******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS******Tacos Tequila Whiskey is an award winning group of a few Denver Based Restaurants with one location in Phoenix AZ. Just one of the several awards T. T. W. received was a Top 50 best new restaurants by Bon Appetit Magazine. T.T.W. serves mainly Tacos and small batch Tequilas and Whiskey Drinks. This is a casual small restaurant with wait service.

Tacos Tequila Whiskey looks sort of like a garage from the entrance and lacks a large sign.

They offer a dog friendly patio.

When you walk in it looks like you order at the counter but you seat yourself.

From my seat the patio looks like this.

We started out by sharing the Arugula and Watermelon salad. The kitchen was nice enough to split it for us.

I thought the salad was very good. The watermelon was fresh, sweet and almost crisp. The peppery arugula was flavorful. I thought the roasted pistachios made the salad pop. The creamy goat cheese and balsamic dressing just made the salad delicious and rounded everything out. It was a very nice salad.

Between us we tried 7 different tacos.

All the tacos we tried were street sized. They are the smaller tacos but most of them were served over stuffed. They were also served doubled shelled on corn tortillas.

At the last Tacolandia Festival in Phoenix I thought among the tastiest tacos of the festival was the mushroom taco from Tacos Tequila Whiskey. Today the best one I tried was the Beer Battered Fish Taco (in the photo above on the right hand side). It was very difficult to eat because it was like the tortilla was too small to wrap around the filling. It was like King Kong trying to squeeze into a Barbie Doll Dress…….It’s just not going to happen. Anyways…… the fish did taste mild, was flaky and the batter was flavorful. The fish taco was very tasty.

Maybe my least favorite I tried was the Pollo Agave (it’s the fried chicken taco to the left in the above picture). I liked the coating on the chicken and I also liked the chicken but this taco is just pure sweetness. The Chimichurri isn’t aggressive enough to cut the sweetness. The tortillas were also the worst on this taco.

The tortilla turned wet, sweet and seemed almost raw. I don’t think these tortillas were grilled enough.

My husband’s favorite taco was the Pork Belly Taco. He thought it had more flavors than the others he tried but he also thought the fish taco was tasty too.

Service was very friendly and various workers checked on us during our stay.
