This is not a chain, and doesn't serve tomato sauce as their salsa, so if you think Macayo is awesome, don't bother making the order line longer here. This is authentic positively yummy mexican food--everything is fresh and made right at the restaurant. I haven't had one bad food order here--EVERYTHING is good! They also sell food in bulk to go (tortillas by the dozen, pints and quarts of beans, rice and red and green chili). Their flour tortillas are the best in town. The dining room has a lot to be desired, and their location is not in the best part of town, but I have never felt unsafe visiting Carolina's (and diningroom is usually full with firemen who obviously love the food as well).
The prices reflect the overhead and location of the restaurant--they are extremely reasonable. The combo plates range from $3.95 to $5.15, and are loaded with food! A dozen flour tortillas are just a little over $2, and they are HUGE!! I can't say enough wonderful things about this restaurant.

 Mango Shrimp Salad by HippieFur
Now for the grub... its fantastic, but not without a price... that aside, its worth it. Everything ive tried is fantastic... chef Silvana Salcido Esparza is an acclaimed mexican cuisine innovator.... there are traditional dishes like mole and posole, both well done, and some original twists, like the crab and chicken torta..... the dishes featuring oaxacan cheese like the relleno pablano come loaded in good, rich mexican cheese... portions are large, drinks are fantastic, like the margaritas... they have excellent fresh fruit margaritas too... I recommend a Michelada, which I was introduced to on a trip to cuernavaca.... Definately get the tableside guacamole... Its unreal... they add pomegranet which works very well for some reason...
This place is not only authentic, with a slight fusion twist... The food seems modern, yet traditional.... its hip, sheik, yes, its a bit pricey... but trust me.... If you wanna see real Phoenix, and do it first class, check this place out....
Guacamole, micheladas... margaritas..... pablano relleno, the red pepper soup.... the mango shrimp salad, and anything with crab and mexican cheese... but, its all good, in my humble opinion...

This is a darling little restaurant on 16th street. A great little cafe with excellent food. It has a wonderful atmosphere with funky art on the walls. The theme in the bar and bathroom features Mexican Wrestlers. Too cute.
The food makes this restaurant special. We went for brunch and had a seafood crepe that was out of this world. Their tortilla chips are more authentic mexican and the guacamole is nice with an unusual addition of dried sweet pomagranite.
The bar features a good selection of tequilas and the staff was very nice and attentive when I was there.
This place is unexpected in the neighborhood it is in. It is totally worth the trip.
Seafood Crepe for brunch along with a Mango Mimosa. Sweet!
Update: I eat here way too often now - At lunch I am likely to order their Shrimp Tacos with their house salad and an order of guac and chips. Their margaritas are good but strong. Expect a buzz.

The restaurant's motto is "Where you don't peso much!" This is true! You get inexpensive, delicious, hearty food along with a great selection of salsa's!
There are 3 of these little restaurant's, all in the West Valley. They're small and run by two brothers. The people who work here are wonderful and friendly.
The food...FABULOUS. They have a huge menu and all (yes, I said ALL) of it is delicious! A huge variety, from your authentic Mexican to your "americanized mexican". DON'T miss Caramba's!
I do NOT like Mexican food, but I eat here at LEAST once a week!
Stuffed Quesadilla - Huge totilla stuffed with meat, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole.
Pollo Fundido - Chicken burrito with a queso fundido sauce over it.
Torpedo's - SImilar to flauta's, but with flour tortilla's, topped with sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo.

This is a classic Mexican restaurant that has been around for years. The decor hasn't changed much since we started going there in the early 70's, but the food is great and the price is right.
Their specialty are chili rellenos, but enchiladas are good too. Leave a Comment Theme: MexicanPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Just west of 40th St. and E. Indian School

 Aunt Chilladas by elmasri
I had chicken enchilada with salad (thank goodness) and sangria (unfortunately, not very nice at all - if compared to the one I prepare). Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Baseline Road

On the border-Mexican Grill and Cantina.
First resterant I have been to in Phoenix. Excellent food, you are given a big bowl of nacho chips and salsa. (Little tip, don't finish them or you will be given another big bowl leaving no room for your dinner!)
I had an unusual Salmon dish. It was grilled with a sauce on top. Served with rice, veg and beans. Very nice.
Their description "From traditional dishes to grilled meat specialties" Hours 11am-10PM

My favorite restaurant is Macayo's. It is Sanoran Mexican food and it is the best i have had yet. it is well priced for the food, but their happy hour specials are a bit high priced when you are in Tempe. However you will find that macayo's is now a chain so you can find them all over the city.
Festive anytime you go!
Chicken Poblano. Shreddd chicken stuffed inside a huge breaded and fried Poblano chili. It is spicy and wonderful! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: The original Macayo's is downtown Phoenix on central avenue.

This resturant was part of a small strip mall. The inside was very colorful. The staff was great and the food was decent. I was surprised at how quick the food arrived at the table.
