Great Mexican food and awesome restauranteur. Roberto welcomed us and treated us like family. Tocos are amazing, carne assada was to die for and the chips and salsa was perfect. Great night out!

Have visited and enjoyed many meals in this quaint little family owned business. When it comes to a good homemade Mexican meal this is one of the best. This is not fast food or is it prepared, it is all home made fresh. Wait a little longer for your meal, but, you will enjoy the results. On some visits you may notice the children working on their homework or just helping with the patrons. It is truly a family business. Prices for their meals are very reasonable considering the quality. You will get plenty to eat and may have to get a take home box. They also have great Margaritas. Give this one a try , you won't regret it.

Don't get all the negative reviews. The only bad thing you can say about the place is that it can be a little slow. I go about once a month with the same group of guys from the office and everyone loves it. I often go with a couple buddies, no complaints. Its not cheap, but the ingredients are not the borderline stuff you get at the chain places.

We go out for Mexican food quite often...I had been to the Mill Ave location many years ago so we figured we should try this location since we live close. When we walked in it was a lil awkward, wasnt sure if a waitress sat us or if we ordered up at the counter. Eventually, we were told to sit where we like. The waitresses weren't wearing uniforms or tags so I wasnt sure who worked there. There were maybe 2 or 3 booths filled, so not a super busy place at 7pm. Thumbs up for coke products and the salsa was pretty good, a lil spicy but good. I figured I would get something safe, a taco, enchilada, rice ans, beans. Food came out piping hot, however I have to admit I was disappointed. The taco was super deep fried and greasy and only had lettuce, no cheese or tomato.. That's just how they do it. The beans were pretty good, and the enchilada was okay, not very flavorful and same goes with the rice. Service was okay, once food came we were never checked on. Our experience wasnt bad, but there are other places I enjoyed more so im being fair and giving 3 stars

The red chili mixed burrito is delicious. The beans and rice were also very good with a homestyle flavor.

Very very good. Kind of hard to see it from the street. Such big portions and amazing prices! Authentic Mexican food. Such good flavor

You can never have a second chance to make a first impression. I thought I would try this place out and support my local taco shop. Unfortunately I got screwed! Ordered a Combo platter and a muchaca taco.m to go. They have me my combo platter w no rice and no beans then handed me bean tostada instead of a muchca taco. The food was very bland and had no cheese on the enchilada, tacos or the bean burrito. For a combo plate and an extra taco it cost me $13, I will not be back and only have it 2 stars because I likes the customer service, but the food sucked! Fast food would have been better..

Casa Reynoso is the best. Always friendly family service and delicious food to boot. When my husband and I loved in Chandler we were here once a week. Favorite things include the Gallo burro, green chile pork, shredded beef tacos, rellenos and their cheese enchiladas! It's unpretentious, indulgent home cooked food. Their salsa is so addictive we used to buy it to go. We're now in California, but every time we're back in Phoenix we stop here. Still a friendly smile and warm greeting every time.
(5)
Jon D.
Ignore the negative reviews and give it a try for yourself. IMO, it's the best family Mexican place in town! The salsa is absolutely wonderful. My favorite is the red chili chimi. I'll admit that somedays they do get a bigger than normal lunch rush and it's a bit frantic, but it's worth it. This is a true family business.
(5)
Amy B.
Casa Reynoso's food is by far the best Mexican food here and I've lived in AZ for the past 35 years. HOWEVER, the service at this particular location is not so great and the restaurant doesn't seem too clean, which is why I gave it a 3. Now, if you visit the main location on Mill/Southern, service is consistently fantastic! GREAT chile relleno (so my husband says - best he's ever had and he's Mexican) and I LOVE their Tamales.

Bean Burrito enchilada style and a cheese crisp....Heaven on earth!
(5)
Rachael P.
The food is excellent! Authentic Mexican food with great flavor. My order always comes out hot and is made exactly as I order it. The beans and rice are amazing and the tortillas are very fresh. The margaritas are a classic lime flavor. They sell coke products (even coke in a bottle). This is a family-owned and operated business so you will see kids helping out or hanging out. Try the Nick special (ice cream) - you won't be disappointed!

I won't hesitate to call Casa Reynoso the best Mexican Food in Arizona. My orders are always delicious and I am a long-time customer. My favorite dishes are their tacos, bean burritos and green chile. As far as sides go, the rice and beans are outstanding. Along with their excellent food, their service is top notch. If you enjoy Mexican food, you need to give this place a try! P.S. Don't forget to order a cheese crisp!

Courtney C.
Maybe I am just spoiled with good Mexican food growing up in San Diego, but this plus is sub par at best. Flavor was lacking, food didn't seem that fresh and the salsa wasn't that great either. I really wanted to like it because it is so close to my house, but there was nothing special about it. :(
(2)
Chuck C.
Nothing really special here. Service is nice but takes a while to get your food and I wasn't really blown away. Salsa isn't really even good either. Will likely try again but I don't have high hopes.
(3)
Monica J.
The food here is OK but nothing special. The service and ambiance are very lacking. If I want authentic Mexican at a local Mom and Pop dive, I'd rather go to Espo's.

Favorite Mexican food restaurant for my family. I always order the machaca taco and side of beans. Their margaritas and salsa are wonderful. We eat there about every other week.

Mike C.
I almost gave only 3 stars just to trick people into not going to this wonderful and delicious restaurant (now that I found it, I don't want it to become so crowded I can't get in). I have often visited the Globe location, and decided to try the location on Ray Road (Chandler) since I live pretty close by. No Happy Hour :-(, but, the margaritas are absolutely delicious (although only mildly strong) and inexpensive. Like Chile Rellenos? They make the best! Enchiladas are really excellent as well. Taco's are good, but about the same as any other good Mexican restaurant. Chips are perfect, salsa was good, but a little hot (which I normally love, but this was just "very good" in my opinion). Service as a bit slow, but worth the wait!
(5)
Karen W.
Solid choice for Mexican food. The best item I've had here is the Lisa Special, a large, buttery grilled quesadilla with chicken, green chile, and cheese. The family that works here is friendly and eager to please. Service was very good!
(4)
Ryan J.
Yes, the ambiance is pretty drab and the menu is what you'd likely get at any other Mexican-American dive but it does have a somewhat unique charm and the food is pretty solid. The family that runs it has a great track record and the consistent crowds are a good testament to its place within the Phoenix culinary community.

The Best Arizona Mexican Food Around! Delicious!!! Family owned and operated!!!!

If you want to eat authentic Mexican food come to this place, the machaca plate and their refried beans are my fav! The owners are really nice, the only thing that I can complaint about is the wait time, they really need to hire a waitress.
(4)
Crystal P.
I LOVE the food here! I think that they need to probably work on turning the tv to some thing everyone would enjoy and keep it off of Roping- Not to keen on that. Also as much as I love kids there are sometimes when you don't want them running through the dining room. All in all the food is great but don't expect it to be a quiet romantic dinner :)
(5)
Chris K.
I love to support local business but CR needs some improvement. 2nd time here. Very slow service this time. Family kids help which can be good and bad. My wife got beef with her order. She can't eat beef. When we asked if it was pork they said yes. Well it was beef and now she is sick. Oh well. When they are full they can't handle the volume. Nice family but hire some help for peak times and when someone asks what is on their plate know what you are serving. We won't return.

I'm surprised to hear such negative reviews. When I used to live in Chandler, we used to walk over for lunch or dinner. The family who runs the place was always so nice. I remember enjoying everything we had. They've been around for years and years, before the Madstone/AMC went out of business. I think that says something about the restaurant.
(4)
Ryan J.
Amazing tostadas, good green chili chimis (enchiladas style with green sauce). Our favorite Mexican place. Cozy, family environment - nothing special in atmosphere if that's what you're looking for. Just good authentic food.

Sue H.
Bad! Be aware! Stay away! Horrible service! I eat at many restaurants, really don't like to give such negative reviews, but in this case....stay away! 3 of us sick after meal! I could go on and on! Went with a group of 8 and we all felt the same way :(

Best Chili Rellenos in town! Just like my dad used to make, egg battered, deep fried, crispy goodness.

Absolutely horrible. I went in to this "hole in the wall" place hoping the food would be great after reading some reviews. However, the food and service were on par with the looks of the place. The combo plate I received was too hot to touch and the food was on the verge of being burned. Once it cooled down, I tasted the burro, and it hardly had any meat in it. My combo plate was tiny for the $10 price. The Chile relleno sat in a pool of its own grease and seemed like it was fried in oil at too low a tempereature. It was inedible. We were charged extra for more chips and the soda was watered down. There were kids and babies everywhere. I understand it was supposed to have a family atmosphere, but the owner's children were crawling around the restaurant like it was their personal playground. In the end, I just felt ripped off. I won't be returning.
(1)
Kirk R.
I went back for lunch. This time around, the service was faster. While the food was decent, the owner failed to mention that for one of the items I ordered on the combo, there would be an extra charge. It was not explained very clearly on the menu. I was not happy that my combo plate, which I thought would cost me under 8 dollars ended up being 12 or 13 dollars. Oh well.

the restaurant was nearly empty at lunch time 12:30. this shouldve told me something, even though when i got there i had to go to the back of the rest. for someone to help me. i finally sat down, and ordered one taco, one chile relleno and one enchilada. let me tell you the girl brought the plate and it was so hot i think the plate had either been placed in the microwave or in the oven. the taco and the chile were deep fried and both were dripping with so much oil it was disgusting all i could taste was oil. the enchilada was really salty and the lettuce was basically a spoon full. the presentation of the plate was horrendous there was so much enchilada sauce on the plate it got into the chile relleno and the taco. the salsa i got with the chips was watery and it seemed to me it was not fresh at all, seemed more like canned. i have had many great foods at low eateries..this place charged me 15.00 for this simple plate. it was such an outrage i did not finish it nor gave a tip. i will never return nor will i recommend. this place is a disgrace to mexican food, especially labeled "home made" unless "home made" is code for crappy. taco bell cooks better.

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.
