Or server was great and suggested the quesobirria which were fantastic to dip in the red chili broth. The salsa is bomb. The rice was delicious and different and the beans were solidly delicious. I’m going back soon.

Food was delicious, service was fast and friendly. Nice selection at reasonable pricing. Went on a Monday evening and it was a quieter night. Not sure how busy it gets on the weekends, but they are bigger inside than I had expected and have a very large, nice clean parking lot if they get really busy. I will eat here again.

This place is so amazing! Way underrated! The food here is divine. The calabicitas are to die for. The shredded beef is so tender and juicy and the taco shells are so light and crispy. This is the best Mexican restaurant in town.

5 star Mexican food! My favorites of the evening were the esquites and the chile en nogada. But honestly, everything I ate here was amazing. I love that they have a margarita flight because their options all sound so tasty!

Food was amazing, atmosphere was amazing, staff was amazing. My friend and I were in town for a concert and happened to stop by. Carlos (I believe he said his name was) served us and was super nice and so was the lady at the front. On our way out she noticed my friend and I taking pictures and she ran out in the rain to help us out. I wish I lived in Tucson so I could come eat here more. Well worth a visit!!!

The food was tastey. I ordered from the Sunday brunch menu. The enchiladas were yummo. I got one chicken enchilada, one meat enchilada with two eggs. The beans and rice were good, too. The birra chimi was super.

I have been a few times and maybe it was an off night. First and second time, food was deliciously authentic and fresh. Although, I do appreciate the healthier menu options. Unfortunately the corn tortillas were not as fresh, as were the chips. Salsa has also been better, the green menudo with chicken another first for us…did not quite hit the spot other than the margarita.

Try a Jamaica! The green chicken enchiladas were really good. The rice was the best I’ve ever had and the calabacitas were great too. Definitely will return.
