Me and my mom have come to this place on multiple occasions. My comes specifically for caldo soup and I venture out. For this visit, me and my mom used the app to order. I do recommend the app as it is a point system and you can get something free with enough points. I originally wanted a chimichanga meal, however it was very expensive. This was one reason for the star drop, even though I'm aware prices are raising everywhere. I ended up getting carne asada fries which were a little cheaper. The second reason for the star drop was the long waiting period. I expected it, being a previous customer, and knowing they were busy and make everything. However, this time felt really long. The food was all accurate when we arrived home. My fries came as a decent portion. The meat to fry ratio was okay, I would say a little bit more meat would have been perfect. But they do not give enough guacamole either. After a while, my fries were seeming dry and I couldn't eat anymore. I would say I prefer filibertos for carne asada fries. Overall, I will definitely be coming back. If you can afford it, I recommend a chimichanga meal. It is very filling and if you get chicken it is always tender and moist. It is always my go to order. I do not think I will get the carne asada fries from here again. read more

Gluten free and dairy light eater. I am always looking for a quick Mexican Restaurant. This place ticked several boxes for me. Great customer service. Clean restaurant. Good took 10 minutes, all fresh. I ordered a rolled corn taco plate that came with beans and rice. I also got green and red sauce on the side. Freshly made filled tacos. These were not frozen, the wait staff said they were made to order. Great crunch and with the added toppings ( lettuce, cheese, guacamole, sour cream which I didn't get). There was only 3 I could have eaten more. I've read some reviews that they reduced their plate size because of prices. The beans were basic but good side. I ate it with rice. The rice was pretty good. Some mex rice has peas and carrots. These did not. Really good flavor. The sauces were both flavorful. The green was my favorite. The red was a bit spicy and not vinegary at all which I have had in other sauces. Overall I will return. read more

This local restaurant is a hidden gem! Bail on the mega franchises and support this local restaurant!!! We were amazed by the food and the nice atmosphere. The variety of delicious meats was impressive, and I especially enjoyed the fresh flour tortillas. The chili verde was full of flavor, and my wife couldn't get enough of the street tacos. She really liked the grilled chicken. Even the grilled shrimp was great. The complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit--come support this great spot! read more

It's hard for find a family owned Mexican food restaurant in East Mesa. Rudy's is outstanding! They have a variety of food from enchiladas to enormous burritos. My personal favorite is the Cream Cheese Burrito. Service is quick and brings the food right to your table. It is truly a neighborhood spot as I seen my neighbors there all the time. It has a smaller dining room for people who want to stay and eat, and great take away. It is a must try! read more

I was close to hangry and needed something quick. With uncharacteristically little research, I chose Rudy's Grill. I got a burrito and a breakfast bowl to save for the morning. (Kitchen remodels lend ample opportunity for takeout). The burrito was HUGE! Delicious, and the tortilla seemed homemade. The breakfast bowl was machaca and scrambled eggs over refried beans with cheese. This isn't really a typical thing I'd order, but it was so good!! My order came with red and green salsas. I'm usually more of a red salsa person but I liked the green better on the burrito. The red salsa was pretty dang close to perfect though-- will require more research! read more

One of the best Mexican spots I've been to since I moved to AZ. My go-to spot when I'm craving Mexican food. Al pastor burrito and tacos were great. They were also super accommodating when we told them that my wife was vegan. They cleaned their cooktop and changed their gloves on top of making sure there was no dairy in or near her food. We didn't ask for any of that. The cooks just did it on their own. Great service! read more

Was craving Mexican and decided to order in from this place, which was rated high in UberEats. Food arrived quick and looked pretty...but was super bland. I got a shredded beef chimichanga. The outside was too hard, the inside was undercooked, the meat was super dry and had no flavor. It had the tiniest bit of sour cream on top. I also added guac, which cost $1, and there was maybe 2 small spoonfuls. The chips were not great either - super (too) crunchy, thick, and unsalted. For the 3 salsas that came with the chips, the red was good - spicy, green was good, and the 3rd was a container of chopped onion.... I assume it was supposed to be pico with tomatoes and cilantro, but it was almost all just onion. This one's a no for me. read more

This place has become a neighborhood staple over the years, and I feel like it doesn't get enough credit. I've reviewed it before, but felt compelled to update after I watched the hard working staff get berated for the food taking too long. First of all, this isn't Taco Bell. You can eat in or take out, but I strongly suggest calling ahead if you are taking out. Why? Well, if you do eat in, you will see about 5 people (one of which is the owner) working their tails off in the kitchen. The phone is always ringing and there's always a steady stream of customers. And the food? It's so fresh! Everything is made with care and delicious. You can't go wrong with the menu and the margaritas are always potent. Cheers to this family restaurant and thank you for making us feel like part of your family. read more

Went here for the first time tonight and had a good experience! Not too many people in there for a Saturday night, maybe one or two other couples. Easy ordering, nice service, food came quickly. Just wanted to try out a new place close to home and it didn't disappoint! We had the chips + guacamole appetizer too and it was pretty good, maybe not $6 worth of guac but still good. We split the main dish and it was enough food to be full! Will go again. read more

What happened!?! Every time we come the food is so good. Today was a major disappointment. Nachos were bland. Grilled chicken was rubbery. Chips weren't completely cooked. Soggy with oil. They gave my food to someone else that ordered food to go. Then we just watched everything go down hill from there. Orders were getting lost left and right. When I got my burro it was hot and tasty at least and the woman apologized. Young new girl taking the orders was mixing things up. Didn't know the menu or the food for that matter.

Obviously we went with the doubles and no regrets. Service was on point! They were super friendly and on top of it. Now to the entrees, they did not disappoint. I had the queso tacos with the birria. The beef was perfectly tender and flavorful. The consommé was delicious as well. My boyfriend had the quesadilla and he just kept saying how good it was.

My husband & I discovered Rudys on a delivery app. We were looking for a taco spot that had consome & Rudys was the only place that came up. We are big consome fans. We ordered the Quesdatacos that come with consome. Delicious! We ended up ordering 3 days in a row (Yikes!) lol they were consistent every time. Too 3 taco places in our opinion. One day we went to the actual location for a pick up. It is tucked away in the back corner of the plaza. Location is mice & clean and friendly staff.

As a native Phoenician and a taco aficionado I pride myself on never ending my pursuit of finding the most delicious taco on the planet. You can order not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 (cuatro) carne asada tacos at Rudy's for $6. Six. Dollars. Did I mention the salsas? mmmmmm. They are "blended salsas" meaning the are made on-site.

A coworker recommended this place. Never heard of it but…read moreapparently they have four locations through out the valley. You get chips and salsa when you sit down. We went during happy hour. We tried the mini tacos and a quesadilla. The mini tacos were good, pretty tasty, and cute. The place has a modern look. Nice. Looks like they have an upstairs with a few tables up there. Our server was Jaden (I think that was her name) she was very nice. But honestly we felt rushed. I would try this place again. I really enjoyed their horchata!! It was really good!!

I stopped at Ritos in Mesa Riverview after work today. I work in McCormick Ranch and live in South…read moreScottsdale. I'm posting this review for two reasons - The first being because the manager passed the restaurant phone over to the supposed "owner" after I called within five minutes of getting home to tell them the chips and taco shells tasted like they were fried in old, rancid oil. The manager told me she could offer a credit and when I said I would prefer the refund to my card is when she went to get the "owner". I'm fairly sure I wasn't an asshole to her. I was pretty peeved at this point because we're talking about almost $16 of the $49.11 which was the cost of the food I ordered before tax and tip. I work in the service industry/for tips too so I get it. I'm well aware of the price increase of everything everywhere!!! Before going to Ritos I waited in a line of 10 cars at Sam's Club for gas and gas was $49.65. So there's that. The "owner" also reiterated that a refund would only be given if I brought the food back. I'm sorry, but, I live 15 minutes away from Mesa Riverview. My employer was 30 minutes from the restaurant. I sure as f*ck wasn't going to get my ass back in my car and drive back to Ritos to give them shitty tacos and chips. They told me they would offer a credit for next time for chips and 2 tacos - and I guess that's acceptable but my question is - how are you going to provide that when you don't have my number or an email address for me? And aren't chips typically complimentary at a Mexican food restaurant when you dine in? The manager had the audacity to say that the oil was changed, the chips and tacos are cooked in different vats, the cost of meat has gone up and "everyone is feeling it." That's quite the level of audacity. I'm to the point where I don't give a about your credit and if I want Ritos I'll drive even more out of my way to the Garfield or 7th Street location. I'm more pissed off about the "owner's" attitude than I am about the $2.55 chips I threw in the trash. And the taco shells didn't taste too rancid drowning the inside in salsa. My mother was in her bedroom in the back of the house (I was in the kitchen) and just told me she could hear the owner yelling at me and what a sh*tty way to do business. Keep your credit, I won't be back to your locatiom to dine in OR take food to go. PS - Change your raunchy ass oil. As you said, consumers pay *way too much* to get home with a To Go order to have to throw it away because oil isn't changed frequently enough.

Nando's stole my heart for AZ authentic Mexican food! This was my first time here and it was for a…read moremeeting. I took recommendations before I ordered and I wasn't disappointed! I ordered the enchilada Del Mar which had shrimp and crab inside with a side of rice and beans, it was absolutely Delicious I cleaned my plate! We were a group of about 8 people, and were seated on the patio area on a nice sunny day. Our waitress was friendly and on top of what we needed at any moment. I will definitely be back to Nando's but I will have to try a different location because this location isn't convenient to me, nonetheless Nando's is AZ Authentic Mexican food!!!

Found a parking spot and grabbed our hiking boots to begin our journey towards the restaurant. Atmosphere 5/5 Like the other location (Gilbert?) it is a nice and popular location. Atmosphere is modern Latin good vibes and based on the libations area my guess this place gets pretty slammed on weekends., Service 10/5 We had the pleasure having Lesi as our server. She was prompt, attentive and very polite. Lesi took time to answer questions including some off menu options. We ordered the Hefe fajitas steak chimichangas and the Chipotle Albondiga soup and cheese crisp. Food 5/5 First the cheese crisp was the best we've had. Thin crust browned perfectly and the perfect cheese blend. The soups was very nice as well. The Hefe chimichangas was ginormous with great fajitas steak and stir fried vegetables. Delicious leftovers. Both locations impressed. Thank-you Lesi! $51.18 and $20 cash tip for outstanding service we told your Mgr about. Nando's my friends and if you visit this location ask for Lesi-SYOY!

I liked that there was options here rather than your typical tacos or burritos. I tried the Guajolote and it was a burst of flavor and texture. It is basically a Mexican breakfast sandwich, absolutely phenomenal. The Tlacayo was another great one I tried and it was only $5.50, definitely a nice addition. Service was incredible and personable, the owner told me about how the food comes from his town near Mexico City. 10/10 recommend

We didn't like the fact that the soda fountain had all the hoses and soda containers all exposed. The lady at the register wasn't friendly, nice or welcoming. Didn't even bother smiling at us. The restaurant was very plan and looked a little dingy.
