This little gem of a restaurant sits right in the hood. Don't let that bother you cause the food is off the hook. My shrimp enchiladas were savory and delicious. My daughter's tacos were superb. Their hot sauce is So good you could slap yo mama. (Please do not do so). I heard about this place from a fellow Veteran. It did not disappoint. I gave it 4 stars ONLY because the plates are very ! I mean the serving plates. Will definitely go back again when I go down to Tucson!

Chile con carne chimichanga was really good, the cheese enchiladas were the perfect temp and cheesy with a kind of oily red sauce but none the less still yummy. The menudo was exactly how I like it with the pan tostado. Our server was prompt and he always made sure we had our drinks. I've been there a few years back and it still looks the same.

I have been to this place SOOO many times over the years. I grew up in the area so this was one of our go to for Mexican food. I have since moved but stop in from time to time when visiting. This trip wasn't the best. The service was great and the margaritas were good, but the food was lacking. The green corn tamales were mushy and cold when arrived and the beef tacos were all lettuce and hardly any meat at all. I mean a TON of lettuce. It was ridiculous how much lettuce was on this plate. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place was fairly quiet. Kind of shocked but maybe the food has gone down hill. I'll have to se eon the next trip to Tucson and see if it got better again. Maybe this day was a fluke.

In my search of the best bean burrito on the southside I have made it to Little Mexico. First off let me just say that I was not impressed by the price. Roff the bat, they said that the burrito was $9.51 after tax. Holy cow!!!! That's just bean with cheese and tortilla right?! Now, I had to try it. I thought their beans were the best I've tried so far (sorry los jarritos, Jaliscos, los betos, etc.). They are the most expensive so far with los Betos being the cheapest but I have to admit you get what you pay for. If you are in the mood for some vegetarian alternative at a Mexican food restaurant. I highly suggest getting their bean and cheese burrito because it comes with chips salsa It's a lil pricey. The best bean and cheese burrito so far that I've tried on the South side. Stay tuned though I'm not stopping.

This was a recommendation from the hotel staff where I am staying. This place is amazing! The very friendly wait staff starts you off with fresh chips and salsa when you take your seat. Generous margaritas are brought shortly there after. In my combo, dish there was a tamale cheese enchilada, beef taco, a stuffed chili, beans and rice. Everything was delicious. They had two areas one where we were sitting had multiple locals enjoying meals and the other area had a large party that was also enjoying. So apparently, whatever you are into small get together or a large party. This place is the place to go.

We stopped in at their restaurant on Irvington, even though the area is a bit beaten down, the welcome and vibe inside was fantastic! We were greeted with big "hellos" and seated in minutes, then quickly presented with hot fresh chips n salsa. Our cousin recommended the flat enchilada dinner and we were not disappointed! We did start with their green chili tortilla crisp appetizer, really good. One family member ordered their enchilada with asada and he was just as pleased with his meal. Our server (apologize for not remembering his name) was very friendly, happy and kept our chip basket filled and our soft drink glasses full. If we come back thru Tucson, we will come here for more tasty Mexican food!
