This place is phenomenal! Best service, the salsa is perfect, they made my custom margarita perfectly, and the Molinito Asada Special could not have been better! My only regret that I haven't found this place earlier! Ethel is amazing bartender/server and I can't say enough great things about this place. Seriously best in Oro Valley.

It's the best Mexican food restaurant I've ever eaten. The flavor is a true journey into Mexican cuisine; every bite, every spoon put in your mouth takes us back to authentic Mexican cuisine. The flavor is from history, and the flavor and seasoning are genuine.

Carlos (the bartender) is what made my experience so great every time I’ve visited so far. Everything I have ordered has been great tasting. The menu is lacking a bit but Carlos says they are in the process of getting it updated. I recommend asking for something if you don’t currently see it on the menu. (Sorry, no queso but great guacamole) great atmosphere! Everybody is so nice and welcoming

"Trying the food at this Mexican restaurant was like playing a risky game of culinary roulette--except every chamber in the revolver was loaded with disappointment and regret. One bite, and I felt like I'd won the grand prize in the 'Worst Tasting Dish' competition. If blandness had a headquarters, it would be here!"

This is the best restaurant in the world. We'll be returning to Oro Valley again this July for the 2024 IECC Conference, and we will definitely be eating here again. Last time, we were in Oro for six days, and we ate there seven times!
