I went there specifically for their huitlacoche quesadilla. Per David's recommendation, we tried the mixiotes special. It's a slow cooked lamb and port dish in red sauce, not spicy. It was so delicious. We brought the leftover home to make tacos ? after adding so cheese.

This is authentic Mexican food, the real deal! One of the 3 best Mexican restaurant in the Valley. If you dont love this place either you are not Mexican or you do know sh*t - in which case ypu need to stick to Macayos or Taco Bell with your like-minded kind.

Be prepared to overpay for half decent food. Also beware of their 15% Service Fee with a party of 5 or more. Notice it is not considered a tip in their eyes nor is it a gratuity fee. It is a Service Fee. They don’t mention this fee or bring it up. I noticed this fee while paying my bill.

Food and Service are no longer the same as when they first opened. What bothered me alot and made me lose my appetite was that i Found a hair in the barbacoa. Health department should check if everyone in the kitchen has proper food handling credentials. Very upset that this place is no longer on my list of little gems in the neighborhood. And then on top of that they charge you a 15% gratituity fee as part of your visit. The problem is that they hand you the receipt with a pen expecting you to double Tip. After you already paid a gratituity fee on your total.

The food here was very tasteful. We had lengua, chicken & carnitas tacos. Along with a carnitas burrito, beans, rice & Modelo & Dos Equis beers. Our server, David (I believe that was his name), was so kind, helpful with the menu & how the dishes came since it was our first time here. My wife & I will be back when we're out visiting the east valley, we highly recommend this restaurant.

Quality usually doesn’t come quickly. Be prepared to wait a bit as this isn’t turn-and-burn service. And be prepared to taste some amazing food. It’s hand made, everything. And you can taste it. Wow, is really all I can say about the mole poblano! My margarita was also made by hand, not poured from a batch. My server was very friendly and attentive when I needed something.
