Traveling and we love to eat out, if course! Just the chips and salsa I could of eaten as my meal. The food was delicious
Been a family favorite for years. The Martinez family carries on the tradition of delicious Mexican food excellence we’ve come to love. Crispy beef tacos with the red salsa are my personal favorite. Can’t wait for my next meal!! Thank you for what you do..
Great food, quick service, friendly staff. Got there right before 7pm, but they still let us in and didn’t rush us. Get the house Margarita on the rocks with salt. Best price around!! Chips and salsa before every meal! Excellent.
The restaurant is located in an old building that doesn't scream fine dining, but don't let that fool you. You don't have to worry about parking because there's a big dirt/gravel lot to park in. There's lots of tables and plenty of servers, so you can get in and out rather quickly. But it's the food that will make you a repeat customer for sure. The beef tacos were pretty bland until I added their delicious salsa. My husband said the same about the chicken enchiladas, so we'll remember that next time. BUT, the sopapillas are absolute perfection. Ask them to bring them at the END of the meal so they'll be warm when you drizzle the honey on them. I've never had better!
This gem was recommended to us by a friend. We drove out of our way to eat here, and we are so glad we were told about this place! The food was excellent, the service was quick and friendly, and the establishment was clean and had a pleasant atmosphere. The food was served quickly, piping-hot and fresh, and the prices were lower than I have seen in a restaurant since before the pandemic. All the staff is creating an awesome establishment! Put this place on your list of restaurants to visit if you are anywhere in the area. They will not disappoint!
We have been driving by this place for the last year and finally decided to stop for lunch. I ordered the #1 lunch combination, which came with a cheese enchilada and a taco. Hubby ordered the #3 lunch combination, which came with a burrito, enchilada style, and a taco. Both combinations included rice, beans, and sopapilla. Great food and great service.
The food is good and the serving sizes very large. Definitely worth the price! The atmosphere is very comfortable and reminds me of family owned restaurants in my hometown. The service was also great! Our waiter was super attentive, helpful, and took initiative to make sure we were happy with our experience. Best place near Camp Verde for sure!
Excellent food every time at extremely reasonable lunch special prices which include a soft drink or coffee. I've been there many times and always excellent.
