Self serve taco restaurant. Order your food at the counter, pay, and wait for your name to be called. We visited early in the day before the game, so the place was quite empty. But I can see this place being packed.

Crazy busy on game days. They need some waiters or waitresses. Wait for beer & food can be 30 minutes or more. Nice atmosphere, good food, chips seemed scratch made, very good. The carne asada tacos were good. Beer was $8, tacos per were $6.50. Staff was friendly. Just crazy attendance march 2023 for Mexico v USA WBC game.

This was a good stop! We were downtown for a concert and this was a great spot to eat before the show! Everything was very good! The tacos were exceptional! The guacamole was a bit disappointing. The prices are high for what it is and what you get. I would like to see the food priced just a hair more competitively, and add some more salt and lime to the guacamole. Wait times are also a concern if you are in a hurry. We were not, but if we were this would be a bad place to stop. All in all, it’s a good find! We will probably be back at some point for more tacos!

Stopped in before the Rod Stewart concert. It was packed but they handled the crowd well. The food was fantastic. Perfectly seasoned. It’s a long drive from Queen Creek but I will be back.

Great little spot. Not too outrageously expensive, given that it’s a big draw for Chase and Footprint center events. 15%off for locals, which keeps me coming back. Real friendly bartenders. Nice little patio for watching tourists taking in the local color. Green butcher taco is on point!

Stopped in for a quick lunch during convention events. This place will fill up quickly and space is limited during convention event lunch breaks. Food is cooked fresh and will also take about 20 minutes to be made if it’s busy.

Take is from a local native. Everything is delicious here!! The nachos, the nachos, aren’t just regular nachos. The cheese, the steak is above your average nachos. Thats what I order every single time I am there, I never get tired of them. This post, these words dont do justice how gooooooood they are!!! Writing this makes me crave some now!!! Go visit them whenever you are downtown and trust me you’ll love it!!!! Oooooh oh oh definitely try the mango salsa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The food was awful. My tacos had absolutely no flavor, and the completely overcooked the single piece of shrimp in my ‘shrimp’ taco. The rice was burnt. The only good part of the food was the beans. I won’t be coming back.
