    Through the years I will have to admit this is probably my favorite Mexican food restaurant in the valley. As for rating, I almost never give 5 stars but, this is a 3-1/2 - 4 stars. Considering the service, it can be slow and a little neglectful to check back on you, this is what brings my rating down. The food and people are great.

    Best salsa in town. By far my favorite Mexican food. I recommend the chicken chimichanga.

    Good food. Be cautious when ordering; they charge extra for some things. Always busy, but the service is good.

    This is a solid place for some Mexican food in Safford. I find myself visiting Los Jilbertos a few…read moretimes a week when working at the Morenci Mine. So far I've had a few of their breakfast burritos and their tortas. The breakfast burritos are so big that they're often a breakfast/lunch burrito. Can't go wrong with a carne asada or carnitas burrito. The torta is a traditional Mexican sandwich in a soft loaf of bread (similar consistency to Hawaiian bread). These are an amazing dinner... Again, can't go wrong with a carne asada or carnitas torta. The bread is lightly toasted making the sandwich a great combination of textures and flavors. Keep in mind, they are CASH ONLY. Also, their full menu is available 24/7.

Same person every…read moretime asks if I don't want potato's, nice lady but I've been ordering a steak with eggs and cheese for about 20 years and never had an issue until she started working there. When ordering, I always say no but she always asks, which is fine but this time she didn't. In fact she remembered me and the 2nd item I always get, a cup of carne asada for my dog I always bring with me, which is great on her customer service. I figured she'd remember how I like my burro as well. But my complaint is that the breakfast burros literally tell you on the menu which ones have potato and the steak egg and cheese does not. I ended up getting potato's in my burro. All other people running the register the last 20 years had never done this. I never want them because 3/4 of the burro always ends up as potato. I tried calling just to let them know but no answer hence the review I'd normally never leave. Steak egg and cheese should not have potato's unless requested.

I ordered the Carne Asada burrito and it comes plain so I added the pico de gallo for like $.50 which I thought was a great deal. I asked for lemon or lime and they don't have any. Cindy took care of me and she was really sweet so of course I gave her a tip at the register where I ordered. She brought me chips and a salsa. The salsa was not hot at all. It's more of a tomato with a very slight, and I do mean SLIGHT spice/seasoning. There was a seven-year-old little girl sitting on the table behind me and even she said it was not spicy. I wish the burrito meat had been fresh, but mine was old tasting, dry and hard - and definitely needed seasoning. Inside is nice and there's plenty of seating. I think my favorite thing was that the salt shaker was clean. This place stays really busy.

    A little local trivia for anyone who remembers: back in the '90s, this building was a dry cleaner…read morewhere my parents used to drop off their clothes. Fast forward to post-COVID, and it's been transformed into something completely different: Fancy Pizzeria, run by a family with a clear passion for what they do, complete with an oven imported from Italy. Anytime someone says Safford needs a Chili's, I cringe... not because I don't like Chili's, but because good help is hard to find in a small town. The owners here seem to understand that, keeping things lean and hands-on with very little hired help. As a result, the service from the husband-and-wife team is genuinely great... though when it gets busy, things can slow down. I've experienced that firsthand, and walked out once a couple years ago after a long wait...but I came back, and I'm glad I did. The food is, simply put, amazing. The pizza has that perfect charred crust you usually only find in bigger cities or on the East Coast. The Italian sodas are excellent. I've yet to try anything, from appetizers to pasta dishes, that didn't hit the mark. Prices are a bit higher than most spots in town, but the quality absolutely justifies it when it's in the budget. I've heard the name "Fancy Pizzeria" was intentional: they wanted to set the expectation that this isn't your typical greasy pizza joint... and they deliver on that, consistently. The dining area has expanded quite a bit recently, and the decor is creative and unique, with many of the dishes and utensils sourced from local thrift shops. All in all, this place stands out in Safford in the best way. I genuinely love everything about it and hope they can continue to operate in the years to come!

    I tried coming here earlier in the week, but the hours were wrong, we finally got that corrected so…read morethe listed hours are correct now! I stopped by another day and got a cheese pizza with pepperoni and bell peppers and got an acactus drink. The drink wasn't bad, it was a nice bit of sweetness for my drive home! The pizza may have parts of the crust black, but it DID NOT taste burnt at all! I really got hooked after trying my second slice. The dough is really good! Was the perfect size ;) the owner is very polite and a great conversationalist! I think she's the owner anyways! I got to sit on their comfy benches while waiting for the pizza to bake. The site is closed from 2pm - 4pm.. if you are 20-30 minutes short... I think it's worth the wait! :). Great place, even greater vibes!!

    Well We'll Well! Me & My Wife went to El Coronado this morning for Breakfast…read more I guess if I had to rate this restaurant on a scale of 1-10 (10 being Excellent), I'd give them a high 3. Customer service isn't the best. For the most part, the Waitresses are friendly and they really try, although they seem to get overwhelmed when busy. Not their fault. The cooks don't help as they are very slow! Be prepared for an extended wait ‍ it's Safford. Not many choices in town to get great service. Now the food isn't bad. Great Steak Picado & Eggs - Tacos are very good. Their Green Enchiladas (Chicken - Beef - or Cheese) are delicious. They do have Menudo on the weekends ( 4 out of 10) - just expect an extended wait when you visit, if you're lucky enough to get a table ‍‍ sometimes I just choose to walk out and take my chances at one of the two places in town to eat breakfast at! I've shared my customer concerns with management, but they don't seem to care ‍ Plus they frequently close down for the weekend ànd/or close either at 12 noon or 2/3 pm.

They have a huge screen TV at the back of the restaurant and a nice large bar, as well as the seating area. high tops as well as regular tables. This place is really big inside! Seems really perfect for a lot of people and all the staff seem happy. The server who took care of me as I walked inside was really nice. I didn't want to sit at the table that she chose and she gladly allowed me to sit wherever I wanted to. I'm not in a rush so I sat over towards the wall where I could see the TV screens. One of the things that I really like is they have condiments at each of the tables, which was convenient. I chose the fresh hand cut fries and I've been really wanting fresh zucchini, Amber assured me that it was Hand-battered and fresh so I'm hoping that that will be good. It's really comfortable in here and cool. Nice music, perfect volume. I'm so tempted to have a cocktail, but I'm not sure. The zucchini came out super fast and super hot! You can absolutely tell that they were just hand-battered and fresh. I like all the little crispies too. The zucchini is really hot and a very light breading. It's really hard nowadays to find like fresh fried zucchini. I really liked it! The ranch is good too! There's a whole vibe in here and it's really positive!! The staff was attentive to people walking in, it was really nice to see considering my experience 30 minutes prior. I like the amount of veggies on the burger,Lots of fries. I got a lunch special, it was a great deal with my drink included. Amber took care of me and she was very attentive, friendly and shared a little bit of history with me. Servers matter. She took great care of me! She informed me this building was a Golden Corral where the current owner worked in his youth, later buying the building and turning it into JDs Grill. This visit was a win, definitely giving it a thumbs up and I am excited to come back and try their bone-in Wings! They do have happy hour specials and I absolutely do recommend the fried zucchini! The outside Sitting area seems nice, but I think I'll wait until it cools down to visit out there! Overall, it was a nice experience and they may be doing something for the Justin Gaethje fight Celebration that will be coming up here this year! Stay tuned!

My only complaint was I paid cash and was given change for the credit card price. I didn't get the 63 cents discount. Small issue but annoying. I wasn't going to bother her for the change. I left all that I received for her tip. Will I return? probably not, the menu was not that intriguing to me and the atmosphere was typical sports bar and a bit dark.
