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.

My husband was craving Menudo this morning. Thank you Yelp. The salsa, menudo and my breakfast burrito was absolutely delicious! Coffee was great too. We are happy to find a neighborhood Mexican Restaurant. They have happy hour too, yes.

Pros: Looking for a new place to regular? Don't look any further. Anaya's is a great little Mexican food restaurant serving up flavors from Estado Jalisco in Mexico. I have spent time plenty of time in Mexico, and enjoyed the different flavors of Mexico. This restaurant stays true to the flavors of the south. They serve up traditional dishes of the Puerto Vallarta as well as other popular dishes found throughout Mexico. The restaurant is quaint, but as festive as you could expect from a restaurant whose roots are from a beautiful beach state. Phoenix offers many Mexican food restaurants to eat at, but many are tainted with flavors of Arizona. This place is an awesome treat for those of us who are seeking a more traditional dish meal like you would find in mexico. If you are looking for a deviation from a chain restaurant you really need to try this place. Cons: The only place I find this restaurant to fall short is on their wait staff. They seem to be a little impatient when you have questions or want to share how great your experience is. This can be a mood killer when the service doesn't match the great taste of the food. I mention this because on several occasions the waiters rush off to the kitchen before we can complete our inquiries. The dining area is only about 1000 sqft. It has been after lunch when we visit so it has been slow. I am writing this in hopes that it's owners or management will tell them to be a little more patient and curteous to patrons.

Chips and Salsa is marvelous, ordered the street taco's and they were to die for. Will definitely return. Chug was our server and she did a marvelous job not to mention she was very kind and considerate, I wanted three street taco and she asked me if I was really hungry, my response was no and she suggested that I only order 2 and that was perfect, I loved that little touch.
(4)Denise M.
Ok I found my Mexican fix!!! This place is awesome and I know real Mexican food living in El Paso! The chili Colorado was the best I've ever had! Beans were amazing and everything is made from scratch with pride! They had the best micheladas and actually knew what torreados were! No kidding - this place is by far the best Mexican food in Phoenix! Surpasses every Mexican place I've been to! Service is great loved the atmosphere too!
(5)Timothy G.
Good was greasy, not fresh or healthy that I was expecting. We ordered our food to go, and when they brought it out to us, I asked for more salsa. I said that the amount they gave us wasn't enough, and she refused to give me anymore salsa. She said "that's enough salsa for you". How is she supposed to know how much salsa I like?
(1)Keith S.
Wonderful menu! We've loved everything we've tried. Get the arroz con pollo (and ask for extra sauce)!
(4)Tara M.
On a recent visit back to Arizona, I knew I needed some authentic Mexican food. Checked out other Yelp reviews and this was spot on. I ordered the lunch special and for $8 (wow!) I got a tamale, chile relleno, beans, rice, and chips and salsa. It was spicy, just like I love it. Best salsa I've ever tasted. Had a good lasting burn but not over the top burn. I wish I could move back to Arizona so I could eat here again and again. Service was quick, efficient, and servers were polite. If you live within 50 miles, go check this place out for delicious Mexican food.
(5)C V.
Delicious and super clean place. Carne asada was tender and moist. Pozole is delicious!! I will be a regular.
(5)Jesse T.

(5)Janelle F.
Fast service. Great prices for a good amount of food. Best part for us was the salsa. It was excellent.

I must say, this gem of a restaurant is hidden away in a strip mall, but don't let that deter you. Upon entering we were greeted by the sweetest young man. Within a minute our drink order was taken and were quickly brought out. Our waitress was helpful with telling us about the special and her favorite dishes. My husband ordered a combo plate with a taco and an enchilada. He said the ground beef taco was okay but the enchilada was out of this world. I myself enjoyed the enchilada de Mole. Well I have had mole a sauce before this was delicious. It was advertised as spicy but I did not find it was overly spicy just extremely tasty. They also serve authentic Mexican breakfast if anyone is interested it looks delicious. I will be trying that very soon. Can't say it enough for the service and the environment. The restaurant is absolutely adorable inside
(5)Jennifer T.
Cute, small, neighborhood hole in the wall place. I always get the super Michelada which some of the bartenders make better than others. The pasole has been consistently good. So is the arroz con pollo. Carne Assada is also good. No soap in the men's restroom. All in all tho a good spot and hope it sticks around.
(4)Maria A.
Great people, clean restaurant, awesome atmosphere, fast service, great food, amazing drinks all with affordable prices, what else can I tell you to get you there ASAP. ENJOY
(5)Terra H.

(5)Mandy L.
First time here..... Not impressed at all!!! Very poor customer service!!! Will not come back! Didn't even stay for that matter
(1)Angela S.
This was the worst Mexican food restaurant I've ever been to. Please take the time to drive the extra mile to La Perla or Carolinas
(1)Roger M.
Great food, fast service. On different nights, had both the regular and seafood chimichanga. Both were awesome. Shredded beef tacos were very good. Pleasant staff.
(5)Brianne B.
Holy guacamole! This place is like my Abuella's house! The food is so fresh and gives you that homemade vibe. And their salsa, I can't even... It's so delicious that I want to set up some sort of cot and live here so I can eat this food every day. The service is fantastic and did I say how yummy the guacamole is? Because SHIT! It's sooooo good! Please bring your bff here and tell your mom! And text me because we are prolly here already! Fuck. I can't stop cursing because this place is so good!!!
(5)Michelle G.
First time to try this restaurant. Great food and service. Will definitely be returning.
(5)Kelly V.
Delicious little joint convenient to a doctor's office I visit frequently. Salsa is excellent as were the prices. Service was fast and food was fresh. I will definitely return.
(4)Kittylover L.
Delish food! Got the Chipotle chicken and their chips n salsa were yummy! Fun decor and great service!
(5)Thomas R.
Average, average, average. Salsa was good but nothing unique. I got the carne asada burrito loco and it came out piping hot on the outside and cool on the inside. Was huge, tasted fine, but again....just average. The guacamole was below average. My wife really enjoyed their street tacos.
(3)Brittany M.
Very authentic Mexican food!!! I love the pozole. Best place to cure a hangover with the menudo or pozole
(5)Nicki J.
Okay place, took a while to be seated, food was out super fast, disappointed that there were no tamales ready, which was part of the lunch special, overall okay taste. Prices a bit high and service a bit slow.
(2)Sarah C.
A girlfriend and I first tried this little spot yesterday and OMG, it was amazing! We loved, loved, loved the service! The place was clean, the food was fast and the staff were very pleasant! There is a sweet older woman who refills your drinks, she doesn't speak English that well, but the way she makes sure you're taken care of makes you want to come back to the restaurant over and over. Whenever the staff is waiting on you, they are cleaning the restaurant. There was never a moment that I saw any of the employees just lounging around. That makes me as a customer more confident in the quality of the food. Speaking of the food, it was sooooo delicious! They start you off with the chips and salsa, which, I'm a huge wimp when it comes to spicy foods, but that was to die for! ;) Then we were offered the fried ice cream. I've never tried it before but my friend insisted. Like everything else, it's needless to say that it was scrumptious! I could keep raving about this place, but I got to get back to work. Lol!

This is hands down the best Mexican resturant in the valley. If your like me, whose last choice is Mexican; Well no more, this place has rocketed to the top of my list. The menu has a large selection of entrees. I had the pollo chipotle with black beans and rice. It was presented on a unique 16" round plate . It was amazing! My lady and I love margaritas, you must try the fresh margarita. Made with fresh lime juice, and agave. Again amazing. Its a family owned resturant with wonderful people and great service. My advise is drop what your doing and go eat at this place.
(5)Chris F.
Good food and great service! Guacamole and chicken were awesome! Highly recommend in the northwest valley
(4)Gina M.
Went today for lunch. The place is clean, nice, service was good. Food wise...I always order the same thing at Mexican resturants. I've been eating mexican food in the valley for over 35 years, even back in old Glendale when Lilys existed. That's how I gage the food and if I like it or not. My standard order is cheese enchiladas, taco, rice and beans. Sorry to report, but other than the salsa I was not impressed. I still think Ritos, Carolinas, Popos, Pedro's, La Perala certain Humberto's, have better rice and beans. Not saying I'd never go back, but I'd probably just order a cheese crisp, or nachos.
(3)Dana K.
I tried the chicken chimichanga. It was ok. The fish taco was not breaded like they stated. And you couldn't really taste the fish due to all the onions.
(2)Shan G.
I'm back. I love this place. That is all.
(5)Chris B.
My first time here and the food was excellent. They have a new customer for life. I had a chimichanga and a green burrito, salsa and chips excellent too
(5)Randie D.
Went here for breakfast with the family. I love their breakfast options, they have everything from huevos rancheros, to breakfast burritos, to pancakes! The breakfast burrito with asada was really good, and my daughter was able to get french toast. The chips and salsa were also good. The chilaquiles weren't actually my favorite, too much sauce, not enough egg, but overall I'd say it was decent. The decor is cute, very bright and colorful. Our waitress was very friendly and sweet. The location in my opinion isn't the best place to get a lot of business, you'd never see it from the street, but maybe if they advertise more it can become more popular. My only complaint was the amount of time it took to get our food. There were maybe 4 or 5 other groups eating when we were there and we waited a good 20 minutes to get our food.
(4)Kim C.
This place was very good. Took a random suggestion, but the service was so friendly and the food delicious. Nachos very yummy
(5)Jon M.
We were promptly met at the door, chips came promptly, food was excellent, though more lunch-sized portions were served at dinner prices. Would come again, but more likely for lunch.
(4)Marina P.
Excellent service, a rarity these days . Fresh food with rich, vibrant flavor. Really good margaritas! Well worth the visit.
(5)Wayne T.
Another great meal, chimichangas were excellent, as was the beans and rice. Great, fast service.
(5)Robin B.
To start, I'll say that we have a group of 6 that eats Mexican food in this area every week and have as a tradition for the last few years. We've tried several places in the past... Found places with great food but terrible service, some places with great service but pretty mediocre food. This place has the whole package. The staff is amazing and cares about making their customers happy. The first time we went, we ordered food to go and had margaritas at the bar while we waited... Based on the atmosphere and the drinks (which are amazing, Maria makes the best Vallarta drinks... They taste so fresh!) I stated the food literally had to taste like crap not to want to come back. Food is great! We've been back every week since for nearly two months and couldn't be happier! David and Ofelia are both amazing servers... You can't go wrong here.
(5)Karen F.
Best authentic Mexican food there is..... Best MUSIC and drinks..... We had the Ceviche.... Amazing!!!! Maria and Rene gave us great service.
(5)David M.
Excellent place. Good service. Great food....great quality of authentic Mexican food. I highly recommend it. Will absolutely be back!
(5)Coleslaw K.
This applies to both the 43rd ave and Olive and the 59th ave and Thunderbird locations. I have eaten at both and food and service are PHENOMENAL. Tonight took the cake though. I called and ordered a meal with a lot of substitutions and silferoto. The gentleman took down the order perfectly and even made suggestions to make the dish better. Great customer service. He then reposted the order to me and confirmed the location. Apparently I had accidentally called the 43rd ave location as it came up first on Google despite the 59th ave location being much closer. I said that I would call them thanked the gentlemen. He then told me not to worry and said they he would call over to them and place my order, telling me I could pick it up in ten minutes at the other location. I went there in the stated ten minutes and the order was just coming out and was perfect. I cannot highly recommend them enough. Best customer service I have ever received and the food is QUALITY. They're affordable as well.
(5)Happy G.
Food was great. Service was great. Cute and clean on the inside. I had the pollo fundido and he had the chimi enchilada style. Chips and salsa were good. I really enjoyed my lunch. Their website lists 2 locations however the BOGO coupon I brought was only good at the 43rd St location per the manager. She said we could have 50% off one entrée. I thought that was ridiculous but didn't feel like arguing. Not the best deal in town for a Mexican lunch but it could have stayed on my "safe bet" list if it hadn't been for that. I probably won't be back...I feel the managers decision was tacky and it cost them a customer. There are so many choices for Mexican in Phoenix. I use the Entertainment Guide as a compass kind of. I have a hard time trying new places unless it's a great deal. Rarely does this happen with those coupons but when it does, I am instantly turned off. Glad she gave me the 50% because it would have been $30 for 2 basic Mexican lunches. That's too much in my opinion. If I wanna pay $15 per plate I go to Blue Agave in Scottsdale or some place like that.
(3)Eliud C.
Best Mexican food you can find in Glendale. The quality of the venue and price of the food Is hard to match. The menu has a lot to pick from. The salsa and chips are amazing and free. Usually there is a modest selection of beer and the occasional live music.
(5)MC O.
This place was very good! The chips and salsa were served promptly. Our server was very friendly. I ordered the traditional chicken fajitas, and they were excellent! This place earned my 5 star rating because my friend accidentally left his credit card there, and when he called the next day, one of the waitresses turned it in to the manager.
(5)Pearsey P.
I have been here three times. I went twice for food and once for drinks during happy hour. Their happy hour prices are not that great, but I think the food and drinks are pretty good. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also nice and cheery. I really like the ranchero salad with shrimp.
