| - I will be the first to tell you that I do not eat much Mexican outside of my house or my in-laws house because I get it fresh there. So, while in the Mesa area a group of friends decided to go to Macayos to get some food as half of the group is veg/full vegan and needed a place that has some options for them.
The restaurant was not full at all on a Saturday afternoon and though it was blazing outside the AC made it feel nice and cool inside. Our large group of about 15 was seated quickly and our drink orders were taken super fast. After we were all ready to order our order was taken, then it took about 30 mins for our food to come out. The waitress waited until all of our food was ready, which left me starving, but was a good idea as we were all able to eat together.
I, being the "Taco Kingpin", ordered the Chicken Tinga tacos with black beans, spanish rice and guacamole. The tinga was better than I expected. I am not sure if many people know what Tinga is, but it is Chicken marinated with onions and chipotle peppers. This one was not spicy at all, as opposed to homemade versions. Everything was above average, as I like to say, regular restaurant Mexican food.
For dessert our table ordered some deep fried ice cream. I did not try it, but from what I heard it was pretty good and easy to share. Overall it was not bad, I could be bias as I do not Mexican food outside my house, but it was above average Mexican.
