Breakfast burritos are the best in town! The owner is a 3d generation owner and so personable, relatable, and kind!

Used to be a regular, but just now an occasional customer due to their early closing hours. Recently ordered a combo and asked for a beef machaca taco instead of ground beef taco and was informed the taco in the combo only comes with chicken or ground beef. I had to order another separate taco with machaca. I would have paid the upcharge, so the service has declined. Will likely reduce my visits to that location. The place is small and feels broken down and not clean.

25th Ave & Van Buren is the BOMB ? FOOD IS GREAT! The staff is friendly and the restaurant was clean. Menudo is tasty, enchiladas and chimichangas are very good. Food has not changed since we moved to the area in 1990. LOVE THIS PLACE. they even have Fry Bread there. Haven't tried it but will let you know how delish it is.

Wow, it was a great homemade style Mexican restaurant and food. We will definitely be back. It's far from Tonopah, but when we are in Phoenix, I know where to go for lunch. Easy on and off the freeway. Going to try the menudo next time for sure.
Kid-friendliness: They love kids. His own grandkids were there for lunch.
Wheelchair accessibility: I have a disability, easy for me to get around
