A great time
The atmosphere of this place is really great. My husband, son and I absolutely love Mexican food and could eat it morning, noon and night. This place looked amazing and we were really excited about going there. I had a Mexican chicken salad with Poblano chilies and my husband has the chicken fajitas. The chicken in my salad was not good at all and the chilies were just soggy. On the other hand, my husband’s fajitas were amazing! So, I’m just chalking that up to a bad chicken salad and am planning on going back on our next visit. The staff was great and the service was excellent!
Dishes I tried:
Chicken Salad
Not very good….but the chicken fajitas were AMAZING!!

Pretty Good
We were at this restaurant two times and had two quite different experiences. The first time, the atmosphere was great, staff was friendly and we were served fairly quickly. The food was great and we enjoyed sitting outside. The second time we went, it was much busier and the atmosphere was not what it had been the first time. The service was slower and the food, surprisingly for having waited longer, didn’t seem as fresh. We will probably go back, but will make sure it is during a not-so-busy time.
Dishes I tried:
Pasta Vigorish
Cheese tortellini was great, the veggies were cooked perfectly tender and the alfredo sauce was sooo creamy and smooth.

Good food
This restaurant had good food, but I wasn’t crazy about it. It wasn’t anything special. The service was so so, but the staff was friendly. I had been there before on a previous visit to Phoenix and loved it, but apparently something has happened. So, try it and you might hit it on a good day. Good luck!
Dishes I tried:
Chicken Noodle Bowl
Pretty good food. Chicken was a little rubbery, but was nicely seasoned.

EXCELLENT!!
This is some of, if not the, best Mexican food I’ve ever eaten. This restaurant is family ran and the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. The price of the food is great—most combo meals are less than $7.00! This place is immaculate and once you go there, you will be hooked!! Highly, highly recommended!!
Dishes I tried:
Enchilada Combo
Perfectly cooked and seasoned….amazing food!

INCREDIBLE!!!
This place was really great. The food was really good, atmosphere was warm and inviting, service was great and the staff was so friendly. We went there for chicken fried steak that everyone talks about and it was better than everyone had described. The wait can be a long one at times and that’s not a lot of fun, but it’s definitely worth any wait you might have. HIGHLY recommended!!
Dishes I tried:
Chicken Fried Steak
Crispy yet tender and perfectly seasoned coating.

Great atmosphere!
This place is a lot of fun. The food isn’t the best I’ve ever had and that was a disappointment, but the atmosphere and the staff make this a great place to be. It’s very cozy and homey and you just feel like you know everyone. To go back again and again to a restaurant where the food is “okay” really says something about the place. You’ll have a blast!
Dishes I tried:
Chicken Chimichanga
a little soggy and too spicy.

So-So
This place I’m not so sure about. The first time we went, the food was great. The second time, it was absolutely horrible. So, we decided to go back thinking it was just a fluke and it was just “so-so”. We haven’t been back since, but think there is no consistency to this restaurant and would not recommend it.
Dishes I tried:
Fajitas
All onions, hardly any bell peppers or chicken.

A real find
This place was a real find. We were driving through and saw this place and wanted to stop, but were a little concerned about the area it is in. We finally decided to stop and were glad that we did. It is a great place to visit…just wish it was in a different area. The food was great, service was fast and staff was very friendly. We’ll definitely be making a stop in on our next visit to Phoenix.
Dishes I tried:
Wings
The wings were incredible! Never had better!

GREAT food!!
I thought this was a really good restaurant. It is a mixture of Chinese and Mexican, which happen to be my two favorites. The service was great and the staff was so friendly. They give lots of samples to help you pick what you want. The one drawback was that the place is kind of hard to find. But, once you find it, you will be glad you did!
Dishes I tried:
Jade Red Chicken Burrito
EXCELLENT!! Chicken was seasoned perfectly and it couldn’t have been better!

INCREDIBLE
This restaurant was a HUGE hit with me and my family. It’s just excellent food—no question about it. The service was great and the staff was extremely friendly. I can see how some people may not like some of the things about it, such as its cash only, only open for lunch and not open on the weekends. Also, there are no frills at this place—just good food. It was perfect for us and we plan to return many more times!
Dishes I tried:
green chile burro "enchilada" style
The sauce was perfecftly seasoned and the entire meal was just perfect!
