| - We went there last night upon recommendation from the manager at our hotel, and were not disappointed. We did have a reservation for 7:00, but since it was a Thursday night, there would probably have been no problem just walking in at that time. We ate inside (loved the decor!), but would have been equally comfortable (temperature-wise) eating outside as it was a temperate evening and they did have heaters if it got cold.
The restaurant is a little hard to find, but they do a good job with sandwich boards on the sidewalk pointing you to the restaurant, and it's totally worth the search. If you have a GPS, that'll help, otherwise look for the signs and park in the lot to the left of the restaurant and the little cluster of businesses it's in.
I had the Tilapia Incrustado with sides of the cheddar mashed potatoes and jalapeno creamed corn, and he had the Ropa Vieja with sides of Arroz con Gandule and black beans. Both were very well done with good flavors in all items. He really liked the sangria, and had a basic mojito with 10K added during dessert. The Banana Buritto for dessert was delicious. We were happily full from the meal. Yum!
Service was a tick slow, but there were only the two guys working the tables. They never forgot anything we asked for, tho', even if they had multiple tables' of things to remember. Entree prices are moderate, altho' adding drinks and desserts puts it in the "spendy" category.
We were extremely pleased to get the Yelp 20% discount ($14.95 for us) just by asking for it. We're not local to Phoenix, but would definitely come back on future visits to the city.
