First and won’t be my last food was amazing! Staff was super friendly and everything was clean highly recommended
Beautiful patio area that I really enjoyed. I had a egg, bacon, cheese and potato burrito and it was very good! And the best part of all was they had very clean silverware! No spots!
I was able to finally check this place out, I saw some good reviews. I don't even live nearby but I'm so glad I had the opportunity to visit. I'm a chilaquiles fiend, and theirs is fantastic!! The Red Chile tamale is to die for as well. Next time I'll add the sauce(s), just to try it. AND the salsa is delicious and a teensy tiny bit spicy - just absolutely perfect. I demolished the salsa and I could have asked for extra, next time I will. The salsa has a deep smoked flavor, along with the fresh taste. Yummy. I will be looking for opportunities to be in the neighborhood again thank you kindly
Best Mexican food around? His is the first place I've been able to order a kids meal and not get shade from staff. Portions are huge but the kids meal portion is just perfect for a small eater like me. Chips and salsa are spiritual!
We had great service and delicious food. Staff kept coming by table to ask if we needed anything else.
BEST PLACE IN PHOENIX FOR MEXICAN BREAKFAST! DELICIOUS AND NOT EXPENSIVE! 2 PEOPLE COST UNDER 30.....
Needed a quick place for lunch with gluten-free options and they did not disappoint. They were very busy but efficiently worked through the line to order. We received a basket of chips and salsa, cups for drinks, and a number. It was packed so we were lucky to find a table for two. It was also quite loud during their lunchtime rush, which was to be expected. The restaurant is decorated brightly and festively and the food is pretty good. We will probably be back again on our next work visit.
I enjoyed my meal. The tacos were awesome (Beef, Shrimp, & Carne Asada). You order at the counter upon arrival. There's a nice beer selection along with fountain sodas Our food was delivered hot and fresh. I'll be back as the tacos reminded me of homemade from when I was a kid.
