Planning on coming back once a week moving forward. Had the shark, Mahi and the pork Asada toco on the specialty / gourmet tacos section of the menu. Wish I got the servers name but she was extremely friendly! (Younger dark haired Mexican girl). Mahi taco was my favorite, arguably my favorite taco of all time. Rice that it came with was amazing too not a big fan of refried beans but they were alright... marg was good and they have Pacifico which is my favorite so I was a happy customer overall. 3 tacos one marg and a large Pacifico for 36 bucks... can't find that in Scottsdale!

The pollo was my favorite: well seasoned, with a nice crust and char. The asada was okay but needed more seasoning and a char would have been nice. The pastor was a little goopy for my liking; some char would have really elevated it. The Sonoran taco, with asada, green chile, and cheese, was decent, but nothing out of this world. At $3.10 per taco, or $3.35 with grilled onions, the prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff was very friendly.

I was happy about the little purse hooks on the table (iykyk). The outside area, not so much. It's on the corner of a strip mall, there was some etched graffiti on the outside windows, which made you aware of the area you were in. (That's the reason for the 1 star deduction.) The place is very small! So yes, you WILL want to make a reservation. We went around 3:30 on a Friday and I would say 3/4 of the tables had reserved signs on them starting at 5pm on up. The receptionist was constantly back and forth looking at them and moving them around to make space for walk-ins. I would skip bringing your kids here. I didn't use the restroom so idk if that was nice or not. The food was fantastic! And the portions were big. The price matched the portions and quality in our opinion. It's hard to find quality food that's worth the cost lately. We enjoyed the chips and salsa. And hubby ordered a Mexican coke, and the server brought him a frosty glass for it. Everyone around us looked like they were enjoying their food. Our server was great. He chatted with us for a while when we told him about seeing the place on IG. He was grateful for the customers. But admitted, it's caused an influx of people and the 'regulars' have become annoyed. Which is understandable. We'd definitely come back if we're in the area but probably not drive that far out of our way again.

There's something so cozy and welcoming about this spot that makes it feel familiar every time we walk through the door. One of my favorite things to order here is the chilaquiles. I usually switch up the meat depending on what I'm craving, and this visit I went with chorizo. The tortilla chips have that perfect balance of crisp edges and just enough sauce to soften them without turning soggy. The chorizo adds a savory, slightly smoky richness, while the toppings bring everything together with fresh, bright flavors. It's the kind of breakfast where every bite has a little crunch, a little spice, and plenty of flavor. I also love ordering a fresh orange juice alongside my coffee--it's become part of my usual routine here. There's something about fresh OJ with a comforting plate of chilaquiles that just makes breakfast feel extra special. The service has consistently been wonderful, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable without feeling overly formal. After all these years, Presidio Cocina Mexicana remains one of those spots I genuinely enjoy returning to. Good food, great service, and that cozy neighborhood feel that keeps you coming back.

I think I just found my new favorite Mexican restaurant!…read more The ambience here is charming. It's located in what looks like an old house, painted on the outside in a dark red paint. There are roses hanging from the ceiling, exposed brick, and colored lighting (would you notice more as the sun goes down). The wood ceilings really make this place special. There is a small bar in the corner. Don't forget to look up because there is a little door above with the guardian angel and children painted on it, and a couple of stained glass windows. From the minute we walked in, we were meeting with smiling faces. When you first walk in, you are inside the kitchen or at least right next to it. We started with a couple of drinks - a Corona and a Diablito, a sotol cocktail with lots of pureed mango. A basket of chips and a bowl of Green dip or brought to the table, and we were directed to the salsa bar back near the entrance. The salsa bar is fantastic, with several different kinds of salsa. We grabbed what tasted like a creamy tomatillo salsa, a pineapple salsa, a pico de gallo, and a creamy Serrano salsa. They were all so good that we couldn't say which was our favorite. I know that pineapple salsa just sent me over the moon! For an entree, hubby ordered a Sonoran burrito. He said the burrito was delicious, and kept pointing out how good the guacamole and side was. It wasn't especially big or small. I ordered the fajitas (steak and chicken combo) and the minute they came to the table sizzling, both my husband and I were surprised at how large this portion was. It was served with tortillas (you get your choice of corn or flour), black beans, and rice. The black beans were good - - I suppose they just tasted like black beans. I was surprised at how delicious the rice was because it's white and I expected it just to taste like white rice. But there was a creaminess to it and a flavor that I couldn't put my finger on but that I know was really yummy (butter, maybe? Cheese, maybe?? Idk). Good meat in my fajitas was super tender and the veggies were grilled just right. This was a really common really delicious meal. This place had been on my list for a long time and now that I finally been here, I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. The food was fantastic, the prices super reasonable, and it's set in a cozy, romantic setting. This place is going to be on a regular rotation for us!

My family and I decided to switch things up and try a new breakfast spot -- and wow, we hit the jackpot with Dos Gordos in Laveen. From the moment you walk in, the music pulls you in and you're instantly greeted by that irresistible smell of something amazing cooking in the kitchen. You just know you picked the right place. I kicked things off with a Prickly Pear Margarita, and it was the perfect sweet, refreshing start to the meal. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were incredible -- perfectly seasoned, hot, and out to the table in no time. My hubby went with the Asada and eggs and was genuinely impressed with the quality and flavor. You know it's good when he pauses mid-bite to nod in approval. My youngest chose the French toast, and it was fluffy, sweet, and just right -- not over-the-top, just comforting and delicious. And let's talk about those homemade chips and salsa... fresh, flavorful, and with just enough kick to wake up your taste buds. Overall, we had such a fun, delicious experience. Great food, great staff, and a spot that truly celebrates authentic Mexican flavors right here in Arizona. We'll definitely be back for round two. read more

The color was nice, and the flavor was good. I will say the portion could have been a little more balanced. There was only one piece of pork and a lot of maíz, so I would've liked a little more meat. I also had to ask for more broth because it felt like it needed more soup to it. The temperature was also a little off. It first came out lukewarm, and after I asked for it to be warmed up, it came back boiling hot to the point where it was unable until it cooled down. I did like that they had garnishes available so I could adjust the flavor myself. I'd rather add a little more garnish than have it come out too salty or over-seasoned. The service was really great. As soon as I walked in, two ladies greeted me, welcomed me warmly, and once I mentioned it was my first time, they were very attentive. Overall, I'd give it a 3.5. There's no 3.5-star option, but that's honestly where it landed for me. The pozole could use a little more broth, more meat, and better temperature control but overall, Good service and good flavor.
