This place is fabulous. My husband was feeling sick with a head cold and wanted soup in the middle of a hot summer night. He chose "Cocido" a Mexican favorite soup. Yum yum! I am I great cook however a very busy salon owner which means I'm too busy to make him his soup. I can truly say that the way they made this soup is Very,Very Authentic. The bones which I'm sure not every bowl gets one is what makes this broth full of flavor and all the vitamins needed for my sick husband. Thank you chefs for such a pleasure This will be our new favorite spot

I was brought here by a fellow Yepler. I had to order the breakfast burrito and I went with the machaca. The cashier was super friendly and offered to let me try the machaca before I ordered it which was nice. The place was orderly and the atmosphere was cool. It was completely different from your typical "bertos" restaurant. I bellied up to the salsa bar which was well stocked with a variety of salsas and other stuff. What turned me off was the super thick layer of dust that accumulated on the top of the sneeze guard around the string of fake red chilies they were using as decoration. I could just imagine the dust falling into the salsas and chips. I usually look right past minor cleanliness issues but this was very obvious and in a bad location, right at eye level. The burrito was a good size, actually enough for two average eaters to split. The eggs were well cooked and I enjoyed them using real potatoes rather than French fries in the burrito. Pretty basic flavors for a machaca breakfast burrito. It was well done but not outstanding. I can see how the bar and nightlife would be a way to attract business in the evening. I would return but wouldn't go out of my way for basic Mexican food. All in all it was a positive experience.

This will be a 3.5 star review. A really old Carl's Jr/Green burritos building that has been converted into a Mexican paradise theme. The building in not that big but hosts ALOT of small tables and chairs for this place gets popping on weekends due to live music. The staff here is excellent it seems to be the same group working every time I have came here so you know consistansy with food recipes and service will always be good. 5/5 Atmosphere is pretty cool here, they have a bar up front and a small bar in back for the weekends. The beach motique actually works here. They also have a medium size patio with misters for a pleasant smoke and drink 4/5 Food is where it gets great! I have had multiple things here over the years and haven't been disappointed. The red chili burrito is huge and delicious! I'm 6'5 230 pounds and the burrito is like my hand + some!! Also have great breakfast burritos and green chili.. Come on weekends for live music and festive drinking for every weekend is Cinco De Mayo at Mixteca ...

Breakfast over at 11. I ordered the chimi lunch special. I liked it! The salsa bar is plentiful and tasty. I liked them on the chips and chimis. Cheap. I paid like $6 for the chimi special (no drink though). Would probably come again. Better than Brush fire Tacos on thunderbird.

This place is pretty good. The burro I got was huge and the beans tasted fresh and homemade. The rice was pretty good as well. They also conveniently give you free chips if you dine in. The only bad thing was one of the people I was with ordered tacos and asked for one with carne asada in it but didn't get it. Other then that, it was delicious!

First of all, staff is obnoxious - cashier was nice but the lady calling the numbers and expediting the food was RUDE. Atmosphere is loud and chaotic; however, it was a Friday night. I had 3 item combo and not impressed with my food. My son had a carne asada burrito- the meat was bland and chewy-it was not edible- he took 2 notes and we threw it away. Because it was chaotic- I decided not complain but just ordered a bean and cheese burrito- it took well over 15min to get it. My daughter had a 2 item combo-enchilada and taco- she liked it. I would give the food a 2.5 and service and atmosphere 1

The food is great but DO NOT go through the drive thru if you are in a hurry or don't have time to catch up on your reading. Average time on Friday or Saturday evening is at least 20-30 minutes. Most people turn off their engine and sit. Go inside if you can find parking.

I got the Carne Asada street tacos and my father got the mini-chimis. The chips and salsa was great and the food we ordered was so fresh and delicious! I'll be back again for sure!

The food has always been amazing since before they moved to this location and it continues to satisfy! Made fresh to order, the only downside is the wait time through the drive thru.

Went to this restaurant on Cinco de Mayo, hoping to get some decent Mexican Food for lunch. Upon arrival and walking thru the front day I quickly became concern with the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. Once we ordered we got chips and Salsa.... (Chip and salsa bar was not well taken care of and the chip holder had very little chips in it and chips and salsa were all over front counter and floor. I could expect this if the place was slammed how ever it was minutes before noon and they were only a 1/4 full. I ordered a carne asada burrito and I was very disappointed. The burrito was basically beans and very little meat. Not what anyone should expect from a carne asada burrito in Arizona. My daughter ordered a taco and the grease was repulsive! We eat and left and the rest of the day was alla bout trying to digest awful food! Never again!

Lives up to the Phoenician reputation for bomb-diggity Mexican drive thru's. Breakfast burros that give you that "Ima be full all day, guey" feeling... on the cheap. Ya know. Yumm!

I love street tacos. They are so yummy. This was the first place I tried them at. My guy told me to order mine on corn tortillas instead of flour and I'm glad I listened. We went through the drive thru and they were not very fast but I didn't mind because I wanted my food to be fresh. The employee at the window was polite. The tacos seemed a little pricey for how small they were but I am addicted so I most likely will be back!

I went through the drive through for a breakfast burrito. They were pretty busy so it took about 15 minutes to get my food. It seemed a bit long, but I can handle it. After driving home, I realized I had been given a completely wrong burrito and chose to drive back to get my order corrected. As I waited at the register to talk to someone, SEVEN separate times, workers walked past the register, made eye contact with me, and continued with whatever they were doing. I get if you're busy and in the middle of something, but at least acknowledge you know I'm there and will be with me shortly. Having worked in a drive thru location before, I understand that entirely. Finally someone greeted me at the register and without making eye contact with me, she asked what she could help me with. I informed her I got the incorrect order and finally she looked up at me. The individual who got my order on accident was actually behind me and gave his back to her as well. Within 5 minutes, he received his correct order and left. I was still waiting there for my order, just watching the kitchen to see if they were even making mine. Fifteen minutes go by and finally the manager, I assume, asked me what I was waiting for and ended up making my food for me. Needless to say, I won't be coming back due to their blatant act of ignoring people because it was inconvenient to them at the time. To be genuinely honest, I felt I was treated differently because I wasn't of their ethnicity. That sucks, because I don't care about that. But to see them talk to other customers with eye contact and have more of a sense of urgency when they're the same ethnicity, and then not see it done with yourself...it's difficult not to think that it's due to your skin color. Too bad, because the breakfast burritos are great and I love them. But I won't be going back to an establishment who seems to treat individuals differently. Thank you to the manager who actually recognized I was waiting for a while.

No idea how Mixteca doesn't have 5/5 stars across the board. I've lived in the Southwest United States my whole life, I know everything from cheap taco trucks to 5 star gourmet Mexican food and I will say, Mixteca is right up there in the top few Mexican Restaurants I've ever been to. The food is absolutely fabulous. It is the very definition of home made. It tastes as though it was made in some one's home kitchen, some one with a lot of culinary skill. The Enchilada Plate, Chile Rellenos and the "Mixteca Wrap" are definitely my all time favorites. The service is phenomenal, top notch, couldn't be any better. The owner is often in there busting his ass in the kitchen and even taking people their orders or helping however he can, he's very hands on and seems very friendly to his staff, which goes to explain why they themselves are so incredibly friendly and cook such amazing food. On Saturday nights they hose a huge classic car show in the K-mart parking lot that they share. What better than live music, cool old cars and the best Mexican food in Phoenix? If there was a 6th star, I would give it to Mixteca.

Ben R.
Not a good experience. Ordered at the counter and the guy who took my order was rude and not helpful. Then I waited 20 minutes for my food and was really disappointed with it. We had a carne asada burrito combo plate and an a la carte chile relleno. Everything was lacking flavor and I would highly recommend going somewhere else for fast Mexican food.

Mixteca is a cool little Mexican shop in the Glendale area. On Friday and Saturday nights they have a car show in the parking lot and music, sometimes even bands out there. It's really cool. As for the actual food here, I've only ordered breakfast burritos which are the bomb. Literally speaking, they can be a gut bomb but that not is always a bad thing. I recently ordered a bacon, cheese, egg, potato burrito and it was excellent, just really hard to finish, so think about sharing? I have had better breakfast burritos in my life, but I've had a lot worse, and this one is was far from the worse. I wish I could give a half star here to make it 3 1/2 stars for the carswhows at least! Anyways this is a good local hangout with decent food.

Jamie A.
I don't understand how anyone would consider this place decent. We should've left immediately after seeing the filthy condition the place was in, but stayed because we were desperate to find a decent Mexican restaurant and sometimes looks can be deceiving. After ordering our food we waited for our number to be called but apparently our ticket got looked over because we noticed about 10 people who ordered after us were already eating their meals. Overall, the food was extremely bland and had no flavor whatsoever. I wish I read the reviews before coming here, a lot of them are frightening. At least the meat we received wasn't rotten.. Definitely not going to take any further risks with this place. Guess we'll have to keep looking.

My wife and I stopped by on the way home for lunch today. I ordered the carne asada burrito, which I've had before and thought was great. My wife ordered the beef torta. We got home and ate. The burrito tasted great. My wife ate half her torta and though it was decent. She saved the other half to eat later. While eating the other half of her torta, she felt something strange after the bite she took. She took out the food and opened up the torta to find the sticker on the tomato slices still stuck on there, (I'll upload the picture). I don't think we will be by again. It's unfortunate, because I thought their burritos were pretty good.

LOVE MIXTECA!!! We live very close to here and eat here regularly!! The food is authentic and great!! Both breakfast and lunch are well worth the wait. The staff is friendly and the owner is very involved in the restaurant! Only downfall is that the drive through is incredibly slow...much faster to go in. :)

Really enjoy the outside seating area and most of all the live music on the weekend paired with the car show out in the parking lot. Prices are good and you have a self serve chips and salsa bar where you can really get filled up on. I had the chicken fajitas which were good not excellent but, the price made them well worth it.

If you like typical Mexican food, I don't see how you wouldn't be able to like this place. The food is great (again, TYPICAL Mexican food, here), but what makes this place even better is that it has beautiful outdoor seating where you can eat. It really made it a nice experience. Furthermore, they have a nice bar that goes both indoor and outdoor. It's very welcoming. Supposedly, they also have live music on some weekends. The place, really, is worth going to and trying out.

Good Food, Small Place for Large Groups : this place is ok.. The Guy at Register was very Friendly :: DO NOT pick This place during LUNCH Rush or you May Have to SIT outside on Patio.. The Food was good.. a few of my Friends from Church liked the Place.. Restroom is ADA Compliant, but The sinks should be Upgrade to auto wash.. Dining area are Metal & some Chairs may not be "Fluffy Friendly" so "big" people have issues if they Try a booth.. The Place is alil bit on Small side so Large Crowds may not Fit during Busy time.. The Foutain has 2 Teas & is Coke w 10 Varieties, NO Cherry.. Like all Fast food you Have to Get your Order when its Called.. The good thing is the Salsa Bar for your Chips..

Mexteca, while not known for their breakfast menu, has quite the selection of breakfast burritos and other breakfast items including pancakes with eggs and bacon. I opted to go with the pancakes meal, having had a breakfast burrito the day before. I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The eggs were delicious and the bacon was even better. The pancakes themselves were okay hence the three star rating. The staff was friendly and the dining area was clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend Mexteca, but I would suggest sticking with the breakfast burritos in the morning. Enjoy!

My family and I have eaten at this place a lot. It's usually pretty decent. But tonight our shredded beef tacos were literally sour. I thought it was just my taste buds so I tried to keep eating it. Then I realized the meat smelled putrid and had gone completely rotten. We called the manager, wasn't super helpful. Won't be going back.

I don't know if I am lucky or unfortunate to live so close to this Mixteca. You see, the food is just so good and cheap that it us difficult to use any self restraint. The ambiance is unique and there are regular patio events that look fun too. Prices are on par with any valley berto's shop. Place your order, grab some chips and salsa from the bar and take a seat. Food is typically served quickly, but I have been in there when there was a crowd and wait times can increase. Worth it though, because the food is plentiful and superior to other area taco shops.

I have yet to find a decent little Mexican food joint in the area. Sometimes you just want awesome neighborhood Mexican take out. This is not the spot. I've been here many times because of convenience and today I promised myself I wouldn't go back. Bland food, rolled tacos were soggy in the middle, regular tacos and even the salsa just are not flavorful. You'd expect more in AZ. I wish there was one of those Berto cousins close by..

This is a nice casual mexican fast food/dine in restaurant. When you first walk in theres a counter to place your order, your then given an order number and seat yourself. We came here on a thursday night and to my surprise they were pretty busy, with a live band outside( descent music) the other diners seemed to be having a good time which is an automatic bonus, people by nature thrive on other people's vibes. One of my favorite things here is they have a self serve chip and salsa bar that was well maintained visually and for the most part seems cleanly, the salsa is really good and taste very fresh they also have toppings like onions, pico, lemons, cilantro and cucumbers all fresh! Which I applaud.. we munched on the unlimited chips and salsa for awhile the wait was a little longer then I would have expected, but I was in no hurry and was just enjoying the company of my family. We eventually got our food I split a combo meal with my partner that came with a taco, tostada, tamale, and rice and beans. And ordered a kids hamburger with fries for the kids. This place has very large portions so its cost effective for the family 16.98 $ fed my family of four and we were pleasantly stuffed. And im a gal that can put it down im by no means a rabbit. So when I say large portions I do mean it. The only thing I could suggest for the restaurant is the rice is very disappointing to me and bland, im a pretty hard critic when it comes to spanish rice, because I make a killer Spanish rice I grew up on. The other thing I wasnt to pleased with , I did not like the fact that a few of the staff were chasing eachother around the restaurant and one almost ran my 6 year old daughter over. There is a time and place for rough play and on the clock should not be one of those times. Overall opinion is pretty tasty and affordable. . I will most definitely come back for the food .

Gina N.
Great Mexican food. Probably the best spot in North Glendale . The enchiladas are my favorite. The patio area is nice. We enjoy the chips and salsa bar, excellent salsa! It is a fun place to hang out with the family and friends for an inexpensive dinner. Oh! The special margaritas are made with Patron. Can't go wrong with Patron and they are pretty inexpensive for top shelf . TIP: local car owners display their cars in the adjacent parking lit on Fri night. Kinda cool to go walk and look at the cars. Safe, family friendly spot

This place has something for everyone, while not a sit down restaurant , the food is super delicious and authentic. Coming from out of state it took us a while to find our kinda Mexican food, this place has it from shredded beef and street tacos to shrimp burritos and the red sauce for the enchiladas they do it all perfectly. Try the Mixteca omlette for breakfast only if your really hungry and live music , full waitress service and relaxing ambience and cold beer on the patio perfect to relax after long week on fri- Sunday nights.

Decoration are very dusty. Bathroom was not very clean. After waiting for 1 hr for menudo, finally had enough of waiting. Went to ask what was taking so long. Informed that "menudo was not ready". Checked their health department grade and they got a "c". Will not be eating that menudo after all.

This place is a gem! The food is excellent. I would challenge you to find a better shredded beef taco anywhere in the valley!

Very Slow. The first time I visited, I went through the drive thru. There were a couple of cars ahead of me, and it took a while before I got to the speaker to order. Then a while longer before I got to the window. Then longer still before I got my food. Over 20 minutes but the food was pretty good. The second time, I decided to go inside and get my order to go. This was a mistake. The line was not moving very fast to take the orders, but the worst part was waiting for the food. Someone would put an item in a tray on the counter and then go work on some other order. After a while, someone would put something else in the tray, and so on. The result was over 30 minutes from the time I placed my order until I received it, and most of it was soggy and falling apart and cold. Luke warm would be a generous description. To be fair, the beans were hot. The food is basically the same as the 'bertos around town, but I won't be back due to the wait.

My husband and I were in search for good Mexican food, we ordered combination of taco, tamale and tostada and a Fajita for me. since v r vegetarian he substituted enchilada in place of tamale. Omg! That was the most horrible Enchilada v ever had. The cheese was gross and so sticky like bubblegum...eeeksssss.. I couldn't even choke it down. They offer free chips for Dine in and they taste weird the salsa was not flavorful. Needless to say, i am never going ther again.

Have been coming here for a few years now and WOW how much work they have done to improve the restaurant! The patio looks amazing!! The food has always been amazing too! I always get the combo and shrimp cocktail and it never lets me down!! You get your chips and salsa after you order and they have a variety of salsa to choose from! I have so many good things to say about the restaurant that my review could keep going! AND they have a drive though!!

Lacey E.
It was extremely noisy and congested inside and in line for the register. But we got our food fast and it was great! Getting to-go boxes was a bit of hassle because we had to go back to the counter for them, and as mentioned, it was a bit crazy in there. The person who got the to-go lids for me was a little rude but he was busy and I didn't take it personally. This place seemed very popular! It wasn't the best that we had two babies (because of how crowded it was) but it was good and we'll go again.

Breakfast burrito for the second day in a row. They are great!!!!! I have been to Mixteca before this is my first review for it. I hate to beat a dead horse but I need a half star. Burrito was great but no better than the one I had yesterday at big burrito. The only difference was the ambiance is much nicer at Mixteca although the salsa isn't nearly as good. If big burrito was a nicer location I would rate it higher than Mixteca and vice versa if the food were better at Mixteca I would rate it higher. So as far as breakfast burros go it's a tie.

If you like good drinks, beer and great food this is the place to visit on Saturday nights. Remember it is no frills and the food comes on paper plates. Live entertainment on the patio which seems to start out Meh but gets better with every beer LOL. Before or after eating you can visit the car show in the parking lot - usually a few hundred cars (Saturday night)

Sandee S.
Absolutely delicious! We happened to be in the area for an appt and decided to stop. The staff was so helpful and friendly and my carne asada chimichanga was heavenly. They have a chips and salsa bar which is a big hit. We will definitely be back.

I have two favorite things about Mixteca..oh make that three. 1) Breakfast burritos. I think their breakfast burritos are the best and I've tried a lot. 2) Salsa bar! 3) Drive through - because sometimes you don't feel like getting out of the car. :-) I pretty much only get the breakfast burritos and chips & salsa. Everyone I've shared Mixteca with seems to like it too.

This place is awesome! Salsa bar, beer, margaritas and authentic tasty Mexican food. This place has the best ceviche tostadas. EVER. Hand down. The machaca burritos are amazing too. The carne asada tacos are just ok. Not taco truck status, but still yummy. The guac kind of ruined it for me.

Christy C.
I've eaten here twice now, once for breakfast and once for dinner. The food here is just okay, in my opinion. It is good for when I'm in a crunch and craving Mexican food and need a quick, convenient spot to chow down at. However, there are definitely way better Mexican dining options out there. I had the chorizo, egg, and papa breakfast burrito most recently when I visited here. It is huge! Definitely big enough to split between two people, and good portion size for the price.

Cynthia Q.
They charge more at the registers than on the menu. If a taco is $2.75 ea. then at the registers they will charge an extra $.85 and lie through their teeth or hopefully you are too drunk to notice and say the taco costs $3.60 plus tax not the menu prices you see up on the board or on the paper menus. A combo will cost up to $2.75 more at the registers, again they will deceive you with BS. They've been doing this on and off between summer and spring for the past four years yet nobody notices the price differential on the board or paper menus and the registers. They still have SLEAZY waitresses not servers who encourage patrons to buy more drinks. I believe they have sex in the bathrooms during open mic nights, I saw a condom on the floor. Several years ago I remembered when they started out on 43rd Ave and north of Dunlap Ave they did the same thing, and neither the city, county, nor state did nothing. This reminded me of another restaurant in Glendale who are still operating there after so many years. Where is the common decency?!

Taric W.
Carne asada is alright, but you've gotta put more effort into your food than handfuls of shredded cheese on most menu items. On my second visit, I opted for the green chile burrito...the tortilla was nothing special, and the chile was bland. You call THAT a green sauce? As the green, gravy like mixture spilled everywhere, I tried to enjoy it with some tortilla chips. Their chips aren't anything special either. I like the salsa bar and the atmosphere, but when it comes to a quick Mexican dining experience, I know you can do tons better. I don't hate this place, but the bar is set higher in the desert.
(2)
Jonathan W.
Very fresh and delicious food. I would recommend the Carne Asada burrito and the street tacos. I occasionally get the Carnitas in the tacos but it has been hit or miss lately. The salsa they include with the meal is fantastic. My wife loves the bean and cheese burritos. Pro-tip: If you are going through the drive thru bring a book, iPad or gaming device. It is going to be a while but it's worth the wait.

Mixteca is my go-to spot for Mexican fast food. It's primarily Sonoran and Baja fare. All the staples are very good but a few standard orders are the Torta Cubana, Carne Asada/Green Chile/Machaca burritos and shredded beef tacos. This place isn't going to blow your mind with anything new but as far as Valley Mexican fast food chains go, this is one of the better options.

This place is a Dump and so dirty start out with the chips everybody hands on the chips and kids diging in with hands :P that little scooper just doesnt cut it ..The owner or lady who works their she starts with picking up the big dirty matt on floor by ice tea drink also dirty rag sitting on side of ice tea drinks and coke machines then with her bare hands she goes to ice tea tanks and puts them in placer then goes and washes down tables with dirty water then comes back put in napkins in holder and then messes with sauce cups and lids for drinks all from the start of that matt on floor she did not wash her hands. The Food was ok nothing i would write home abt .. I dont care how cheap the food is .. wold not go back their again .

Eat here! I ordered the street tacos and they were authentic...I could actually envision getting the same plate somewhere in Mexico. It was delicious and cheap! The ingredients seemed fresh. The serving was plentiful! The service was fast and friendly. They were busy the entire time I was there and all the other customers seemed happy. There is a patio and it looks like they could host a pretty fun event out there, if needed. There are a couple of tvs so you can watch your favorite sporting event as well. Keep it up, Mixteca! I'll be seeing you again on my next trip back to Phoenix.

Tricia J.
I only gave it 3 stars. We live right by Mexteca so a lot of times it's our go-to place for Mexican food. Lately we've been disappointed. I always order street tacos and they don't seem as fresh as they used to be. My husband gets the Mexican pizza and he can say the same. The breakfast burritos seem like they've been pre made and warmed up...they used to be much fresher. This place isn't as busy as other competitors near by like Carambas, yet the wait to get your food is really long. The workers also don't seem as friendly anymore. I don't know if something has changed with management or if my husband and I are just tried of eating here. Prices are decent and decor inside is nice! Just not the best food anymore.

CJ C.
STELLAR! They even have healthy options. Had a steak burrito on a whole wheat tortilla. Totally loaded with veggies and steak. I love the salsa bar, in my opinion if the chips and salsa suck I will pass on everything else. Looking forward to a return visit soon. Stoked on what they are doing on the patio.

This place is so legit! Where to even start... Umm top 3 best carne asada burritos I have had. My fave used to be Carolinas... not anymore. Owner is almost always there and is nice as can be. Awesome coronaritas. Super casual grab your own drinks and chips inside.. if you want a server on the weekends outside you can get that too. Their ala carte tacos are bomb... as well as their wraps! love love love this place! be ware on Friday and Saturday they are busy busy busy with the car show that is going on at night..but don't stray its a ton of fun!

Good stuff here... I had a carne asada which tasted charred and had great flavor. Angie had a bean and cheese burrito, enchilada style... her favorite. Served with some chips and Salas and even a beer if you wish. Def a favorite fast food Mex place.

So Mixteca was recommended to my wife from a co-worker. She described it as a neighborhood local go to place with really good food. We went and I agree, the food was delicious and large portions. Hope to visit again, maybe after a Cardinals game.

This is a good place to get a cheap meal. The food is nothing to write home about but it wasn't bad either and CHEAP! I liked the fun atmosphere.

Good, cheap Mexcian food covered in gooey cheese. Yum. Nothing fancy but HUGE menu to choose from. Also burgers with amazing fries for the non-adventurous children in our family. Only issue is the soda machine only works 1/2 the time. Personal favorite- Chile Relleno and cheese enchilada combo.

Mixteca was OK. Kind of a cross between Baja Fresh and Robertos. The quesadilla was decent and the beef tacos were good also, just nothing spectacular. I would go up the street to "Carumbas" for something better. Doesn't accept AMEX:(

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The machaca plate is awesome! Gets busy on Sundays but so worth it. Great for dinner too. Lots of options on the menu and everything is cheap. Huge portions we always end up taking leftovers home. Get the watermelon or limeade drink too, you'll thank me.

I have had many meals here over many years and have always been very pleased with everything. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone desiring good Mexican style food. Thank you Mixteca for your efforts and the great job you do.

Never coming here before, I was surprised that this place is basically like a fast food Mexican restaurant. It even has a drive thru. But lots of people have told me how good it was so I tried it anyway. I ordered their street taco special which is basically like two small carne or pollo asada tacos with beans and rice for $5.50. It was a great deal and really filling for the price! There are bottomless chips for dine in customers although the chips were slightly stale because they were sitting out for people to refill themselves. They had a salsa/condiment bar and I sampled all the different kinds they offered. They were all fresh and tasty! Overall, great quick spot for Mexican food in the area. Definitely will be back soon!

The best carne asada burrito ever! The tamales "enchilada style" melt in your mouth. So good and such quality!

No pretense, but the very best cheese enchiladas in the valley! I have been a patron for years now, eaten in all the old locations. The food remains the same, great!! Red beef burrito are huge and filled with tender meat and a wonderful sauce. Salsa bar, try the pickeled cucumbers. A family favorite. Prices are reasonable. Huge bowls of albondigas soup or just beef and chunks of vegetables, delicious.

Dear Mixteca, How I love thee. Our relationship started so long ago when I was only 16, and you were located on 43rd and Olive. How far we have come since my lovely high school days. I am proud to see that you have decided to move closer to me, sweetheart. I am happy that we can now share the delicious treats that you provide. Oh how I love your seasoned beef; I crave no other than your lusciousness...your salsa sure does spice up our nights. I couldn't be happier of the cheapness of our dates...AMAZING. Thank you so much for giving me the flavor and freshness that I crave in my life. I know our relationship will continue to go on strong. Love Always, Rebecca

Francisco S.
Just OK. The staff was not friendly at all. The Carne Asada does have flavor, but they drown the chile relleno in sauce & cheese when you get the combo plate. I've never had a chile relleno with sauce. I couldn't even taste the chile with all that goo on it. If a Mexican place does not have great beans, it shows that they do not take pride in their food. Mixteca's beans were blah! The salsa bar was a mess when we got there, and the bar lacks flare.

Fun Saturday night music venue with good food & beer for only a few $. The music is fun and tunes everyone knows. The 1$ carne asada tacos are straightforward; meat, cilantro, onion, grilled jalepeño - delicious! Saw some lucious burgers being served. Will have to try one next time. Will definitely be back! As with any outside venue, as a non-smoking asthmatic I appreciate adherence to the 50ft from door rule. I'm sure other non-poluters would appreciate as well. As seems to be the norm, smokers only care about smoking. I can appreciate that its an addiction, but think of others occasionally please.

They never let you down! The bacon, egg, and potato breakfast burrito is an eye opener... Which helps in the morning. Carne Asada burrito it hands down awesomeness in a tortilla! However, my favorite plate is (drum roll) the Chicken Chimi!!!!! Epic deliciousness, golden fried... Same color as the streets in heaven. We will never stop coming here... God bless you Mexteca!

the wait was long, but that means the food was cooked fresh. it was not bad. a decent burrito. something cheesy, greasy and hot was also ordered. decent food, service was okay.

My taco tasted just like KFC. Mixteca somehow found out the Colonel's secret recipe and put it on the taco meat. While it may actually sound kind of good, no, it wasn't. The food wasn't very good overall, it was maybe good in the bland 'bertos-esque way that some people seem to like. The food just wasn't cheap enough to explain away the bland and terrible taste of it. For the two of us it was barely under $20 and we didn't even each get our own drink. The highlight of the meal was the drink we shared. We got a canteloupe/watermelon drink that was off the chain. Saved themselves from a 1 star review with that gem. It was crowded and not friendly.

Picked up a beef fajita burrito at the drive thru. Long strips of "meat" that was mostly connective tissue and completely unchewable. I've never had beef fajitas like this, very disappointed.

Found a new place for street tacos! I drive past this place quite a bit and I always wanted to stop in... Well I did and it was great! Street Taco Special was $3.99 (03-01-10) Two tacos with two flour tortillas each, lots of meat and topped with cilantro and onions. Plus the rice and beans. Great deal and a perfect dinner! Reminds me of Rocky Point! Beers are pricey.. $4 but the cheap food made up for that!

I want to give more stars and really like this place. Service was ok, carne asada tacos pretty good. Price is cheap. They have beer. Nice layout and good location. All great things but................The place is filthy. If you can't or won't maintain the dining room and bathrooms then just imagine the kitchen. We didn't catch them on a bad day either. What a shame.

I always find it reassuring when I pull up to a Mexican restaurant that there's a bunch of landscaping trucks parked and the guys are inside eating lunch :) I thought Mixteca did a pretty good job with my carne asada tacos, rice and beans were not a complete afterthought, decent chips and salsa bar. The staff was friendly (they actually SMILED). I was about to get a little p.o.'d when my taco platter and small Diet Coke was more than nine dollars but rest assured the portions are by no means skimpy. The decor was typical fresh-Mex beach type, I could certainly see myself enjoying a cerveza on the large patio when the sub-100 degree days resume!

Stopped in for a business breakfast. I had the Chilaquiles with scrambled eggs. It was great. It's not really on my side of town but I'd really like to go back and try some other dishes. Hefty portions at great prices. All four of us ate well for under $40 including drinks.

This place was messy and loud. The food really wasn't great and the salsa bar looked like a three year old put it together. Overall the only plus was the tortilla chips that were free before the food. I will not be back unless one of my friends pays for me

I went through the drive through and ordered 1 burrito and chips and salsa. Got home and realized I didnt have my burrito. I didnt have enough time to go back and come back home again, so I got ready for work, and then went back on my way to work. It had now been about 45 minutes since I was at the drive-thru. I walked inside this time, and explained what had happened. The girl didnt' seem to care. She grabbed a burrito that had been sitting in the corner by the drive thru for this whole time apparently. I was hoping for a fresh burrito to take to work, not an old one that had been sitting out. She said they could charge me for a new burrito. I said no thank you I will just take my money back for the one I never got. She did give it back but dropped my money on the counter with a little attitute. I guess it was my fault they forgot to put my burrito in the bag? Went across the street to Carambas to pick up lunch instead. Love Carambas!

Fried, greasy, stomache-ache inducing food here and I gave it two tries. Even applies for breakfast too, especially if you go for the Chiliaquiles. Salsa bar is a letdown because each salsa is represented twice, so it looks like more options than there really are.

It's hard to go wrong at Mixteca. At first glance it may seem pricey, but the value is in the large portions and fresh ingredients. Try the breakfast burrito! Kudos to the friendly staff!

The food here is pretty authentic and portions are way large. Prices justified. It's best to go after 1:30 on the weekends when the lunch crowd thins a bit. You can get Tex-Mex faves like chimichangas, or carne asada soft tacos. Overall it's worth the price. I agree it's great to dine outside when temp is below 100.

Mixteca is my favorite fast food Mexican joint. I usually go here for breakfast and the inside is really nice and it doesn't have an odor like most Filberto's or Rolbertos or Berthabertos, ha ha. Anyway, I usually get the chorizo plate or chiquilitas plate or breakfast burrito. The food is always so tasty and the chorizo is never runny, the beans are creamy and the flour tortillas are pretty good too but not homemade. The food always comes out in a ceramic dinner plate, not some paper plate and the chips and salsa are to die for. The hot sauce has a hint of garlic and cilantro (my mouth is watering just describing it). They have really cool melon and watermelon drinks that my kids love. My wife always gets a egg, cheese, & pico burrito. I have not been here yet for dinner but I am sure it is just as good as the breakfast, you can tell the owners put there heart in this place because it really shows.

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.

This place is fabulous. My husband was feeling sick with a head cold and wanted soup in the middle of a hot summer night. He chose "Cocido" a Mexican favorite soup. Yum yum! I am I great cook however a very busy salon owner which means I'm too busy to make him his soup. I can truly say that the way they made this soup is Very,Very Authentic. The bones which I'm sure not every bowl gets one is what makes this broth full of flavor and all the vitamins needed for my sick husband. Thank you chefs for such a pleasure This will be our new favorite spot

I was brought here by a fellow Yepler. I had to order the breakfast burrito and I went with the machaca. The cashier was super friendly and offered to let me try the machaca before I ordered it which was nice. The place was orderly and the atmosphere was cool. It was completely different from your typical "bertos" restaurant. I bellied up to the salsa bar which was well stocked with a variety of salsas and other stuff. What turned me off was the super thick layer of dust that accumulated on the top of the sneeze guard around the string of fake red chilies they were using as decoration. I could just imagine the dust falling into the salsas and chips. I usually look right past minor cleanliness issues but this was very obvious and in a bad location, right at eye level. The burrito was a good size, actually enough for two average eaters to split. The eggs were well cooked and I enjoyed them using real potatoes rather than French fries in the burrito. Pretty basic flavors for a machaca breakfast burrito. It was well done but not outstanding. I can see how the bar and nightlife would be a way to attract business in the evening. I would return but wouldn't go out of my way for basic Mexican food. All in all it was a positive experience.

This will be a 3.5 star review. A really old Carl's Jr/Green burritos building that has been converted into a Mexican paradise theme. The building in not that big but hosts ALOT of small tables and chairs for this place gets popping on weekends due to live music. The staff here is excellent it seems to be the same group working every time I have came here so you know consistansy with food recipes and service will always be good. 5/5 Atmosphere is pretty cool here, they have a bar up front and a small bar in back for the weekends. The beach motique actually works here. They also have a medium size patio with misters for a pleasant smoke and drink 4/5 Food is where it gets great! I have had multiple things here over the years and haven't been disappointed. The red chili burrito is huge and delicious! I'm 6'5 230 pounds and the burrito is like my hand + some!! Also have great breakfast burritos and green chili.. Come on weekends for live music and festive drinking for every weekend is Cinco De Mayo at Mixteca ...
(4)Amanda A.
Breakfast over at 11. I ordered the chimi lunch special. I liked it! The salsa bar is plentiful and tasty. I liked them on the chips and chimis. Cheap. I paid like $6 for the chimi special (no drink though). Would probably come again. Better than Brush fire Tacos on thunderbird.
(4)Jacob B.
This place is pretty good. The burro I got was huge and the beans tasted fresh and homemade. The rice was pretty good as well. They also conveniently give you free chips if you dine in. The only bad thing was one of the people I was with ordered tacos and asked for one with carne asada in it but didn't get it. Other then that, it was delicious!
(4)Eleshia T.
First of all, staff is obnoxious - cashier was nice but the lady calling the numbers and expediting the food was RUDE. Atmosphere is loud and chaotic; however, it was a Friday night. I had 3 item combo and not impressed with my food. My son had a carne asada burrito- the meat was bland and chewy-it was not edible- he took 2 notes and we threw it away. Because it was chaotic- I decided not complain but just ordered a bean and cheese burrito- it took well over 15min to get it. My daughter had a 2 item combo-enchilada and taco- she liked it. I would give the food a 2.5 and service and atmosphere 1
(2)Susan S.
The food is great but DO NOT go through the drive thru if you are in a hurry or don't have time to catch up on your reading. Average time on Friday or Saturday evening is at least 20-30 minutes. Most people turn off their engine and sit. Go inside if you can find parking.
(3)Michelle F.
I got the Carne Asada street tacos and my father got the mini-chimis. The chips and salsa was great and the food we ordered was so fresh and delicious! I'll be back again for sure!
(5)Philip D.
The food has always been amazing since before they moved to this location and it continues to satisfy! Made fresh to order, the only downside is the wait time through the drive thru.
(4)Keith S.
Went to this restaurant on Cinco de Mayo, hoping to get some decent Mexican Food for lunch. Upon arrival and walking thru the front day I quickly became concern with the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. Once we ordered we got chips and Salsa.... (Chip and salsa bar was not well taken care of and the chip holder had very little chips in it and chips and salsa were all over front counter and floor. I could expect this if the place was slammed how ever it was minutes before noon and they were only a 1/4 full. I ordered a carne asada burrito and I was very disappointed. The burrito was basically beans and very little meat. Not what anyone should expect from a carne asada burrito in Arizona. My daughter ordered a taco and the grease was repulsive! We eat and left and the rest of the day was alla bout trying to digest awful food! Never again!
(1)Kiri B.
Lives up to the Phoenician reputation for bomb-diggity Mexican drive thru's. Breakfast burros that give you that "Ima be full all day, guey" feeling... on the cheap. Ya know. Yumm!
(5)Randy C.
We brought a friend here who was visiting from California. She loved it. This place is our go to place for Mexican food. We have been coming here for over 10 years, and you know what? It keeps getting better!
(5)Mariah L.
I love street tacos. They are so yummy. This was the first place I tried them at. My guy told me to order mine on corn tortillas instead of flour and I'm glad I listened. We went through the drive thru and they were not very fast but I didn't mind because I wanted my food to be fresh. The employee at the window was polite. The tacos seemed a little pricey for how small they were but I am addicted so I most likely will be back!
(3)Jenna W.
I went through the drive through for a breakfast burrito. They were pretty busy so it took about 15 minutes to get my food. It seemed a bit long, but I can handle it. After driving home, I realized I had been given a completely wrong burrito and chose to drive back to get my order corrected. As I waited at the register to talk to someone, SEVEN separate times, workers walked past the register, made eye contact with me, and continued with whatever they were doing. I get if you're busy and in the middle of something, but at least acknowledge you know I'm there and will be with me shortly. Having worked in a drive thru location before, I understand that entirely. Finally someone greeted me at the register and without making eye contact with me, she asked what she could help me with. I informed her I got the incorrect order and finally she looked up at me. The individual who got my order on accident was actually behind me and gave his back to her as well. Within 5 minutes, he received his correct order and left. I was still waiting there for my order, just watching the kitchen to see if they were even making mine. Fifteen minutes go by and finally the manager, I assume, asked me what I was waiting for and ended up making my food for me. Needless to say, I won't be coming back due to their blatant act of ignoring people because it was inconvenient to them at the time. To be genuinely honest, I felt I was treated differently because I wasn't of their ethnicity. That sucks, because I don't care about that. But to see them talk to other customers with eye contact and have more of a sense of urgency when they're the same ethnicity, and then not see it done with yourself...it's difficult not to think that it's due to your skin color. Too bad, because the breakfast burritos are great and I love them. But I won't be going back to an establishment who seems to treat individuals differently. Thank you to the manager who actually recognized I was waiting for a while.

No idea how Mixteca doesn't have 5/5 stars across the board. I've lived in the Southwest United States my whole life, I know everything from cheap taco trucks to 5 star gourmet Mexican food and I will say, Mixteca is right up there in the top few Mexican Restaurants I've ever been to. The food is absolutely fabulous. It is the very definition of home made. It tastes as though it was made in some one's home kitchen, some one with a lot of culinary skill. The Enchilada Plate, Chile Rellenos and the "Mixteca Wrap" are definitely my all time favorites. The service is phenomenal, top notch, couldn't be any better. The owner is often in there busting his ass in the kitchen and even taking people their orders or helping however he can, he's very hands on and seems very friendly to his staff, which goes to explain why they themselves are so incredibly friendly and cook such amazing food. On Saturday nights they hose a huge classic car show in the K-mart parking lot that they share. What better than live music, cool old cars and the best Mexican food in Phoenix? If there was a 6th star, I would give it to Mixteca.
(5)Ben R.
Not a good experience. Ordered at the counter and the guy who took my order was rude and not helpful. Then I waited 20 minutes for my food and was really disappointed with it. We had a carne asada burrito combo plate and an a la carte chile relleno. Everything was lacking flavor and I would highly recommend going somewhere else for fast Mexican food.
(2)Aaron A.
Mixteca is a cool little Mexican shop in the Glendale area. On Friday and Saturday nights they have a car show in the parking lot and music, sometimes even bands out there. It's really cool. As for the actual food here, I've only ordered breakfast burritos which are the bomb. Literally speaking, they can be a gut bomb but that not is always a bad thing. I recently ordered a bacon, cheese, egg, potato burrito and it was excellent, just really hard to finish, so think about sharing? I have had better breakfast burritos in my life, but I've had a lot worse, and this one is was far from the worse. I wish I could give a half star here to make it 3 1/2 stars for the carswhows at least! Anyways this is a good local hangout with decent food.
(3)Jamie A.
I don't understand how anyone would consider this place decent. We should've left immediately after seeing the filthy condition the place was in, but stayed because we were desperate to find a decent Mexican restaurant and sometimes looks can be deceiving. After ordering our food we waited for our number to be called but apparently our ticket got looked over because we noticed about 10 people who ordered after us were already eating their meals. Overall, the food was extremely bland and had no flavor whatsoever. I wish I read the reviews before coming here, a lot of them are frightening. At least the meat we received wasn't rotten.. Definitely not going to take any further risks with this place. Guess we'll have to keep looking.
(1)Cynthia V.
This place has a little bit of everything! The red chili enchiladas are delicious. Beans are good/fresh. Shredded beef tacos are really juicy and crunchy. Chorizo burritos are perfect. Staff is friendly service is fast. Very clean every time I've visited.
(5)Lucy A.
Hands down the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in Phoenix!!!! Will definitely be a repeat customer. Can't comment on some of the other issues brought up by other reviewers, as I did not physically go into the restaurant myself. But the food..AMAZING!
(5)Tom H.
My wife and I stopped by on the way home for lunch today. I ordered the carne asada burrito, which I've had before and thought was great. My wife ordered the beef torta. We got home and ate. The burrito tasted great. My wife ate half her torta and though it was decent. She saved the other half to eat later. While eating the other half of her torta, she felt something strange after the bite she took. She took out the food and opened up the torta to find the sticker on the tomato slices still stuck on there, (I'll upload the picture). I don't think we will be by again. It's unfortunate, because I thought their burritos were pretty good.
(1)Kimberly T.
LOVE MIXTECA!!! We live very close to here and eat here regularly!! The food is authentic and great!! Both breakfast and lunch are well worth the wait. The staff is friendly and the owner is very involved in the restaurant! Only downfall is that the drive through is incredibly slow...much faster to go in. :)
(5)Stephanie D.
Food was awesome. Drinks were terrible. House margaritas were watery. They use a low end mix. Disappointing. Could be a great hangout.
(2)Jolene C.
I absolutely LOVE Mixteca! I have been going for years, even back when they were on 43rd Ave and Peoria. The breakfast burritos with some green sauce are BOMB! Another favorite is the #5 with shredded beef tacos! I love their chips and salsa too!!
(5)Jill S.
Really enjoy the outside seating area and most of all the live music on the weekend paired with the car show out in the parking lot. Prices are good and you have a self serve chips and salsa bar where you can really get filled up on. I had the chicken fajitas which were good not excellent but, the price made them well worth it.
(4)Gary B.
The most awesome Carne Asada fries available anywhere. The best Mexican food I've had.
(5)Braden N.
If you like typical Mexican food, I don't see how you wouldn't be able to like this place. The food is great (again, TYPICAL Mexican food, here), but what makes this place even better is that it has beautiful outdoor seating where you can eat. It really made it a nice experience. Furthermore, they have a nice bar that goes both indoor and outdoor. It's very welcoming. Supposedly, they also have live music on some weekends. The place, really, is worth going to and trying out.
(5)Howard M.
Good Food, Small Place for Large Groups : this place is ok.. The Guy at Register was very Friendly :: DO NOT pick This place during LUNCH Rush or you May Have to SIT outside on Patio.. The Food was good.. a few of my Friends from Church liked the Place.. Restroom is ADA Compliant, but The sinks should be Upgrade to auto wash.. Dining area are Metal & some Chairs may not be "Fluffy Friendly" so "big" people have issues if they Try a booth.. The Place is alil bit on Small side so Large Crowds may not Fit during Busy time.. The Foutain has 2 Teas & is Coke w 10 Varieties, NO Cherry.. Like all Fast food you Have to Get your Order when its Called.. The good thing is the Salsa Bar for your Chips..
(2)Zane H.
Mexteca, while not known for their breakfast menu, has quite the selection of breakfast burritos and other breakfast items including pancakes with eggs and bacon. I opted to go with the pancakes meal, having had a breakfast burrito the day before. I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The eggs were delicious and the bacon was even better. The pancakes themselves were okay hence the three star rating. The staff was friendly and the dining area was clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend Mexteca, but I would suggest sticking with the breakfast burritos in the morning. Enjoy!
(3)Carmelo W.
I had a tongue burrito (listed under Torta on the menu) today. It was awesome!
(4)Becky P.
My family and I have eaten at this place a lot. It's usually pretty decent. But tonight our shredded beef tacos were literally sour. I thought it was just my taste buds so I tried to keep eating it. Then I realized the meat smelled putrid and had gone completely rotten. We called the manager, wasn't super helpful. Won't be going back.
(1)Angelo R.
Possibly our new spot! Great mexican food and a BAR!! With live music!! Cant beat it!!
(4)Nick V.
I don't know if I am lucky or unfortunate to live so close to this Mixteca. You see, the food is just so good and cheap that it us difficult to use any self restraint. The ambiance is unique and there are regular patio events that look fun too. Prices are on par with any valley berto's shop. Place your order, grab some chips and salsa from the bar and take a seat. Food is typically served quickly, but I have been in there when there was a crowd and wait times can increase. Worth it though, because the food is plentiful and superior to other area taco shops.
(5)Josuee L.
I should have read the yelp reviews before ordering my burrito here! I got a carne asada burrito through the drive through and when I sat down at home to eat it and took that big first anticipated bite I tasted rotting meat! Needless to say never going back.
(1)Kyle B.
Great food and service. The owner Bill always makes sure his customers are happy and taken care of. They usually have good music on the patio on Friday nights.
(5)Jennifer W.
I have yet to find a decent little Mexican food joint in the area. Sometimes you just want awesome neighborhood Mexican take out. This is not the spot. I've been here many times because of convenience and today I promised myself I wouldn't go back. Bland food, rolled tacos were soggy in the middle, regular tacos and even the salsa just are not flavorful. You'd expect more in AZ. I wish there was one of those Berto cousins close by..

This is a nice casual mexican fast food/dine in restaurant. When you first walk in theres a counter to place your order, your then given an order number and seat yourself. We came here on a thursday night and to my surprise they were pretty busy, with a live band outside( descent music) the other diners seemed to be having a good time which is an automatic bonus, people by nature thrive on other people's vibes. One of my favorite things here is they have a self serve chip and salsa bar that was well maintained visually and for the most part seems cleanly, the salsa is really good and taste very fresh they also have toppings like onions, pico, lemons, cilantro and cucumbers all fresh! Which I applaud.. we munched on the unlimited chips and salsa for awhile the wait was a little longer then I would have expected, but I was in no hurry and was just enjoying the company of my family. We eventually got our food I split a combo meal with my partner that came with a taco, tostada, tamale, and rice and beans. And ordered a kids hamburger with fries for the kids. This place has very large portions so its cost effective for the family 16.98 $ fed my family of four and we were pleasantly stuffed. And im a gal that can put it down im by no means a rabbit. So when I say large portions I do mean it. The only thing I could suggest for the restaurant is the rice is very disappointing to me and bland, im a pretty hard critic when it comes to spanish rice, because I make a killer Spanish rice I grew up on. The other thing I wasnt to pleased with , I did not like the fact that a few of the staff were chasing eachother around the restaurant and one almost ran my 6 year old daughter over. There is a time and place for rough play and on the clock should not be one of those times. Overall opinion is pretty tasty and affordable. . I will most definitely come back for the food .

Great Mexican food. Probably the best spot in North Glendale . The enchiladas are my favorite. The patio area is nice. We enjoy the chips and salsa bar, excellent salsa! It is a fun place to hang out with the family and friends for an inexpensive dinner. Oh! The special margaritas are made with Patron. Can't go wrong with Patron and they are pretty inexpensive for top shelf . TIP: local car owners display their cars in the adjacent parking lit on Fri night. Kinda cool to go walk and look at the cars. Safe, family friendly spot

This place has something for everyone, while not a sit down restaurant , the food is super delicious and authentic. Coming from out of state it took us a while to find our kinda Mexican food, this place has it from shredded beef and street tacos to shrimp burritos and the red sauce for the enchiladas they do it all perfectly. Try the Mixteca omlette for breakfast only if your really hungry and live music , full waitress service and relaxing ambience and cold beer on the patio perfect to relax after long week on fri- Sunday nights.

Breakfast fan. Huge portions and consistent delicious food. Nice salsa bar and patio. I go here as a reward to myself.
(5)Tim Q.
We have enjoyed mixteca on several occasions. There is a bit of a line, but it is always worth the wait. Salsa bar and chips are awesome and I absolutely love their beef tacos.
(5)Norma R.
Decoration are very dusty. Bathroom was not very clean. After waiting for 1 hr for menudo, finally had enough of waiting. Went to ask what was taking so long. Informed that "menudo was not ready". Checked their health department grade and they got a "c". Will not be eating that menudo after all.
(1)Ann C.
This place is a gem! The food is excellent. I would challenge you to find a better shredded beef taco anywhere in the valley! The atmosphere was fun and in the parking lot was a car club show ( I hear they do car show every Friday and Saturday night). Absolutely should be on your list of places to try!
(5)Dave B.
I am from So.Cal where there is plenty of great Mexican Restaurants! This place is a gem! The food is awesome! Free chips in salsa bar!! Go it's great!

After waiting in the drive thru for about a half an hour with only three cars ahead of us, came home to open the bag with someone else's order... Fail!
(1)xtoz s.
Very Slow. The first time I visited, I went through the drive thru. There were a couple of cars ahead of me, and it took a while before I got to the speaker to order. Then a while longer before I got to the window. Then longer still before I got my food. Over 20 minutes but the food was pretty good. The second time, I decided to go inside and get my order to go. This was a mistake. The line was not moving very fast to take the orders, but the worst part was waiting for the food. Someone would put an item in a tray on the counter and then go work on some other order. After a while, someone would put something else in the tray, and so on. The result was over 30 minutes from the time I placed my order until I received it, and most of it was soggy and falling apart and cold. Luke warm would be a generous description. To be fair, the beans were hot. The food is basically the same as the 'bertos around town, but I won't be back due to the wait.
(2)Briann F.
This place is gross. The food is not good at all. My husband and I were in search for good Mexican food (and still are) good thing we only ordered one burrito I couldn't even choke it down
(1)Anne F.
Good food and selection. My husband and I eat here fairly regularly. I love their salsa and the atmosphere is great
(4)Cesar V.
This is very clean and friendly place to eat as a couple or your family on Saturdays they have DJ music with a variety of good music. The food is always great and very affordable .
(5)Cinthia W.
This place is very affordable, good, and they serve the right amount of portion. A big selection on their menu from American food to Mexican and Sea food. DJ is up going and a very family atmosphere
(5)Nisha S.
My husband and I were in search for good Mexican food, we ordered combination of taco, tamale and tostada and a Fajita for me. since v r vegetarian he substituted enchilada in place of tamale. Omg! That was the most horrible Enchilada v ever had. The cheese was gross and so sticky like bubblegum...eeeksssss.. I couldn't even choke it down. They offer free chips for Dine in and they taste weird the salsa was not flavorful. Needless to say, i am never going ther again.
(2)Bella B.
Have been coming here for a few years now and WOW how much work they have done to improve the restaurant! The patio looks amazing!! The food has always been amazing too! I always get the combo and shrimp cocktail and it never lets me down!! You get your chips and salsa after you order and they have a variety of salsa to choose from! I have so many good things to say about the restaurant that my review could keep going! AND they have a drive though!!
(5)Lacey E.
It was extremely noisy and congested inside and in line for the register. But we got our food fast and it was great! Getting to-go boxes was a bit of hassle because we had to go back to the counter for them, and as mentioned, it was a bit crazy in there. The person who got the to-go lids for me was a little rude but he was busy and I didn't take it personally. This place seemed very popular! It wasn't the best that we had two babies (because of how crowded it was) but it was good and we'll go again.
(3)Adam P.
Breakfast burrito for the second day in a row. They are great!!!!! I have been to Mixteca before this is my first review for it. I hate to beat a dead horse but I need a half star. Burrito was great but no better than the one I had yesterday at big burrito. The only difference was the ambiance is much nicer at Mixteca although the salsa isn't nearly as good. If big burrito was a nicer location I would rate it higher than Mixteca and vice versa if the food were better at Mixteca I would rate it higher. So as far as breakfast burros go it's a tie.
(3)Joe S.
If you like good drinks, beer and great food this is the place to visit on Saturday nights. Remember it is no frills and the food comes on paper plates. Live entertainment on the patio which seems to start out Meh but gets better with every beer LOL. Before or after eating you can visit the car show in the parking lot - usually a few hundred cars (Saturday night)
(5)Sandee S.
Absolutely delicious! We happened to be in the area for an appt and decided to stop. The staff was so helpful and friendly and my carne asada chimichanga was heavenly. They have a chips and salsa bar which is a big hit. We will definitely be back.
(5)Michelle M.
I have two favorite things about Mixteca..oh make that three. 1) Breakfast burritos. I think their breakfast burritos are the best and I've tried a lot. 2) Salsa bar! 3) Drive through - because sometimes you don't feel like getting out of the car. :-) I pretty much only get the breakfast burritos and chips & salsa. Everyone I've shared Mixteca with seems to like it too.
(5)James B.
Great family owned restaurant with the best Mexican food I have ever had! I've lived in AZ my life and know good Mexican food and this is it!
(5)A S.
This place is awesome! Salsa bar, beer, margaritas and authentic tasty Mexican food. This place has the best ceviche tostadas. EVER. Hand down. The machaca burritos are amazing too. The carne asada tacos are just ok. Not taco truck status, but still yummy. The guac kind of ruined it for me.
(4)Christy C.
I've eaten here twice now, once for breakfast and once for dinner. The food here is just okay, in my opinion. It is good for when I'm in a crunch and craving Mexican food and need a quick, convenient spot to chow down at. However, there are definitely way better Mexican dining options out there. I had the chorizo, egg, and papa breakfast burrito most recently when I visited here. It is huge! Definitely big enough to split between two people, and good portion size for the price.
(3)Cynthia Q.
They charge more at the registers than on the menu. If a taco is $2.75 ea. then at the registers they will charge an extra $.85 and lie through their teeth or hopefully you are too drunk to notice and say the taco costs $3.60 plus tax not the menu prices you see up on the board or on the paper menus. A combo will cost up to $2.75 more at the registers, again they will deceive you with BS. They've been doing this on and off between summer and spring for the past four years yet nobody notices the price differential on the board or paper menus and the registers. They still have SLEAZY waitresses not servers who encourage patrons to buy more drinks. I believe they have sex in the bathrooms during open mic nights, I saw a condom on the floor. Several years ago I remembered when they started out on 43rd Ave and north of Dunlap Ave they did the same thing, and neither the city, county, nor state did nothing. This reminded me of another restaurant in Glendale who are still operating there after so many years. Where is the common decency?!
(1)Taric W.
Carne asada is alright, but you've gotta put more effort into your food than handfuls of shredded cheese on most menu items. On my second visit, I opted for the green chile burrito...the tortilla was nothing special, and the chile was bland. You call THAT a green sauce? As the green, gravy like mixture spilled everywhere, I tried to enjoy it with some tortilla chips. Their chips aren't anything special either. I like the salsa bar and the atmosphere, but when it comes to a quick Mexican dining experience, I know you can do tons better. I don't hate this place, but the bar is set higher in the desert.
(2)Jonathan W.
Very fresh and delicious food. I would recommend the Carne Asada burrito and the street tacos. I occasionally get the Carnitas in the tacos but it has been hit or miss lately. The salsa they include with the meal is fantastic. My wife loves the bean and cheese burritos. Pro-tip: If you are going through the drive thru bring a book, iPad or gaming device. It is going to be a while but it's worth the wait.
(4)Doug S.
Good food big portions reasonably priced.
(4)Jaime S.
Mixteca is my go-to spot for Mexican fast food. It's primarily Sonoran and Baja fare. All the staples are very good but a few standard orders are the Torta Cubana, Carne Asada/Green Chile/Machaca burritos and shredded beef tacos. This place isn't going to blow your mind with anything new but as far as Valley Mexican fast food chains go, this is one of the better options.
(4)Lynn F.
This place is a Dump and so dirty start out with the chips everybody hands on the chips and kids diging in with hands :P that little scooper just doesnt cut it ..The owner or lady who works their she starts with picking up the big dirty matt on floor by ice tea drink also dirty rag sitting on side of ice tea drinks and coke machines then with her bare hands she goes to ice tea tanks and puts them in placer then goes and washes down tables with dirty water then comes back put in napkins in holder and then messes with sauce cups and lids for drinks all from the start of that matt on floor she did not wash her hands. The Food was ok nothing i would write home abt .. I dont care how cheap the food is .. wold not go back their again .
(1)Faith D.
Eat here! I ordered the street tacos and they were authentic...I could actually envision getting the same plate somewhere in Mexico. It was delicious and cheap! The ingredients seemed fresh. The serving was plentiful! The service was fast and friendly. They were busy the entire time I was there and all the other customers seemed happy. There is a patio and it looks like they could host a pretty fun event out there, if needed. There are a couple of tvs so you can watch your favorite sporting event as well. Keep it up, Mixteca! I'll be seeing you again on my next trip back to Phoenix.
(4)Tricia J.
I only gave it 3 stars. We live right by Mexteca so a lot of times it's our go-to place for Mexican food. Lately we've been disappointed. I always order street tacos and they don't seem as fresh as they used to be. My husband gets the Mexican pizza and he can say the same. The breakfast burritos seem like they've been pre made and warmed up...they used to be much fresher. This place isn't as busy as other competitors near by like Carambas, yet the wait to get your food is really long. The workers also don't seem as friendly anymore. I don't know if something has changed with management or if my husband and I are just tried of eating here. Prices are decent and decor inside is nice! Just not the best food anymore.
(3)CJ C.
STELLAR! They even have healthy options. Had a steak burrito on a whole wheat tortilla. Totally loaded with veggies and steak. I love the salsa bar, in my opinion if the chips and salsa suck I will pass on everything else. Looking forward to a return visit soon. Stoked on what they are doing on the patio.
(5)Shannon H.
This place is so legit! Where to even start... Umm top 3 best carne asada burritos I have had. My fave used to be Carolinas... not anymore. Owner is almost always there and is nice as can be. Awesome coronaritas. Super casual grab your own drinks and chips inside.. if you want a server on the weekends outside you can get that too. Their ala carte tacos are bomb... as well as their wraps! love love love this place! be ware on Friday and Saturday they are busy busy busy with the car show that is going on at night..but don't stray its a ton of fun!
(5)Daren C.
Good stuff here... I had a carne asada which tasted charred and had great flavor. Angie had a bean and cheese burrito, enchilada style... her favorite. Served with some chips and Salas and even a beer if you wish. Def a favorite fast food Mex place.
(4)Danny M.
So Mixteca was recommended to my wife from a co-worker. She described it as a neighborhood local go to place with really good food. We went and I agree, the food was delicious and large portions. Hope to visit again, maybe after a Cardinals game.
(4)Mary S.
This is a good place to get a cheap meal. The food is nothing to write home about but it wasn't bad either and CHEAP! I liked the fun atmosphere.
(3)Katarina G.
Good, cheap Mexcian food covered in gooey cheese. Yum. Nothing fancy but HUGE menu to choose from. Also burgers with amazing fries for the non-adventurous children in our family. Only issue is the soda machine only works 1/2 the time. Personal favorite- Chile Relleno and cheese enchilada combo.
(4)Jimmy U.
Mixteca was OK. Kind of a cross between Baja Fresh and Robertos. The quesadilla was decent and the beef tacos were good also, just nothing spectacular. I would go up the street to "Carumbas" for something better. Doesn't accept AMEX:(
(3)Ryan M.
One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The machaca plate is awesome! Gets busy on Sundays but so worth it. Great for dinner too. Lots of options on the menu and everything is cheap. Huge portions we always end up taking leftovers home. Get the watermelon or limeade drink too, you'll thank me.
(5)Simon S.
I have had many meals here over many years and have always been very pleased with everything. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone desiring good Mexican style food. Thank you Mixteca for your efforts and the great job you do.
(4)Lauren N.
Never coming here before, I was surprised that this place is basically like a fast food Mexican restaurant. It even has a drive thru. But lots of people have told me how good it was so I tried it anyway. I ordered their street taco special which is basically like two small carne or pollo asada tacos with beans and rice for $5.50. It was a great deal and really filling for the price! There are bottomless chips for dine in customers although the chips were slightly stale because they were sitting out for people to refill themselves. They had a salsa/condiment bar and I sampled all the different kinds they offered. They were all fresh and tasty! Overall, great quick spot for Mexican food in the area. Definitely will be back soon!
(4)Julia S.
The best carne asada burrito ever! The tamales "enchilada style" melt in your mouth. So good and such quality!
(5)Lydia S.
Worked at the Kmart across the parking lot... My coworkers got a burrito there, and found a bug in it!! Ewww!
(1)Greg F.
Best carne Assad burrito I've had EVER!
(5)Craig C.
Great Mexican food and is usually serviced fast.
(4)Robert N.
No pretense, but the very best cheese enchiladas in the valley! I have been a patron for years now, eaten in all the old locations. The food remains the same, great!! Red beef burrito are huge and filled with tender meat and a wonderful sauce. Salsa bar, try the pickeled cucumbers. A family favorite. Prices are reasonable. Huge bowls of albondigas soup or just beef and chunks of vegetables, delicious.
(5)Rebecca S.
Dear Mixteca, How I love thee. Our relationship started so long ago when I was only 16, and you were located on 43rd and Olive. How far we have come since my lovely high school days. I am proud to see that you have decided to move closer to me, sweetheart. I am happy that we can now share the delicious treats that you provide. Oh how I love your seasoned beef; I crave no other than your lusciousness...your salsa sure does spice up our nights. I couldn't be happier of the cheapness of our dates...AMAZING. Thank you so much for giving me the flavor and freshness that I crave in my life. I know our relationship will continue to go on strong. Love Always, Rebecca
(4)Francisco S.
Just OK. The staff was not friendly at all. The Carne Asada does have flavor, but they drown the chile relleno in sauce & cheese when you get the combo plate. I've never had a chile relleno with sauce. I couldn't even taste the chile with all that goo on it. If a Mexican place does not have great beans, it shows that they do not take pride in their food. Mixteca's beans were blah! The salsa bar was a mess when we got there, and the bar lacks flare.
(2)Patty G.
Fun Saturday night music venue with good food & beer for only a few $. The music is fun and tunes everyone knows. The 1$ carne asada tacos are straightforward; meat, cilantro, onion, grilled jalepeño - delicious! Saw some lucious burgers being served. Will have to try one next time. Will definitely be back! As with any outside venue, as a non-smoking asthmatic I appreciate adherence to the 50ft from door rule. I'm sure other non-poluters would appreciate as well. As seems to be the norm, smokers only care about smoking. I can appreciate that its an addiction, but think of others occasionally please.
(4)Rt B.
They never let you down! The bacon, egg, and potato breakfast burrito is an eye opener... Which helps in the morning. Carne Asada burrito it hands down awesomeness in a tortilla! However, my favorite plate is (drum roll) the Chicken Chimi!!!!! Epic deliciousness, golden fried... Same color as the streets in heaven. We will never stop coming here... God bless you Mexteca!
(5)Scot H.
the wait was long, but that means the food was cooked fresh. it was not bad. a decent burrito. something cheesy, greasy and hot was also ordered. decent food, service was okay.
(3)Beth G.
My taco tasted just like KFC. Mixteca somehow found out the Colonel's secret recipe and put it on the taco meat. While it may actually sound kind of good, no, it wasn't. The food wasn't very good overall, it was maybe good in the bland 'bertos-esque way that some people seem to like. The food just wasn't cheap enough to explain away the bland and terrible taste of it. For the two of us it was barely under $20 and we didn't even each get our own drink. The highlight of the meal was the drink we shared. We got a canteloupe/watermelon drink that was off the chain. Saved themselves from a 1 star review with that gem. It was crowded and not friendly.
(2)Shelly S.
Picked up a beef fajita burrito at the drive thru. Long strips of "meat" that was mostly connective tissue and completely unchewable. I've never had beef fajitas like this, very disappointed.
(1)Michael M.
Found a new place for street tacos! I drive past this place quite a bit and I always wanted to stop in... Well I did and it was great! Street Taco Special was $3.99 (03-01-10) Two tacos with two flour tortillas each, lots of meat and topped with cilantro and onions. Plus the rice and beans. Great deal and a perfect dinner! Reminds me of Rocky Point! Beers are pricey.. $4 but the cheap food made up for that!
(4)t f.
I want to give more stars and really like this place. Service was ok, carne asada tacos pretty good. Price is cheap. They have beer. Nice layout and good location. All great things but................The place is filthy. If you can't or won't maintain the dining room and bathrooms then just imagine the kitchen. We didn't catch them on a bad day either. What a shame.
(2)Dan K.
I've tried a half dozen or so Mexican/Tex-Mex places in Glendale and this is so far the best I've found by far.
(5)Tracy M.
I always find it reassuring when I pull up to a Mexican restaurant that there's a bunch of landscaping trucks parked and the guys are inside eating lunch :) I thought Mixteca did a pretty good job with my carne asada tacos, rice and beans were not a complete afterthought, decent chips and salsa bar. The staff was friendly (they actually SMILED). I was about to get a little p.o.'d when my taco platter and small Diet Coke was more than nine dollars but rest assured the portions are by no means skimpy. The decor was typical fresh-Mex beach type, I could certainly see myself enjoying a cerveza on the large patio when the sub-100 degree days resume!
(4)Mike M.
Stopped in for a business breakfast. I had the Chilaquiles with scrambled eggs. It was great. It's not really on my side of town but I'd really like to go back and try some other dishes. Hefty portions at great prices. All four of us ate well for under $40 including drinks.
(4)Jared M.
This place was messy and loud. The food really wasn't great and the salsa bar looked like a three year old put it together. Overall the only plus was the tortilla chips that were free before the food. I will not be back unless one of my friends pays for me
(1)Kristen R.
I went through the drive through and ordered 1 burrito and chips and salsa. Got home and realized I didnt have my burrito. I didnt have enough time to go back and come back home again, so I got ready for work, and then went back on my way to work. It had now been about 45 minutes since I was at the drive-thru. I walked inside this time, and explained what had happened. The girl didnt' seem to care. She grabbed a burrito that had been sitting in the corner by the drive thru for this whole time apparently. I was hoping for a fresh burrito to take to work, not an old one that had been sitting out. She said they could charge me for a new burrito. I said no thank you I will just take my money back for the one I never got. She did give it back but dropped my money on the counter with a little attitute. I guess it was my fault they forgot to put my burrito in the bag? Went across the street to Carambas to pick up lunch instead. Love Carambas!
(1)Albert H.
Fried, greasy, stomache-ache inducing food here and I gave it two tries. Even applies for breakfast too, especially if you go for the Chiliaquiles. Salsa bar is a letdown because each salsa is represented twice, so it looks like more options than there really are.
(3)Dawn K.
My husband called the chicken fajita burrito one bad ass burrito. The carne asada burrito and quesadilla were equally yummy. Nice stop for a quick bite.
(5)William A.
Very greasy food. I ordered a carne asada burrito and my wife had a hard shell chicken tacos both were so greasy we threw them out and made something else for dinner. Wont eat here again
(1)Adam S.
Best mexican in northwest valley. Great fish tacos, my kids love the cheese crisps, grilled chicken burrito is awesome. I am a frequent visitor and have yet to be dissatisfied.
(5)J G.
It's hard to go wrong at Mixteca. At first glance it may seem pricey, but the value is in the large portions and fresh ingredients. Try the breakfast burrito! Kudos to the friendly staff!
(4)Vinchinzo T.
Great Little place for a quick bit to eat. Has a decently priced menu. The line moves quick and the salsa bar is all you can eat so two thumbs up.
(4)Paul B.
Great Place for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. I love their Egg and Cheese Burrito for Breakfast. Try the Street Tacos.
(4)Armando S.
The food here is pretty authentic and portions are way large. Prices justified. It's best to go after 1:30 on the weekends when the lunch crowd thins a bit. You can get Tex-Mex faves like chimichangas, or carne asada soft tacos. Overall it's worth the price. I agree it's great to dine outside when temp is below 100.
(4)Eli H.
Mixteca is my favorite fast food Mexican joint. I usually go here for breakfast and the inside is really nice and it doesn't have an odor like most Filberto's or Rolbertos or Berthabertos, ha ha. Anyway, I usually get the chorizo plate or chiquilitas plate or breakfast burrito. The food is always so tasty and the chorizo is never runny, the beans are creamy and the flour tortillas are pretty good too but not homemade. The food always comes out in a ceramic dinner plate, not some paper plate and the chips and salsa are to die for. The hot sauce has a hint of garlic and cilantro (my mouth is watering just describing it). They have really cool melon and watermelon drinks that my kids love. My wife always gets a egg, cheese, & pico burrito. I have not been here yet for dinner but I am sure it is just as good as the breakfast, you can tell the owners put there heart in this place because it really shows.
