    Ground Beef Taco
    Briana R.

    I love everything about this place! The food, the service, and the amazing selection of New Mexican style food. Our last visit here we had the best server who was attentive and cheerful. We were greeted with chips and salsa and ordered the three ground beef taco plate and the steak burrito with red and green sauce on the side. Both were prepared to perfection. Can't wait to go back!

    Love this local mom and pop spot to catch a bite and catch up with friends. Convenient location and love that it's a New Mexican cuisine menu. The service is consistently good and the ambiance is cozy- usually not too loud. I recommend this place to give it a try at least once.

    I normally love small businesses/restaurants and I haven't done a Yelp review in years but my experience at Goyita's was down right abysmal. I have been to and got takeout from here many times before and the food is normally pretty good. However, this takeout was absolute robbery on their part. I should have recognized the red flag when we ordered and the person on the other end of the call had no idea they had green chile con carne burritos on their menu. Alas, I ignored the red flag. My mistake. The picture in this review is the result of a "burrito" that immediately fell apart when I took it out of the takeout box. It was literally enough meat to fill a taco and a half but definitely NOT enough to fill a burrito and at $15 they essentially robbed me. To top it all off, the meat was cold and the tortilla was extremely soggy and slimey. It didn't really matter as I threw the tortilla out it was so bad. I wish I took a "before" pic to show how small and poorly made this burrito really was. It was by far the worst burrito I have had in a long time. I definitely will NOT be returning.

    On a recommendation from a friend, we headed from Vail to the other side of Tucson for lunch yesterday. My husband is a Hatch green and red chile fanatic, growing up in New Mexico. As we drove the 48 minutes for lunch we kept saying, "this place better be good." Oh and it was, in fact it was GREAT! From the very clean restaurant to the smiling friendly staff to the beyond amazing food we loved it. We both ordered the combination plates, small and large and YUM. The crunchy tacos were delicious, the chile rellano perfectly done and the enchilada with both red/green sauces rounding it out for a win on everything. Beans are obviously homemade. What was really good though were the chips/salsa. The chips were SO good, maybe they make them there fresh? We both had a freshly made sopapilla for dessert to round out our late lunch putting it in the outstanding category. They have indoor and outdoor seating, tables are spread out which is nice given the pandemic and they put hand sanitizer on the tables.

    I was having a hard time deciding between two restaurants in Oro Valley so I decided to go here. New Mexico style. My son and I ordered the lunch special- chicken tacos with rice and beans. I like the taste and style- just distinctively different a tad lighter compared to most Mexican cuisine. I like their chips and salsa too. The place is pretty popular so get there early.

    I think having the kids as hostesses is really cute and adorable. Although, the food is not that great. My family were not too satisfied with their food. Everything lacks something. They can improve on their food presentation,as well. I've had better Mexican food.

    We ate in this restaurant. I think you may like it. Seemed different somehow from other Mexican standard menus.

    The food and service was great! The food is true NEW Mexican, not Mexican. Yes there is a difference.

    What vegan (not vegetarian) options are available?

    Hi. From looking at the menu, I don't believe there is anything that is vegan. If I understand the criteria to qualify as vegan, based on my former coworkers' explanation. Pretty much everything has cheese, meat, and refried beans, which normally… Read more

I started with the ube mocktail mule (choice of ube or prickly pear flavor). It was delicious and had a strong ube flavor! The entree I chose was the Herb Seared Salmon. It is not labeled gluten free, but can be made gluten free by swapping out the barley for a different side- I chose the citrus rice. It was all delicious! For dessert, there are actually two gluten free dessert options (unusual!) and sorbet! I chose the Maple Chai Torte and it was incredible! So flavorful and delicious! Lots of gluten free options here, and menu with the GF options labeled! And the views! Pretty strings of lights on the patio, and gorgeous mountain views!

We enjoyed the zero proof Pom Pom Press, and the complimentary jalapeño corn bread was really delicious! We shared the chips and salsa and the short rib tacos (we added on a 4th taco, but because they were so generously filled we could have just shared the 3!) The tacos were great - but the avocado salsa had absolutely no flavor. We added a generous squeeze of lime and a little salt and it was better. We loved the convenience of having a nice restaurant on site and we would definitely eat there again next time we're in town.
