50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Sun City West

“Chile relleno. Had no relleno! Beans were salty! First and last visit !“

“I love Taco Tuesday here. Ordered 4 tacos with 3 different beef (asada, ground, and shredded). Amazing for only $2.25 each. All had lots of beef on em and the hard taco was fried there and hot. I really enjoy getting my own carrots and salsa. To top it off, the salsa verde (green) was fabulous and they even gave chips with the taco and the chunky red salsa was great.

Really enjoyed the young cashier who is soon departing for the Navy.“

“Went through drive-thru for lunch. The food was super hot and looked even better than the menu pictures.Staff was friendly and gave us lots of green sauce, red sauce and napkins.I ordered the cheese enchiladas with rice and beans and my mom ordered the carnitas bowel. The only complaint was the food had no salt added while cooked ( rice and beans)“

“Always a good time here with a great selection of Mexican food. I like to get their fajitas and margaritas. I recently took my mom here fur her birthday and we had a great time. Their service is friendly and I like that it's locally owned. Come support your local businesses!“

“There were 18-20 of us who called for seating. Not only were we accommodated, but truly welcomed approximately 1 hour later. Our server, Josh, went out of his way to make sure our first visit was outstanding. The food was delicious, served in timely fashion and plentiful. Thank you Josh & staff for such a great experience. We highly recommend Rio Mirage in Surprise, AZ.“

“Decided to try Master Tacos out as I was not pleased with the other local taco shops nearby. What a lovely hidden gem! It is tucked away in a quiet plaza and has a no frill, but CLEAN vibe inside. We went on a Friday evening around 6 PM and there were many other patrons dining inside and ordering for takeout. I stuck with my classic, some version of an Arizona burrito. Hubby got the Carne Asada burrito. Both burritos were quite large and stuffed with plenty of tasty morsels. The food tasted fresh and there was nearly zero grease and literally zero weird textured gristley pieces of meat. The guacamole was bright green and not oxidized or loaded to water it down. They also had a small salsa bar to pack your goodies to go. I've since gone back nearly every week for their Taco Tuesday special - the shredded beef hard taco and carnitas street taco are insane! For $2.25 each they pack a full punch. 2 is enough to fill me up! They do not skimp on the meat! Prices are comparable to the other taco shops that are well known, but the quality is superb, the portions large, and the flavor is consistent👌 Do yourself a favor and give them a try!“

“amazing food, friendly staff highly recommend“

“Just had Analilia’s for the first time today and it was SOO good!!! I got the 3 queso birria taco combo wow. The tacos were filled with meat, the consume was delicious, and the green salsa is AMAZING very different from other green salsas ive tried. 10/10“

“Estos tacos están deliciosos no todo mundo sabe preparar bien la cabeza pero los Tacos de cabeza de aquí están buenísimos además la quesadilla de asada con tortillas de harina recién hechas a mano ahí mismo esta riquísima y a mí casi no me gustan los nopales pero estos tienen un sabor espectacular y sin estar resbalosos, muy recomendado 💯 este lugar. Hacen honor a su nombre y claro que vamos a volver“

“I highly recommend visiting Blanco in Peoria. Bree, Bartender, and Felix, Manager, work extremely hard, provided first class service and exceeded my expectations.“

“One of my favorite places. This is one of 2 places I will order chili rellenos from, they are delicious. They have a few yummy lunch specials. Have tried most of the menu and never disappointed. Every time we get the carne asada cheese crisp and entrees vary.“

“Awesome quesadillas!! Will definitely go back again“

“Carne Asada burrito 12/10 !! Order took maybe 3 minutes super fast and friendly service!! Coming back tomorrow for sure!!“

“AMAZING restaurant.....cool atmosphere and great staff!“

“First time customer! What a great experience! Food was excellent and so was the customer service!“

“I was so excited to return yesterday since it had been a few mos- the food was delicious as always, but the paid for rice and beans were forgotten in my pick up order :( I always spread them on my mulita so it just wasn’t the same… I should have checked the bag… but I was the only customer and staff seemed confident. Saddddd day!“

“Food was good. I'm new to the area. I plan to go back.“

“We love coming to this restaurant! Nando took our order and was so very friendly, offered suggestions, he was helpful and knowledgeable. When he brought our order to our table, he was very personable. When you have employees who literally radiate sunshine, who wouldn’t want to come to your establishment?!“

“super deli. especialmente los tacos de Asada al carbón y tortillas recién echas.“

“Went to the Cantina for the first time this evening. Our server Jodi was top notch !! The food was amazing, and the best part of all they have a large gluten free assortment on their menu for my girls. We can't wait to go and enjoy another meal there again !!!“

“been to Rubios in several states and the food has been excellent in all of them. my favorite Maui tacos ever!“

“I came here for a simple taco and left in an uber after several margaritas later. 10/10 would do again.“

“Literally obsessed with Mary Mar food truck as soon as we found it. Whether it be after a hike or just craving an amazing breakfast burrito . This is your place. We’ve been a handful of times so far and each visit is awesome. This week we stopped for my birthday to try some tacos. Yet ago awesome. Service is friendly, there are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy or take to go. Both red and green hot sauce is awesome, but the red really has a kick. Prices are fair. No parking lot just dirt lot on the corner of Olive and Sarival in Waddell. Straight shot down from the White Tank Regional Park. You’ll thank me later.“

“Awesome place great food great atmosphere and the service was amazing!!“

“First time here for dinner, and ordered the chimichanga (chicken) with rice and beans. It was quite good, and a huge portion for the price. I liked the beans and rice. The chimichanga was full of tender chicken. They placed a bed of pico de gaio (spelling?) and lettuce with guacamole and sour cream. I couldn’t finish it, and took more than half of it home. To drink I had a fountain Coca Cola that was refreshing. While waiting for my order they had a side station of condiments, and I sampled the pickled carrots that had a spicy 🌶️ kick; and some cucumbers. It reminded me of a traditional restaurant back in Milwaukee by the name of El Cabrito 🐐. I had a relaxing time enjoying my dinner. The dining area is clean and has ample seating inside and outside. Bathrooms are clean, and there’s ample parking. Quite a few came in to grab ‘To Go’ orders. There were a few Uber eats; and the drive thru too. It’s 24/7 here.

Update 8/15 — came to try the pork filled chimichanga.“

“I absolutely love this place! From the very first visit, it stood out as one of the best Mexican restaurants around. They use real avocado in their guacamole, which is such a treat! Even though there might be a bit of a wait, it’s totally worth it because the food is always fresh and delicious.
Over time, they’ve gotten faster, but the quality remains top-notch. The customer service is consistently friendly and welcoming. My husband and I usually go through the drive-thru, and while we had one minor mix-up with an order, they handled it quickly and kindly, which we really appreciate.
One of the things I love most is that they let you choose your meat for many dishes. For example, my husband’s favorite is the carne asada fries, which come with delicious guacamole and a variety of meat options. He also loves the three flautas with beef, and those are fantastic too. And sometimes, I’m tempted to try the chicken version of the carne asada fries, which is rare and awesome.
I personally always go for the five rolled chicken tacos, which are loaded with delicious toppings, like guacamole and fresh salsa. You can choose between green or red salsa, and they’re always delicious, though they can be a bit spicy, so definitely test them out first!
I’ve also tried the potato tacos with rice and beans, and they’re beautifully made and incredibly tasty. I always crave those potato tacos!
My husband has also tried the birria, and that’s delicious too. We can’t wait to explore more of their menu.
The only thing I wasn’t as keen on was the chilaquiles, as they didn’t include cheese, and I’m used to having cheese on them. But overall, the experience is fantastic!
All in all, it’s always a pleasure to eat here. We go about once a week, and that speaks volumes about how much we enjoy it. Highly recommend it if you’re in the mood for authentic, delicious Mexican food!“

“First time trying this location. We’d been going to the one on Greenway for years. After going to another restaurant that had an unorganized staff and no a/c, we decided to drive out here and try this. I’m so glad we did. We walked in and the hostess asked if we wanted bar or restaurant. I said I didn’t care, whichever had the shortest wait. We were immediately seated in a booth in the bar, and our server walked over. Manuel, “Manny,” was an older gentleman and very personable. But best of all, he was efficient and attentive, but not bothersome. He brought extra salsa, extra chips without asking. He brought extra water without asking and before we were empty. He checked to make sure we had everything, and at the end of our meal, he made me a balloon animal. Completely unexpected - a nice touch, I haven’t had a balloon animal since I was a kid. Manny made our night and hands down is the best server we’ve ever had. Superb service that doesn’t seem to exist anymore. Thank you Manny!!!! (And the food was good too.)“

“Hands down the best carnitas Ive had in Arizona. Ive been to many Mexican restaurants in AZ that say they have Michoacán style carnitas, but I try them and notice that it’s not the case. The carnitas here are. The meat is tender and the cuerito is like butter.“

“Delicious food
Update: i went a second time and the food was a little disappointing. The burrito was wrapped weird and was falling apart. I felt like i was eating more tortilla than the filling. The chicken on the fries looked like it was old and was hard. Overall won’t be returning again. The churro was hard and looked old too.“

“To come to Detroit to this location for some shrimp tacos is very worth it!!!!! 5 ⭐️ and it’s a family business!!!“

“I’m currently on a mission to find the best chilaquiles in Phoenix, and Canelas Placita is definitely worth mentioning. I ordered the chilaquiles rojos, and the salsa roja estilo Michoacán was the highlight great flavor and authentic taste.

The café de olla was excellent as well, very flavorful and prepared just right. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with good music and friendly customer service.

The only area that could use some improvement is the beans, but overall the food and service were very good.

Canelas Placita is a solid spot if you’re looking for authentic Mexican breakfast options in Phoenix. I’d definitely return.“
