This innovative dish, for a Mexican place, was based with a yellow rice mixed with the tender chicken, mixed (basic) vegetables, and freshly-cooked green peppers, broccoli, onions and mushrooms. For style and taste, fresh tomatoes and avocado slices were on the edges of the plate. The sauce was mildly salty with a light soy and green chili taste - held together with thick gooey Monterrey cheese. I enjoyed this the richness of this dish. My eating partner had the Polle Mole (pun). This was chicken breast in a dark mole sauce, with the earthiness of chocolate and some sweetness to bring out the flavor. Unexpectedly good eating. Yay!

Their beans are vegetarian and they use canola oil to cook their meals. We shared Mexican pizza with shrimp 10 out of 10, light, flaky and full of flavor.

I do love Mexican food and try any place that I run across…read more I've been to this location three times and was satisfied for the most part. The first time I went, I got a combination platter with a Chile Relleno, enchilada, and taco with rice and beans. I honestly wasn't impressed with the flavors. All the items seemed pretty basic to be honest and my taco shell was a little burnt. But I decided to give another couple tries. The second time I went, I got the fajita steak taco salad. That was much better. Last but definitely not least I went and got there green chili burrito. Now that was something delicious. I would definitely go back for that dish. Amazing green sauce. They also have really good chips and salsa. It's a small place with good service. It's been busy every time I've been there so that must be a good sign. Anyway, give it a try sometime.

This is a little spot right off the highway on the way to our from Flagstaff to Phoenix. I've passed it many times and often wondered, and I am pleasantly surprised. It wasn't crowded when we went there, but I can see that it probably is at times. We had a quick bite to eat, and it was very enjoyable. It's nice to have an actually good restaurant right off the freeway went off. Those are the ones that are just good enough to fill your tummy. The food was good because in my experience whenever I have great tasting Mexican food, I do get a little indigestion lately and I did hear as well, but don't take it as an indication that the food is bad. It was very nice and I will be back.

Our server gave the impression that we were more of an inconvenience than valued customers, which made the meal less enjoyable. As for the food, it was edible, but that's about the best I can say. Everything was very bland and lacked the flavor and quality we were hoping for. It feels like the restaurant may be relying on the fact that there isn't much local competition, which can sometimes lead to less attention being paid to service and food quality. We always hope to support local businesses, but this experience fell well short of our expectations. Hopefully they'll make some improvements in the future.

I was seated quickly for lunch. I ordered my go to food. Chile relleno, cheese enchilada, and taco with rice and beans. Nothing was good. The taco had no flavor, enchilada was the same.

Soooo, I would guess the place may get busy on weekends perhaps? The food was your average Mexican-American Cuisine and the prices were the same as much larger or nicer establishments, but since I think its the only Mexican restaurant around for miles, they have the market cornered. The Chimi was pretty small (should have known since it was only $4) but the burrito I ordered was the expected. The margaritas were good but the chips and salsa did not include bean dip as mentioned by another reviewer. Guess they stopped doing that. My suggestion to the management: advertise some happy hour specials and offer them daily. This will at least bring in SOME business. You are on a major thoroughfare; utilize this to your advantage. You will attract plenty of locals along with several travelers (like myself) in need of refreshment and a decent meal.

The waitress was great, continuous refills on drinks, chips and salsa. After sitting down you get a great big basket of chips, two salsas, pico and bean dip. The chicken burrito and the chicken enchilada suiza was stuffed with chicken - no skimping on the meat here. The margs were fair - not the best I have ever had but after a day of hiking tasted wonderful. The only thing not recommended is the grilled cheese - but hey it is a Mexican restaurant what can you expect :)

I walked in to pick up a phone order, gave the hostess the name, and she literally looked me up and down, said nothing, and walked away. She walked past me again a few minutes later and still didn't bother to say a word, not "we're working on it," not "it'll be a few minutes," nothing. We were just standing there wondering if we were invisible. Another employee eventually came out with my order and was very nice, so clearly a little basic customer service isn't too much to ask. The food was great, but because of that interaction, I won't be going back. Good food can only go so far when the welcome is that cold.

The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, with only one other table ahead of us. We were asked to seat ourselves, and after a few minutes our waitress brought chips and salsa and took our drink order. About 10 minutes later, we placed our food order: a chicken quesadilla, chicken enchiladas, and a chicken enchilada/taco combo. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. After waiting nearly 45 minutes for our food, the table that had arrived before us had already finished their meal and was paying their bill. By that point, we had run out of chips and salsa. The salsa itself was disappointing as well, tasting more like plain tomato sauce than fresh salsa. Our waitress then informed us that they had run out of chicken and were cooking more. We understand that things happen, and we appreciated being told, so we agreed to wait a little longer after being assured the food would be ready in about 10 minutes. A little over 10 minutes later, our food arrived. The chicken quesadilla was cold, while the enchiladas and combo plate were very hot. The enchiladas themselves were disappointing. Rather than traditional rolled enchiladas, they seemed to be folded tortillas with a small amount of fatty dark-meat chicken, covered in sauce and cheese. The texture and presentation weren't what we expected, and the tortillas seemed stale. We understand that restaurants can have off days and that running out of ingredients isn't always avoidable. What left us most disappointed was that there was little acknowledgment of the long wait or the issues with the meal. A simple apology or effort to address the situation would have gone a long way. We were hoping to find a local spot we could come back to regularly, but unfortunately this visit didn't leave us with that impression.
