Look, I'm not gonna to lie you...I haven't eaten there in over 10 years. Not because it sucked,…read moremainly because I can't get into the place. It's too busy. Guess why it's so busy? Because it's probably the best Mexican restaurant in Southern Arizona. And now, EVERYBODY knows it. I used to blame the Snowbirds, but it's obviously because of the "locals" now. Not many Canadians spend the summers with us, and the place is still crazy busy in July -but- If you can get in...do it! If I had the time to wait in line, I'd do it too. Enjoy!

My wife & I visited Benson this weekend, and tried this restaurant for lunch on Friday. It's small,…read moreand they only had 2 servers so we waited maybe 20 minutes for a table. BUT THE FOOD!!! The chips & salsa: chips were piping hot, and comes with a bowl of the best green salsa - perfectly sweet with that hint of hot at the end. Amazing! My wife ordered a horchata which was spectacular. My order- pictured shrimp tacos- were absolutely delicious and as you can see the presentation is top tier. We got their dessert special carrot cake to go and had it later that night. The carrot cake is beyond words crazy good. All around just a delightful experience! If you're within 80 miles of this place make the journey. I'm not kidding at all- best Mexican food I've ever had

Really nice place to stop into if you're in Benson…read more We came here on a Sunday for lunch (note: many places in Wilcox closed) and plenty of people eating. I had a bowl of their deluxe tortilla soup and loved it! I decided against adding chicken but still the soup was so filling and warming. Very fresh vegetables and lots of avocados too. I'd definitely get this again. My friend had a chicken mole plate and said it wad good but did wish the rice wasn't overcooked but then commented that this seems typical. Bright and colorful restaurant, service was very good, and food was excellent. I'd gladly come back anytime!

I ordered chicken mole enchiladas for $16.99 which came out quickly. The mole was delicious but the portion was small. It came with no sides.

The menu is extensive but I just wanted something light to hold me over until dinner so I had three ground beef tacos, the special of the day. The tacos were indeed light with just a little beef, lettuce and cheese. The bottled sauce added a nice spice. Service was very friendly. The interior decor looked like it came straight out of Sonora with colorful rural art on the walls. I would come back for a heartier meal as the service and the customers were welcoming.

The quesadilla was actually pretty decent. The tamales were ok. They were bland with little flavor. The chips and salsa were sad. The chips were stale and the salsa was a poor purchased hot sauce. I would expected more being in Arizona. This is what I would expect in the northern states where Mexican food is not as abundant. The service was ok. The seating area must have been purchased in the early 70s and never updated. I would look somewhere else for mexican food. This is not the place.

We were looking for a place for lunch and found the The Horseshoe cafe. This place has been around…read moresince 1936 and that isn't at all surprising. It's one of those places located on "Main Street" in a small town that caters to locals. I found that is was the perfect place for lunch. It has atmosphere in spades and makes you know that you are out-west, in the authentic meaning of the word. The service was friendly and competent. I particularly enjoyed my hamburger. It was grilled as requested and had a great beefy taste. The fries were plentiful and tasty. My wife's chicken tenders were kind of average, but she enjoyed them, as well as the fries. This isn't five star dining, but it's the kind of place that you are glad you found because it's exactly what you wanted for lunch.

The steak was cooked the way I asked, medium rare, but it was chewy. The salad was very good.

We had a good view of the outside door facing the vehicle line (pretty sure it was the bathroom) and there was brown liquid seeping out from underneath the door onto the concrete sidewalk. It was not something that made you hungry for sure. An awful site. I would move that door or close it off. A dumb place for it. Other than that, it was fixed the next time we went. We have NEVER gotten sick here at Fito's Taco Shop. That's how I judge these places and will return until the day I do. Employees wash their hands well and keep clean kitchen area. On the other hand, their competitors (other Mexican mobile food vehicles ie: (roach coaches) parked between the tracks in the past) we did get sick. WE GOT REAL SICK, (like a virus sickness, horrible week of fever) the first time we went, and then stopped going to those mobile food vendors FOREVER after that. At Fito's Taco shop, their burritos have always been massive and delicious. If you take them apart, the tortillas are about 20 inch diameter or larger. Short wait times in their drive thru is what I like. Friendly people at the window that I have always tipped. So, 5 stars minus one star for that day something backed up but that wasn't really their fault was it? And, they apparantly called it in right? They get all 5 stars. Tip them well folks.
