    Well one bad review of one star so I decided to roll the dice and give this place a try. Ordered three taco plate that came with rice and beans. Ordered birria, carne asada, and Al pastor. Also ordered two taco plate that came with fries. Both combo dish came with drink but one of the drink with we got pumpkin spice horchata. Well, dang... First time I came to a taco place where I couldn't tell the difference between Al pastor and carne asada. They both pretty much tasted same, meat was little bit on the dry and chewy side. Also did not have much flavor. Birria one was pretty good. Taco plate was way better, I guess they are known for their birria tacos which was pretty good. But I've had way better birria tacos at other place. The salsa was one little spicy don't know what kind of flavor and other green salsa which was not bad. Over all I was disappointed and really not worth 30+ bux after tip. I would not be coming back here again.

    Mangonada! Mmm

    Food was great- large quantity- and I'm excited to have a mangonada near by for the hot summers - we will be back- love the melon refresher as well!

    First time here. Took a good minute looking over the menu. The girl at the register took our name and asked if it was for here and then told us to take our time. We ordered our meals. As we were finishing, people were coming in ordering, they mentioned the black Friday deal of $1 tacos. It upset me a bit because I feel the girl could have mentioned that. We are not from this area and we're not familiar with the establishment. I looked around the windows and no sign of the deal either. I had just finished mentioning to my partner how good the tacos were. My only complaint was that a few chips to go with my beans would have been the perfect combo. Prices are cheaper but the plates are also smaller compared to like a Filibertos.

    Limes they just threw in the bag

    I don't think I'll be coming back here. I wanted to try it out because for the price it seems great $3-4 tacos when some places can charge $7+ these days. So price was great. However, I walk in to pick up my order. The lady working the register was in the back. Which was fine but the guys behind the kitchen know she isn't there and I couldn't even get a "we'll be right with ya", a look in my direction, nothing. After 2 min or so the lady comes from the back and a few minutes later I got my order. The first thing I see is that the limes have been just carelessly thrown into the foil they wrap the tacos in. So I had limes just thrown into the bag. So this was strike 2 showing me you all don't care. Then as I get to my pollo tacos I see they have melted Kraft singles cheese on the taco. Which was just unappealing. I tried one but it wad gross. They are also really heavy handed with the cilantro but that's just me. I won't be returning.

    Gas station nacho cheese sauce, small portions, way overpriced, and automatic tips slipped in the bill. One and done!

But, we were disappointed with the Yelp app. We have used it numerous times to get on the wait list at Vito's. For some reason the app did not offer that option this time so we had to phone the restaurant.

Boy did I find it…read more There are a few Vito's in the Phoenix area, and all had great reviews and photos that made my mouth water. Ultimately I chose the Mesa store because it was the original and I wanted to see Mesa. We started with a basic garlic cheese bread appetizer and it was great. The calamari was tempting but we'll save that for next time. Wife ordered fettuccine alfredo with shrimp and I ordered the usual Chicken Parmesan which came with a side of pasta. It was actually a harder choice than usual because I walked thru the restaurant before I ordered and so many dishes looked good, as did the pizza. But I went with the usual. Let's start with the wife, which truly speaks to the five stars because she frankly doesn't love Italian food. She eats it when I beg. And she loved it. She actually proactively mentioned she wanted to go back. That's like 7 stars right there it's so abnormal. I agree with her. The chicken parm was fantastic. Amazing. To top it off, our server was great and when I mentioned we were new to the area and it was our first trip she was so nice telling us the history of the original and the other stores, and the manager later stopped by to continue that conversation as the server told her we were new. I mentioned that I live closer to the Scottsdale store, and she said it's the same food and I'll like it just as much. I'll have a hard time deciding which shop to return to - it might be worth the drive to the original just for the ambiance, but I'll give the other a try soon because it was just that good! 5 stars. Or 7 if you ask my wife.

The wait time between each varied, so there was about a 15 minute gap between the first and last orders. Not a big deal, but a bit of confusion when the last to order a sausage and pepperoni came out before the second to last order, which had the same pie type. The pies themselves were good size for one to two people and had lots of toppings. The carnitas was the standout and what I would go back for. Neither the pepperoni and sausage or cheese were memorable, but hit the spot nonetheless. Overall, the pizzas probably sit around a 3.5, with most of the group leaving the large doughy crust behind, but enjoying the pizzas. The atmosphere was a 4.5 and I am sure the beers are close to on par or would bring my score up- definitely for next time I come in. Looking forward to trying this again when I can make the most of all they have to offer.

She immediately told us the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes (we arrived at 7:19 and they close at 8), which already made the experience feel a bit rushed. We ordered a deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza, a Caesar salad, fries, and water. The salad and fries came out quickly and were good, but we waited until 7:52 for the pizza. During that time, several staff members including what seemed to be a manager, were loudly yelling back and forth across the restaurant about staffing and schedules. With no music or TV volume, it was impossible not to hear, and it felt very unprofessional. Meanwhile, our water glasses sat empty. I had to ask three separate times for refills, and the third time I actually had to get up and find our server at the bar, where she was sitting, still discussing the schedule. When the pizza finally arrived, it was delicious. But basic things like Parmesan and pepper weren't offered. I had to flag someone down to ask. And even though we'd just received our food, the lights on the patio were turned off while we were eating, and we were brought a box very quickly, which felt like a not-so-subtle hint to leave. Overall, the food was good, but the customer service and atmosphere really took away from what should have been a nice birthday dinner for my daughter. Very disappointing experience.

Today I ordered a pepperoni and pineapple slice, and the toppings were literally just laid on top in the center. They didn't add any extra cheese to help it melt together or make it fresh. It's like they take an old slice, throw new toppings on it, and call it good. They didn't used to do this. They used to add cheese, heat it properly, and the slices were actually good. Unfortunately, the last four or five times I've ordered a slice, it's been disappointing every time. Literally the last two slices I've gotten I took one bite, and just threw it in the trash!
