" I first came across Willie's while walking around downtown Phoenix. It had a lively atmosphere that drew me in. I ordered the carne asada fries; they were generously sized and tasty! However, I was slightly disappointed with the service—it felt a bit chaotic. Still, I enjoyed my meal and will likely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had a great time at Willie's! It had such a lively, exciting atmosphere, especially with the game crowd. I ordered the baja fish tacos, which were fresh and flavorful. The staff was super friendly, making recommendations for the sauces. The only downside was the wait for food, which took longer than expected, but it was worth it for the quality. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I would like to give Willie's Taco Joint five stars, but my experience wasn't perfect. Don’t get me wrong—the tacos were delicious and made with fresh ingredients. However, the wait time was longer than expected, which can be frustrating when you're pre-gaming. The staff was friendly, but they could work on being more efficient during busy times. Regardless, I would still recommend checking it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been on a search for the best taco spot and I'm pretty sure I've found it at Willie's. The carne asada tacos were extraordinary, and the homemade salsas added an extra kick!
