They don't have quite the selection of the other place, but the food is very good. My only criticism would be. There was not much in the way of carrots left by the time we got there on Sunday and they put the guacamole on the chips instead of giving it to you on the side. So the chips got sort of soggy by the time we got home. I will definitely have the shrimp tacos again. It was delicious and my son was very pleased with his Carne Asada tacos with guacamole. We also had a Carne Asada quesadilla and the famous chips with the guacamole already on them. Everything tasted very good. The inside is not anything fancy, but there's a few seats and there's a salsa bar with really nice salsa, limes, and if you can go when they are not out of carrots, there are carrots. I wished that their pickled carrots had more garlic in them. So I guess that would be my second criticism or more of a suggestion. The people there are very nice and if you can find the place you should go.

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.

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!

I ate here a couple differents days and at different times and each time my meal was made to order with care and thought. The owner is hands on and she will most likely be the one preparing your food. Its obvious, at least to me, that Marla cares about her customers and the foods she serves. The meal I enjoyed here was prepared fresh and made to order. Good comfort food is here and if you happen to see it open, worth a stop and support. The restaurant runs short week hours and is not open every day. But when she is open the food is consistent and good. 4 Stars a solid little eatery with good comfort food 00867

There was a small seating area outside which was pet friendly. That spot was taken by a family so we ate inside at the bar top. The place was clean and smelled fresh. We were greeted promptly when we came in and we were attended to quickly. After looking over the menu we ordered and our food came up very quickly thereafter. It was fresh and very tasty! I had a chicken bacon avocado sandwich with fries and my travel partner had a burger and fries. Both of us were pleased. Turns out the woman (Marla) that greeted us and served us was also the owner of the restaurant and the motel. She was extremely personable and it was a pleasure to chat with her. I definitely would recommend this little gem if you are traveling through or camping nearby! Quality service and food .... you can't beat that!

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.
