    Big breakfast burrito
    Ryan L.

    They were fast and their big breakfast burrito is amazing, you can beat the price. Service is great

    Nachos were 8/10 and tacos were 8/10. Huge portions and loaded with asada!
    Christy C.

    This spot is super tiny with very limited seating. Parking is pretty small but not too difficult. The menu is very extensive with many varieties of tacos, quesadillas, burritos, etc. I've gotten their asada tacos and shrimp asada burrito before and it's very flavorful and loaded with lots of asada, cheese, etc. Their asada nachos are also very delicious and huge! It's loaded with cheese, asada, and guac! Prices are very reasonable ($10-$15). Service was pretty welcoming and friendly. Nachos were 8/10, burrito was 8/10, and tacos were 9/10.

    Carnitas Tacos

    The tacos and nachos were delicious. The service was friendly and quick. Definitely going back to try more of their menu items. The salsas were great as well.

    Taco Tuesday combo carne asada... veggies were a nice touch but lacked flavor. 7.99 for this plate and a 12oz drink on tuesdays
    Liz S.

    Not a fan. Boiled chicken lacked flavor.... Ground beef lacked flavor... prices were just ok.... Drink cups with the combo were basically water cups... just wouldn't visit again, I can make better at home. I will say parking was easy and the place was clean..

    Oscar's tacos. 20 bucks.Was still hungry after I ate it

    It's with a sad heart I give this 3 star review. I have watched the burritos get smaller and smaller. I now have to order beans and rice to get full. I paid 20 bucks at Oscar's tacos for pork burrito with rice and beans. I'll post pics. So I decided today it would be amigos Mexican restaurant. Got a huge pork burrito with green sauce, rice and beans, chips and salsa more food than I can possibly eat for 20 bucks. It's just sad that chain restaurants are getting so expensive.

    Taco Tuesday Special
    Cathi S.

    Good chicken salad, nice blend of flavors with my modification of no tomatoes or sour cream. DH had a tamale and enchilada. The rice and beans were good. He didn't find much flavor in the t&e. Service was pleasant and the food delivered quickly. The place was clean and tidy and smelled great. I added pic of the wallboard menu, Taco Tuesday special and the out from seating.

    Shrimp tacos

    This is a fun little hole in the wall taco shop in Surprise. It looks very unassuming from the outside, but has a lot of delicious options. My favorite is the shrimp! Fresh, hot and delicious! The service is friendly and quick, and I'm always excited to stop by.

    I would move to Surprise just for their fish tacos! That's how good they are. Ambience is zero, just a strip mall hole-in-the-wall place, but they food is outstanding. And their red sauce is VERY hot! (You have been warned ) The bean and cheese burrito is very generously sized for only $4.99

    Yum! Yum! Yum! Amazing tacos! A cute little restaurant that is very clean and has friendly staff. You order at the counter and they bring out your food when it's ready, along with hot and mild sauce. Today I had the shredded beef taco. Delicious! Fresh, crispy shell with a generous portion of beef, lettuce, cheese and tomato. My husband had a fish taco, served street taco style and he said it was outstanding! The menu is extensive and I'll be back to try other things but this is definitely my new fav taco place!

Everything is made fresh to order, including the chips and guacamole, and you can taste it 100%. The owner/chef greeted us upon entering and suggested a few starters. Even the chips were amazing, mixed with the guacamole and a little bit of lime. Ooooo The the real starts of the show came - the tacos. Now I've had a million tacos in my life and let me tell you, these are THE TRUTH! The chicken was my fav, followed by the pastor and asada. You can tell the freshness as it took about 8-10 minutes to get them to our table. So much flavor, heat, and juiciness. I wish I lived near here so I could come back often - prices are also great! As far as service, the staff was fantastic and the owner Edson is a character who truly cares about the quality of his food and the vibe of his restaurant. No negatives here - will definitely be back. Thank you!

The owner is there to welcome and prepare your meal and make you feel at home. Our favorite is the Pastor Tacos, with a generous portion of Pineapple and the Pollo, with an excellent smoky flavor. They are going to start serving Breakfast soon and we hope to be there to sample it! We love LaBamba and you visit everything we are visiting Luke AFB, or Phoenix in general.

The tequila list with Fortaleza and the like gave me a lot of hope as well. Alas, it was not to be. Not a hint of spice in anything, from the salsa to the various meals we had. You can tell the quality of the ingredients was good, but the *flavor* was just not there. This began with the salsa, which looked promising but had zero taste. My group had three entrees - beer battered fish tacos, the 3 taco combo (cochinita pibil, quesabirria, and a taco de tinga), and the mixed grill. I also had the La Sandia cocktail, which took forever and tasted... unfortunate. It had an odd salty note and a weirdly thick consistency that reminded me of PediaLyte. Not the best beginning. The overall theme for the meals was the same - everything was acceptable but boring, especially in the flavor we were hoping for. The term we came up with was "inoffensive" - no spice to speak of in anything, despite the items being seasoned and not bland. The mixed grill is huge and the grilled cheese included is a fun addition, and the ingredients in the tacos tasted high-quality (lots of raves about the tortillas) but there was no kick to anything. Perhaps we needed to adjust expectations, but when I come to a Mexican place - even a chain - I expect a little more, you know? Service was very slow during an admittedly slow time of day and it took a long time to receive anything besides chips, but everything was fresh when it arrived. Portion sizes were perfectly acceptable for the price. Our visit was not memorable and I don't expect to be back, but we were glad to give it a try.

Everything was clean too. I had asked for my enchiladas to be served xmas style with the green sauce and the red sauce since I like both, which is something I recommend you ask for as the option is not listed.

But since the change in ownership, the quality, service, and value have completely fallen off a cliff. Tonight was the absolute last straw. We always call ahead to ask if our favorite server, Espy, is working, because the customer service otherwise has become atrocious. Espy is fantastic and the only reason we still try to come here. Tonight, we called and asked if Espy was working, and the person on the phone said yes. We asked if she'd be there until close, and the manager, Jeff, responded with, "I hope not." We pulled up to the restaurant less than five minutes later and asked for her section, only for Jeff to tell us he had already cut her for the night, knowing full well we had just called and were coming specifically for her. Jeff the manager was extremely rude, unprofessional, and dismissive. We walked right out and took our business elsewhere tonight, and we feel terrible for Espy because she is genuinely amazing and deserves better. This interaction is just the final nail in the coffin after watching this restaurant go downhill: Zero Customer Support: We actually reached out directly through the customer service link on the Macayo's website back in July to share these exact concerns and issues, hoping someone cared. They never even acknowledged or responded to our email. Shrinkflation & Portions: Portion sizes have drastically shrunk. Far less meat in the burritos, barely any beans and rice, and they nickel-and-dime you over chips and salsa. Stingy Takeout Policy: On multiple takeout orders, they hand you a huge bag of chips with a tiny 4-oz cup of salsa and claim "new management policy" prevents them from giving any more. Gutted Deals: They eliminated the loyalty points program, cut kids' meal deals from two per adult to one, scrapped the summer "Kids Eat Free" daily deal, and neutered Happy Hour. Refusing Advertised Coupons: Just last month, we brought a party of 14 people and management refused to honor the active 20% off Mi Coupon that is still advertised on their own website and app. Between Jeff's atrocious management, total lack of response from corporate, the drop in food quality, and the complete elimination of customer appreciation, there is zero reason left for us to support Macayo's. After 36 years, our family and our wallets are officially done.
