I’ve heard a lot about this place and Sunday funday sounded like the perfect time to give this spot a try.
The venue is an entire vibe. I love the commitment to the church theme. Even the menus at the front mimic hymn books and bibles.
If you’re looking to grab a drink head to the bar. Our bartender was attentive and provided great suggestions. We ended up selecting margaritas and we weren’t disappointed.
I love the complimentary chips and multiple salsa options.
I ordered the lamb tacos and although the meat was tender and good eating it as a taco was a bit challenging. The grease from the meat was a bit much and I didn’t want to risk a tummy ache.
My friend ended up ordering shrimp tacos and cerci he both of which she stated he enjoyed very much.
Now I would say there are a few things to mentally prepare for
One the parking is horrendous because they are located near other prime venues. They share a parking lot with Starbucks and Buffalo Exchange so be patient while parking
Secondly, the price for tacos is a la carte and for many it may be challenging to validate the price. Perhaps take into consideration as you look at the ingredients these are top notch ingredients but of course decide for yourself
Our first experience and it was nice. Good decor and unique. We got sat next to the restroom and could smell it which wasn't ideal. The history on the walls was neat to read.
The food and drinks were good, little pricey imo. I had the Smoke on the Water margarita and would order it again. I love a good craft drink! There were 4 salsas and I liked them all!

Taco Guild is great. Some of the best margaritas I’ve had in Phoenix. The food is mostly very good, with one or two misses over my handful of visits. The tacos are very solid, but it occasionally feels like they try to do a bit too much, or be too exploratory in the flavor combinations. Sometimes they hit, other times it misses. The atmosphere is very cool, set in an old church with beautiful murals and stained glass. We’ve always enjoyed our servers and bartenders, finding all to be very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk with. It might not be the best tacos in the city, but for the drinks and atmosphere I will happily be making Taco Guild a staple.

What a surprise! A taco place in an old church! Walking in you are greeted by a very welcoming bar. The space is very inviting and you just feel comfortable sitting at a table with the vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows and peaceful feel of the place. We had the taco combination with cherry steak, cubano and lamb tacos. All were great, tender, juicy meat, deep complex flavors, tender and well accompanied with toppings designed to enhance the taco. The Oaxacan enchiladas where delicious as well. The beans were perfect. Service was fast, friendly and very knowledgeable of the food.

What a great place! Love the ambience and the fact the building is an old church, stained glass windows and all! Full bar. Chips and salsa were very good. Lots of tacos to choose from. I chose the Chicken Tinga, the El Pastor and a taco with roasted cauliflower/cabbage (don't remember the name). All were delicious. Only complaint was the corn shell fell apart as soon as I picked it up so had to eat it with a fork. ???? My friend ordered the charred romaine salad which she absolutely loved. I will definitely come back!????

A heavenly dining experience! The only place in Phoenix where Mexican food acends to the next level - between all of the sauces and dips, the massive tacos and grilled burritos, fresh chips - all in a celestial atmosphere with divine service from Sara. And the food was made and brought to us at a supernatural speed. Definitely will return again.

The church history is cool but it's the food you should care about. Guacamole was a little bland and the queso was ok. But the tacos and drinks were outstanding. Coconut shrimp and beef tacos were standouts, corn tortillas made well. Great service, cool people. And so many types of tacos leaves me wanting more!

My friends and I visited this cool restaurant based on a tip from a local who one of our friends chatted up doing personal business by phone. Great tip! I would start out saying that this rating is actually 4.5 stars. Other than our server who was slow, not terribly attentive and then misunderstood us, this restaurant is fantastic. Great tequila collection with great margaritas and other tequila cocktails. Food was also amazing with handmade corn tortillas that are fresh, great salsas and great taco fillings. The tortilla chips were of course fantastic as well. We ate far too many due to our slow service. Definitely recommend and hope that they train up all of their servers.

Lovely tacos. All are so unique and good. And the salsas are all so flavorful and delicious. It's also a cool setting, as it was an old church ⛪. I will return and highly recommend.

Liked the house margarita. Great variety of tacos. Chips were delicious with yummy salsa. Loved the live music (just a touch loud). The decor is totally cool concept.
