Mexican food and BBQ in the same space is mind blowing! When I think Mexican BBQ I think carne asada but this place is so different. It takes a simple and delicious Mexican dish like Green Chile (both in pork and beef) and Red Chile and really makes it great. Then it adds great BBQ like brisket, ribs and pulled pork. Wow!
First the BBQ. I have only tried the pulled pork with the coleslaw and it was done very well. The serving is quite big with two options, 1/4lb and 1/2lb. You can always order meat by the pound as well. My favorite part was the BBQ sauce options that they bring out to your table. The BBQ is smoked with a dry rub and you have your option of sauce at your table. This style of BBQ they don't claim to be from any particular region. They call it AZ BBQ! Whatever they do it's great.
The sides. They have coleslaw, Mac salad, rice, beans, and you have the option to purchase a bag of chips. The rice and beans were good. Nothing amazing or different but good especially because the star is the Green Chile. The coleslaw is very sweet but complimented the spice form the bbq sauce I chose. I purchased some Mac Salad for my son but it was also sweet. It was like coleslaw with pasta added. Too sweet for my taste but not awful and pairs great with BBQ.
Now the Mexican food. The salsa options are there and their chips are warm and salty. Just what you need to accompany the salsa. The Red Chile from the burrito needed a bit of work and it's not what I'm used to. It needs more flavor. The menu said it was spicy but I didn't think so. The Green Chile burrito (I prefer the beef and make sure to add cheese) is spot on. I personally make Green Chile differently but it doesn't mean this isn't any good. It's not spicy but has flavor. The burrito is big and I shared with my husband. The meat on both Chile's is very tender. And the burritos are packed with sauce.
The menu is very simple and straight forward but the food is done right. The lines are always long but you get through it fairly quickly.
The ambiance is great! You're outside in a grove of orange trees. There's hummingbirds all around. This time of year it's great for eating outside. Please remember that there is ONLY outside seating at this place.
