Chimi Enchilada Style
Mandy T.

We stopped by here on our drive to Tucson for dinner last night and it seemed pretty busy with both dine-in and take-out customers. Our server was very friendly and we all liked our food. The salsa from the chips and salsa was pretty spicy but delicious. I got the #2 and it's pretty much 2 meals because of how big the burrito is. I added chicken to the cheese enchilada and this was so good. I highly recommend just ordering their enchiladas. The green chile beef burrito didn't seem to have anything other than beef in the tortilla so I wouldn't get this one again.

Cheese enchiladas with rice & beans combo.

Been here a long time ago and was loving the family owned and operated atmosphere of a small restaurant. They are now having take out only due to the COVID pandemic. You can find their menu on their facebook page. Simply call in your order and go pick up. My husband went inside to pay, and he said there was tape on the floor as a guide for the social distancing. I had the cheese enchiladas (which is my go to meal whenever I eat out Mexican) and the hubby had the chicken enchiladas. The cheese enchiladas with rice & beans combo was very good. They use a medium enchilada sauce, which has just the right amount of kick to it. The hubby said the chicken was very good and would give it a 4 out of 5. This out of the way gem, is very reasonably priced as well for their meals. Get out of the house, make a night of it. Call in your order, pick a secluded spot, have dinner in your car or spread out a blanket somewhere. Just remember to either take your own utensils from home, or make sure they put some in with your take out order. :-) #COVIDcantgetusdown!

On the way to Phoenix choosing the back road hit this gem from yelp search. Really looks like hold in the wall but the carnitas was good, pack with pork flavor and some burn end crunch. Salsa has a little bit of heat and tasty. Glad we stop by.

Every time I'm in the Tucson area, a trip to Oracle for some Casa Rivera is a must! This is where you go if you want massive portions of authentic homemade Mexican food. The family that owns it is so welcoming and friendly. The house salsa is fantastic and one of my key indicators when I'm judging a Mexican restaurant. Don't be turned off by the rustic looking exterior, or the very basic looking interior. Just eat and enjoy, and get a box for leftovers because you'll have them. I love the all meat burritos enchilada style with the red chile pork or the green chile beef. The meat is always so flavorful and tender. Some helpful tips: -They are closed on Saturdays because they are 7th Day Adventist -I've seen some complaints about not serving beer. This is a BYOB joint. They'll totally let you bring your own drinks. -Go on Fridays for their clam chowder, which you wouldn't expect to find at a place like this. But it's amazingly great! -I can't get enough of their hot house salsa! If you want some to take home they do sell it $6.25 for a 32 oz container. Not a bad deal.

Two shredded beef tacos combo

So I saw this somehow on yelp and the picture had me salivating. So I called up my riding buddies and we decided to make a trip to Oracle. When you pull up itz a small little hole in the wall place. You can tell its been around a while. We came in and sat ourselves. The place right now only has a few tables open due to COVID, but we had room. I got the 2 shredded beef tacos combo. As always the combo is rice and beans. The food was pretty damn good! The portions where HUGE for the price. All my other guests all said the same thing, it was great. The service was perfect and friendly as well. If you are in town and looking for good Mexican grub, GO HERE!!!

Great little family-owned business serving up delicious food at a very reasonable price. The…read moreservice is warm and genuinely friendly, and the view of the Catalina Mountains makes an already enjoyable stop even better. What really adds character to the place is the story behind it. Sammy came to America from El Salvador in search of opportunity and built a life and business here. You'll notice plenty of patriotic and MAGA decor around the restaurant, which reflects his own views and appreciation for the country he now calls home. Good food, fair prices, friendly people, a beautiful Arizona view, and a local family working hard to build something of their own. That's the kind of place I'm happy to support.

Stopped by Sammy's Mexican Grill with my wife while we were out visiting some shops around…read moreCatalina, and we're really glad we did. This place has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and is tucked into a beautiful part of town. The decor inside was awesome and made the whole place feel comfortable and inviting from the second we walked in. My wife ordered the chimichanga and it was huge -- looked absolutely delicious and came out piping hot. I got the MAGA Burger because I was in the mood for some serious comfort food, and that burger delivered. The patties were juicy, the food was fresh and hot, and the bacon crumbled between the patties and melted together with the cheese was honestly an awesome surprise. The fries were just as good. Sammy himself was a really nice guy, and the rest of the wait staff we met were friendly and welcoming too. No matter your political views, the food here is flat-out good. I also appreciated all the signs supporting our troops throughout the restaurant. If you're passing through Catalina and want a good meal in a relaxed little spot, this place is definitely worth stopping at.

My friend and I went out to eat here, but my family and I have been also a few times... I think…read morethey really shine with breakfast, but this visit we enjoyed Mexican food! The very large table next to us enjoyed burgers! Food is ALWAYS RELIABLY good! The restaurant stays REALLY BUSY, so my first tip is to call ahead for a pickup order if you're pressed for time. Lots of pickup orders going constantly. If you do have time to sit down and enjoy they have nice little seating area outside where you can take in the dynamic view!! Kid friendly little round bench seating outside. They have beautiful art inside for sale that really brightens up the atmosphere! Food tip - ask for an extra "hot" tamale - temperature wise, because who doesn't LOVE a HOT TAMALE ?? Enchilada was EXTRA Savory!! The folded taco was quite addicting so next time I'll go for the taco plate! Staff is very friendly with nice smiles and you can feel the LOVE Vibes in a small town setting. The Ambiance is very social and pleasing to your spirit - visit when you'll take a nice little scenic drive, eat delicious food and enjoy your day, highly recommend! The offer drinks y'all... jusss saying - PERFECT chips, YUMMY salsa AND Drinks??? Um, yessssssss - Enjoy this experience!

Flavorful and authentic dishes with generous portions and friendly service. A vibrant atmosphere…read moreadds to the experience--just a little pricier than expected, but worth it for the quality.
