15 Best Mexican Restaurants near Show Low

“This is a cozy, casual little mexican food place that has very authentic food.
I highly recommend the chimichanga and the chili relleno! Look at the size of the portions! This is my go to at just about any mexican restaurant, and I can say that they are at the top, because the other places aren't even open anymore. Mom and pop places.“

“Great food and very good service“

“Our family loves El Charro!“

“Best beans on the mountain. All the food is great. The service is always outstanding. The owners and staff genuinely care about quality.“

“So good!! Got the chicken quesadilla and my husband got the barbacoa tacos… for sure will be back! Friendly service and quick!“

“Earlybird happy hour best deal on appetizers!“

“Aliberto's is excellent no matter the location. Cabeza burrito is great. This location has tremendous flair on the outside and inside. The ladies were nice as always. The salsa is great. Got the chips so can dip and the cucumber. This isn't another lame bertos. Put some respect on Aliberto's.“

“Brooke provided excellent service, keeping the glasses full and did a good job of being friendly but not invasive. We ordered the fired zucchini sticks as an appetizer and they were super fresh at arrival to the table. She promised that the Camarones Al Ajo had some heat and they delivered, bringing a perfect amount of sweat to the experience. Adding a roasted jalapeno as I did may not have been necessary. Tails on the shrimp when served in such a spicy saucy delicious salsa were a bit of a complication, but when that's the worst part of the meal, it's quite overcome by the excellent flavor and fine quality, which was yet again outclassed by the level of service.
Would definitely come here again, and next time try a steak to see if that is as masterfully prepared as my shrimps were.“

“Always very clean, the staff are friendly and attentive. The food is always fresh and warm! Shelly is an amazing manager. Often I hear her training new staff, she is patient and gives thorough instructions. Her sunny personality carries throughout the restaurant!“

“Love this place. Best Mexican food on the Mtn.“

“We do recommend El Patron but we had a bad experience recently. My wife and I picked up an order to go consisting of Chicken flautas and Enchilada a La Crema chicken. We had to throw everything in the trash because the entire order tasted like fish. It was absolutely disgusting and very disappointing because we have had good food there before. In fact, El Patron is normally our go to in Pinetop. Luckily, we only ate a small amount and did not get sick.“

“Real Fresh Mexican Food! We were in a pinch and needed food for a meeting and Aliberto’s to the rescue. Food was amazing and warm, even the chip, when we received it. The salsa were so flavorful! Highly recommend Aliberto’s Wagon Wheel.“
