Taqueria La Hacienda is a standout among Phoenix's Mexican eateries, tucked away at 254 E Buckeye Rd.

Notably, Jason Magel has been a loyal patron for 20 years, continually appreciating the consistent, delicious offerings.

Been eating at this taco wagon for about 10 years now. I love the carne asada tacos. Although they've raised the price 33% on them they're still a pretty good value. Easy to get to, plenty of parking and seating too. Great place for lunch or dinner in my opinion. Some of the best tacos in the City...

We drove all the way here from Surprise, just to try out their food. It's a food truck vendor in a parking lot. It's a little further back in the parking lot that my Hub's did not see while driving on Buckeye Road. There was brick seating enclosing the seating area with plenty of tables, chairs and benches with two portable heaters for those chilly evenings. We ordered green chile burritos, a bean and cheese burrito, and a lengua, tripa, pastor and carnitas taco. They were pretty good sized, and all very good, and worth the drive out here. The green chile wasn't hot, which is fine with us. The green, and red salsas were not spicy at all, which we thought would be, as is the norm for most Mexican food trucks. They were both perfect, but could use a lil spiciness. The female that was at the window was very nice, as was the other female that gave us our burrito 'to go.' It is 'cash only,' so make sure you have cash on hand prior to your visit here.

Best Carnitas Tacos in Downtown Phoenix! Hands down the tastiest, juiciest, and most filling tacos you’ll enjoy. Been coming here over 10 years and we always stop by after watching the Diamondbacks, Suns, or Phoenix Symphony. Try the chicharron tacos or Nopalitos Breakfast Burrito—both are the alternative best dishes. You will be happy you stopped by :)

This place always hit the spot. Perfect little hidden gem. Bomb tacos, amazing ceviche, and quick and friendly service.

Went on a bike ride from encanto park just for tacos here. It was busy but the service was pretty fast and the tacos were good. I got lengua, carne asada and carnitas. They have sodas in a bottle, lots or flavors plus Arizona ice tea in cans. Definitely going back for more.

Been coming here for years and it's been delicious. I love that they stay open late and have never had a disappointing experience. My favorite will always be their carne asada burritos with crema and al pastor tacos Also, I am not much of a fan of onions but their grilled onions are super delicious. ...
