This Fish Shop belongs to the category of Taco restaurant.
If you like overpriced food, to wait for 20 minutes to order in a crammed restaurant only to find you still have to make your own food (they only give you meat and a tortilla then you have to guess what everything is at their "add on" bar because only 1/4 of the items are labeled... I seriously put ketchup on my taco thinking it was salsa as nothing was labeled as it should have been) then to also find there is no where to sit? Then you'll love this place. It was chaotic and unorganized and was not authentic in anyway... very disappointed which I did inform them about and they could care less, just wanted me out of the way...
Food is aaaaaaamazing!!! They have a little salsa/toppings bar so you can customize your taco however you want! Surf & Turf was
Omg the fish tacos and fries are amazing
Ok :) with too many customers
Been here before, the people complaining about the tacos; just go here for the shrimp tacos, because they are baja style. I just wish they would warm up the Tortilla.
I LOVE their fish tacos! I LOVE their fixins bar as well. They have some of the hottest hot sauce around and it is tasty. I love to order the tacos then build a salad on it and the additional sauces and condiments...DELISH!! This place definitely hits the spot when you have a craving. Their shrimp tacos are always a must as well I build them up the same way. Prices are not that bad either considering I make a huge salad using the cabbage mix. This is a must try! My only complaint is that I wish the service was more efficient during the lunch rush. Their doesn't seem to be a sense of urgency at their busiest times of the day making me late from my lunch break.
So delicious! And lots of yummy sauces.
Phoenix has lot of Mexican restaurants here and this has to be one of the popular ones.
Place is beyond good. Fish and shrimp tacos are outstanding. The salsa bar is fully stocked with more than anywhere else. The Barbacoa is great. You have to try the full taco.
Love this place. It's got a salsa bar so you just get the plain taco then put the toppings in yourself. Tuesday is Taco Tuesday, but 2 get one free tacos. Used to be Tortilla Fish but changed their name.
Go here! It’s good for lunch or dinner. I love all the topping options and the extra hot salsa. The portion sizes are awesome, too. My favorite thing to get here in the #1 combo (3 carne asada tacos, rice and beans). The people who work there are nice.
Amazing tacos, friendly staff, and the condiments bar is loaded with amazing sauces. House sauce is highly recommended. Must try if you haven't already!
Delicious tacos and toppings. We always go there to eat authentic Mexican food.
So tasty! Delicious food, great salsa bar and taco Tuesday deals
tried out this place heard about it on the radio and I was not impressed at all. one the selection. is super small.. n the price is outrageous. 3.79 for one taco... ummm yeah no..... the meat is cut up in BIG chunks and the taste was nothing special.. I will have to say not going back to this spot.. i would not call it a taco shop as the selection is more seafood.....
Great food!
Very tasty, fast, and reasonably priced. Some of our favorites are the fried chicken, shrimp, and carne asada tacos. Love the salsa/toppings bar as well! Definitely a gem and too good to be stuck between a Panda Express and a Game Stop.
Love the food and the staff. Best fish tacos in town. I recommend the full taco, so big you can make two out of one!
Today we had a craving for tacos and wanted to try a new place. My boyfriend and I both had the Combo 1 with the shrimp tacos and Mixed... He had fries and I had rice and beans. Boy, those tacos are heafty!!! And delicious!!! They have a salsa bar, you can get toppings and hot sauce. For me I love hot sauce and it was not hot at all. But overall my favorite had to be the chili oil. Nice flavor with a little kick. Rice and beans were okay but the fries are good! Very crispy! I would definitely eat here again and recommend to friends and family.
Great place for burritos! You get to select what you want in your burrito from the amazing salsa bar.
Still the best shrimp/fish taco I have ever had. I used to visit baja mexico often and this place is even better than the taco shops there. The owner and staff are extremely nice. Don't look past the fry's either, I don't know what kinda batter or fryer they use but the frys are excellent too. Love all the salsas and sauces at the taco bar. Both locations are equally excellent.
It was a good place to eat next time I'll try the surf and turf
Best fish tacos outside of Baja
Best tacos around!! Great service and people!!
Good
Really good flavor, delicious shrimp tacos. Love their salsas!! Not the average fast food restaurant!! You'll like it a lot!!!
Great lil tacoshop
Still my favorite fish taco spot even after the name change from Tortilla Fish. They are soo good! Best fish tacos you'll ever have. I'm not talking about plain fish tacos, I'm talking about dressing those bad boys up in the salsa bar they have there at the shop. With all the fixings, your fish tacos will be tasting great!
The food was decent at best, but the restuarant was filthy. There was stains all over the floor and bits of steak under tables (place was not busy so it's not like they just got through lunch hour). Got shrimp tacos that were bland and the Cole slaw topping was tasteless. I would not recommend based on the experience I had.
A little pricey in my opinion, but they have a great salsa bar and the service was impeccable.
Amazing carne asada street tacos. A must experience.
Best fish tacos I can find!
Authentic, delicious tacos. You won't find fish machaca tacos liken these anywhere else. Athough I usually go seafood, I had the carne asada today and it's fantastic!
Pretty good. Ordered the chicken taco, comes with just chicken, you have to take any toppings you want from the salsa bar. Good though.
Delicious carne asada tacos. Excellent quality! I love the condiment/toppings bar! We’ll be back...especially on Taco Tuesday. What a great deal.
The absolute best fish tacos in Arizona. The breading is perfect and the portions are large. I recommend you get two fish tacos and an extra couple tortillas because it will make enough for four. You'll be satiated. The salsas, pico de gallo, toppings, and hot sauces are all authentic Mexican and very tasty. There are a few of my favorite hot sauces (salsas) here that I have only seen in restaurants in Mexico. Don't forget Taco Tuesday - 3 for the price of 2. Go any day though. Enjoy.
Fish and shrimp tacos are my go-to when it comes to quick affordable taco joints, having said that the quality is superb. Fresh tasting, lightly battered, fried delicately, and a great salsa/garnish bar to dress your tacos to perfection. Try Taco Tuesday for a real deal but plan to wait for a table. I highly recommend if you're looking for tacos.
So good. Everything I have had here so far has been tasty and fresh. Fast, yummy food and inexpensive for a good meal.
Great tacos! Very fresh. Always friendly. Usually say welcome the minute you walk in always nice to be noticed right away.
Super fire tacos, made fresh delicious, surf and turf my fav
Awesome refreshing Mexican food with some of the best french fries and beans you could imagine!!
Excellent fish tacos and buy 2 get one free on Tuesdays makes them even better.
I love this place! Their food is reasonably priced and tastes great! Some of the best tacos in town! They have a great salsa bar as well. The staff are always friendly.
Machaca fish tacos are great! Great condiments bar! Must try this one if you like fish tacos.
I spend half my paycheck here. Authentic AF, great spice bar. This place is so, so, so damn good
The tacos at this shop are absolutely amazing. They have a great salsa bar, too, with a wide variety of choices. The staff there are great and always make sure that your food is up to their high standards. They even have a buy 2 get 1 deal for Taco Tuesday that's just too good to pass up. Definitely a treat place to go for a quick bite if you're craving tacos.
Great little taco shop. Guys there were great help and the food was delicious.
Great fish taco, never disappointed!
I'm addicted to the fish at this place. Its so good I get the fish only 2 - 4 times a week. Can't get enough of it. It tastes like nothing I have ever had in my life.
Excellent food and nice people. My wife loved this place and remind her Mexico. Good work guys!
Incredible!!! I've lived in az 26 years and this is by far one of my favorite restaurants and the best burritos I've ever had. Highly recommend.
I have found my new favorite taco shop! Sooo good
Food is great and quick! French fries are my favorite here sooo delicious if you are a potato lover.
Good food, quick service.
Very good and not over priced
Good tacos and great salsa bar.
Simple, fast service. Wonderfull food. Best tacos around. 10/10
Amazingly fresh food. Fast and friendly service. Never miss a chance to stop here when in PHX.
I ordered takeout. One whole meal left out. Even after confirming with the person at the counter everything was there. Bag was tied in a knot, so I trusted they knew what was made. Found out when I got home. After a long day at work, this was truly annoying. Then no sour cream was in the bag that I requested. On top of items missing, the food was terrible!! Chicken tacos, literally tortillas with cut up pieces of chicken and THAT WAS IT! Fish tacos, cut up soggy fried fish with some melted American cheese??? No flavor, no spice. Is this a Mexican restaurant??? I can’t comment on the steak quesadillas i ordered as they were missing... I’m SHOCKED this place has so many good reviews! Will never go back!
Awesome food and service. Highly recommend the full taco! This place is always very clean and the food is always spot on. Best fish tacos in Phoenix that I have had.
Love this place! Love their food! Great tacos and salsa!! Unexpected find that I would recommend anyone for taco Tuesday!
Best fish tacos in town. Have been going here since 3 years now and still has that same great taste
Best street style tacos around! Known for their fish and shrimp tacos, but the carne asada and Pollo are also some of the best around!
Had a surf and turf and 2 fish tacos. the fish was really really good. shrimp in the surf and turf was good. steak was a little chewy. they have a toppings salad bar which is a super good idea. the tomatillo salsa was good. cheap too.
I have been going to this place since they opened up in Tempe. I wish they had one East of the 101! I drive from the Southeast valley to enjoy their fish tacos and in house made salsa. Love having a salsa that has heat and flavor! Those are hard to come by. I personally enjoy the Extra Hot and Hot. Love the dress up your taco bar. So many options. Great place!
Love this place! It’s right by my job and even when they’re busy they still have great customer service. Today’s visit was around 2 pm on a Friday and it was nice and slow. Massive burrito too for the price it’s good!
Definitely a cool place to visit for an Out-of-Towner. I thought of it almost like a white castle for tacos. They are like the size of sliders, and you can get 3-5 in an order. The steak is very tender and flavorful. My only issue was the condiment bar. It was not labeled well, and we had to ask for guidance on everything. They also did not have shredded cheese.
Seriously some of the best tacos I've had in a very long time! I loved that you could put whatever toppings you wanted on it yourself too!
Good times and great food.
Taco Tuesday: buy 2 get 1 free fish tacos! The best!
Wonderful food It was delicious i felt like i was at the beach
Great place for lunch or dinner. The food is GREAT
This is about 5 min from my place. I eat here quite a bit. Always happy with my food and service. Nice people. Great fish tacos.
Fish tacos are bomb.com
They have the freshest fish tacos I have ever had. If u r from the Midwest u will love their fish and chips
Very good.
My favorite place in Tempe for Fish tacos. I've been coming since it opened and the quality and service are always amazing. And if you don't want fish, they have a growing number of other options to choose from as well.
I was pleasantly surprised by Santa Madre. I had a fish burrito (my Rubio's staple and comparison chip) with some simple salsa verde. First off, that was a big, fat, wonderfully rotund burrito for the $5-6 I paid for it. VERY exciting. Breaking point: I normally like rice in my burritos but they add it in pre salsa so when they drown it in whatever you choose at the salsa bar for inclusion, the end result was fairly soppy and could have been better. I'm not a huge Chipotle (restaurant) fan but their fluffy rice is a good comparison point. Verdict: I will be back, I greatly look forward to other options!
Nice size portions and nice prices... made to order so it takes a few minutes.... but worth the wait... friendly staff even offered me a water cup...
Very good
Employees were great. Food is alright. Its fresh and prepared well, just not my favorite carne asada or salsa. Also I think its weird that they put street tacos on flour tortillas by default.
Get the fish tacos they are delish!!!! Employees are happy and the place is small but clean....try it you'll love it!
Absolutely delicious food, hit up their taco Tuesdays for a better price too.
Awesome fish tacos! Everything is made in house and is always fresh. The employees are awesome. Today owner was there and out tacos were everything we missed since we moved.
One of my Taco Tuesday handouts. Good prices and good tacos
You order tacos to go, and they only give you carne asada and tortillas. $7 and you expect me to make my own tacos? I understand salsa and lime, but you can't at least put the cilantro and cabbage on? I come home to find my taco empty. 2 stars.
Fish tacos are to die for! Amazing topping and sauces to choose from.
Great tacos, even better on Taco Tuesday when you buy 2 get 1 free!
Love the fish tacos at this place. Can't go wrong eating here.
Soooo delicious! They are really close to 5 stars. They have a great salsa bar, and the full taco is amazing. I wish they had the Freestyle Coke machine with all the flavors, though. They do have a thing where you enter your phone number each visit and get goodies now and then. I enjoy eating here if I'm in the area!
I get chicken and shrimp tacos. They're made like fish tacos, battered and fried. Great salsa/condiment bar. Muy sabroso!
Well was lookin for a new taco spot seen this place pop up on Facebook decided to check out it. Wasnt let down by the other reviews gotta say walked in place ie clean and cold not very big but thats alright! Ended gettin carne asada fries nice big portions but i believe they coulda added a bit more carne to it but fries were fresh out the fryer semi season to perfection! My lunch date got a burrito and this thing is HUGE definitely no let down here at this place kinda pricey but i believe its worth will definitely be back!!
The Santa Madre Taco Shop is a dine-in and take out restaurant in which I totally enjoyed one of my ideal foods which is fish. The restaurant is cozy and casual with happy Mexican music and a pleasant atmosphere. The fish they had used was Pacific Halibut which was perfectly and deliciously fried and served with fresh French fries and a variety of mixed vegetables, salads and special sauces. They make everything when you order and their food is never pre-made. They have a variety of tacos including fish, shrimp, mixed, chicken, and full taco plus steamed fish. They also have Quesadillas, salads and kids menu and beverages are soft drinks and bottled water. The restaurant has been in present location for the past four and a half years and has indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. They also have all the required accessibility conveniences for adult and children including for wheel chair users in terms of parking, entrance, sitting and bathroom use. Service was efficient and kind.
Santa Madre style is the way to go! The tacos are awesome and the burritos are huge.
The fish tacos are delicious!
Love their food! Fish tacos with the tarter sauce ... so good.
Everything's made freshly at the time it is ordered so takes a little bit longer to get it sometimes, but I found it really worth the wait. It was a good value on its own, but especially so using the buy one taco and drink and get a free taco offer through another app I use. every time I go, the staff are professional and friendly, the dining room is pretty well maintained, and there are always people there. If I had to change one thing, I'd consider a better ventilation and cleaning of the bathroom.
Omg it was delicious! service was Great and it was so welcoming of an atmosphere!
Cheap price very good carne asada
Really good fish tacos. We also did shrimp ones, but liked the fish better. Should have tried the carne asada, maybe next time. Fries are really good too. The salsa bar is outstanding, coleslaw, cabbage, onion+cilantro, pico, cucumber, pickled red onion, roasted peppers, jalepenos, 5 different sauces, and 3 salsas. Not a fan of the watermelon iced tea.
I've been coming here for years, and everything on the menu is amazing! They're fries are also great.
Good size tacos. Shrimp tacos are good and asada ones have good flavor. Hot salsa a little on the salty side but other than that good place for a quick bite.
The Surf and turf taco was delicious. They serve the taco naked and you dress it up yourself with fresh ingredients from the salsa bar.
My favorite place in Tempe, probably my favorite place In AZ for food actually. Everything here is so delicious, the staff is always very friendly and welcoming, the prices are great. Huge portions. I HIGHLY recommend to everyone.
I love the sizes of the tacos and the condiment bar is perfect. Prices are totally reasonable. Great taco spot.
Only one guy working, small place, had my doubts when I walked in. I ordered fish and shrimp tacos. They were delivered plain, added sauces and salsas to my liking, gotta say, PRETTY DANG GOOD! The shrimp and fish were cooked just right. I would definately come back.
The go to place for fish tacos! Can’t find anymore authentic baja style than this. The guys there are good at what they do and take care of our large orders fast and never get them wrong. Like I said, tacos are the best but the quesadillas are also good too. Nothing you won’t like on that menu
Friendly staff. Great tacos. Attractive women serving you. Craft beer. What's not to like?
Shrimp and fish tacos are good there.
Awesome food large portions fantastic
Good fish tacos. The Mexican rice is more of the wet-style, while the refried beans are very smooth. The Barbacoa taco was fairly bland. They have a condiment/salsa bar so you can dress your tacos how you like. Everything is reasonably priced. I will definitely be going back for more fish tacos, and to sample more menu items.
Good food good prices
Sooo good!! So much flavor! Sad we moved away from you guys now
Val is my fav.
The carne asada was bland and chewy.
Delicious mexican food. I love their red onions and jalapeños in soy sauce on the carne asada tacos. Good job guys!
Very good fish tacos and the salsas are very good. Spicy good. Mmmmm will be back.
I love their Bean and cheese burritos. Their prices are so affordable.
Really solid taco place with a limited selection but what it does have it does well. Homey for sure. Definitely try their fish tacos if you like battered fish.
Great tacos. My favorite spot for fish tacos. Good taco Tuesday deal
First time here and never coming back. The burrito was made way too fast and the meat like it had been sitting there a while. Gave me a stomach ache and never again. Definetly not a place to get fresh cooked food.
Fish tacos are very good! Deep fried fish with a yellow pepper and melted cheese, inside a corn tortilla. They have a full salsa bar, filled with house made salsas! Rice and beans are delicious, not burnt! It's a small place, but awesome food and friendly staff. Would recommend all taco lovers!
Absolutely awesome food.
It was good the first time I went. It was alright the second time. And the third was even lower. Well priced, quick turn arou d after ordering. But for whatever reason, each time we've gone it has just seems to slip more and more.
Thought I'll never like fish tacos! Thought it sounded gross, but until I had then I never looked back I will only eat fish tacos from them. Wish I knew there batter and the jalapeno deep fried with the cheese. You guys killed it. #the cobblegirl
I like going here because their tacos are delicious. I go there pretty much every week for Taco Tuesday, which for them is buy 2 tacos and get one free. They stack their fish tacos with a lot of meat. It's an awesome value in my opinion.
Was disappointed. Pictures looked good I went of the reviews on this place and it was nothing to the point.. carne asada tacos was cold the meat was cold. Beans and rice well taco bell is about the same but it's ready as you order. I had to wait. Finished my cold tacos then the beans n rice came. Only reson I'm not giving it 1 star is because the soda was good.. definitely not coming back
Customer service was ok, floor was extremely dirty, food was terrible. Giving it 2 stars based on service
Kind of pricey for the carne asada taco combo! Beans really tasty but the rice was not. Place was messy we had to clean our own table. The only thing I liked was the Salsa Bar. Would I come back again, probably not..
Super tasty and authentic tacos! Their taco Tuesday special is really great too (buy two tacos, get one free). They have burritos and nachos as well.
Nice little place with great food! I'm always concerned about the size of the taco based on the price, no problem here. The tacos are served basically with the corn tortillas and the selected meat and you dress it up with all the goodies at the salsa bar. The fish tacos were fluffy and delicious!! We'll be back for sure!
Delicious fish and carne asada tacos. Great salsa bar to put your favorite toppings on your food. Red chile sauce has good flavor and good quick hit to your taste buds if you like some spice (not that hot).
Excellent and authentic fish tacos. It's like being back on the Baja coast. Try the Gobernador and the Campenchana tacos.
Casual taco restaurant. I had the 3 asada taco combo with beabs and rice. They have a lot of choices for dressing tacos and barritos. I really enjoyed the tacos and beans. I was disappointed to find the garbage to full to take my trash. But I will go there again.
Great fish tacos!
This place is absolutely phenomenal. Grilled fish with the best fresh salsa bar around at a very good value.. Always satisfied after I leave there. Right across from Mor furniture
best carne asada I've tasted
One of the best "Hole-in-the-wall" Mexican places around! Good food, good prices, and friendly employees!
