Yes, Yes, Yes! Today, my husband said let's try this place…read more I said ok! As we got closer, I realized I've been in the area several times. I have never ate at any of rhe places though. You order at the counter and the food comes out to the table. You can tell this place is family owned. The owners, whom I assumed were there tonight, were lovely people. While we waited, the woman who took our order brought out a basket of chips with refried beans and fresco queso on top with a side of salsa. Woah! What? Epic. But wait! A few minutes later, a precious girl with the most warm inviting, and beautiful smile came out with 2 warm, homemade corn tortillas, with salsa and cheese for us. These were just complimentary extras we didn't expect at all. Soo good. The restaurant is a humble place. Cute, clean, inviting and roomy. There is an inside seating area and an outdoor section. Someone was grilling meat out front. I think, the owner. I ordered a chili relleno combo. It comes with rice, beans, tortillas, and a drink. Hubs ordered two carne asada tacos, and a carne asada sope. I didn't try anything my husband ordered. ( I was laser focused on my meal lol) But it looked really good. He said, you can tell, they make their food with love. Yes, yes, yes, you can. My dish, was the best chili relleno I have had the entire 5 yrs I have been living in AZ. And the beans were phenomenal. Honestly, I prefer eating at places like this. We came for an impromptu date night. I can say it was one of the best meals and date nights I've had in a while. Thank you. Y'all are gonna see me alot. :)

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food made with heart, Don Ponchos Mexican Restaurant is…read moretruly a hidden gem that delivers on every level. From the moment you walk in, you can feel that this is a family-run establishment. The atmosphere is welcoming and genuine, and the staff treats you like you've been coming there for years. Everyone is incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient--service is impressively fast without ever feeling rushed, which is something that's hard to find. The food is where Don Ponchos really shines. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and deeply rooted in authentic flavors. The tacos al pastor are an absolute standout--perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with bold flavor in every bite. You can really taste the balance of spices and the care that goes into preparing them. Another must-try is the tostada de ceviche. It's refreshing, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying, with just the right amount of citrus and freshness that makes it perfect, especially on a warm Arizona day. And don't overlook the chips and beans--they're simple but so well done. The beans are rich, creamy, and full of flavor, making them the perfect complement to the freshly made chips. It's one of those small touches that really elevates the whole experience. Don Ponchos isn't just a place to eat--it's a place that makes you feel at home while serving up truly authentic, delicious Mexican cuisine. If you're in Avondale and craving something genuine and comforting, this spot is absolutely worth visiting again and again.

Don't let the setting fool you, this spot is the real deal. My only regret? I couldn't eat all three meals here. The breakfast burritos are a gift from God and these do not disappoint. The chorizo and bacon combo, loaded with fresh salsa, is outstanding. And everything coming off the grill looks incredible. If you love street tacos, carne asada burritos, sopes, or tortas, this is exactly what you're hoping for in a great taco spot. Heading back to the Midwest honestly made me a little sad... this is one of those places you wish you could bring home with you

The first time I tried their burrito, it was so good even though it was falling apart a bit, but I didn't mind because the flavor made up for it. I went back a second time and the burrito was just as good! I also tried the nachos -- bomb! Super loaded and flavorful. The asada fries were fire too -- just like back home in Cali. This is definitely my go-to when I'm craving that real Cali-style Mexican food. If you're in Buckeye and missing that West Coast flavor, definitely check them out!

Good food, though it's hit or miss…read more We've been coming since it was in the Holiday Inn up on Dysart but we stopped after three visits where the food arrived burned (like charred black), or completely cold, or it was rushed and the order was wrong by a mile. We decided to try again at this new location. It was good. The ribeye tacos are really good, as are the potato tacos (try them!). Our food arrived hot and everything was good. Personally I'm not a fan of their salsas. And I think it's lame to have to separately order chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. Especially considering their prices are astronomical for Mexican food. And the chips and salsa are not cheap. But those are nit-picks. I'd say good overall. For me it's not anything great, and it's not a good, old, "family-style" Mexican restaurant with red plastic soda tumblers and plentiful chips and salsa. It's more of a "boutique" Mexican-inspired restaurant. Decent for sure, but the prices for me are way high for what it is (a taqueria really). Still, give it a try. I think when they're hitting on all cylinders their food is great.

For those complaining about the price, what do you expect?!?! Go to Filiberto's and be a negative Nancy if you want "cheap" food with no love, no intention, and no happiness. The fish tacos are TRUE CALI fish tacos. Fresh fish, FRIED PERFECTLY. The sneaky menu item is the wings. Fried perfectly and huge. Perfect for football season. Do not doubt this place, do not question whether or not you should come here. Quite literally everything is good, and the menu has such a variety that you'll find something that works for you, and yes it will be good. And I'm completely serious when I say this - if someone complains about the food they're wack.

The spice, toppings -- the surprisingly tender fish in the middle of the desert. But then, salt. I squeezed lime. I drizzled on salsa. Hmm. Just couldn't get back there. I saw a documentary on crack addiction. A body hits that level of euphoria ... then keeps going back to hit again but it's just not there. Yes, I'm being dramatic, but I'm serious about my tacos. I will try again, junkie that I am. BTW, I also ordered tacos for my husband. He is salt averse yet unbothered so maybe only my tacos got hit with an errant extra shake of salt. I left to make an appointment at the nearby nail salon and came back and they were still back there frying my fish - which, as mentioned, was chef's kiss otherwise. I loved my blue pineapple/coconut milk drink. This place is known for its beverages. Can't complain.

The moment you walk in, you're met with a warm, farmhouse vibe, complete with sheep-themed décor that somehow manages to be both charming and unpretentious. It feels like the kind of place where you can settle in, relax, and enjoy a meal without any fuss. The food is consistently hearty, well-prepared, and priced in a way that reminds you that good breakfast doesn't have to break the bank. Whether you're in the mood for classic staples or something a little more filling, they deliver every time. The staff is another standout: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming in a way that adds to the overall experience. They open early--which is perfect for early risers like me--but they close early as well, so plan ahead if you're thinking of a late lunch. Conveniently tucked just off the main drag on Lower Buckeye, it's easy to get to and checks all the boxes for what a local breakfast spot should be. I've been here several times now, and it's officially my go-to place whenever I'm in town and craving a solid, satisfying breakfast. Keep up the great work, Sheep Camp!
