Los Taquitos

Totally not bad for airport food. You get a good amount of food in each order and it seems pretty fresh. While I didn’t have too many expectations when coming here, I was happy to try the «Phoenix style» aka plus potatoes.
Food came quick and wasn’t super expensive, so a positive experience overall.

Poorly prepared food and tasteless. I ordered the chicken tacos. Chicken was dry and not marinated. Concession needs to shut down

First, I always recommend eating outside of security in Phoenix if you think you have time; the terminals are just too crowded. But here I was, eating disappointing Mexican food in the Southwest terminal.
They hadn’t restocked the waters so everyone in line had to keep wandering over to the register next door to get water. I ordered a chicken burito. The chicken was quality meat, like really good quality cut which I was thrilled about but the small burrito was mostly refried beans. I could get over the beans except that the burrito is also served with a huge helping of beans and rice as well. First, its hard to eat a plate of beans and rice from a flimsy metal tray while sitting in an airport chair without a table or worse, when standing. Secondly, not to be crass, but I’m not sure I want all my fellow travelers eating huge helpings of beans before getting on a flight. This is just an odd choice.

The sheer ignorance to not be able to figure out how to make a burrito that is half carnitas and half carne asada is dumbfounding. The nice woman at the register asked the line cook or manager (I could not tell) if this was possible, The response was «what the hell, I don’t have a frigging calculator, just order from the menu.» Is it really that hard to put half of the normal meat portion twice on the product? Wait you say, there should be a difference in price. Well sir, al the burritos were the same price no matter which meat was chose.
The rest of the reviews here pretty much state that this is a place that does not expect return visits.

Geez, it’s been years since I last ate at this airport, but didn’t expect the food to be so ridiculous. So, if you ever need to eat a burrito before 10 am, then get a breakfast burrito. I got too excited and got a carne asada burrito. OMG! The burrito is just refried beans! The other customers were looking at it and I told them it’s suppose to be a carne asada. They told me to inform the employees. Was $ 9 worth asking if I got the right order. I guess it was. So I went up and said that I got the wrong order. I was suppose to get a carne asada burrito. They said the order is right. I showed them the beans filled burrito… then, then held up the small scoop to show how much meat customers get on their «carne asada» burrito. What a joke! Plate already has rice and bean, plus burrito filled with beans?! LOL. I had no choice since I didn’t want food to waste. Anyway, if 1 star is okay because Cashier Shino gave great customer service. It would be a 2 hr flight. Good luck passenger mates. This girl just ate lotsa beans. LOL

I don’t understand the plethora of negative reviews of this place. Stopped here for a quick bite before a flight. The chicken quesadilla I ordered was cooked fresh to order. It was served with 2 sides of salsa that were clearly homemade and quite good. I would gladly stop here again, ignore the negative reviews.

I ordered the asada street tacos which comes with three tacos, Spanish rice, beans, and two different salsas, one red, one green. The beans were very tasty and the rice was okay. The tacos were super, super, super tiny BUT they ARE «street tacos» so I guess I should’ve known better. The asada was okay. I went straight for the green salsa and poured it all over my food. I really should’ve tried the salsas first because the green salsa was super spicy. I had to remove what I could from my food with a napkin. My mistake. The customer service could use some help. Cashier had an attitude towards me and her coworkers. Not very professional. For airport food this place was okay. I probably won’t be back.

We stopped in here at the C gate during a slight layover at PHX. I don’t make a habit of eating food at airports as it is usually mediocre at best and overpriced. However, we were here for a long time and needed something to get us through. The smells from this place were amazing! The staff was great! They were very helpful, friendly, and actually cared about their job. How refreshing! I opted for the carnitas torta sandwich upon recommendation from a man who was enjoying his at the table nearby. The Mexican bread it comes on is very filling. The meat was tender and flavorful. It came with two different salsas. I tried one on each side, both were equally delicious! One was a red, smoky salsa, the other was a green, verde salsa. The rice was nothing special, but the sandwich was outstanding (for airport food). My whole sandwich with a bottle of water and tax was just over $ 12. about what you would expect to pay for any meal at an airport. I would come here again if at PHX.

You are better off eating gum off the airport carpet.
Let’s start with the 2 cashiers, one from nocawich and they other from los taquitos (Marie)…conversation as we are ordering: Nocawich: You didn’t get in Trouble for your nails? Maria: Fuck them, they can’t tell me how to do my nails. Hang on, I’ll tell you in a minute.
Next, we were served 2 burrito bowls and both were filled with uncooked, teeth cracking rice. No thanks, those for returned.
And the topper… as we are waiting for our quesadilla, something without rice, one of the cooks is standing there eating his boxed candy next to the actual guy doing his job. Then he loads printer paper, doesn’t wash his hands, puts one glove on, and then uses his gloved hand to pour more candy in the ungloved hand to feed himself. Lastly, he places a glove on his ungloved, sugar covered hand and proceeds to prep food.
Well done!

Should’ve checked Unilocal.Worst Mexican food I’ve had. I had the carne asada burrito Arizona style. The burrito was slightly warm. Cheese was still in shreds and not melted. The meat was bad and had no flavor. Overall, it was terrible. I will never eat here again even though the other options at the airport are bad as well.

Los Taquitos is a counter service Mexican restaurant in the Phoenix airport that should be avoided if at all possible. I can confidently say that Los Taquitos has been my worst experience eating out in the 365 days, which has a sample size greater than 300.
The one redeeming quality is that the folks working behind the counter were really pleasant.
The food tasted awful. If you get tricked into eating it, try and hit Ctrl + Z to undo what you just did. The guacamole had slimy brown spots, the rice was dry, and the bean tacos/​burritos or whatever were nothing more than refried beans loaded into tortillas. I tossed the meal after a few bites.
The food took a long time to come out. I almost thought they were making it all from scratch. Nope. If you have that much time, try eating elsewhere; the airport has many options. Heck, there’s better restaurants right there in terminal C.
Los Taquitos is not worth it. Save yourself the time and money.

Should’ve checked Unilocal!Don’t eat here
On my way out of town, thought I’d grab a burrito before my flight. The burrito from Los Taquitos was by far the saddest burrito I’ve ever eaten. For reference i don’t eat fast food, but even a burrito from any fast food joint is better than this one.
Pros: the burrito was warm. The salsa was ok (not great, not bad).
Cons: the burrito was very floppy, poorly rolled and it barely contained anything inside the tortilla. Adding to the disappointment, the burrito was served with potatoes on the side. If the potatoes had been inside the burrito, maybe it’d get a 2 star review.
All in all avoid at all costs. This was NOT authentic Mexican food. I’m Mexican, and i would not recommend this place.

Not too bad for airport fast food. I recommend the carne asada torta. The salsa that comes with their meals is very good.
Slow service.

I have eaten at this location twice while traveling thru.
Last time I ordered a burrito bowl, which wasn’t too bad.
This last visit I ordered the 3 street tacos. I opted for 1 chick and 2 pork (carnitas). I think the pork had a better flavor. The beans and rice are nothing outstanding, but good. I added their salsa verde (green) to the pork tacos for added deliciousness.
From what I have seen, this place usually has a line, so be prepared to wait a little bit. The cashier usually isn’t that friendly either.

On our way back home, we decided to grab some lunch at this joint. Seemed convenient enough for a filling meal before the flight. Michelle was cashier. She got a little sassy with us during our interaction as if she wasn’t interested in doing this job. That was bit of a turn off.
Don’t expect much from this place though. Food is alright, nothing amazing. I got the Carne Asada burrito for $ 9.79. It’s a little pricey but certainly expected for airport food. The burrito is stuffed with steak, beans, salsa, onions and cilantro and served with rice and more beans. It was good enough for the day. again, nothing that stood out.
That’s all I have to say about that.

Not too shabby. This place has burritos, tacos, tortas and breakfast options. They are pretty reasonably priced as well. Ordered a Chorizo Torta and it comes with refried beans and Spanish Rice. $ 8.49 for that was incredibly fair. The Torta bread was soft and allowed the meats and veggies to shine. The bummer was the chorizo because it was carnitas. Oh well didn’t realize the mistake until I was In the air over Dallas. The meal was good just be sure to check your order.

Bottom Line: Grumpy employees, slow service, greasy food and disgustingly dirty.
I was desperately hungry for lunch so decided to get a quesadilla at Lost Taquitos. In hindsight, I would have been just getting some snacks at the local magazine store. I was able to order quickly but it took a long time for my food to come up which consistence of a steak quesadilla and some hot sauce. Some vegetables with this would have been awesome. I think it was supposed to come with pico de gallo. Also, a smear of guac could have really livened this dish up. Heck, some lettuce and tomatoes inside the quesadilla would have been good too. There wasn’t anywhere to sit which is probably ok since there are literally inches of dust hanging on the exposed sealing overhead. I took my greasy quesadilla to go but not before heading past the adjacent restaurant to the soda machine which was Pepsi. Bleh.

Stay far, far away.
Okay, so here’s the backstory, I flew to Philly a few weeks ago from SFO and had a layover here. My flight was at 6am and being the responsible adult that I am, decided to go to a bluegrass festival in the city the day before. My friends and I weren’t PLANNING on finishing the boxed wine but hey, these things just happen right? Anyway, I spent the night vomiting my brains out and it’s a miracle how I even ended up making it on the plane but that’s another story.
ANYWAY, fast forward a few hours later, I wake up in Phoenix and your girl is still hungover but feelin’ like some food could help. Oh man, that was some wishful thinking. I ordered the vegetarian burrito bowl and the whole damn thing was SO salty I swear my hangover was coming back with full force and I was gonna vomit on the plane. I also bought a side of guacamole and that was SO salty too. That should be a crime.
I actually was so upset I tried to write a review while I was on the plane but completely forgot to finish it. So here I am almost a month later, better late than never!
Moral of the story: don’t come here unless you want to overdose on sodium.

The amazing part about Terminal 4 in Sky Harbor is you get a great sample of the local PHX flavor instead of your everyday McDonald’s, Jamba Juice, etc. commonplace in US airports.
I’m a card carrying, verified Los Taquitos addict, and know they’ve been here for a while. Decided to grab a bite on my way out to Albuquerque this afternoon to see how it compared to their Ahwatukee and Phoenix locations.
If you’re going to take anything way from my review, let it be this: This location is absolutely NOTHING like the flagship (if you don’t count the food truck) locations.
Sure, the menu looks almost identical: Breakfast Burritos and Tortas, the infamous Street Tacos and Quesadillas.
The food even looks the same.
Yes, I realize this is airport food, but the only thing from a quality control standpoint that tastes the same are the roja y verde salsas.
I went with the 3 Street Tacos Combo and a Large Water Bottle for a total of $ 12.13.
The tortillas were sad and cold.
The beans were playdoh-​esque, cold and the rice had way way WAY too much seasoning.
All of the meats were lukewarm. The Pollo was dry and crumbly, the Carne Asada lacked that vibrant spice we all know LT by, and the Carnitas were also missing that unique spice.
I will say though, the Carnitas was the most moist of the three.
Sad, wilted cilantro and onions were scattered on haphazardly.
What a disappointment. This is one of my favorite taco places in town, and it’s a shame they’re misrepresenting their product here.
This would have been a one star review if we’re going off food quality only; however, the team was really hustling, the gal was taking orders was cheery, and the manager took time to chat with me.
Come on, Los Taquitos family — Take a look at quality control, I know y’all are worlds better than this.

Sucks that this place was how we started our vacation off.
We had an early flight, so by the time we made it to our layover, we were pretty hungry. We didn’t have much time so we thought some tacos and burritos would hit the spot.
Wrong.
Not only was this place was pricey, you barely get any food. A tiny scoop of rice and beans, and 3 small tacos that looked miserable. I ate 1 taco before the corn tortilla fell apart. I dumped the other 2 and just ate the rice and beans.
It was also super packed and crowded, with barely a place to stand. Don’t get your hopes up of finding a chair to sit in.
Luckily we were heading to Texas, where they have the best tacos around, so we could easily forget our experience here.
