Moreno's Mexican Grill Broadway & Horn 760 E Broadway Rd Mesa, AZ 85204   I would go right by here in the mornings and afternoons on my home from work in my golfcart or on my bike.  This area smelled so good.  There is another restaurant on the opposite side of the intersection.  Both always got me hungry.  Never a good time to go in while I was going to work or going home.  Finally got to go.      Carne Asada Street Taco Review:  Appearance = 1.5 / 2  – Looked good Tortilla = 1.5 / 2  – Flour Tortilla, pretty good overall.   Meat / filling = 1.0 / 2  – The Carne Asada was a little dry, as Carne Asada is at about 75% of the places I eat at.  So much meat. Sauce = 1.4 / 2  – The sauce they gave me, had heat and some flavor.  The green avocado type of sauce was pretty much flavorless. Their salsa bar was closed. Value = 1.3 / 2  $2.50  – Average ...

Just Tacos and More 32nd St  &  Thomas Road 2910 N. 32 nd   St, Phoenix AZ   I have been wanting to go here for months.  I saw they have a Chile Relleno Taco, and Chile Rellenos are one of my favorite foods of all time.  I have had some burrito’s with Rellenos in them, and I was not impressed.  One I did not even finish, that was before Gastric Sleeve surgery so that says a lot.  So I wanted a Chile Relleno taco.  It got me to drive over to Phoenix.   Appears to be a new restaurant.  Location has great décor and employees were very helpful and friendly.   Crispy Taco Review:  Appearance = 1.5 / 2  – Looked a little beat up, but not awful.  Looked like one of my kids pulled it out of the fryer pulling back half of a side of the folded shell.  At home I would have just made a new one for myself and given it to one of our younger kids (Connor)  th...

Taquitos JALISCO On Broadway East of Alma School 1052 W. Broadway Rd, Mesa, AZ Seems to be a new building, inside is very nice & new.  Great style of decorations and the seating.  My complaint, which is a minor one is that there were not any labels on the salsa.  So you had no idea heat level, or if you were having a Jalapeno or Avocado sauce.  Big difference between the 2.  Label can make the difference of having heart burn all night.  Knowing is half the Battle, GI Joe!   Crispy Shredded Beef Taco Crispy Shredded Beef Taco Appearance = 1.7 / 2 – It looked amazing Tortilla = 1.8 / 2 – Shell was maybe thicker or just different than some of the usual tacos I have, it makes for a great crispy taco.  Had this extra crispyness, yum! Meat / filling = 1.8 / 2 – The beef was juicy and all the filling worked together in this taco.  The flavor was so good, I did not have to use lots of sauce.  Was good without sauce. Sauce = 1.6 / 2 – There ...

Filberto’s Main Street & Dobson 1755 W. Main St., Mesa, AZ Everybody has their own opinions on Filberto’s.  My opinion most of the time years ago was it was a little expensive, that I could eat at a sit down restaurant for the same money.  I don’t know if that was actually true, but that was my thoughts.  6 years ago or so I started going to this particular Filberto’s every Tuesday on my way home from work.  I would get lots of tacos like 12 or so for the whole family for dinner.  They had a special that made them $1.50 each or something.  I remember them being pretty good, maybe a little greasy.  I mainly stopped going because I was in the drive thru line for 30 minutes or so.  It took me a while to quit going.  That being said I only got the tacos here on Tuesday.  This review, I went a Monday.   Crispy Beef Taco – I ordered 2 tacos, and they were both the following: Appearance = 1.0 / 2 – It was not too beat up, just did not...

Jalapeño Ranch Crispy Chicken Soft Taco   I had a Habanero Crispy Chicken Soft Taco at Del Taco a few weeks ago.    It was so good, and has been on my find.    I wanted to make something similar.    This is not a copycat, this recipe was inspired by Del Taco’s taco.     Lets start with making the sauce.   Jalapeño Ranch Sauce Recipe   Ingredients     •    3 jalapeños     •    ¾ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream     •    ¼ cup mayonnaise     •    2 TBLS dry ranch mix     •    ½ TSP garlic powder     •    ½ TSP onion powder     •    Fresh lime juice from 2 limes     •    1 bunch cilantro     •    salt & pepper to taste. Instructions     •  ...

Big Fat Taco I am calling these the Big Fat Taco. So it is like a Chalupa.  I am seeing how other people used these and put some oil on it and cooked in a pan.  I already had a pan full of oil for tortillas for making some enchiladas going on.  So I thought why not put the whole thing in here.  First I softened up the flatbread in the microwave for 15 seconds.  So it would fold without breaking.   For frying keep the oil under 350 degrees.  Even turn off the burner while you put the flat bread in.  I did burn one.  It does not take long at all to fry.  Fold it before you put it in the oil with the tongs.  Pull out maybe 30 seconds or so.  When it is light brown. I added Chicken, spanish rice, el pato & lettuce.  Turned out so good.  Could not believe how amazing it tasted.  I used leftovers ingredients for it, thinking I did not want to spend all this time making a new filling if the bread was not edibl...

Easy Instant Pot Beef Tacos This has turned into a family favorite.  Sometimes our younger kids just eat the beef.  We are using premade taco shells, but you can use soft tortillas, or make nachos whatever you want.  If you don’t have an Instant Pot, just go get one.  It will make your life so much easier.  Sometimes we don’t have our whole lives planned out and decide what to have for dinner 30 minutes before we plan on eating.  Can’t do that with a crock pot.    Ingredients: ½ sweet onion 1 TBLS of minced garlic 2lbs of ground hamburger (I used 90-10, use what you want) 1 TBLS chili powder ½ TBLS Ground Cumin Salt & Pepper to taste 15oz can of Tomato Sauce Bay leaf  Package of premade taco shells (your desired brand and quantity) Shredded cheese Taco sauce Shredded lettuce (Other taco toppings if so desired)   Directions: Turn Instant Pot to Sauté Add about 1 TBLS Add ½ minced onion Add 1 TBLS of minc...

Whenever I went to California as a kid I always loved eating at Del Taco.  I was very happy when they opened up locations in Arizona.  So I am a Del Taco Fan.  Taco is in the name, so it gets you in the mood just saying the name.     The Del Taco (This is the big Crispy Taco) Appearance = 1.0 / 2  – Half the shell was broken.  Did not look like it was handled with love.  Maybe handled with leather gloves. Tortilla = 1.2 / 2  – It had a crunch that was not bad, but still a pre-made shell.  Meat / filling = 1.5 / 2  – The beef was juicy with good flavor.  Lots of beef and lots of cheese (which they grate at the restaurants).   Sauce = 1.5 / 2  – I have always liked there mild sauce, but I do like Taco Bell Mild better.  Everybody is different.   Value = 1.6 / 2  $1.69  – It seems like a fair value.  Taco Bell’s Crispy taco is $1.49....
