| - This is probably the best chain Mexican restaurant in Arizona. Inside, the decor is classic. Bright colors with a Southwestern feel. They have a large inside area as well as a patio off of the bar, when it's not 100 plus degrees.
Having grown up in AZ, I always have to return here when I visit, since there is no good Mexican food in the Midwest.
The waiter was average, as is usually the case here. Nothing bad, but nothing that really says wow either. They do a good job of refilling water though.
To start...their legendary chips and salsa. Both are homemade. The chips are light as air and not greasy. The mild salsa is okay, but I always ask for the hot. It's amazing and has a good kick that makes your nose run a bit.
For my entree, I had the Baja chimi. It's filled with seasoned barbacoa (very lean and juicy), deep fried, and coated in a white Baja sauce. The sauce has a great amount of heat, which is cut down by the homemade guacamole and sour cream. This thing is huge!!!
It's served with homemade refried beans and Spanish rice, both of which were excellent.
This place brings back great memories of my youth.
