Wadaa Street Tacos

This place is pretty awesome. I love street tacos its been a new thing of mine. Ive been to plenty of taco shops and this one is amazing. Im craving them right now. Menu is pretty simple.
We got 4 Asada tacos and 2 chicken tacos. Let me just say the meat was the best. You can really tell that they grilled it with the flavor. Meat was tender enough. Chicken was juicy. A bit expensive but i think well worth it!
One thing i would change is they should add a little more array of salsa. They have one REALLY hot red one and a nice green one. Maybe add a mild one in there?

best drunken taco spot, probably ever. keep in mind this is like a walk up, there is no seating around, not a bad thing, just a heads up.

WORST TACOS and misleading advertising. Let’s start with the fact that just because you have a open window store front on a street doesn’t give you the right to label you’re tacos «street tacos.» Let’s leave that honor to the proper establishments like King Taco in Los Angeles.
Moreover, a traditional «street taco» has the basics starting with and most importantly… A CORN TORTILLA, NOT FLOWER! Now if you’re trying to have the basic «street taco» then you missed the point by just offering asada y polo. Maybe substitute your chopped cabbage, with some cilantro. Try substituting your liquid green paste with real avocado guacamole. Instead of generic store bought pico de gallo, maybe serve diced white onions. And last but not least, maybe substitute your ground red chile with water for some actual flavorful salsa.
I would like to note that I have never given a bad review in Unilocal,but these tacos reminded me of eating a Taco Bell taco… only worse.
Oh, and I believe it is state law to offer your customers a receipt and not tell them that you can’t or to come back in an hour, just saying.

Good tacos in Scottsdale. I loved seeing the fire go through the grill, capturing a nice aroma onto the meat and tortillas. I like that the menu is simple with only chicken and steak to order from.
The tacos are bigger in size than regular street tacos I encounter with a more generous portion of meat and cheese. I wish they had a sign or something that says whether you can choose flour or corn tortillas as I automatically received flour, but then saw the guy before me receiving corn. Who wants flour tortillas?! Also, the tacos are a bit more on the pricey side at $ 3 bucks each.
Make sure you add the sauce to your tacos cause that’s what really brings out the flavor. Cool hole-​in-​the-​wall– establishment. I’m just spoiled by the tacos in San Diego, CA.

Soooo delicious! I love the steak taco & how fast the service is! So glad there’s an alternative to Gus’ pizza after drinking! Thank you

Paid $ 16 for 2 disappointing street tacos. They were on one corn tortilla with meat on one box then the other had the toppings thrown in that box. If I knew $ 3 Tacos meant 1 taco on a single tortilla, I would’ve gone to Garcia’s Mexican restaurant paid $ 11 for 3 street tacos with rice and beans. I will not be ordering from a place that left me hungry after almost paying $ 20 and unsatisfied. I don’t recommend, Just go somewhere that will serve you appetizing food instead.

Love this place. Fast and good. I get the steak tacos with no cheese. Add a little pico and guac sauce and you are good to go! $ 3 each — just 2 choices here– steak or chicken! Busy at lunch but they keep the line moving.

You haven’t experienced Old Town until you’ve been to Wada drunk. Or sober. It doesn’t matter, just come here.

Oh I found out you can get corn or flour… which means the guys there thought I’d prefer flour more ;_​; …guys, I’m from LA yo.
Anyways the next time I’m in Scottsdale, I’ll get corn tortillas. lol.

When the tortillas are hot and the cheese is melted
There’s no better street taco in AZ. Period. They’re that damn good. I’m addicted

Really good for a quick bit!
Wish the have bigger salad bar and chairs to sit.
Anyway… great service!!!

I love how they keep things simple.
Their carne asada tacos are some of the most authentic tacos I have had outside out of Mexico.
If you go late at night, make sure to get your food before 2 am or you’re in for a long wait. It’s that good

Location for this place is obviously great, but that’s not what makes this spot a 5 star for me. The food alone deserve a 5 star. They are huge tacos, so don’t assume you will eat as many as you would with smaller sized tacos. On a side note, you will smell like bbq by the time you’re with your order, but well worth it.

Two types of tacos only (chicken/​steak). $ 3 each. The meat is high quality. The flour tortillas not so much (very doughy/​not homemade or warmed up etc.).
They have a station where you can get limes, pico and cabbage. None of which were maintained well.
Overall just ok.

Some damn good tacos. Cheap, quick, and surprising filling!
Ask them to hold the flys. There are a lot flying around. But then again, they are street tacos. You can’t expect a 5 star presentation
Would recommend.

Oh my goodness, if you love authentic street tacos, you will die and go to heaven at Wadaa. It is a simple walk-​up window and there are no tables so plan on enjoying your scrumptious tacos elsewhere. The menu is very basic, you order chicken or steak, flour or corn tortilla (meat comes with cheese sprinkled on it) and then you add your own fresh salsas, cabbage, lime juice, etc. They are literally to die for! Each taco is $ 3 and for me, 2 tacos were plenty because I loaded on the cabbage and salsa! I got 1 of each and loved them both equally! I will be back very soon!

Hands down my favorite street taco ever! You’re bar-​hopping through old town Scottsdale when suddenly you smell burning meat goodness. Is it BBQ? Someone grilling steaks? You follow your nose a little further though the bars and it leads you to WAdAA! a cool little taco stand. There they’re grilling up their meats using wood. Walk a little closer to where the action happens and you feel the aromatic heat hit you full force. How they work in that open oven I have no idea. But I’m glad they do it. The meat has this beautiful char, and as you bite through it, it’s the most perfect tender/​juicy meat you’ll find in a taco. Add all the fixings they have on the side and you’re golden. I can’t tell you the name of any bars we went to that night, but WAdAA! is where it’s at! We ate there 3 times in the 2 days we visited.

Drunk food doesn’t get better than this. Carne, salsa, lime, $ 3, it’s perfect. Plus the people watching here at 2 AM is great. Loads of terrible people with impaired judgement. The last time I was here I saw a girl knock another girl’s cell phone out of her hand, breaking it and subsequently refusing to pay for it after repeated drunken demands. Proceed to escalation: name calling, stumbling around in high heels, aggressive posturing, male friends stepping in trying to defuse the situation. No such luck, as girl A hops into a golf cart, girl B runs over to her, grabs her phone and spikes it on the concrete. More escalation, followed by the storming off of Girl B with her broken cell phone after threats of police intervention.
Where else in the Phoenix metro area do you get to see live-​action Jersey Shore while eating a delicious $ 5 taco?
Entertainment, price, product, Wadaa has it all.

hold on, licking my fingers…
ok, im ready. I expected this to be 2am bar closing food. And, ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would smash this after a club night. However… its also perfect at 11:44 — 11:46 am. 4 Tacos down in two min. Yum. Grilled over Mesquite Wood. Tried steak and Chicken and both corn and flour. I suggest Steak on Corn. Pico is fresh and really good. Im impressed, best street tacos ive had in AZ so far. Id love a buy 3 get one free @ $ 3 a piece… but that was a damn fine $ 12 lunch. Will be back.
***I expect the pic below is not meant as an insult, not meant as a salute. I think its merely a friendly reminder to lick your fingers clean of the deliciousness after your are done inhaling your order.

Miguel’s tacos are so yummy. The food is fresh. The pico is awesome with a little bite of spice. They now have flour tacos! The price is super reasonable. Try the homemade Horchata!
There’s street tacos and then there’s the ones from this location. I seriously need them each week. That’s not a joke. I wish Miguel made his pico for sale because I would use it at home. Yes. It’s that good.
The chicken and steak tacos are some of the best I have had in the valley. Gabriella (one of the awesome people who work there) told me that they marinate the meat to make sure it’s as tasty as possible.
When you drive by them, no matter the time of day, there are always people in line. That says a lot when you look around and see who their neighbors are in the area who also have tacos on their menus.
