| - Went for lunch on a recommendation from a fellow foodie who I trust. It was a Wednesday around noon so there was no wait, staff was friendly and was seated right away. The waitress was a gem, told her it was my first time and she sat down next to me to explain the menu and what I should try. I got the Joanne Special (cheese crisp appetizer) and Xaviers Burro (not sure the name, but the top choice off the burro portion of the menu).
I'll go back for the chips and salsa alone. Their regular salsa is amazing, you'll like it, trust me. When she found out I like it hot she brought out another little bowl of fiery goodness, though I like their original better, both are great.
The Joanne cheese crisp will pretty much be a go to every time from now on, Corn tortilla with green chili pork and jalapenos with melted cheese on top....loved it.
The burro was one of the best ever, not that I usually get a burro, more of a chimi, or relleno, or mole kinda guy. But damn good food. If I remember right it was red and green chili served enchilada style. Couldn't have been happier.
I've been to just about every "recommended" Mexican restaurant throughout the Phoenix area, Carolina's, Comedor Guadalajara, Barrio Queen, Mi Patio, Valle Luna, Los Dos Molinos, La Hacienda, Los Sombreros, etc, etc.
Gotta say I'm proud Mesa has Xaviers now..Will go back and probably try everything on the menu. No it's not like Barrio Queen or La Hacienda, but for a sit down place in Mesa I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather go. Prices are cheap and there's nothing exotic, just damn good food!...
(this is the old Mike Thai restaurant, tho I'm glad Xaviers is there now I sure do miss Mike Thai, some of the best Thai food to grace the Mesa area)
Anyway, check it out, what else ya got? Nandos? Serranos? Bleck....
