Filberto’s Taco Review

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 look fresh

Tortilla = 0.5 / 2 – Shell was ok for the crispyness, just not fresh.

Meat / filling = 0.5 / 2 – The beef was dry and just not good

Sauce = 1.9 / 2 – Fantastic.  Just the right consistency for thickness and flavor.  For both the green and red.  However the sauce can’t restore the taco into a new fresh taco.

Value = 0.5 / 2 $3.50 – It was pretty expensive for an old taco. 

Total Score 4.4/ 10 – I think this is a very generous score

 

With my Taco not being very edible, luckily I got an order of Rolled Tacos. $1.59 on Mondays

 

Rolled Tacos

Appearance = 1.7 / 2 – Looked great, would have liked to see some guac. 

Tortilla = 1.7 / 2 – Crispy in all the right ways.  All of the meat did not come out in the first bite, that is a good thing.

Meat / filling = 1.7 / 2 – The meat was good

Sauce = 1.9 / 2 – Fantastic.  Just the right consistency for thickness and flavor.  For both the green and red.  The rolled taco gave me something to eat this yummy sauce with.  I would have liked guacamole, but it did not come with them.  Rolled tacos

Value = 1.9 / 2 $1.59 – Great price for this taco

Total Score 8.9 / 10
