MAKE A RESERVATION! My hubby and I went on a Thursday night not expecting a wait. We are from out of town and didn't know how busy this place can get. From what we heard, this is typical all over Mesa/surrounding area. We were told 30 minutes and 45 minutes later, we were seated. After having lived in Albuquerque before, I was so excited at the prospect of authentic New Mexican carne adovada! Our server was friendly and attentive but my carne tasted nothing like NM carne adovada. While I recognize AZ isn't NM, I can make it more authentic tasting with my Hatch chilies I have shipped to me in Oregon. This place touts itself as New Mexican and frankly, it's not. It's not bad but it's not New Mexican. If I lived there; I'd make the drive back to Albuquerque for the real thing. Don't get me wrong...the food isn't bad at all it's just not the real thing.
