Mexican food cheese crisp margaritas good service mini combo casual happy hour green chili spicy food tequila salsa bright beef dinner meats lunch green sauce town parking flour tortillas
JK Grence

The cheese crisp is one of the best in town . It's properly crisp, and they make the cheese crisp tortillas in-house. For dinner , have sour cream enchiladas , a monument to dairy goodness.

Phoenix New Times

If you're smart, you'll start with a gooey, bubbling hot cheese crisp , made on a fabulous house-made flour tortilla and best eaten with the spicy bright red salsa ! Read more

Saved from condemnation by the direct intervention of Barry Goldwater, the Second Street location of this decades-old Mexican restaurant is definitely one of Arizona's culinary landmarks . Read more

Erik Rowley

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the valley! Beautiful & large interior with exotic decor & history of the family that owns this restaurant . Margaritas are fantastic & la comida tambien!

Robert Choate

Wow! Everything is great. I was blown away by the green corn tamales . Simple. Flavorful. Come often.

Phoenix New Times

For a taste of vintage Scottsdale, this Mexican restaurant is one of the best places to kick back for an afternoon of tequila sipping or knocking back a margarita or two.

Start with a Margarita or Michelada and mix both salsas to combine a burst of flavor. Our Choices are Carne Asada y Enchilada , Carne Asada Burro with Enchilada , or Tacos al Carbon .

Phoenix New Times

Try to get in on the dark, cozy cantina side of the bar . It's more comfortable and more quiet (although that's really just a matter of degree when season's in full swing). Read more

Jon B.

Definitely get the cheese crisp with green chilies and onion . The tacos were also excellent.

Sandra Marks-Webster

Delicious chile relleno and shredded beef taco and skinny margarita ! Waitress was very nice and efficient.

Vasundhara Ray

Great Mexican food and atmosphere.

Jamie F

Yum yum yum authentic Mexican delisciousness. Beware of redder salsa . Hot!! But great. And FYI fajitas are easily enough for 3 peeps.

Nadine Younger

Family-owned. A favorite in Old Town . Close to Giants Stadium in Scottsdale.

Maximum Burger

Nice folks, cool spot, cool decor. Traditional family style Mexican but just not that great despite high-midrange pricing. Tacos al carbon probably the worst I’ve had, no offense.

Doug Baer

Burritos and beer . I like the chips and salsa ... And refried beans , too.

Mavis Shaw

Great family restaurant that's been open for many generations. Excellent food and service

Chris B

Great margaritas ! Great Carne Asada . And of course chips and salsa --

Caye Briones

The service is usually pretty good, BUT you should try to avoid the "busy season" during the baseball preseason. Wait times are LONG around that time of year...

Mavis Shaw

Great family owned restaurant for generations. Service & food was excellent.

Heather Jackson

Get the mini combo platter, 4 different yummy tastes!!

Ricky Potts

They have a really good happy hour featuring food and drinks. You get better prices sitting in the bar .

Patty Robles

Can't decide what to have? Try the Mini Combo plate. Perfect!

Tim Cairl

Awesome Salsa and Lime Juice Margaritas , perfect on a warm day!

Cheearra Esquerra

For A Beverage, Try Their Iced Tea With Lemon .

Cheearra Esquerra

For An Entrée, Try The Los Olivos Steak Fajitas .

Tip the waiters it will please them! And tip if you are having takeout !!!

You get a lot of food for the money although its a bit pricy . Food was good.
