1. Appearance 5
Above photos give you an idea of the interior.
Reminiscent of a beachside Cabo cantina, this Flagstaff eatery is a maze of brightly colored rooms which all lead to an open air patio. Rich south-of-the-border and tropical decorations embellish every nook and cranny including the restrooms--which rate high on our “neat seats” scale. Tip: the “banos” are labeled in Spanish, so it’s a good idea to pull out the tourist phrase book to avoid an embarrassing encounter. Rounding out the college-town, faux-barrio feel is a tiny, neon-drenched bar room with the requisite blaring big screen and rough-hewn stone flooring that spills out into a sunny brick-paved outdoor party space.

2. Menu 5

Not the usual Mexican menu for Arizona. Definitely New Mexico/Mexico. Food is not hot. Make it hot to your taste using their homemade salsa. They have a full bar with many types of Mexican cervaza.

3. Prices 5
My tab was $13 which included a specialty burrito, rice, beans (not refried), and drink.





4. Bathroom 6

This got above a 5 because of the ceramics and the cleanliness. Only thing is a person must have a little understanding of the Spanish language to know the difference between the men (caballeros) and women (damas) bathrooms.

5. Service 5

Prompt and friendly.

We had a person join us for the first time-Joyce. As soon as she saw the menu and the atmosphere she said she will return.

Definitely return
