We were recommended this place when we checked in at our hotel (ElDorado- check their review bc…read morealso was amazing). OMG! Now I'll start by saying that this is not a traditional Mexican taqueria; is more like a fusion inspired place. Our server was very nice and I'm sad I don't remember her name! She recommended the strawberry basil and the spicy pineapple margaritas. 10/10 for both. Enough alcohol and the flavor was great and not painful spicy just a good hint. We ordered the chips with the salsa sampler (guajillo, red and green) and I could have just eaten those for dinner and would have been set! I order the fish tacos and hubby order the carnitas and immediately yes! Both come w 2 tacos each ( my only complaint is I wish it was 3). Fish tacos had a decent portion of fish and the carnitas were bursting with meat. The pork reminded me of cochinita pibil as it had a hint of sweetness in the best way. Last thing- let's address the bean situation. It says on their menu that they are red beans with a Southerb style and is true and I'm here for it! As a Puerto Rican I prefer my beans to be flavorful on their own and their beans are! So if you are looking for a more refrito type mild flavor beans these are not it... but you are missing out! Will be back for sure!

Great place! Small and lively with a pretty large set of options…read more We got chips, salsa and guacamole. All of this was good but the chips themselves really stood out. I'm not sure what they do differently but they're delicious! The tacos all come in sets of 2, not mix and match. Everyone in our group got tacos and everyone was happy and agreed they were quite large and had a lot of filling. I got the Korean pork belly tacos and these were really good! That said, next time I'd try to get someone to split 2 kinds with me as 2 of the pork belly tacos was pretty heavy.

After a long wait at another Mexican restaurant, we walked over to La Unica Restaurant &…read moreTortilleria and I'm so glad we did! We were seated right away on the patio, which was a great start. Our waitress was very attentive, and the service stayed consistent the entire time. The food was chef's kiss. The rice was excellent, and the fajita platter my husband and I shared was flavorful and more than enough. The margaritas were on point too. We ordered the huge Cadillac margarita and it did not disappoint. This will definitely be our go-to spot every time we're in Willcox for the wine festival!

It was crowded due to annual wine festival but we were seated quickly. Lovely patio seating…read more Chips and salsa to start. Nice menu, plenty of libations to choose from. Mezcal margarita delicious. Food choices numerous, including breakfast options! All your favorite Mexican dishes were available. Food was great, nicely plated, and delicious. I was delighted with our patio seating. People watching always a treat. This is a gem, serving local families, tourists and wine festival attendees without batting an eye. Food allergies not a problem,.... Just let them know and they are happy to accommodate. Great experience. Thanks!

Look, I'm not gonna to lie you...I haven't eaten there in over 10 years. Not because it sucked,…read moremainly because I can't get into the place. It's too busy. Guess why it's so busy? Because it's probably the best Mexican restaurant in Southern Arizona. And now, EVERYBODY knows it. I used to blame the Snowbirds, but it's obviously because of the "locals" now. Not many Canadians spend the summers with us, and the place is still crazy busy in July -but- If you can get in...do it! If I had the time to wait in line, I'd do it too. Enjoy!

My wife & I visited Benson this weekend, and tried this restaurant for lunch on Friday. It's small,…read moreand they only had 2 servers so we waited maybe 20 minutes for a table. BUT THE FOOD!!! The chips & salsa: chips were piping hot, and comes with a bowl of the best green salsa - perfectly sweet with that hint of hot at the end. Amazing! My wife ordered a horchata which was spectacular. My order- pictured shrimp tacos- were absolutely delicious and as you can see the presentation is top tier. We got their dessert special carrot cake to go and had it later that night. The carrot cake is beyond words crazy good. All around just a delightful experience! If you're within 80 miles of this place make the journey. I'm not kidding at all- best Mexican food I've ever had

We really want to love Isabella's since we come to Willcox every year for the wine festival, but…read morethis visit was disappointing. The restaurant seems very understaffed, which led to long wait times throughout our experience. We sat at the bar in the middle of the restaurant, but there was no bartender. Drinks had to be made by a waitress, and she would leave again right after, so service felt very inconsistent. There was also no hostess, which added to the confusion when arriving. We noticed another guest across from us who also wasn't being attended to, and the waitress apologized to him as well, mentioning there was no bartender available to cover the bar area. We understand places can get busy during festival weekends, but better staffing or support would really improve the experience. Hoping to see improvements next time because we'd truly love to make this one of our go-to spots in Willcox.

Really nice place to stop into if you're in Benson…read more We came here on a Sunday for lunch (note: many places in Wilcox closed) and plenty of people eating. I had a bowl of their deluxe tortilla soup and loved it! I decided against adding chicken but still the soup was so filling and warming. Very fresh vegetables and lots of avocados too. I'd definitely get this again. My friend had a chicken mole plate and said it wad good but did wish the rice wasn't overcooked but then commented that this seems typical. Bright and colorful restaurant, service was very good, and food was excellent. I'd gladly come back anytime!

I ordered chicken mole enchiladas for $16.99 which came out quickly. The mole was delicious but the portion was small. It came with no sides. When the bill arrived, I was surprised it was more than advertised, with an additional .68 service fee that brought the bill over $19 plus tip.
