First visit: Feb 2021
On the west side of Prescott Valley, in the Home Depot shopping center, sits an unassuming Mexican restaurant. Once inside, though, it feels definitely on the high end side of Mexican cuisine. Full bar and spacious seating makes for a comfortable night out even during a pandemic. We were seated right away to a booth and off we go. Service was great throughout the night.
We each settled on a glass of the house chardonnay (even though Mexican drafts were half off). They brought our chips (tri-colored), salsa, and also volunteered they offer a hotter one, which we leapt at. The standard chunky table sauce had very strong flavor, and was of mild to medium heat. Very good. The hotter one was of a greenish yellow color, filled with chiles, and indeed was very hot. Excellent flavor. Neither sauce had a traditional taste, which is a plus. True homemade recipe. In addition they brought out a soft bean dip with cheese and finely grated chorizo blended in. It too was superb. Off to a great start.
For cena, I had the Pollo Asado. Not too long after a sizzling plate (just the way we like it) of refried beans, Spanish rice, and one huge butterflied chicken breast (doused in a red sauce) was delivered with a steak knife to ensure bite sized portions could be had. And it was as delicious as it sounds. It's a lot of food, though if you just had the chicken and rice, it wouldn't have felt as heavy. The beans were great though! Good value considering the portion. Mrs. RJG settled on Combo #1 with a green corn tamale and black whole beans. She's something of a tamale aficionado and was still talking how great it was the next morning. She enjoyed the overall meal as much as I did.
Clearly a good place to dine if a resident of the area and looking for more than tacos y enchiladas. As of this writing, we did not find it listed in either Yelp or TripAdvisor. An oversite for certain.
