We discovered this place by happy accident when we were headed to another restaurant in this strip mall that was closed. Man are we glad we did! Although the outside is not much to look at, the interior is clean and well kept. There were three of us so we ordered the carne asada tacos (which were on special for the day), fish tacos, and an enchilada/hard shell taco platter. The food was outstanding! They bring homemade sauces to the table; a red a green and what tasted and looked like an avocado sauce. All were delicious! These were all combos so they came with really good beans and the best Mexican rice I can recall ever eating. I used to have another favorite Mexican place in Flagstaff but this has moved into the top spot for me. All of us agreed we can't wait to return! read more

Flag fuego burrito smothered in enchilada sauce and 4 chorizo tacos! I ate one of my bf taco without asking while he was on the phone ! Haha anyway my burrito was great and so were the chorizo tacos. Great place and lot of good items on the menu. It expensive, all about $14 bucks for entree w rice and beans. Burrito is good size as you can see by my pic. Order at the counter either the lovely ladies and they let you know when ready! read more

Our second visit here and both times the food was really good. The asada burrito, enchilada style, was more than I could finish and the cheese enchilada plate was huge! All of the people working there were very nice and brought the salsas out to our table. The outside patio was the perfect place to enjoy our lunches. read more

I LOVED this food. I am not being dramatic when I tell you that these birria tacos were the best I have had in my life! Sooooooooo good.... Super messy to eat though, so if you don't want to get down and dirty, order something else... but know you will be missing out... The service was quick and efficient! read more

Los Altenos - Bean and cheese burrito Enchilada style - Mexican Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

I practically ran to Los Altenos after a long vacation away from Mexican food. This taqueria in Flagstaff serves up all your favorite Mexican bites. I was in desperate need of a fix and Los Altenos swooped in to save the day. I specifically was craving street tacos, so I ordered a little bit of everything off their menu. They offer both large and small sized tacos. To be honest, their 'small' size is what I'd consider an average taco in the LA food scene. I ordered a variety of small tacos with their chicken, pastor, and carne asada, as well as a few chicken hard tacos. I ended up enjoying the chicken soft tacos the most since the fried ones were a bit greasy. read more

Delicious Mexican food in Flagstaff. Got some veggie burritos to go and they were full of flavor and hit the spot. The salsas are great, my favorite was the verde which had a little spice to it. They have some seating inside and service is pretty quick. read more

Local dive with amazing food. I stopped here for lunch on an 8 hr drive home, and so glad I did! The staff behind the counter was so nice! I ordered a crispy chicken taco and the beef rolled tacos. Everything came out hot, fresh, and crispy. The girl behind the counter brought me out three different options for salsa and it was a delicious add-on! read more

We really loved our dinner here! We were here in Flagstaff for a couple of days and we wanted to try some Mexican food, given we live much farther from the country itself than they do here. The difference is staggering, in a good way. I got the birria tacos and these were delicious and unlike any birria taco attempt I've tried. These were delicious and the consommé that it came with was great. We surprisingly had leftovers, and they kept really well. The ambiance was unpretentious in the best way, and the service was good and efficient. We had a good experience and we would definitely come back and recommend it! read more

I finally made it back for tacos, and yeah, this keeps its five-star for the cabeza tacos alone. I've ordered a lot of cabeza tacos around and these might be the best I've had--the meat was in big enough chunks to appreciate how tender and fresh it was, and it was super juicy. Salsas are also fresh. Tortillas could be fresher, which is my main complaint. Adobada was pretty good but not as heavily spiced as Los Altos, carnitas were a bit dry. But the cabeza and menudo alone will keep me coming back here. read more

10/10 amazing food. Carne asada burrito was so good and all the homemade sauce is delicious!!

Beautiful breakfast burritos for a killer price. What more could you ask for?! Full of flavor and honestly one of the best ones in town. This place should be much more popular. Definitely a hidden gem. Service is great and friendly. Never had a bad encounter with staff here. I would highly recommend this place for all of your breakfast burrito needs read more

The food has been my favorite in Flagstaff for years. It just got better because I left my purse there, with my Labubu on it and when I returned they had it with everything in it behind the counter. They SAVED the day, I fly soon. Great food, trustful people 10/10. La lengua and asada tacos have always been my go to. read more

Amazing, authentic Mexican food ! Will be coming back every time we visit flagstaff again

Fresh, good, clean classic Mexican food. Friendly staff! Good price for food. Great experience!

Fish tacos were dry and old. Taco meat had bad taste, plus the rice. Think the food was old and not fresh. Did not say anything, just dumped food and left! read more

Los Altenos was a great choice! Delicious breakfast burritos and very kind staff. Lovely establishment!

Smiling faces ready to help. The tortillas didn't fall apart which is a huge plus. The corn tortillas tasted great. I ordered 4 different tacos-Chicharron, Asada, Carnitas, and Lengua. Favorite was the chicharrón and least favorite was the carnitas because it was a little dry. Can't give for stars because of the mediocre side salsas. Still very delicious will be returning to try others. Ambiance was just fine. Nothing fancy just good food. read more

We had a delicious lunch with excellent service. Our food was ready so fast and everything was hot and fresh. We enjoyed the carne asada tacos, rice and beans, a custom bean and rice burrito and the kids beef enchilada plate. Their chips and salsa were delicious as well. We would definitely return for more authentic Mexican food. read more

This place is so good has the best pollo burrito ever and menudo. I would 100% recommend

Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Over priced food and small portions. Food came out cold. Only the French fries were hot. Service was amazing the lady's were nice and all. But from past experiences it's better to not complain because if they remake your food you might get spit in it. Will definitely not come back. Wasn't worth the $40 for 1 burrito 1 combo meal and a kids meal. Plus we had tipped $5 before getting the food. read more

We dropped in for dinner after a long day of driving. Nice warm fresh chips and tasty food hit the spot. While the ambiance is nothing to write home about, the food is worth it. read more

These guys at Los Altenos deserve better than their 4 star rating! C'mon people, give them their due respect! In a small strip building just outside of the downtown Flagstaff area sits Los Altenos! Not much to look at from the outside, or even the interior. But anyone who knows, and looks for, good Mexican food knows that it's these type of locations that do it best! Two words for ya...Carnitas Dinner! Their take on the carnitas classic was different but extraordinary! The meat was tender, well seasoned, and really juicy! The rice was good, but he side of beans was excellent. It appears that they make their own flour tortillas too which had me from the start! If you want a more authentic Mexican experience, then this is your stop when visiting Flagstaff! read more

Excellent food! Great Service! This is a family owned restaurant and they take pride in their food and service. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! It's a place that I will return to if I ever come back this way again. We are on a road trip and this was where we stopped for lunch on Christmas Eve. read more

The food and the staff are awesome! We've been coming here for about a decade and we're never disappointed.

I love Los Altenos! They have great salsa options and their bean and cheese burrito is delicious. As a vegetarian I'm always excited to find a place that does not use lard in their refried beans. The meat eaters in my family are always happy with their choices. read more

wow!!!! super good - the chicken/pollo tacos dorados-- were awesome. the beans, rice, and the horchata was so gooooodddd!!

So we were looking for a place that had tripas within our area in town. We came across this place and decided to give them a try. As you walk in it seems like your typical "bertos" type of restaurant where you order at the counter and get your food on disposable plates. The staff seemed pleasant and they spoke both English and Spanish. We ordered a tripas burrito with pico and guacamole and a carnitas burrito with pico and guacamole to-go. I understand that most places add rice and beans to fill up the burrito but the amount of tripas in our burrito was drowned by the guac & pico I think I maybe counted a total of 10 tripas pieces the carnitas was the same, very little. Again, I knew the burritos would be a little skimped but seriously it was not worth the money we paid for 2 burritos! To top it all off the food lacked salt or flavor period! I don't usually do negative reviews especially when the service was good but almost $30 for 2 to-go burritos with very little filling is disappointing! read more

I've been going to Los Altenos for all my Mexican food cravings since my first year at NAU -five years ago ! The food is not only delicious but it's ran by a core team that's been able to elevate their business and represent their culture immensely since then. On Saturday I stopped by with a friend to grab some pozole and menudo to go and it couldn't have been busier, two different construction groups, the whole NAU men's cross country team, and a few others and the two main women working that day are nonstop moving and getting it done, they gave such kind and great service ! I love this place and am so happy to see it so filled up whenever I go. It's the food, the service, and the great atmosphere. Gracias por todo ‼ read more

When I bite into a Los Altenos veggie burrito, it is pure euphoria. The deliciously supple tortilla is a vessel for all things good and holy in this world. If I could describe the feeling of catching all green lights when you're running late to work in the form of a food, I would describe it as the rice and beans mixture that comes from the beautiful hands of the Los Altenos cooks. Getting greeted with a smile is the cherry on top of this absolutely perfect restaurant. When the stars align perfectly in the night sky, you can see a beam of light shining down onto this glorious restaurant. Follow your heart to the best burrito in town, and you'll never forget it. read more

After a long hot wonderful spectacular day at the Grand Canyon we fell onto the bed and mumbled...dinner? We found Los Alternos was close with some solid Yelp ratings and gave it a try. We discovered this family owned place that had started taco Tuesday! What a lucky find. A selection of tacos at $1.50 each. I had carnitas, al pastors and went off the $1.50 menu for tripe. Wow so good and such quick service. Sherry is a burrito girl and feels you have to try your standard item everywhere to compare. She had a shredded beef burrito which she found really good. I had a taste and it was yummy. There is a salsa bar with all the choices plus some killer looking whole chilis and cucumbers, shredded cabbage and limes. The sauces were medium spicy to WTF hot lol!! Taco Tuesday must be well known there because this is no exaggeration - there were about 15 people in line to be served. I love a deal but I love food more - is go here even on a Wednesday! read more

Best Mexican food in Flagstaff. Basic order at the counter and they bring the food to the table. No frills atmosphere. But, the food is outstanding. My go to is the #2 Chili Relleno and cheese enchilada. The red enchilada sauce is my determining factor for what I'm looking for in a Mexican restaurant. It is perfect. The relleno is stuffed with plenty of cheese with the right amount of egg batter, and the poblano chili has the perfect amount of heat. Hubby prefers chicken enchiladas with green sauce or the fish tacos. Always busy at lunch. Well worth the wait if you don't get there before the crowd. The outside patio tables are a plus when the weather is nice. read more
