Saudero tacos (a brisket confit suadero tacos with a chile jam, aguacate, serrano cruda, toasted sesame, fresnos and micro cilantro) We sat on the patio for a wonderful AZ spring evening.

I was craving pupusas and platanos con crema y frijoles for my granddaughter…read more As I picked up the menu, I noticed they did not have "prices" on the menu. Then I asked the lady how much were the pupusas. She said, $4.50 for beans and cheese and revueltas only. Now, I know that everyone blames the economy but really, these small pupusas and not enough beans on the platano dish and she is charging me $26.00 for 3 bean and cheese pupusas and the platano dish and then charges me a fee to use y debit card without telling me there is a fee. I'm visiting from California and I haven't paid $4.50 for a pupusa in Cali yet. I don't recommend this place .....sorry.

I cannot say enough good things about out the restaurant, the food, and especially the people. Waiting for the brick and mortar to reopen hasn't been too bad since I can still come here and get everything that makes for a fantastic experience. I'm f you've never been you should go and if you've been, but not to the truck, give it a try. I think you'll be as happy as I am that I came by. Enjoy!

I guess we officially got baptized as Arizonians now!…read more This place was great -- everything tasted incredibly fresh. We tried quite a bit of food, but somehow didn't leave feeling heavy or overly full, which honestly says a lot about how fresh everything is and how it's prepared. It's definitely not fancy design-wise, at least not yet. It looks like they may still be finishing or building out the new restaurant. But that really didn't matter once the food came out. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and the whole meal felt like getting a little taste of Mexico right here in Arizona. We'll definitely be back

The entire restaurant seems void of cilantro which I know is a love or hate ingredient, but is a staple in Hispanic dishes. Everything from guacamole to the flautas needed it. Guacamole was delicious, but expensive for what you get ($19). As a vegan, you are VERY limited in what you can order. Guacamole and two salads without cheese and the potato flautas without cheese. Very meh. We only ate here because we were staying at the hotel and assuming beans and vegetables would be plentiful in the dishes. Wrong. We left hungry. Service was very good though. Matthew was our server. We had come here for a birthday and were seated at a small two top in a very busy area. It wasn't relaxing, intimate, or enjoyable. So many other good places to dine in Phoenix. One and done for me.

They'll also validate parking at the garage. We came for dinner before a show at the Mortgage Matchup Arena (which is just a quick 0.5 mile walk over). Happened to hit happy hour, which was just a few dollar savings, but nice. We tried the following: -Empanada Pabellon with Pernil: loved the plantains inside mixed the pork! -Empanada Colombiana Beef: good -Pollo and mango tostones: the tostones itself were a bit tough to chew on -Ceviche mixto: I've never had fried calamari with ceviche but it was nice and refreshing mixed with it! -Piña Tiradito: presentation was lovely and tasted just as great! I can never taste the fruit or make out the flavors for ciders and I'm a sucker for anything guava so was excited for the Sazon guava hibiscus cider, and while it was nice, sadly couldn't make out the flavors. Overall, cute space with bites to share and we'll be back as the burritos sounded good as well.

It's in a relatively abandoned strip mall and If you drive too fast you could miss it, I'm not sure you can even see it from the street, you kind of have to know it's there and MAN do people know!!!' By the time we left it was hopping! Lots of regulars you could tell. Staff was very nice, restroom clean and well stocked. Ambiance? Cute island minimalism! FOOD Had to start with the empanadas which were soo good and great flavor in the meat, I LOVE Cuban sandwiches but have failed to find a halfway decent one in Arizona. When we were in Miami and Key West I ate my weight in Cuban sandwiches so that's my gold standard! This one is just as good if not better! Advised it was big but we each ordered one anyway and big is an understatement they were huge! Roasted pork delicious and juicy, ham and Swiss. Just the right about of mustard not to overpower it and the right amount of pickles to also enhance but not overpower the flavor. The Cuban bread DELICIOUS! For 12 dollars it was two meals and a small snack for me. I'd say that's a heck of a deal ! We are already planning a trip out west to go back !
