Delicious! Family in town for a visit & decided to stop in for a quick lunch. Chicken chimi was loaded with shredded chicken & the carne asada buritto was enough for 2 of us to share. We'll definitely make this a regular stop!

I've been going here since November 2023 which i believe is close to when they opened. The food is absolutely fantastic, way above the drive thru taco store offerings. There must be close to 100 items on the menu. I've certainly not had all, but I will share what I've had.First, the breakfast burritos, I get these at least once per week. You order then all day but from 6am to 11am they are only $5. Compartively their about 2/3 the size of a corporate brand noted for its guac. I'm a fan of the bacon, potato and egg burrito which is enough for breakfast and a quick snack later.On the unique side is the Barria Ramen. A spicy dish of barria meat and juice with ramen noddles. Very tasty fusion.Beef tacos. THE GOLD STANDARD TACO for me now. These are the tacos I should have been served when I sat down at 'upscale' Mexican resturants. Whenever I Ran To The Border these are the taco's I Yo Quiero'd.I have had several other items which tick all the muy bueno boxes. The one disappointment, in a fair and honest reivew, I wasn't a fan of the taco pizza. I love taco pizza and all the months that are not May, and I can't get a take and bake taco grande, The Bell has to do. So I was prepared for a hard shell tostado foundation. Their version, at the least the one I got, was essentially a wet quesadilla. But so what. I wasn't a fan of one item representing less than 10% of my total orders. I still have 80+ items I haven't tried. And maybe they read this and look at an area of opportunity.It's really hard to find good unique food in east Mesa that isn't some national chain. I really hope after reading this you give them a shot. its hard for local businesses to succeed and I really don't want this place to close. (I am not affliated with the place in any way. They just take my money)Parking: plenty there.Wheelchair accessibility: One floor, sidewalk ramp is convienent.

The food is fresh and delicious! If you want the rolled chicken tacos come early! They have a few booths and tables. It took about 10 minutes for the food. They open early for breakfast! They have specials every day!Parking: Mid-day parking is hard to find.

Service was great, friendly and fast. Got the Arizona burrito, carne asada burrito and street tacos (birria, carne asada, pollo). Everything was delicious and can't wait to try other items. The menu selection was huge.

UPDATE: as of 2/24/2024 I changed my stars to 5 because their food is always excellent and large portions for the price! They have great deals daily, including the $5 breakfast burritos everyday before 10am This place has become a new weekly favorite for me and my family! The last 2 times I called, the phones were answered so hopefully that's a positive change I can continue to look forward to. I'm going to give this place a 3 stars. Their food is good, but their service is just ok. I have tried to call several times in the last month and I'm NEVER able to get thru. Upon arriving today, I asked if they accept calls and they said yes, but not when they're busy. I walked in 3 mins after I called and they claimed it was PACKED inside. There's 3 people in here total, 2 eating. They're not busy. Don't even bother to call cause they won't answer

We were so excited for this place to open up right near us. My husband is Mexican as well and has enjoyed having some real Mexican food close by. The food is delicious. We've so far had the birria pizza, burritos, etc. There's always SO MUCH FOOD that you get for the value and it's always delicious!
