As an Arizona native I have tasted good mexican food and bad americanized mexican food. (I like taco bell, but this was not as good). We had not been here in a while and used to go to the ones in Phoenix and Tempe several times over the years but it had been a while. We were very disappointed. The salsa was not hot and when we asked for the smooth sauce which usually tends to be hotter, it was like eating tomato sauce with no flavors whatsoever. The regular salsa tasted like chopped tomatoes but with no chili's or spices. I am not sure if they were trying to be very bland but that is how it tasted. We shared the sampler platter (small bite sized portions of different items). The chips were greasy and tasted very stale. The server was nice and the bathroom was clean. That is why they got a star.
