    Pretty good. Mixing the hot salsa with the mild is the way to go. Just had tacos and rice with the chips and only cost 12 bucks with soda. I've never heard of using mushroom soup for enchilada sauce. So I'm pretty skeptical of that. But I'll give it a try. Just wish I could find green chile in this state. Left satisfied.

    This was such a terrible restaurant. We walked in and immediately didn't know where we were supposed to sit. When finally someone told us where to sit, we sat down and barely could see our menus. It was so dark in the restaurant. The food was not very good. It was definitely over priced. We will not be going back. The waitress was very, very nice. We had no problems with her.

    The service was kind and friendly, fairly efficient. The restaurant smelled slightly like sulfur. The bean and cheese burrito was less bean and more liquid brown and some cheese flakes. Tortillas tasted stale. The guacamole was just chilled avocado with cilantro, fairly bland. Chips were good though.

    Good, consistent food and fast service. Highlights on chips and salsa as well as Carne Asada. Yum. Margaritas pretty good too. Guacomole was so,so..edible. Have to mention we sat at the bar in the center. It was not crowded but very impressed the bartender handed us the remote without us even asking and helped us find the Cubs game. Nice! If u r in Ftn Hills and looking for good food, great prices, and a lovely margarita, remember Que Bueno. One of the few places that has remained open as long as we've been here! We forget about it way too much.

    Went to Que Bueno last night with my date.Chips and salsa were average at best.There was a bug on one of the chips.I understand these things can sometimes happen so we let it slide.She had a casadia and I had beef fajitas.The casadia looked like something a child made.The fajita was HORRIBLE! The "beef" was not flank steak but some low grade beef that was overcooked,rubbery,flavorless and grey in color.Refried beans were put on the sizzling plate and burned right to plate.Service was good and the place is pretty clean but the food is just awful!Will never go back

    Great salsa and chips! The atmosphere is a bit bright in the restaurant area. I like the shredded beef nachos a lot. Good margaritas too. The guacamole was a bit salty the two times we ordered it though.

    Visited this place from out of town and was pleasantly surprised. The chips and salsa was great. Took some salsa home for a great price. I had the shrimp terriyki with rice and it was delicious. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their lunch too. Good food, the bathroom had one stall out of service and the place was a little run down. But the food made up for it.

    We've stopped in for a beer and enjoyed a Mexican Pizza appetizer(ask for some salsa to spoon on to the pizza...excellent). The chips and salsa are very good and the service was excellent and friendly. Never ate a meal but the place had a steady stream of traffic the times we were there.

    Margaritas are STRONG and AWESOME. Ambiance is kinda strange. We were the only people in the restaurant with a fuzzy tv hovering over us. Kinda boring. Some of the food is authentic and great, but some of it is not. Last time I went I got some jalapeño popper-ish appetizer. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it seemed like it once lived in a freezer.

    I've eaten at Que Bueno several times, and the food has always been great! I would totally recommend the Sanchez Special, which is enchiladas in a special cream sauce, or the shrimp burrito, especially if you like some spice! The fajitas are good too and my dad practically scraped our bowl of spicy bean dip clean. The beer is served really cold, which is quite refreshing, and the margaritas have always been good as well. I am so confused by some of these negative reviews. They sound like nothing I have ever experienced at this restaurant. I would recommend Que Bueno to anyone looking for some good, authentic Mexican food.

  • Rob T.

    I really wanted to like this place prior to going here however, I can't. The customer service and environment are good but the food is dry and tasteless. I've eaten here 4 times thinking each time it might be better but, unfortunately it is not. My advice is to reduce the menu of stale frozen dishes and have fresh dishes even if it means having less items on the menu to choose from.

    We decided to have Mexican food at Que Bueno's before the "trick or treat" kids came to the house. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food. The server was friendly and really paid close attention to us, filling our drink and water glasses without having to ask. I had the Sanchez Special which was two enchiladas, one with chicken and the other with shredded beef covered with a cream of mushroom sauce. The enchildadas were packed full of meat and flavor. My wife had the taco and enchilada which were just as good. Not a bad place for good food, friendly and fast service.

    The cheese enchilada was pretty good. But the grounded beef taco was horrible! I think Taco Bell makes better grounded beef taco. I wouldn't come back again.

    Will never go to this place again. Gross is an understatement. Had to send my dish back as it made McDonalds look good. Strange atmosphere. Don't reallyfeel like going on about this place as it sucked. Just don't go.

    I used to love this place. No more... The pico de gallo used to win awards, but now it's bland. The guac is a version of the creamy goop you get in a bag from the super market... No thank you. I'm a huge fan of pork flautas, but this came out as a gigantic thing that looked as if it were wrapped in some weird pastry batter. Didn't taste much better. Looking for Mexican in Fountain Hills? Try something else.

    It's difficult to even write this review because it's a memory I would rather delete. This restaurant is an eyesore from the door and the food was just as tragic. On a positive note the warm chips and salsa gave me initial hope but that was quickly lost when the main food arrived. Frozen food quickly cooked has a distinct taste that I can easily replace at home. The bonus was being charged $.75 for extra ranch dressing. Nice 1000% mark-up there. Que Lamo?

    Visited these guys on my birthday last year. And while I think Que Bueno could be a good place to eat, right now it needs Robert Irvine (Restaurant Impossible) to come in and save it. The decor, lighting, ambience, service, and food are all average (or slightly below). To be fair, there was nothing specific that we didn't like about the place...although, there was nothing specific we liked about it either. It's neither memorable nor terrible.

    Great food & service, my wife and both love the fajita's.

  • Heather S.

    Who puts rice & beans ON the sizzling fajita griddle? Had to literally scrape off plate. Chicken was bland & not seasoned. Would much rather patronize Senor Taco, the little hole in the wall, down the street.

  • Veronica R.

    Whenever I go here all I can think is margarita, margarita, margarita lol I love their special Sanchez sauce! Their green chili is different then most, but I still enjoy it (which from my other reviews you can see I'm a hard critic). Recently they started serving a hot and mild version of their salsa with chips when you arrive. I love to mix the two!!! Service was great ... I can't tell you much about their rice, but I can say I will keep on going back!

  • Cecilè C.

    Had visited this place on a few occasions, over priced, a watered down version of authentic mexican cuisine. I expected much better, and will not return.

  • Kizzy S.

    I absoulutely love a good mexican meal, and I loved this place. I had the enchiladas and I was so impressed by the way it was presented to me! I was also VERY happy with the prices, and will definately go there again. The service was ok, but the food did it for me. I think I put on about 5 pounds, but don't even care... I'll go to the gym on friday.lol

    Took the family here tonight they have a full bar and outside seating which is nice although we sat inside. As you walk in you cant help but notice the many salsa awards propped up in the corner for both hot and mild salsas. Although Ive had better I would certainly say that theirs is the best restaurant salsa that Ive tasted in the valley. My wife ordered the pablano pepper and said it was a little spicy because it came with the seeds in it but she liked it. I had what they call the Accupplulo Chicken or something like that basically a Chicken Burro with Cream Cheez Sauce on it. Presentation was fair taste was good. Kids had the beef tacos they where good. Service and Pricing was Good. All in all certainly not bad but when your salsa is better than your food you get three stars. They also serve breakfast and the prices looked very reasonable for Fountain Hills so we will go back to see if its better than the dinner menu.

    Solid Mexican food with good prices and friendly service. The chips are flour rather than corn, which is unique, and theyre superfresh. Nice and LONG happy hour(s) 2PM-6PM everyday.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
