Nadine S.

The service and ambiance were wonderful! We ordered chips+guac, birria and carne asada tacos, rice+beans, large horchata, and mandarin jarrito. Price came out to around $30. I had to give 4/5 stars because the birria and consomme lacked flavor, the birria had a few fatty chunks in it, the rice was a bit mushy, and the chips were a bit stale. Regardless of these small things, we still enjoyed everything and we will DEFINITELY come back for the guacamole (it was perfect) and we want to try the elotes and chilaquiles!

Birria torta

Food was mid. I had the birria torta, the Sonoran hotdog and the Jamaica. The torta was good even though the birria was really dry and chewy. The Sonoran hot dog was not that great really basic and the Jamaica drink tasted powdered nothing fresh about it. The service was good and the ambiance was clean and relaxed but food wasn't that great. Presentation wasn't that great to be honest nor was the taste in food

So cute, cozy and CLEAN!!! Can't believe it was empty!

What an AMAZING little hidden GEM!!!! I was at the DollarTree and heard Mexican Christmas music and found this amazing little place with a sign for Tamales and I was like, SAY LESS!!!! JUST WOW!!! They were packed with flavorful meat, not soggy, not spicy and perfectly prepared like somebody's damn 98 yr old Abuela was in the making them!!! It was late so they only had Queso and Carnitas Rojo and when I tell yall I'm hard on Mexican food bckz I'm from LA and these were the BEST I HAVE EVER HAD IN ARIZONA.....PLEEEASE BELIEVE IT!!! I walked in and it was clean, smelled amazing and the kind woman greeted me with a cheerful HOLA immediately! I couldn't believe this place was empty, but ordered 2 Tamales. 9/10 for me, only Bckz they were not the best EVER but I will be coming back to support this amazing small business weekly and hope that yall do too!!

Baja Fish Taco

very cute restaurant with authentic Mexicali food. cute photo ops and great salsa stand. tried their Baja Fish taco, it was battered and fried right in front of me. lacking a full 5/5 for the undercooked tortilla it was served on. wish it was crisped up more. took over 15 mins to get my fish taco. luckily wasn't in a rush. overall the flavor was good and had a lot of greens on top that paired well.

I ordered a carne Asada burrito and a taco de cabeza. It was delicious!! So flavorful and tasty. Cute decor throughout menu is great there's definitely something in there for everyone.

Blink and you will pass up this little joya (jewel). Tucked away in a shopping center, this cozy little Mexican restaurant does not disappoint! I had a carne asada torta my first visit and it was amazing!!! Soft warm bread, well seasoned meat and fresh ingredients. Service was great too; polite, informative and quick! I've come back for a third time and although I finally remembered to rate them, my hunger got the best of me, so no food pics. I keep meaning to try something different, but their tortas are so good! They have a saying on their wall; "La Vida Es Rica" (life is delicious) and if you eat here, I wholeheartedly agree!!

Photo op!

Went for lunch. Fresh, hot, great value, delicious . Bacon Wrapped Shrimp also known as Alambre…read moreLunch.

We were pleasantly surprised by this Mexican restaurant on 83rd Ave. and Peoria. It's a large…read morebuilding with lots of seating at booth tables and bar area. Put your name in at reception and you were taken back usually after a small weight. We didn't have to wait yesterday. The servers are really friendly and checked on a frequently refilling hubs soda a few times without him having to ask. Our waitress also brought us an extra bowl of spicy salsa because she saw we had eaten all of it. Just brought us another basket of hot and chips. On our first visit, I got enchiladas and instead of rice and on the side I decided to choose their potatoes. The potatoes are so delicious. I love them, and I will look forward to these again when we return. Today we ordered: - Coke - Diet Coke (no Coke Zero here) - NACHOS GRANDE - Tortilla chips, cheddar & Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapeños. Choose seasoned ground beef, slow-roasted chicken or refried beans, or for an extra dollar, substitute fire-grilled steak or chicken fajita. I chose the chicken fajita protein topping. I ordered this for an entrée, but it would be a really good appetizer for 3 to 6 people. It's almost like cheese crisps, halved, with lots of melted cheese and a small amount of meat on each tortilla half. In the center there are toppings. I enjoyed the pickled jalapeños because they weren't extra hot. This hit my comfort food spot. I wasn't able to eat the whole thing so it was so big, but it was exactly what I was looking for. - THE GRANDE COMBINATION - Beef, chicken, cheese enchiladas, cheese chile relleno, tamale, crispy beef taco, guacamole. This combination is HUGE! Even the plate is grande. Absorbed this, and I think his eyes were larger than his stomach. He filled up on the beans and the rice, the chile relleno, and the taco. He got to take three enchiladas and a tamale for dinner the next night. A very nice tasty plate. Complementary chips and three types of salsa are brought to the table. Of the salsas, one is a red sauce that is mild, one is a pineapple tomatillo, and one is a spicier red salsa. The chips are nice and fresh and thin and brought to the table warm. Men's and women's restroom near the entrance for customers.

Gotta say I was mighty impressed here. Made my way to this place last night for din - was seated…read morepromptly and water appeared before I knew it. Our waiter was amazingly effusive and very good at upselling - though I didn't bite at the upsell, I did get a nice mango margarita, which really hit the spot! You can see a pic of it below. But this man was hungry, I ordered a combo plate. It had a beef taco, a tostada, and an enchilada. With just a little bit of rice thrown in for good measure. OK - now here's the thing. Was the food any good? Was the ambience of the restaurant adequate for the price point? Yes and yes! Gotta say I was impressed. And a special shout out to the waiter, who gladly took a picture of us while we were chowing down our meal! Needless to say the waiter made all the difference, frankly - the service was very impressive and the food was pretty darn good too. Oh, I forgot to mention the chips and salsa? Very garlic forward and a nice little spicy hit and was absolute perfection! The funny part of it is that this place was right across the field from where the Seattle Mariners do their spring training - I had brought my mom here, probably 25 years ago as she was a major Mariners fan and wanted to see this place. Of course the restaurant wasn't across the street back then! But what a cool location and what a nice restaurant. Definitely will return when I'm back in the Phoenix area!
