainly entices all sorts of people. So if you decide to check this place out and you see a big bear stuffing his face with a yummy hot dog or one of the cactus tacos, please feel free to say hi.

I have to agree with a number of other Yelpers who have commented that the food is rather lackluster at Two Hippies. The restaurant itself is very cool...stepping inside to order and waiting on the side porch and or back porch for your food is for a moment like being transported to Venice Beach or Mission Beach in Cali. But alas visions of California soon recede (and you snap back to the the fact that...damn...I am still in Phoenix) once you eat the food here. The portions for the taco's and burros are large but oh so bland. I had to drench a vegetarian burro I ordered with green sauce to get any flavor and even then it was still a bland meal. There are much better taco and burrito shops in downtown Phoenix (La Condesa Taco Shop is best I have been at in Phoenix so far...have to do a review soon) so look around and don't get sucked into Two Hippies just for the scenery.

There used to be a time when I would have given Two Hippies five stars, but their prices have gone up and quality has gone down (only slightly) since then. I am still enamored with their carne asada and cactus tacos, as well as with their ginormous tortas. For the minimal price and speedy service, it is a huge step up on the scale of "Mexican Fast Food." (I'm writing this review with the thoughts that Two Hippies can be judged alongside Taco Bell, Berto's and Del Taco as a more-or-less Americanized fast-food taco joint.) If you understand portion sizing, the portions are perfect. A torta could easily be split between two people (at least, two young women who aren't voraciously hungry. Men, you could probably get your own and finish it.) Two tacos with your choice of main filling plus cabbage, beans and rice is enough to fill you up pretty well. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and high quality. The cabbage is crunchy, the hot sauce has a nice kick, and the beans are seasoned perfectly. If you're looking for a sweet treat to go with your tacos or torta, take a sip of the prickly pear lemonade that they offer, or buy one of their "special brownies."

I am really impressed by this small place with great flavor. Cool vibe and genuinely friendly folks working. I got 3 tacos chicken, red beef and fried fish to-go - it gets a bit toasty in Phoenix this time of year. Food was flavorful, fresh and delicious. It was my first real 5 star to-go experience. Highly recommended.

I have lived in AZ for the past 12 years and visited 8 numerous times a year for 8 years before that. In all of my dining out experiences, Two Hippies is hands down one of my favorite spots in AZ. The food is not ridiculously gourmet, but it is delicious and you CAN'T beat the price! How many places can you get a filling, tasty meal for less than $10? Two Hippies has and will be one of my all time favorites.

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to check out a Two Hippies joint for quite some time, but it's usually after we just ate somewhere else. Today, we were out running errands and got hungry so decided to come here. I'm glad we did! I had the pesto-mayo/feta/etc hot dog. It was delicious, and they put two dogs in a bun, so it's a ton of food. I've been jonesing for a good hot dog ever since Maui Dog closed, and this will probably be a good replacement for it! They throw in a little bag of chips too, I got regular Sun Chips, but my boyfriend stole them from me. I also had a frozen lemonade, with passionfruit. First taste and it reminded me of another thing I miss dearly, Fruitopia! My boyfriend had just a plain hot dog. He got ketchup and mustard for it too. He enjoyed it, but I think he secretly liked my dog better. He got FunYuns as his chip choice, but regretted it so I ended up eating them. All in all, $10 spent on a good amount of food. You can BYOB there too, which is awesome. I think next time we go we'll be bringing some kind of drank. :)

I love this place. It's everything I look for when searching for local food joint. It's a little hole in the wall place with phenomenal food. The place gives off a great vibe with all the random artwork and cool posters hanging around. The staff/owners are great people with a great taste in food. I was recommended their shrimp tacos; I tried them and I am in love. But their homemade green chili tacos are to die for. Great place, great people, and amazing food!!!

We stopped in on a Friday night. Ordered 2 chicken tacos and nachos to split. The chicken tacos are big and tasty, the only thing is the chicken doesn't seem to be seasoned at all. Plus it was a little dry. The nachos were pretty good, again the chicken was flavorless and dry but the cheese made up for it, they were yummy.

Kurdy S.

My primal food instincts failed me today! Or was it their bright, colorful sign that mislead me?! It said "outrageous" and the joint itself had distinctive designs from the 70s that stood out like a sore thumb in this hoody part of 16th St. I usually research a place before trying but this was a random stop by with a risk level of safe. How could you go wrong with Tacos and Burritos, right? Well, it wasn't all that terrible but at the same time it lacked authenticity by miles. The interior decor was exactly what you would expect from a pot smoking hippie with posters of Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, and Bob Marley plastered literally every inch of the neon green interior walls and ceiling. I very much appreciated all the colorful details that was incorporated to express the character of the establishment. The design department deserved 5-stars for sure! Coming here, I was a bit hungry so I opted for their 3-pack tacos. Of the six toppings or so, I went with their Green Beef, Carne Asada, and Fish. The key attribute about their Tacos is their enormous size. As I was picking my order up, I seriously thought I was carrying back THREE burritos! I was overwhelmed with each taco as they were HEAVILY packed with chilled, diced cabbage and tomatoes. It was a one-to-three ratio of meat to vegetables, which explains the size and weight, right? They packed a fork and knife but I ate it true street style via hand. My eating experience was just a complete mess, literally. The abnormally massive size could not compensate for the quality. The shredded Green Beef was a little dry with simple Mexican flavors. I was hoping the Carne Asada would save the day, but still fell short. The tortilla was nothing special. It had a generic store taste to it than of an authentic hand made. I cannot review the Fish right now, as I took it back with me on the road. I was too full from the bland, uncreative flavors that one would have expected otherwise.

What a nice little treat . We stopped by the "Shack" to give the Hippies a try. We instantly enjoyed the decor and feel of the place. Quaintness abounds, funky posters, kitschy knick knacks and bright colors give it a groovy feel. While not someplace I would bring the whole family this is a good place to stop for a quick bite or a snack. This is not a sit down eating establishment , you go in place your order ( try the three taco combo) and then wait outside. There are picnic tables , stools and pub stools around the outside to sit at. It was a clear beautiful day so very nice. The hubby and I tried pork, chicken and beef tacos which were all fresh and tasty.Tacos and burritos were on fresh flour tortillas and had cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce and great spices. My husband also ordered a fish burrito which was ginormous and he swore it was over a pound . We also got cans of soda and ate all this for 11.00 not bad. No soda on tap. I must mention that the owner( ?) made us feel right at home and was super nice and even funny. His attitude was a big plus and made the eating more enjoyable. It was easy to see he enjoys his work .

Solid joint. Grabbed some green pork tacos for lunch and I was pretty happy with both the quality and portions. The preparation is simple and fresh, not overloaded with crap like some other taco joints. Ask for the green tomatillo salsa, its very good and went great with the green pork. My friends got burritos which were huge and a few other items which all followed suit in terms of quality and size. I will definitely head back for lunch. Cash only but they do have an ATM inside if you forget

The food here is awesome. So are the prices. Chad whom I see working there quite often is a pleasure to speak with and gets our food out quick! And who can forget the decor!? Quite busy and gaudy but in a very appealing, hippie-type manner. Eat at Two Hippies!

Tara J.

This is my favorite place for tacos in Phoenix, and now that I've moved away, I really, really miss it! For just $5 you can get 3 tacos of your choice -- tasty and filling! My husband can eat all 3, but I barely make it through 2. The best part is that they use cabbage instead of lettuce, so it makes the whole taco less soggy and more crunchy (though it's made on a soft tortilla). The ONLY downside is that they accept cash only (but they do have an ATM machine inside). I'm a casual girl from the NW, so if you're looking for a casual locale, cheap but good tacos, homemade smoothies, and a beer, head over to Two Hippies. Best in town!

I'm a big fan of small, non-chain, family-owned Mexican places in buildings that look like they've been here since the 60s. This place was clean, the personnel were kind folks and when I sank my teeth into the red beef taco, I told my Dad it was the best taco I've eaten. TONS of meat, the sauce was yummy and very affordable all around. I ended up buying 6 more just to take home and freeze for later! The patio out back is awesome, however I'd love to also sit out in the front and watch humanity go by. So we sat in the car instead. I'll totally be back!

A cup of Ice for $3! Are you Kiddin' me? Three tacos for $5 is a good deal! A can of Soda for $1 not a bad deal... But when you order the lemonade for $3, it's 95% crushed ice & comes with a cute little umbrella in the straw, well this part is a "rip off!" "Seriously! " I usually order differnt Tacos & they are good! All the ingredients are fresh...The fish, carne asada and chicken are my favorites. The green and red salsas are tasty. Also freshly made If I didn't feel so ripped off on the lemonade, & I've made this mistake several times, I would give this place Five Stars!

Well, I was gonna write a review of this DUMP but then I saw Aaron A's review and think it'd be better just to re-post his horrible review!!! (how's that for a first line of a review, Aaron A?) "... I would not step back in this place for a taco. Fatty pork is fine, if its cooked nicely, but this was not. Green beef was ok, as long as I piled the pretty good tomatillo salsa over it. The fish...let's leave it at ugh. If this is their specialty, it's over already. (no more lines waiting, I see that much...) "This is Sunnyslope, and with the authentic delicious taco and burrito choices around here, this place is only competing with the tacos across the street at Jack in the Box, and I would probably eat those before I'd touch another one of these, it was that bad for me. "SORRY HIPPIES. THIS WASN'T GOOD. IF YOU ARE GOING TO COME INTO A MEXICAN PART OF TOWN YOU'D BETTER BRING THE MEAT TO COMPETE. YOU ARE FAR OUTCLASSED IN TACOLAND." (Bold mine) "So, after some thought I decided rather than just pan the place, I'm giving suggestions: 1. use a paper or wax paper between the aluminum and taco, or you have a mess. 2. do something with that too cold cabbage/cheese/tomato 3. grill the fish and don't smother it / chop it up. make sure its fresh. 4. get a better cut of pork, go organic (maybe it is), season it better 5. keep the happy people in front, they were nice 6. don't blend your lemonade with ice, it was awful and too sweet 7. quit buying your chips at Costco, those round ones suck 8. do something with the guacamole, it was ok just being avocado and lime, but it was pureed. keep it chunky. 9. get more input from your mexican chefs, they probably know what is wrong 10. Both the red and green salsas were good, just need a taco to go with it" ------------ BE SURE TO LOOK FOR ALL THE FLIES THEY HAVE IN THE KITCHEN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. Ugh. HORRIBLE FOOD.

This place is so amazing, thier tacos are out of this world. my favorite is the fish and cactus taco, they do not have it on the menu, but fish and cactus are and they happily conjoin them. Thier fish is SO fresh, that if it was any fresher you would slap them.

The fish tacos are out of control, truly outrageous. The only thing lacking here is beer but you can bring your own if you choose.

this is one of my favorite taco places. they have raised the price a little bit and reduced the size..which sucks. I always leave happy although my last visit I tried a crab taco that simply just didn't agree with me but my chicken and fish tacos...always delicious.

I had dinner Wednesday night at J&G Steakhouse and dinner Saturday at T-Cook's. In between, I had dinner at Two Hippies. I enjoyed a pork burrito stuffed with meat, cabbage, cheese, rice and beans. The burrito was huge and tasted great. It actually started to fall apart at the end because it was filled so full and that was all right with me. Including a can of coke, the total cost was $6. That was my cheapest dinner out last week by a mile!

I tried the 3 tacos for $6 deal and ordered a soda in the can. Ordering was easy enough and I got my food pretty fast out the back window. I might not have known about the rear delivery system if I had not already wondered by it earlier. I received my tacos, but my soda was missing when they called my name. I mentioned it to very friendly lady that delivered my food and she promptly got it for me. I ordered a green meat, a red meat and a chicken taco. All three tacos came individually wrapped in foil and came in a brown paper bag. It also came with both green and red sauces. All three came with soft flour tortilla wrappings. I am not a fan of flour tortillas for tacos because I usually prefer the street style with corn tortillas. The tables also had El Pato Sauce and another hot sauce for your pleasure, although I am not sure they keep them refrigerated? The flavor, temperature, and the taste of the meat tacos were fine. I was surprised to find beans in all 3 tacos, but they added nice texture and flavor. The green and red meat tacos were pretty good, but did not stand out as something that I would crave on a Saturday night after a few brews. The chicken taco had huge cubes of white chicken meat. The chicken drowned out the other flavors in the taco (actually too much chicken). Overall, a pretty cool eclectic place that I would try again.

First time - and will not be our last!!!! Great fun vibe - felt like I was on vacation! The food was fantastic and the service was great as well.

Store bought cheddar cheese on a fish taco? What is this? 1990's Des Moine? We've come too far as a dining public to have to put up with these conveniently concocted impostors. Also, the "Sonoran dog" was less Sonora and more hippie haberdashery. Both items, the fish taco and hot dog, were decent. It was just their bastardization of these two original classics that got to me. They were so far from the originals that they shouldn't have shared the same name. The place is alright, the prices reasonable, and the ambiance relaxed. A nice place to include in the lunch mix, given you work in the area.

I would love to love this place, support my local economy and all that Jazz but I just can't. The staff is always extremely friendly and I love the beach shack in the middle of Phoenix. Problem is, the food just isn't very good. The only thing more bland than the carne asada is the chicken. I've had mexican food in Minnesota and I'm pretty sure it had more character than this local gem. Sorry Two Hippies, you have a solid concept going but your menu needs a serious overhaul.

You and everyone else that I have given second chances to are very lucky, Two Hippies. Because there are no thirds in my book. As I like to say, two and you blew gots ter goo. So. My first try of your wares was on a Friday night after Bikram's (I wanted to try this thing that fellow yogi, Donald S. calls "retoxify") and I was not impressed with what I ordered, but I did achieve retoxification. The fish tacos were "fishy" and their wasn't much flavor going for them or the rice. Now, class may have been harsh that night, but the second time around at Two Hippies was WAY better. I had the burrito this time, with black beans and the green beef. Ho' yeah! That hit the spot, and I was plenty full and happy, no sides needed. And mama got her suga fix with those delish Shirley Temples they have. It was so sweet I had to get a refill. Mmmph! Service was great both times, so no complaints about that! I love the look and feel of Two Hippies. It is like TGIF on all sorts of hallucinogenic drugs. Last night, Rada and I were looking all about as we waited on our food. Somehow we started comparing the cacti in the planters to penis sizes of my *ahem* men. So if you are one of those men, and ever read this review, which I highly doubt you will, there has been a cactus categorized as the size of your member out there in those potters someplace... But seriously, this place is so quirky! I look like I belong in here (picture to follow soon), I did grow up near the Haight-Ashbury, something probably rubbed off on me at some point, no? Have you ever seen how I dress when I'm not at an OYE? Distinctly Grunge-Bohemianish. And this is why I purposely don't let you see me outside of said events...

If Castle boutique and camelback were not at the front door I would have never known that I was in Phoenix. Seems like something right out of Baja. This place reminds me of some of the dive places that I have been in Mexico on the beach. So if you are looking for Fast Food at reasonable prices that tastes great you should check it our. Best part is that you don't need the Imodium after the meal like in Mexico. The day that I went had a green chicken taco special and I hope that stays one the menu. I liked it much better then the bean and cheese or carne asada taco. They also have a great selection of lemonade with flavors that I have never heard. Make sure to bring cash... that is all they take!

So much hype for such terrible results. Tacos were incredibly soggy, they had a lot of mismatched sauces that didn't compliment anything, and all of their meat is flavorless. Three tacos for 6 bucks is a deal, but I would rather go to Tacobell and get something crunchy and at least seasoned appropriately for the money. Not a lot of vegetarian options unless you like eating straight up cheese. Seriously, I would never go back.

This place was really not that good. I was sad...I was hoping for something delicious and spicy and authentic - being that the decor was hip and the location convenient. The price was good.

This is the kind of fun and funky place that you just want to like. Tiny, so going at unusual times (like later at night) is a bonus to get a seat. They seem to be known for their fish tacos, but that's probably my least favorite thing on the menu. The fish is peppered and not my taste. However, the pork taco was terrific! The kids had burritos with whole beans, great cabbage and tomatoes. YUM. And grape lemondade. Sounds a little weird, but it was very refreshing and makes you feel like a kid again :-) And with all the trippy decor, it's just part of the ride. Next time I'll try the hot dogs. Seriously - the guy behind us got a hot dog with feta and bacon!! Again, sounds a little wacky, but I can't find anything wrong with bacon and feta, so how wrong could they be on a hot dog?

it looked really interesting when i saw it, and the place we decided to go eat on a sunday was closed, so we went to try Beach house because it was right down the road. Upon getting there the place is really confusing, so after walking around it, we found the place to order, on the West side of the building. I got their chipotle pork burro special. It was huge but the majority of it was veggies and rice, i felt jacked. there was a real chipotle chili inside the burro so that was really cool the peach lemonade was delicious with lemon twists in it at as well. I'd come back but it isn't the best of mexican food i've had.

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with this place. I'd heard it was fantastic and when I arrived there was a long line of people waiting to get their order in...it must be good, right? I tried 3 tacos: Red Beef, Cactus with Cheese, Bean with Cheese. The Red Beef was probably the best one, but still not that great...it had some bite and the beef was tender, but it still could have been seasoned better. The cactus wasn't very good - it really wasn't seasoned and so it didn't have any flavor...at least the cactus wasn't overcooked. The bean and cheese was probably my least favorite since it really didn't taste like anything. I even tried one of their "Magic Brownies" (this one with cream cheese) and that wasn't very good either - it tasted like it had been wrapped in plastic and absorbed all those chemically plastic flavors...maybe it was older brownie? All the tacos arrived wrapped and they look kind of awkward and wet (because of the steam) and definitely messy when you try to eat them. Just overall, not very good...I'm sure there are a ton of places in Phoenix that have better, more flavorful food.

Go 2 hippies! Love the chicken quesadilla, well cooked and I will be back next weekend, while waiting for my child to finish piano lesson? Hungry for healthy....and great taste ...2 hippies, sssssooooooo worth it

Tabatha R.

My favorite thing about all of the Two Hippies restaurants is the lemonades. They are so fantastic. I love the beach house specifically because I love that I can sit outside on the eclectic deck and eat my tasty beach food. I love the chicken quesadillas here, I could probably eat about six of them in one sitting, just because they taste so darn good. The staff is awesome and funny. My advice, though: Do not come to this specific location on a school day around 3:00. All of the Xavier students are just getting out of school and SWAMP this place. It's already extremely crammed in the front of the building. Do not put yourself in a crammed building with 25 15-year old school girls... it is extremely hard to move.

I am embarrassed to admit that this was my first visit to Two Hippies. Horrible, I know. I'm happy to say that my experience went exactly as expected. The food was pretty tasty and the atmosphere was...well, it was very "Two Hippiesish". I liked the place. The green chicken taco was flavorful and delicious. The guy taking my order was helpful...especially considering I was a Two Hippies virgin. Our food came out quickly and we were in and out within half an hour. I will definitely be back to try it out again soon.

So I go out today to find the 2 Hippies magic mushroom and a client tells me there is another 2 Hippies, that just "popped up over night" WELL I had to try it. After driving by, I finally parked in the lot and took a survey of the building. 1. Nice outdoor patio 2. Clean and New 3. Small 4. Looked packed So I walk in and there was 3 patrons. 2 young guys and 1 US Senator. Yep that is right, a full fledged Senator. Don't ask who because I cannot remember. So the 3 people made the place looked packed. I told you it was small. I was greeted right away by the owner. He is a really nice guy who cares about the food he serves. We spoke about the recent call his wife received from DINERS DRIVE INS AND DIVES. She asked the caller to not pull her husbands leg, because he is a huge fan and it would be a thrill to be on the show. The DDD reviewers spotted 2 Hippies via YELP! She explained he has a 4 star rating and tons of reviews. He was unaware of Yelp but took it as a compliment. ( I bet he looks today) HI! The food is a healthy Mexican food menu. I sampled the taco trio of fish, beef and chicken. All 3 where wonderful, you sure can taste freshness. The favorite was the fish. $5 with a Coke. The other items are quesidillas, burritos, tacos, etc. I tried both the red and the green salsa. The red is boring and the green is good. Neither of them will make you burn your mouth. He is tweaking the salsa so be sure to rate it if it gets better. I will return when in the area FO SHO. Well the return was on 10-7-08. I had the taco trio constisting of green beef taco, carne asada taco and red chile taco. They were all good but the green was the best of the 3. The salsa needs a makeover. I was hoping for a better flavor this time. The green is good but sweet, the red is bad. Maybe a little "mexican" in it wouldn't be bad. Do not go here expecting greasy, gut buster, cheese covered everything MEXICAN food. Go here expecting a healthier, fresh tasting meal. The food is prepared by a fat white guy and cooked by a Mexican guy. (not that that matters, my mom-in-law makes killer mexican food and she is white)

I went here with a friend for some food to go and had a good experience. I got the pork torta and my friend got 3 tacos, one chicken, one fish, and one steak. My torta was okay, the pork seemed extremely salty though, i wouldn't order it again. My friend who got the tacos was more than pleased and stoked that they were baja style. He only ate 2 and i ate the steak one the next day which was still super delicious!

Think Dinty Moore canned roast beef...just like my mom used to make it for movie night at Town & Country's AMC. She'd make it with a can of Ortega diced green chilis, diced onions but this version adds cabbage and tomatoes. And all for $4. Love it. Before you go off on it, remember how much you're paying for this burro! Four bucks. You haven't had it this good since you had medium pizzas for "regular price, four bucks, four bucks, four bucks." I ordered the beans and rice on the side (they're normally served inside the burro), so I got to taste the sticky Spanish rice seasoned with chili powder on its own. The whole beans were pretty good too. Great as a side dish; so _glad_ I ordered them on the side. You can even take one of the bottles of habanero sauce to the table to impress and double dare your friends! I have to agree with others' comments on the "homemade" lemonade. Like the beef burro It also took me straight back to my childhood, remembering sugary (think corn syrupy) Freezees at Circle-K. Definitely not fresh (except for the wedge of lime which was dry) but oh so memorable. Don't forget the success of tiny Lenny's burgers at 15th Ave. Hippies pops at lunch being so close to the Brophy and Xavier campus. Great value, and location location location. I hope it's in the running for a permanent spot on the "square" (7th St to Ave, Camelback to McDowell). Yea! Can't wait to try their special shrooms at the other location.

My friend always wanted to try this Two Hippies. It was horrible. We did not get what we ordered, not sure what it was but we know what it wasn't. We ordered the special tea and when the guy brought it to us he said " we ran out", it was more expensive that the regular tea and we were not offered any kind of refund. Waste of time and money.

Blech. Had the fish tacos, they tasted of fish that had been bottom feeders that had been frozen, thawed, refrozen and then thawed again before cooking. i.e. mushy and not the best. They were cheap though....

This places goes a good job in terms of appearance; a colorful memorable place in the middle of a desert city. It really stands out on Camelback as a unique tourist stop and I've always wanted to stop by. Well, many visits later and with many other people. I really like coming here for the food and convenience of easy entrance and exit. I order the same tacos all the time. Although my food choise is very limited, it does taste consistent. The tacos are a bit on the salty side. The ingredients used are natural and a cabbage tasted like a cabbage; doesn't have any of those voodoo science chemicals or extenders or enhancers, like at those corporate chain places.... Each 2 Hippie Place in Phoenix seems to have it's own theme of in terms of menu focus; this place being Tacos and Mexican food and a very low price... This place's food offering does meet my expectation. A low key, relax place to enjoy your food. The product design of the place says it's ok to have food that is not the most spectacular. A salty taco is not a disappointment to me at a place like this, although it will be at a place like Ticos.... I like the fact that they have a very focused menu selection which I think is a strength for a business(like INNOut). If I wanted hamburgers, I can go their other "Hippy" spot a block way. But I like to see the place surprise me by possible making some improvements on their focused menu by refining their food taste. The place looks more slightly attractive than the food...Form over Function...

Okay, I'm a firm believer in three strikes you're out. I gave it two tries, but I couldn't even stomach a third time at this place. God!!!! I sooooooo wanted to love this little quirky place that reminded me of the beach stands in the few remaining un-yuppified beach towns in California. Well, the atmosphere is there, right down to the funny guys that work the place. Food is pretty much like music for me, I like all music and I like all food. I can pretty much find something good in every meal....but not so today. I take that back...the salsa verde was some of the best I have had. First try there....wet soggy flavorless fish tacos. This weekend, I sent my hubby down for a couple of burritos (recommended by yelp reviewers actually), I knew it was a gamble, and I wanted to be able to give a good review, so I picked something everyone said was consistently good. The green beef burrito. Hubby had a hot dog of some sort. Little had a bean, cheese and rice burrito. We were 0 for 0. My burrito....so cold the cheese didn't melt, so big it couldn't even fold and so wet the tortilla melted. I don't know if it was so disturbing to eat that I couldn't taste it, or if it just had none. My husband's hot dog grossed me out just at presentation. He started to make something else and I said, well at least try it, he did and he had to choke it down. Little has NEVER turned down a bean and cheese but she took one bite and never looked back. I want places like this to stick around so bad I'm tempted to print out these reviews and mail them to them. I'm on a bad review streak. Gotsta find some good eats soon, maybe Golden Buddah for lunch will turn me around!

I was out running errands when I got hungry and decided to take a shot on Two Hippies Beach House. I pulled in and almost hit a crack head who walked in front of my car with two Phoenix Police Officers as witnesses to this mishap. After waiting for said crack head to skitter away, I got out of my car and approached the line. One of the officers said to me "Good brakes!" Whew! For my lunch, I decided on a fish burro sans cilantro and a peach lemonade. I was thankful for the cash I had in my wallet as they do not accept plastic of any form. I only had to wait for about 5 minutes for my food to be done and I was on my way home. I unwrapped my burro and took a huge bite. Hmm... nothing too amazing, just ok. First off. I DISLIKE when restaurants don't warm the tortilla that they make burros with and yes, this Blatina can tell the difference. Second, the burro was FULL of cabbage and not a lot of fish. The salsa was good and flavorful so I used a lot of it to flavor the burro and it brought some good spice to the burro. Overall it was just ok. Nothing amazing and nothing I would crave. The real winner was the peach lemonade that comes in slushy form. Yum! I would visit Two Hippies again to try their other offerings. The price is good, and the food is ok.

Black bean taco. $2. Better than any/every burrito I've had in Manhattan since I moved, but not as good as some of the other hotspots here in the Phoenix metro area. We went before First Fridays, and the patio was super cute all lit up at the nighttime. Our server had a delightful conversation with us about Shark Week, which, you know. Good good stuff.

Wes N.

Seeing the word "hippies" in the restaurant name had me stoked, as them tree-huggin hippie types got to have some vegetarian food, right? Yep. I walked up to the lil window and asked about the veggie options, the guy behind the counter informed me that they have a cactus burrito and that it was one of his favorites. Score! Or so I thought... Upon receiving the large, heavily stuffed burrito, I bit in with high hopes. Those hopes quickly dissipated as I found that the innards of the burrito were primarly COLD. The cactus pieces were cold, the cheese wasn't melted at all. The only thing that had a bit of warmth were the beans, which weren't even hot, they were luke warm. Sorry guys, but a cold burrito isn't going to cut it. Make that cactus, beans and rice HOT in your burritos if you want some customers. Melt the friggin cheese in there, don't leave it ice cold.

I am actually writing a review for Two Hippies Magical Mushroom burgers... Yelp says it is closed..... it has reopened... with the original owners... I ate there on Saturday for the first time.... the food was fantastic... the service wonderful... the owner took great care of us..... the burgers and tater tots were delicious... i will return... i hope Yelp figures out it has reopened because you don't want to miss eating there....$6 for a burger, tater tots and drink... they have yummy toppings to choose from.... everything is fresh and piping hot... and they take credit cards... guess i will try this place next if it is as good as the burger place!

Rachael C.

I came in for a quick bite to eat after my sister told me they had good tacos and burritos and vegetarian-friendly. I thought I'd try a variety and order one fish, one cactus and one veggie/bean. First strike? I got attitude for a asking a few questions and asking that they leave the cheese and sour cream off. Then after ordering I realized they use flour tortilla (listed NO WHERE on the board) and asked that they use corn tortilla instead of their flour since I am gluten-free. Ok, whatever. I get it. I am complicated and so are my orders. This isn't new. Second strike? They were slower than hell! Their fish tacos were delicious. Oh so messy and oh so yummy. But the cactus tacos? It was just OK. And the black bean taco? Not so much. It was bland and dry. Maybe I just had high-expectations for a Taco joint in Phoenix? I'd try them again just for their fish tacos if I was nearby, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

Sunny Joy B.

I am a wee bit obsessed with here. Ive only eaten one thing and it's the fish taco. I eat one bc one is enough. One time I came very late right before closing and some of the rice was hard and I almost threw up but I still like this place.

Amber G.

I was disappointed in my last visit, I had the 3 tacos ( carne asada and red beef). The carne asada was really bad...tons of fat and grissle, I was only able to take 3 bites and I could not do no more. The red beef had good flavor, the problem was that the meat is cooked in a broth, so when they put it in the taco the whole tortilla was soaked and falling apart..I ended up having to pick at it with a fork. My husband had a carne asada burrito..again the meat was not good and he did not like the cabbage ..it looked old and tasted old. The service was solid and there are other things that I like about the place...but they need some quality control..who wants to eat fatty carne asada and soggy tacos??? Two hippies if you are out there reading this..please...address some of these issues, I really want to come back.

David S.

I am a big fan of their Taco special - 3 for 6 bucks. Initially I was disappointed the first time I came here because they did not have fried tacos. I tried the chicken tacos and they were huge and I got full on one taco. Took two home and fried them in a pan later that night to reheat them. Fresh they are great, fried at home for left overs they ROCK! Fun decor and a real laid back atmosphere. I am just here for the winter so it was very comfy, in the summer it has to be hell as most their seating is outside. Don't miss this one, you cant cook this cheap! Great eats and very friendly staff.

Delicious eclectic place where you are easily swept away by the cheesy music (Copacabana a la Barry Manillo was playing when we arrived) and yummy food. Ordered the fish burrito which was good and only made better with the salsa provided by Two Hippies. Make sure you bring cash... they are no longer taking credit cards at this place.

I was out running a couple of errands last week and a friend called and suggested lunch at Two Outraged Hippies Taco's and Beach something:) I hadn't been to a Two Hippies for a couple of years...I think it was their burger joint...that one didn't make much of an impression on me either way :-I But I thought to myself...well, I like lunch:) And, I like taco's:) And I was a hippie of the first water back in my day (which, BTW, means that it's no longer "My Day", sadly:( But I'm not thrilled by Two Hippies taco's:( I got dos taco's...a chicken and a carne asada, along with a can of soda pop...the people taking my $5.00 cash were very nice (and they were trying to dress up like hippies or something, too!...too adorable for words:) I didn't get fish taco's...experience (the kind gained through trial and many, many errors)...has taught me that the only place that I really like to get fish tacos, is from one of the beach palapa's in Bahia de Navidad...where the panga's pull right up on the sand...the fishermen jump out and hand the cook in the palapa a red snapper or dorado or something else with fins...they clean it, cut it up, grill it, throw some lettuce and homemade salsa on it and it's a taco about 30 minutes after it quit swimming:) Those are pretty good fish taco's...esp. washed down with a cerveza or three:)...I don't remember the name of the place...probably "taco de playa" or something...just walk down the beach...you can't miss it:) 10 pesos each for the taco's, 25 pesos a pop for the cerveza...it's a very good deal:)...BTW, that doesn't include round-trip first class airfare or the Governors Suite at the Grand Bay:) No beach at 5th and Camelback:( But, I digress:) I liked the service and the price (and I really appreciate the staff trying to look like hippies for me...really...a blast from past:) I really didn't care for the food, itself...outrageous has a number of different connotations, depending on context...but I didn't find the taco's "outrageous" in any sense of the word:) Although nowhere near as bad as Skip & Jan's attempt at taco's, the hippies taco's leave more than a bit to be desired...the carne asada was dry, stringy, bland, and the salsa they give you in the little plastic cups didn't really improve things. So I tried the chicken taco and found it to be dry, stringy, bland, and the salsa they gave...! Hey wait a minute...did they just give me two of the same thing and try to call them something different?!?!?... That would be so like the hippies I knew back in the `60's and `70's:-)...always stoned, never quite sure what they were doing...so much fun to watch:) But no, they gave me carne asada and chicken...the taco's just looked and tasted very much alike (the chicken was somewhat whiter, but other than that...not much difference:( In Phoenix, a city with so many options for getting my taco fix, even the nostalgia for times long gone (and thankfully so...can you imagine a world in which all we want to do is sit around all day, get high, and make love...not war...where would we all be? :-) can't make up for these lackluster offerings:( There are tons of better taco shop's...many of which don't even require the plane ride and hotel stay:)

Bland, uninspired, mushy. I had 2 fish and 1 bean taco. The beans were good - the rest of the tacos, not so much! They were kind of slopped together. No fountain drinks - cans and bottles only. So much for being eco-friendly hippies.

I went in expecting a very nice fish taco, but the porridge/mush that passed for fish was fishy and nasty... how's that for the start of a review? Ok, the place is nicely enough furnished if you think a la chuy's or chipotle's metal furnishings but with more crap on the walls. It's clean, the people were pleasant and nice and the counter service fine. The wife ordered a hotdog, i'm sure she'll review that. I wasn't impressed. But let's get to the rest of the food. I ordered the 3 pack of tacos for $5. Ok price. Green beef, pork and fish. All of them came wrapped in aluminum foil with sticky but cold flour tortillas and the same mess of cabbage, tomato and white and yellow cheese. All were freezing cold which made the meat luke warmish. They were all a miss for me. I would not step back in this place for a taco. Fatty pork is fine, if its cooked nicely, but this was not. Green beef was ok, as long as I piled the pretty good tomatillo salsa over it. The fish...let's leave it at ugh. If this is their specialty, it's over already. This is Sunnyslope, and with the authentic delicious taco and burrito choices around here, this place is only competing with the tacos across the street at Jack in the Box, and I would probably eat those before I'd touch another one of these, it was that bad for me. Sorry, hippies. This wasn't good. If you are going to come into a Mexican part of town you'd better bring the meat to compete. You are far outclassed in taco land. So, after some thought I decided rather than just pan the place, I'm giving suggestions: 1. use a paper or wax paper between the aluminum and taco, or you have a mess. 2. do something with that too cold cabbage/cheese/tomato 3. grill the fish and don't smother it / chop it up. make sure its fresh. 4. get a better cut of pork, go organic (maybe it is), season it better 5. keep the happy people in front, they were nice 6. don't blend your lemonade with ice, it was awful and too sweet 7. quit buying your chips at Costco, those round ones suck 8. do something with the guacamole, it was ok just being avocado and lime, but it was pureed. keep it chunky. 9. get more input from your mexican chefs, they probably know what is wrong 10. Both the red and green salsas were good, just need a taco to go with it.

I love two hippies! The atmosphere is really chill and the food is always good. I always get the bean and cheese burrito minus the onions and its fantastic, it always falls apart at the end but great non the less. The staff have always been friendly to me and you can tell the boss appreciates his staff as well as his customers.

Yuck. The chicken in my tacos was dry and tasteless. The lemonade was pricey and tasted like Countrytime powder. The people that were eating here apparently thought they were awesome, and I was not, so they gave me the stinkeye the entire time I was there. Came here on a friend's suggestion. Was definitely not impressed. Bad food, bad clientele...not coming back ever again.

Not bad for a couple of white guys opening up a Mexican joint! I guess the words Mexican and joint back-to-back can be misleading! So I'll rephrase that with Hippie style restaurant with a hint of Mexican food. They definitely have Mexicans in the kitchen cooking so you can trust this place knows what they are doing at least! These Hippie are kinda smart :) The concept is different than what you would normally expect (but the name of this place should shine some light and give an environmental foreshadow) and the food is "far out, man!" Being Mexican myself, it's got my approval. The inside where you place your order gets crowded and is a small little area. The service is pretty good, they claim all the ingredients are "organic" and it does taste mighty yummy! Their fruit drinks are excellent too! The price is above average in comparison I think but bearable I guess. ***The Bafroom: GOOD LUCK if you find yourself having the urge to use the restroom for anything! This is an outdoor eating environment and I didn't see any restrooms anywhere so no review on this. If you can correct me on this and lead me to my ultimate destination, please do and I will update this at a later date. In the meantime, better have some wet naps or Purell to sanitize your hands if you're a germ freak!

I REALLY wanted to like this place. The cute cashier boy and the fun little stand was a great start; however, the tacos were another story. I ordered the fish taco and the carna asada taco with green chile. My tortillas were falling apart from the grease and from the large quantity of the meat, cheese, and cabbage. That was not too bad but the flavor or the tacos were just plain salty. So salty that I really couldn't enjoy the beef in my taco. I tried the fish taco and the fish was "sick" as in not well, and ill. That's what I call fish when they have this fishy smell that's beyond the normal fish smell. I know my fish, trust me (I'm Asian okay) and the fish in my taco was just not right. Granted the tacos were cheap and the quantity was large; however, I rather pay more and eat a fish taco that is "not sick."

If you have a longish lunch hour, go. I went around 5pm tonight and there was nobody in front of me. Took me 5 minutes to get my fish burrito (Thanks to Chris T for the recommendation!) It was HUGE and came with a little cup of two salsas: green and red. I cut it in half to enjoy the salsas separately. Filled to the brim with rice, cheese, beans and the fish and smothered in some sort of sauce, it was delicious! Service was super-friendly and everyone had a smile on their face and said "Amy, your fish burrito is ready!" I mean, the personalized service was great. Maybe hitting them at a slow hour was what did it. There is a little retail spot where you can get incense (they're hippies, get it???) and posters on the wall to peruse while waiting. I took mine home, but the patio is lovely. There's even a vintage bike parked out front with little baskets filled with potted plants. How adorable is that????

I'm writing this review today without having read any previous reviews of this place. I did not seek it out, rather stopped in for lunch today because my girlfriend had been here many times and suggested it. To start with, I don't throw 5 stars out there very often. Actually, I don't think anyone does. However, this place is such a little gem I believe that it deserves high marks for the service they offer. My girlfriend and I each got a chicken taco and a carne asada taco. Let me just say that the portions alone, for 2 bucks a pop, are more than average. Add on top of that, the fact that they come stacked with rice and beans and loads of cheese and you've got a great bargain. I will say that I did not enjoy the chicken taco quite as much as I did the carne asada, which means I will probably just stick with the latter in the future. I had the privilege of meeting the owner as he stopped by our table to talk with us a bit about some of the changes he's made (more shade on the patio, misting system, etc.) and the newest addition to his restaurants, a breakfast joint, which he says will open sometime in mid July 09 and seat around 100. This is good news, I think, because there is not much seating here or at his burger joint. And although, they have no problem packing them in, even during these hard times, he was very grateful to be doing so well and hoped to see us again. He was very pleasant to talk to and also very accessible. So let's talk about the service itself. You might think that a little dive place like this, selling $2 tacos (or 3 for $5) might just want to take your order and push you on through like cattle, trying to serve as many people as possible with very little personality or courtesy. That could not be further from reality here. The kid taking our order at the register apologized for blinking too much, saying that the grill was kicking out a little more smoke than usual. Another kid who brought our tacos outside to us was very polite, to the extent of saying thank you for coming and how they appreciate our business. Now c'mon, these are just kids. Usually you would expect quite the opposite but we felt very welcome. The menu consisted of all sorts of tacos, burritos and even hot dogs. It seems they had an extensive assortment of lemonades, as well but we chose sodas. Parking is limited. The order comes out very quickly and for all of this, I love this place and will be returning. It's great to have a restaurant like this that is locally owned, very easy on the wallet AND the food is delicious! I would encourage anyone to stop in and see for themselves. Maybe we'll see ya there!

If I could rate this place as a zero I would. I ordered a peach lemonade (the drink was tasty) and three fish tacos. From all the good reviews from this joint, it makes you wonder if people even have taste buds. The price was $5 and some change for the tacos, good portion size if you are hungry. But the fish tasted borderline foul, maybe they were trying to get rid of old fish. Don't know, definitely would not recommend. Be sure to bring the vomit bag if you order this dish. I hate to give a crappy opinion, but I was craving some good fish tacos hoping to find that diamond in the ruff. This is not....

This place always has such a long line during the lunch rush, I figured that must mean something. It does. It means it takes a long time for them to take your order. I don't get what all the long lines are about. I love the decor and the uniqueness of a beach fish taco stand in Phoenix, I really do. Especially since it's walking distance from my apartment. But one fish and one chicken taco later, I didn't get it. They tasted like tacos I could have made at home with tilapia, store bought cheese, and store bought shredded lettuce and tortillas. I was very disappointed. I haven't been back since. I'd be willing to go back to try one of their fruit smoothies which people do rave about, but not for the food by any means.

My fish tacos arrived in cold, store-bought, flour tortillas. Enough said.

Two Hippies. Mmmm. Gringo-tastic tacos in a tie-dyed universe. Chased by brownies. Get it? Hippies? Brownies? Why are no Mexicans eating here? No Jose in line behind me. No matter. Tacos are cheap. And lard-free. And you get them in brown bags like old school lunchtime. Memories. Green and red chili beef may harken Christmas but not as cheery. Something missing. But not too bad. Substantial portion size well appreciated. But chicken. Oh the chicken. So healthy. White meat. Bereft of evil saturated fats. But so bland. And dry. Just sitting there sad on a corn tortilla. But not to worry. Go out back, where a Transformer lies waiting among the pina colada umbrellas. For there, on a tray, Sriracha. Sriracha? Sriracha. Who eats Sriracha on tacos? I guess I do today. And so does half of the Phoenix Fire Department and real estate marketers Biff and Landon who look eerily like Lerner & Rowe. Venue: A beach shack. Like somewhere in OB. But not really. No beach here. Just miles of car dealerships. And second rate furniture stores. Therefore, kind of a lie. But I let that go. Also? An impossible destination for the westbound traveler at 4 in the afternoon. For eastbound drivers on Camelback are infinite. Beware. Or you will have long loud conversations with yourself in the center turn lane. So have a taco here. Or three. While The Byrds and Stealers Wheel provide you musical accompaniment. And feel good that your arteries are staying open. Felipe and Maria may not be sitting at the next table. But no worries. More brownies and lemonade for you. 3 stars.

Great food, great atmosphere, excellent service, and amazing prices -- what more could you ask for? You don't just dine at Two Hippies Beach House, you experience it. What are you waiting for..? Get to it, and while you're there, try out one of their delicious hot dogs or tacos, which are second to none!

Delicious cheap food. It is a "take-it-to-go" place so plan accordingly. The food is remarkably filling as well.

Sorry, don't agree with most of ya yelpers on this place. I wanted to stop by this place for awhile, so Sunday I took the trip down here to see what some of the fuss was all about. Cheap good food drew me in, and I'm a sucker for fish tacos. I drove up to this place thinking yes, this does look like a hippies house, with all the misc. crap placed all over the walls, ceilings and windows. I wouldn't say it had much of the beach vibe I think they were going for, or maybe it's just me, I have lived most of my life in San Diego and near the Beach, and most little beach shacks I've been to have a different vibe to them. On the board it said something like famous fish taco's or something like that. I thought oh yes then, got to try those.. I really don't know why I insist to challenge my gut feeling of "don't order the fish taco's, your in the middle of the freakin desert, there is no ocean for hundreds of miles", but no.. I had to order them. Taco's were cheap, like $2 a piece. The guy working at the counter that took our order was super friendly, he took the time to ask us how are day was going and what have we been up to and stuff. We waited about five minutes and our order was up. While waiting I was looking around at all the mess that was placed everywhere, and was wondering how this tied into there "theme". And I wonder how long it's been since this place has gotten a good scrub, or at least a dusting??? OK, our order was up, and we sat in the back on some picnic benches. It was hot, but they did have a huge fan that made it bearable to sit back there. We opened up our fish taco's and noticed, wow these are huge! They piled all sorts of stuff in there.. cabbage, rice, ton's of cheese, fish, some sort of secret sauce, all on a flour, kinda thick shell (taste like the mission brand). Grabbed the taco with both hands and bit into the taco. Blahhhh, it was the fish.. Oh man, the fish killed it.. taste so fishy and soggy it was gross. Next, don't ask me why I did it, but I thought I'd try it again. So I poured the red hot sauce they had given on it and tried it again.. Blahhhh, gross, gross, gross. The sauce didn't help at all. There sauce had no heat to it, and the fish was just as bad as the first bite. I had bought two taco's, and looked in back of me, and there were two guys in there 20's macking down on taco's, and I offered them our taco's we didn't eat. They said, no man.. where good. So I couldn't even give these away for free.. We drove off grossed out, and I had this fishy taste in my mouth for about 20 minutes before I had to stop and get something else to eat to get the taste out. Soda wasn't doing the trick. I remember saying to my husband in the car driving off, I don't feel good, I think I'm going to puke.. really my stomach hurt, and in no way do I have a sensitive stomach. Like others had said, I really did want to like this place, but no way I'll ever ever return. Sorry..

Well... I'm not sure what happened, or what is outrageous. Okay, the first time I visited this place... carne asada burrito was pretty tasty. The fish tacos, were... you know, fish tacos. Reasonably priced, reasonably good. Plus good drink. Good enough to make a visit #2, and bring a few people with me. HOWEVER, visit #2... I must say, it is not reasonable to have your salivary glands dry up after a bite of fish taco, or chicken taco. In sum... some items here are outrageously salted and give you outrageous high blood pressure. Oh, I'll give an additional star for the availability of sriracha.

OH Dos Hippies....how I wanted to love you sooo much. I'd been passing this place by due to the long lines around noon, and just biding my time until I too would get to taste the deliciousness. I should have waited longer..... I went in on a Friday around 4:30 and there was no line! I was so excited! I perused the simple menu and was delighted to find "Cactus Tacos". This is something I grew up eating, we called it 'nopales', and I'd never seen it on a taco menu. So I ordered two Cactus Tacos with no cheese. The very nice chick behind the counter said that the Cactus was prepared fresh daily and mixed with feta cheese. Okay, I'm not lactose intolarant, just watching calories, so I said that would be fine, just no extra cheese. She suggested I get three tacos, but I stuck with two, glad I did. I then paid $1.00 for a can of diet pepsi. $1.00!!!? Get fountain drinks, please. I waited less than 3 minutes to pick up my tacos from the patio window in the back and sat down amongst a bunch of happily chewing people. I was excited! The size of the tacos was great! I was really happy I only got two, b/c I wouldn't be able to fit in three. I also noticed that there was shredded cheddar on them, even though I'd asked for no extra cheese. I took off as much as I could and didn't think much about it. As I picked up the first taco, I thought, 'wow, these seem cold...omg, these *are* cold.' Who eats cold tacos? The nopales (prickly pear cactus) were ice cold. ice cold. The flour tortillas were also cold, the only thing that wasn't cold were the lukewarm pinto beans. Okay.. I'm half-mexican and will eat a lot of things in a tortilla, almost anything, but I have never been served cold nopales. Okay, I decided to give it a try, because I'm willing to try anything once. The first bite was crunchy and my intial thought was "holy crap they didn't clean the cactus of needles!" then I realized the crunchiness was merely from the *partially-cooked* rice that was in the taco. I opened up both tacos, scooped the uncooked rice out and finished them. I wanted to like this place so badly! Why, oh why couldn't you have been amazing?! I may be too forgiving, but I'm willing to go back and try one of their hot dogs....but give me some time......

This place had good yelp reviews so I was hopeful, but sorry the food is bad . The passionfruit lemonade was good except a bit sweet, I added some water in it when I got home. I got a fish taco, and a carne asada taco. The fish taco was really fishy, and was like the bottom greyish parts of the fish near the tail sorta thing, and the carne asada I just didn't enjoy the seasoning. I love cabbage in a taco, but not when it's real big and chunky i like it a fine mince. If you want to eat a good burrito/taco go to the taco stand in front of charlie's (gay cowboy bar at 7th Ave and Camelback).

This place is extremely sub par for a place that specializes in tacos. I'm pretty sure that they use canned chicken for their tacos & burritos and London broiled low-grade beef (which they try to pass of as carne asada). All in all, I could make their menu at home and have it taste better. The prices are cheap so I guess that you get what you pay for; however, I could get a much better tasting burrito at Chipotle or a local Filiberto's type of restaurant for the same price. I've given this place two chances to change my mind and my feelings have only solidified.

I first noticed this place about 6 months ago and although I had no clue what it was, I knew it was good based on the crowds always gathered outside. When my friend called last week to tell me how great it was, I knew it was time. I met a friend there for lunch today and was very pleasantly surprised. It's a small place, with a chalkboard menu and lots of random decorations, but it's festive. I opted for the taco 3-pack for only $4.50 (can you say cheap?) and chose the Green Beef, Chicken, and Beans/Cheese. And yeah, there were a few flies around, but WTFC? Oh, and since I'm a big tap water drinker (read: cheapskate), I was happy to get a large cup of ice water at no additional charge. I walked to the rear of the building where i found 4 or 5 clean picnic tables under cover, and waited for my order, which took about 5 minutes, and was conveniently available for pickup on the rear patio, right next to my table. I also noticed the line out front was growing longer and longer. The bag of food was so heavy, I thought I had the wrong order. Inside, I found 3 hugely overstuffed tacos, each wrapped in foil, with easy-to-read identification stickers ("chicken", "green beef", "bean & cheese"). Not sure why, but this made me smile. The tacos were stuffed with plenty of meat, lots of cabbage!, freshly grated cheese, and tomatoes. There were a few cups of green and red salsa included in the bag, too. Everything was fresh and delicious. I especially liked the chicken taco (tasty chunks of white meat) and the bean & cheese (they threw in a little rice too, which was a nice touch). I went back to order a veggie burro to go for my brother, and he loved it. My only suggestion would be to offer whole wheat tortillas, as that would definitely complete the healthy package. As I left, I encountered the owner who was friendly and asked me how everything was. The bottom line? 3 delicious tacos for $4.50. Need I say more? I'll be back.

This joins my long list of places that I really want to love, but ... I love the atmosphere. I love what they SAY they stand for. I love the concept of two hippies dropping out and dropping back in as restaurateurs. What I don't love is the food. The chicken and fish tacos I had were bland. No flavoriing. Thank god they had hot sauce (not homemade, store bought) on the table to spice things up a bit. On a positive note, the prives were good and the salsa they serve with store-bought chips wasn't bad. And the lemonade (they were out of most flavors both times I visited) was good. But overall, maybe it's time for the hippies to clean up their act. Worry about the food a little more than the message.

Been to this place 3+ times, and I don't know another way to say it - This place is beautiful. If Two Hippies Tacos was a woman, I'd marry her. First timers: Get the 3 tacos for $5 deal (I highly recommend the fish tacos), sit out on the back patio on one of the painted picnic tables and indulge. Second timers, get a Carne Asada burrito. You'll thank me later.

I was asked to go here for lunch about 4 years ago by a co-worker. I was sorta skeptical from the get go as I can be a little picky when it comes to latino/mexican cuisine. My initial reaction when I ordered a burrito was...pretty good. The really awesome part was the decor and really super friendly staff. They really seemed genuine to thank you for your business The second time I went I ordered thier fish tacos (minus the onion). OMG! Wow. Almost perfectly made tacos. Nice Chunky pieces of fish, and the lime is the extra mwah for these!. The sauce that's included is in perfect proportion, although I must say some days are better than others (too much vs too little) Now that I'm a fan...Fish Taco Friday at my work place with Two Hippies is the way to go!

You can hear this owner talking karma to anyone who will listen. Well, I've got karma for you: Revo Burrito, over by Zen 32. They seemed to have stolen the whole Two Hippies menu, right down to the flavored lemonades but-and get this-Revo Burrito had the inisght to include AIR CONDITIONING! Why would Two Hippies expect business to grow when its 115 degrees out? Answer: it didn't and now they've got some real competition. And I saw American Burrito gonna open up on 7th Ave. Two Hippies was overrated to begin with and now they've gotta slug it out with people doing the same thing, the same menu...only better! Stay away from this dump.

I will keep this one short. Value: Great. (lots of food for the moo la...wait is that how you spell it?) Atmosphere: Ummm...interesting place. But cheaply put together. Quality: Ho hum. The food was fine...but nothing special. Very plain. Service: Well not much in the way of service...order and the window and get out of the way. Not my favorite but worth the visit.

Jumped out of dead stop traffic on a whim. A lot of thought went into the decor both inside and out. I'm certain it helps for walk in traffic. Nice guy at the counter was friendly and talked up the food in a non-salesman like way. Normally I shy away from Carne Asade unless I know the place, but this cat talked me into it. The green Chile Carne Asade is not to be missed. Obvious marinated in Chile's, not dressed in them after the fact. Well done I say! Got 3 huge tacos for $5 and 2 waters for a buck a piece. Great deal/ good ambiance/ friendly knowledge staff. If you're in the neighborhood check it out.

Everardo K.

It's always a good sign to see a line at a lunch spot. Tacos were pretty good, my least favorite of the ones I tried was the fish, not that is it wasnt good, just that there are others I prefer. Beans were just plain ole pinto beans. All in all a good stop with good food and the price is just right for lunch.

I've heard of the Magic Mushroom joint, but this came at me out of left field. I decided to hit this shack with a work bud of mine (Groovy P.) to check it out. The first thing I noticed (other than the wonderfully tacky decor) was the decent prices. Tacos are $1.50 each (tax included). I went with the Burro. Honestly If they would have named the place Two Hippies and a Burro, I would have enjoyed myself more. But Beachhouse is fine too, I guess. The guy taking orders is the owner himself. He owns the Magic Mushroom place down on Indian School too. I think its refreshing to have the owner taking orders. Owners know how to do it right! He asked me my first name and scribbled it onto a brown bag. NOW I'm diggin this place! He was calling regulars up with nicknames like Snowman Steve, and Sarge. I wanna be a regular to find out what awesome alter-persona he labels me. Knowing my luck, he'd name me Conehead Chris or Corporate Chris or something else I wouldn't like. I wanna be Snowball Steve! The wait was long. 25 minutes long! Standing around staring at other people waiting. *Check watch* shuffle feet *Check watch*... Then I hear "CHRIS!!! PATIO PICKUP!" Wtf?!?! Wheres the patio? So I get my food and scarf it down. Carne Asada... not spiced for a typical burrito... Cabbage??? To say the least, it was pretty damn good. For $4, you can't go wrong! Next time I'll just get 2 tacos... I'll be back, Mr. Hippy...

DO NOT even attempt to go here for lunch during the week between 11:30-1:00. There are Xavier kids EVERYWHERE. You know what, just stay off Camelback all together. You've been warned.

Amazing prices, and the tacos taste so delicious and fresh! You eat outdoors so in the summer time it's pretty hot, but the food comes out quickly. Great place to take visitors or someone on a tight budget.

What a deal! Quick, not greasy, tastes fresh, huge portions, and guess what......CHEAP! The pork burrito is exceptional. Oh yeah, did I mention that it's cheap!

The freshest most inexpensive, delicious meal around!! 2 of these dollar fifty soft tacos make a plentiful meal. The chicken is my favorite- I could eat these little bundles 3 times a week!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
