Bison Meatloaf is on point. For dessert,the churros are rich and delicious. Straight up, anything you get here is going to be delicious, but it'll cost you a bit. And it is worth every cent.
Marisa LownApril 30, 2017What can't I say about this place?! All locally sourced, organic when possible ... great service too! I had the salmon tostada and churros are a must for dessert!
Emt SujFebruary 9, 2015Slow food, tastefully prepared & Latin cuisine inspiration @ popular prices. It's all good. The Arizona white Viognier from pillsbiry wine has a surprise coconut finish. We liked everything we tried
Michelle SMay 19, 2019Tacos were delicious! I love cauliflower tacos and these were done well although they were a touch oily. One of the top 2 restaurants I've eaten at in Flagstaff.
Snooty WaiterApril 9, 2013Perfectly balanced strong prickly pear margaritas. With great prickly pear flavor. Finish your fantastic dinner with the chocolate chile cake, rich, moist chocolate cake with a lingering chile burn.
Try the Carne Asada Con Huevos - Substituted crispy plantains for rice and beans; rest of plate was Carne asada, over medium eggs, avocado, salsa and shredded cabbage. Yum. (via @Foodspotting)
Bev LoewenApril 13, 2017The Relleno Vegetales was recommended by our server Maryanne. Delicious flavour. My husband had the fish tacos, also excellent.
Phoenix New TimesJune 25, 2013Try not to fill up the pork belly tacos or the ropa vieja - you'll need room for the Spiced Venezuelan Chocolate Cake, a luxurious little treat that blends sweetness & heat in perfect proportion. Read more
Nicole AfuapeOctober 7, 2017Catfish tacos were amazing- perfectly crisp. Churros not so much- slightly over cooked and a bit greasy. Excellent tequila selection, bartender was awesome.
Marty O.January 1, 2017Great choices through the menu. Green salsa is excellent. Good beer selection
JackiMay 12, 2013Usually I regret trying fish tacos. This is the first time I've been truly overjoyed at them. Get the fish tacos and a side of the grits. You're welcome.
Serena SerassioAugust 18, 2015Best breakfast in Flagstaff. I'm not a fan of breakfast foods and crave the Migas, grits and side of bacon.
Anthony DuranSeptember 3, 2016Friendly staff, a great atmosphere, a great selection of drinks and delicious food and desserts!
LeAnne Good For SpooningJune 14, 2011The gazpacho of locally sourced veggies and the chocolate cake are the stars of the menu. Skip the risotto and the swordfish - the fish was over cooked and the risotto under cooked. Cool vibe and ni
Emily RichMay 8, 2014Carne Asada tacos are fabulous with a margarita. Friendly face at the door, wonderful mixed drinks. This place is wonderful!
Nikita SuJuly 4, 2012service was awesome. Nice to spend a quite afternoon here. Pork belly taco was good but not impressive. Chicken Tortilla soup was good. I love their tableware a lot. :)
Szabolcs BokonyiJune 22, 2016Very delicious food, small soups, huge main dish portions. Try the Cubano.- Try the Crispy Plantain Chips - I always ask to substitute these for the fries. Deliciously crispy and great with the aioli.
Taylor LaheyFebruary 28, 2015Churros with chocolate, mezcal margars, and the chicken dishes were all dope. Stoked about this place overall.
Emma HodMay 14, 2014as others have said... Pork tacos are amazing!!! also the vegetable relleno. And yes, the jalapeno margaritas!
You must try the smoked salmon temales for brunch if they have it as a special. Superb!
Tye BeneventiOctober 21, 2012Time your visit for happy hour, the $2 fish tacos are spectacular and the $3.50 jalapeño margaritas never fail to please!
Al KrummMay 3, 2013Happy hour is a zoo... At least it is tonight. They could use a little more help behind the bar. The tender is keeping up best she can.
JeffMarch 13, 2013Great food for pretty sweet prices. THEY ALSO HAVE LEFT HAND BREWERY'S MILK STOUT ON TAP.
Did the chef or kitchen change?? I always get the Mexican brunch w lots of avocado w my eggs but this time it came w out and they argued the menu does not come w it....
Sara GrizzleDecember 7, 2014Soup is delicious! I had the lobster bisque and my husband had chicken tortilla soup.
Dave LarsenJune 14, 2015Plantains are yummy, especially the sauce, and in happy hour prices every day.
Robert AnthonyJune 19, 2016No problem with Caucasians, but no Latinos on staff at this Latin cafe. Should be called New Age instead. Fresh ingredients but made-up dishes with no culinary genius behind them.
Carolina MirandaApril 18, 2011Fish tacos are tender, crisp deliciousness. Save room for piping hot made-to-order churros for dessert - they disintegrate on the tongue.
Great happy hour! Fish tacos and sliders are the best!!!
some of the best margaritas in town and a bargain at happy hour! oh and the fish tacos are a must too!
- The temales r goood while they r hot then dry out when they cool. Sooo eat them hot :)
- Try the house margarita. All ingrediants are made/mixed in house.
Try the Cubano - The only thing Alice Ferris ever eats at Criollo. So unlike her to be so predictable.
- Try the Kettle One Dirty Martini - Pretty good, but I wish they kept a better selection of vodkas here.

"Chicken tenderloin dinner is to die for. Not literally but figuratively. Country veggies are always a plus. Yum yum. One of my favorite spots."
