“Excelente food .$25 per person is enough to have a very good diner . We order different dises and we are very happy with our order.I love that they have only mexican music playing and are very colorful..... I don't mind paying 18% on tip on any restaurant. The only difference on this one is that you have to pick up your plates and clean the table ?.And we pay the 18% anyway I think the employees deserved, but I think they should keep someone in charge to pick up the tables .. other things that you might want to do is let the employees use uniforms or t-shirts and hats with the restaurant name, I think, will step up to the next level ..I will definitely caming back with more friends, and I will share this place on all my social media ...“

Taco Guerrero Tacos • $

“Came here today for lunch. I was craving some authentic tacos and decided to give this a shot. I'm glad I did. Not only are they friendly but they also are very affordable and delicious. I ordered the Al pastor, the Barbacoa, and the carnitas. The carnitas were my favorite but the tacos were filled with meat and plenty of fresh cilantro and onion and lime. We ordered 6 tacos and they came out to $16.00. The truck is a bit unassuming and it's located in a parking lot across from the supermarket but great food. I'll definitely be back. There was a bit of a language barrier but lucky for me I'm well versed in ordering my food in Spanish lol. Definitely give them a try. They are cash only.“

“So I have to say I am really pleased that Diego’s has got its groove back. I was there in June for a disastrous brunch and we left aft 45 minutes of a really bad experience. I mention this as the owner must have cleaned house. I was there on Sunday for brunch and I can not help but to describe the experience as phenomenal. The service - impeccable. It was almost as if the waitress knew when our drinks were almost empty every time. She also had some great recommendations related to the food and drinks. The food - phenomenal. We had the crack fries as an appetizer and it was not only great but the portion large enough that I had trouble finishing my actual meal. And the special - I had the Chicken Benedict. The only thing I can say bad about it was it was so big I couldn’t finish it. Everything about it was perfect - it had a little zing, the cornbread was a perfect alternative to an English Muffin, and the chicken so good. So my compliments to the owner and staff. I don’t see my review from June but I’m sure they remember it and changes were made. We decided to give it another try and I will I say this without hesitation… this was probably one of the best brunch meals I have had in a long time. Well done - we will definitely be back.“

“Got the small nachos with pulled Chicken and 3 tacos supreme. Delicious. Only left at front desk of my hotel by Grub Hub. I put my room number in the message field of the App, but it did not print out on the receipt so the front desk did not know which room to ring.What if it were a bomb? Or a baby? The front desk needs to know who ordered what. That sounds like a GrubHub issue. Again, food was great.“

The filling was juicy and flavorful while the tortilla was moist and the perfect texture.It's a small place, and even though we came around 2:30pm, it was still pretty busy with people coming in to eat. The service was friendly and very speedy. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd love to come have tacos here again.“

Have tried other places but this is, by far, the best. The huaraches are the super yummy... Crispy yet soft with steak or carnitas generously piled on top with all the fixings! Their homemade hot sauces are delicious and can definitely give your taste buds a kick! Honestly, whatever we've tried there has never disappointed!“

Nice little place...nothing fancy, but the food was great...exceeded our expectations. Lily singlehandedly took care of us and many others without missing a beat. She was on fire! Great job Lily, thank you! We had Margaritas and some combo plates...and the usual chips n salsa. Everything was delicious. My go-to meal is the chili rellano, and it was GREAT. If you pass thru Cottonwood, make this place a must-stop for yourself, you won't be disappointed.“

Birria Tacos with Consommé

“Came for taco takeout as apart of the RI Food Fights passport promotion and received two birria tacos a side of birria consommé. The consommé was amazing and the tacos were pretty good although I would have preferred them to have a bit more salt which is strange as I find Mexican food to be generally salty but I see this as a benefit to those who are watching their sodium intake. The tacos had plenty of cheese, a good amount of cilantro and onion, the tortillas and meat were flavorful.Plenty of street parking and outdoor seating available. There seemed to be a converted RV with tables you could sit in if it's too cold or raining. Not sure if there is a bathroom on premises. Loud, fun music was playing. Service was very friendly but it should be noted that it's CASH OR ZELLE ONLY.“
