This easygoing, neighborhood eatery tucked into a Mesa strip mall features familiar Mexican street foods and meals served up counter style and all for under 10 bucks. Of the proteins that can be packed into or atop tostadas, sopes, quesadillas and the like, there are three to note: Juicy, slow-simmered
lengua (tongue), succulent pork, and tender pieces of chicken with crispy skin (in that order). For heartier meals, try the goat meat stew,
birria; the rustic
bistec ranchero; or the spicy (very spicy) and sweet
camarones a la diabla alongside rice and refried beans or piled into warm and flavorful flour tortillas dotted with char. Read our
