"No list of essential Phoenix dishes would be complete without the humble cheese crisp. While there is some contention over its origins, it’s said to come out of southern Arizona sometime in the early 1900s. Phoenicians will vehemently claim it as an Arizona thing. It’s about as simple as a dish can be: essentially an open-face quesadilla consisting of a flour tortilla topped with various combos of Oaxaca, Monterey Jack, or Cheddar cheeses and heated until crispy. Pretty much any Mexican restaurant in the city offers a cheese crisp, but the one at Comedor Guadalajara offers an over 40-year-old legacy of Sonoran-style Mexican food in a setting that’s about as quintessential to an Arizona Mexican restaurant as it gets." - Mcconnell Quinn

This place is very interesting. First of all I went there for lunch during the week on a Wednesday. Not sure if this result was due to the holiday season but the amount of people that were there and the wait time was comparable to you having breakfast on the weekend at a restaurant. I must say I was very impressed that so many people were here and waiting to get in this restaurant jampacked. Meanwhile, after I was seated, we ordered our food and I must say it was delicious. I think this is a popular place for a lot of the city of Phoenix employees as well as the police department and fire as many of the customers or representing the employers. I totally recommend this place and enjoy.

This place has history on all local Phoenicians and Families after Families of traditions of meeting here with the food warming your souls of great Mexican food that is one of the best still for many years. Highly recommended by me to take your family and out of state families for real AZ Mexican food. Great experience all around. No reservations available. Need to be there.

Menu listed traditional Mexican dishes plus some special plates. Taco salad was very fresh, but grilled chicken had no flavor. Side of refried beans were cold...had to send them back to reheat. Enchiladas #5 plate was excellent!

I tried to go to Comedor Guadalajara months ago and they had a long wait. Today I decided to see how busy they were around 1:00 pm. I was able to get seated immediately. My server Mauro came by within a minute. I ordered ice tea and Lunch Green Chile Enchiladas. Within 90 seconds the server delivered a cup of soup to me. I waited to try it since it arrived before my tea. A young woman soon brought chips & salsa and my iced tea. Within 6 minutes another young lady brought my meal out. She told me it was hot. It looked great. The Salsa is good and spicy with a kick. I tried the Chicken Enchiladas and they were great but the flavor was good and a little spicy. The rice and refried beans were good. The portion of food is a lot. I did. It see the server till he dropped off the check and he did say he hoped everything was good. A 3rd young woman came by and refilled my tea also. I saw the server moving a lot yet he had several people helping him. I will go back and maybe he was is nice but, not outwardly friendly.

The Parrilladas de Tres Carnes was really good. It is supposed to feed two, but there was a huge amount of food. The service was great, but it is a popular place so we did have to wait about 35 minutes to be seated. As they say dont judge a book by it's cover. The outside of this place wont awe you, but once you get inside it really is a nice restaurant.

Great variety of food. It's always hot, and presentation is appealing to the eye and stomach. Their food is delicious no matter what you order. Portions are good. The waiters and waitresses are very attentive. We don't live close by, so we really look forward to eating here when we happen to be in the area, two or three times a year. I recommend the Tripitas plate, red sauce enchiladas, and the potato and ground beef crunchy tacos. The plate includes rice and beans. Prices are very reasonable considering our economy.

First time here and the food was good. The enchiladas were flavorful. We eat Mexican food a lot. The red sauce here is good. Inside the restaurant, it looked as if they were still practicing COVID guidelines. A lot of space. Everyone is polite. Jose waited on us, with a soft voice, and was very pleasant. The person we were with told us that he had visited this establishment and had to wait 2 hours to be seated. We had to wait 30 minutes this time. The parking lot was full with a few spots open. I noticed when we parked that they had security on site. I do recommend calling ahead of time. They are closed Monday and Tuesday

DELICIOUS! TASTY! YUMMY! You know if they have a line outside the door 30mins prior to opening it has to be amazing. And they did not disappoint. I recommend coming back and trying a little of everything! The salsa is delicious with good spice. The red sauce and green sauce is flavorful.

AHHHH man what can I say. This place has the best Authentic Mexican Food in Arizona PERIOD!!!!!!! The service was great and our waiter was very nice with a great attitude. I love the decorations inside the restaurant and it makes you feel like you are in some place special when you see the restaurant. The vibe of the place is pretty chill and relax. I had 2 bean and cheese burritos from here and let me tell you they were the best I've ever had anywhere. If you sleeping under a rock or crawling in a hole come on out your hole and get over there.

First time at Comedor Guadalajara. We arrived at 3 PM on a Thursday. Surprisingly, there were a couple dozen other parties seated at the massive restaurant. We were greeted up front by the very pleasant hostess. She walked us to our table, left our menus and said farewell. The restaurant had great ambiance with the Hispanic decor and music, tile-like floors and overall relaxed vibe. Chips and spicy salsa were brought to our table quickly. The salsa was so good, we ordered another bowl of chips, only because we still had salsa left. Our server, Israel, took our orders. My wife got the Number five (two shredded beef tacos) and a margarita, whilst I got the Number ten (chicken enchilada and a chile relleno) and an iced tea. It came to $50.17 plus tip. Very comparable to the other popular Mexican restaurant in lower South Mountain. Our meals arrived, on screaming hot plates, in about 10 mins. There was plenty of food on both plates. The tacos were pretty large, with good beef flavors going on. My relleno was good but the chicken enchilada was really good. I've usually talked about ordering that combo at other places but never have, so I'm glad I did today. It was well balanced, just the right amount of heat and savory, juicy chicken. We will return and start working our way through the menu.

I found it! If there was a "4 1/2 stars" I would choose that. I was ready to give up after moving to Arizona 3 years ago and finding nothing but crappy Mexican food. It is one of the great mysteries of the universe raw why Arizona has such average Mexican food. But this place saved the day. I'd seen it pop up on my social media feed many times, and a former employee told me it was great food so we went. First, expect to wait. That's a good sign. Even at lunch there was a 30-minute wait and the place was PACKED. Imagine a weekend dinnertime. Also, the place closes at 7 on weekends and 6 other days so it's not a dinner-"hangout" -until 9-eating-chips kinda place. So this is a basic, family-style, traditional Mexican restaurant. It's not really just Sonoran food (which is the norm in Arizona), but has a sort of Baja-inspired style combined with a bit of a homemade vibe, which results in the kind of family Mexican restaurant you'd find in Southern California. That's excellent. You'll find the traditional dishes here: chile relleno, various enchiladas, chimichangas and burritos, carne tampiquena, and menudo (certain days). So nothing high-falutin ' just great home-style, chips-and-salsa food. Speaking of which, the salsa is excellent. It's a thin, cooked, dark red sauce (not the chunky, fresh style) that has a heckuva bite to it. It's tasty and spicy and I love it. The chips are decent, though a bit thick and served cold, but that's a minor gripe. Mexican restaurants are made by 3 key things: their salsa, their beans, and their rice. Comedor's salsa is a standout, so the beans are next and they don't disappoint. Fresh and creamy with a lot of flavor and the perfect texture thanks to the lard they're cooked in. The flavor is perfect, and I could make a meal with just beans, chips, and salsa. And last, the rice is really good. Standouts were the chicken enchiladas (the green sauce is to die for), and the chili relleno. Anything with beans was !fantastic, and the carne Tampiquena was notable. Great salsa. Why not 5 stars? Well, I personally reserve 5 stars for especially noteworthy restaurants, and This place was SOOOO close with Just a few minor things- all my opinion only and almost insignificant. For example, the guacamole was tasteless and starting to brown. My rice was kind of hard and not quite done. The flautas (we call them taquitos in most places) were just bare. No sauce, no cheese, nada. Just the deep-fried rolled tacos and a side of sour cream and guacamole. All these things are minor gripes, which is why it merits 4 1/2 stars. This place won't change your life, but it's an excellent, comforting, tasty version of all the great Mexican restaurants you've ever been to. Come here with family, or friends, or even a date who loves Mexican food. Nothing fancy and it's in a not-great part of downtown, but it's as good a Mexican restaurant as we've found in Phoenix. Also really good service. Worth it and then some. Really top-notch and I'll be back for sure.

The food here is ok. Depending on what you get it might be authentic. But I doubt it. I've been here several times. The first few times the food was great. But lately it taste like your typical Mexican't American restaurant... Needless to say, I don't really recommend it as there are plenty of much better options and I most likely won't be back. The prices are too high for the taste. Plus with the wait (which blows) my mind is not worth it.

The Mexican food joint that just about everyone has heard about. A Phoenix staple, Comedor has been around for nearly 5 decades. My dad, who was long time friends with the owner, would often bring us here in years past. I'm extremely picky about my Mexican food and this place has always been on of my top 3. A must try for out of towners. I ordered my usual, Molcajete de Camaron con Nopales. It was as delicious and savory as I could remember, as it's been about 2 years since I stepped foot into the restaurant. I really appreciate the consistency and authenticity. Served in an oven hot molcajete, the dish is served piping hot in a rich red chile sauce & also comes with a side of rice, beans & tortillas. Of course I had to pair a Michelada with my meal, and it too was refreshing & delicious just like the years past! Complimentary chips and salsa are also both incredibly good & spicy! Some may not like the consistency as it has no texture, but packed in flavor. My husband had the tripas y asada fajitas and holy smokes!!! Sooooo good! The tripas were perfectly crunchy just how we like as most place serve them overly chewy. The asada was tender and flavorful as well. Everything about all our meals surpassed our expectations as always. The restaurant is HUGE! There are 3 main dining areas with lots of tables to help cut down on wait times as there is ALWAYS a wait, so be prepared! I wish they accepted reservations. Hours are very odd and they close quite early every day, so be sure to check before you go. This has always been a family favorite for years and we'll continue to dine here time & time again.

Absolutely legit Mexican food! I travel for work to the southwest fairly often and enjoy trying new places. A very nice lady on our flight who is a local recommended comedor and she was 100% right. Great food and full of the locals who know where to eat! We will be back.

Outdoors: There is plenty of parking, even though we decided to try them out on a Sunday. In observation they have a person watching the parking lot, could have been valet or someone. I didn't ask Hostess: there was a young lady and gentleman who were handling all the people coming in for dine in, the wait was 30-45 minutes at around 11:35 am. We got seated after 24 minutes, so I do appreciate the faster response. Server: he was a young guy who was so kind, professional, knowledgeable and had great suggestions. He offered his advice and opinions which I greatly appreciated. He stayed on top of service, I do want to mention that on the menu they do post: First bowl of chips & salsa are on the house but anything there after there's a charge for it. Drinks: yummy their agua fresca de jamaica is so good. Please order this if you enjoy cold refreshing refreshments. Food: Amazing!!! Full of flavor, my god it's so authentic to the Guadalajara culture that it's like I'm eating at my mom's kitchen. We ordered as follows one chicken enchilada plate with mole, chicken chimichanga accompanied by rice and beans & lastly 2 hard beef tacos those two also accompanied rice and beans. The beans were so good, they use lard and I can tell, the mole was just like my mom's homemade mole. Can't wait until or next visit, he's the photos:

I would give them five stars for their Steak Picado, and their Chiliquilles, but today I tried the fish tacos and they weren't very impressive. Then we had a piña colada for $12 and you could barely detect any alcohol in it... Don't waste your money on any mixed drinks. This is not the place for it. Service is good, as it always is. Food is hot and fast. I would recommend anything on their list of specials and maybe a beer.

Hello Friends. If you want solid Mexican food, then Comedor is the spot to try. My family and I have been coming here for years and the quality and taste of food is consistently great. The wait time here can be lengthy, but well worth it. When you come to eat here, you can almost always expect a wait time, and they don't take reservations, but those who frequent the restaurant already know this. And, the wait is well worth it...believe me. The food is beyond tasty, large portions, super authentic like mom's home cooking. Everything is made fresh, and the food reflects it. I can't say enough good things about Comedor, as this is my favorite spot for home-style Mexican tastiness. Try it, you won't regret. Grade: A+

Cemby K.

Yelp
Service was good and the restaurant is clean. Food: You get chips & hot sauce, which the hot sauce was just tangy hot, so I wasn't a fan. I got the tripe tacos which were very crispy and good but I wished they had better hot sauce to go with it. They give you guacamole & salsa but those were both very bland IMO. The red chile burrito w enchilada sauce was also good and probably the best thing that we ordered. Combo taco & tostada and both were also very bland and didn't have much flavor. Overall, it was just okay and they do give you pretty big portions but we're disappointed as this place was recommended by a lot of people!

The food is authentic Sonoran Mexican and it is delicious!! Their wait time is long for a reason so go prepared to wait. Always check their hours because they have limited staff sometimes. Family environment with authentic Mexican music always playing that sometimes can bring nostalgic feelings. We've been going there for 28 years and the owners and managers know our entire family.

What a bummer to have to write this review after coming here since I was a teen. This is the second time in the last couple months that I've come here and I hesitated to write a review the last time because I figured an off day but after today I see that it is not. Idk if they have a new cook, new cook staff or what but the food has definitely went downhill. I ordered Machaca and chilaquiles and I left my plate. The Machaca idk had like a fish taste or something off... the beans taste canned now..not sure if they are or not. The wait time to be seated, to receive your food is pretty long. As sad as I am about this as it's been my favorite place for so long, after covid it seems like they never recovered or something because it has definitely went down hill.

Don't let the location fool you. This restaurant is huge and you will wait for a table. But it's worth it! Great service, excellent food and nice atmosphere. Would add this to my must visits for local food in central phoenix!

Bianca is our server and is friendly and very knowledgeable. I must say that this is a very authentic, fresh and delicious! Really nice mom and pop restaurant. I would highly recommend and suggest you check it out.

I recently visited Comedor Guadalajara and ordered their chicken taquitos plate which comes with rice and beans. I don't have much to say besides the meal being okay and not worth the price. Although the dish was well-prepared, it didn't particularly distinguish itself from a fast food restaurant. Given the buzz around Comedor Guadalajara, I had anticipated something more unique.

Jonathan M.

Yelp
Located just outside downtown Phoenix, Comedor Guadalajara is a spot where you can find familiar Mexican dishes. I had the taquitos on my visit, and they were decent--nothing extraordinary but satisfying enough. The highlight for me was the side of rice and beans, which I found quite enjoyable. They were a comforting addition to the meal.

If you want to eat you can probably expect a wait! (We arrived at 11:05am on a Thursday and had a 25 minute wait), but it is worth it! Once you get inside the dining rooms are open a spacious. No crowding. We had items off the lunch specials menu and they were delicious. Chicken chimichanga and the flauta with cheese enchilada. Both came with sour cream and very good guacamole! Prices are reasonable. Service good. Recommended.

Me & 4 girlfriends get together a few times a year to celebrate our bdays. 4 of us ordered menudo and one the machaca & egg breakfast! Everything was DELISH!! I ordered the big bowl & had to take some home and enjoyed it again 2 days in a row!! YUM!! Our server Israel was awesome!! This is not your regular Mexican restaurant, it's an experience and a landmark for sure!! Ambiance is great!! Highly recommend!!

Growing up in South Phoenix, much of the community ranted and raved about this place. I was always under the impression that it was a mariscos (seafood) and bar type place, which I'm not a huge fan of. I was totally wrong! Not only do they have mariscos, but they have an EXCELLENT menu of TASTY Mexican food dishes!!! My grandparents, who grew up on this place, treated my mother and I to lunch here. This was our first time and it did NOT disappoint!!! I had the carne asada & pechuga asada with rice and beans. Both had a great flavor to them (marinaded) and tasted as though it had just come off the grill. Not to mention, the rice and beans were on point! Want some authentic Mexican food? You have to stop by this place! On another note, my grandparents mentioned that this place is ALWAYS busy! They said wait times can be well over an hour with people waiting inside and outside the restaurant, but they say it's worth the wait! Thankfully, we only had to wait 20 minutes because we went during Memorial weekend. Everyone was out of town during that time, so it was not busy. As for the service, it was okay. Our waiter was hardly attentive to us. My family had to catch his attention most of the time by waving their hand or calling him out when he passed by. Despite this, he was always friendly to us when he assisted. We also did not wait long for our meals to arrive, which was super nice given we were all hungry! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

There's a reason that it has 5 star reviews and that many of them... it's THAT good. Great food, outstanding service and authentic Mexican food that is a must visit.

Excellent service - attentive, knowledgeable, but. Or overbearing. Appetizers were solid - the the bacon-wrapped stuffed peppers were phenomenal. Goddess had a burrito that was tasty and big - enough to take half home. But it wasn't just the fridge this morning, as I devoured it at 2 am. My mole negro was good and authentic but it wasn't as good as I've had in Mexico. Overall a lovely experience and worth going back again. And, oh, the salsa bar! Creamy cilantro dip was to DIE for

I love this place. I've been coming here on and off for years. It's a huge place, that is always packed. To me, that's a good sign. Expect long wait, depending on when you go and they don't take reservations. Honestly, it's worth the wait. My favorite thing here is the Chile Relleno, in fact, I come here specifically for that. I can't speak on the authenticity of it, but it is my favorite in the valley. The relleno sauce is awesome!

Adriana C.

Yelp
I'm trying to figure out how it's been sooooo long before I actually tried this place. We came here for my brothers birthday. There's always a wait, for good reason. I ordered the red chili burrito enchilada style with rice and beans. My food was so good and very flavorful. The beans were also very good. The horchata is so delicious and it's free refills. My mom got the green chili burrito which was also so good. I think I prefer the green over the red. I will be back!

Andi S.

Yelp
This place is delicious and most known for their authentic and traditional Mexican cuisine! The service is always wonderful. The micheladas are so tasty! Everything from their breakfast, down to the dinner plates are so mouth watering and packed with flavor! You can always bet, if the chips and salsa are amazing, so will be the entrees, and they most definitely are! I've had their machaca breakfast, yum! The menudo is so good! During weekdays they give you a little cup of sopa de fideos, that is always a treat! The Chile relleno combo is one of my family's favorite plates. I just recent tried the parrillada de mar y tierra, it's a big plate with fried to perfection crispy tilapia, seasoned carne asada, shrimp, peppers, beans and rice! You have the option to make it a 2/3 person share and also have the option of flour or corn tortillas. This is the way to go in my opinion, if you're looking to try many items and can't decide, you can't go wrong. This place is really big, and it stays busy. If you go during the weekend, be patient and prepared to wait, as this gem of an establishment has been discovered by many looking for great food! The ambiance feels like you stepped into Mexico! If you're looking for great Mexican authentic cuisine, this place is a must!

Today, we visited my dad's favorite spot to eat on Sunday's. In all fairness, I've never truly liked the food in this place and as I return today, it sorta reminded me why. The wait is just ridiculous, 45 minutes to an hour to get seated. They have a limit to the party size 15 max and if it more than 6 people the don't split checks. So, be prepared to over pay for your meal if you are in a large group. The salsa is delicious with just the right amount of spice (not recommended for mild salsa folks) and chips warm chrispy with a pinch of salt...just great. Here is the downside...you only get 1 complimentary small bowl with about 10 or so chips. If you wish to have more you need to pay $1.25 per small bowl. It's like 10 +/- cents per chip for those who wanna get really technical. Fast forward 22 minutes and my meal is not here yet....we ran out of chips 15 minutes ago. They would keep people happier if they would keep the tiny bowl of chips full while we wait. The place looks clean, the tables are well spaced out and the restroom are acceptable although I didn't see the women's facilities. They could rethink their layout since there's a few folks in either single or party of 2 sitting on rather large tables. The noise level is manageable. The music is at a low volume enough to hear it and still be able to hear others in your party. 47 minutes later the food arrived...be careful with the plates...they are extreme hot and will burn you if you touch it. I ordered the steakpicado with eggs and it was a small portion for the $16.00 price and corn tortillas are hard and very dry. The issue was getting my eggs to match my order. They went back n forth multiple times until they finally listened to my request to flip the over to cook on both sides. The shrimp enchiladas were good too but the rice was very dry and the beans tasted old. All in all, I don't recommend this place and it didn't meet my palates standards as a known foodie. They are pricey for the portions and they really don't breakoff the Americanized standard for Mexican Food restaurants. Lack that true authentic Mexican food flavor. The staff are attentive and once you are don't eating they are quick to clear your table and get you out the door. This wouldn't need to be the case of they reconsidered their layout and seating space.

Walked into the restaurant with a wait, but the hostess was good and my waiter did a nice job. They brought out some soup, not much flavor and oilish. The chips and salsa was good. Nothing special, salsa had some kick to it. For my main meal, I had one of the combos. Bean and rice was normal. Taco meat was bland, but the actual taco was good. Second came the cheese enchilada. Pretty bland. And finally a burrito with green sauce. Probably the best part of the meal. It is one of those places, if you are around go check it out.

Mary C.

Yelp
Always great food and service. If only there hours were more extensive. The only complaint ever is there not always available, while it's understandable it's just not as accommodating. Wish they would team up with door dash or uber eats.

Gorgea D.

Yelp
Stopped here for lunch. Table Service was very good. Food arrived quickly. We liked the chips and salsa (like blended taco sauce). She did bring salsa fresca /pico de gallo on request and I asked if they had any other options (I've found a lot of places may have several other options available including salsa verde/roasted/quemada... if I only ask). They also had what she called her chimichanga sauce, it was red and seemed like simple tomato sauce. The extras were not free We ordered basic shredded beef taco and enchilada. Both were good. I liked their rice and beans also. Good choice

Leanna L.

Yelp
Food delicious, ate every bit off my plate. I'm sure you can't go wrong with anything you order off the menu. I was surprised at the wait 1/2 hour, the reason was surprised was because when I walked in there was so much unused space and tables stored away, where they could've accommodated customers and not have 50 people waiting outside to be seated. But then again maybe they didn't have enough cooks, I don't know, either way son e they did have so many customers and I understand there always is a long line of people waiting, something could be fixed. Only because the restaurant is so big and so unorganized once you walk in. My husband loves it so probably will be back and wait. SMH

Sign says authentic mexican food, but didn't taste authentic enough for me. Food was ok nothing extravagant, beans were cold presentation was messy overall did not feel very welcoming in there besides the male host was quite kind.

Ashley H.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food. It's delicious and in my opinion very authentic. The Chile relleno and enchiladas are huge and full of flavor. The refried beans were truly tasty and reminded me of my grandmas beans. The service wasn't bad but was just okay. The restaurant is huge but does have quite a wait no matter when you go.

Yelp
WOW MEXICAN AWESOMENESS! First Yelp review of 2022, woo! This is definitely in my top 3 Mexican restaurants now!! Although only one bowl of chips and salsa are complementary, it's delicious with very spicy salsa. The margarita was large, and pretty good! It was very strong, but tasted sweet. Me and my dad loved both of our meals. Everything about the dishes were good. Sometimes rice and beans can be blah, but they're great here. The presentation is nice too. The tortillas are great quality. The meat was all tender. The sauces were top notch. I'll DEFINITELY be returning! Be warned that sometimes wait times are long, but if you have a small party you should be fine.

Mariana L.

Haven't been here in a while, the last 2 visits prior to this one have been good! Today I ordered the caldo de camarón and omg is the worse caldo de camarón I've ever tasted! The caldo taste like laurel no shrimp or seafood taste and who adds peas and bell peppers to a caldo de camarón just wrong. The green chile was ok. I had the waiter take the caldo back and explained why, he came back with a "new caldo" which looked and tasted the same, he said he could not remove it from the check and I was supposed to take it home. Unacceptable! They can keep my $60 bucks. Won't be back!

We tried this restaurant because a coworker couldn't stop talking about it, and HOLYGUACAMOLI we loved it! The decor is cute, the service is lovely, and the food delicious. The Parrillada Mar y Tierra is unbelievable. Highly recommended.

The place is amazing all around. Me and a friend were supposed to go to another place for brunch but, she suggested we go here instead. It definitely was the better choice. The place inside was amazing. Great decor. Our server was great and funny. I'll definitely go back just to see her. Her service was top tier. The food, delicious!!! I've never had enchiladas so stuffed with chicken. I could barely finish my plate. I most definitely will bring my mom here... soon... this is a place where you want to try every dish...

Authentic flavors. Best part of our trip. Just the queue is looooong! Proof of how good this place is. We went 8 yrs ago and came back!

Been coming here for years. Busy place especially on weekends so you better be ready to wait. The service is good and it's just not one person the whole time.

Awful service, food was very blend , no flavor at all To make things worst server added auto gratuity for two entrees Seems to me the owners/servers forgot to be honest and treat customers with respect

I've been an avid Comedor Guadalajara goer since I was a little girl. The best authentic Mexican food in Phoenix hands down! You won't regret it

This place use to be absolutely delicious but the service has gone down the tubes since Covid. I asked the waiter for clarification on a menu item and he responded to me like I was an idiot food was okay but I only got a bean burrito enchilada style....can't mess that up too bad. This place gets super busy and expect a wait because of staff shortages. For me personally, it's not worth the wait.

the wait was worth the food!! so delicious. first time here and we will be coming back. Attentive waiter and food came out fast and very fresh. Busy atmosphere, but that's a given with how popular this place is. best chili relleno!! and spicy salsa!! yummy. this place is a must!

Came here for an early brunch. From the outside you would not expect much but once inside the place is big! Lots of seating. It does get busy but they have a big waiting area. Customer service was very friendly and always checked up on us. The food is good, wouldn't say it's like the best Mexican food but it was good. The plate sizes were also decent amount, depending how hungry you are you can have leftovers. I ordered a mango maragarita, it was okay. Then had some steak with eggs. Everyone else ordered ceviche, chilaquiles and green chili. Everyone liked their food. Overall a cool, chill place to come.

The food is worth the wait. Every single item on the menu is delicious. This is why they have been in business for so long. Generations of Phoenicians have enjoyed this restaurant and from the taste of it they will continue to do so. Our server Tony did an amazing job with recommendations, he got our order served quickly and most of all correctly. No reservations but ample parking. Even though the restaurant is big, there will be a wait, but be patient. So do your tastebuds a favor, stop by for some authentic Mexican Food. Thank me later.

Don't throw tomatoes at me...but I don't fully get the hype of this place. We arrived Saturday at 11am... waited only about 15 min despite there being tons of people waiting. Service is kinda slow, but friendly. Food is just mediocre. We got the parrillada for two: you pick 3 meats out of steak, pork, chicken, and liver. Typical Mexican parrilladas come with queso fundido, baked potatoes, cebollitas, and a bunch of meat in separate sections on a skillet.... this was not that. This was still a skillet but the meat was all mixed together and covered in a mountain of onion, red peppers, and jalapeños. No cheese, no potato. They did bring a plate of rice (good) and refried beans (not good). The meat all tasted the same because it was mixed. The tortillas it comes with.... you get one giant tortilla per person so you have to tear it and make little makeshift tacos. All in all, if you've never had authentic Mexican food, you'll think this is it. If you have, you'll be slightly disappointed. Bonus: bathrooms are clean!
