Food is fantastic. Ordered chilaquiles with birria as my protein and the meat is tender and flavorful. My girlfriend ordered aqua chilies they had a nice kick and good portion. We also ordered two cocktails: mezcalita and st.hibiscus both perfect ratios. You can taste the alcohol and not overpowering with artificial mixers, like most restaurants, cocktails. Worth it. Service very good. With great classic Mexican music not the overplayed playlist you hear at every other spot. I might be proposing to my girlfriend here because we loved it so much. read more

Presidio Cocina Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I sniffed this place out as a possible eatery at which to grab a Mexican breakfast, which is not a typical choice for me. But I wanted something hearty after donating blood the day before at Phoenix Fan Fusion. I felt like I didn't eat enough to replenish all of the corpuscles I shed, so a hearty late breakfast was in order. I was pleasantly thrilled with my choice of Presidio Cocina Mexicana, as the late breakfast I ordered did not disappoint! I ordered the Chilaquiles, which are essentially breakfast nachos, and you have a choice of protein to add. I chose the birria beef which was perfectly slow-cooked and complemented the corn tortilla chips, cheese, and eggs superbly. I opted for both the red chile and green chile sauce which coated the chips along with a generous layer of tangy cotija cheese. I asked for the eggs scrambled and they cooked them just how I like them... fairly dry and in a thin griddled layer. Add to this mound of well-seasoned goodness a decent dolloping of Tapatio hot sauce (and salt and pepper on the eggs) and I had endless perfect bites of spicy, meaty brekkie goodness that brought delighted yummy sounds from my grateful gullet! This was quality food and the couple at the bar next to me raved about the Menudo, so it has all the hallmarks of authentic Mexican fare. It restored me from borderline anemic to my usual strutting rugged caballero self. "¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!" read more

Everything about this experience was wonderful! From the food to the service to the atmosphere! I had a trio of tacos...carne asada, and two others that each were amazing. I also had a side of the mango pico de gallo that perfectly blended. My friends had the carne asada plate and shrimp enchiladas. Both loved them! The atmosphere of the patio was great. And...our server Deserae was wonderful...so pleasant and lovely! read more

One of my favorite restaurants when I visit Phoenix! It used to be a small place on Thomas, and it has come a long way. I love it! The food is delicious and flavorful, with what I would call authentic Mexican cuisine. The service is good, and the ambiance is neat! read more

Very solid meal at Presidio. The first thing we noticed is just the ambiance of the restaurant. The lighting, table setup, open kitchen and bar. We loved the vibe/layout. It wasn't too busy when we went on a Thursday for dinner but service was great. Guac was yummy - chips could have used a tad more salt. Both of our mains were good too. Reasonable portion sizes - the garlic shrimp sauce was sooo good! Mushroom taco was also very underrated. read more

Back at it again this weekend. Had the chile rellano and it didn't disappoint. I'm on a mission to try everything on the menu this year it seems. Haha. Juan was our server again and he's awesome. Always making sure we order things right and suggesting items if stuck between two items. read more

Very nice and cosy restaurant. Came here for their flavorful brunch. First thing I noticed was their chair, the luxurious feel of leather on your back, left me a positive impression already. The menu items were unique and lots to choose from. Steak and eggs, omelets, burritos, really a good mix and the prices are pretty good. Coffee is strong, service is great! read more

This place was my favorite place that I ate at during my visit to Phoenix! Every single bite we took tasted amazing. This place is a mix of Mexican tradition with a modern style. The food tastes very much like an Abuela made it especially the flan. The staff were friendly and food came out so fast from the kitchen. We also went when it opened because on a Saturday I assume they get crazy busy. I ate the pozole and my husband got chilaquiles and added carne asada. We also tried the taquito app and for dessert the churros and flan. They have a great cocktail menu as well. We'd come back for sure! read more

As usual I was traveling through Phoenix for the day and decided to find some goo, but authentic Southwest Mexican food to eat. So my business partner and I relied on the Yelp reviews to lead us here. The outside doesn't look like much but once inside it's transformed into a finer dining Mexican restaurant. The servers are friendly and helpful and the A/C works great! No alcohol for us since we were on the clock but the bar sure looked inviting. Started with chips and guacamole that was really good. Loved that the chips were hot and homemade. My buddy had the fajitas and said they tasted good. I had the dinner enchiladas and really liked them. I was slightly surprised that my enchiladas were only warm and not hot. That led a slightly lower score. The flan was outstanding. Overall a great place and I would come back again! read more

I feel like brunch spots have a difficult time deciding whether or not they want the food to look good OR taste good, but luckily Presidio Cocina can do both! I often find that trendy brunch spots are overpriced and the food doesn't fit the bill, but the tacos (tinga, chorizo, and (iirc) pork) and the tres leches French toast were soooo good. We also had ceviche and aguachiles (which were both okay), but the chicharron was delicious. The taco meats were all uniquely seasoned and garnished perfectly, but it was so much I was full by my third taco! Although I had a delightful experience, I do have two things to mention: the service was a little bit odd, our server had a difficult time splitting the bill among the table. And we ordered a mimosa flight, but didn't receive a "flight." Typically when you order a flight of any kind of drink, you expect small glasses of different flavors or qualities, but at this restaurant, they let you pick two flavors of juice and bring you a bottle of champagne. It wasn't bad, it was just confusing. And a little bit disappointing that we only got to choose from two juices (lol). Overall, it was a great experience and I'd totally bring folks in again for a round 2. read more

Had to give this place another try after my daughter raved about it. Glad we did, so much better than the first time we came and everything tasted amazing. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The aguas were very good and so was the desserts. We enjoyed everything we ate even the menudo. My mother is very picky but she loved it. They do get busy so I would suggest getting a reservation if not be prepared to wait. Restrooms were cleaned read more

Checked this spot out for lunch which visiting a friend in Arizona. Wow!! Their breakfast is delicious. There's limited parking in the front, but a ton in the back. The servers are all very attentive and sweet. Got their huevos rancheros and it was so delicious. I was able to substitute the beans for rice. The dish was so flavorful! They have a ton on different stuff on their menu and I believe they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day. Their dessert menu sounded good but I was so full. Their sweets are baked fresh. read more

If your menu features Queso Fundido it's pretty hard to get anything less than 4 stars from me. Presidio Cocina Mexicana's (PCM) big menu features Queso Fundido and it was the perfect remedy to the Budget Rental Car nightmare that preceded my coming here. In fact, I'd left the airport so hungry and agitated that I might've asked Siri to find me the "nearest Queso Fundido"; it's difficult to say how I wound up choosing PCM. Like almost every Arizona eatery, PCM features a full array of alcohol. The bottles are lined up attractively but the food menu is of greater interest. Breakfast is served all day, but the menu goes far beyond mere breakfast. Meals run in the $15-$20 range and though I often prefer a cheap taqueria for Mexican fare, this - food, service, and ambiance - was a very nice experience. In addition to a shared Queso Fundido (excellent, accompanied by chips & salsa and/or tortillas) I ordered Chilaquiles and sampled the tacos. Chilaquiles were lovely in presentation, with half doused in red sauce and the other half doused in green, and benefited significantly from an added splash of salsa. Tacos? Equally enjoyable but I admit to having wandering eyes. A man at a nearby table ordered Fajitas and they looked so enticing that I had to inquire "as good as they look?" to which I received a positive affirmation. So next time it's the Fajitas and the Queso Fundido. Not too far from the Phoenix Airport, PCM is a great choice not only for those times when it takes forever to secure a rental car. read more

A couple of years back we visited their original location traveling from Boston. We wanted to come back this year and discovered they had opened this much larger (well deserved) beautiful location.

We have been here about 4 or 5 times in the month since we discovered this place was open and it has been consistently excellent every time. It's our go-to place for nice Mexican food, esp if we have out of towners visiting. The guacamole is excellent and a huge portion. Great for a larger party - even for 3 of us it was too much. The birria tacos were great, my husband liked his boring chicken burrito and said we should come back, and the mole enchiladas were also excellent. We haven't tried breakfast yet but WE WILL. I don't even like flan and theirs is AMAZING, soft and less "eggy". Our friend said the Tres Leches cake was incredible and one of the best he's ever had. Parking is easy (don't park in the Marisco Boys lot, there are threatening signs everywhere), service is friendly and quick, and the space is nice and open. This will be a go-to spot for our family! read more

I came here for lunch with my friends and we really enjoyed all the food and our service was great. The restaurant is a little small, but it was not busy when we went around 1:30pm so it was nice. I got the chicken Torta, which was really good, but could use more of the chipotle mayo. I ordered an additional side, which was $1.50 which I thought was ridiculous because they only give you about a teaspoon extra, but I didn't know it was extra until I got my bill and I didn't feel like bringing this up. I would have just appreciated the heads up that it was $1.50 extra. Anyways, it was good Mexican food. read more

Presidio serves delicious homemade Mexican cuisine. They specialize in Michoacán-inspired Mexican homestyle cooking. It's a family-owned and operated business that's run by the Nava family. The restaurant offers a menu of made-from-scratch dishes, most of them based on old family recipes refined by Nava's mother, Lucina, a native of the west-central Mexican state of Michoacán. On my first visit, my family and I tried their Cilantro Lime Salad w/ grilled chicken, Torta Ahogada w/ Cochinita Pibil, Chicken Enchiladas, and a refreshing cocktail whose name escapes me right now. The food from its presentation to taste was really flavorful and good. It was fresh and tasty. Also, the service was pretty good. We enjoyed our meal and had a good experience. Check them out when in Phoenix. Presidio worth a visit and more. read more

In this new location, I don't feel any confortable mood. Then, my beer was so poor, not a good taste, XX Ambar, too much water in it. I asked for beer in bottle, Victoria, Superior, Modelo, Negra Modelo etc, but they have almost nothing... only Corona and Michelob available. Well I'd keep only water. Chilaquiles, not any chile on it, they have to named it "Tomatadas". Then, wasn't good taste. (Old location was too much better). They served my chilaquiles first, after 15 minutes second plate was served, for my partner. I was eating alone and my partner just watching me.. so bad. NOT A GOOD SERVICE NOW. They are losing their good service and good taste. Table are so close...listen voices from other table easily. Not any private. I think, I am not gonna be able to get back there. read more

Loved this place! I got the quesabirria tacos and they were soooo good super flavorful, crispy, and the consommé was amazing. Desiree was our server and she was the best and attentive.

It is a bit hard to get used to the new location for those of us who get emotionally attached lol but such a great thing for them to continue to grow!

You guys, just go. This was hands down one of the most delicious and authentic meals I've had in a long time. We stopped in after seeing a show downtown. The atmosphere is open and comfortable. I ordered a Mango Moscow Mule that came with a Chamoy Tagin Rim. It was super refreshing. For appetizers we had the guacamole, Chicharrón and Grilled Panela. The guac was good, super fresh. The Grilled Panela came with mushrooms/squash and corn tortillas. It was also really good but let me tell you the life changing experience I had with the Chicharrón!! It was fried absolutely perfectly. It had a nice crisp, as did the outside of the pork belly but man the rest just melted in my mouth!! A bite with the jalapeño and pickled onion was pure magic. For my main entree I chose the 3 tacos with comes with rice, beans or elote for an up charge. I went with the elote and was glad I did! It was creamy and perfectly balanced. I cannot wait to return to Presido Cochina! Definitely eating my way through their menu! read more

Awesome brunch today @ Presido Cocina. Had the Huevos Rancheros and my guest had a fried fish burrito. My Huevos Rancheros had beans, scrambled eggs over a tostada. It was very delicious. Tried some of the fried fish and it was very fresh and green cilantro salsa went perfect with it. Very nice family owned restaurant with a small cozy patio with plenty of shade. This place does get busy for brunch of Sunday. The coffee was brewed fresh and mild and smooth. Service was very friendly, prompt, and attentive. Great way to spend some time and have a delicious brunch in Downtown Phoenix. read more

I was excited to try Presidio after reading the stellar reviews. First impression is that the place was fairly nice but on the smaller side. Staff were nice enough. Looking at the menu, I could tell that this was a more upscale establishment. Prices were higher than your average restaurant for this type of food--at least for what I'm used to (I'm not local). I was excited to try the food because it sounded delicious. Both of us were quite disappointed in the taste and quality of the food, especially for the price. It didn't stand out to me as unique, nor were the portions particularly large. Overall, I'd prefer to spend my time and money elsewhere. read more
