    The Fish Tacos were bland, the rice had an unappetizing texture and flavor, but the Arizona Egg Rolls were enjoyable. If you're in the market for fish tacos, Marie Catribs has the best in my book.

    Eating here now, to clear up previous posts...they have toilet paper, margaritas are 5.75. And extra salsa is now FREE. Food is incredible and the staff is great.

    The only place in town that you can get the weakest margarita in town and pay more for it than you do for your food.

    The fire tacos will burn your mouth off but they are super delicious. Get sour cream.

    Order the veggie quesadilla, and adding chicken is a must! Don't forget the avocado-ranch dressing!

    Pretty pretty pretty..... Good. Didn't go here for drinks but I get the impression this place is always empty so if you wanna get wasted during the day in an empty bar this might be the place.

    Couldn't be farther from real Mexican food. This is just a step above taco bell...... Very disappointed. Great staff but find flavor for your food.
