Visiting arizona from MTL with my wife, like most places we go to we like to try food highly ranked on trip advisor. Kinda wish it was ranked lower would have preffered to skip it sorry.Food seemed to come a bit slow, couples to our right and left were complaining it was taking a while and even after a new couple sat down next to us one of them actually got up to get a waiter.We ate tacos from the "upgraded" menu and I found they were simply alright. My wife ordered 4 different kinds and she didnt like or finish any of them. I also tried them because I usually finish her food but really they werent good. Dont remember any of their names but hey maybe some of the other things were good...I had also went to 2 hippies taco shop the same week and man talk about night and day. Better tacos and better price which is crazy to say. Nothing worse then paying double triple and the food is not even as good.

Pork Carnitas shredded easily, had no fat and came with in-house made flour tortillas and enough for an extra meal. Same for the grilled ground beef Chimichanga. Service was very good as was the strawberry margarita and the live music.Would have given 5 stars except for an unexplained charge for green sauce instead of red when the menu indicated either at no charge. Chips were fresh and salsa was not to spicy.Fun atmosphere and outside dining.Hello ManzanitaDuck, First off, thank you for the great rating and review. We are glad that you had a great time at our restaurant and enjoyed the entertainment.. As for the charge for subbing your sauce, I apologize for that and I will definitely look into why that happened.

Went there for the first time tonight as recommended by a friend. Sure glad we did. It is now our new favorite Mexican restaurant! Hubby had #2 beef enchilada and chile rellano while I had #25 the shrimp enchiladas with a wonderful sour cream and lime sauce...excellent. Both came with beans and interesting rice...had corn and carrots in it. We also had a regular Margarita and because it was happy hour it was only $3.75...it was very, very good. We will definitely be going back.
