    Tacos de pescado
    Adumb S.

    Under the chile, crema, and lettuce are delicious home made tortillas, fat pieces of fried fish and so much flavor! S/O to Robert for serving us and the cook for whippin it up! My girlfriend loved the tripa tacos too! Crispy & Juicy! The serrano was the cherry on top too! *chefs kiss*

    The enterance

    I walked in, to non friendly environment. No greeting. Just got shoved a menu, while I was looking up at the menu. I said hi, and requested my food. The girl was not wearing a mask, she smirked when I gave her my card. She returned it to me. While I waited for my food, her shirt kept riding up and I could see her midriff. Not really appropriate for a food business. The environment was cozy. The color of the restaurant was joyful, and there was a cute mural on the wall. I enjoyed the table placements and the counter. The business is still growing and has a lot to give. I still stand by my 3 stars. The plating and food was amazing!!!! The only reason I come back!

    I'm coming back for another 1 of these beauties! It's a fat juicy burger with some mild heat. Delish!!

    2 trips in the memory bank for this place & plenty more to come!! Both times the meals were consistent & delicious. Of course I had the same thing because I really loved the Asada torta the 1st time & round 2 didn't let me down. Fries = perfectly crisp. Side of onions and peppers that I absolutely loved. This torta is like a super juicy and mildly spicy burger. You know it's good when you are licking the wrapper.

    Carnitas burrito was tasty. House-made flour tortilla was a big part of that.

    Really good people here and the food was authentic and super tasty. Carnitas burrito and Quesabirrias were delicious. Tortillas were legit and they serve cerveza!

    GREAT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD! Was told they hand make their tortillas so that's awesome. The carnitas was delicious. 10/10 recommend! I got the three taco meal, 2 sopes (these are pretty big too, I got full off of just one) and two soda bottles all under $35.

    The food was amazing. Three BA tacos ( pork, fish, and shrimp ) for $9! Some of the best tacos I have ever had. Will definitely be coming back.

    Amazing taco menu!!!

    The street noise, parking lot asphalt atmosphere and heat should not deter you from this wonderful place!! It is not good, it is great! My love and I went here on a whim after we saw it on the side of the road and all the great reviews. We were hangry and had already gone through a ton of monies over the weekend. Well, sometimes there is a diamond in rough, this is one. For ten freaking dollars we got four tacos and a Mandarin Jalisco. Let me start with the pastor, we each got one and they were amazing. I wish there was pineapple but I know everyone does it different, it was so good regardless. There was also a huge amount of pastor accompanied by cilantro, onions and this wonderful salsa! The pollo taco was equally generous on the amount of meat and the chicken cooked and seasoned/marinated perfectly. My boyfriend also got a chorizo taco...holy crap! So good, authentic and HOT!! The service was wonderful, the ambiance is non-existent since this is a taco stand but when food is this good, service is excellent and it is dirt cheap, just shut and enjoy as we did :)

    Is this place still open? I have tried to eat here multiple times over the last few weeks and the outdoor tent and everything is gone. Tried calling but no one ever answers.

    So I searched all the comments and found one from the owner that was posted on 9/7/19. He said, "We are opening our first new sit down restaurant and is now under construction at 420 E Southern Ave #107, Mesa, AZ 85204"… Read more

    I was looking for a quick lunch spot on my way out of the valley to golf in Gold Canyon and saw…read morethis place on Yelp with the great reviews. Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

Our…read moreserver said they were the only one working tonight and that they'd take care of us, and they sure did. The parking lot outside was parking so we thought we may have to wait, but inside was not busy yet and we were seated immediately. I ordered the smoked chicken enchilada as I saw it was a Yelp favorite and it was delicious. I ended up taking half of it home since we all filled up on chips and salsa before our meal. This restaurant is decorated so cutely. I love how there is a Baja influence with all the surf boards but also southwest appeal. There is plenty of seating and tables for big groups. Even with other people yapping around us, the noise level was perfect to enjoy company. 10/10 would recommend.

Everything tasted amazing and was served fresh and in a timely manner. We will most certainly be back (and you should visit, too!)!

Atmosphere is modern Latin good vibes and based on the libations area my guess this place gets pretty slammed on weekends., Service 10/5 We had the pleasure having Lesi as our server. She was prompt, attentive and very polite. Lesi took time to answer questions including some off menu options. We ordered the Hefe fajitas steak chimichangas and the Chipotle Albondiga soup and cheese crisp. Food 5/5 First the cheese crisp was the best we've had. Thin crust browned perfectly and the perfect cheese blend. The soups was very nice as well. The Hefe chimichangas was ginormous with great fajitas steak and stir fried vegetables. Delicious leftovers. Both locations impressed. Thank-you Lesi! $51.18 and $20 cash tip for outstanding service we told your Mgr about. Nando's my friends and if you visit this location ask for Lesi-SYOY!
