Delicious food and very pleasant staff just wish I lived or worked closer.I would ignore the comments that talk about lacking authenticity as those comments are ignorant like all Mexican regions have the same style food. Makes as much sense as someone going to a southern restaurant in the U.S. and expecting it to taste like a restaurant on the west coast and claiming their American food lacks authenticity when the south is clearly different than the west coast, which is different from midwest which is different from the northeast, etc.Many who live in Arizona and have ties to Mexico (which is many of us) simply think all Mexican food should taste like what they ate growing up which is obviously influenced by where in Mexico our exposure was, not tasting like what these people grew up on does not mean it lacks authenticity.

The food is just as fresh, homemade, and delicious as it was when we first came decades ago. The service was outstanding, and our meals arrived quickly and piping hot! We enjoyed a delightful homemade salsa—definitely no jarred stuff here. The chimi chinis were generously filled with shredded beef and loaded with guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and plenty of other toppings. Our chile relleno was fantastic as well, lacking the overly thick egg batter that you often find at other places. We won’t be waiting another 40 years to come back!
