This was my first time eating at this establishment, and normally, when I write a review, I usually wait until my second visit. But considering the company has been open since 1963, I figured they are doing something right, so I'll write my review now. Quite honestly, this was the best Mexican food I've ever had in the Phoenix area. I love the homemade salsa (not to mention, how MUCH you get - they don't use the tiny bowls for salsa like some restaurants do). Tonight, I had the carne asada chimichanga, and I have to say that it's probably the best chimichanga I have EVER had. The tortillas are homemade, and it almost looked like the chimi was pan-fried, because it was over-loaded with grease, which is a definite plus. It comes with guacamole and sour cream, and I think they kind of over did it with it, but that's my personal preference. I'm not going to ding them for that. And the Spanish rice tastes just as it should be - almost like mine. :) When we arrived, they were in the middle of their happy hour, where your drinks were half-off. Bonus! But if you get regular drinks, such as pop, tea, etc., you get a huge glass for it! Double bonus. I know, the little things excite me. I'll definitely becoming back to this restaurant soon. I think it's better than Serrano's. The decor is mediocre, at best, but they make up for it in the food.
