I've been working in Prescott for a few months. Best tacos I have had here so far. Rice and beans were delicious as well. I will definitely be going back.

We weren’t sure this is the same place we went to for fantastic Mexican food when we came up to Prescott a few years back. But it is. Tonight we had carne asada tacos fish tacos and the trio fajitas. So delicious. We loved the flour shells. Amazing flavor with the fajitas -beef shrimp and chicken. Amazing! I did a to go order and loved the chips and salsa add and I got a side of guacamole. The rice has no dairy (thank you and authentic). All delicious. I really enjoyed the fish tacos. So fresh, lite and again no dairy just amazing flavor!

UPDATE: The restaurant has moved to 410 W Goodwin St and changed its name to Frank's Restaurant. A local mom and pop Mexican restaurant that serves yummy foods in a colorful restaurant with great service. If you are in Prescott, you should pay a visit to enjoy their delectable creations!

We know authentic Mexican food and this is excellent! Our test is always enchiladas, tacos and beans! They passed the test with flying colors! The taco meat was well seasoned, crunchy shell, cheesy beans, delicious red enchilada sauce and loved the rice. We’ll definitely be back, this is the best Mexican food in Prescott and we’ve been here since 1960’s. Family owned and run! We’re sooo happy! Can’t wait to try the menudo next!!!

Cozy atmosphere and delicious mexican food. My favorite was that they offer a lot of gluten free options and they don't cook with lard. Everyone was very kind and accommodating. The one small complaint I had was the ceviche was a bit bland as I'm used to it having a bit of a kick/spice to it. It was fish, pico de gallo and lemon. Needed more pico and perhaps some tabasco or jalapeños. I'd definitely go back again.

Great little family run restaurant. Super friendly with tasty food and reasonable prices. Stopped in for dinner on a Friday. Most of the tables were taken, including the outdoor seating, so I placed the order to go. They were very accommodating and changed my order to dine in without batting an eye to my last-minute request. Had carnitas tacos and chicken chimichanga. Both were delicious. Food tasted fresh, especially the guacamole! I will return if I'm in the area again.

This place was great. I got a really basic bean and cheese burrito enchilada style and really liked it. The cheese was flavorful and the beans were amazing. Service was also extremely good and friendly. I felt like the people running the place were family friends. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling through this area.
