Went there for lunch while running errands, we loved it! I had carne asada street tacos my wife had chicken tacos. The sides were great and service was pretty good, little slow, but not bad. I do wish we went Tuesday. As you can order three different tacos to have on taco Tuesday, other days you can only choose one.
I have dined here a long long long time ago and I couldn't remember why I didn't return to this place after my first visit. We waited for quite a bit at the front counter and at our table.On Tuesdays, they have taco Tuesday night. They have street tacos (brisket, pork carnitas, and pork belly) and you get 3 street tacos and you can make it a combo with rice and beans for $13. Then they have just tacos (shredded beef, chicken, potato, and ground beef) and you get 2 tacos or make it combo with rice and beans for $13.So we ordered just tacos ? as a combo and the results were just okay. The chicken tacos meat was super super dry. Talk about no moisture to the tacos. The ground beef tacos was okay and I felt like there was a specific seasoning missing in it. The rice was way to salty and dry as well. To my ultimate surprise I actually liked the beans. It would have been nice if there was sour cream and guacamole for the tacos.The decor was nice and inviting. Our server apologized for our wait and she checked on us twice and refilled our drinks once. My Arnold palmer was delicious ? because of right mixture. The chips and salsa wasn't too bad however it would have been nice if it was served warm.I gave it 3 stars because it didn't meet my expectations of a Mexican restaurant. It didn't feel authentic or taste like it when comparing the one's I frequent. Too americanized for me.
This was a nice lunch experience. We had the Blanco chicken enchiladas w/ calabicitas and refried beans, carna asada burro and tamales. Food was fantastic! Our server Christina was fabulous. She suggested the calabicitas and it changed my perspective on Mexican side dishes. The blood orange margaritas are a refreshing God send. Can't wait to go back for dinner.
WORST fried ice cream I've ever had!! First of all the ice cream was rolled in a crumb batter, and then served to me as "fried ice cream" which you could clearly tell it was NOT fried whatsoever! It's called "FRIED ice cream" for a reason because YOU FRY IT, duh!! You get the ice cream and roll it in corn flakes then you dip it in a deep fryer for a quick minute and boom "FRIED ICE CREAM" Obviously they don't know what or how to make "FRIED ice cream" so there's instructions for you guys. I hope they get it right so no one walks in so excited to eat fried ice cream (like I did) and get so disappointed ?
Not a good experience. I understand it is Cinco De Mayo, and food can take a little longer to prepare, especially with it being busy. What we didn't like is the quality of the food, it wasn't very good. The waitress wasn't very attentive, we were not once offered drink refills. We asked to speak with the manager and he was polite by apologizing and explaining due to the holiday, it was busier. We got a complimentary fried ice cream and it was good. Chips were good. At this location, we will not be coming back, mainly because we waited a long time for food that didn't taste good.
Excellent food, atmosphere (we had the table for two next to the fireplace), server provided great recommendations and ensured we were enjoying our meal. I thought your steak and shrimp (not in menu) with extra portion were great. More than enough and got to enjoy the rest at home. My wife loved them also and enjoyed the Steak and Chicken with extra portion. I also really enjoyed your Calabacitas and your House Margarita. We were too full for desert but will be sure to save room next time when we return for another great meal. Thanks!!!
Underwhelmed and overpriced. Minimal food with minimal taste. The bowl is mostly a few veggies hiding a sprinkle of carne asada. To call that Mexican is an insult. Don’t waste your money. Go next door… better sitting and better food:
Our three months in Phoenix has come to an end along with our last visit to this great Mexican Restaurant. We will miss the good eating.
Poor food quality, so much food and salt under our feet. They messed up our bill three times, got it right but the cleanliness of this establishment is by far sub par. The seats were greasy and that wall has probably never been cleaned.
We literally drove by 24 Mexican restaurants on our way here from Glendale and I started to wonder what we were doing. But, I wanted to go to the highest rated authentic Mexican restaurant in Phoenix. So, it was in a nice area, good location, nice building with beautiful decor. They were fairly busy, but the hard working staff did their best to serve us. Margaritas and Fresh chips and dip were extremely good. After that, the food was disappointing, I think my pictures say it all. Our friend had the Taco combo that h3 said were okay. My wife had a cheese Enchilada combo that was covered with a dark brown sauce, even the cheese inside the enchilada was brown. It just wasn’t very appetizing or tasteful. I had two deep fried dough balls filled with chicken, again pretty bland. I guess we just don’t really like authentic Mexican food, less chips, salsa and margaritas.
