"Vegan/ vegetarians - so many incredible choices. Stunning art to enjoy in the walls. Wonderful staff happy to chat about Mexican culture. Wow , we felt so lucky to find this place. The courtyard would be stunning on a warm evening. I'll be back next time I'm in Phoenix"

"The Chile en Nogada with chicken had an incredibly unique flavor. The horchata came with fruit and nuts, which was a pleasant twist. The overall environment was great. Really enjoyed the experience and plan on coming back."

"Sanna was super sweet! Prob the best Mexican food I have ever had. Not typical! The flavors were outstanding and I hope to make it back before we head out of town! (Side note: did not care for the incense burning when I walked in the door… made my stomach turn!) But get past that to the yummy food!!"

"This is an experience. The first impressions are a mix: dated parking lot, but giant statue outside of a equally giant door. Upon entering the restaurant, you are immediately hit with the strong smell of incense. I found this to be Urías and distracting, considering most restaurants, want you to be greeted by the smell of their own food, and not distracted by incense. We went on a Tuesday night, and it was not busy at all, and were seated right away. After the hard sell to purchase the overly expensive, and small in portion, guacamole, we just went with the chips and salsa. The salsa bar is one of the highlights. it is large, diverse, and eclectic. Some of the highlights include strawberry, sesame, and guacamole. We tried to sample a bit of each. Unfortunately, the containers for the salsa are very small, so you don’t get a try a whole lot of anything, maybe two or three chips per, salsa container. Beyond the salsa, we got the Horchata, which they claim to be phoenixes best. It was overly spicy, and filled 2/3 full of ice. I thought it was way too expensive for the amount received. We of course ordered the quesadillas. These are extremely large, and so we only ordered two for three of us. We ended up taking half of one of those home. They are delicious, and different than any other I have had before, and the fillings were quite good. Unfortunately, the quesadilla is dominated by the corn“tortilla”, with only a third of the dish made up of filling. I would like to give them more stars, but the distraction of Incense, the hard incessant sell on the guacamole, and the limited value of the dishes, dropped it from a four to a three star experience."

"Amazing authentic taco spot! We ordered take out so I can’t speak for the service but they were incredibly friendly and patient while deciding which tacos to get. The flavors made my taste buds dance! The silence while everyone enjoyed their tacos and the raving about the flavors and toppings afterwards — this is a place I will continually recommend to people! Side note: when ordering take out, the rice and beans come in an extremely small container (also the size of the salsa container)."
