New Mexican Restaurants near Mesa, AZ

“What an amazing find this amazing restaurant! My friend and I decided to give this place a try one weekend and we were so blown away with the food and service from Saad that we went back the following weekend with some family that was in town visiting. Saad remembered us and took such great care of us and our family, the food was fantastic, the ambiance is great but Saad's service is what really elevated the experience for us.“

“Amazing Tacos and Mexican food. This is my favorite spot to get Carne Asada Quesadillas. Jarritos are always stocked up and every times I've been here it's always tasted amazing. Their Salsa is actually really spicy too I love it.“

“Aztec Cake - do it. It is delicious and very filling. Recommend a split - they are totally cool with it. Service is very very good - Bailey is the one you want to- energy to share. Modern decor- but comfortable wooden 4 tops. Not a problem to enjoy an extra cocktail - highly recommend the chimaya one with black berries and Tequila (Mezcal)“

“They specialize in New Mexican cuisine, known for its bold spices and flavorful ingredients. The menu offers everything from classic enchiladas to adventurous options like green chile stew. Don't miss their tortilla soup, a hearty and delicious choice. Prices are reasonable, with most dishes falling between $15 and $30.Whether you're a spice aficionado or a curious diner, Carlsbad Tavern is worth a visit. Just be prepared to be charmed by the quirky atmosphere and satisfied by the delicious food.“

“We tried the 2 tacos with side of rice and black beans. Mahi Mahi taco was fresh and tasty but a bit crowded in size and taste due to large amount of pico. Carne asada taco was very good but very plain. White rice tasted great and seemed to have flavor from being cooked in chicken broth with sparce sprinkles of corn kennels. Black beans were good but nothing exceptional. House margarita on the rocks had a really nice rim of b&w salt and was very tasty. All in all, food and drink was good as the salsa and thick chips. And service was good but not too attentive as there was no offer to refill chips or drink. Nice airy environment, nicely decorated. The only real negative would have to be it's a bit pricy considering portions.“

“Since I’m from Texas, I was a little skeptical about trying Mexican food in AZ, but I was delightfully surprised! Although they were short-staffed, Eric was very personable and super attentive. It was a great experience and I highly recommend this place! Ask for Eric!“

“I love the food! The ambience is delightful ! I finally found delicious oysters and family friendly meals! Definitely will return! Gracias por su hospedaje!Kid-friendliness: My boys enjoyed the quesadillas and oysters! Aguas frescas were delicious!Parking: It gets busy and parking lot gets pretty full!“

“Alright, lemme lay it down for ya about these carne asada nachos at the New Mexican Grill – they're straight-up rizz-diculous. Imagine a skibidi stack of crispy tortilla chips, loaded with tender, gyatt-worthy carne asada, and topped with a symphony of melted cheese, fresh salsa, guac, and a dollop of sour cream. One bite and it's like your taste buds are doing the cha-cha slide.“

“Always a solid meal with good service and relatively good pricing. Not a huge fan of the flavored margarita's ... kinda syrupy. Burrito's are huge. Food gets a blast under the broiler before it comes out (pretty quickly) nice and hot. Nice outdoor covered dining area with propane heaters. Convenient free parking deck behind restaurant off Boston. A bunch of good places to eat right in this area of old town Chandler.“

“I ordered carry out . With high costs that is everywhere,I enjoy the food here.If you like red or green chili from New Mexico, here's the place to eat . I STRONLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY SOME DELICIOUS MEXICAN FOOD.THE PEOPKE WHO WORK THERE ARE VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY. I HAVE ONLY GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE SERVICE.“

“Finally, a decent restaurant!I guess I'm really picky because I feel like most restaurants suck. I just feel like it can't be that hard to make good tasting food, but hardly any restaurants do. This place definitely had good food.I mean, it could have been better, but in comparison to the competition, 5 Stars!To be a true, 5-star restaurant, on my scale at least, they need to add more cheese and use less lime, and to hit the ultimate, real-5-star, male-chauvinistic-pinnacle restaurant, the waitresses, of course, would wear skimpy uniforms too, but I guess beggers can't be choosers ?“

“The best mole sauce since our lovely introduction to it in Oaxaca 20 years ago. Just stunning. Artisan, hand crafted and super delicious. If you want soggy, tired, cheesy, fried Mexican food, this is not your place. Come here for fresh, gorgeous anything-but-ordinary Mexican food with cocktails to match. So glad we found Agave del Scottsdale.“

“This is the weirdest review I'm writing and I have felt this conflicted! The ONLY thing I am giving this score is the food, otherwise the owners are rude, they don't even have cutlery or drinks and some menu items are kinda scam!! I suggest only getting Carne Asada fries because it is exactly what you see on the menu, some other menu items are like not even close to what u order. Again I have never had such a good carne asada and I also have never seen such a weird experience haha!“

“A little bit of home!! Little Anita’s was my late husband’s and my favorite restaurant in Old Town ABQ!! I found this location last Fall and I’ve frequented as often as possible. The shredded chicken enchiladas with green chili are just what I need that takes me back to some fond memories of NM!! Love this place !!!“
