About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

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.

Fresh and authentic Mexican food. I return here whenever I'm visiting Scottsdale because it's just that good. This place is top 5 all time on my personal list of taco joints. Obligatory hole in the wall comment... I haven't had issues with service like some other reviewers, but I agree that it's nothing special. Everyone was friendly enough and I think a certain "gruff" comes with the territory. It's a small place that caters to locals (i.e. workers on lunch break and Mexican American families), not tourists or retirees. So I think for me that negates any concerns with location and service as expressed by others. In any event, the food is what stands out here. When you first walk in there is a bar with various pickled veggies and salsas. Try the radishes! The menu is long enough to satisfy varied preferences but not so long as to overwhelm. I've had most things and everything is great! As mentioned, carne asada is good, but I think you can do better. The tripa is great, lengua is good (crispy exterior, melt in your mouth interior), and the sweet pork is outstanding. Rice and beans are solid and the crema and Mexican mayo taste sooo homemade. I like salsa verde quite a bit and probably use it "improperly," but it's great on everything. If you are the kind of person who looks beyond the surface and appreciates really good Mexican food, do yourself a favor and check this place out. NOW!

Pretty good hole in the wall type place Shrimp cocktail was on point Fast service Probably won't be back cause I'm coming from out of town but good spot if you're a local .
(4)Greg E.
This is a fantastic place. It's bigger inside than it looks from the outside, because it's located in a tiny strip mall with a Circle K and a tiny tavern. This is the only what one would consider authentic Mexican restaurant that I've found that actually puts rice AND beans in their delicious burritos automatically. Their breakfast burritos are outstanding. Parking is a little tight, as this joint is popular!
(5)Patrick H.
Very good authentic Mexican food. I never would have found this place without Yelp. My carne asada combo plate was delicious. It's in a kinda sketchy strip mall but that makes it even more fun to visit.
(4)andrea v.
Authentic Mexi dishes that are well priced and not skimpy on the serving sizes. They had my continued patronage when I saw the self-serve salsa, spicy carrots, radish, lime, and grilled jalapeño bar. The location is a bit sketchy but the food was absolutely worth the adventure
(5)Jake W.
Pretty good. The cheap, gritty Mexican food we were looking for. Alpastor tacos were real good. Less than 9 bucks for 5 tacos!
(4)David H.
I ordered the burrito and taco plate w/chicken. Taco was small but delicious. Veggies in and with the burrito were fresh and crunchy. I tried two of the three sauces and both were excellent. I'll definitely return for more.
(5)Erica Jade L.
Al pastor was one of the best I've ever had. Their tortillas are quality too. All together makes for a delicious burrito. I'd skip the carne asada fries though. They should make al pastor fries instead.
(5)Boyo I.
Another visit to Phoenix/Scottsdale, and two return visits to this amazing little hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. I am a carne asada taco aficionado and this place has the best tacos I have ever had. (Maybe a few places in San Diego have come close). Just get anything with their red salsa and you won't be disappointed. Everything I have ever had here has a special homemade taste, from the pinto beans to the tacos.
(5)Scott M.
Really good authentic Mexican restaurant in Scottsdale. They have all the classics and they are executed well. They also carry Mexican coke, and sidral mundet apple soda. I recommend the gordita combo. Only negative thing is I've gotten to go food from here and they gave me the wrong order.
(4)Donna M.
Love this authentic Mexican food restaurant. Tried it because of yelp reviews. All are true--plus, it's so clean. Not fancy, but who cares if the food is good!
(4)Daniel K.
Total hole in the wall but it was open late so here I went! After staring at all the options at the wall I finally went with the huevos rancheros. Pros +Portions +$5 +Salsa Bar Wow I finished this five dollar box of goodness but just barely. It came with beans, rice, veggies, egg, pico, and tortillas on the side. If your hungry and in the area a combo from Tacos Jaliscos is way better then shelling out for the 5 buck box at T-Bell's. IT DOES THE JOB *It really does look like your run of the mill Filiberto's combo but taste's better somehow
(3)Holly R.
I think I just found my new favorite Mexican joint. Like other Yelpers say, this place isn't much to look at on the outside but they are cooking up some awesome food inside. I ordered the #10 which is a carne asada taco, a quesadilla, rice and beans. I went for the taco first. Their tacos are small but mighty. The meat was tender and the salsa had a kick but was no overpowering - very flavorful. Next was the quesadilla. Granted, it's hard to mess up melted cheese in a tortilla but definitely hit the mark if ooey gooey cheese is your thing. I thought the rice and beans were really good too. Dipping the quesadilla in the beans made it that much more awesome. The staff was very friendly - they greeted us right away when we came in and thanked us on our way out. I'm very much looking forward to my next visit so I can try the other kinds of tacos - chicken, al pastor, carnitas - yum!!
(4)Greg P.
Excellent tacos and their homemade salsa is the best. The burritos are fantastic too.
(4)James B.
Of all the taco spots I've been to in Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale, this is by far my favorite one. They have the BEST carne asada tacos. Fuego!!
(5)Colin B.
My girlfriend and I had a good first experience here a few weeks ago but after going tonight, we will not be back. We walked in tonight and the lady ringing us up had a horrible attitude for no reason. We asked a couple questions about the menu and we got one word answers and a glaring stare. She made us feel really uncomfortable and unwelcomed in the restaurant almost as if she didn't want us there. Kind words to the business owner, have a sit down with your cashier and tell her to find another job if she does not want to represent the front of your restaurant in an appropriate way. All it takes is one bad experience for a customer to not bring you their business again, and that's all it took in this case. I'll opt for Chipotle next time as I know exactly what in getting every time I walk into one of their restaurants
(1)Julie G.
Great pregame with girl friends before. NOT too expensive, order pitchers. Would go again
(4)Shaun L.
Place was solid. Food was hot, authentic and delicious. I read some complaints about the girl at the front. Look people, it is ok to go in, Order and eat. Sometimes a place has to offer hot, delicious, Authentic cuisine. AND THATS IT. Get off your high horse. Learn to appreciate what a place has to offer and not the amount of fake convo they want to have with you. Point at the menu item you want, and go talk with the people you came with. Not every place is a flying J truck stop with mandatory over the top friendly fake questions and concern.
(4)Z R.
I tried this place out based on reviews I read from multiple sources. Luckily one of the reviews mentioned that it was right next to a circle K, this made it fairly easy to spot. I ordered the 3 tacos combination plate with carne asada, carnitas, and lengua. All were delicious, though I have had better asada. I chose not to partake in anything from the condiment bar, that will be on the next visit. The beans and rice were good. I was extremely disappointed that they did not sell beer, and I can't believe that a fast-food Mexican place closes at 12 am. This would be the perfect stop after getting kicked out of the bars at 2 am if it was open. All in all, great choice for fast food Mexican, but I would not say it was extraordinary.
(4)Phillip P.
This place is such a hidden gem. So authentic, so good, and prices less than Taco Bell crap.
(5)Adam M.
Was working nearby got 2 Carne Assad burritos, first visit food was good no complaints. But last Thursday 4-2-15 got the same thing but one burrito no onions. I had onions on my burrito and used the green sauce my co-worker had the same burrito but didn't have onions or use green sauce. I GOT FOOD POISONING 3 hours later and was puking my guts out. I will never eat here again and may in fact be contacting the AZ department of health to investigate their food handling practices.
(1)Art C.

Esta Delicioso!!!!
(5)John S.
Just great. Don't be fooled by the outside. Inside had plenty of tables. Clean. Fresh. Salsa and pickled veggies... Free! Lots of locals...Would not have found without Yelp!
(5)Kirk T.
Plaza looks sketchy, but it's safe. This is where day laborers eat. They have the *best* carrot, jalapeno, cauliflower mix on their condiment bar, not the same boring stuff you get at just about every other "real" Mexican dive. They have 3 basic salsas: green, red, and smokey red. Try them all to find your favorite. My favorite dish is the breakfast plate with chorizo. This is chorizo that you can actually taste, not the stuff you find at many places that tastes like hamburger. The lunch items are very good, too. Like any dive, it might take a few tries to find your favorite dishes. And the menudo (weekends) is about as real as it gets. I.e. Excellent.
(5)Mylie K.
I have had much better mexican than this.
(2)Austin K.
This is my favorite place for Mexican food in Scottsdale! I recently took my Venezuelan girlfriend here and she was completely blown away by how good the food was!
(5)Miranda F.
Don't be afraid of the parking lot and appearance! Tacos Jalisco is delicious, authentic Mexican food. It's clean inside and the staff is nice. I ordered a cheese quesadilla and carne asada taco combo. It came with a side of beans and a tiny salad. It was cooked to order - you can see into the kitchen so you know it's fresh. They have a salsa bar with limes, grilled peppers, and three or four types of homemade salsa. I was very hungry when I ordered and the combo meal was just large enough to leave me stuffed! Anything extra would have been too much food. :) I ordered a horchata and it was delicious! The vanilla and cinnamon flavors blended smoothly. I love horchata so I'm happy it was great! I plan to will get horchata every time I go!
(5)Armida D.
Ok peeps i'm not gonna lie, this place is pretty good. Little bit of a shady neighborhood. We went at night, though, and had no problems. Had carne asada sope and carne asada taco. I agree with my fellow Yelpers, the carne asada is pretty flavorful. Not crazy about the rice and watery guacamole but the beef was 2-thumps up
(4)Jack N.
True hole in the wall. Tacos Jalisco tastes much better than it looks. I tried the asada, carnitas, tripas, and pastor tacos. In order from best to worst: Tripas- flavorful, tender, i like them a bit more crunchy but they were very good Pastor- the pinneapple flavore really shined and they were pretty tender Asada- a bit boring and on the dry side. Would have been good had it been fresher and right off the grill Carnitas- also would have been better if they were warmed on the grill first. A bit dry and I bit into grissle more than once. There were three salsas at the bar as well as pickled carrots and jalapenos, raidshes, limes, and roasted jalapenos. The three salsas were seriously legit. Two reds and a green and they each held their own. All in all it is a dive spot with tasty salsas and okay tacos. I would go back again if I was in the area to try more dishes.
(3)Ursula D.
Like other Yelpers, I found out about this hole-in-the-wall via another Yelper. I have had it bookmarked for a while! I haven't gone before today because they only accepted cash! You guessed it, they accept plastic now. Whoop. Awesome. I tried the beef tongue, carne asada and chicken tacos. I thought the tacos were amazing. I am definitely a food venturing American and I am ashamed to admit that I just love the insides of tacos, but I usually leave the shells. Either I was super hungry today, or those shells were amazing because, I ate all 3 shells too. While the tacos were great, the salsas and pickled veggies were amazing to me. They have a salsa bar stocked with whole roasted jalapeños, pickled veggies, and regular, chipotle and green salsa. The salsa was so yummy that I am pretty sure I ate enough of the regular salsa to have been charged for a bowl of salsa soup. Just fantastic to me. One nice thing, this retaurant has expanded and can accommodate small groups for lunch or dinner. The parking lot is small. I saw strange things happening at the businesses mext door and I saw some kids walk in large bowls of what looked like was food for someone, I just hoped it wasnt for serving in the restaurant. Alas.... My return factor for this place is 100% and it could very well be tomorrow!
(4)Anne S.
REVIEW BASED ON HORCHATA ONLY. All I had was the horchata, but boy was it magnificient! We almost ate their...and then I saw the guy in the back cutting up the meat, and I was like, "nah...." I'm sure it's great though!
(5)Laura J.
Maybe we went on a bad day, but we've tasted better. Plus, the place kind of smelled icky--perhaps because it was a hot day and the bathrooms don't really have good ventilation. Eww. We're originally from California, and my husband lived in Guadalajara when he was a whippersnapper, so we aren't strangers to Mexican food. We wanted to like this place, we really did. We moved to Scottsdale for my husband's job and we're on the hunt for some good Mexican food. We want to find both a "hole-in-the-wall" place and a good restaurant (where we can take family and out of town guests) that have flavorful food. We had high hopes for this one based on ratings and reviews, but for the life of us we can't understand why there were so many good reviews. Hungry college students, perhaps? I don't know. Our search continues.
(2)Randie D.
I went here for lunch based on yelp reviews, I was craving shrimp cocktail. I'm pregnant and what the baby wants the baby gets. When I first pulled up, I was like... oh... uh.... I contemplated going somewhere else because it definitely looks sketchy from the outside. But I decided to trust the yelpers and I went in, and my whole mindset completely changed. It's small, but it's totally clean, organized, and nice inside! A lot of places to sit and it was all just very clean. I was surprised. The lady who took my order was nice, didn't speak too much English but enough to get my order right which is all I cared about. While I waited for my food I got some of their hot carrots/jalapenos and was happy to find there was also hot cauliflower in there, which I love (the baby loves). My food came out in a few minutes and I took it back to work to eat. My shrimp cocktail was really good. Just what you'd expect, nothing super fancy but the shrimp was very big and they were not stingy. I only ordered the medium, at first I wished I got the large but while I was eating I kept finding more and more big shrimp in the cup and it was definitely satisfying enough for lunch. Also they were generous with the avocado too, which always makes me happy. I ate my hot carrots and cauliflower by themselves after and it may sound silly but they were soo good. They were really spicy and tangy all the way through, but not mushy or overly hard with no flavor like some places. It was so good I wish I had gotten more! 5 stars, even though it's a little shady on the outside, I can't knock them for that. I will definitely be back again soon for the carne asada everyone is talking about!

Great place! Nice service. Nice taco shop. Good rellenos and tostadas, a must stop when around Scottsdale.

Just ok place. Not impressed. My boyfriend lives his carnitas taco. I ordered a taco de Tripa and a taco de lengua. Lengua was dry and not very tasty, but the Tripa was good.

Carne aside quesadilla is so good and the horchata is perfect. Not too sweet or cinnamon-y. Lots of parking too.

I'll make this a quick one -- Lengua, Chorizo with cheese and egg burrito. Nine taco special. You cannot go wrong with these.

Made by Mexicans for Mexicans. No Taco Bell, no hipster burritos with foie gras, no Teepee that caters to the gringo palette. You will recognize most of the items but they haven't been bastardized on their trip north of the border. And yes they have the best tortillas in the area.

This was a meal that took place after an extra inning baseball game I was watching at the local watering hole, but that should not affect the review, but it might have affected the ordering process. First off how many drunken people eating here or take-out (like my meal) thought that the giant dollop of white stuff on top of my patch of lettuce was sour cream? I'm guessing 99% and until I actually find the one place in some random corner of Mexico that uses this technique, let's just say this is weird and luckily I had read reviews first. #sourcreamplease The quesadilla and asada taco combo was my choice, but I thought I had said I wanted the carne asada taco, but she said "Ok beef? Yes, they are the same, but not in the Mexican world. The meat did not taste like asada or any other meat I have tasted before, including "beef". Either way it had no fat and was double wrapped and decent. The quesadilla was big and standard fare for these things, but better than the chains version. The rice was high quality and fresh radishes are always a nice touch.Whether I slurred my words or we had a translation issue we will never know, but overall the place appears to be better than the chains, but that's about all.

Excellent! Authentic, affordable, friendly taco spot. Highly recommend. Get several plates and share.
