I don't understand the rave reviews. The food is moderately fresh, but the recipes are weird and the portions are tiny. I don't know if it's because I keep ordering the wrong things (tacos), but after 3 attempts here, my husband and I gave up. It seemed really gringo, and not not-Mexican-but-not-bad gringo like Chipotle, but not-Mexican-but-not-good gringo like Chile's, the chain restaurant. So if you feel like a hipster, expensive, Gilbert edition of On-The-Border because you've too scared to go to Mexico or even just Mesa so you don't know the difference, go for it. It reminded me of the time I went to Nogales and ate at place serving pizza - people get delighted at the idea that they're eating other people's food even when it has nothing even remotely to do with it. If you like decently fresh, authentic Mexican fare, I think you'll be more impressed with the patio than the food.
