    Can you please fix this light.

    Overkill on lighting parking lot lighting - We contacted them directly twice with no response. We live in Cave Creek to avoid the BIG CITY LIGHTS, but yet we see this from dusk til dawn. Not in compliance with CC Zoning. Who would want this for a view while watching a sunset / night sky?

    Best breakfast burritos in the Cave Creek area. They are friendly and service is quick. We have tried the burritos with ham, bacon and chorizo and all were great. Level up by adding potatoes for $0.50 more. They recently added tables outside to expand seating, otherwise take away is the way to go. Don't forget to order some pickled carrots and jalapenos.

    Great spot to stop by for a quick lunch! My husband had a steak burrito and I had a chimichanga. It was delicious. Chips and salsa were good (salsa was spicy). Don't forget to ask for the pickled carrots! This is real Mexican food! The people there are amazing and so kind and you really felt the care put into this family owned business. Will be back!

    While we looked at the menu posted outside the front door of the restaurant, the cashier opened a window on the side and asked if we wanted to come in. As soon as we entered, everyone working here greeted us (cashier, cooks, everyone). It being our first time here, the cashier told us which dishes were customer favorites. I got the carne asada burrito (which came with guacamole and pico in the burrito), and my friend got the bacon breakfast burrito (which came with egg and cheese in the burrito, and she added potatoes for an extra $0.50). The food came out super fast. The carne asada itself was very bland and tough, and I wish the burrito had less meat and more guacamole and pico. My friend said her burrito was one of the best she's ever had. The tortillas were hot and soft, and I really wish I liked my burrito more than I did. The green hot sauce was delicious, and the cashier gave us three other hot sauces to try (mild, hot, and habanero). He also gave us two 16.9 fl oz water bottles for free. I would give the service here ten stars if I could. I'll come back based on that alone. The parking is ample and close to the entrance. The bathrooms are clean. The seating area inside is nothing fancy, but it's well kept and a quiet place to enjoy your meal. They accept Apple Pay and credit cards for an additional $0.50 charge, so bring cash if you can.

    Pretty standard, but good breakfast burrito. Hard to find location. Hot sauces were good, but atm card surcharge is unnecessary.

    Burrito was so fire

    They were so nice and the burritos are sooo good! 10/10 recommend! Will tell my friends about this place.

The best tacos and Indian fry bread in AZ. Hubby loves sweet he gets his fry bread with powdered sugar. I love the Navajo Taco fry bread. Smothered in chilli, cheese, lettuce & tomatoes sooo good. Sometimes I get the Taco plate made with shredded beef. They do have many other things on their menu all very good. Prices are fantastic. Small place in the back to eat also seating out front or tables under the trees out back. Don't drive to fast you'll miss it! Its clean rustic atmosphere is fun. The store has all kinds of rocks, T shirts, blankets even a scorpion rocks. We live about 45 min from here and it's so worth the drive. Great place to bring out of town guest to see the desert town of Cave Creek and enjoy some great food.

Our server, Karina, was very friendly and gave us ample time to decide on a drink. She brought us water right away, but we love draft beer. We each ordered a glass of Modelo negro which really hit the spot on this warm day. We shared an order of carnitas taco plate and their beef brisket taco plate. Since I don't like blue cheese, Karina was kind enough to offer Mexican cheese as an alternative. Both plates were very good and my wife gave thumbs up on the rice and beans which I rely on since she is Mexican. The decor inside was beautiful but we found their music distracting. We are older and would probably prefer older Mexican music, but we could still carry on a conversation without the music drowning us out.

The dirty birdy and whiskey buck were such a hit we had a few. The appetizers we tried were delicious. The seared ahi tasted yummy and the pork belly with its crunchy exterior was gobbled up quick. We then tried the cauliflower and steamed clams. The broth for the clams was so good, we asked for more bread to sop it up. The cauliflower was yummy and everything on the plate was eaten up. The girls were full after that, but I wanted to try the beet salad. Have to say, one of the best I've ever had. Beets, arugula, goat cheese, walnuts (I think) and Orange slices with a tasty vinaigrette. Although the girls were 'full', they saw that and had to try it. Nothing left in that bowl as well. Overall, very pleasantly surprised and will for sure return to try other items on the menu. Service was great btw! My wife and I will certainly be back!

Just wonderful people running the restaurant and the manger saved the day by presenting us with a magnificent slice of warm chocolate cake with whipped cream. SO GOOD.
