We stopped here after having flown in and were happy we did. It's connected to a hotel and the entrance is through its lobby. The men's room is surprising - two urinals in the shape of huge red lips. My, my, my.

Officially Fajitas off I-17 just south of Peoria. Proud to feature fresh food that's never frozen since 1986. A one-of-a-kind locals and visitors favorite for over 25 years.

Whoever wrote that negative review on Fajitaâs food must have been from a competition. We have been going to Fajitaâs for 20+ years and we are never disappointed with the food. They have the best tortillas in town and the fajitas canât be beaten anywhere. We have gone with huge groups or just my husband and I. Service is always the very best and so is the food. We usually order the steak fajitas but sometimes chicken and shrimp. We take home what is left over and it is good warmed up. Their salsa is super good and their chips are always fresh.

We've been going here for years, and it has become my husband's favorite Phoenix restaurant (which is saying a lot since we live between Scottsdale, Arcadia and central Phoenix, all areas blessed with phenomenal eateries). Not only is the food great, but the owner and staff make you feel extremely welcome. If you want a taste of the southwest with our "home town" hospitality, this is the place!

Ate here twice last week. Great food and dishes are plentiful. Shredded chicken quesadillas is delicious and huge. Love their strawberry margaritas. Definitely suggest eating here. They are quick and very accommodating!

A family member and I stopped here for lunch on a recent Saturday during a "shopping break". We sat outdoors on the patio. It's almost right on busy Bell Road, but there's no charge for the carbon monoxide from the traffic! We started with the Crab & Artichoke appetizer, which was huge and enough for four people. It had plenty of flavor and plenty of bread toasts to accompany it.We shared an order of Beer Battered Fish & Chips with Fries and Apple Slaw. Again, even with splitting the order, there was enough for both of us. The breading on the fish was light and didn't overpower the delicateness of the fish. The fries were hot and crispy and the accompanying Apple Slaw was especially flavorful. Slaw is usually pretty bland in most establishments. My disappointment with this visit is based on how long it took for someone to come to our table to take drink orders and the length of time it took for our food to be serviced. The service people appeared disorganized and understaffed. It looked like a"Manager" was doubling as a Server....and the place was not busy....at least not on the patio.

A colleague of mine who relocated back out here and I had an excellent lunch here. The complimentary chips and salsa were excellent. Same for the service and the steak fajitas. The service was especially quick considering it was a Tuesday at lunch.Definite recommend!

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.

We go to Popos for taco Mondays - All-U-Can-Eat Monday beef, chicken or machaca tacos. If you go any other day you will be paying to much. The service is lacking, especially if you sit in the bar area. If itâs not Monday we donât go to Popos... itâs not worth the price.
