This review is just for the burrito because that's all I've had…read more The tortilla is top-notch. Honestly, it's probably the best burrito tortilla I've had from any Mexican spot in Arizona. The problem is the meat. The meat is just average. If they upgraded the meat, this might be the best burrito in Arizona. That's how good the tortilla is. But because the meat doesn't match the tortilla, it ends up being just a really solid burrito instead of an amazing one. I haven't tried anything else on the menu, so I can't speak on the rest of the food. But if we're talking burritos... Best tortilla I've had. Average meat. Good overall, but it leaves you thinking about what it could've been.

We then ordered the elote dip... definitely recommend! Husband got the carne asada torta which he said was very good. I tried the carne asada street taco (very small, but good), along with the shrimp ceviche tostada. Everything was great. We will be back!

During our previous visit, we experienced several issues, including food being served at different times, soup arriving with the main course instead of beforehand, and being given an incorrect receipt. I spoke with the owner after that visit and was promised that our next meal would be comped as an opportunity to give the restaurant another chance. We returned with friends, hoping for a much better experience, but unfortunately, the service was still subpar. The service lacked friendliness and engagement, which made the overall dining experience less enjoyable than it should have been. For the price of the meal, you would expect a much higher level of service, attentiveness, and hospitality. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. It's disappointing when you give a restaurant another chance in good faith, only to leave feeling that the experience still falls short of expectations. I believe every restaurant deserves an opportunity to make things right, but consistency, quality service, and making guests feel welcome are essential, especially at this price point. Unfortunately, this visit did not leave us feeling confident about returning.

The elote was equally satisfying, perfectly cooked and generously seasoned. My husband opted for the birria taco and made quick work of both the taco and its accompanying consommé. Service was warm, attentive, and impressively efficient. We spent around $42 for three tacos, a side, and a drink, which felt reasonable for the quality. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the Mexi-Q Twinkies, but I suppose that's as good an excuse as any to come back!

Tried the brisket with red chili and the carne asada burritos -- both were excellent, packed with flavor and definitely the highlight of the visit.

There's also a great variety of options on the menu, so there's something for everyone.

The decor, murals, and lighting all added to the feeling of the space. Because it was my first time there, I wanted to try as much as I could, so I ordered a bunch of tacos! I had 3 street tacos (chicken, carnitas, and al pastor). I also had a crunchy taco plate (1 shredded beef, one chicken tinga). The grilled chicken was very good, moist and flavorful. The carnitas was juicy and tasty (it's the pulled chunks kind, not the diced and grilled kind). The al pastor was saucy and absolutely packed with flavor, complete with some small chunks of pineapple. The street taco tortillas are nice thick and heavy corn tortillas that really held up while handling the pile of meat in each taco. The crunchy tacos were made with flour tortillas which gave them a unique flavor that I don't usually taste with crunchy tacos. The shredded beef was spot-on with flavor and richness. The tinga was moist but the flavor kind of hid amongst the other flavors of the taco. The beans are good, thick scratch kitchen style. The rice was fine, nothing really noteworthy. I liked the thick shreds of cheese on the tacos and beans, made it feel like they shredded it fresh. My wife had chicken fajitas and she was very pleased with the flavor. The chicken was cooked just right. My daughter had a kids cheese quesadilla with Spanish rice and chips. She had her fill but wasn't impressed (don't let that misguide you, her ideal Mexican food is Taco Bell). We tried the blackberry lemonade which was very tasty, reminded me of a candy I used to eat as a kid. Oh and I had a margarita. It was a Goldilocks mix; not too tart, not too sweet, not too weak. Next time I'll get it without the salt on the rim (was a bit much for my preference). We will definitely be back and I'll try more stuff! Make sure to try a few salsas, I like the spicy red the best. Be careful with the orange one, it packs a kick, I'm guessing it's habanero.
