We found this gem on a Monday late afternoon before a GCU basketball game, so there were not many people there when we arrived. The parking lot is large and well lit. The restaurant is quite a large space with plenty of room for dancing and a band which they have on the weekends. They also offer outdoor seating. Our server was friendly and brought us the best margaritas. Two of us ordered the fajitas and they were the best I have had! Massive shrimp cooked perfectly- not overcooked like some often do- with loads of onions and peppers. Everything was thinly sliced and so tasty. It was nearly impossible to finish this dish. It could have, and should have been, shared. But instead I took leftovers home. This is a big dish for the price, and one I want to go back for.Either the owner or a manager came by to see how we were doing and then he sent over two pieces of cheesecake. I really don't like cheesecake, but this was ridiculously good- not too sweet at all. So I finished that too! There is so much on their menu that I have to go back to try more.

This is an old mall located in the Sundial Plaza. What's nice is it's actually open so you can walk through a piece of history. When you first walk in, you're actually on the second floor. I saw a barbershop and a gift shop - it was the back/side entrance for those 2 businesses. Other than that, there was nothing else. You can walk down the stairs and I saw some restrooms (only for the Los Portales customers). It's a pretty small "mall" about the size of an apartment building. It was neat as well to see the decorations on the roof and the historic-style staircase.

This place is divey in the most trendy and affectionate way! Reminiscent of Puerto Peñasco's welcoming vibe allThat is missing is the beach! Live music and the rellenos I had were so tasty! The beans delish! Will certainly come back, the grilled chicken my husband had was so flavorful. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Recommend to spend a lazy Saturday enjoying great food and entertainment.

Every time I've eaten here we always order several dishes and all share the food like a Buffet. Therefore we order anywhere between 4-6 dishes and split them all. In the past within the last two years of ordering the food has always been good and each had their own taste. More recently they have upped their prices due to the economy. But I'm suspicious they have also changed their recipes to substitute for cheaper ingredients? I ordered over $60.00 worth of different dishes from chow mien to chicken dishes, rice and stir fry type. Yet very disappointingly all the dishes had the same mushroom flavor. For one I enjoy all the different flavors each dish should usually offer, secondly I'm not a fan of mushroom. And nothing I ordered had mushrooms in the description. So I do not know where this flavor is coming from unless cross contamination or they are using a new sause or oil with mushroom in every dish?! My entire family was disappointed and due to this I don't think we will be visiting again unless it's just to get their Boaboa Teas, as I still think this cities has the best coconut flavor one.

I'm very picky when it comes to Steaks and this place had one of the best ribeye and shrimp I've had in a while. Staff was very courteous

The food is so good and the staff are AWESOME!!! Really great Mexican food with culture here. Always drop by and eat when I am in Phoenix!!
We are from California in town for my Graduation at Grand Canyon University and wanted to get som good authentic Mexican food. You can tell when places try too hard and screw up Mexican food by overloading it with cheese or messing up beans and rice and this place did it right. The food was delicious. The carne asada tasted just right and the plates were loaded with sides. You can tell that this is a family run restaurant and they know how to treat their customers. Looks like on weekends they have a dance floor as well. Somos de California en estavamos in Phoenix para mi graduación en la Universidad de Grand Canyon y queríamos obtener una buena comida mexicana auténtica. Puedes saber cuándo los lugares se esfuerzan demasiado y arruinan la comida mexicana sobrecargándola con queso o desarmando frijoles y arroz, y este lugar lo hizo bien. La comida era deliciosa. La carne asada sabía a la perfección y los platos estaban cargados de lados. Se puede decir que este es un restaurante familiar y que saben cómo tratar a sus clientes. Parece que los fines de semana también tienen una pista de baile.

So far for my first time being here this place really does need Renovation. But when my food started to arrive, I was astonished realizing that this food is amazing. Apart from the first impression this place is great to bring family, or just drink and listen to live music!
