El servicio hacia el cliente es súper! Yo fui por unos pescados fritos, ellos se aseguraron que estuviera listo mi orden en el tiempo adecuado! ¡Gracias!

We were visiting my sister for the weekend and drive by this place. We decided to give it a try. As soon as we walked in the restaurant was empty and had a weird smell. We didn't think much of it and sat down. We ordered our drinks ( 1 horchata, 1 Jamaica and a coke.) The horchata tasted like it had soap and the Jamaica tasted like it had been sitting there for days. As we were waiting for our food we see a cockroach crawling up on the booth we were sitting. We all quickly got up and told them to cancel out order. The lady who was helping us seemed bothered that we cancelled our order and asked why we wanted to cancel it. We told her there was cockroaches and she did not know what to say. We ended up just leaving.

This place is such a rip off, employees are very unfriendly and unwelcoming . Wanted to treat my family after a coupe of months of not seeing them to something good . Wow the surprise I came to . Shortly after getting in I explained to server we would have a couple of more family members joining us . She gave us the biggest table we went a head and order a few things which took for ever to get. When we finally got the food the rest of my family came in, but they couldn't sit with us or even be in because they were at capacity . I had clearly explained to them I had more ( 4) ) family members joining me. Why would they turn it into an issue after they said it was ok ? Left what ever food we order on the table. Did not taste good , it was dry and cold . Don't give business to these people . They're a bunch of crooks !!!Shrimp Tacos

I always order a michelada and toritos to start off with. I've had many micheladas and theirs never disappoints and are huge. The toritos ....yuuummm.... Just thinking about the combination of spice from the yellow chili, bacon, cheese, and shrimp makes my mouth water. I usually always get something different for my main entree and everything has been good. I've gotten both regular shrimp ceviche and their ceviche verde which is a lot more spicy. The steak ranchero is classic.

This is a pretty nondescript place in a strip mall. The seating is adequate with both tables and booths but the decor was certainly nothing to bring you back for ambiance. The young lady who served us had very limited English and we have some limited Spanish but it wasn't a big problem and the order was correct. We had some great Margarita's to start with and the salsa was medium hot and left some lingering spice on my tongue. It was more of a sauce than a pico de gallo type salsa but it was tasty and chips were fine. Our party of 3 had a combo carne asada/fish dinner, a garlic shrimp dinner and a shrimp taco dinner (see pics). All agreed they were very good. They are really into sauces so most things were smothered in sauce which some might not like but I do!!

Prices at this place are a hit and miss: the ceviche (which is quite good, but probably would've been better had it been served with sour cream), is a quite reasonable deal if bought as a "tostada"; bought as an appetizer, it really doesn't compare price-wise. The main courses are reasonably priced. Interestingly enough, if you read the reviews for the restaurant's 16th St. location and compare them to the ones here, you will notice a trend: at the 16th St. location, most people are okay with the prices; but not here. I think this has a lot more to do with disposable income and a lot less with the prices themselves (apparently, people in downtown PHX are used to paying more and, apparently, have more money to do so).Portions are reasonable, too, though it's a hit and miss: the refried beans mixed with tomato sauce -- which is something I've never seen in a Mexican restaurant -- is very good and reminds me of the beans I used to have as a kid with frankfurters (not refried, though). The "garlic" fish is not garlicky and has more of a lemon-butter taste to it. The fish stuffed with crab is good and well worth the price; however, if you're not a fan of hollandaise sauce, this might be a bit too much for you (the sauce isn't hollandaise, but the consistency of it more-or-less is).Fountain drinks would be preferable, but the prices for canned soda are OK. While our waitress was friendly, attentive and overall tolerant of my poor Spanish (practice makes perfect :-), there were times I had to call to her or go to the counter to ask for something. This isn't a reflection of "racism" as a certain reviewer on here alluded to (and who no doubt screams the accusation anytime someone doesn't bow and scrape before him and his wife out of shame for a way of life that ended almost 200 years ago and has nothing to do with most people these days), but simply that the world doesn't revolve around one person all the time and people sometimes get distracted (in other words, stop looking for unearned privileges and grow up!).All in all, okay and good food; but would I drive another 20 minutes to come back here again? Probably not. Just not special enough to warrant the effort.

Hood place. Service was a little slow which is odd for lunchtime crowd of maybe 3 customers. Still, great food and nice ambiance. Got the feel I was in certain parta of Mexico so pretty authentic on the ambiance. Had the Campachena. Fantastic! Will come again!

I frequent this place when I am craving fish and shrimp tacos while I'm at work. They always start you with fresh tortilla chips and mild/medium salsa. The lunch specials are ridiculously cheap and the portions are HUGE! I typically get the 3 tacos (2 fish and 1 shrimp) with rice and beans lunch special for $5 when I stop in on my lunch break. The fish tacos are my favorite and are cooked to perfection. The shrimp tacos are also a great choice but can sometimes have to much breading on them. Staff is very friendly and service is quick. The language spoken in this restaurant is primarily Spanish and if you do not know any Spanish it can be challenging to get you wants and needs met here depending on how well your waitress can speak English. Be patient! The lunch specials are worth it!

Really great food, always love coming here with family and friends, the waitresses are respectful even though I can speak barely any Spanish, really great cook and good deals, also they have an amazing salsa 5 stars, because of the quality.

Very ghetto, micheladas are a joke they look like child cups over priced as well... empty I wonder why...on a fridayBien pobretón, las micheladas se parecen basó de niños , está bien caro de precio ... 1/5
