    Chicken enchilada with rice and beans.
    Joe D.

    The grilled chicken tacos were delicious. Huge portions of grilled chicken. Complimentary chips and salsa were delivered moments after sitting down. Service was fast and friendly. Fun atmosphere. Patio area for outdoor dining. They also have a large variety of beer wine and spirits.

    Each time I come here I enjoy it more & more & try something different, so tonight it was a 2 item combo plate consisting of a pork taco, guacamole tostada, rice, & beans with a raspberry iced tea to drink. Very tasty! My waitress was Michelle & she was awesome & so nice! It was busy but not loud! Perfect ambiance for a Taco Tuesday!

    Ordered $200+ catering order for a family Xmas dinner. Prepaid. Went to pick up at the designated time and got blank stares. They began making it then but dinner was late causing us to have to eliminate & reschedule other activities. And we had 11 hungry grandkids & 6 upset parents. Not the first time we've had issues with their catering. Won't be using them in the future.

    This restaurant was recommended by our doctor's office. Very clean and well decorated. My husband had the 2 enchiladas combo (with rice&beans). Ground beef and green chili pork. Very flavorful. I had the mini chimichangas appetizer. It had 6 mini chimichangas- 2 each of bean in a flower tortilla, beef in a wheat tortilla & chicken in a tomato basil tortilla. They had cheese, lettuce and tomatoes on top served with sour cream and guacamole. Service was quick. Can't wait to go back and try another dish.

    What a crazy Monday! So after spending $300 on grocery shopping we were to tired to cook so we decided that we wanted to eat out. We were looking to try someplace new and what a bust nothing was open on Monday here in the NE vally you would've thought the food industry was on strike or something? So while we were out in AJ we just happened to stumble across this place and if my eyes weren't seeing things we saw a ton of cars in the parking lot here so we decided that we would give it a shot. The place was super busy inside including the bar area we just happened to grab the last two open seats at the bar because the cold weather outside on the patio was a definite deal breaker for us. The bar tender i have to give kudos to his patients with the seniors and their 101 questions about Mexican food and what's in it took a few extra minutes but I didn't mind the wait. I ordered the beef tamale and beef taquitos combo it came with beans and rice. Now the beef tamale was steamed to perfection. The beef to masa combination was perfect and the beef itself was super tender as well as in the taquitos. The beans were nice and creamy and I can't complain about the rice either. My boyfriend ordered the pork and green chili burrito that had nice tender bites of pork. However I wished that the green chili sauce itself was a little spicier it lacked in the spice department for my taste. This was a good experience for us especially for trying a new place to eat. They have a nice outdoor patio area with a fountain that you can enjoy during The warmer weather and it's perfect for your larger parties of people.

    Is it the same menu from the old LGL?

    They are still using the same menu from the prior owners but I think the food is getting better and service has changed far better then ever before our drinks are full for the entire meal!

    I was looking for a quick lunch spot on my way out of the valley to golf in Gold Canyon and saw…read morethis place on Yelp with the great reviews. Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

    My wife and I came - was on our list of places to try. I'd say "we will be back", but we've already…read morebeen twice this week! Loves it! Not a huge place - I can see how it can get busy. Order at the counter, and they'll bring out to you. I saw a lot of things I want to try, but started with the nachos, pictured. Also had the asada fajitas the next day. Their meat is near perfect. Nice cuts, tender and not dry at all. Definitely a fan. Enjoyed both the nachos and the fajitas. Good serving sizes. Also, loved the staff! They were super friendly and welcoming. They offered to take my empty plate as I was about to. They also bud farewell to guests as they left. Felt like a really warm family place. Well lit, fun decor, clean. Very enjoyable - will be back!

    Overall, really good food with a few things that kept it from being a full 5 stars…read more I had the steak fajitas -- the flavor and tenderness of the meat were honestly amazing. Only downside was they didn't come out sizzling like you'd expect, and the plate itself was just kind of... warm. That seemed to be a theme across the table. Not just mine, my boys' food also came out more lukewarm than hot, almost like there was a delay getting dishes out of the kitchen. Service-wise, our server was super sweet and friendly, but overall service was pretty slow. Food came out at different times instead of together, which added to that "something's off" feeling. That said, the food itself was really good: California chicken burritos (both my boys got them) -- warm, not hot, but they said the flavor was great. Maybe a little heavy on the avocado, but still good. Birria tacos, our friend loved them and the Consomé was solid. Hatch Chile Queso Fundido with corn chips was the standout. Chips were fresh and the dip had the perfect amount of spice. Definitely a must-order. Ceviche had fresh ingredients and really good flavor. So yeah, food quality is there for sure. Just wish it came out hot and a bit more consistently. If they tighten that up, this place is easily a 5-star spot. But I definitely did recommend this place to friends who live locally to try, it was honestly that good.
