What our guests are saying
Had a great experience here for a birthday and would definitely return. We were seated right away, drinks arrived within minutes, and service was attentive throughout. The Big Daddy Burrito was delicious and a great value, as were the cocktails. We’ll definitely be back next time.

Best Mexican food in Tucson! This family-owned gem has the friendliest service—our server Riley was awesome, friendly, and accommodating. Our chicken enchiladas with rice and beans were delicious and served promptly. The atmosphere was quiet, roomy, and spotless. We can’t wait to return and share this find with friends and family.

I absolutely love this place! Whenever I visit Tucson from Missouri, it’s one of my first stops—and I make sure to come back at least twice during my trip. The green enchiladas with crema sauce are rich, flavorful, and truly to die for. Every bite reminds me why it’s a must-visit.
