Tacos Chiwas (Indian School Location)
Tacos Chiwas
A family-run taco shop serving Chihuahua-style food at budget prices. Featured twice on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Armando Hernandez and Nadia Holguin serve home-style food from the Mexican state of Chihuahua from a short menu. The star is the beef cheek barbacoa taco, topped with cilantro and white onion. The small gordita flatbreads are best with rajas (roasted chile and melted cheese) or deshebrada (shredded beef). Each item costs just a few dollars. No reservations are needed, but lines form at peak times. The couple are also partners in Bacanora. Another location is in Mesa, and there is one in Terminal 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
