    Machaca, eggs, beans, salsa

    My husband was looking for a good breakfast while waiting for our pup to come through surgery this morning. He found Zula's, ordered Machaca and eggs and said it was fabulous. Tasted fresh with homemade tortillas, more of those were offered and he accepted because they were really good. They were kind and allowed him to keep his table while he waited for our dog, they had fast WIFI, clean bathrooms and good coffee. He ended up staying for lunch, had crispy fish tacos, which came with rice and beans, all very good. He brought home for me a slice of German chocolate cake, again homemade, and it ranks right up there with one of the best slices of cake I have had in twenty years! Thank you Zula's! Our dog is fine, home now, doing very well!

    Chorizo gravy and biscuits

    While my wife and I were waiting for freight to come out of Nogales we decided to find somewhere to eat breakfast. We did not go wrong with Zula's. The waitress was very attentive and made sure are coffee was always full The food was spot on. I had the ham steak, and the wife had chorizo gravy and biscuits. Next time in Nogales we will stop back in. Or maybe later for lunch

Walking in honestly feels like stepping into a hacienda. There's a gorgeous fountain in the center and a mix of seating areas - some more loungy if you're just having drinks, others perfect for coffee or a full breakfast. There's even an upper level with a bar-style balcony, which is where we sat, and it was such a great view. They are dog-friendly in the outdoor areas (I had mine in a stroller), and the staff could not have been more accommodating - they even helped me carry her up the stairs. Service overall was amazing. We had multiple servers checking on us, which just shows how well staffed and attentive they are, especially since it was pretty busy with the buffet crowd. We heard their buffet is really good, but we weren't quite that hungry, so we ordered off the menu. I got the huevos rancheros, and I'm not kidding - the beans alone made the whole trip worth it. I don't know what they're doing back there, but they need to keep doing it. The eggs and red sauce were also so good. My girlfriend got the chiles rellenos, and just watching her cut into them with that perfect cheese pull told me everything I needed to know - she confirmed they were delicious. The decor is beautiful and full of Mexican culture, the space feels really inviting, and overall it was just such a great experience. If you're in Nogales and want something nice without going too far into the city, this is literally right across the border and absolutely worth it.

I've been going there for about 10 years, and without fail, their seafood is always consistently delicious. Although most of the locals are probably very aware of this small yet mighty restaurant, it's tucked away in an unassuming location - it doesn't look like much from the outside, but as they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." I always order the large ceviche, which comes with tostadas, and I also get a side of warm tortillas. When I get that large bowl in front of me, I just can't wait to dig in. But first, I absolutely must put a couple of drizzles of their out-of-this-world made-in-house tamarind hot sauce on top of each bite. I can't begin to describe how amazing this sauce is - just a little sweet, but hot enough to burn your face off. What makes it amazing is it's flavor is so unique and complex. One time I visited, and I saw that there wasn't any hot sauce on the table. I asked the server and he said that they were in the middle of making a new batch. After telling him that I came all the way from Florida for their sauce (and ceviche, of course), the owner came by and sold me a couple of jars of the deliciousness. We had a great conversation about their food, their hot sauce, and how much love they put into their 30 year plus establishment. Back to the food - the shrimp in the ceviche is perfectly bite-sized and always tender, in perfect proportion to all of the other ingredients. The liquid is delicious enough to slurp up at the end of the bowl. I also started ordering the fried shrimp tacos the last few times I went to La Ley. A small plate comes with a simple warm tortilla and perfectly breaded fried 2-3 pieces of shrimp. Their sauces and toppings bar has everything you need to complete the taco - pickled onions, cilantro, tomatoes, onion, etc. With some of their creamy sauce and more of the tamarind hot sauce, each bite is a moment in heaven. Like the ceviche, the shrimp is tender, the breading is fluffy, not oily, and when you put together spicy, creamy, salty, sweet, and sour, you've got one of the most satisfying dishes I can think of. Clearly, I love this place. As I sit here writing this over a thousand miles away (having just visited), I wish I was back in Nogales to visit La Ley.

But, gotta admit, it's very Mexican for the area. I parked right against the chainlink fence to keep my dog cool in the shade. It was past 5pm on a Monday night and daylight was waning. The place is small. You see the kitchen as soon as you walk in. You take a right turn into the dining area. The place looks old, but it was clean when I came by. The place wasn't very busy when I first walked in, but my entrance must have started the dinner rush. I sat against the window to have a clear view of my car. I ordered chicken enchiladas and it came out quickly. I also got a bowl of salty pasta soup. Service was prompt. My meal didn't look very appealing, but it wasn't bad. Just really salty for my taste. The chicken had some gristle in it. The beans were runny and on the salty side. But in the end, I ate it all because I was hungry. The meal was also very affordable for $12.99.

They're about half the size as a regular empanada so you know what that means half the calories. Lol they come in pineapple pumpkin and apple. Each flavor was very tasty. The thing I like about empanadas is that they're not too sweet and these were just like that. I especially like the apple filling. It had a little bit of what seems to be cinnamon and it was again not too sweet, but perfectly sweet. Of course, and why am I the thing that makes an empanada great is also the crust. It was perfectly crispy on the outside. He's empanadas are the superstars! Another reason I love this place is because they're training people who have disabilities for employment. I had Chile Riano's with beans and rice. Everything tasted like the Mexican food that I love in Tucson. The portions are pretty large for the Rihanna's and then the sides were not overwhelming just right. I got to chill Reynolds and I ended up taking one home. I definitely recommend you giving this place to try especially because of what they do for the community. The prices were very inexpensive as well. If you're looking for a fun day trip and then you want a good meal this is a great place to stop while supporting the community. All the staff was very nice as well as the students being trained which you couldn't really tell who is who. And I appreciate that too! Please support them!
