Honestly, the food is very tasty and we were pleased with our selection. We used to go to one of…read morethe other places in town and an employee of mine told me that this one was better. They don't have quite the selection of the other place, but the food is very good. My only criticism would be. There was not much in the way of carrots left by the time we got there on Sunday and they put the guacamole on the chips instead of giving it to you on the side. So the chips got sort of soggy by the time we got home. I will definitely have the shrimp tacos again. It was delicious and my son was very pleased with his Carne Asada tacos with guacamole. We also had a Carne Asada quesadilla and the famous chips with the guacamole already on them. Everything tasted very good. The inside is not anything fancy, but there's a few seats and there's a salsa bar with really nice salsa, limes, and if you can go when they are not out of carrots, there are carrots. I wished that their pickled carrots had more garlic in them. So I guess that would be my second criticism or more of a suggestion. The people there are very nice and if you can find the place you should go.

Located in the parking lot of an antiques store with bathrooms inside, "Western Village Antiques" to be precise. One picnic table available, but we ate off the tailgate of the truck (which I noticed others were doing too). Tacos were great! Fresh ingredients. "Street tacos" sized. Should have ordered six for two people. My only recommendation: use double tortillas for each taco to reduce spillage and messiness. Otherwise, one can ask for a fork. Wife liked pork. I liked beef. Both were great. They were out of chocolate chip cookies. Darn. Strong Recommend.

Just moved up to Payson from California, so trust me when I say: my taco standards are high. But…read moreCrne Tacos? Absolutely blew me away. We came by on a Monday -- their special chicken dinner day -- and ordered the chicken plate (fresh breast + thigh), with rice, beans, fresh corn tortillas, and both red and green salsas. We also grabbed two carnitas street tacos. The second I took a bite, I knew I was in trouble (the good kind). The chicken was perfectly seasoned, with a golden crust that had flavor in every crispy edge. And the carnitas tacos? Authentic, juicy, rich -- exactly what you want in a taco. We literally turned around right after finishing and ordered two more tacos. No shame. Took them to-go and ate them lakeside at Green Lake -- 10/10 vibes. The guys running the truck are genuinely kind-hearted and personable, which just makes the whole experience even better. Why tacos this good are in Payson, I have no idea... but I'm so glad they are. If you haven't tried Crne yet, what are you waiting for? Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-hit. Hands down, some of the best and freshest tacos I've ever had -- and that's coming from a Cali native. Will be coming back, again... and again... and again. Bonus tip: they serve Vegan options on Sundays!

No gloves and no washing hands between. The employee also likes to hand you your soda cup buy inserting her hand in the inside of the cup, right after mopping. There are other food code. Violations clearly visible but am leaving it up to the state inspector to do his job. The employee seemed fine touching cups on the inside, food and food trays and cleaning supplies simultaneously with no care. I am sure her food handlers card is up to date. I did try to inform her politely, but she waved her hand at me like she was batting away a fly. Very professional. A walking health code violation works the front counter. Beware.

A TRUE HIDDEN GEM IN PAYSON, AZ!…read more As soon as you walk through the door, it feels like you're walking into your auntie's house. You're treated like family, no matter what time of day you walk in! This was our 2nd time visiting this little gem while passing through Payson, and once again, she was just as special as the first time. This visit was extra special because it was my partner's birthday. There were only three of us, and somehow we ended up having the whole place to ourselves! We arrived about an hour before closing, but that did NOT stop the service or the food from being absolutely excellent. That kind of hospitality is rare these days, and I truly hope this place stays in business FOREVER! I've honestly never had much Thai food before, but EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious! War Wonton Soup: LET ME TELL YOU... this was like LIQUID GOLD! Absolutely incredible, especially after a long day out fishing at the lake. It hit the spot! House Fried Basil Rice :We asked for it spicy, and WOW... SO GOOD! The perfect amount of heat and packed with flavor. Chicken Lo Mein :Another winner! So flavorful and satisfying. And we have to talk about the chili oil and jalapeños on the table... I could've eaten those by themselves! I honestly wish I lived closer because I would be here ALL THE TIME! But if you're driving through Payson, DO NOT DRIVE PAST THIS PLACE! Great food, incredible hospitality, and that feeling of being welcomed like family. This is a MUST-STOP in Payson!
