JK GrenceSeptember 24, 2013The cheese crisp is one of the best in town. It's properly crisp, and they make the cheese crisp tortillas in-house. For dinner, have sour cream enchiladas, a monument to dairy goodness.
Phoenix New TimesAugust 5, 2014Saved from condemnation by the direct intervention of Barry Goldwater, the Second Street location of this decades-old Mexican restaurant is definitely one of Arizona's culinary landmarks. Read more
- Phoenix New TimesFebruary 20, 2013If you're smart, you'll start with a gooey, bubbling hot cheese crisp, made on a fabulous house-made flour tortilla and best eaten with the spicy bright red salsa! Read more
Erik RowleyFebruary 2One of the best Mexican restaurants in the valley! Beautiful & large interior with exotic decor & history of the family that owns this restaurant. Margaritas are fantastic & la comida tambien!
- Phoenix New TimesJanuary 2, 2014For a taste of vintage Scottsdale, this Mexican restaurant is one of the best places to kick back for an afternoon of tequila sipping or knocking back a margarita or two.
- Start with a Margarita or Michelada and mix both salsas to combine a burst of flavor. Our Choices are Carne Asada y Enchilada, Carne Asada Burro with Enchilada, or Tacos al Carbon.
- Robert ChoateMarch 5, 2018Wow! Everything is great. I was blown away by the green corn tamales. Simple. Flavorful. Come often.
Sandra Marks-WebsterMarch 31, 2017Delicious chile relleno and shredded beef taco and skinny margarita! Waitress was very nice and efficient.
Jamie FApril 29, 2013Yum yum yum authentic Mexican delisciousness. Beware of redder salsa. Hot!! But great. And FYI fajitas are easily enough for 3 peeps.- Jon B.April 8, 2023Definitely get the cheese crisp with green chilies and onion. The tacos were also excellent.
- Phoenix New TimesMay 20, 2013Try to get in on the dark, cozy cantina side of the bar. It's more comfortable and more quiet (although that's really just a matter of degree when season's in full swing). Read more
Nadine YoungerFebruary 26, 2016Family-owned. A favorite in Old Town. Close to Giants Stadium in Scottsdale.
Mavis ShawMay 26, 2014Great family restaurant that's been open for many generations. Excellent food and service
Maximum BurgerDecember 2, 2019Nice folks, cool spot, cool decor. Traditional family style Mexican but just not that great despite high-midrange pricing. Tacos al carbon probably the worst I’ve had, no offense.
The service is usually pretty good, BUT you should try to avoid the "busy season" during the baseball preseason. Wait times are LONG around that time of year...
Ricky PottsJune 12, 2012They have a really good happy hour featuring food and drinks. You get better prices sitting in the bar.
Tip the waiters it will please them! And tip if you are having takeout!!!
Christina Holtman-ValenzuelaJuly 21, 2013You get a lot of food for the money although its a bit pricy. Food was good.
PJ WalkerApril 10, 2014Run away ftom.this "authentic" Mexican restaurant unless you like food that requires a lot of hot salsa to give it flavor.
$3 margaritas during happy hour. Order anything, you won't be disappointed.
Steak picado burro, enchilada style, green sauce. Boom.
