Absolutely amazing tacos and drinks. I'm an Arizona Native. This place has not been influenced by the Midwesterners and snowbirds so the food is still full of flavor and spice. Great salsa bar!!!

Showed up today 9/27 and the door was boarded up and no one answers when you call. Not sure if they are out of business but they should’ve updated their Google account so people don’t drive all the way here for nothing.

Great place - great art, great food! Awesome variety of fresh made salsas - love the Blanco habanero and the Negro habanero, hot and flavorful! House guacamole is unique and definitely worth trying. Great menu!

Ambiance was absolutely astonishing. The artwork is very beautiful and original. The service was absolutely horrible, our server was not attentive at all it took her a while to come back after us saying can we have a minute to look over the menu, my husband tried getting her attention for the bill she looked at him and walked to the next table and never came back. It took her 20 minutes just to come back and ask if my husband needed a refill. The Food: My husband order the Shark plate, it tasted like white fish not shark and definitely no flavor whatsoever. I ordered the smoked Marlin plate, it was subpar.. a little bit more flavor but nothing compared to the food trucks that I've been to on the side of the road. My husband and I were super excited to eat here after dashing and that's how we found out about this place but we really regret spending money on food we could've bought at Taco Bell.

I was there for lunch. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table, and then we had to keep waiting for service after we sat down. There was only one server; she was overwhelmed. She looked new and had some help, but the whole restaurant plus the bar was too much for one person. You can do better and get more help for service.

Lives up to the DDD hype!. This was a fantastic experience. The food was authentic, the service was heartfelt and the vibe is just cool.. We had a great sampling of tacos; the black mole with pork, the tiger shrimp, the brisket and the carne asada. All were amazing. We didn't drink, but the tequila bar and margarita menu looked awesome.

The salsa bar is great as it gives so many variety of different types of salsas. Service was very slow but food was good.

I had this place saved for a long time and it was disappointing. The place is relaxing and the art is nice to look at. Waited about 10 minutes to be sat. Then another 10-15 minutes to get a waiter to come to the table. The 2 tacos and queso fundido took a really long time to come out. Order chips never got them. Asked to have a salsa refilled because I wanted to taste it, never got it refilled. I asked if the tortillas were handmade and was told yes, and no they are not. The meat was tough to bite the I could bite all through the taco. I had to eat it off the taco. Did not care for the chicharrón taco, couldn’t eat it. My husband ordered a casuela and the flavor was not great at all. Do o recommend? No and very likely that I will never come again. They need staff because the one waiter can’t care for the whole restaurant. Apparently the owner is too cheap to hire more people so don’t expect good service.

1 star rating is solely due to my service experience. The food is P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L, which is exactly how I had been amping this place up to anyone I know. You can’t go wrong with any of the Chilango grade tacos this place serves up. I been telling anyone & everyone this. Which is why my last experience here was a complete embarrassment when I brought company with me.

We waited 15+ minutes to be seated. Fine, I put up with it - the food was going to be worth it. The server took our drink orders & never came back. All the while everyone around us were being served. Our drinks never made it to our table. A party who was seated after us placed their order & was served their food. And we sat 35 minutes (I kept track) with no drinks served & no order taken.

I was severely embarrassed as I had amped this place up so much to my friend I brought with me.

The food was amazing - authentic Mexican cuisine. We particularly loved the salsa bar. The Jamaica/Hibiscus Salsa is a must try! We had tacos, burros and will definitely be back for margaritas. I also loved the decor and art!
