    Excellent!!

    Food was amazing. Enjoyed the quaint outdoor patio area with our doggos! The staff all enjoyed the fur babies and were especially kind. Definitely a place we will be returning with them!

    Yummy and gluten free

    We enjoyed our dinner. We had brought our own dog bowl so nothing special was given for our little man. Food was yummy and the server caught a kitchen error with my gluten free order so I was happy. Some hints maybe downfall was you have to go into the bar area to find the door for the patio as they have a fan up against the other door that leads there from the walkway. Said fan was blowing very well and we should have sat farther away (our fault) as it was windy and the fan collected the smoke from those around us and seemed to blow it more towards us. We liked it and will be back again.

    Great food!

    This is a no frills Mexican restaurant. The “dog friendly patio” does allow smoking so be. cautious if you don’t like smoke with your lunch or dinner. we don’t but they kindly moved us to the regular patio rather than having us leave. Heather was a great server and the chilie releno was one of the best I have had!

    Really?

    We went on July 31 2015- We had to enter through the bar area, make a diagonal path to another door--that was fun and ok, but the "patio" is a narrow, below-ground level, set of chairs and tables, with the funk of cigarette ashes in the air--it just looked like where employees take smoke breaks....waited over ten minutes, nobody waited on us. We made a special trip for this place because of this website...and well, we went across the street to Burger King for dinner, then went home. Not impressed.

    dog friendly patio

    We have eaten here on multiple occasions. This restaurant has been voted as one of the top 25 restaurants in AZ and it is dog friendly! Our dog gives this place a paws up rating. Last time the hostess brought her a special beef treat from the kitchen because they were out of dog cookies. Highly recommended. :)
