Was sooo hungry for real Mexican food (I lived in Mexico for two years). I ordered huevos rancheros . So disappointed. So California. And really not even as good as California Mexican food. Save your money and drive to Del Taco in Blythe. read more

We stopped by on our way to CA from Phoenix. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Everyone ordered something different and everyone enjoyed (and cleaned) their plate. This is by far the best stop we've dined at on our way to the coast! We will be back! Thank you so much for the friendly service Dawn, the trinkets you gifted the kids kept them busy on our trip! So very nice of you. read more

We stopped in Quartzsite for gas on our way to Joshua Tree, and asked where we could have lunch. We were directed to this as the only restaurant in town. My husband practically jumped when the first thing we saw was a giant cardboard cutout of Vicente Fernandez, it was lifelike and kinda scary lol. It had a diner feel, but many times, those are the best places. It wasn't one of those best places unfortunately. My husband's taco had a very thin breakable shell, and was over fried. The ingredients weren't fresh, and who puts ranch dressing on a taco salad? The beans in my chicken burrito were dry, but the chicken was moist and tasty. The food came super fast, but again, maybe that's why it wasn't good? No chips and salsa were brought to the table - disappointing ... I'll pass on by Quartzstie and dine elsewhere next time. read more

If I lived in the dusty town of Quartsite this would be my weekly taco Tuesday lunch. Fresh food from scratch. Rice and beans are excellent. Tacos have plenty of meat fresh tomato, onion and cilantro. I had carnitas, hubby had carne asada. So glad we stopped. There is a reason the parking lot was full. read more

Food was OK (nothing special), but the service was WEIRD! You stand in line to order at the counter, then find a table on your own. It was pretty crowded the night I ate there, so maybe that's why the tables weren't bussed or cleaned between patrons. We just kinda shoved the old junk to the side and sat down. The waitress who brought the food was nice, but the way they run the place was just weird. It was chaotic and disorganized...and the food was just just OK for the price. I had the carne asada plate and my sis had a burrito...total was around $25. Neither of us got sick... but neither of us were inspired to come back, either. read more

We had a very late, overdue, lunch here and the food was flavorful and portions generous. No chicken available for salad, so I had beef. The soccer matches were playing on the TV, but the volume was not overwhelming. There are booths, but the seat where you put your "seat", while nicely padded, was too narrow for my avoirdupois. I noticed that another customer had this problem, too, but moved, before ordering, to the tables nearby. Smart, as the chairs were generous and padded--like what I call waiting room chairs. So, if you eat here, take the table and chairs right off the bat, unless your behind parts are very slender. The women's bathroom was adequate, though stuffy. The toilet tissue roll was not in the dispenser and clumsy to use. Our waitress was very helpful and patient, describing the dishes about which we were curious. read more

Cute little place. Everyone was so nice and the service was excellent. They have some of the best salsa. They bring 3 different ones to the table. I could've eaten just the salsa alone they were that good. Really good Mexican food. read more

The Carnitas Taco and the Carne Asada Taco, both of which are quite tasty, and very fresh, but are rather small considering each is priced at $2.99, and come a la carte. The shredded beef tacos have extra soft, juicy meat. The hard taco shells appear packaged, not fresh made. Their "Caution" salsa is not that hot, probably medium for most hot food lovers. Service was friendly. read more

Taco Mio - Our motorcycles parked out front. - Mexican Near Me - Quartzsite, Arizona

My friend and I were on our way back to CA from the Tucson Gem Show and stopped in Quartzsite to stretch our legs and get a bite to eat. I'm so happy that we found this place! They have great authentic Mexican food and the best salsa I've had in a while. Everyone was so nice, too! We plan on going to the show again next year so we'll definitely be stopping here again. read more

Was asked to go to lunch here, while staying @ LaPosa South Ordered the Carne Assad burrito My order was loaded with beef " grissle " I didn't finish it Someone before us who sat at our booth decided it would be funny to unscrew the pepper shaker so when the next person used it... it would dump into their plate... so that happened to us on our visit... the iced tea also tastes like water. I will never return... you can have it. read more

Taco Mio - Mexican Near Me - Quartzsite, Arizona

Surprisingly good food. Not much better in the desert than this one, definitely worth stopping by.

Coming back from a long trip, we decided to check this place out as we wanted authentic Mexican food. Well we were wrong. Out of almost everything and the tacos came with nothing. Charged me for all sides and didn't have complementary chips&salsa. Don't recommend read more

Delish...I will be back for sure took family here everyone enjoyed the food! We had a server who was the best! Burrito had chicken breast meat packed full. Taquitos were very good...old school style..the real thing. The sauces really gray Mexicans style..the beans outstanding....They do need to clean and upgrade...I will be back! read more

Breakfast burrito was amazing! One of the best I've had. Worth the wait. Waitress does a great job covering the floor during rush hour. Recommend! read more

I was very disappointed. This I is the poorest meXican restaurant that I have eaten at. Beef taco tasted closer to roast beef and gravy verses a beef taco with a little lettuce no tomato or cheese. You have to order chips separate. Cheese on quesadillas used American cheddar cheese verses Mexican cheese. The price we paid was similar to a high class Mexican restaurant. read more

Awful! Worst taco ever... Service was terrible and it's overpriced. We were sat at a dirty table that they eventually picked up but never wiped off. Just keep driving. It's that bad. read more

Quartzsite is not a hotspot for culinary creativity. In fact, finding something other than fast food is a bonus, and finding something that is good is a great night. Taco Mio is good. This is our second January camping in the desert outside of Quartzsite. We like to go out once a week or so and let someone else do the cooking and dishes. The options are slim here, but Taco Mio is a regular stop during our stay. The servers always seem a little behind the gun (gets busy here during the winter), but have always eeked out a smile. Food service is surprisingly fast, and the food has always been fine. Our last trip in to Taco Mio had me trying the Chili Verde Burrito, after many suggestions to do so. That is not my usual gig in Mexican food places. I typically order a meat dish to throw inside warm tortillas - arrachera, carnitas, etc. The chili verde was well done, and the portion made my large belly happy. Along with a good selection of beer (good - as in XX, Pacifico, etc), they serve a couple different cocktails - margarita and screwdrivers. Not sure if they will bend beyond those (tequila shots or a martini maybe??), but a Pacifico is usually fine with me. I have had tacos, as well as some of their specials in the past, and have not walked away dissatisfied. If you are hanging out in Quartzsite for a while and get tired of cooking, Taco Mio won't do you wrong. If you are a discriminating food critic that demands the best of everything, Phoenix is only about 2 hours away. read more

Service was good but the food was terrible. Very small portions and expensive. We will not be back.

Almost $3 dollars for a fountain drink and the salsa is extremely sub par..super thin and just tastes like nothing but onion...food prices are kinda low but so is the food quality so... read more

I judge a Mexican restaurant by their chili rellenos. Taco Mio makes good ones. My wife couldn't finish one of her tacos so I got to sample that as well. They brought out two bottles of hot sauce. One mild and one VERY HOT. I'm a pepper head so I really enjoyed the hot. I enjoyed it so much I asked if they would sell me a bottle. Turns out that this was not a strange request. They had bottles of it ready to go. If you're a pepper head go here just for the sauce. They make really potent Margaritas too. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by Taco Mio. The food was delicious, large portions, salsa is great and service is fast. My friend got the Mio special and loved it. The chips and salsa are also very good. This is our new stop on the way to Parker. read more

the food and service is excellent. but the margaritas are horrible!! sorry to say but I love it here. you need a real margarita program.. different styles/ blends. a margarita " menu " if you will. you would sell more total sales and alcohol sells well.please please for the life of me change your margaritas!!! hard to choke down what "margaritas " you have now. easy and simple change and then train staff to pour the drinks. very simple and easy change to make real margaritas. notice NO ONE speaks of your margaritas. that would change with new drinks menu!!! read more

Favorite spot for some Mexican/American breakfast!! (All day breakfast) the ranchero omelet is my go to. great aroma and amazing food. Always a go to when we have visitors from out of town. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Yummy food... breakfast, lunch and dinner Had the Ranchero Omlet it was delicious and the refried potatoes are very good for only $7.95 read more

Service was very good. No complimentary chips and salsa , like most Mexican restaurants. Had the combination meal. With beef taco, and beef enchilada. The portions were small for the price of 10.99. The hot sauce selection was good. Was still hungry when I left. read more

Great Mexican sit down restaurant on the long road trip from Scottsdale to LA! They have great tacos, burritos, quesadillas and even have bottled beer & clean bathrooms. Woohoo! read more

This is just a little place off of 95 on Main St. in desert town of Quartzsite, so I was not expecting much. They surprised me, though! I had two delicious fish tacos. My girlfriend had the Chile relleno and cheese enchilada combo plate with beans and rice. The relleno was lightly breaded so it had lots of Chile and very good flavor. Refried beans did not have too much cheese like some places. Overall it was a tasty surprise. The servers were attentive and friendly and the local patrons were also very hospitable. Highly recommended. read more

Was an ok place overall. Food was a bit bland. Server was less then a server. Took our order, brought the food and then our check. No interaction, how is it, nothing. My taco grande salad was a green salad in a bowl. Nothing taco about it read more

Taco Mio - This was a mio special but it was so good I forgot to take the photo - Mexican Near Me - Quartzsite, Arizona

We stopped here on our way to L.A the machacado burrito was good. The waitress was very nice and friendly. Good pancakes, good coffee and good portion size of rib steak and eggs. Place overall nice, clean and was glad they had high chairs and a booster seat for my kids. They don't have changing tables in the bathroom, but it was clean. read more

See all

Great little place in town to stop by if you don't want the regular fast food chain. They will make it just how you like it and to-go. Sometimes hard to find while on the road so we were happy we found this as an option. Also supporting a small business is a plus and they are friendly and grateful. By the way... did I mention they have tequila?! read more

This place was cute and true to it's Hispanic culture, the younger waitresses seemed very nice and perky.some of their older staff seemed very off and unfit for their position there except Pamela she was amazing and really held the place together,such a beautiful soul. read more

We ate here last year and food was good, prices reasonable. This year with my chillies rellanos we were not offered chips and when we inquired were told we would have to order some. I've never had Mexican food without chips! Dinner consisted of 2 skinny rellanos , very little if any egg batter, a small scoop of rice and-beans. Sad- we won't be back. Sheri read more

Very friendly and efficient service. We will definitely come back When passing through Quartzsite. The food was good the drinks were good and overall a very nice experience. Highly recommended. read more

Clean & tasty! Good service as well. Salsa was homemade and chips were great, not too salty or greasy. It's older but they keep it clean, which is always a plus! Making it a Regular stop for our family. read more

I'm from Texas so I have a certain expectation when I order Mexican food. While the food was good it just lacked the spiciness and flavor that I look for in my food. I ordered the Carna Asada plate when it came it was a large piece of slightly tough meat. It was hard to cut with a knife to make tacos out of it. The torillas were good and sides were also acceptable. I might give them a try again just to be fair. read more

Tried this place for lunch. Seemed clean and food looked good. I ordered grande taco salad with beef and my husband had taco dinner. Portions were a little small and my salad had very little lettuce. Taco shell was greasy and no flavor. Taco plate was good but still hungry. Food seems really authentic, beef was very flavorful and tasty, guacamole was a little waxy. Coca Cola was delicious. They seem to be capitalizing on the lack of choice in town. I think I'll pack a lunch next time. read more

Great experience today!!! I had a chorizo, ham, sausage and bacon burrito which was great and only ate half. My wife had the huevos rancheros plate and she said it was great!!! Definitely recommend for breakfast!!! We'll be back!!!! read more
