If you're looking for incredible tacos, you're in the right state. Arizona has tons of great Mexican food restaurants - from taco trucks to fancy five-start dining options and everything in between. There's one restaurant that has some serious acclaim, though. Take a look!
Visit La Santisima for the best tacos in the state. This little gem has 4.5 stars and nearly 1,500 reviews on the consumer review site Yelp. You'll find it at 1919 N. 16th Street in Phoenix.
This place isn't very big, but it's comfortable and warm, with great artwork on the walls.
It's often packed - especially on weekends. You might have to wait for a table...but it's well worth your time.
The Steak Tacos and Fish Tacos are great choices, and of course you need sides of rice and beans.
You can't go wrong with the Tinga Tacos - shredded chicken, onion, tomato and Aztec chipotle salsa.
Here are the Conchita Pibil and Black Mole tacos...yum!
You can even get vegan tacos here (and yes, they're as amazingly tasty as they look!)
The selection of salsas at the salsa bar is vast...you'll love trying different combinations every time you visit. This photo shows just a tiny portion of what's available.
You're definitely going to need a margarita with those tacos.
Visit the newer Glendale location, too. The address is 5932 W. Glendale Avenue.
