Oh my gosh!!!! You have got to try this place!! I usually say "give them a try" but Goyitas has AMAZING flavors! I want to live with this salsa! I am taking some home and luckily this place is close to my house so I can get more anytime I run out!!! I had the carnitas tacos and the flavors are the best I have had since moving back to the area. We love El Patio and Manuel's but Goyitas takes heat to the next level in the red sauces! Great beer, fast service, centrally located, and lots of seating. The place is industrial chic with lots of windows. Poor Taco Bell in the parking lot has got to be feeling the heat. Hubby had a beef burrito with Christmas sauce meaning red and green split and I have got to tell you, I wish I had done that too! My carnitas tacos were delicious but the tortillas fell apart which I hate. His ground beef burrito was wonderful from end to end with the two sauces. The chips and salsa will keep me on the week to week visit!! You have got to give this place a try!! You will not be sorry. Jazmine is sweet, attentive, and smiling all the time! read more

Recommend: Yes. Pros: One of the BEST modernized, and decorated, sports bar/sit-down, restaurants I've seen in the local Tucson/Sahuarita area that creates an open, spacious feel with numerous overhead T.V.s and spacious seating including a 'party' room in the back for larger groups. Goyitas is a family ran business and the restaurant is truly, very appealing with a beautifully decorated interior, clean, reasonably sized outdoor seating that's styled for the holidays and very well presented throughout the establishment. A highly upscaled, modernized take on New Mexican/southwestern specials that specialize in these categories; here's a brief take on their offerings. - Taco Plates such as the Chicken or Ground Beef Tacos plate, served with a side of rice and beans. -Flautas Plate which includes two rolled corn tortilla flautas stuffed with your choice of chicken or shredded beef, topped with sour cream, guacamole, and cheese, served with rice and beans. -Chile Relleno Plate which comes with two chile rellenos, rice, beans, and a tortilla. -Enchilada Style Burrito (a lunch special) smothered in red or green chile with your choice of chicken or beef, served with rice or beans. -Rolled Cheese Enchiladas (available à la carte). Now once you DO decide on what entree you want to order up, (there's a hefty, two-sided laminated menu that will take you some time to get through), they have a wonderful in house Shuffleboard you can play while waiting that is a nice touch for people to gather around and socialize with. Unfortunately, I'm not able to discern the if style of food here being classified as New Mexican was or is specific cuisine that you would identify with comes from that geographic location per se when compared to the many other reviews, but for my party of 20 people we just thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine as presented. What mattered to us was the quality of the food, preparedness, taste etc.. Goyitas worked to feed a party of 20 extremely quickly. All meals were well presented, not hot, but very warm and only a few had 'take home' bags, as every plate was otherwise devoured! The plates were FULL of food and the added side samples of flavored sauces were a delicious touch in addition to the hot chips and salsa presented upon first sitting down. Our meal was primarily an end of year dinner/collaboration and it went perfectly at Goyitas and notably, the Service/Staff were always present and courteous. No one mentioned anything dissatisfying, so from a group of 20, the meals were absolutely on point in our opinion! Sahuarita and Green Valley suffer for not having a variety of sit down restaurants and It was absolutely a pleasant place to have a large gathering. We really enjoyed the presentation and delivery here even getting to speak with the owner, Jose. A lot of effort has gone into this restaurant's appeal, build and menu so I would say, it will certainly stay on our list of local restaurants to return too! Please come check it out and see for yourself! read more

Food, Service and ambiance were very pleasing From the outside it looks like a normal strip mall - then the magic happens when you come through the gates. We were greeted right away - ordered a couple drinks and waitress was very on point with coming back and checking on us. Food has actual flavor and chips and salsa were on point. I ordered the enchilada style burrito with what they called Christmas with red and green sauce (delicious). Red sauce has some bite to it so if you can't handle spice go with the green sauce. My wife ordered carnitas tacos and they were delicious as well. Lots of flavor - our perfect service came from Jazmine. Thank you read more

Very good food in a sports bar environment. It was nice to watch the U of A basketball game during dinner. The server was attentive and wanted to make sure everyone had the food correctly as ordered. Be aware that the nacho fries use potato wedges as that was unexpected from our group. The flautas were fantastic! read more

This was our first time dining here. The wait to be seated was lengthy and the waitress who seated us seemed preoccupied. Once seated it took about 20 minutes to place our order. It appeared that they were short staffed. One we order, it sometime before we were served. The food was pretty good. The decor was eye pleasing. I felt we spent to much time waiting on seating, ordering our drinks/food. Overall, it was an ok experience. Would we come here again - not likely. read more

Haven't had great and flavorful Mexican food like this in a while. Had the steak burrito and it was to die for. Service was excellent and the servers were very friendly. The restaurant is opened and great for kids as well. Casual atmosphere and airy ambiance. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Service was excellent very friendly and brought us everything we needed. Food was a bit bland and one noted and you didn't get much for the price. Chips were good salsas were ok a bit spicy but I like it that way. Sopapillas weren't so tasty but green sauce was good and not salty needed beans and more of everything inside the sopapillas. We might come back to bring our sons. Try something else. read more

I was waited on as soon as I walked through the doors; it was so colorful inside. A lot more room than I expected inside. I can not handle spicy, I need mild. First dish I ordered was too spicy to eat and waiter gladly suggested I replaced so I decided on a taco. It was filling. read more

My hubby didn't like it but he's a meat and potato guy or burger and fries, so to have New Mexico type Mexican he did not like it. I liked the salsas! read more

Came here on a weeknight around 6:30. Wasn't too busy. Has a sports bar type vibe is large and very open which I liked. The server was good and asked us if we had been here before which we hadn't. She brought out the different sauces to try with chips which was nice. Sauces were good but reds were spicy. Highly recommend tasting the sauces first if you don't like spice. Queso fundido was excellent and the tortillas were homemade. All of our dinners were excellent and definitely a place to add on our list when we are down here. Some people complain about service in other reviews and I can sense that if they get busy. Sauces are a bit hot so I would recommend tasting before ordering as it seems some folks that are posting don't like heat. I enjoyed them all. read more

The tables and chairs are metal and Formica, so they are not really designed for relaxed meals, more for catching a quick meal and leaving. The food is fine, but nothing at all special. The draw is supposed to be the Hatch, NM chiles, but they are not really presented boldly in the menu. Price is comparable to other Mexican spots in Green valley, but the portions are quite a bit smaller. All in all, I wouldn't plan to go back. read more

Went for the first time today. I had the two burritos with steak and potatoes with avocado. It was really tasty. The tortillas were nice and fresh. Really enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and it was a nice evening. read more

Fantastic food! I truly felt like I was back in Santa Fe. The red and green sauces were excellent. I had the shredded beef stacked enchiladas "Christmas Style" (both sauces), and they were delicious. The beans were especially good, though I added a little extra spice to the rice. My husband had a combination plate with tacos, enchiladas, and a chile relleno, and he loved everything. Our server, Vanessa, was attentive and friendly. Drinks came out quickly and were very good. It was also refreshing to dine in a Mexican restaurant with tasteful décor instead of the usual overly themed style. Overall, a wonderful experience -- we'll definitely be back! read more

Good food, fair priced and good service. The server was attentive but not smothering. Food was served without delay.

We went about 1:00 PM. The restaurant was not busy at all. We were offered a sample of the sauces. The service was very good and attentive. The food was good as well. The atmosphere wasn't much to look at, but we were not there for the ambience. I would return to Goyitas. read more

Great ambiance, sort of a sports bar feel. Lots of room. Waitresses were friendly and helpful. The owner came over to see how we were doing; and if the food was up to our expectations. The green chili is fantastic, just a bit of heat. The red chili is hotter. Everything they make is very good. All of the meat is tender, the salsa very flavorful. We especially like the New Style green Chile chicken enchiladas, the green burritos, and the combination plates. We sampled their holiday green and red tamales and liked them so much we purchased a dozen to take home! This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in Pima County. read more

Taste like home. Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Perfect! I got a tour of the kitchen, amazingly clean! Very impressive. read more

Tried Goyitas for the first time tonight and sampled most of the menu. My biggest hope is that no one remotely associates this to authentic New Mexico food. Heat does not make it New Mexico, and New Mexico does not always equal heat. It's the flavor. It's the smells. Our waitress was awesome. Helping us navigate the menu and even brought samples of some of the sauces to try along with chips and salsa. We started with the chile cheese dip, which looked great with large chunks of green chile and onion. Ended up being a greasy dish of melted shredded cheese with chiles that were unnoticeable through the cheese. I tried the chile rellenos, which is a staple for a New Mexico style restaurant. They were not cooked through, very tough, and hard to cut. The charring on the chiles tasted more like cigarette ash than roasted. The chiles had some heat, but the red sauce poured over was just hot red chile with little to no seasoning. And the cheese was almost non-existent. The gorditas had a nice corn cake, but the ground beef seemed flavored only with black pepper. And the "gordita sauce" was flavorless. Others at the table had New Mexico style chicken enchiladas. They were good with the green sauce preferred. One made the mistake of asking for the sauce Chriatmas style. While the green was good and had a nice heat, the re made the dish al.ost inedible. I love heat and have cried my way through many authentic New Mexico dishes as a badge of courage because they are just so damn good. Goyitas did not deliver this. Before you think poorly of New Mexico style food based on what Goyitas serves, drive the distance to Poco and Mom's in Tucson. read more

First time at this place and will add it to our list when we are in the area. The food was fantastic. We had the red chile with pork and the small combination platter (a shredded beef taco, chile rellano, and cheese enchilada). The pork was very tender and the red chile was flavorful and spicy. The taco had a great crunch with tender beef and the right amount of fixings on top. The enchilada was delicious and cheesy with a red chile beef sauce that had the right amount of heat. The rellano was tender, stuffed with cheese, and had a crispy coating. Too many times, rellanos have a lot of batter and you can't find the pepper. This was not the case here so the taste of the pepper shown through. We were also pleasantly surprised how great the refried beans were. Usually, they are just relegated as an accompaniment but these were wonderful. Not too thick, not too thin, not too smooth, and with a hint of smoke. Best we've ever had. The place was busy but we were served drinks and salsa and chips soon after seated. The staff is friendly and checked on us often. We appreciated our server bringing a sampling of sauces to try and it was helpful in deciding how spicy we wanted to go. That was pretty unique. If you find yourself in the area and hungry for delicious New Mexico food, this is your place to go. read more

Goyitas - Red chile with pork and small combination platter (shredded beef taco, cheese enchilada, and chile rellano) both with refried beans. - Mexican Near Me - Sahuarita, Arizona

Possibly could nitpick over speed of service but it was a busy Friday evening...great flavors and great heat. Love this place.

Grandma is actually cooking, and she makes it SPICY so be prepared. Ask to sample the sauce like it says on the menu. You order it, you're paying for it, and I totally understand. It's New Mexico cuisine - so don't expect typical Tucson food. The restaurant is clean and casual, and the staff is friendly. I didn't like seeing back of the house stuff like the soda syrup boxes, otherwise it's nice. Not a strip mall joint, the lighting is mellow, the plates are actually plates. My husband had the best chile relleno I've ever tasted. I had the potato gorditas and they were fresh and delicious. The rice and beans were seasoned but not hot spicy. Nothing was bland. I wish they waited to bring out our plates at the same time because that's awkward waiting to eat to be polite. It's a small infraction, but the fresh tortillas made up for it. We will definitely go back. read more

The food was not good , I got a salad with steak and the steak was super hard like a rock. The cucumbers in the salad had a bad taste probably old. As soon as I went out the door I started burping really bad. I got home and throw up. First and last time that I go to that place. read more

This is New Mexican food. It's different from the traditional. I really like it and every time I go the staff is always great. The food is great but this last time you can tell that the food is in smaller quantities and the price has gone up. Probably similar to many restaurants now. read more

This place is newer. I saw complaints of service being slow, but this wasn't my experience. Our server, Miranda, was wonderful attentive, and food came to us in under 15 minutes. I had the shredded beef taco plate. Beans were great, the tacos were filled just right, and the flavor was there. My husband ordered Chili con Carne. The red sauce is very hot. They do offer a green sauce that is much more mild. The ambiance definitely needs to be worked on, as it is extremely lacking warmth and decor. Hopefully, they will work on that soon because it has potential. read more

I went to Goyita's today and the service was AMAZING! The food is incredible and very traditional. But you have to make sure you like spice. Because the food is very spicy with marvelous flavors! I would recommend Goyitas it is now my favorite restaurant! read more

First time at this restaurant. As a former restaurant owner, I hold the bar very high. This visit was 5 star. I ordered a chili relleno/cheese enchilada combo. Both were absolutely delicious and so much better than any others here in the area. Unique, authentic flavors. My server was Brandi--she was wonderful, everything you want in a waitress--polite, attentive and extremely accommodating. Great job, Brandi. There are at least 3 more Mexican restaurants in the area that will have to up their game to compete with this new arrival, read more

Really enjoyed the food and delicious chili and sauces. We were given a sample plate with 4 different ones. Hatch chilis were fire roasted and excellently prepared into sauces and chili. Sopapilos were almost pillow size! Inside was a sports bar vibe but not loud. We will definitely return for authentic, delicious New Mexican meals and for happy hour on outside patio with our pup. Even a happy hour menu for munching while enjoying cocktails. read more

My 1st time here yesterday and will be definitely going back!! We got the Gorditas appetizer and everything on the plate was AMAZING... ordered the ground beef RED Chile enchilada and again was not disappointed but if you're not use to spicy heat do not order the red sauce....but will be returning place was delicious!! read more

Pretty Good Food (improved but still needs help - it is a far cry from typical tasteless Sonoran garbage though), Super Service, but nope, way too much noise as the Ambiance is like eating in an empty warehouse. Not comfortable seats, not good atmosphere. Really nice people, but it's just not very pleasent in there. I'll go back because it is still the closest thing I can find to what real NM cuisine is - meaning that it's still the best mexican food anywhere in Pima County. read more

Took over an hour and the burgers were cold and the chicken fajitas were rubbery would not recommend this place instead try the place next door read more

Ate there tonight. Took almost an hour to get our food. Husband had fajitas which he said were very good $23.95. I had a chicken chimichanga with rice & beans. $16.95 but she offered a sauce which they charged $3.00 for. It wasn't good, took a tiny taste, didn't use it. I assumed it came with, until I was charged $19.25. Very expensive and slow service. Ist time there, we won't go back...Server was very nice.. read more

Goyitas - Small combination plate!! Chicken taco, green enchilada and chile relleno. So good!! - Mexican Near Me - Sahuarita, Arizona

We were happy to find this restaurant. We are from New Mexico and have found that most "Mexican" food in the area around Tucson is bland at best. At Goyitas, the chiles have some kick and some flavor. We like both their red chile sauce and their green sauce. The refried beans are good too. Their skinny Margarita is really good--not too sweet, and the drinks are inexpensive compared to other restaurants around. The surroundings are pleasant, although it's in a strange place (the side of an Ashley furniture store). There are plenty of tvs mounted around the bar if you are into the sports bar scene. The service was prompt and friendly. read more

They've been open about two months now. Service is great. Got seated right away. Food was excellent. Rice and beans both very tasty. Had Sopapillas for dessert and they were perfect. Two concerns. #1 Still no alcohol, but the license is approved and they are stocking up to open the bar "soon" in a week or so. #2 The place used to be a sports bar???? and still looks like it. Needs some New Mexican flavor decorations and colors, maybe a row of booths, as it lacks decor. Glad they are settled into a good routine now. Opening was a rough start; long waits and poor service. That's resolved now. read more

I've had 1 meal @this new New Mexican cuisine restaurant in Gren Valley, Az. They're still somewhat disorganized and have not gotten their liquor yet. They don't have any fish or seafood on the menu, but they do offer a delicious green chile clam chowder. The server suggested a small combo which included 1 each, taco, chile rellano, and enchilada. Refried beans & a tiny portion of rice. The quantity was good, but the taste was merely o.k. I will go back in a few weeks to give them the chance to smooth out the wrinkles. read more

Just opened 2 weeks ago. Closed Monday and Sunday. Large dining area and bar but no liquor license yet . Food is good but I think El Patio (one minute walk west) is better. read more

Just had dinner with my wife at Goyita's in Sahuarita. A very pleasant experience, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and no sooner than we were seated we were introduced to Brandy our server. She took our drink order and brought us chips and salsa. The chips are clearly house made and the salsa was tasty with a nice level of heat. She returned a couple of minutes to take our dinner order, wife ordered the steak fajitas and I ordered the small combination plate. The steak fajitas were fantastic, the steak was super tender and the veg had a nice char on them, the Taco, chili telling and enchilada on my plate were outstanding, oh and charro beans were nice as well. The house made corn tortillas were absolutely delicious. read more

Tried this place a year ago and it left a lot to be desired. Decided to give it a second chance... horrible. I lived in NM and this place doesn't even compare to NM cuisine. The green chile dip... microwaved cheddar cheese with flavorless chopped green chiles and onion in it. Terrible service, they hardly acknowledge you when you walk in the door. And there was only 3 other customers in the restaurant. Waitress didn't bring us chips and salsa. The Goyitas in Oro Valley was 100x better, I'm not sure why this location falls short but will not be back. read more

First, it's definitely different than the regular Mexican restaurant. The owner seem completely into giving the best service, explaining the different salsa's and the Iron grill steak was cooked perfect. Fork cutting tender. Now that we have a better idea, we're going to take some friends after new years read more

The place is amazing! The carne asada is so tender and beans are so yummy! I loved the Gordita sampler, the potatoes was my favorite
