Taco Boy’s- Taco Review - Tempe AZ



Taco Boy’s

On Rural North of Apache Blvd.

1015 S. Rural Rd, Tempe, AZ

 

My cousin Kelsee Recommended this one.  Thanks Kelsee! They have a location in Phoenix and the Tempe location is a newer one.  Great place, great atmosphere and busy.  Opens at 10am and people are outside waiting.

 

Everything for the most part just comes with meat on the tortilla and you can dress it how you please from their salsa bar, cilantro, onions, sauces, cabbage and so on.  I really liked that aspect of it.  

The tortillas are not made in house.  They are made by a vendor, but made fresh daily.  The cashier, not sure who he is was very friendly with me asking him about the tortillas.  Not all the taco shops have been as friendly, they sometimes take great offense to being asked if they make them in house.  Taco Boy’s has some class.  

I will work on asking it, as smoothly and nicely as possible.  

 

Asada Corn & Flour Taco Review: 




Appearance = 1.7 / 2 – Looked great

Tortilla = 1.7 / 2 – Both corn and flour are great.  The corn was double tortillas, but I was able to pull them a part without ruining the entire integrity of the taco.  

Meat / filling = 1.7 / 2 – Asada, not dry, ate some by itself.  Just comes with asada.  Tasted great just asada, but then added cilantro, cabbage and sauce. Moved it up a notch.   

Sauce = 1.7 / 2 – Green sauce, was my favorite, really added to the taco.  The red one is hot, great flavor.  The thick red-ish one, did not really notice anything flavor wise from it.  It is a pass for me.  The Avocado sauces was good too.  If I could only get one sauce it would be the green one. 

Value = 1.7 / 2  $2.69 – With how much meat you get and how good the tortillas are, great value here.

Total Score  8.5 / 10  

 

Vampiro Taco Review: 




Appearance = 1.0 / 2 – Looked ok

Tortilla = 0.0 / 2 – Chewey!  Maybe because it is not cooked in lots of oil.  Not sure the reason, just did not like it.  Compared it to Unos Tacos Vampiro and there was not a comparison.  Both have great asada, just the way this one was cooked.  

Meat / filling = 1.7 / 2 – Great Aada

Sauce = 1.7 / 2 – Green sauce, was my favorite, really added to the taco.  The red one is hot, great flavor.  The thick red-ish one, did not really notice anything flavor wise from it.  It is a pass for me.  The Avocado sauces was good too.  If I could only get one sauce it would be the green one.

Value = 0.0 / 2  $2.69 – 

Total Score 4.4 / 10  - I would pass on this one.

 

Pastor Taco Review: 




Appearance = 1.7 / 2 – Looked good

Tortilla = 1.7 / 2 – Great tortilla, tasted cooked and the right textures.  

Meat / filling = 1.8 / 2 – It tasted different from other pastor I have had lately in a good way.  Seemed to have a little to heat to it.  Really enjoyed eating this one.  

Sauce = 1.7 / 2 – Green sauce, was my favorite, really added to the taco.  The red one is hot, great flavor.  The thick red-ish one, did not really notice anything flavor wise from it.  It is a pass for me.  The Avocado sauces was good too.  If I could only get one sauce it would be the green one.  

Value = 1.7 / 2  $2.69 – 

Total Score 8.6  / 10  - Great Taco

 

 

I should have tried the chicken.  I got so annoyed with how awful the chicken was from Unos I did not order chicken here.  I will have to come back soon to try it.

Biscuit Tacos

Biscuit Tacos Turned out so good.  I bought these taco molds from Amazon, seem to work pretty good.  Had a disaster with frying wonton wrappers, but that is a different story.   Take some buttermilk biscuits add flour and roll them out and thin as you can.  I would recommend rolled all of the ones you are going to cook at once.  I noticed the 2 I saved for later were harder to work with being out of the fridge and opened.   I put the rolled out biscuits in the taco molds.  I can imagine that you could use a wad of foil or something to make these.  I used the airfryer, for speed and I like how it cooks bread.  I cooked at 350 degrees for 7 minutes or so turning it 3 times. It may take longer depending on your airfyer or oven.   I made Pepper Gravy from Walmart or Sams.  It is pretty cheap and easy to make.  Don’t make gravy from scratch too much, because of this mix. I...

Crumbl Cookie Review 01/18/22 week of  Jan 17-22   PEANUT BUTTER FT. REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP Our signature peanut butter cookie topped with melty peanut butter chips and chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  This one the cookie was pretty peanut buttery and I liked it.  The reese’s toppings were great.   8/10   The Copycat recipe I feel tasted better than the actual crumbl. The Copycat was thinner and easier to eat chew and better texture.  Copycat recipe is from @Chahinex_tbt  https://lifestyleofafoodie.com/crumbl-peanut-butter-reeses-cookies/#recipe-link .     9/10   ROCKY ROAD A dark chocolate cookie stuffed with gooey marshmallow filling then covered in semi-sweet chocolate chips and almonds. It was very chocolaty.  The middle with the marshmallow was the best part.  If I could recreate this for myself I would have smaller marshmallows spread all around that would cook inside the cookies...
