We stopped here on the way from Phoenix to San Diego from the recommendation of a friend who used to live in Yuma. I think their prices are great; it's very reasonably priced! We thought the food was very tasty. I got some sort of machaca combo. It was soupy (which was a bit strange to me) but had a good flavor. You had your choice of 3 small tortillas (corn or flour) or one large flour tortilla. My husband had a couple of the hard shelled tacos and shared rolled tacos with my son. My daughter had a bean and cheese burrito. The workers were very friendly and gave us recommendations when we asked. They also said they had good burgers, although we didn't order any. Overall, super pleased and if we needed to stop again in Yuma we would stop here. read more

Love this place! Real home cooked Mexican food. Try the rolled tacos made from shredded beef, the are out of the world.

Had to check this place out because of all the hype. Ordered their famous bean and cheese burrito. Was good. Only downside of having good food is the long lines and long wait for a burrito. read more

Bought green chile burritos today and realized they're using different meat now. The meat they're using now reminds me of canned cubed meat. That's too bad because they were really good before and now not so much. read more

The place is spacious. Clean Fast service. Friendly bilingual staff I ordered a machaca burrito it was good. My husband had the bacon and egg burrito he loved it. I don't like the salsa is blah tasteless. A true disappointment.... watered down tomatoes canned sauce with oregano.. For a place that serves Mexican food I would expect a least 2 types of good salsa maybe some pico de Gallo. read more

reason for visit: overnight work trip, quick lunch - recommended to me by a friend on fb service: fast and friendly cool points: souvenir t-shirts are available food: was told I needed to try the bean and cheese burrito. So I ordered one of those and two rolled tacos. The tortilla was tasty and delicious, lots of bean filling, my cheese seemed to be at the bottom end of the burrito but I mean, it's a burrito. Portion sizes are on the smaller side. The rolled tacos were crispy, good filling and my order came with salsa. I added guacamole and rounded it out with a large drink. I could see myself returning, it was good enough that I would want to explore the menu more. That being said, I probably won't be back in Yuma until next year. I'm a huge chile relleno fan but I'm not sure if it's on the menu, so something to look forward to next year. read more

Mr G's - Mexican Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

The food itself was good but the cashier was really rude in answering a simple question: "Can I get my horchata drink?" she said yes but didn't do anything and her tone of voice was loud and rude, w/attitude. Of course, we received our food before our drinks by another server(she was nice) and I told her that we were still waiting for our drinks and Daphne (cashier) interrupted her, and again w/loud rude tone said "we're getting your drinks already"! I wasn't even talking to her. They need to teach Daphne about costumer service and overall social skills. My family and I will not be going back to Mr. G's if we see Daphne at the register. read more

Mr G's - Name of the rude cashier - Mexican Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

The bean and cheese burritos tasted like they were made several days ago with canned refried beans. Nothing like it used to be when Juan and Bessy were still around. Back then the flour tortillas were hand made and not machine made. The beans need more water added to the pot to make them more liquid. Stop trying to automate everything and go back to home cooked food with the original recipes that Bessy and Juan used please. The hot sauce is still good though. read more

First let me start with I would come here maybe once a week on Wednesday after school and their bean & cheese burritos were WAY more filled. Not it's more tortilla then anything. Another thing that has changed with time is their salsa; it's super watered down. [no flavor whatsoever] I see they added a drive-thru; welp don't get in it if your thinking about wasting 30 minutes out of your day waiting to order. read more

People love this place because it's been here so long but really it's super overpriced and regular tacos n burritos definitely nothing special at all.. besides being extremely overpriced lol, the food is pretty decent but yea wayyy too overpriced for the food they give and their salsa tastes like they add a lot of water to it hahaha read more

I haven't been here for awhile, but the remodel makes the place look bigger and refreshed. I got the 6 rolled tacos and the machaca burrito with beans. The salsa is very watery, I just sipped it, and took a bit of my food. Food is always great, and great service. and very fast. read more

Stopped by on the way through. I couldn't believe how cheap most items were. One of the things I ordered was a tamale and the carne asada burrito. The enchilada sauce in the tamale was excellent! The carne asada tastes authentic and really liked the seasoning and it was over salted. I believe I found my new stop in Yuma! read more

A friend is crazy about Mr G's and she asked me to order stuff for her and they were: 2 doz rolled tacos, 7 red child burritos with cheese

Literally THE BEST burritos or just food in general you'll ever eat 10000000000/10 2 locations in Yuma, Mr. G's or Chilli Pepper Have been around forever now and still has always tasted as amazing as before read more

I've been eating here since I can remember. My grandfather loved this place. The food is very good but the service is atrocious. On our way home to Phoenix we stopped to get some food to take home for our family. I spent $40 on food. We got our ordered and got on the road. I checked our bags about 10 minutes out of town. We were missing 4 burritos. I called and spoke to the manager he apologized and I told him we would be headed back to get our food. He said he would have it ready. We drove all the way back and when I got there the manager wanted to argue about how he looked at the video and it shows we got our order. Yeah, half our freaking order! Why the hell would we drive all the way back for this BS?! I left and will be disputing the charge! read more

First off, this place is an institution here. Along with Chili Pepper and La Casa Gutierrez, all owned by the same family, these places have been moving a lot of food for many many years. That said, if you get an order from the drive thru pull around to the parking lot and check your order immediately. Odds are there will be something wrong. Check your order while still there. Don't bother calling them with questions or complaints. The number listed is an automated message about not taking phone orders. No way to reach the staff by phone. Instead just go to Chili Pepper. Better service, better team, better preparation and they can be reached by phone if needed. read more

My husband and I were very disappointed! We have heard such good things, so we decided to try it. We got three carne asada tacos and a carne asada burrito. We asked for cabbage on the tacos and burrito didn't receive it at all. The tacos were meat and tortilla, THATS IT! The meat was over cooked and chewy. For the price we paid and the amount of food we got, we will not be back. We will most likely not try the Chile Pepper as well. read more

Mr G's - Carne asada taco - Mexican Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

It's not fancy but it's been around for years. Anytime I talk about Yuma I say "stop to get gas, hit Mr G's and this other place and get out". They Home make their tortillas every day so there is no store bought taste. The burritos, although small looking, are incredibly filling. Along with the salsa, it makes for an incredible lunch or pleasant dinner. Their other menu items are also superb so totally drop by when you're in Yuma! read more

Mr G's - Mexican Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

The food was cold and flavorless. My burrito had more beans than anything. If I wanted a bean burrito I could've gone to Taco Bell. The horchata water was nasty! They don't provide any salsa for your food. Don't waste your money here. This isn't Mexican food. read more

I was on the way to a frisbee in Flagstaff with some buds. The sun was getting low and the driver asked "is anyone hungry?" It was clear, he was hungry. We needed something fast but thought we could do better. Boy could we. We found some reviews for "the best bean and cheese burritos I have ever had" and we had to check it out. We decided to eat in and see what it was all about. We immediately noticed the AC, a boon in the 105+ degree heat. Mr G's is counter serve with open seating. When we approached the counter we were too excited and ended up asking a lot of questions. They were gracious enough to hold up a wrapped bean and cheese burrito to show us the size. We eventually all ordered, everything in including beans and cheese. Servers brought our food before we had all finished our restroom breaks. Perfect for folks trying to get somewhere fast. We put those burritos down in under 5m each. I got a nice sized flan, which didn't skimp on the vanilla. One of my buddy's got an extra large bag of chips. Highly recommend Me G's for anyone passing through. DO NOT MISS THE BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITO. read more

Place was clean, seemed fairly nice inside and out. I had a rolled taco which was pretty tasty. I was recommended the bean and cheese burrito by a friend and the girl working behind the counter. The burittos here are small, which is nice because some of the giant burritos you get in san diego are way to much food. I got a machacca burrito and the bean and cheese burrito, this was not intentional as i only ordered the machacca burrito and the taco but there was some confusion with my order which is the basis for the four star review. The machacca burrito wAs good, basically a flour tortilla filled with shredded beef. The bean and cheese burrito wasn't anything special and reminded me of microwaved burritos. I won't order the bean an cheese again. The rolled tacos are amazing. read more

I do not even know what to say, besides we clearly did not order enough food the first time! My husband and I stopped here on our first road trip to San Diego, CA. Our traveling companions mentioned a stop here, so my fingers quickly flew to open the Yelp app to get the low down on the restaurant. From reading the reviews, a few things were clear: we had to get the rolled tacos and a bean and cheese burrito, which we would either love or hate, and we would have the best or worst salsa of our lives. My hubby and I do not like bean burritos, but We love all varieties of Mexican food, so we ordered a meat mix burrito with ground beef and rice, a bean and cheese burrito, and rolled tacos. We split the burritos, rather than ordering one each, but we should have ordered another set to go, another set for the drive home, and another set for the freezer! Thankfully, we saved half of our rolled tacos for the next day, or we might have started going through withdrawals. We soaked the tacos in our remaining salsa before savoring each bite, silently cursing ourselves for not ordering more. They are closed on Sunday, so we could not make a stop on the return trip, but we would drive the three hours to Yuma just to eat there again. The bathroom is a little dicey, as one of the doors does not lock, but the restaurant is clean and the food is crave worthy! Be sure to remove the toothpicks! read more

My family has been eating there or ordering for years,we all love their food,my eldest and I walked in was fretted very friendly,have my order,had barely sat down to wait when our order was reslady heck yeah I am returning read more

This place is so bad that I had to come home just to get something else for lunch. Don't get me wrong, I am searching for something good to say, but I am at a loss. Perhaps my expectations were higher from previous reviews, but Mr. G's is simply overpriced, gives small portions, food is of poor quality and bland, and the entrees are oversimplified. For instance, my wife got the $5 large nachos. It looked like the same nachos you'd get at a baseball game or movie theater. It was dripping with a velveeta type of sauce and didn't have any toppings. They must be making at least 80%+ profit on this. I got the "#1" special meal which advertised two rolled tacos, a tostada, rice or beans, and a small drink for $4.25 . The tostada had a half a scoop of beans with some lettuce (no cheese!), the rolled tacos were so hard that a piece got caught in my throat for a few seconds, and there was about three spoons of rice. Everything was on a bed of lettuce to give the appearance there was more than there really was. I'm not a huge eater and this "meal" was more like a snack. Everything tasted really bland. Even Del Taco tastes more authentic than Mr. G's! It's no surprise to say I WILL NOT return to Mr. G's to be ripped off again! FYI: I've posted several pictures from my experience. read more

I've only heard good things about Mr. G's and Chile Pepper, but when I finally had a chance to try it I was seriously let down. The bean and cheese is alright, but nothing special. Hot sauce is watered-down and not much flavor. The machaca smells like dirty feet. This is the only place I've seen that offers 1-dozen rolled tacos for $5, a drunken favorite I must admit. Yumans love it, but it's mostly just hyped-up nostalgia leftover from the older generation stuck in their ways :) Filiberto's is my middle-of-the-road, go-to burrito and this place ranks way below that and somewhere just above taco smell. read more

MR.G's is one of my favorite Place to goeat for a quick bite! their YUMMY Rolled Tacos and Bean and Cheese burritos, When I come from Portland OR to visit (my hometown, Yuma) I ALWAYS stop by to get my dozen roll tacos and my Bean n Cheese Burrito!! The only thing I always wondered was why the owner has not yet thought of Extending this as a Chain or restaurants...and make it a drive thru! He'd Retire real soon! haha read more

Uh.....not quite "ugh!" The service was slow. I got a small drink with my combo that was all ice. Of course a refill is $.70.... CARNE ASADA BURRITO: The meat was way too salty and less than you would get from a "Berto" style taco place. ROLLED TACOS: The 3 combo had a good amount of meat; however, there was literally enough lettuce for a Chef Salad. GUACAMOLE: It was cold and in separate containers. Of the two, one was dark green and I did not touch it. Overall, Mr. G did NOT satisfy the way Sombrero and Filiberto does. read more

I love mr. G's but todaywas very dissapoined no phone orders will be taken plus some of my rolled tacos were meatless i font know if it is because they only have new people working on sundays read more

Mr G's - Where is the meat? - Mexican Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

I love this place. Many reading this review might say ....."WHAT FIVE STARS FOR FAST MEXICAN FOOD." But this place is an original. A Yuma classic. I spent many an afternoon in the 80 and 90s eating bean and cheese burritos and rolled tacos. The prices are great. The quality...well it is what everyone in Yuma expects and they always produce the same product year after year. We love it and recommend that you try it. read more

Amazing food and service! We order takeout from here a LOT and it's always perfect. They have the best bean burritos.

If your not from Yuma, either passing thru town or on a road trip don't be fooled by the looks of this place. I thought it looked like a slam dunk for a 5 star. Parking lot was full and a bunch of people were walking in. I asked the girl at the register what Mr G's was known for, she looked at me confused and said in broken English that they gave the food in to go bags. I said "oh no when people come here what is ordered the most", she said "Machaca". I ordered it and was expecting something different from what i got. The burrito i got was tiny and not a worth what i spent. If i spend more than 3 dollars on a burrito I am expecting a decent to good size burrito. I will give them this, its tasty.( that is why it got a 3 star instead of a 2 star.) Maybe its because i didn't grow up in Yuma or maybe I am being picky. but my experience was not the best. read more

I was given rave reviews by a friend who grew up in Yuma that Mr. G's is THE place for Mexican food in Yuma. Went there with friends while in Yuma for a baseball tournament. Very disappointed in the food. I ordered: Chips & Salsa - the salsa is like water. I understand and can appreciate 'thin' salsa, but this was the thinnest I've ever seen. Chips looked like they were provided by a foodservice company. Albondigas (only served Wed & Fri) - this was good, but very basic. Three meatballs, some rice a few small potato bites and some broth. Side of Beans - these were ok...they don't compate to Carolina's beans in Phoenix. Red Chile Burrito - key part of that word is 'ito' since it was difficult to find the meat. It seemed as if they spread a thin layer of red chile on the tortilla, then folded it up. Friends ordered: Carne Asada Burrito - came with no salsa, cheese, guacamole...just relatively unseasoned meat. When requesting pico de gallo and guacamole and sour cream, the price for each 1oz item was $1. He was looking forward to ordering shredded beef tacos, but the only beed tacos were ground beef. Machaca Plate - she liked the flavor, was very wet/soupy. Green Chile Plate - he liked the green chile, but the meat looked like ground beef. Jalapeno Poppers - filled with cheddar and these appear to have been provided by a foodservice company. Not good. Overall - not worth a return visit. As many others have posted, refills are .69...we left there feeling nickel & dimed. read more

I've lived in SoCal for 15+ years, and Mr G's burritos are some of the freshest and tastiest I've had anywhere. Clean environment, great food, and very reasonable prices (less than 5 for a tasty meat burrito). This will be my go-to stop when driving from San Diego to Tucson.. read more

A local favorite, this authentic Mexican food joint is absolutely worth the trip from any location in Yuma. I frequent Yuma for business, and I make sure to stop in either here or its other location known as Chile Pepper for rolled tacos and homemade tortillas. Don't let let the 'fast food' feel fool you: the food is homemade and incredibly delicious. The house ground beef burrito, the machaca beef, and the salsa are incredible. You won't be disappointed with anything you order-highly recommend. read more

I was excited to try Mr. G's after all the hype before moving here. We went in at like 2pm on a Saturday and it was busy mostly with people waiting orders. We got up to the counter and started the order I was confused about the tacos and asked a few questions and the teen behind the counter seemed annoyed, oh well got it figured out! We ordered 3 tacos, cheese fries and then half a dozen rolled tacos plus a horchata. We took a seat and waited but was trying to figure out where to get the horchata from so asked the girl behind the counter and she pointed to the end of the counter where nobody was at.. so we went down there and stood while she also was just standing there and finally someone else walked by and asked if we needed help and filled it. Super rude gesture but anyhow the meat in the tacos was really good and I loved the salad it came with! I am not a huge fan of rolled tacos but I tried one anyways and it was good! The food was ok but pretty pricey! You can definitely get super good tacos AND rolled tacos a lot cheaper other places in town. read more

This place never lets me down always so delicious! Every time i go I order no less then 10 bean and cheese burritos so I can have some for later! There salsa is so delicious!!! read more

Born in Yuma in 1953 - spent most of my life there. I'm here to tell you that ONLY the old Joe Chretin restaurant down in the West valley was a better place to eat 'mexican food'. Very few places in the rest of the country know what Machaca is, and NONE of them make it like Mr. G's. BEST MACHACA burritos in the USA. People from all over the country driving through stop at Mr. G's, and have been since I first heard that in the early 50's. Put a visit to Mr. G's high on your bucket list! There is no other place like it - even in Yuma. "No bull - just fact" - (Marion Morrison) read more

I was turned off by this place even before we began to eat our food solely based on the excessive amount of single use plastic, even for eating inside the restaurant. I wish these restaurants would return to reusable cutlery, dishes and trays. I won't be coming back. read more

Been here only once... but some friends of our always get their stuff and shares them with us!!! :) We have tried the bean and cheese burrito and the rolled tacos. Both are excellent and would eat them until I explode. The salsa is watery but that is just there style, some do chunky others are watery. I like it either way. Missed the coveted 5th star because of price... the 12 rolled tacos for 5 dollars is good... but a couple dollars for a bean and cheese burrito??? I can buy them at walmart for 50 cents... read more

Love this place! Favorite is the Bean n Cheese Burrito! Rolled Tacos with G's Salsa, amazing! When I'm in Yuma I buy for dinner and buy to take home for next day! Sooooo bad, but soooo good! Happy they remodeled the location! read more
