Food was garbage, I ordered carne asada tacos and they came out completely burnt… I also asked the guy taking my order for “a small side of beans, and a small side of rice” and he made it a combo….. which is not what I asked for. The rice tasted like sink water with no flavor and completely mushy…. Would not recommend and never coming here again

Food is okay. Kid at drive through did not pay attention and kept stating the total to pay at the window as my wife was still ordering. We then paid with cash and the crook came back to the window stating he needed to run our card again as it... Food is okay. Kid at drive through did not pay attention and kept stating the total to pay at the window as my wife was still ordering. We then paid with cash and the crook came back to the window stating he needed to run our card again as it didn't work. $8 for tiny bite sized tacos. We will never return.

I came here to have a nice lunch with my daughter. I ordered. It was out in wrong, but made correctly per the receipt. I went up and asked for the burrito to be remade, the side of rice and bean special, and my $1 refund. Karina was very rude.... I came here to have a nice lunch with my daughter. I ordered. It was out in wrong, but made correctly per the receipt. I went up and asked for the burrito to be remade, the side of rice and bean special, and my $1 refund. Karina was very rude. She said, "you want $1 back?!" I said, well yes. What I was rang up for is $1 more than what I ordered. She then said, it's only a few cents difference argumentatively. I said, no. The steak is $11.95 and the chicken is $10.95. It's a dollar plus tax. She scoffed. She pulled out a calculator. I told her she was very rude. She again scoffed as she handed me my change. We are a family of 6 and I will not be considering this place as a family dinner spot. Karina should not be in a customer service position.

It's fantastic there's a backyard taco on the east side of Mesa. I'm not sure why but the Stapley location tastes slightly better. But they have all the items I love.

The service is slow, I was given 2 prices in the drive thru and eventually charged the higher of the two, the food is really high priced with portions sized for small child, except for the burrito it was a bean and cheese with only a sprinkle of cheese. The food lacks any real Mexican flavor and presentation leaves a lot to be desired.. this location needs help. I would be ashamed to serve this..
