We came for taco Tuesday and we had the happy hour margaritas. We thought they were small (and they were the small ones) but they were as large as the large margaritas at the chain restaurants. Thinking the tacos would be small I ordered three. I had to take one home because I was full after two. And that's without rice and beans Please come here hungry! You will lot be disappointed.

We were a bit indecisive on what to order and he helped to give some good recommendations! And the food.. oh my goodness it was so good!! We ordered one of the platters that Guy Fieri tried when he came out here. It was loaded with flavor outside and inside of that bread they make. It was flavorful, creamy and savory, and the fresh onion and pickled onion added a really nice flavor to the whole dish. We also ordered a cheese enchilada and peach habanero street taco à la carte to try them out as well. Hands-down, one of my new favorite Mexican places. And we will definitely be coming back to try other items on their menu. They sang happy birthday and gave me a fried ice cream dessert that was so yummy, tasted like a churro ice cream in a fried mini tortilla drizzled with Carmel and chocolate. If you are ever in Flagstaff, come check it out! You won't regret it!

We were craving Mexican food and found this gem on Yelp! It had great reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we ate here! I had the chilaquiles with red sauce and chicken. The food was amazing! They give you a lot, which I couldn't finish, but I totally took the rest home and ate it! The red sauce had great flavor and not spicy at all. The chicken was seasoned well. My mom had the chimichanga with green chili and she loved it! She said the meat was not dry and the green chili was delicious. Our fave were the chips and salsa! We loved the salsa so much, we bought a pint to take with us on our trip. As for the restaurant, the atmosphere was very upbeat, colorful, and full of culture. The inside is a little small, but when we went about 11am on a Thursday, it wasn't busy at all. Although, I did hear this place gets packed. Parking appeared very limited as this place is located in a small plaza area. Despite this, this restaurant is totally worth a try! My mom and I plan on coming back when we visit again!

Insanely delicious and what a great portion size. We were a bit surprised to learn chips and salsa are an extra charge which is not like most Mexican restaurants. We ordered them anyway and they were fantastic. The chips are light and crispy ( I don't like thick chips) and the 2 salsas were divine. I especially like the red and could have bought a gallon of it. We thought our server was attentive and friendly and the food and drinks came out pretty quick. They have some very cool Day of the Dead style artwork on the walls which was fun to look at.

Great place for authentic Mexican food. Bean and cheese burrito was freshly made on a huge tortilla. Street tacos with carne asada were delicious and the rolled tacos with a spray of green sauce made the meal complete for my family of four. Washed it all down with a Mexican coke and we left very satisfied. You won't find a genuine Mexican place in Flagstaff like this one. What are you waiting for? read more

This is by far the Best & Cheapest place to eat in Flagstaff as far as Mexican food. The carne asada is real good. We have been up here hunting for two weeks and this will be our goto spot.

I would say this is one of the better Mexican restaurants in Flagstaff that is clean & affordable. I ordered the grilled fish platter and it was AMAZING! Chips and salsa is always an added plus. I recognized that if a restaurant knows how to make great tasting salsa, the food must follow that same as well! read more
