The food here was very tasteful. We had lengua, chicken & carnitas tacos. Along with a carnitas burrito, beans, rice & Modelo & Dos Equis beers. Our server, David (I believe that was his name), was so kind, helpful with the menu & how the dishes came since it was our first time here. My wife & I will be back when we’re out visiting the east valley, we highly recommend this restaurant.

Quality usually doesn’t come quickly. Be prepared to wait a bit as this isn’t turn-and-burn service. And be prepared to taste some amazing food. It’s hand made, everything. And you can taste it. Wow, is really all I can say about the mole poblano! My margarita was also made by hand, not poured from a batch. My server was very friendly and attentive when I needed something.

Food and Service are no longer the same as when they first opened. What bothered me alot and made me lose my appetite was that i Found a hair in the barbacoa. Health department should check if everyone in the kitchen has proper food handling credentials. Very upset that this place is no longer on my list of little gems in the neighborhood. And then on top of that they charge you a 15% gratituity fee as part of your visit. The problem is that they hand you the receipt with a pen expecting you to double Tip. After you already paid a gratituity fee on your total.

This is authentic Mexican food, the real deal! One of the 3 best Mexican restaurant in the Valley. If you dont love this place either you are not Mexican or you do know sh*t – in which case ypu need to stick to Macayos or Taco Bell with your like-minded kind.

The food was very good. If I were rating the food alone it would be a 5. There were some language issues though. I’m very glad my boyfriend speaks Spanish or I seriously think I couldn’t have eaten here. They realized he spoke Spanish and proceeded to ignore me and some only to him and only in Spanish so that was off putting. Good food and nice decor though.

Be prepared to overpay for half decent food. Also beware of their 15% Service Fee with a party of 5 or more. Notice it is not considered a tip in their eyes nor is it a gratuity fee. It is a Service Fee. They don’t mention this fee or bring it up. I noticed this fee while paying my bill.

Went there today and the food was great. We ordered carne asada tacos, Al pastor tacos, and a chicken quesadilla. Everything tasted good and we were served quickly. The salsas were very good too.

Incredible restaurant. Lamb on weekends is a must. Staff is friendly and detail-oriented. You will find dishes and ingredients that are uncommon and not served at your average Valley Mexican spot. Specialities from the Hildalgo región mean that you get transported to the Mexican state but you only have to get yourself to East Tempe by the Mesa border. Food is well spiced and made with care and heart. Give this place a try! You will be well rewarded.
