text: Best Mexican food in the East Valley I hate to call it Mexican food because that will probably make you think of the typical burritos and tacos you get at every other chain restaurant BORING The ownerchef really puts an exotic twist on many of the dishes My favorite is the Shrimp Mazatlan which is a beautiful mix of Jumbo shrimp and Pineapple skewered over a bed of rice Ingredients are always fresh the owner has his own garden behind the restaurant nBeen enjoying their menu since when they were in a little strip mall Even back then their popularity caused crowds standing in the parking lot waiting to get a seat Their new location is really classy so you can dress up of a nice dinner But you will still be in a crowd outside waiting for your seat Believe me it is one of the few restaurants in the East Valley that is worth the wait
