    Chimichanga (shredded beef)
    Gina L.

    Stopped by on a Friday evening for a dinner right before they close at 6pm (open every day except Wednesdays from 9am-6pm). It's a hole in the wall spot frequented by locals for an early dinner or to crush a few Modelos to get an early start for the weekend. We started with a couple horchatas and a beer. They also gave us some complimentary chips and salsa, which only came with maybe 15 chips tops. We asked for a refill, but were disappointed to see the same refill amount of about 15 chips :( As for the food, I ordered the beef chimichanga which came with rice and beans - not bad and decent amount of beef filling. The chimichanga was fried to a crisp, and quite tasty. My friend got a chicken quesadilla, which she said was fine, just a bit bland; another friend got the carne asada tacos - pretty standard, but the meat was a bit dry; last friend got an order of enchiladas w/ rice + beans, and she said that was good as well. General consensus is any of the hot combinations/dishes that come with rice + beans were the tastier options. Biggest sell is you cannot find these prices anywhere else! I seriously had to double take when I saw the menu. The food was average, and wish gave more chips in general (although this can be rectified by just asking the server for more chips). Ended up spending just under $20 for dinner + drink. Probably won't come out to Mesa especially for this spot, but worth a stop if you're nearby

    Chicken Fajitas!!

    This is the best Mexican food that I've had in Arizona yet!! We've been searching & tried so many!! This little mom & pop shop is excellent!!! Food came out HOT and super fresh!! Service was great & didn't feel stuffy or overwhelming. We had a Fanita platter just grab a quick fast bite in between shopping & it was so satisfying. The prices are super reasonable. I recommend paying cash as you will be subject to processing fees with Debit or Credit. Totally worth it!! We will definitely be back!!! Thank you guys so much.

    First things first, the prices here are amazingly low! I was genuinely shocked to see a margarita regularly priced at $3.95. At that price, it simply would be rude not to! And believe it or not, it actually was very tasty for a margarita. The food prices were also exceptionally low as well. When you see low prices, usually there is a reduction in quality and favor but that was not the case at Asi Es Mi Tierra. The only thing I longed for was more chips and salsa as a very small portion was served. Loved the murals on the wall and the casa decor in the back. It felt very authentic to a Mexican restaurant. The service was always very friendly and we interacted with a couple different employees. All were very friendly and I can definitely see returning in the future if in the area.

    Complimentary Chips with Hot Salsa
    Steve D.

    This well-established Mexican restaurant offered delicious food, fast service and reasonable prices during my dine- in lunch. My two taco combination meal included choice of meat, choice of shell, rice and refried beans. It was reasonably priced at about $8 and served in just four minutes, which gave me time to enjoy the complimentary chips and yummy hot salsa. The tacos had generous amounts of moist and delicious shredded chicken on soft, tasty 5.5" tortillas. The service was attentive but somber, while the dining area was clean and basic with Mexican background music and a full bar. I wasn't a fan of the outdated 3.5% credit card fee, but overall this was a very good experience.

    My cousin has been wanting to come here for quite some time but we always missed our chance as it closes at 6 PM. We decided tonight was the night! I am happy we made the stop in. The restaurant has beautiful murals on the wall which adds to the overall dining experience. It is not a huge location, but the tables are laid out well to allow for proper spacing. There are a lot of other businesses within the same plaza, but there are many parking spaces to choose from. The service was good and the employees seemed happy to help. The food was great and I was amazed at the pricing! The house margaritas were delicious ($3.95). For my meal I ordered a Chile relleno ($3.75) as I always have to try them when available. I also ordered a #56 enchilada Oxaca style with shredded beef ($10). The relleno was good, but not the best one I've had. However, for the price it was absolutely a great treat. The #56 was really good. I loved the flavor of the sauce and the beans/rice were good as well - I still can't believe the whole plate was $10! Stop on in if you're in the area!

    Great family restaurant with authentic Mexican flavor. I got the Mexico City Enchilada. It was perfectly prepared. My wife got three shredded beef enchiladas. My wife said the sauce was perfect. The beef was excellent quality with wonderful flavor but slightly dry. We were eating a late lunch which may account for that. She felt the portion size of beans was small enough that she wound up ordering a side of beans. The restaurant was 3/4 full but still we were served quickly. Our server was the son of the owners, and handled everything efficiently. My wife's biggest disappointment was that they don't have Coke Zero, and only have pink sweetener packets.

    It's alright, not the same menudo I thought would be more like the can of Juanita's they sell at the stores .

Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

I'm posting this review for two reasons - The first being because the manager passed the restaurant phone over to the supposed "owner" after I called within five minutes of getting home to tell them the chips and taco shells tasted like they were fried in old, rancid oil. The manager told me she could offer a credit and when I said I would prefer the refund to my card is when she went to get the "owner". I'm fairly sure I wasn't an asshole to her. I was pretty peeved at this point because we're talking about almost $16 of the $49.11 which was the cost of the food I ordered before tax and tip. I work in the service industry/for tips too so I get it. I'm well aware of the price increase of everything everywhere!!! Before going to Ritos I waited in a line of 10 cars at Sam's Club for gas and gas was $49.65. So there's that. The "owner" also reiterated that a refund would only be given if I brought the food back. I'm sorry, but, I live 15 minutes away from Mesa Riverview. My employer was 30 minutes from the restaurant. I sure as f*ck wasn't going to get my ass back in my car and drive back to Ritos to give them shitty tacos and chips. They told me they would offer a credit for next time for chips and 2 tacos - and I guess that's acceptable but my question is - how are you going to provide that when you don't have my number or an email address for me? And aren't chips typically complimentary at a Mexican food restaurant when you dine in? The manager had the audacity to say that the oil was changed, the chips and tacos are cooked in different vats, the cost of meat has gone up and "everyone is feeling it." That's quite the level of audacity. I'm to the point where I don't give a about your credit and if I want Ritos I'll drive even more out of my way to the Garfield or 7th Street location. I'm more pissed off about the "owner's" attitude than I am about the $2.55 chips I threw in the trash. And the taco shells didn't taste too rancid drowning the inside in salsa. My mother was in her bedroom in the back of the house (I was in the kitchen) and just told me she could hear the owner yelling at me and what a sh*tty way to do business. Keep your credit, I won't be back to your locatiom to dine in OR take food to go. PS - Change your raunchy ass oil. As you said, consumers pay *way too much* to get home with a To Go order to have to throw it away because oil isn't changed frequently enough.
