50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Sun City West

“We hadn't been here in at least a year because we did not like the food. We decided to test it again. It was so much better. We will go back. We used the computer screen to pay our bill and realized we only tipped 15 cents instead of 15%. I hope to make it up to Maya soon. She is a good waitress. We didn't notice our mistake until we got home“

“I only got to try the torta and blueberry lemonade but both were amazing. Can’t wait to come back to try each of the tacos. The pineapple salsa was incredible. I recommend this spot to anyone and everyone. Plus the owner Raul was super cool. 10/10 for this place.“

“Their food is delicious. Love their guac and red salsa. Tacos are really good meat is nicely seasoned and cooked. Chicken could use more seasoning and they need to add either tripas or birria tacos. You'd think for being a well known taco spot their employees would be more lively or at least have must going enough to get you going but no very blah but at least the food is good. Margaritas need more liquor.“

“Took friends out for their birthday. Was not disappointed at all. Excellent waiter & food was delicious and timely. Very polite.never ate your restaurant and been living her 27 years. Can’t believe I’ve been missing your place and our awesome dining experience. See you soon & Thank you. Many restaurants make you feel rushed after you eat. Did not have that all as enjoyed one of cheesecakes drizzled either chocolate. Thanks again“

“Stumbled upon this place several years ago in N Scottsdale and glad I did. Mexican food like it ought to be cooked,not TEX MEX,thank goodness, do not lower your standards of quality of ingredients as I've seen this time and time again with some other Mexican " chains". servers are hit and miss,some good,some could be better and improve their skills. I drive out of the way as you don't have a NE Tempe or /NWMesa location yet?“

“First time at Don Ruben's...by far, not the last! Food was great, service could not have been better, and the ambiance was very welcoming and up to date. I can't believe this is our first time when they have been open since late last year!“

“My wife ordered the quesadillas and I ordered the El Rico burrito. Both meals were excellent! The salsa was very good also: not too spicy, and a thicker consistency that clung to the chips magnificently. The clincher to my El Rico was a jalapeño cream cheese topping, just below copious amounts of Monterey Jack cheese. An excellent selection of margarita drinks on the menu as well. I highly recommend this restaurant to any Mexican food fanatic.“

“Excellent Sonoran Mexican restaurant. Start with a basket of very fresh and warm chips plus very tasty salsa. It was hard to stop eating them. I had the Carne Machaca dinner. Slow roasted pot roast in onions,peppers, and tomatoes. Fresh homemade tortillas. This was a wonderful dish served with rice and black beans.My wife had the Mahi Mahi tacos. Perfectly cooked Mahi in a fresh semi cooked corn tortilla. Cover with a pineapple slaw and a cream sauce. She loved it. Top notch service. Waiter was friendly and attentive.Lots of parking. Well worth the trip.“

“In town for spring training games with my sister. We tried this restaurant based on the great reviews and we were not disappointed! Edson recommended the combo basket with one of each taco (3 total) - very glad we followed that advice. Each one was unique and tasty, made fresh, and delivered hot off the grill. Definitely worth the short wait. The carnitas was my favorite, but you really can't go wrong with any choice. Edson is delightful, the tacos are delicious, and we will definitely be back next year, for the Royals and La Bamba tacos!“

“Truly the best if you are looking for a welcoming and down to earth atmosphere with fresh food, amazing craft drinks and relaxing and good time. You will never know until you try it. Urban Agave won't disappoint. Oh and try their Cucumber Jalapeno & Cilantro Margaritas and any appetizer or entree. They all rock!“

“Oscar’s is my wife and I go to spot! We live relatively close and when we can’t decide, we always go to Oscar’s.My go to dish is the rolled tacos and as you can see it never disappoints. They have 3 or 5 rolled tacos options to choose room. The beefy to tortilla ratio is perfect, so you’re not eating just tortilla. As you can see they provide you with plenty of avocado and cheese as toppings, which those alone make the rolled tacos delicious.This time I tried the bean tostada. This was amazing and will probably be on list that I’ll continue to order regularly. It had plenty of beans, avocado, cheese. The tortilla itself was still rigged throughout the entire eating process and was not flimsy which tends to happen with some tostados.Try their Red and Green Chile you won’t be disappointed.If you’re near Oscar’s or driving through and want a bite to eat, stop and give this place a try as they’ve got plenty of options and you won’t be disappointed.“

“I’ll be dreaming of these tacos every day for the rest of my life. Let’s taco bout it. (See what I did there?) if you know me or read my reviews there’s three things I could live on forever. Tacos of course, Pho and Cold Brew. There are a couple taco spots I frequent, but I always listen for new places to check out. If they’re local I definitely have to come and support. My daughter and I were in the mood for some Quesa Birria tacos so I looked around to see what my options were near El Mirage since we were in the area supporting another local spot. My eyes instantly saw Calizona and I knew this was where we were headed. I’ve heard great things and I’m honestly surprised I hadn’t stopped yet since our favorite butcher shop/market for asada and such is so close. I followed the directions and knew where to stop when I saw the red truck. The lot it is parked in is small, but there was decent parking. I can see it filling up quick. It is located in front of a busy tire shop. As I stated it is a food truck so there is no inside seating. There is however multiple tables with tent cover. Each table has a cooler with salsa to keep cold. The menu is simple and so many tasty options. After a few questions we went with six quesa Birria tacos which to my surprise free consommé because we ordered more than three. We ended up with two consommé which was more than enough even with my daughter dunking those tacos like her life depended on it ha ha. Let me tell you if you could win a taco contest on looks and smell alone they’d win every time. Presentation was on point, some lemons topped a few and oh man from the first bite to the last we couldn’t get enough. The flavor was fantastic. The consommé kicked it up to a whole new level and the toppings fresh. We arrived around 1pm so it wasn’t too busy; just a few other people. Service was good and the cashier gave us some salsa containers to fill to take our food with us. It was a bit cold so while we did take it to go we sat and ate it in the car. Make sure you grab plenty of napkins because those juices run wild. Salsa options had a good kick. I already am planning our next visit to bring back more family and try the rest of the menu. If you’re a lover of Birria then run don’t walk. This is definitely a piece of taco heaven in the much needed west valley!Parking: Small lot so at busy times can be tougher to find a place to park, but so worth it!“

“The food was absolutely amazing. I went here with my family and we decided to try the unique menu items (green enchiladas and grilled cheese both with birria). The drinks are very unique and delicious and the food is so savory. The people working there were also very helpful and kind. I love it here :)“

“As with most open concept restaurants, it is loud. Everything else was fantastic! Our server/bartender was amazing. We ordered the chicharon pork belly tacos were amazing as well as the salsas and guacamole. We also had their butter cake. It was great.“

“**Tacolicioso Food Truck: A Feast for the Senses**Tacolicioso stands as a culinary highlight in the city, a place where I find myself drawn to weekly for their standout dishes: carne asada nachos and vampire tacos. The nachos are a symphony of flavors, with tender carne asada and rich, gooey cheese atop crispy chips, creating an unforgettable bite. The vampire tacos, with their crispy cheese shell and succulent filling, are nothing short of a masterpiece, showcasing Tacolicioso's flair for innovative Mexican cuisine.The atmosphere at Tacolicioso matches the excellence of their food - vibrant, friendly, and utterly welcoming. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, enriched by the warmth of the staff who make every visit special.For anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors with a creative twist, Tacolicioso is a must. It’s more than food; it’s a celebration of culinary artistry that keeps you coming back for more.“

“This restaurant offers the best carne asada in town. All of their steak dishes are absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. The prices are very affordable and the Service is very friendly. I would definitely come check this place out. They have an amazing salsa bar with the best guacamole salsa I've had in a very long time.“

“I was in town visiting a friend. We went to revolu for dinner. Ordered elote for an appetizer. It was absolutely perfect and flavorful! I also ordered a couple of different style tacos and both were really good. We sat at the bar and our server, Andre, was great. He made a delicious mezcal Paloma for me. Their tequila selection is pretty limited, but they have a few good choices. The ambiance in the restaurant was great and it's nicely decorated. I'd highly recommend it! Great balance of flavor and different ingredients make the food special.“

“Decent food. Great service. My burrito was somewhat salty but tasty. If I had known they use canned chicken I would have gone with the grilled chicken burrito for an additional $1.50. Everything else was delicious. Atmosphere was ok - fluorescent lighting but nice clean place. Would definitely go again.“

“Somethings you should know about ElGordo #9 It is diagonal in the intersection of Cactus and N 67th Ave. It is behind gas pumps. El Gordo is inside a gas station that has a lobby. There is a Chandelier in the lobby. The floor is so clean you can eat Mexican Food off it. Any marks you see on the floor are marks, not dirt. They don't do any mechanical work at the gas station. You can get gas in two ways. Before you go inside you should read the big signs on the outside to your left. They advertise specials. There is no music. There are so many choices on the menu. The portions of rice and beans are small. The food is generally inexpensive. They have a salsa, which is "rough" tasting. It is unique. You should try some. To do that you have to go there. You should. How can you pass up a gas station that has a lobby, a chandelier and serves very good (four star) Mexican food. The experience makes this five stars. One final page out of history El Gordo #9 occupies was formerly was the home of Casa De Falafel“

“They took forever, but it was so worth it. the portions are huge and the food was delicious. We got the enchiladas. Ceviche and shrimp quesadillas we could have totally shared 2 plates between the 3 of us, but we loved the leftovers. Our new favorite marisco place for sure. Service was good, but one girl was serving 4 tables, so we had to keep reminding her for things she was nice though. It was pricy $100 but we did get a lot of food, and it was good, so it was worth it for us. It was really cold in the restaurant but than again it's a mariscos restaurant.“

“Came for lunch and I thought this place was excellent for price, service and most importantly great tasting! I had the Carne Asada burrito and it was plenty. They have all kinds of stuff I want to try next, this may be my go to spot when I don't bring a lunch.“

“I wanted to take a moment and give an amazing review!! Since me and my family have found this little truck we cannot get enough!! Great tacos, burritos, quesadillas and we have had the pastor, omg so delicious shrimp, asada, and suadero!!! Salsa is great also and they have a good amount of seats if you want to eat there.“

“We had the Molcajete and it did not disappoint. We also really enjoyed the Chips & Salsa especially cause they bring them with an awesome bean dip. The Food had tons of flavor and Gigi was on point making sure we had a great experience. Thanks Gigi we will be back. ~Fabian “

“We love Caminero's...great food (the tamales, breakfast burritos and carnitas tacos are some of our favorites). Salsa and chips and guac are all great as well. We also love to support locally owned businesses which they are. The staff is always friendly and appreciative of your business!“

“Tonight the guy was working alone, and still provided great food, polite customer service, and good music with a smile on his face... All in a timely manner when he got a late night rush. Definitely recommend to any and everyone, as their menu has options for everyone. This is now our family's favorite local taco truck spot. THANK YOU for the food.“

“The birria tacos and cheese quesadillas were the best we’ve had! I also had a banana smoothie and it was phenomenal. I really wish we had gotten a picture of our food but we couldn’t wait to eat it! We will be coming here a lot more often in the future.“

“If you want some of the best Taco's you have to go to Master Taco!!! Plus if Nelly is working you are going to get the best service. She makes this place even better. On point with your order and even with tons of tickets in the window and taking orders she still makes time to bring you your food with a smile. She is never not hustling to make this place a restaurant you definitely need to try“

“This has been the best sit down Mexican restaurant we have found in Surprise. Really well seasoned rice and beans. The chips were fresh. I wish the salsa had a little more spice but it was good. The chicken enchilada mole was very well balanced. The green chile burro enchilada style had great flavor too.“

“SOOOO GOOD! I got the birria vampiros and omg they're so good! My autistic 2 year old has refused eating tacos his whole life until I was eating these and he casually came over and started eating them out of my hand. I was flabbergasted and had to come leave a blazing positive review. They're really that good!“

“Bought a brand new car at Peoria Automation and went to Arriba's Mexican Restaurant. It was fantastic! Everything was fantastic. On a fun note, I was waiting at the front door for my son to arrive and customers were arriving. In order to stay at the door waiting, I held the door open for the incoming patrons. They were thanking me as I was welcoming them to the restaurant. It was so fun pretending to be the host.“

“Boycott any of the Bertos' joints, come try this place.Pros: Home made food! I CAN'T EXPRESS THAT ENOUGH.I got the California Burrito, Carne Asada Fries and the 5 Rolled Beef Tacos. The meat is not fatty and cheap like at other Bertos' locations. Deliciously seasoned and spiced.The rolled tacos aren't small microwaveable lookalikes, instead they're sizeable and filling. Their Salsa bar is delightful as well (He wasn't kidding about that red sauce oooowee). Most importantly, above their delicious home made cooking, their prices are outstandingly low and affordable.Cons: More like minor inconveniences...They do not have a drive through, so yes you'll need to get out of your vehicle and actually go in (oh no).Small hole in the wall, but wasn't busy. Potential for seating to be limited, but not in my experience.Home made cooking, means slightly longer wait time but your patience will be rewarded with delicious food.10/10 recommend. Try it out. They're not getting the business they deserve!Ps. Fortune cookie is for size comparison.“

“Always great and affordable food! Tyler does a fantastic job there and seems to be there every time we go in. This is our go-to restaurant about once a week.Dietary restrictions: I have a soy allergy and I don't have to worry about it there. Just ask them and they'll tell you what's in the food.“

“Yummy food.The new parking experience did not work. You use the app to enter your car information. So when it doest work, you can't park there? My grandmother and mother-in-law didn't have handicap parking and then the app wouldn't accept their information. We would have like to stay longer and not be rushed.Parking: Parking app did not work.If it doesn't work, you can't park?“

“Walked in and was greeted with a smile. We ordered to go and it took 45 minutes to get our food. And by the time we got home (just over a mile away)it was cold. I do understand that stuff happens but it was slow and there wasn’t even a “I’m sorry about your wait” food was ok, would have been better warm.“

“I've been to all the other Mexican food restaurants in the area. I decided to try this place for the first time because of the great things I've read about Don Jose's. I also hold a warm place in my heart for small family owned business's. As soon as I walked in the place, I felt the most comfortable atmosphere. Decorated beautifully. I was welcomed by the most humble man behind the counter. He was very patient with me taking my order. I didn't know how extensive their menu was, and didn't think to look at beforehand! After giving him my order, he even threw in a desert snack for me! I soon after saw a pin behind the counter that resembled his dedicated time of service to our country. I put two and two together and realized this was America's best-- running this restaurant. The cheese enchiladas were like the ones I remember having in Guadalajara. The cheese is delicious with the perfect spicy/ tangy red sauce. The Chile relleno was out of this world & the batter around the chili was so much more flavorful and better textured than the ones I've been used to. This is absolutely my favorite Mexican restaurant in the valley at this time. Of course it had to be the last place I tried“

“Our first visit..and impressed at the service in helping choose our selections from the menu. Quality of the food was excellent, even ordered take out to take home. A must stop and you would be delighted for a great satisfying meal..Parking: Easy ample parking facing resturant..“

“This is one of the more authentic taco locations we have visited. They have a fire pit in front where many if not all the meats are cooked and the taste is delicious. Our Spanish is poor, but the staff is patient and easy to work with to complete the orders. We love coming here for a mini vacation moment.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE.CARNE IS LIKE BEING IN ROCKY POINT, FRESH FROM THE HOT GRILL, CHOPPED AND TASTES AMAZING.HORCHATA IS READY AND COLD, TO PROVIDE RELIEF FROM THE HOT PEPPERS!!!!! NICE.JUST WANT TO ADD......I DO WISH THERE WERE SALSA/HOT SAUCE BOTTLES AVAIL IN THE DINING LOBBY.THANK YOU MESQUITE!!!!!!!!!“

“Food was pretty good. Felt like the beans and rice could have better flavor they just tastes simple. Customer service was great. Our server had quite a few tables but made the best to make sure we had a good experience. I think I just expected more for the prices. Just my opinion. These are some of the food we ordered.“

“Food was hot, fresh and tasty. Exceeded my expectations. Been coming here for several years and love it. The staff is kind and attentive to questions. The combo portions are great and there's a lot of variety. I'm a huge fan of the BOGO combo coupon in the ValuPak. Great place to eat as a family with 3 kids.Kid-friendliness: The front end employee provided water cups for each of my kids. She was kind. Kids love the quesadilla and fries.“

“Pretty nice placeFind everything quite acceptable. Recommend it if you like real Mexican food. Prices are in line with just about any other place I have eaten at. No complaints at all. Keep it up. You're doing great.Parking: More than enough parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Double doors. Street ramp.“

“Really unique inside. You order from a camper area for food and drinks at the bar. Inside and outside seating. We had tacos, nachos and kids loved it as well. Drinks were great, staff super friendly. Highly recommend for couples or families!“

“Coming from a picky eater.!!!!! Tacos made perfectly ? to my like .. Had there Valentines day special.. Great dinning place to come and relax and eat.. Will definitely recommend and come back.. Hope you guys keep growing.. Thank you for the friendly service.Parking: Large shopping centerKid-friendliness: nice and calm ..Wheelchair accessibility: easy access“

“I was looking for mariscos Sinaloa style and been new to Glendale AZ I think I found it, I tried a large botana with everything in it and shared it with my wife. Since I was born in Sinaloa I know Sinaloa style mariscos so we enjoyed to the endMet the owner and enjoyed a good conversation reminiscing about Sinaloa. Thank you (PS) Not an impressive location on front but you need to go inside and enjoy the food.“

“Hands down the best carnitas Ive had in Arizona. Ive been to many Mexican restaurants in AZ that say they have Michoacán style carnitas, but I try them and notice that it’s not the case. The carnitas here are. The meat is tender and the cuerito is like butter.“

“After Juan’s Mexican Food on Thomas and 16th street closed down. This is where I come for the best hardshell shredded beef tacos.The prices are great, the food quality is 9/10 great flavor and made fresh to order. I've tried mostly everything on the menu, so far, I haven't found any item I dislike.My favorite item is the California Burrito. The best one I've had hands down, no competition.Parking: Small parking lot, spaces are limited. Tight area. Check your car for damage when leaving.“

“I love Everything about Comiendo Con Memo. First off this is a family owned restaurant/taco truck that serves amazing, delicious tacos! The environment is great, the music is great, the tacos are amazing but most of all, Memo, his wife and kids are such genuine, kind people. They treat you like family! You must try every taco option here because truly each selection is is amazing from the carne asada to the tripas! Love love love this place“

“Came here about 5 months ago for the first time and loved it . Came here over the weekend with my kids they got ice cream , my husband got a mango and I got a fresada. Great selection , only thing I would recommend is they hire more people because the wait is very long“

“This place has the most Amazing food we have found since we moved here 5 years ago. EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious. Our number one goal when trying a new place is the salsa and theirs does not disappoint! It is freshly made in house and so flavorful with just the right amount of of heat! All of their food is made fresh from scratch and is sooo good. We go every Tuesday for our lunch (and dinner) the cook on that day is the best! His wife works the front counter and is alway so sweet and genuine. We highly recommend this place!“

“Great food. Had the Verde shrimp taco, and Verde steak taco and was not disappointed!Love the salsa bar. It had six kinds of salsa, and even cilantro and extra limes to squeeze over your tacos. Fast and friendly service, I wish I could take this place home with me.Parking: Local mall parking available.“
