Great soft tacos, chips and two kinds of salsa, and super dish of nachos to start. Worth a trip back to try more menu items.

Yes, it can happen. It was like being on a Mexican sound stage at Universal Studios. I'm glad we did not have an earthquake! The food was average, the service was excellent, I would do it again.

Have been here many times. The Carne Asada is the best I have ever had. I pretty much have it every time. Lots of food for the money. Good margaritas too!

This is a very nice Mexican food restaurant. We ate there for the first time with friends yesterday evening. That was a Saturday. We arrived at about 5 pm and were taken to our table right away. Any later than about 5:30 on a weekend, I'd recommend reservations. By the time we left about about 6:45, the place was full!... More

First time, soggy pork quesadilla, initially I requested no sour cream and it came with sour cream and I had to wait 10 minutes before the waitress returned to our table so my other dinner mates were halfway done with their meal before I got my corrected order. Very nosey. A little on the pricey side and I expected more... More

The popularity of this restaurant says it all. Charming indoor and outdoor settings in authentic Mexican decor. Food is a step up from the usual Mexican fare. Very interesting dishes and drinks are awesome. We eat here every time we are in Arizona.

The menu is extensive with many unusual Mexican dishes. I had the Chicken Mole Sauce. Large portions, very tasty and hot when delivered. We chose to sit outside on the porch, a big mistake! Fly season must have been at the peak. We had to cover our dishes, the waitress never offered to move us inside. We finished what we... More

We love Mexican food and this was one of the best Mexican meals ever. When you walk in you are embraced by a Mexican ambience like no other. The service, cleanliness and food were excellent. If you like Mexican food, don't miss the chance to eat here.

Rancho do Tia Rosa is the place I take all my out of town guests. The food is very good. I suggest the fish tacos with a top shelf margarita. The atmosphere is one of the best anywhere. I have been there over 8 different times and have never been disappointed!
