I am a year-round Quartzsite resident and I just tried this place for the first time - SO good! I got the carnitas nachos and my husband got chicken tacos. Both are super fresh and flavorful. The nachos couldn't even close in the box because of how PACKED they made them. The horchata is amazing and everything tastes authentic. Pricing is extremely fair (none of that insane $8 per taco that you normally find) Definitely worth a stop if you're rolling through or if you are a resident, perfect little date night spot! read more

Echate - Carnitas Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Quartzsite, Arizona

The food is very good and the folks running the show are very nice. I could complaint about the lack of shade, but it's 19 degrees in Ohio so... read more

Food: hard to rate something you can't get Customer Service: 2 stars Overall cleanliness: It's an outside place in a dusty town. It was as clean as it could be. 4 stars (an additional trash can would have been nice). Arrived at 11:55 to meet a friend. We waited a little less than 10 minutes to place our order. I ordered the 3-taco combo plate that comes with beans & rice. David asked if I wanted the queso with the birria & I declined. David said the rice was still going to be 15 minutes & he didn't know if it would be ready in time. I asked if the rice wasn't ready in time could I have double beans (yes). They give you chips & salsa when you order. Knowing they take a while (it is all hand-crafted & made to order) I ordered an additional order of chips & salsa to munch while we waited. I asked for a Coke or Pepsi & was told all they had was diet Coke or Fanta. I passed. My friend ordered chicken nachos with everything on them. I paid $33 (which included a couple extra bucks for a tip). We sit & started chatting. I realize it's been almost 15 minutes since we sat down & we still haven't had any chips & salsa (neither did the 3 people before us). Thinking maybe I didn't order any extra or maybe they don't give chips & salsa anymore I asked. "I know you're really busy with the food but did I order extra chips? Do we still get chips with our order?" Several orders of chips start coming out of the side window. I look for the salsa (last time you got red & green). Only green comes out. I asked about getting some red salsa & am told that they are out. I get given some pico de gallo instead. Disappointing but at least I got the pico. I notice that everyone else is taking the same amount of chips & salsa that I am. So I paid $4.99 for something that others are getting for free. I go to the window & ask for my money back for that. I'm told the "big chips & salsa come out with your food." I didn't want more chips with my meal; I wanted them to munch on while we waited. I'm handed a $5 bill. A few minutes later tacos come out the window & is handed to me. No rice, no beans. I notice that the birria taco has the queso on it (so I can't eat that one). My friend is still waiting for their nachos. It's 12:40, I've just barely gotten my food & not even all of it, & my friend is still waiting. I ask about the beans & rice. I'm told that the rice isn't ready yet. I scratch my head in confusion & say "I thought you told me it would be 15 minutes...30+ minutes ago." David "Yeah well I burnt the 1st batch because I was taking orders. Forget it I'll just give you your money back." I'm given a $20 bill. David can see my friend looking up at the window with an obvious question on their face "What? What do you need?" The nachos he originally ordered. We're told that when I asked for my money back for the extra chips & salsa I ordered the nachos got cancelled. How does one equal the other? An extra order of chips & salsa versus a plate of fully loaded chicken nachos. Those are not the same at all. I paid $33 & was given $25 back. I paid $8 for a small thing of chips, some pico de gallo, & 2 tacos, while my friend ate nothing. As I'm waiting on my food, several incorrect orders came out, they weren't able to fulfill another guest's order for cactus salad because it wasn't cut up yet, & an older gentleman who ordered his tacos to go got them in a plastic basket meant for here. He said "screw it" & got into his truck, basket & all, & drove off. The tiny bit of food that I did get & was able to eat was yummy. The customer service left a lot to be desired. My friend walked away without eating. I drove away at 12:57. It took an hour, & we never got what was ordered. The "managing partner" David Bisbee replied to my review on FB saying "all reviews are welcome" but then went on to say that "the live reporting of all other interactions, and sharing details of others guest experiences that are not accurate at all is just comical." I only reported on what I saw. I mentioned 2 other guests; there were several others there and I never mentioned anything about those interactions. Basically he's calling me a liar. I don't know what I lied about. *out of all soft drinks except Fanta and Diet Coke (truth, not a lie) *out of rice but would have it ready in about 15 minutes but was never ready (truth, not a lie) *out of red salsa (truth, not a lie) *the cactus wasn't cut up yet for the cactus salad (truth, I heard David say it himself, not a lie) *the older gentleman was given his "togo" food in a plastic basket for here (truth, I saw it with my own eyes). Feeling the need to basically call me a liar...WOW. I'm gobsmacked they are in business. 0/10 DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Against my better judgment, we stopped to eat here on our way from Scottsdale back to California. The food was pleasantly decent, nothing exciting, would rate it at 3-4 stars. The service was slow but that was expected. The gentleman was really nice and so I'd probably give him 4 stars. The ambiance was bad, but that was expected too because there was no indoor seating. What makes this a bad experience was that a week after I stopped there, I got another charge from this place. I immediately locked my Apple Card. The next day I got another charge in a different amount from this place. That one was declined because my card was locked. As a result, I had to spend time on the phone with Apple getting the first charge reversed and had to report my card as compromised. Next time I stop at one of these establishments I'll pay cash. read more

Great little spot. We came here during May. My wife had the street tacos and I got the torta, both carnitas. Amazing! David, one of the owners was great and talked to us about the area. Also got to meet the sweet parents. Food taste amazing and will come back whenever we are in the area. read more

This place has excellent food. We had the Burria tacos with rice and beans and it was so flavorful. The salsas are house made and some of the best I've had. The house made horchata was tasty and so was the hibiscus tea. You order at the window and they call you to pick it up when it's ready. We sat on the cute little outdoor patio. David the owner was so welcoming and friendly and explained how they make the different items. We will definitely be going back. read more

The food is amazing! The service is excellent/exceptional: they helped me fine tune my order and made suggestions accordingly. And the outdoor seating is festive and pleasant. Nice volume of classic rock, and a pleasant wait time for your food and drinks. And the horchatas are wonderful! First time I've ever had one--will be having another. read more

Food was excellent! My wife said this is the best tostada salad she has ever had. The colors were beautiful and the vegetables were inventive! It's going to be a bit of a wait because they make every single order right when it is placed but it is worth every minute! read more

The food is sooooo good. Very friendly. Love it. I recommend it to everyone I know and don't know read more
