Little Mexico: Reviews & Ratings

We came here as it was recommend by a local. The location leaves a lot to be desired and we were honestly hesitant to go there but she raved about the food so we gave it a try! The food and service were both excellent. Portions are huge and we all took home leftovers. The shredded beef taco and enchilada were great and their tamales were some of the best I have had. My only complaint is they give you queso and salsa with the chips and the queso was really cold- it would have been much better warm! Will definitely eat here again when back in town!

My first time here. Chips and a queso and salsa dip came out. My meal came within 10 minutes of ordering and the plate and meal came out hot. One of my biggest pet peeves is not having a hot meal so I was very happy. The two chicken enchiladas were stuffed full of chicken. The refried beans and rice were delicious. The only small negative to me is it came out with lettuce and cheese on top and not enough sauce. I’d rather have melted cheese on the enchiladas and the lettuce on the side. But now I’m grasping at straws for something negative.

Hola corolla! We were in Tucson recently and decided to try this place under recommendation I believe, idk i was just the driver. The place was decent, nothing fancy. We were a party of 4. It took about 5mins to be seated as there were others waiting to be seated as well. We got situated and it took a little bit as there was one person it seemed waiting on tables. I saw that our table was dirty with stains and asked for it to be wiped down. Our server was apologetic and prompt to wipe it down. From there we placed our order. We were given chips and salsa. Now idk peeps I mean our stuff was cold and maybe I was expecting more like fresh made??? It was cold out and I imagined the chips would be hot and fresh from the fryer. The salsa was meh at best. Our food arrived within 10 to 15mins. I ordered a steak with rice and beans and a flour tortilla. The steak was of decent size and the rest was acceptable. However I ordered med rare and it was slightly cooked more than I was expecting. It also came with a choice of options such as soups and such. I ordered the red menudo. the menudo was more hominy than a mix of trip and ingredients. Ok I suppose again it wasn't what I was expecting . To be honest I wasn't impressed.. we've gone to other places on a whim and I can remember the difference. This place to ME was ok and I'm giving it 4 stars because I was hungry and the family really seemed to enjoy it. We all took containers home with leftovers. Maybe it'll taste better as breakfast or lunch tomorrow .

It's a nice place and lots of seating. The staff are really nice as well my only issue was the green corn tamales were under cooked which was a huge disappointment for me. I do like the chips and salsa which I am a huge fan of and they were delicious especiallythe salsa!! Prices are reasonable and Id go back to try something else since this was my first visit.

Great sit down Mexican restaurant. Did the C8 combo - beef taco, cheese enchilada, beef tamale. Spreading the lettuce on top of enchilada ruins the beautiful sauce. Not a fan of the store bought taco shell but everything tasted great.

Best green carne con chile I’ve had in decades!!!!!!! Don’t pass this spot up. U can’t die before trying this. Coworkers loved their orders too(enchiladas n crispy tacos). Capirutada had good flavor but wayyyyyy too soggy.

I have been to this location many times and the staff is always so very friendly and attentive. The food was as usual, so very flavorful and the cinnamon tea is a staple for sure. The only downside to the trip was the VERY long wait for one dish while everyone had already gotten their meals and basically finished... The was a first so we didn't make a fuss. All in all this is a great place, with delicious food and they're rarley a packed house when we visit *If you want a drink to-go you just order it that way initially because otherwise you'll have to pay extra for a to-go drink* They are very thorough with their with the cleaning if their tables and floors, cleaning product kinda filled the air.
