“Friendly service. Authentic food. Decent prices. My husband, three year old daughter and I loved our food here. Our bean burritos were perfect! My daughter loved hers so much she ate the entire thing (and had to tell the owner it was so good). It is also nice to support an establishment that values the family and patriotism. Thanks Sammy's!“
“Great chicken nachos. Chips made onsite. Delicious salsa. Paige was an absolutely fantastic server. The only thing I didn’t like was that the happy hour $5 margaritas are premixed and very sweet. Owner is very attentive. Beautiful inside with available patio.“

“This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in Oro Valley. We always get the pollo chipotle and split it. Tons of food and Sooo tasty. We keep saying we are going to try something else but never do. Laura is our favorite waitress, excellent food and service!“
“Food and service was great. The only negatives I have are. The food wasn't as spicy as I like....but I like a spicy that 98% of most people can't eat because it's too hot. The table tops are sticky from whatever kind if finish was on them...the place was clean!“
“Two things make Carlotas stand out in a sea of Mexican restaurants. First and foremost is Ricardo. Hands down one of the kindest and most capable waiters I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I spent a few weeks in the area two years ago and would frequent Carlotas. Fast forward two years later, I walk in and sit down at the bar and Ricardo GREETS ME BY NAME! He’s just an absolute joy to chat with and I always make it a point to come see him and eat at Carlotas anytime I’m in the area. As for the food, it’s delicious. But it’s even better if you come during happy hour when you can eat like royalty on a working class wage. I recommend the quesadilla as it’s massive and served at half price during happy hour. Best deal around. Come and check them out!“
“I stopped by the oracle location and let me tell you! It was heaven on a plate! My biggest regret was I only got 4 tacos. Everything from the food to the service was amazing. Thank you so much for bringing so much happiness to everyone, or me at least. ❤️??“
“This place is cute as heck and has seriously good food - fresh ingredients, well prepared. Chili is great, as are chicken tacos. LOVE the salsa! EXCELLENT service... prompt and friendly! Tonight, it got really busy really fast - and the two servers kept up with everything without a hitch. Live music was a lovely added touch. Their margaritas are sweeter than I like, so I may stick to Modelo or Palomas in the future. But we'll be back as regulars for sure.“
“I don’t leave reviews often however I need to tell you that Nico’s Breakfast Burritos make my day. We have been getting their breakfast burritos for almost 8 months now and they are something I look forward to every week. They are so consistent. The food seems fresh, hot and delicious. They blow Filiberto’s out the water. We typically only get their breakfast burritos so that’s where this review is regarding however we did get their chimichangas once and it was good! ? you won’t regret and no affiliation!“
“The atmosphere was very cozy, our waitress did a great job, and the food was superb. I ordered a chicken burrito with guacamole, and it was so big, I had a 2nd meal with the other half. My sister and I both ate for $22 , including drinks and tip.“
“Highly recommend this place for the carne asada burritos and the rolled tacos. One of the best I've ever had. The guy at the counter is fast and helpful. Small seating inside but the patio is nice if you want to eat there. Very clean place.“
“Excellent tacos, from many different parts of Mexico and mid America. I had 3 taco plate with selections from 3 different regions. All delicious.Staff very friendly and helpful. Margaritas very good. Bright and fresh setting with lots of attractive indoor and outdoor sitting. Parking is ample during dinner hours.My only complaint is the standing in line to order. We came in a group during dinner hour. While I do much like the restaurant, I will NEVER do that again. Standing in one long line to order and pay for food took 20+ minutes. Then being served 20+ minutes later is unacceptable.I won't be back.“
“I am from Arizona and this food was so amazing I can’t stop talking about it here back home. The waiters were so extraordinary and attentive. I actually visited two times the day I was in Texas and we had brunch and came back for dinner. Both times were really good :)“
“The beans are come of the best I’ve had. The taco was excellent and definitely home made in every way. The green enchilada sauce is so tasty and just the right spice. You can sample the enchilada sauces and salsa to find your fit. Great service and the chef came out to say hi. Delicious food.“
“I always come here, and I love it! Never had a complaint until now though...I have a hard time processing peoples' words, as my last item, I ordered an item for the first time that did not list that it had guac, sour cream, or pico. I can't have avocado.I thought the kind lady said, "Would you like anything else?" Instead of "Would you like everything?" So I got my item with avo, I tried to return it but they wouldn't exchange it even after explaining I have a hard time understanding people.. I left really sad.All I would like to ask is to please rephrase that for people like me who are hard of hearing.“
“This place is phenomenal! Best service, the salsa is perfect, they made my custom margarita perfectly, and the Molinito Asada Special could not have been better! My only regret that I haven't found this place earlier! Ethel is amazing bartender/server and I can't say enough great things about this place. Seriously best in Oro Valley.“
“A must have everytime I visit AZ.The best street tacos anywhere and the lobster quesadilla made me slap an old lady it was so good.Kid-friendliness: Staff is always kool. They talked to my 3yo when she said hi, so thats a plus considering they were busy busy busy.“
“The ambiance was super chill, a come as you are sort of vibe. We hung out for a few beers then ordered food and I think the server came to check on us once which I appreciated because we were just passing time and we told him that. The food was hot and delicious. The birria tacos were moist, flavorful, and they had a nice salsa bar. Not superb but good. We also ordered their baked potato and it wasn't as good as other places. The toppings could have been more generous as we were left with a plain potato 1/4 of the way down but maybe we should have added some more stuff from the salsa bar. Overall, I'd say a nice place to go hang out and have some good tacos.“
