Charming little taqueria that gives mild vibes of a taqueria in Mexico. The service was fast and friendly. I'm on a day trip from Phoenix and will come back again soon just to have their tacos! The food is so good that I'm taking 5 more tacos back to Phoenix for dinner. Bathroom was clean, too. They close at 3pm, and even during business hours, they may look closed. Upon pulling in, I thought they were closed because it looked dark and I saw half the dining room closed up with chairs on tables. What I didn't see was the other half of the dining room, located in the back (not visible from the door.) And the windows were tinted. So definitely do not assume they're closed if you arrive before 3pm. read more

Great Food and friendly service! Highly recommended it. Super fast for not being a fast food restaurant. read more

Not really à sit down and eat restaurant. No real Waitress - they try. Most of the time they are real nice. They specialize mainly in take out food. A lot of Door Dash orders. The food is very good! Especially their weekend Menudo! I'd say it's possibly the best Menudo in town. Excellent Enchiladas They do provide free Chips ànd Salsa for eat in orders. Overall it's a nice place! I like their Clifton, Arizona location better! That has more of a sit down Restaurant atmosphere with good Waitress to service you - highly recommend! read more

Great find in Pima,Arizona, west of Safford and Thatcher. Takeout breakfast burritos for the group including chorizo, egg and, cheese; bacon eggs and cheese; and variations of the same with potatoes or no eggs. Breakfast restaurant options were discussed and hands down, it was El Mesquite Taqueria. I had the bacon egg and cheese and it was very tasty. The salsa had good heat and woke up those taste buds. Will be back, next time in town. Check it out at pimatacos.com. read more

Stopped for some breakfast burritos. There were 11 of us, and no one was disappointed. They were amazing, and pretty darn quick. I really want to try the rest of the menu. read more

Placed a larger group order for pick up. The order was not accurate but the food was good enough to come back again. I was not disappointed in the burritos we ended up with despite them being the wrong ones. read more

First let me say the tortillas in this place are the best I've ever had in my life. The reason I give it a four stars because their version of green chili is baffling. I ordered a side of green chili, which usually comes in a cup w a side of tortilla, like a sauce or a soup, and usually served with a spoon. What I got was a big box of what I assume is pork. I'm aware that pork is a common ingredient in green chili, this was all pork. Basically I got a big box of meat. Big mistake asking for green chili on my breakfast burrito because it was overwhelmingly a little egg and mostly shredded pork. I will learn from this and always ask about the meat to green chili ratio from now on haha. read more

El Mesquite Taqueria - This is supposed to be a side of green chili, it's basically a box of pork. - Mexican Near Me - Pima, Arizona

First time in my life (aside from Mechy's) that I've had Mexican food at a restaurant that tasted homemade in safford/thatcher/puma. The tortillas were incredible, the right thickness and stretch too. I had a mixed green chili burrito and it was excellent. Some of the reviews were a little puzzling to me and reflected a lack of understanding of actual Mexican food- especially the "side of green chili one"... that's literally the green chili a lot of us in the area grew up eating. If you want no frills, homemade tortillas, delicious food- go here. Worth the drive to Pima. read more

So the only good food is the quesadillas and the bean burritos. The service is kinda bad because they take 45-60 minutes getting the food outta the kitchen. Ew. The ambiance is pretty understandable. I mean a lot of people come and go. Bye thanks for reading pookies read more

Food is outstanding. Service is superior. Ambiance is typically Mexican, but not "itchy".

The best Mexican food in Pima/Thatcher/Safford! I love their Birria tacos and tamale plate special. They're a five minute drive from our house so it's hard not to always want to eat here but if I could I so would! read more

A bit bummed. I have been drooling over this place the moment it was suggested to me as having amazing Mexican food. That's pretty rare in Safford. Sadly they close everyday at 3:00 pm so we have never been able to make it on time. It just so happened we had a Friday morning free so we woke up super early and drove out further then we wanted to just to experience it. I will start off by saying the customer service is great and the location is Chef's kiss. It's beautiful! Would be so lovely to see in the evening. We get there at 9:00 am hoping to eat a California Burro or even breakfast Enchiladas with an egg only to see that the menu ONLY has egg with potatoes, bacon, sausage, chorizo or ham. Absolutely nothing else for breakfast. The order taker said at 10:00 am would the menu change to lunch. Sadly we left because we were already starving and didn't have anywhere to wait around for an hour. I would like to come back eventually. I'll update my review then. read more

El Mesquite Taqueria - Breakfast - Mexican Near Me - Pima, Arizona

Visited with Mom and Dad for lunch. We had the cheese enchiladas and the beef enchiladas. Both served with lettuce and fresh tomato, rice and beans. They were tasty and the perfect portions. Both parents had the biggest tostada I've ever seen. The tostadas had to be eaten with a fork and knife. No picking them up. The prices are good and take out seems to be super popular. If your in the area stop by and enjoy we sure did. read more

My first visit and second visit were great. Loved their green chili burrito. This last time was a little mushy and less flavorful. Love that the outdoor seating is available now. The water feature is a very nice touch. read more

Love the Senoren Dogs! Cute patio out front. Nice location. Good salsa. Is this 85 characters yet?

Love the carne asada here. Always fresh with great service! Wonderful food service option in Pima.

This place is hands down the best Mexican food in Graham county. Everything is authentic and none of that chicken tender taco crap. 10/10 would eat here every day if I could read more

Far and beyond, the best Mexican food in Graham county. This family operated business makes you feel at home, it's got an old Mexico feeling and the decor and even how the building is constructed, absolutely love the fact that the husband and wife run this and their kids are completely involved. It's wonderful to support an amazing family run business, that literally I remember being in a truck just a few years ago. The service is amazing, just what you'd expect if you were to go home, to Grandma's house. They're always looking out for what's going to make their customers happy. The horchata, absolutely amazing highly recommend it. If you're not sure what to order, order a crazy chick, or a carne asada burrito. If you know what you want, it's all good. They even have Mexican sodas in the fridge for you. read more

Lovely birria tacos! Service is good and fast. The dining area is comfortable. Did I mention the delicious birria tacos?

Best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Seriously SO GOOD! It was chorizo, egg, cheese, and potatoes. I split it with my husband because we heard they were really big, but I probably could have eaten the whole thing because I was craving more after I finished. The tortilla was amazing and the sauce stuff was good too. read more

Love the food, the atmosphere, and the amazing friendly staff. When you go in they treat you like family and are so accommodating. This is one of our absolute favorite places to eat in the Gila Valley. If you haven't tried a caramelo, you are missing out! Tip: The burritos are large enough to share, if you want to. If you ask to omit the tortilla-done with no problem! read more

Everything I have had here is soo good! The green chili burrito is perfection! 1000% recommend this place

Every time we drive down to the valley, we stop in here. The breakfast burrito are huge and the eggs are always cooked perfectly. I love the ham and egg, but I have them add in potatoes. If you eat one about 9:00-9:30 in the morning, you're good to go till dinner. I love hole in the wall places, because if the food isn't great, they go out of business real fast. This place has been in Pima for a while now and from what I've tasted, it's gonna be there for years to come. We LOVE it! read more

Family runned restaurant. Best carne asada burros and tacos in the valley. Green Chile is really good too. I must place to try if you are around. read more

By far the best food in Pima. I would, if I could, eat every meal here. Pleasant service, always a smile and will make your order exactly as you want it. Beautiful family beautiful peeps. read more

Best authentic mexican food around the area. Carne asada burros are my favorite, along with the street tacos

Best Mexican food ever!!! If you haven't tried the birria tacos, try them they are the best. Also the crazy chick burrito!!! My favorites!!!

Nice family run place. It is family food. Personal service and they are great people. And the food is great!! I absolutely love the green chili burro. When I stop in town I grab a few containers to have because the flavor is perfect and it has a little heat to get the blood pumping! You will not regret stopping and eating here. Plus the joy you get from supporting a local. Haines run by decent honest people! I know they are wanting to open a new location down the road and I hope they are able to so they can serve more people. read more

This is one of those hole in the wall type of placues with great food. This is coming from a guy that easy a lot of Mexican food in El paso!

Carne asada burrito is amazing! I'm a meat and cabbage guy on my CA burrito, but after asking it normally comes with Pico and guacamole. The tortilla is perfect the size is just enough and it's adequately wrapped in paper and foil. I'm from a border town a s this would be a five star burrito back home. read more

Good. Tacos and Mexican burritos are good. The food is made fresh, and the carne Asada is yummy

Wonderful freshly prepared Mexican food, worth the wait. Breakfast burritos until 10am, then lunch menu has burritos tacos tortas, and even Sonoran style hot dogs. Try the carne asada. read more

Best green chile burro. You know how most places state green chile, you order it, and what you get is three gristly cubes of mystery meat in a thin green sauce? This isn't that. This is shredded green chile beef. Lots of beef. Just spicy enough to need a drink but not so much that it is painful to eat. It's perfect. This is a hole in the wall with great food. If you are traveling in the area and hungry, skip Safford and stop here. read more

Just tried this place a few weeks back and it was excellent, the food is great and is a nice departure from the usual Mexican food in Graham county. This place is fairly new so time will tell if the quality holds. The prices are reasonable, the bathrooms clean but the parking is awkward. Highly recommended. read more

The food is excellent! The reason it's not 5 star is because it's a hole in the wall sort of place. But the quality of food more than makes up for it. My favorite is the carne asada. read more

The food is authentic and delicious. Everything I have tried had been so good that it's hard to decide when I order. I want to order a whole buffet! The people running the place are so genuine and pleasant. Best Mexican food in the valley and the prices are great. read more
