New Mexican Restaurants near Mesa, AZ

“What an amazing find this amazing restaurant! My friend and I decided to give this place a try one weekend and we were so blown away with the food and service from Saad that we went back the following weekend with some family that was in town visiting. Saad remembered us and took such great care of us and our family, the food was fantastic, the ambiance is great but Saad's service is what really elevated the experience for us.“

“Amazing Tacos and Mexican food. This is my favorite spot to get Carne Asada Quesadillas. Jarritos are always stocked up and every times I've been here it's always tasted amazing. Their Salsa is actually really spicy too I love it.“

“Our new go-to dinner out spot. Consistently delicious southwestern food, great variety of options, everything is fresh and plated beautifully. The selection of drinks is great too. I suggest starting with the sampler platter entree and arrive early and be patient there is often a wait to get in but it's always worth the wait.“

“Holy guacamole this place is great. Very cool them of the Carlsbad caverns with so much that reminded me of my hometown in NM. The carne divas was on point. Though I don’t care for the corn in my NM food and it isn’t a cooking practice in NM either, it does fit the Scottsdale/tourist vibe and pallet. We will definitely be back“

“First time at this location and the food was on point and so was the service! Our server, the blonde with tattoos, and the shift leader or manager on duty, who looks like Rosario Dawson, were so attentive and provided alternate options for our food. It’s very rare now a days to go out to eat and have up to par or above par service. We didn’t feel like an inconvenience and it was really nice to be out. Thank you ladies for the world class service.“

“Amazing atmosphere and service. Our waitress,Sam, was absolutely impeccable with the best attitude! The guac was to die for, and what a beautiful area! We recommend sitting outside with the beautiful lights and tree. We went to the Scottsdale location, which did have a long wait as it’s so popular, but it was so worth it! 100% recommend. We absolutely destroyed all of this amazing food. #yummylemon #delicousguac #tastychurroKid-friendliness: Amazing I was having a good time with the clean music“

Gracias por su hospedaje!Kid-friendliness: My boys enjoyed the quesadillas and oysters! Aguas frescas were delicious!Parking: It gets busy and parking lot gets pretty full!“

“Such a great place to fulfill your cravings. We usually get carne asada fries, asada plate, beef taquitos, and bean & cheese burros. I just found out they have menudo! A friend also told me that she loves the fry bread. Sounds like a great combo! Very nice, clean with wholesome food.“

“I love that this place is just slightly away from the center of down town chandler. The food was excellent! I had the Tamale and green chili enchilada, my husband had the stacked enchilada with an egg on top. Their sangria is a great price and super good. My friend got the frozen margarita and it was huge!“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time. I'm surprised I've never been here since I live nearby. Coming from a Mexican family, I know real Mexican food. I'm not sure if the tortillas were homemade, as I didn't try them, but everyone said they were fine. At glance, they didn't look homemade but I could be wrong. My Mom had a margarita and wasn't too excited about it, but that's OK. We're here for the eats, not the alcohol. We did enjoy the country music playing in the background.Chips and salsa. Excellent. I love how they bring you three different salsas to choose from. A good Mexican food restaurant begins and ends with good salsa and chips. This place passes the test. A rule of thumb from our family is, if a Mexican food restaurant has great chips and salsa, the rest of the menu will satisfy.Chicken enchilada soup. Excellent. Flavorful and delicious.Chicken fajitas. Excellent. Sizzling hot and everything was fresh. Chicken had great flavor.Combo plate, carne asada tostada/chicken flauta/shredded beef taco. My Son had zero complaints. Said it was great.Mexican pizza. It was perfect. I love their elote. The flatbread was crispy.Everything had so much flavor.Our Server was a recent hire and she did a fantastic job. I can't wait to eat here again.“

“This is the weirdest review I'm writing and I have felt this conflicted! The ONLY thing I am giving this score is the food, otherwise the owners are rude, they don't even have cutlery or drinks and some menu items are kinda scam!! I suggest only getting Carne Asada fries because it is exactly what you see on the menu, some other menu items are like not even close to what u order. Again I have never had such a good carne asada and I also have never seen such a weird experience haha!“

“It's like the macayos of new Mexico food. It's good, when you want something decent and close by for an easy dinner out, but not a place "you have to go". We enjoyed it but don't feel a need to rush back. They do give you three different types of salsa and a side of beans to go with your chips when they serve it which is a nice touch. And the sopapillas they bring to the table at the end of the meal we're fantastic.“

“A little bit of home!! Little Anita’s was my late husband’s and my favorite restaurant in Old Town ABQ!! I found this location last Fall and I’ve frequented as often as possible. The shredded chicken enchiladas with green chili are just what I need that takes me back to some fond memories of NM!! Love this place !!!“

“I went with wife and friends. Had a great time, Fernando gave us excepcional service and drinks. Soft rancheras songs were playing in the background. We had delicious queso fundido twice and tlacoyos de huitlacoche, it was my first time and it did not disappoint. I had La tampiqueña, the quality of the food was superb but the quantity was a little bit lacking.The creme brulee was not too sweet, so it was perfect for me.Parking: There is plenty of parking.“
