In a time when the Mexican food from Patagonia, AZ to Anchorage, AK can be as consistently bland and boring as a meal at McDonalds, this little place makes a good effort to offer Mexican food with a flair. Friend and I had Carne Asado and Pork Adobada "street taco" plates. They were very good and I saw enough interesting things on the plates of neighboring tables to strike my curiosity to try this place again. Pluses: interesting menu, great Mexican beer selection, full bar, friendly service, clean establishment, reasonable prices and Mexican mariachi music piped in. Minuses: TV in corner with basketball game blaring over music and nobody watching it and cheap, unimaginative decor (the lemonade fountains on the countertop is Sooo 1960's Dairy Queen). A weekend trip to Nogales and $1,000 would go a long way to spicing up the ambiance, folks. You could do it a lot cheaper by just buying some colorful paints and texturing tools. We did experience the "family restaurant" level of service mentioned by another reviewer, but the young man cared about doing a good job and was bidable to taking advice. I will return.

Both food and service is just average. The main objection we had was the TV was on while we were dining , not to a sports channel but to brain-dead CNN. This is not the way to enjoy a family meal.

This was our first time and it was DELICIOUS!! It shattered my expectations. I had the combination plate, shredded beef flautas. They were perfect. My nana has competition. They have a full bar and a board with specials. We'll be back for Thirsty Thursday's all day happy hour. The service was great. The chef was amazing. We will be back over and over again.

Just had my first breakfast burrito here this morning. My only complaint was that it was too big for me to eat it all. I had bacon and my husband had chorizo. He was very happy with his also. Wish I would have started going here a long time ago. Yum! Can't wait till I'm hungry again to try something different.

My wife and I got a Groupon for here,and were hoping for the best,since we live so close,it would be great to find another place to frequent.We came a little after lunchtime on a weekday,and there were only a few tables occupied,but finding a table that wasnt still dirty was a challenge.The waitress was very friendly and helpful.First came the chips and salsa.The chips were cold and stale,and the green salsa didnt have much flavor.The red salsa wasnt much better,and it came in a ketchup squeeze bottle,one of my new pet peeves at some Mexican restaurants. When the food came out,it was hot and very attractive.We both had a platter with a Cheese Enchilada and a shredded beef Taco.The beans were good,but the rice was very bland.The Enchilada was bland,also.The taco shell was one of those preformed ones like you get at Taco Bell or in a box from Old El Paso.The meat was flavorless and tough. If the food was decent,we could overlook the messy dining room.But with two strikes against it,I dont think we will be coming back,Groupon or no Groupon.

Went on a Saturday night. The place is clean and well kept. Has a serious family restaurant feel which is EXACTLY what you want when you're looking for good Mexican food. The salsa was ON POINT!! Our food did take a while to come out so I don't recommend it if your in a hurry. HOWEVER the food came out piping hot and was INCREDIBLE. The rice and beans were surprisingly good as well. Most bigger chains focus on the entree and leave the rice and beans in the dust. This place seriously gets 5 stars all around. If you want amazing home cooked Mexican food and aren't in a hurry, this is the place to be!!

First time here. Poor experience overall. Our server got to us quickly but was pretty disconnected after initial visit to get drink orders. I tried a patron blended margarita that was almost completely ice and my date had one as well that was a bit better. It took about 30 minutes for the server to take our food order despite us being 1of 2 tables in the restraunt. I ordered the green Chile enchilada which was O.K. at best. My date ordered two tacos and it looked like we got them out of a taco bell drive through. The chips were stale and didn't come with salsa, but had a taco/enchilada sauce with them. All in all we paid 70$ for a meal and two drinks each. This price is very reasonable for quality food and drink, however I do not feel we got that here. I will not be coming back here ever again.

A group of us went there for lunch yesterday Service was slow. Half of our party had to leave because it took so long. We watched other tables be served that came in after us. When we tried to say something to the owner her response was "try doing what I do" I WOULD NOT recommend this place. The food here is comparable to Taco Bell. I'm being generous by giving one star

My son has been raving over the food here....He stopped tonight and got me to go street tacos and bought a bean burrito for my daughter and a shrimp burrito for himself (which was the best of everything...minus the heaping glob of pico).....I was so disappointed! !!! The meat was super hard, not juicy at at all, was so hard to chew.

I was craving a bean and cheese burrito and Bibiano's was the closest and only Mexican restaurant around were I live. Even though they closed at 1700 on Sundays we got there just shy past 1700 but they still welcomed us and made our food delicious! The food was pretty good. Friendly customer service and clean environment. Even though we took the food to go we still paid attention incase we were to ever dine in. Their salsa was okay I have had better but not bad. I did like that it had a bit of a kick. The sopapia was good, probably would have been great if we ate it when it was freshly made. We will definitely be coming back.

I ended up here because of the Entertainment Guide. I had a bogo coupon and was going to be in the area. I checked the reviews on Yelp so it seemed like a safe bet. We both agreed that this was the worst lunch that we have ever had. So basically that means that was the worst meal we have had in a long time, as far as I can remember to be fair. It looks fine from the outside. It's definitely clean. I didn't mind the tvs or the music. The waitress was decent as well. We seated ourselves and that was nice. There were only 2 other tables occupied at the time. The salsas she brought were good. The chips were greasy and cold. I ordered the #8. Chili Relleno and Cheese Enchilada. I don't know if the poblano they used was canned or the cheese was just watery but I couldn't finish it. There was so much water coming from the relleno. I have never experienced anything like that before. The batter was pure egg. It was like an omelet on the outside. The enchi and sauce was tasteless. He had the tamale and Cheese Enchilada. There was no meat in the tamale. There was no flavor to the green sauce. No texture either. It was vinegary and watered down. I refuse to go back. The specials were listed on a chalk board in front of the window where the god awful food is expressed from the super weird looking dude cooking. Thank goodness I had a coupon. She came by and asked how it was. We aren't the type to complain so we just said fine thanks. We will not be back. They need to work on their recipes. I eat Mexican at least once a week in Phoenix. I have experienced high end and super traditional but nothing like this. This is like the Denny's of Mexican. #neveragain

A neighborhood mexican restaurant that I enjoy. Staff is very friendly and attentive. I can order my fish grilled instead of fried for my fish tacos. Not on the menu but the waitress offered. I always order double beans instead of rice, no problem. Street tacos are yummy. Beer is cold and they have Modelo Negra, my favorite. Their breakfast burritos are large enough for my breakfast and lunch! Again, they will customize. I don't like potatoes in my chorizo egg burrito so they make it without for me. Still a huge, spicy cheesy indulgence. Be sure to have the green salsa. Tomatillo? They won't give me the recipe, lol! Good, not gourmet, food at reasonable prices and with friendly staff.

We have been eating here for the past few months about 2 times a week. We always have the BEST service from Nancy who goes above and beyond to refill our drinks and get our food to us fast since we have to get back to the office. I love the burritos that are HUGE and all the ingredients are FRESH. My husband loves Fajita Thursday for $9.99...The steak is so tender and flavorful and they pile on the goodies with fresh peppers and onions that I love to pick off his plate :) YUM! Did I mention how clean the restaurant is? It is consistently SPOTLESS and everything is made FRESH! I tried the Navajo taco last week...WOW!! AMAZING!!! If you want a great meal with a clean and enjoyable atmosphere and FANTASTIC SERVICE then come and try Bibiano's...you'll be happy you did!!!

Ginger F.
While the menu is authentic, the atmosphere is strange. Tables are sticky, small, and hard to sit with a group. Service is mediocre. Not rude, just rushed and impersonal. The tamales are good and the green chile pork is worth a visit. But get it to go. The dine in experience is missable.

It's a great little Mexican place in the area, which is great because there are not many options close. There food seems more like fast Mexican food (like Romeros and places like that) but more quality! I have tried a lot of different items from here and they all are very good. The only thing I was very disappointed in was the chile rellenos. This is one of my favorite Mexican dishes but it was basically wrapped in a fried egg. The soppapillas are very delicious! Hot and fresh with honey and powdered sugar. (Sorry for the spelling on the dishes, some might be incorrect)

If you have all day to sit and wait for food and drink that is just ok... run to this place. If you expect normal service and not to wait 30 minutes for a margarita then go anywhere else. The server was very flustered with only a few tables. When we spoke the manager/owner, she did not care that service was bad. They really only care for their regulars... in fact so much that regulars who walked in 30 minutes after us were invited to quickly put their order in before us. I have visited this place twice in the last two weeks and both times I felt like an inconvenience. If they only want to serve their regulars they should close for a private party EVERYDAY!

Kirby B.
I was so upset with this restaurant and I will never be back...a group of us volunteered our time at the food bank and decided to go eat afterwards and was shocked at the service we received. There was only one server and got bombarded by people in for lunch. We were in for lunch and already sat down when more people came in. The server proceeded to serve the regulars and it took over an hour for them to take our order..:I actually left without even ordering because I wasn't going to wait. The manager or owner sat in the corner with her spouse and never even got up to help her server. After our group tried to hang in there and just pay for the drinks we got and they were being very disrespectful to us. I would leave a zero star review if possible but it made me pick a star.

This place is awesome!!!! The restaurant is clean and has a good ambience. It is family owned and it has that feel to it. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Most importantly, the food is authentic. Everything tastes fresh and the meat is well seasoned. They give military and law enforcement 10% off.

This place sucks I've been waiting 40 minutes for my TO GO order. What's the deal? I've been waiting 40 minutes for 1 taco and a burrito good thing I smoked before and I don't have anything else to do but wait for this mediocre food that is conveniently placed a mile from my house. Thanks for the bad salsa and slow service. The food was good tho.

Becca J.
Went there today for lunch.. not quite sure how I feel about the food yet. The hot sauce wasn't very good. My shredded beef burrito was good but if you want cheese it's extra (?). Nothing that really stood out to me. I might try it again just. Not sure yet tho.

Just moved to the area and was craving some Mexican food, so I decided to check this place out. I got the Shrimp Burrito and absolutely loved it! I was originally planning on just eating half and taking the other half home but before I knew it, I cleaned my plate. Ha. And my five year old ate her entire burrito with beans and rice. We will definitely be coming back in the near future.

Ok, here's the problem. I really like their food. It's good. However; when I went to pickup an order they had placed my food in the microwave to melt the cheese in a styrofoam container. I asked them if they knew you aren't suppose to do that and they replied it was ok and they had never heard that :-/ Needless to say, the styrofoam was melted and had a small whole in it. The first time I had seen my food container in this condition from them I assumed it was from dumping food in the container that was too hot. Now I know what really happened. So, I don't trust that they know how to handle food. Which is sad because I like their food. This was however a while back, maybe they've wised up since then.

Not fancy but very clean. Great prices and really good Mexican food. I am starting to come more and more often. Service during the day is excellent. The one waitress I don't remember her name late 40's blonde as good as it gets with service. However after 5 PM the girls that wait on you need to work on their customer service.

Just got back from Bibiano's Restaurant with our friend Kathy R. and my wife. In a place like Phoenix where delicious Mexican food is so easy to find, Bibiano's was just OK. I kind of expected more from a "mom & pop" establishment. Nothing about this place is particularly memorable except the fact that we had a superb server (Ashley) who was great. Right away she greeted us and got our drink orders and brought us a basket of complimentary chips. The chips came out with a taco like sauce.... The chips were not home made I'm guessing they came from a bag. What Mexican restaurant doesn't serve salsa?!?! I pretty much judge a Mexican restaurant on how their salsa tastes. I asked Ashley how long Bibiano's had been in business. She told us it was bought out just under two years ago by new owners. I ordered a bowl of Albondigas Soup for all of us to try. We all truly enjoyed the soup. It was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I asked our waitress what was good there since we had not been here before. Our waitress was very helpful in her recommendations Our friend Kathy ordered the Enchilda / Tamale Combination Plate. She thought it was excellent. My wife got the chicken Fajita. She always judges a Mexican restaurant by their Fajitas and Bibiano's failed her taste test. Her chicken was dry and the dish was underwhelming at best. I got the Carne Asada Sonoran Street Tacos with floor torillas. The meat was bland, tough and apretty tasteless. Even putting the "taco sauce on the meat didn't help much. The torillas were burnt and I was able to eat one out of the whole mess. FOOD: The food is mediocre at best. All l I can say is I wish it were better:-( I've been to quite a few Mexican restaurants around the city and this was not high on my list. It just didn't have a whole lot of flavor. AMBIENCE: Bibiano's had very simple decor. The enviroment was not very memerable. SERVICE: The service here is excellent. As soon as we walked in, the bwaitress greeted us and told us about the menu. CONCLUSION: Everyone can have a "off" day... but there is so many great Mexican restaurants in the Phoenix area I guess I shouldn't completely write off Bibiano's but unfortunately, I won't be in a rush to revisit this restaurant.

Bibiano's was a good stop on our way home from Surprise tonight. It is a little strip-mall based Mexican joint that is clean and simply decorated in the traditional Mexican restaurant fashion. My son was happy because they had the football game on TV. The service was excellent. The food was above average. My daughter loved the flautas and enchiladas. Pork adovada got mediocre reviews from my hubby. And my carne asada was very good...good flavor and no tough bites. Overall a very good experience.

Been here a few times now. Both for dinner and breakfast. The chili relleno has to be about the best I've had, and as a native Phoenician, I've had a bunch. They're baked, not fried. They might get a little higher rating if their salsa was a little better. I'm sorta picky on salsa. The service is always terrific.

Awesome family owned and operated Mexican restaurant. Great salsa and everything is homemade. Save room for the sopapillas that come with your meal!

Jon D.
Never knew this little place was over here. Good food, seemed authentic. Chips and salsa to start and both are good. We had tacos and a carne asada burro both which are definitely good. The margaritas where small but also only .99 so you can't beat that. Overall I would recommend this family owned restaurant. Service was really good also.
(4)
Daniel S.
You know...when this place first opened, it wasn't bad. In the year or so since then...just not good. Especially the service. This is a family run place, which I am all for. To me, there needs to be a level of service though that goes beyond the friendly face and the whole 'Oh goodness....I can't believe I forgot that' routine. That happens All The Time here. The food is average, at best. They do have some good drink specials for happy hour, but it's not worth going back for when in the west valley. Sad to see a nice little place regress so much.

Basic Mexican food. Average. Not impressive at all the corn tortillas were rubbery in the enchiladas. Hot salsa had a. weird unpleasant taste to it. Rice was ok and the beans were good. I do agree the rellenos are very good.
(2)
Amy L.
We so wanted this to be good. We have been watching since they first opened. It is the closest Mexican food to our home. We could walk. We recently visited on a week day evening around 8ish. The salsa tasted odd, it had a zing, a bite, almost fermenting. The tortilla that made up the enchilada, was undercooked, raw tasting. The beans and rice were ok I guess. The portion was not very much. Needless to say I did not get that hot, cheesy, saucy goodness that you look for with a cheese enchilada. We had a few drinks before going here, and I was really hungry...you know how you can get after cocktails...this was a huge let down. Oh ya and I am a 5th generation AZ native. So I do know a thing or two about Arizona Mexican food. It wasn't just so so, it was not good at all.

Richard G.
Got the carne asada burrito combo and a chile relleno. The meat was very good, well seasoned and perfectly cooked for the burrito, only one problem, thats all that was on it. No pico or anything, not even a sprig if cilantro. There weren't even the customary little salsa cups in the bag. The rice and beans were sad with no flavor or anything that would make them stand out. That being said the relleno was ok(doesn't look like the on line photo), not too greasy like most places. Just remember you have to ask for anything besides the tortilla and meat. I really hope this place improves as I can see the potential and need for a good mexican place in our little area.

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.

A neighborhood mexican restaurant that I enjoy. Staff is very friendly and attentive. I can order my fish grilled instead of fried for my fish tacos. Not on the menu but the waitress offered. I always order double beans instead of rice, no problem. Street tacos are yummy. Beer is cold and they have Modelo Negra, my favorite. Their breakfast burritos are large enough for my breakfast and lunch! Again, they will customize. I don't like potatoes in my chorizo egg burrito so they make it without for me. Still a huge, spicy cheesy indulgence. Be sure to have the green salsa. Tomatillo? They won't give me the recipe, lol! Good, not gourmet, food at reasonable prices and with friendly staff.

We have been eating here for the past few months about 2 times a week. We always have the BEST service from Nancy who goes above and beyond to refill our drinks and get our food to us fast since we have to get back to the office. I love the burritos that are HUGE and all the ingredients are FRESH. My husband loves Fajita Thursday for $9.99...The steak is so tender and flavorful and they pile on the goodies with fresh peppers and onions that I love to pick off his plate :) YUM! Did I mention how clean the restaurant is? It is consistently SPOTLESS and everything is made FRESH! I tried the Navajo taco last week...WOW!! AMAZING!!! If you want a great meal with a clean and enjoyable atmosphere and FANTASTIC SERVICE then come and try Bibiano's...you'll be happy you did!!!

While the menu is authentic, the atmosphere is strange. Tables are sticky, small, and hard to sit with a group. Service is mediocre. Not rude, just rushed and impersonal. The tamales are good and the green chile pork is worth a visit. But get it to go. The dine in experience is missable.

It's a great little Mexican place in the area, which is great because there are not many options close. There food seems more like fast Mexican food (like Romeros and places like that) but more quality! I have tried a lot of different items from here and they all are very good. The only thing I was very disappointed in was the chile rellenos. This is one of my favorite Mexican dishes but it was basically wrapped in a fried egg. The soppapillas are very delicious! Hot and fresh with honey and powdered sugar. (Sorry for the spelling on the dishes, some might be incorrect)

If you have all day to sit and wait for food and drink that is just ok... run to this place. If you expect normal service and not to wait 30 minutes for a margarita then go anywhere else. The server was very flustered with only a few tables. When we spoke the manager/owner, she did not care that service was bad. They really only care for their regulars... in fact so much that regulars who walked in 30 minutes after us were invited to quickly put their order in before us. I have visited this place twice in the last two weeks and both times I felt like an inconvenience. If they only want to serve their regulars they should close for a private party EVERYDAY!

I was so upset with this restaurant and I will never be back...a group of us volunteered our time at the food bank and decided to go eat afterwards and was shocked at the service we received. There was only one server and got bombarded by people in for lunch. We were in for lunch and already sat down when more people came in. The server proceeded to serve the regulars and it took over an hour for them to take our order..:I actually left without even ordering because I wasn't going to wait. The manager or owner sat in the corner with her spouse and never even got up to help her server. After our group tried to hang in there and just pay for the drinks we got and they were being very disrespectful to us. I would leave a zero star review if possible but it made me pick a star.

This place is awesome!!!! The restaurant is clean and has a good ambience. It is family owned and it has that feel to it. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Most importantly, the food is authentic. Everything tastes fresh and the meat is well seasoned. They give military and law enforcement 10% off.

Ordered a bacon breakfast burrito. It was good. Pretty good sized too... It wont be the last time Bibiano's supplies my breakfast...

This place sucks I've been waiting 40 minutes for my TO GO order. What's the deal? I've been waiting 40 minutes for 1 taco and a burrito good thing I smoked before and I don't have anything else to do but wait for this mediocre food that is conveniently placed a mile from my house. Thanks for the bad salsa and slow service. The food was good tho.

Went there today for lunch.. not quite sure how I feel about the food yet. The hot sauce wasn't very good. My shredded beef burrito was good but if you want cheese it's extra (?). Nothing that really stood out to me. I might try it again just. Not sure yet tho.
(3)Idealia C.
The place is clean, and everyone is very friendly. Food is very reasonable. I had a taco salad, and it was good:))

Love this place. Very informal with lots of regulars. Great food. Nancy is always running the front - funny, friendly, smiling. This is my only lunch spot weekly.
(5)Vladimir V.
Awesome food all around, friendly staff... decent prices too.. Go to place that is near where I live...

Love this place!!!! The burritos are great and the chicken soup is amazing. One of my favorite things to have here are the Micheladas. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to have great Mexican food in a great environment, and with great service.

Just moved to the area and was craving some Mexican food, so I decided to check this place out. I got the Shrimp Burrito and absolutely loved it! I was originally planning on just eating half and taking the other half home but before I knew it, I cleaned my plate. Ha. And my five year old ate her entire burrito with beans and rice. We will definitely be coming back in the near future.

Ok, here's the problem. I really like their food. It's good. However; when I went to pickup an order they had placed my food in the microwave to melt the cheese in a styrofoam container. I asked them if they knew you aren't suppose to do that and they replied it was ok and they had never heard that :-/ Needless to say, the styrofoam was melted and had a small whole in it. The first time I had seen my food container in this condition from them I assumed it was from dumping food in the container that was too hot. Now I know what really happened. So, I don't trust that they know how to handle food. Which is sad because I like their food. This was however a while back, maybe they've wised up since then.

Not fancy but very clean. Great prices and really good Mexican food. I am starting to come more and more often. Service during the day is excellent. The one waitress I don't remember her name late 40's blonde as good as it gets with service. However after 5 PM the girls that wait on you need to work on their customer service.

Just got back from Bibiano's Restaurant with our friend Kathy R. and my wife. In a place like Phoenix where delicious Mexican food is so easy to find, Bibiano's was just OK. I kind of expected more from a "mom & pop" establishment. Nothing about this place is particularly memorable except the fact that we had a superb server (Ashley) who was great. Right away she greeted us and got our drink orders and brought us a basket of complimentary chips. The chips came out with a taco like sauce.... The chips were not home made I'm guessing they came from a bag. What Mexican restaurant doesn't serve salsa?!?! I pretty much judge a Mexican restaurant on how their salsa tastes. I asked Ashley how long Bibiano's had been in business. She told us it was bought out just under two years ago by new owners. I ordered a bowl of Albondigas Soup for all of us to try. We all truly enjoyed the soup. It was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I asked our waitress what was good there since we had not been here before. Our waitress was very helpful in her recommendations Our friend Kathy ordered the Enchilda / Tamale Combination Plate. She thought it was excellent. My wife got the chicken Fajita. She always judges a Mexican restaurant by their Fajitas and Bibiano's failed her taste test. Her chicken was dry and the dish was underwhelming at best. I got the Carne Asada Sonoran Street Tacos with floor torillas. The meat was bland, tough and apretty tasteless. Even putting the "taco sauce on the meat didn't help much. The torillas were burnt and I was able to eat one out of the whole mess. FOOD: The food is mediocre at best. All l I can say is I wish it were better:-( I've been to quite a few Mexican restaurants around the city and this was not high on my list. It just didn't have a whole lot of flavor. AMBIENCE: Bibiano's had very simple decor. The enviroment was not very memerable. SERVICE: The service here is excellent. As soon as we walked in, the bwaitress greeted us and told us about the menu. CONCLUSION: Everyone can have a "off" day... but there is so many great Mexican restaurants in the Phoenix area I guess I shouldn't completely write off Bibiano's but unfortunately, I won't be in a rush to revisit this restaurant.

I love the food and service. My kiddos enjoy their burritos and sopapilllas! Paula is amazing. She's a great owner who runs her business with pride. Happy Hour offers are great too! It's always clean. Try something different every time

Bibiano's was a good stop on our way home from Surprise tonight. It is a little strip-mall based Mexican joint that is clean and simply decorated in the traditional Mexican restaurant fashion. My son was happy because they had the football game on TV. The service was excellent. The food was above average. My daughter loved the flautas and enchiladas. Pork adovada got mediocre reviews from my hubby. And my carne asada was very good...good flavor and no tough bites. Overall a very good experience.
(4)Bobby C.
Food and service was excellent and friendly. Can't wait to come back and try their tacos and green chile pork.

Been here a few times now. Both for dinner and breakfast. The chili relleno has to be about the best I've had, and as a native Phoenician, I've had a bunch. They're baked, not fried. They might get a little higher rating if their salsa was a little better. I'm sorta picky on salsa. The service is always terrific.
(4)John R.
Awesome family owned and operated Mexican restaurant. Great salsa and everything is homemade. Save room for the sopapillas that come with your meal!
(4)Jon D.
Never knew this little place was over here. Good food, seemed authentic. Chips and salsa to start and both are good. We had tacos and a carne asada burro both which are definitely good. The margaritas where small but also only .99 so you can't beat that. Overall I would recommend this family owned restaurant. Service was really good also.
(4)Daniel S.
You know...when this place first opened, it wasn't bad. In the year or so since then...just not good. Especially the service. This is a family run place, which I am all for. To me, there needs to be a level of service though that goes beyond the friendly face and the whole 'Oh goodness....I can't believe I forgot that' routine. That happens All The Time here. The food is average, at best. They do have some good drink specials for happy hour, but it's not worth going back for when in the west valley. Sad to see a nice little place regress so much.

Basic Mexican food. Average. Not impressive at all the corn tortillas were rubbery in the enchiladas. Hot salsa had a. weird unpleasant taste to it. Rice was ok and the beans were good. I do agree the rellenos are very good.
(2)Amy L.
We so wanted this to be good. We have been watching since they first opened. It is the closest Mexican food to our home. We could walk. We recently visited on a week day evening around 8ish. The salsa tasted odd, it had a zing, a bite, almost fermenting. The tortilla that made up the enchilada, was undercooked, raw tasting. The beans and rice were ok I guess. The portion was not very much. Needless to say I did not get that hot, cheesy, saucy goodness that you look for with a cheese enchilada. We had a few drinks before going here, and I was really hungry...you know how you can get after cocktails...this was a huge let down. Oh ya and I am a 5th generation AZ native. So I do know a thing or two about Arizona Mexican food. It wasn't just so so, it was not good at all.

Got the carne asada burrito combo and a chile relleno. The meat was very good, well seasoned and perfectly cooked for the burrito, only one problem, thats all that was on it. No pico or anything, not even a sprig if cilantro. There weren't even the customary little salsa cups in the bag. The rice and beans were sad with no flavor or anything that would make them stand out. That being said the relleno was ok(doesn't look like the on line photo), not too greasy like most places. Just remember you have to ask for anything besides the tortilla and meat. I really hope this place improves as I can see the potential and need for a good mexican place in our little area.
