    Popped in before attending the concert for food and drinks. We sat at the bar and were immediately attended to. I had a marg and the spicy shrimp which I found to be tasty. This place is conveniently located on Mill next to everything. Definitely give the a try if you're in the area.

    Crunchy Tacos Plate & Chips & Salsa
    Tricia S.

    Food was great and staff was friendly. Location was easy to find, only paid parking nearby. Parking is close by, pay by QR code or app. Crunchy Taco Plate was delish .. a little pricey ($17) for 2 tacos but it was filling. Mexi rice was the perfect side for it. The chips and salsa were free (1st round) but salsa didn't have much flavor and was watery. Lots of TV screens to catch a game or two.

    Service was okay, loved the buffalo shrimp. Great place to watch sports games, they put on what we asked for. Lots of tvs, the food wasn't insane or anything but it's definitely not a spot i would avoid. It was all good/okay. HUGE margaritas!!!

    Randomly decided to pop in one night on Mill Ave because I was CRAVING some tacos. I believe they do provide you with a round of chips and salsa and the menu is pretty big. I ended up getting two tacos with rice and refried beans. The food was absolutely delish. But the service was terrible. I mean the food took so long and we barely got our waters refilled. I was super hungry so maybe I could've been hangry too. But I mean the service was so slow I thought I server went home . Anyway, this place still gets 4 starts because the food was awesome and the prices are good as well. I definitely go back when I'm less hungry to see if my experience is less dramatic haha

    Okay, our first meal since driving from Las Vegas to here! Quality/Quantity - Complimentary Chips and Salsa - It was okay/good, but we were warned to not fill up as they give generous portions here. Bowl of Tortilla Soup - This was just okay, but my wife enjoyed it. She is a soup person and this winter air was a perfect day for it. Steak Sizzling Fajitas and The Sides - I shared with my wife. Generous portions. More than enough for us two, Smothered Burrito Grande - Our guest's order and I was impressed he finished this but not surprised. Generous portions, and it was obviously good as this was the first restaurant our guest took us to. Two Enchiladas - Can you believe my daughter finished this by herself!? So it must have been good. I felt it was a huge portion, plus all the sides! And to wash it all down: Our guest did not even know that they brewed their own beers here, so I guess he will come even more often now. AZ Amber - My usual "red," always good. And with a lime. 101 Wheat - Surprised my guest chose such a light beer, maybe we wanted to make a good first impression on me...? But he knows I/we are heavy drinkers?!?! Loco Gold Sample - Good, but my Amber was better. I enjoyed your Mexican craft beers; it was slightly different from other craft breweries. Lots of promotions, happy hour, etc. See website or my pictures. Atmosphere - Good size location. Cool decor. Both indoor and outdoor spaces. I especially like the indoor/outdoor bar seating, see pictures. Lots of TVs for viewing. Semi open kitchen. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 2am. Their website's and Yelp's hours differ slightly. Not sure about the parking situation as we walked here. Service - Good. Price - $83 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2004 with your 4 locations. Congrats on your success at this location since 2013.

    Smothered Burrito Grande

    A solid option for casual dining and affordable drinks, conveniently located on Mill Avenue. The restaurant features both outdoor seating and a spacious indoor bar, creating a lively and accommodating atmosphere. The food is enjoyable and reasonably priced, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the visit. I would recommend stopping by to explore their happy hour offerings.

    House Guacamole & Chips
    Courtney H.

    Really enjoyed it here! There are a ton of TVs so it would be great to go and watch a game. They also had the sound on for the games so it was a good game environment if you wanted to watch a big game there. First we got the guacamole and chips. It was really good. Much chunkier than a normal guac and had some heat. But I still really like it. I then go the crunch tacos plate because it was their specialty. DELICIOUS. It was so good. Every part of it. Highly recommend. It also comes with two sides which is nice.

    Nachos
    Steve O.

    Very busy, lively atmosphere during the art festival in Tempe...... Service was good and we enjoyed the Nachos con queso blanco.

    Street Cart Taco Plate
    Carrie R.

    Colleagues and I were in town for business and this place was nearby our hotel. Our plates were pretty tasty! I had the grande burrito with carnitas. It was huge. The pork was perfectly cooked. The refried beans were entirely pure. They tasted good and maybe that's just how they are on this area but that was a little odd to me. The menu did say the burrito contained fajita grilled veg and they weren't joking. I did wish they were maybe cut up a little more to make it easier to cut/eat. Service was fine. The restaurant is pretty noisy. I can't imagine if it was busier than the sleepy early Sunday eve when we went. They also have a TON of tv screens-- it's like a sports bar on steroids.

    Wings
    Samantha M.

    Taco Tuesday!!! They have a great deal on tacos and they're delicious! My fave is the crunchy Pork Carnitas...great flavor and the toppings compliment it. The Smashed Potatos were seasoned well AND are on the happy hour menu. The star of the show are their wings! They're cooked perfectly crunchy and amazing flavor. The one on Mill Ave is always a fun location.

    What a great find today for a late lunch. After a not so good stop at another eatery earlier in the day we were so happy to have such a better and more delicious experience here. The place was pretty empty when we arrived and we were able to sit right away. Our server was wonderful and brought us waters right away as the heat was picking up along with some chips and salsa. We ordered the Quesabirria tacos with rice and Mexican coleslaw as our sides along with chicken tenders and fries. Everything came out quick and looked great. The tacos were amazing. I only wish they were so doused in consommé. The tortilla was soggy so fast. The flavors however were fantastic. The beer selection were also good...well minus the cactus cooler local beer we tried. Harsh, horrible aftertaste. I think part of the issue was the samples were so warm since the glasses came the same way. Next time I'll opt for something different to try. Vibe was fun and great view of A mountain and the Hayden Flour Mill.

    Food wasn't that good. Rice tasted like it was from Uncle Ben's. Alcoholic drinks were very watered down. And their water was disgusting.

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.

He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my friend who is deaf, making sure we always had water, napkins, and plenty of chips. The margarita flight is always a must for me, so I had to order one for my friend since it was her first visit. I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious. I also ordered the lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and just as good. Ghost Ranch never seems to miss when it comes to drinks. Potato tacos! Another must have My friend ordered the Aztec Cake and insisted I'd regret not getting it. She was absolutely right. It was bomb and Torrance offered us a side of chips .TY. I ordered the short rib. It was flavorful, tender, and filling, with lots of garlic and savory flavor. I'm not sure if short rib is just not my thing, but it didn't wow me the way the Aztec Cake did. I warmed it up later and it was delicious a second time so no complaints. Excellent service, delicious drinks, and a fun way to spend the Fourth. We'll definitely be back!

Been waiting to check this place out for Happy Hour and finally got around to it with friends. Happy Hour is daily with $3 off all appetizers (not just selected as the menu says) in addition to drink specials. We ordered a few apps to share and had: - Chips with Guacamole and Salsa: solid - Queso Fundido: I was excited for this as friends have said they liked it, but the cheese harden within minutes and it wasn't as nice - Street Style Esquites: I was expecting more corn rather than mixed in another cheese dip and likewise, the cheese harden quickly. - Shrimp cocktail: it was pretty heavy on the liquid rather than thicken, but good - 3 potato tacos: okay, wasn't expected it to be fried so it was a bit greasy but loved the slaw it came with - Southwest egg roll: not bad, was a crowd's favorite and I liked the sauce it came with We didn't realize most of the apps came with tortilla chips otherwise we may have ordered differently. I got the frozen margarita and it was a bit sweet, but nice for the summer evening. Our server wasn't super attentive, but was nice whenever they came around. There's a sampler entree platter I'd like to try, but of all the appetizers we tried, the best was probably the chips with guacamole and salsa.
