The decor is pretty fun, a little old school but very bright and all the chairs have rodeo themed art. We had a large party and were seated right away. The chips and salsa were fine, nothing to rave or complain about. Salsa was a bit bland but not terrible. Most of us got combo plates and one ordered a steak quesadilla. I picked a pork tamale and a shredded beef taco. I expected like a shredded green Chile pork tamale but it was huge cubes of tough pork. In a tamale! I found the pork inedible and the masa very flavorless. The shredded beef taco came with orange cheese on top and was in a soggy tortilla that immediately fell apart. The shredded beef didn't have much flavor but did have quite a few globs of fat. The quesadilla was huge but the steak inside was gristly. One friend had ordered soda water to drink and they charged her $5 for it! Wild. Its generally free but if you feel the need to charge for it, fine, but $5?? The bathroom was clean.

The environment felt family oriented and welcoming. The chips and salsa came fast and were deliciously perfect. We ordered a fajita taco salad and chicken fajitas.

Definitely make your way here if you're in payson :)

No gloves and no washing hands between. The employee also likes to hand you your soda cup buy inserting her hand in the inside of the cup, right after mopping. There are other food code. Violations clearly visible but am leaving it up to the state inspector to do his job. The employee seemed fine touching cups on the inside, food and food trays and cleaning supplies simultaneously with no care. I am sure her food handlers card is up to date. I did try to inform her politely, but she waved her hand at me like she was batting away a fly. Very professional. A walking health code violation works the front counter. Beware.

They serve the traditional Mexican foods that we enjoy and the prices are not too bad. They serve margaritas too if you like.

Reminds me a lot of the restaurants in Rocky Point. The tables and chairs are bursting with colors. Loved it. The staff were friendly and seated us quickly. The guests ranged from old couples to young families. Meals come with complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was great. We got the fajita quesadilla and king burrito. The quesadilla was fantastic. Full of flavor and gooey cheese and chicken. The portions were on the large side. Me burrito was on the healthy side. The chicken and black beans tasted good but would have liked some sour cream or cheese. Definitely will come back.

Located in the parking lot of an antiques store with bathrooms inside, "Western Village Antiques" to be precise. One picnic table available, but we ate off the tailgate of the truck (which I noticed others were doing too). Tacos were great! Fresh ingredients. "Street tacos" sized. Should have ordered six for two people. My only recommendation: use double tortillas for each taco to reduce spillage and messiness. Otherwise, one can ask for a fork. Wife liked pork. I liked beef. Both were great. They were out of chocolate chip cookies. Darn. Strong Recommend.

Just moved up to Payson from California, so trust me when I say: my taco standards are high. But…read moreCrne Tacos? Absolutely blew me away. We came by on a Monday -- their special chicken dinner day -- and ordered the chicken plate (fresh breast + thigh), with rice, beans, fresh corn tortillas, and both red and green salsas. We also grabbed two carnitas street tacos. The second I took a bite, I knew I was in trouble (the good kind). The chicken was perfectly seasoned, with a golden crust that had flavor in every crispy edge. And the carnitas tacos? Authentic, juicy, rich -- exactly what you want in a taco. We literally turned around right after finishing and ordered two more tacos. No shame. Took them to-go and ate them lakeside at Green Lake -- 10/10 vibes. The guys running the truck are genuinely kind-hearted and personable, which just makes the whole experience even better. Why tacos this good are in Payson, I have no idea... but I'm so glad they are. If you haven't tried Crne yet, what are you waiting for? Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-hit. Hands down, some of the best and freshest tacos I've ever had -- and that's coming from a Cali native. Will be coming back, again... and again... and again. Bonus tip: they serve Vegan options on Sundays!

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Kohl's Ranch Lodge 202 S Kohl's Ranch Road Payson, 85541 Companion and I were visiting in Payson and were looking for a good place to eat. I had eaten and stayed at Kohl's Ranch years ago and it was a tip top place to stay and eat. Unfortunately, things have changed over the years. The dining room that used to serve great prime rib is no more. Instead, there is only a small eating area by the bar, or you can eat outside if you wish. We could not get the internet on our phones and found out that the only way to access it is to take a room or rent time on it. Never heard of such a thing before. We ordered Iced Tea ($4), and placed our orders for a meal. Companion ordered an individual Hawaiian Pizza ($19). Unfortunately, only the middle was edible as the outside was 2 inches of crust before getting to any sauce. I ordered the Prime Rib Dip which was supposed to be the same as a French Dip. The meat was from their very own smoker. I personally own 4 smokers and the meat that comes out of my smokers tasted nothing like what was served to me. To make a long story short, I spent the evening totally sick and worshiping the porcelain god. For $50.82 I have had meals that were far better. 1 star for cleanliness and that's all. Not recommended
