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.

REAL MEXICAN FOOD....The only REAL mexican food I found thats not in south phoenix.....

Stopped here on Thursday lunchtime, just a fast break for just three tacos al pastor in mini size. They were okay but I felt they were bordering on too dry. Pastor is supposed to be slightly dry but these were more dry than I felt could be better. They were seasoned on the spicy side. The salsas were spicy and standard. The place seemed clean and I may go back for Saturday special half a grilled chicken and Peruvian sides for $15 or to try out more options. The only thing that kind of grossed me out was no hand soap in the restroom. I am hoping it had just ran out because everything else was really clean in the place. I do not suspect cleanliness to be a problem. At least I hope not. I hope to edit this review after I've tried more food items on a future visit.

So I stopped here on a whim because I had a craving for some Mexican food and the Federicos I tried to go to is permanently closed. I am not in the least bit disappointed and it was probably a blessing in disguise. I only had the rolled tacos combo. You tell a lot about a place by the simple stuff and these definitely some of the best I've had. The salsa deserves it's own paragraph because of it's quality. I unwittingly globbed a bunch on my rolled taco expecting it to be tame to mild... Nope. Its fuego like the bottle says, and it's delicious as hell. After my sinuses cleared and my eyes stopped watering I got a chance to notice the awesome subtle smokey taste. The consistency is good too--not too runny, not too chunky like pico de gallo. Absolutely perfect. The rolled tacos were nicely prepared. Not over fried with hard, dehydrated bits hanging out. They weren't greasy all and the garnishes including some awesome guacamole were pretty darn fresh. The rice was good. Not as savory as some of the other places I've been too but not under flavored either. The refried beans included were pretty awesome too, creamy but firm enough you could actually eat them with a utensil. Definitely will be returning! The gentleman that took my order was a hoot too. He explained to me all the options for different dishes and they were more than happy to customize orders to your liking. Maybe I can convince the office to cater from this place.

I ordered the surf n turf plate ( Steak and shrimp fajitas with refried beans,rice and tortillas) , a special not on their regular menu . Owner was super friendly and suggestive . The meal was good , well priced and made to order . If you want a spicy sauce , ask for the "Fuego" , a spicy sauce with really good flavor !! Lots of interesting options , their breakfast menu looked great as well . Wish this place served alcohol or atleast beer !!
(4)Claudine F.
Good food, very affordable. Fast friendly service. Excellent for lunch, and also have kids meals(perfect sized portions for my 6 year old!) I just wish they stayed open later most of the week. They close at 3 nearly every day, but Friday they close at 6.
(4)Gabriel S.
Got lunch here, tried the green chili super burro. Very good, especially with the red and green chili sauce they give to you on the side. Spouse tried the chicken soup, very good as well. Soup had veggies and big pieces of chicken. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Very much a hole-in-the-wall Good Food place.
(4)Ricardo L M.
Breakfast are very generous, delicious, made to order. This is definitely not your MCDonalds type of breakfast. I have been coming for the last 3 years and will continue coming.
(4)Kurt B.
Deliciousness. Stopped by on the way to the ice den and very happy we did. Super nachos with asada, super Carne asada burrito and a cheese quesadilla and all were super good. Red salsa was very good. Service was very friendly and a pleasant atmosphere. The burrito and super nachos was very good and would come back for more.
(5)Myke R.
Ate lunch here today. I'm not really impressed and not at all bothered by the food. I got a plate of steak in sauce with rice, beans and flour tortillas. The meat was a bit tough, but fairly standard for strip mall mexican food. I can't really complain. It tasted good and hit the spot.
(3)Mena C.
I've tried several gringo favorites here, and this food tastes like home-made. They also have non-gringo food like tongue and head meat. Many of the recipes are from the owner's family. Price: Average for the volume of food ($6-10/lunch) Service: The order takers have always been pleasant, and so has the people who deliver the order to your table. Taste: Everything I've tried has been AWESOME, and their red sauce is great on everything. It seems strange that it would be buried in a strip mall, but the food is definitely worth your time. The Al Pastor meat is awesome!
(4)Amit S.
Good lunch place. Everything I have had is better than average. Prices are average. Sometimes to service is slower than I would like. All in all a good value with good food.
(4)Lenin E.
Very good little Authentic Mexican Restaurant, I always get the carne asada quesadilla and its got a very good flavor, plus they also have the coca cola bottle which makes the meal that much better, the service its very quick, good and friendly, The rice is best i ever had,
(5)D Q.
Why would you go to a strip mall for Mexican food when there are 2 large chain restaurants right across the parking lot? Because the food is GREAT, that's why! Is it a simple place? Sure. Maybe 40 dishes on the menu. But the food is fresh, it is tasty (my wife is practically drinking the green chile sauce from my plate), and the people who run it are nice. What more could you want from a lunch place? :)
(4)Rob J.
I ate here when visiting with my son for a hockey tournament. The carnitas and pastor was delicious. The red salsa was hot and flavorful. Service was friendly. My only complaint was they were closed when we went back for dinner on a Saturday night. They were also closed on Sunday.
(5)Bernice U.
The machaca burrito is my favorite! It is so good and filling. Thanks Guys for making great food in our community!! My grandsons like the beAn and cheese burritos.
(5)Ervin J.
Grilled chicken burrito was very good, great amount of veggies and the chicken was very tender
(4)Joseph P.
I have been wanted to check out this spot forever... So this day for lunch I entered the restaurant to a really friendly and helpful staff. I ordered the 3 taco combo It comes with rice and beans. The salsa was pretty good it could have been a bit hotter...I rate the food as followed. Lenuga (Beef Tongue) A Barbacoa (Beef Cheek) B+ Carne Asada B Beans C+ Rice C+ My lunch crew ordered an Al Pastor torta.. I was able to try this too super great flavor... I gave it an A+ I will be back again just to get that torta again along with great prices a must stop for anyone looking for some great food.
(4)Jim W.
I've recently tried the sandwiches (tortas) and they're really good as well, fyi.
(5)Steve S.
Great carne asada burritos. The fish taco/burritos are also on point. The owner is incredibly friendly and gives personal service. The food is affordable and extremely high quality. I enjoy coming here for consistent good tasting Mexican, best in the area. Skip 'bertos and come here instead for an authentic taste.
(5)Oddly S.
We found this place down the street from our hotel. Ordered the carne asada plate x4. The service wss a bit slow which was probably due to frequent clients coming in to order. The guy at the counter was very friendly and kept everyone's attention with his conversation. The food was actually very good. The carne asada was moist and flavorful. The Mexican rice was perfect as well as the refried beans. The next time we visit Phoenix, we'll definitely stop by again. Gracias señor counter guy from Ecuador.

This is one of my very favorite places in the valley. Their food is fantastic! No one in my family has had a bad meal in the place and neither have the friends I've brought. Now, I could list all the different things I've tried but that would take a while and, well, what would be the point? Between us, we've tried just about everything. The shrimp dishes are yummy because they cook the shrimp just right, it's not overdone like so many places in the desert. The chicken is delicious and the beef and pork are really good, too. Oh, and my daughter loves the tamales. My favorite thing is the chicken chimichanga. While the place isn't five stars on the atmosphere, nobody goes there for that. They go for amazing food at bargain prices. It's just a pleasure to support a local guy starting a family, eat the great food and walk out with your wallet intact.
(5)Emma W.
Possibly the best Mexican Restaurant. Everything I have ever tried was nothing short of amazing, but I usually got the Taco Salad. Who thought salads could be so filling? Anyway, the food is authentic and they often have bottled Coca-Cola made with cane sugar which is also amazing. The prices are also great and the service is great. I always feel welcome when I'm there. Definately put this place on your list if you're looking for a new Mexican restaurant.
(5)Ceci M.
Average Mexican food prices ...Carne asada is perfectly seasoned ...beans taste like home made...rice needs some work but still tastes good ...would definitely recommend
(5)Tommy B.
Decent tacos. The flavor is great! Although the tortillas were a little dry, and the meat a little tough (had the carne). The staff were exceptionally friendly and the owner is a passionate food lover. I must say I expected a little more after reading the reviews.
(3)Rebecca M.
So yummy! Great prices and so friendly!! It is buried in a strip mall but is sooo worth your time! The food is great, a lot to chose from and great orchata!! I love coming here for lunch on my work break and now that I love further away I still make the trip. It's sooo worth it!
(5)Mark C.
I just moved near this restaurant and thought I would give it a try on my way to work. I picked up a breakfast burrito and it was pretty good and very filling. You can order it anyway you want, and they seem happy to accommodate. The owner was friendly and welcoming, and I felt that the quantity was good for the price. It is a little hole in the wall place in a strip mall, and very plain inside, but I will definitely give it another try. My only real complaint is that they are only open from 7am to 2pm, making it hard to get to them while they are open, as I don't work nearby and they are closed before I get home. Oh, and I went there at about 7:45am, and they still had not made the horchata, which was disappointing, but somehow I survived. This is definitely a mom and pop operation, and they are closed on Sunday too. So for me, I will more than likely only be able to go there on Saturdays, or before work in the morning once in a while, which will make it difficult to make it one of my go-to Mexican food places. However, I do recommend you give them a try, and I hope they are successful, as they seem like very nice people.
(3)Kelly T.
There are few places that make a great burrito. This place is one of them. It is clear that there is pride in ownership. The food is always fresh. I will be a regular Update 6/6/15 - As promised after my initial 5 star review of this place I became a regular. I am disappointed to have to reduce them to 2 stars. The quality has dropped off considerably since my first few visits, The last 2 visits resulted in a much different experience. The 'grilled chicken' has been off along with the shredded beef. Nothing like the first few visits. I may try again, but for now I am going to pass.
(2)Kim B.
Really great food and have loved eating there, but their hours are inconsistent. I called to place a to-go order 15 minutes before close and was told they were already closed due to cleaning. I will come back because I like the food, but it's quite frustrating how limited their hours are and that you can't expect them to be open when they say they are.
(3)Tyrone F.
Huuuge portion!! I went here for lunch and ordered the chimichanga. The portion was huuuuge! I put a dime in the picture for scale! I got it with shredded chicken and I loved it! My experience was good, but the plastic utensils were very small, so it was a bit difficult to eat such a large chimichanga with a tiny fork. Also, the guy who I placed my order with, didn't offer if I wanted to order a drink, and it didn't occur to me to order any, so I just wish he kind of upselled more. I would definitely recommend the restaurant! And don't forget to order a drink!
(5)Miranda F.
Came here during my lunch break! The owner (Elias I think) took my order with a smile and a couple of jokes. Really friendly guy who clearly enjoys what he does. He gave me a few recommendations on what to order. I ended up getting the chicken enchiladas, which were very tasty. The plate came with rice and beans on the side. I also ordered a small horchata which was really refreshing on a hot afternoon. My coworker had the bean and cheese burrito - simple but delicious. Behind the cash register is part of the kitchen. You can watch the "assembly line" and see your food getting prepared right in front of you. The restaurant isn't fancy but the food is great quality, authentic Mexican food. It was clean and felt welcoming. I will definitely return!!
(5)Jim R.
Stopped in here based on yelp stars, have to admit that it doesn't look like much and we almost didn't go in. The food was surprisingly fresh, cheap and good.
(4)Jimmy P.
Carne asada burrito is DELICIOUS. Non descript location in a strip mall of the 10 on chandler blvd. Staff is really friendly.
(5)Crush H.
I've been eating here for lunch a few times each month ever since they opened. These guys work hard, make a good super burrito, keep the place clean, keep the prices reasonable and have good hot sauce. The meat used is 'clean' (gristle/fat/etc free), unlike the 'F-bertos' chains and other mom-n-pop Mexican restaurants around town (one of my biggest complaints at other Mexican eateries). I've never come away ill after eating here either, something I also can't say of other similar places.
(4)Jennifer C.
The service is super friendly! The general menu items are above average, but the pozole is my favorite. My co-worker orders and loves their nachos. Their service with smiles from the guys helps bring people back.
(4)Sebastian L.
I only give one star if they hurt me. This was the worst experience I've paid for since my last airplane flight, and my worst time at a restaurant in recent memory. The prices are average for this sort of place. The food is not bad. It tends to the watery side of things. We tried a beef dish and juevos rancheros. The eggs were runny in limpid gravy, and the beef wasn't bad but had some gristle. Their homemade hot sauce is very good. The source of pain was not the food but the atmosphere. The young daughter of the guy behind the counter shrieked almost constantly the entire time we were there--a little over ten minutes waiting to get our food, and then the ten minutes it took us to wolf it down so we could escape. An acquaintance of the guy had a young boy, who also shrieked. Five people sat around a table without food and talked about upselling. I left with a headache from the shrieking and a bellyache from eating too quickly. Maybe I'll try takeout sometime--but I'll give the other Mexican places around here a shot first. To be fair, this place would be awesome if you have horrible children.
(1)Brian L.
I really like this place. They have awesome tortas. The service is great and always friendly. Pricing is good for the amount of food you get. Definitely worth stopping by if you're hungry and in the area.
(4)Melissa A.
The location in a convenient shopping center just off Chandler Blvd, but it was well lit and clean. The cashier, who I think may have been the owner, was happy to serve us and answer our questions. My husband got a super burrito, my sister a taco combination plate of carne asada, and I got a carnitas torta. There meals were lacking a bit in in flavor. The lengua needed salt badly. But my torta,(hot sandwich), was yummy. Ashamed to say, I actually ate the whole thing. All and all, I recommend at least trying El Ranchero.
