I ordered two orders of chicken flautas with rice and beans. Two waters..a Horchata(my daughter liked it)and Jamaica. When we opened up the food this is how it looked. Pictures below. Hardly no cheese. The sour cream was watery from the lettuce still being wet and the crunchiness of the flautas got affected. The green salsa/guacamole?? Don't even know what that was..it was sauce that was greenish and so thick it looked squishy and tasted horrible. It couldn't even slide out the little cup to my flautas. Kitchen and Cashier were busy - con el chisme-(gossiping). In overall I would never order there again. I know how to cook and this was embarrassing. $32 NOT well spent. Would actually like a refund on this one Rated 1 star but would rate 0 if I could Esto no es como deben saber las flautas. Estoy desilucionada con su calidad en comida Y servicio( customer service)

A friend of mine and me were exploring the area and he suggested that we have lunch there. My choice was the Chile relleno, flour taco with ground beef and a cheese enchilada and accompanied by rice and refried beans. The Chile relleno was cooked perfectly, along with everything else. If you are looking for authentic, fresh Mexican food this is the place to go. It was delicious! I can't wait for the return trip for breakfast! Highly recommended!

La Casita in Mammoth, AZ is the basis upon which I judge Mexican food. From simple cheese crisps to…read morethe many combination plates they offer, La Casita's food is top notch. If you're traveling up or down AZ Highway 77, it is a required stop if you're passing through. The venue is not fancy, but who cares when the food is good. The servers are always attentive. I no longer get to sample their offerings as often as I would like. I used to work locally and it was the obvious lunch stop with vendors because of how good their food was. This trip I got my old favorite, Machaca Chimichanga (which you can't get that's worth anything in TX or MT). The tortilla was crispy and almost melted in my mouth without any signs of oil. Yum! Their beans are always excellent, made the old-fashioned way, creamy. Fit my drink, I opted for Modelo Negro, which complimented my chimi perfectly and followed the meal with an order of sopapillas with cinnamon & sugar and honey. ¡Perfecto!

Probably ranks as one of the worst burro in AZ, sorry but true. I ordered the Machaca Shredded Beef…read moreBurro. It looked like a pancake rather than a burro. Hardly any meat and bland.

We ordered the shredded beef and the chicken tacos to be on the safe side. They were freshly fried hard shell with abundant fillings. We probably preferred the shredded beef. They were excellent and filling. Their red and green sauces were excellent. We should have asked for their recipe. The service was excellent. The place was empty when we arrived and when we left. The waitress said they did most of their business at dinner time. Again, don't let the outside appearance deter you. Really a great place and we will return and try something else on their menu. We missed that they had numerous beers on draft and had our first and last Estrella Jalisco which I have been wanting to test for sometime.

Lunch!

There was a huge menu and we decided to get the number three combo platter that had a pork, tamale, cheese, enchilada, and beef taco. He had the Carne Asada with green chili and cheese. Solid food.

We would highly recommend this place if you want a solid home-cooked and fresh meal.

I am not exaggerating when I say I could drink their enchilada sauce straight out of a coffee mug. It is THAT good. It has so much flavor, and it completely makes the meal for me. I could probably put it on just about anything and be happy. The food is flavorful, filling, and exactly what I want when I am craving Mexican food. The portions are generous, the atmosphere has that comfortable local restaurant feel, and the service makes you feel welcome. But seriously, did I mention the enchilada sauce? There are restaurants you remember because you had a good meal, and then there are restaurants where you find that one thing you start craving later. Guayo's enchilada sauce is absolutely that for me. If they ever start selling that stuff by the gallon, someone please let me know. I'll bring my own coffee mug.

Thanks Yelp for helping me find 20 years of good eats, drink and fun! La Luz Del Dia means "the light of the day" in Spanish and boy is this place bright and cheery and the perfect start to a glorious and beautiful Sunday morning. You know this place is gonna be good because as I drove down the deserted road nary a car through downtown Globe and arrive at this place, you see a bunch of cars parked huddled near this place. I knew it wws gonna be good. I walk into this unassuming place and almost every table is taken at close to 9am on Sunday. There were a few seats at the counter facing the open kitchen so I made a beeline to sit down. Wait staff and customers in here are so nice and friendly! The cute girls working here are fast and efficient, and super sweet and all with a smile. I was pretty hungry as I hadn't eaten since Friday breakfast and was ready to gobble up a good breakfast. I had a chorizo burro (same as a burrito, still trying to figure out the difference) and a cup of coffee. Coffee was ok, and did the job. But, the burro was great! Southwest breakfast burritos are some of the best, and when you're in the Southwest, definitely don't pass this up to have. This burro was also huge and despite the fact I was famished, I could only eat a half of my burro. You can get red or green salsa, but since I am a spice pansy, I opted for the red, which was still more spicy than I can handle. By 9:20am, I was finished eating and ready to go. You go up to the cashier and pay there. There's a desert and drinks case by the register and lots of goodies there to choose from too. There was baklava, orange cake and brownies on offer. I also spied a chamoy pickle for sale too, here in the Southwest when the summers get so hot, having a pickle is sometimes in order to replace the salt we lose sweating so much! Overall, I loved this place! Loved the atmosphere as its kind of an old school diner, and everyone in here was a delight and the food was delicious! I'll be back again when coming thru Globe again! And you should definitely check this place out when passing thru Globe!
