    This meal was a whole experience, not just dinner. I ordered the molcajete platter and it came out literally bubbling with flavor. The stone bowl was loaded with tender grilled steak, juicy shrimp, smoky chicken, spicy chorizo, roasted jalapeños, cactus, grilled green onions, and a thick layer of molten cheese soaking in rich, savory salsa. Every bite had something different going on smoky, spicy, salty, cheesy all balanced perfectly. The sides of fluffy Mexican rice and creamy beans were the comfort-food finish this giant platter deserved. Now let's talk about the margarita. This spicy margarita was a little bit of a disappointment as it was not spicy and was served warm. The chile-rim gave it just the right kick, the pineapple was fresh and bright, and the jalapeño added a smooth heat that didn't overpower the drink just not the spicy I was hoping for. Presentation was . From the sizzling bowl to the beautifully garnished margarita, everything looked great. Portions were generous enough to share (but I didn't want to). Final verdict: 8/10. Come hungry, leave happy, and definitely don't skip the pineapple jalapeño margarita.

    I've stopped at the Mesa location twice now for brunch on my travels. Delicious breakfast plates and wonderful service. I can't wait to try another dish next time I go. The concha is so good with coffee !

    Our friend chose this spot for her birthday, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious comfort food, and chose the coffee served with a concha was such a great treat. Definitely a place worth checking out don't miss the chilaquiles!

    This was my second time here, my friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here. The food was good but my favorite was the michelada! I was eating and enjoying each bite! Our server was amazing and checked on us often. The service was also pretty fast. This time the music and the vibes definitely matched since we were celebrating. I do not think that it's the best family place. It is more of a brunch with the girls place!

    This is such a cute, upscale Mexican restaurant with a big focus on chilaquiles. The green and orange sauces really stand out and everything else we tried was pretty good too. My favorite item was the jalapeño margarita. I don't like my margaritas sweet in any way and this one was perfect with hardly any sweetener at all. The tequila they used (Santoro) was incredibly smooth. My partner had the mango blended margarita and said it was delicious as well. For food, I had the cóctel de camarón. It could've used a few more shrimp y aguacate but overall still deliciosos. The kids had a chilaquiles trio and a burrito, both got two thumbs up. Our guest tried the molcajete de cielo, mar y tierra. She doesn't like nopales but said everything else was delicious. My partner had the chile relleno and really enjoyed it. Service was decent with friendly staff, but they did forget a couple of things. Nothing major, just could be a bit more attentive. My only other suggestion is to maybe turn up the AC a bit since it was a little warm inside. Overall, we left happy and full. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes. I'll be back for the jalapeño margarita.

    Chiliquiles Trio Over Medium

    I have had this place on my list for a few years now and finally had a reason to make a two hour drive there when my bestie was in Phoenix area for the holidays. I take my chilaquiles very seriously. In fact, I am a self proclaimed expert/aficionado from years and years ago after first trying my sister-in-laws chilaquiles and deciding it was in my top 5 favorite foods of all time. Over the years, I have tried hundreds of chilaquiles versions - my SIL's being the bar that had to be met. This lovely restaurant was quite busy for a Friday late morning, everyone I encountered here was super warm and friendly. We were sat at a high top in the bar and our server was very attentive. We ordered a couple of guava mimosas and both went for the chilaquiles trio. I am not a big fan of meat with my chilaquiles but I did the birria and she went with the default of carne asada. Drinks were good, a smidge heavy on the guava juice. The food came out pretty quickly and portions were hearty (we could have split). They mixed up our meats (she did the default over medium, I can't do anything but scrambled) but it was fine we just ate off each others plates since we had planned on sharing the protein anyway. She had never had chilaquiles before, and enjoyed her meal. Me, well I have had plenty to compare these to and give them 3.5/5 (red was a 4). The flavor was good, but the green was very dry - almost as if chips were tossed on a plate and sauce sparingly poured on them. Juarez sauce was flavorful, but same thing, super crispy tortilla strips... so if you like that, you will definitely like these. Red was nice balance of soft/but precooked prior to sauce being added. My fave is red, particularly if made with hatch red chiles. Ambiance, service and food make this a solid 4 star joint and I would definitely come back if I was in the area again or near their other two locations.

    Well wifey wanted to try this place because she said everytime she drives by it's packed. Saturday morning 940ish it was pretty busy but no wait. Cool vibe in the restaurant and it was packed. Ordered menudo of course and the chilaquiles trio. Also orders the caffe de olla with concha. Caffe de olla brought back some memory of Mexico City. That's where I last tasted the caffe.. Caffe was yummy with nice cinnamon taste. Concha was also yummy nice and fresh. My menudo came and I initially I thought bowl was smaller than some of the other places. But that small bowl was pack with goodies. Broth had nice clean tasting and was not overly oily on top. The chilaquiles was something else.. I don't usually order it but I can say of all the ones I've had this place was the best. Red sauce was my favorite and every single bite of the chips it tasted fresh and crispy. Not one of them over double fried hard chips. Eggs were also cooked perfect. Over all the food was awesome and staffs were very friendly and attentive. Not too many times I come to a restaurant where my head move around looking at what other people are eating. I would definitely come back here again and try other dishes. Only thing bad I have to say is the music is little bit on the loud side (reminded me of being at a club back in the days ). Also the place is little on the small side with lots of people so it was loud and top it off with loud music. So if you can't handle or don't like loud noisy restaurant don't come here on busy day. Other small detail was that initially I told the server I was going to pay with card so I got 3% fee added to my bill that I paid cash for.. Lame..

    This place is a hidden gem for sure. Now it is loud, music bumping, a little birthday party accompanied by a shot; that's the vibe. If you go in expecting that you will have a great time. Our service was great, they were PACKED when we went and it took about 30 minutes to get seated, but when we were our waiter was attentive, very kind, and had several recommendations. The food itself was excellent, I tried a little of everything. The titular chilaquiles were phenomenal, the pancakes were very fluffy, and overall the entire meal was great. Conchas run out fast so be sure to get one, ours came out warm and it was fantastic. Overall I had a very good time. Table size can be on the smaller side depending on where you get sat so just keep that in mind. Overall very pleased and we will probably venture out again.

    We stopped into Chilaquiles on a Monday morning and they were packed! Our server was great but the food did take quite a while to come out. My barría ramen was delicious but a TON of food. My hubby didn't really care for the Harch Chili skillet. He said it didn't have much flavor but overall we enjoyed our time.

    Service was attentive and quick. Place was busy but very nice with fun music. Food was delicious and arrived 10-15 minutes after we ordered. We ordered very yummy micheladas. New go to spot.

    Well the food was delicious and amazing and the coffee omg!!! So good I'm from California and new to Arizona so I have a hard time finding spots I love ... honestly the food amazing coffee and pan so good... but the waitstaff horrible took 15 minutes just for her to take our drink order then she actually got that wrong then she took another 10 minutes to take our food order mind you we got there before the breakfast rush and she got that wrong as well. Thank goodness the atmosphere was lively and the music was up-to-date and current all stuff I listened to you back in high school pretty much. I really felt at home there... if you have time to spare definitely go check it out

    Menus
    Sierra V.

    Went on a Saturday after 2pm, happy hour had just begun so I got a michelada, that was good, really good actually. Sooooo many great choices on the menu I spent a while trying to decide on a good dish to choose. Narrowed it down to two choices and asked the bartender which was better and he said the menudo so I ordered it. Honestly the menudo was good but I felt like it was missing a spice factor. The menudo was very tame when it came to the spicy aspect but the flavor aspect was great. I asked for chile flakes and lime then I dressed it up and it was so good! The bread they provided to accompany my menudo was soft and perfect for dipping

    Great food and drinks! Lots of options for every taste bud. The drinks were great as well. The limonada was so refreshing too. The chile replenished was delicious. The beans were definitely from the can and the rice was just ok. My mom had the Milanese and said it was so good. I would return again and try something new for sure. The building is deceiving from the outside. I walked in to a very modern decor and didn't expect it. Service was ok. It wasn't busy but our server was a little slow and did forget our waters but not the end of the world.

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.
