This place was our saving grace while visiting AZ from CA. The champurrado was perfect, the tacos de pastor, asada y chorizo were perfect and the salsa was good too.
Love It always go there when I'm craving an escamocha which is mixed fruit with whip cream,lechera, granola. Also the menu is pretty big with fresh water like mango water or piña. I recommend it
