    Great food great flavors! Very nice staff. I ordered from the counter and did not wait long for some of the best food. Get two of these carne asada Gordita's and you will feel full and happy

    We stopped by for lunch since I saw this place had good reviews and it's right by my house. The chicken taco was the best chicken taco I'd ever tasted. So juicy! The sauces were delicious as well and the tres leches cake was amazing. I got a limonada and my husband got horchata and both were some of the best I've had. The Mexican rice wasn't my favorite I've tried but it was good. The prices were reasonable, the workers were very friendly and greeted us right as we came in. The food came out quickly as well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area was cute and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend, we'll have to come back for breakfast sometime!

    Delicious authentic Mexican food from the North of Mexico. Everything I've tried has been amazing. My current favorite is caldo de res which comes with a side of rice and tortillas. Their horchata is to die for, I always get the large which is huge. Breakfast burritos are also a favorite. It's a casual spot, it always looks clean, and it's nicely decorated with saguaro motives. I love the service here, the staff is super friendly and welcoming.

    Asada burrito (ordered with rice addition for $1 so it might be smaller as a regular burrito)

    Good local taco joint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean inside and the staff are nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bummed out that they don't have the self serve topping bar so you can add extra stuff on top. Some older Yelp pictures show the cart but it's no longer there which is a huge bummer. I hope they bring it back. Menu picture was out of date so a new ones been posted so you can see current prices esp since their website doesn't seem to work.

    We originally planned to go to Bikini Beans, but the food smelled so amazing coming from one building over, so we reversed right out of the Bikini Beans drive thru and into a parking spot in front if this place. The place itself is in the same building as a car wash, so it was small but clean and spacious for the most part. There's not a lot of tables, so I can only imagine what a weekday lunch hour looks like. The girl at the counter was nice and patient as I had to take time to look at the menu for a minute. Luckily, there was no one behind us. I got the horchata, which was perfect. Lightly sweet with rice milk and cinnamon. Just right proportions. For food, I got the Carne asada plate, which was delicious. The meat was cooked well, with full flavor. I loved the touch of jalapeños. The rice and beans, which aren't pictured because I dug in the moment my plate hit the table, were also very good. My husband finished his chorizo burrito without one word being spoken in between, and the menudo was also very tasty. It's been a while since we found a place that not only has great good, but great sauces, as well, and this place had both. The green sauce had a perfect semi-spicey kick to it. The red sauce was also very good with a different type of spice flare, but just as good. Will be back soon.

    Burro was great Owner is nice and served me my food! Try this spot if you want a good authentic asada burro.

    Assortment of tacos! Pastor, carne asada, and cabeza
    Hillary C.

    Happy days! Finally found our new favorite taco shop! After moving to Mesa recently, we have been on the hunt for a new favorite taco shop. This place is down the street from us in an unsuspecting little shopping center. 1) Tacos - We ordered pastor, carne asada, and cabeza tacos! Woow, we loved each of them! The taco meat were beautifully seasoned and tender with plenty of fresh onions and cilantro to bring that level of bright freshness. 2) Chorizo Burrito - We couldn't resist getting a couple chorizo breakfast burritos. Super satisfying and delicious, my kind of breakfast! Their sauce bar wasn't available at the time, so we just used the sauce they included in our order. Neither the green nor the red were spicy, but still was a lovely balance to the heavier burrito. This is definitely a smaller family owned restaurant, so don't expect your food immediately but they definitely make everything fresh! So everything comes out nice and toasty!

    Hot soups of the day.

    I was looking for a quick lunch spot on my way out of the valley to golf in Gold Canyon and saw…read morethis place on Yelp with the great reviews. Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

Carne asada burrito which came with chipotle cream sauce, carne Asada, and pico. Also beans and we asked for no rice. We both had rice on the side with beans. The burrito was nice and big. The rice was really good. And the beans were mediocre. The burrito was good, except the only bad thing I would say it was a little too greasy, and when you bit into it, all the greasy juice came out. I'm not sure if we would go back maybe, to try something different.

The parking lot outside was parking so we thought we may have to wait, but inside was not busy yet and we were seated immediately. I ordered the smoked chicken enchilada as I saw it was a Yelp favorite and it was delicious. I ended up taking half of it home since we all filled up on chips and salsa before our meal. This restaurant is decorated so cutely. I love how there is a Baja influence with all the surf boards but also southwest appeal. There is plenty of seating and tables for big groups. Even with other people yapping around us, the noise level was perfect to enjoy company. 10/10 would recommend.

Everything tasted amazing and was served fresh and in a timely manner. We will most certainly be back (and you should visit, too!)!

Now, he proposed that I order from Chipotle instead since they fail to give customer what one paid for. Update #3: The owner still going back and forth with me and now claiming I did not pay for the burritos. Not really sure what he means by that.

Decent amount of food, although the chicken and carne were both a bit dry. I enjoyed the beans and rice, and the additional accouterments. Overall, good flavor and seasonings, just dry protein. Not sure if that would change on a busier day if fresh food was being pumped out, but would be open to checking this place out again!
