If you are looking for really good Mexican food in PHX look no further and come here! The area might seem a bit sketch but there is nothing to worry about.We had lunch here on a Sunday and the wait was about 45 minutes. We were told to sign in and provide them our phone number so they could call us when ready. They do no let you wait inside due to it being small so you are told to either wait outside or in you car. Once ready, they called us and we were seated. We were a party of 8 so they sat us in a big table. The server came over a few minutes after and took our orders, we ordered:6 agua de jamaica - DELICUOUS AND HYDRATING1 coke1 Dr pepper1 Sope Plate - 3 thick corn patties stuffed with beans and shredded beef. Topped with tomato sauce, lettuce, and ranchero cheese.2 Molcajetes de Mariscos - grilled shrimp, fried shrimp, tilapia, abulon, octopus, crab, grilled cactus, grilled onions, and queso fresco with corn tortillas1 Molcajete A La Mexicana - steak, grilled chicken, homemade chorizo, queso fresco, grilled cactus, and grilled onions with flour tortillas1 Menudo 2 Fajitas Supreme Plates - Steak, chicken, and shrimp sautéed with fresh bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Served on a sizzling skillet with rice beans, guacamole and sour cream.2 Carne Asada Plates - Top sirloin steak served with grilled onions, French fries, salad, rice and beans.EVERYTHING was delicious. The food had so much flavor and it was all made fresh! The menudo was soooo good. It was served hot and had plenty of hominy and meat. The carne asada was nicely grilled and had no fatty pieces. It was easy to eat, thin, and had no chewy pieces. The sopes were loaded with all the good and they definitely did not skimp on the meat. These babies were topped off. The shredded beef was juicy and flavorful.Service was great and we were checked up on several times. I will be back!Total with tip: $335

We tried the two most popular items and our expectations were exceeded. This was the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. We walked in and the restaurant was almost full of locals- to us this was a good sign that we were in the right place.The Birria was hot and fresh, falling off of the bone. So tender and flavorful. The Molcajete was piping hot with a good amount of spice. We got a mix of flour and corn tortillas- everything was fresh and made in house. We asked for two dozen tortillas to take home with us (24 tortillas came out to $9.00).Everyone at the restaurant (servers and other patrons) were pleasant and had no problem answering our questions. I'm excited to bring my family back here to try it.

Food was good . I got the pozole and my Inlaw's got two plates that my mother Inlaw like and Father in-law didn't like it . Service was super slow even tho it wasn't busy. Drinks came out 5-10 after the food came out and when the food came out it took like 3 or 4 trips to bring our all the sides with the main plate and the girl helping with the food was extremely rude . I asked her about our drinks and she said in not your server so I told her to call my server. The surround was dated but hey for what it is it was okay .

We were in Phoenix and ended up having dinner at this little joint that I found on yelp. Thank you again for rec. Wife had the caldo she gave it 5 stars. Son had the carne asada plate 4 stars. The chile verde burro was 4 stars. Good food and good service. Not a fancy place but a good ol Mexican spot. I would go back whenever we're around that side of Phoenix.

NO ES LA CANTIDAD, es la acción.ROBAN AL COBRAR MÁS DEL 8.6% (cobraron lo doble en Taxes) sobre la comida. ROBAN al hacer cargo de $1 por pagar con tarjeta, y no advertirle a los clientes Antes de pagar con tarjeta. En mi compra de $13.50 más Taxes, el cargo del banco por procesar sería aproximadamente $0.40 centavos. Le sacan jugo, robando. Uno de tantos días que he ido. Pero hoy si me di cuenta que cobran de más. No importa que tanto más, importa que están "robando" en "operación hormiga".Mi comida, para llevar, costó $13.50, más Taxes 8.6% $1.16 = $14.66, pero ellos cobraron $15.66, lo doble en Taxes.Al pagar con tarjeta de crédito, hacen un cargo extra de $1.00. Les pregunté porque, me dijeron que ellos hacen un cargo extra, sin previo ni aviso. Les pregunté que donde estaba el letrero o aviso para hacernos saber a los consumidores, a lo cual la mujer, déspota, me dijo "EL DUEÑO LO QUITÓ". Ahora, $1.00 extra por una comida de $13.50, están cobrando lo doble del promedio del 2.7% que les cobraría el banco por procesar ese pago. AUNQUE A DECIR VERDAD, EL RESTAURANTE DEBE CUBRIR ESE GASTO, PORQUE ES UN SERVICIO PARA ELLOS AUMENTAR SUS VENTAS, Y NO QUE LO PAGUE EL CLIENTE.Desgraciadamente, esto pasa en su mayoría con restaurantes HISPANOS/LATINOS. Nunca en otro restaurante me ha pasado. Dejen de robar al estilo "Operación hormiga" (poco a poco), es ilegal.

This is our favorite Mexican Food Restaurant in the entire valley. They have great, prompt service and the food is superior. It is authentic, they have a great variety and it is always fun and enjoyable to go there. The prices are reasonable. I especially like their enchiladas with green sauce. To me that is the litmus test of Mexican food when done correctly, and this certainly is.

I was driving by and decided to try it randomly and I'm glad I did! My server was nice and seated me right away. I often rate places by the taste of their water and La Barquitas was really good! I ordered the enchilada suiza (pictured). It was fantastic portions and come with veggies, beans, rice, etc. They were also hosting a holiday party there in the main room so they do accommodate for that. It's holiday time at the time of my visit so the ceiling was decorated in string lights. It set the scene for a lovely, cozy dinner. I'm excited to go again.

I am just loving exploring the authentic Mexican food in downtown. Came here with two friends and had a cute Friday night sit-down dinner. The chips and salsa they brought out before we even ordered were pretty good, but not hot, and I wish it was. I got the birria, and I love how different it is from other birrias I've had. The goat was delicious and so flavorful. I swear that goat was killed that morning, it was so fresh. The portion was just right to leave me full, but enough to make you feel like you got your money's worth. Friends loved their meals, too. Come for an authentic, casual, quiet meal!

enjoyed this local place . walked in, and everybody is very much from the valley. In fact, the server could only speak to me in Spanish ! even brought in a guitarist played which added to the Homie atmosphere. Service could've been better but that's because I had a new waitress. The manager was very helpful Also filling in (typical Mexican family style restaurant ) had two shredded beef tacos with rice and beans. Gave me an ice tea to go as well.
