Some friends and I went for the first time yesterday evening. Everything was excellent! Including our server he went above and beyond for all four of us. I told him that I didn't like cilantro and without me asking. He brought me out a little bowl of salsa without cilantro. :)
The chips and salsa are delicious! The salsa is spicy but it’s flavor is so good, it’ll keep you going back. The chicken chimichanga is delicious! You do only get rice or beans as a side and if you want both you pay an up charge. The prices are really great, the chimichanga was only $11. Service was excellent. I only give it a 4 stars because the bathrooms were not clean, and the carpets so look a little dirty.
Excellent Food - Plentiful Lunch Specials
We visited the Oro Valley location on Oracle for lunch. Information on my phone said they have outdoor dining - they do not. We sat in a very comfortable room that might have been a patio area years ago, but is now enclosed with large windows looking out over the parking area. Fresh tortilla chips and a very tasty, slightly spicy salsa were brought to the table immediately. My wife and I both ordered iced teas. I do enjoy beer, but they have no beer on tap - only bottles and I prefer tap. The menu is quite extensive and there are Lunch Specials which are a buck or two lower in price compared to standard menu pricing. My wife selected the Beef Tamale and Cheese Enchilada Combo($7.99). I ordered the Burro of Choice With Works. I chose shredded beef as my burro protein and when ordering 'With Works', you have options to get the burro enchilada style (ranchero style sauce and melted cheese over the burro), guacamole side, and sour cream side - any or all of these. I got it all! All lunch specials come with either rice or beans. Unlike most restaurants where lunch specials tend to be a smaller portion of a standard menu item, these dishes were anything but small. My wife had an excellent tamale filled with an abundant amount of flavorful shredded beef. A perfect ratio of masa to beef. Her chicken enchilada was excellent topped with a bit of spicy enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. As the sauce was a little spicy for her, she asked for some sour cream. Out came a bowl with maybe a full cup of sour cream ($2.49 add-on) and was a perfect pairing with the sauce. The Mexican rice had more flavor than most. Centered between the enchilada and tamale was a small undressed salad. My plate could hold no more. A very large sauce and cheese covered burrito, large sides of sour cream and one of the best guacamoles I've had in Arizona. I also had some undressed salad. The refried beans were tasty, especially when I added some of the salsa. The burro is packed with shredded beef. No beans or other fillers. I brought home 2/3 of my burro, my wife did likewise with her enchilada, plenty for another lunch. We recommend this place for sure. Go hungry and you'll still bring food home.
11.11.22 Update... Birthday lunch and the experience is always great however today was exceptional! Our server, Maribel, when above and beyond in our opinion. As we asked for to go boxes she not only brought containers for every single part of our meal that we were taking home but also extra drinks for the road. This is the first time we have experienced this particular service and our server deserves a shout out exclamation thank you Maribel!
A true favorite for the hubby and I. Friendly and just delicious! Call in order for pick up or dine in you won't be disappointed.

I love this place.. the Apollo something Calenta something. Grilled chicken with white sauces lemon, beans and rice. Yum gum
Food is excellent as always. Huge portions. Authentic Mexican meals. Setting is showing some wear and table top was sticky. Waitress was prompt with taking our order and with serving food but was missing the rest of dinner. Husband wanted another drink but she never came by to check on us. Had to wave her down for the check.
It's good I feel that it was better yrs ago but I'll be fair needed to ask for setups and there was six of us male waiter was not very good lazy.....waited over 20 mins on refills teas n sodas should be easy.
Had the Chicken Topopo for lunch and asked for it without the tortilla and beans. Was expecting the chicken to at least be warm. But it was just cold shredded chicken with shredded lettuce and cheese on top. Nice that it tomatoes, avocado and tomato slices. Then they added a green onion and celery on top that wasn't chopped. Husband had the beef tamale and cheese enchilada and enjoyed that a lot
Decent food, friendly staff. Overall good. Some gaps were when my server asked stuff like if I wanted more chips and salsa, I said no and she brought more any ways. No big deal but I worried my food wouldn't be right (it was ultimately fine).
Service here was very good. Made sure we were doing okay and food was ready super quick. The chicken in the enchiladas were okay. Margaritas were delicious. Chips and salsa very good too.
