This eatery has been our favorite Mexican food place for years, but it's been awhile since we'd been there. My favorite dish was their Carnitas, which came in the form of a thinly sliced pork steak with a really tasty and unique spicy sauce, veggies and rice and beans. It came this way for years, but tonight I discover it has changed completely. The shredded pork is now mixed with veggies and there is no sauce. Rice and beans are all that remain of a once outstanding dish. The new Carnitas dish is tasty, just not what I wanted or expected. Why did they change my favorite dish? My wife and out of town guest both had the spinach enchiladas and they said they were tasty, but were a little short on the spinach. Margaritas were weak, but good enough. They were pretty busy (a good thing), but seemed a little short handed and service was slow. Fortunately, the assistant manager took our drink orders and popped in now and then for refills and such, which we appreciated. All in all, a pretty good Mexican food place, but this change to the menu, and skimping on key ingredients will cause second thoughts next time we're in the mood for Mexican food.

Each time I come here I enjoy it more & more & try something different, so tonight it was a 2 item combo plate consisting of a pork taco, guacamole tostada, rice, & beans with a raspberry iced tea to drink. Very tasty! My waitress was Michelle & she was awesome & so nice! It was busy but not loud! Perfect ambiance for a Taco Tuesday!

Starts out with our hostess & server in Costume for our lunchtime visit (We stopped in on Halloween, and all staff were dressed for Dia de los Muertos. Gorgeous Makeup and accessories! My 4yr old grandson was very taken with the makeup and she was so polite & sweet to him the entire visit! Even served his food a bit sooner than myself and the other 2 Adults I was dining with. He wanted the carnitas street tacos, rice, bean burrito, and i was a bit worried he wouldn't eat it all, so we shared and everything was fresh, and so delicious! My husband had the 3 cheese enchiladas and they were huge! My Mother in Law had the burrito w a side of rice, and honestly i had THE BEST spanish rice EVER. And believe me at nearly 60 yrs old, living a few hrs from the AZ/MEX border, I've probably eaten POUNDS AND POUNDS of the stuff. I would literally JUST eat the rice in a huge bowl all by itself! To end our meal, our server brought my grandson his first piece of Halloween candy for this year! His eyes nearly popped out of his head!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

My wife and I were wanting to try a different Mexican restaurant and we decided to drive down Apache Trail and go to Los Gringos Locos. I ordered the Chicken Chimichanga. Enchiladas style. The enchiladas sauce was a different taste than what I am used to and it had a little spicy taste to it. The chicken was moist and tasted good, as did the rice. My wife ordered the Veggie Pizza and it was loaded with toppings and my wife said it tasted great. To get to this restaurant you have to drive through Apache Junction and the restaurant is on the right so it's a little drive if you don't live in the far east valley. There's a separate dining area from the bar side, there's also an outdoor dining section. All in all we will come back.

This has been a local eatery for years. I've been a few times the last several years, and the food quality has improved greatly since my initial review. Love there are a couple veggie options. The service is always very friendly, and love when they recognize my dad and me. Overall, the atmosphere is not too loud and pretty comfortable.
