Authentic Mexican Food - Yuma: Reviews & Ratings

The name is appropriate, very authentic. I had the asada tacos, the chorizo tacos, and a cheese quesadilla. They were all very good. The salsa bar has 3-4 varieties of salsa, they're all good, but I liked the green and the spicy red the most. The service was fast and the people were friendly. The only downside is that parking is very limited and it can get busy, probably because it is so good.

We were in town for one night and wanted authentic Mexican food. Went here and they were making fresh flautas right in front. Amazing flavor, definitely recommend. Not a sit down restaurant but tables outside, fun!

As they would say this place was muy authentíco. It's what you expect when you ask for where can I get awesome tacos. Tacos are about 2 bites so be prepared to order a few. They are topped with cabbage and onions, and they serve a salsa and avacdo crema on the side. Beans were pretty on point as well. Simple menu, simple food, and whole Lotta sabor. Also they open at 5 and not a minute sooner.

This place was awesome. The food was great. I gave you large portions. I ordered a lot more than I need it. The quesadilla the large one is like two quesadillas is huge full of chicken. Ordered some other small tacos but really the quesadilla was enough.

Tacos weren't outstanding, a little overpriced. But amazing. Their salsa/avocado sauces were good. Feel like they should have a defined spot for their line though, maybe like an "order here" sign or "line starts here" line. Just to make it a little more organized. We bought 10 tacos, that were very slightly larger than your average "street tacos" but it ran us $20.00. Made it feel slightly expensive. Turning it from a place I could frequent, to a place I would only go once a month or so.

I’m not an expert on authentic Mexican food, so I can’t vouch for this place’s authenticity, but the food was incredible and everything about the place seemed authentic enough! Because of COVID, I had to order inside (mask on), then take the receipt outside and hand it to whoever was working in the food truck. It wasn't busy, so overall order-to-eat time was maybe like 5 minutes? I got the Carne Asada and I'll honestly be thinking about it until I die. If I'm ever in Yuma, AZ again, I'll definitely be going back to this place. On a separate note, it did feel a bit alien, going inside was more like walking into an empty grocery store. The outside seating is limited and so is the parking, but both times I went (9PM) it was nearly empty. But all that being said, the guy working the register was easy to talk to despite having a bit of an accent (what do you expect from an authentic Mexican place though?) and the cook was nice and quick as well. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to locals and travelers alike!

Been searching around town for places that have bean and cheese burritos. Been making comparisons to Chili pepper. I finally found a restaurant that serves a burrito better than Mr. Gs/ Chili Pepper. AND ITS HERE! BEST BEAN N CHEESE IN TOWN!!!
