On my journey to go on a semi-ironic pilgrimage to all of Guy Fieri’s recommended restaurants in Arizona, I stopped at Tacos Chiwas on 20th Street and McDowell. During my first visit, I stuck to Guy’s recommendation of the Taco Chiwas, and also decided to try out their pastor taco, and they asada taco. All three tacos were wrapped in homemade tortillas and topped with a unique garnish to help accentuate each meat’s flavor. The pastor and asada was delicious and well seasoned, both of them were gone in a flash. The Taco Chiwas was topped with a unique mix of Beef, Ham, Jalapeño, Anaheim Chiles, Asadero Cheese. The ham and the texture of the beef created a pleasantly salty and savory meat combo. The peppers added a slight kick that was cooled down by the Asadero. Together they formed one of my new favorite taco combinations.
On my next visit I decided to try their Asadero Quesadilla with beef. This opened my eyes to the mouth watering goodness of Asadero cheese. The tacos are pretty good at Tacos Chiwas, but the quesadillas keep me coming back. I would highly recommend a visit, just to try out these greasy and gooey half circles.
