Located in the heart of Tempe, Arizona, Karla’s Taco Shop is making a name for itself in the local culinary scene. Patrons rave about the vibrant, authentic flavors that capture the essence of Mexican cuisine. Miguel Rosas highlights the delectable taco plate, describing the perfectly cooked beans and rice alongside a delightfully spicy salsa, complemented by the welcoming atmosphere fostered by the friendly staff.

For those seeking a hearty snack, the carne asada fries come highly recommended. Melanie Lam enjoyed the flavor-packed dish, even if the cheese could have been melted a bit more. Similarly, Zenus Wilson, reminiscing about his time in San Diego, found the breakfast burritos to be a nostalgic highlight, perfectly balanced and non-greasy, showcasing the restaurant's ability to cater to special requests.

With a cozy ambiance and decor that reflects a local charm, Karla’s is ideal for those who appreciate a community-centric dining experience. Whether it’s the generous portions of nachos and churros enjoyed by Luis Miguel Luna or the tantalizing Surf and Turf burrito beloved by Kyle Jeng, each visit promises a warm welcome and memorable bites.

I really liked my food. I got the carne asada fries. The flavor was good and a good amount of food. I really like the salsa too. The price was good and the service was fast. The only issue I had was that the cheese was not melted even by the time I got home.

In town for a wedding and this place was nearby us. Lived in San Diego for 6 years and missed the amazing breakfast burritos. I ate them all the time at multiple small “bertos” taco shop. For you SoCal mexican lovers—this is the spot (even carne asada fries 3). Can confidently say this place lands in my top 3 breakfast burritos I’ve had in my life. We had prime rib at the wedding and I still think these burritos were a highlight for me of the weekend. Perfectly balanced, not greasy, piping hot, and love both sauces particularly the spicy red salsa. Made me cry with nostalgia. Super friendly service. Appreciate being flexible with special requests. I will 100% come back here if we’re ever in the area.

Went with my brother for the first time a couple weeks ago. Ordered nachos, a chimichanga, a taco and churros for both of us for about 35 bucks. The taste was great and the portions were even better. The dining room was full but the noise level wasn't bad. Loved the posters and decorations. My favorite kind of smaller locals restaurant. Will be making my way back here in the next few weeks for sure.

I ordered the Surf and Turf burrito, and it was great! The portion size was respectable, and Yulie was kind to give me sauce bottles with my order.

I've eaten here a couple times, and I've gotta say, this place is easily my favorite for burritos. Their shrimp burrito is bomb, and so is their Arizona burrito. Service is always quick, and the people who run the front are always polite. The prices are very reasonable, and definitely worth it.

Went around 9 pm. Ordered asada fries and a shrimp taco. The girl was very nice. The food was so good! Asada fries had plenty of toppings and the fries themself were perfectly cooked. The shrimp taco was super good too! A lot of shrimp in it. The shrimp isn’t breaded. Really gives a fresh take on shrimp tacos it was well worth it! Definitely my go-to taco shop from now on
