I'm getting after those chips and salsa as the tantalizing, fresh salsa basically transports you to gardens of your grandmother with just a tiny amount of spice. What do I do, knowing this? Have the best Skinny Margarita I've ever had. I've tried, I've searched. Literally multiple states and too many crappy pseudo joints. Nothing beats the Skinny from El Rodeo. Not only does it save my ego, it lets me really focus on those delicious enchiladas. So few places get beef exactly right as simple as it is, but they have it nailed. I'd fly here again just to get after that Skinny with those all fresh ingredients, in a massive frosted glass. Guilt free Mexican? I know, I know. I count this as being it. *boom*

All the places we wanted to eat were closed, so we ended up here based on reviews…read more Its a pretty large place with plenty of parking. The decor is pretty fun, a little old school but very bright and all the chairs have rodeo themed art. We had a large party and were seated right away. The chips and salsa were fine, nothing to rave or complain about. Salsa was a bit bland but not terrible. Most of us got combo plates and one ordered a steak quesadilla. I picked a pork tamale and a shredded beef taco. I expected like a shredded green Chile pork tamale but it was huge cubes of tough pork. In a tamale! I found the pork inedible and the masa very flavorless. The shredded beef taco came with orange cheese on top and was in a soggy tortilla that immediately fell apart. The shredded beef didn't have much flavor but did have quite a few globs of fat. The quesadilla was huge but the steak inside was gristly. One friend had ordered soda water to drink and they charged her $5 for it! Wild. Its generally free but if you feel the need to charge for it, fine, but $5?? The bathroom was clean.

For our Christmas meal we picked up a large variety of goodies here, and the folks special requests. MIL wanted a steak. I explained to the wonderful lady taking our order, and they prepared a delicious, tender t bone. Everyone highly enjoyed their meals, as always. Wish this place was down in the flatlands where we live, we'd be regulars. We'll continue to be customers here and want to thank the owners/ staff for their kindness and great service.

The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because the servers and staff were very…read morenice. That being said, coming from the Valley, the food was incredibly disappointing. I ordered the beef flautas, and my fiancé ordered the enchiladas. My flautas were absolutely drenched in oil. I could barely taste the meat because all I tasted was fryer oil. When I did bite into them, the beef was mostly fatty pieces, which made the dish really unpleasant and hard to finish. My fiancé's enchiladas were also not good, and shortly after we got home, he became nauseous, had stomach cramps, and had to lie down for a couple of hours. He grew up in the Valley eating authentic Mexican food and can handle plenty of flavor, so this was not a matter of the food being "too much" for him. The sides were not much better. The beans were okay, but the rice was oily and lacked flavor. Overall, the food had very little seasoning and felt heavy, greasy, and low quality. This restaurant was recommended to me, so I was honestly expecting much better. On top of the food, there were flies buzzing around while we were trying to eat, which only made the experience less enjoyable. Unfortunately, this was some of the most disappointing Mexican food I've had in Arizona. The staff was kind and attentive, but the food itself was not something I would come back for.

Small world! This is my favorite Mexican food joint in Payson hands down. When I was eating there…read moretoday I took a good look at their logo and felt like it looked kinda familiar in a nostalgic way.... So I did some digging. Turns out, this is the same chain that got its start in my California hometown! I grew up with Alibertos! Totally makes sense why I choose this place above all others in town. Tastes just like home. If you're from SoCal and need your street taco fix, Alibertos has your back. 10/10 no notes, I LOVE this place. Authentic thick and flavorful salsas, perfectly cooked carnitas, proper corn tortillas doubled up to support the toppings Just the best. This isn't your typical Sonoran desert or Tex-Mex Mexican food. This is definitely a taste of that Baja-style Mexican food found close to the TJ border - this chain literally got its start in San Diego California - and I'm not surprised they're still my favorite all these years and miles later. The men and women that staff this location are wonderful as well. I never have any issues as they are always courteous and kind.

No gloves and no washing hands between. The employee also likes to hand you your soda cup buy inserting her hand in the inside of the cup, right after mopping. There are other food code. Violations clearly visible but am leaving it up to the state inspector to do his job. The employee seemed fine touching cups on the inside, food and food trays and cleaning supplies simultaneously with no care. I am sure her food handlers card is up to date. I did try to inform her politely, but she waved her hand at me like she was batting away a fly. Very professional. A walking health code violation works the front counter. Beware.

Located in the parking lot of an antiques store with bathrooms inside, "Western Village Antiques" to be precise. One picnic table available, but we ate off the tailgate of the truck (which I noticed others were doing too). Tacos were great! Fresh ingredients. "Street tacos" sized. Should have ordered six for two people. My only recommendation: use double tortillas for each taco to reduce spillage and messiness. Otherwise, one can ask for a fork. Wife liked pork. I liked beef. Both were great. They were out of chocolate chip cookies. Darn. Strong Recommend.

Just moved up to Payson from California, so trust me when I say: my taco standards are high. But…read moreCrne Tacos? Absolutely blew me away. We came by on a Monday -- their special chicken dinner day -- and ordered the chicken plate (fresh breast + thigh), with rice, beans, fresh corn tortillas, and both red and green salsas. We also grabbed two carnitas street tacos. The second I took a bite, I knew I was in trouble (the good kind). The chicken was perfectly seasoned, with a golden crust that had flavor in every crispy edge. And the carnitas tacos? Authentic, juicy, rich -- exactly what you want in a taco. We literally turned around right after finishing and ordered two more tacos. No shame. Took them to-go and ate them lakeside at Green Lake -- 10/10 vibes. The guys running the truck are genuinely kind-hearted and personable, which just makes the whole experience even better. Why tacos this good are in Payson, I have no idea... but I'm so glad they are. If you haven't tried Crne yet, what are you waiting for? Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-hit. Hands down, some of the best and freshest tacos I've ever had -- and that's coming from a Cali native. Will be coming back, again... and again... and again. Bonus tip: they serve Vegan options on Sundays!
