I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
In recent years, Arizona has become quite a foodie destination. With several celebrity chefs and James Beard award-winning eateries, excellent dining options abound here. And if you’re looking for award-winning tacos in Phoenix, well, we have those here, too! Welcome to CRUjiente Tacos where you’ll dine on some of the most flavorful, unique tacos you’ve ever had.
When it comes to tacos, Arizona does it right. While there are so many incredible taco places around the state, CRUjiente Tacos does them like no other place can.
Located at 39th and East Camelback Road in Phoenix, CRUjiente Tacos touts itself as a "modern neighborhood taqueria" that offers its own unique take on how tacos are made.
It may come as no surprise that its won numerous awards over the years including Grand Champion of the Taco Festival (2017 and 2018) and the 2017 Foodist Award for Best Tacos.
(Phoenix Magazine called the taco pictured here the "Best Pork Belly in the Valley.")
Among the incredibly tasty taco creations CRUjiente has to offer include a Beef Short Rib Taco, a Crunchy Pork Taco, and a Korean Fried Chicken Taco. Whatever tacos you order, you'll. be impressed by the flavors and the creativity. They certainly aren't your typical tacos!
Not only are there award-winning tacos at this establishment but award-winning margaritas as well! In 2017, 2018, and 2019, Phoenix Magazine called them the "Best Margaritas in the Valley." And they are just as creative as the tacos.
