Q: My first time here for lunch. I went with 2 other friends. What we had: Appetizer: artichoke and spinach dip with tortilla chips Lunch: fish and chips, and their special of the day meatballs. We got our appetizer and it was good. The fish and chips were a little on the greasy side, but what do you expect for fried fish and french fries. The meatballs... that's another story. They used a spice in it that had a very strong licorice taste (I think the spice is called anise). There were 4 meatballs for $7.95. I took a small bite off of one and almost gagged. I could not handle the licorice taste. I asked if I can substitute it for fish and chips and make it "to go" as we were running out of time. When the check came, they did not take the meatballs off and asked the waitress about it. Come to find out that the OWNER said "JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE IT, I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR IT!". I WAS SHOCKED!!!! I told her, then I didn't want the fish and chips. I only ordered a higher price item as not to walk out with only a $30 bill. We ended up leaving paying $46, $8.00 for the meatballs that I only had 1 bite out of! It's a good thing I ate my share of the artichoke dip or I would have STARVED! I WILL NEVER BE COMING BACK HERE AGAIN!!!!!

Q: The service was great. New to the neighborhood. Clean, nice decor. The food was ok but not interesting. The salmon was pretty good but needed more flavor. The veggies consisted of carrots and spinach lightly sauteed. They were the best part of the dish. The grilled potatoes were bland. We also tried the chicken parmegana and found it boring. The sauce was ordinary. The portion size was quite large. The have live music on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Q: I have been here twice. The first time was fine and the food was good. There were not many guests so the service was quick. Based on the first time I would recommend this place to everyone. The second time I went was not good at all. It was busy but not all the tables were full. It took 25 minutes to get chips and dip and we had to ask another waitress to remind our waiter. It took a total of 45 minutes to get our sandwiches. My sandwich was very good tasting but my wife's sandwich was completely black, not brown but black. It was inedible. Needless to say; the wait was bad and then the food, and even though the waiter was nice, he spent a lot of time just standing at the kitchen and not taking care of his tables. We were not the only table waiting so there was obviously a problem in the kitchen and people were upset. I am not sure if I will try it again but maybe they will get another chance. On the positive side, when we showed the waiter the sandwich, which he had to see when he brought it to our table, they did not charge us for anything. At least I have a free meal but we had to go somewhere else to get my wife something. She didn't like my sandwich.

Q: I lived in Tucson for 16 wonderful years, leaving with my three children, new husband and two stepchildren in 2002 for New York. New York is wonderful in many ways, but truly is lacking in true authentic Mexican food. And there is no fooling my family. So when I come back to Arizona to visit my family here, the first thing I want is authentic Mexican food. Since my parents and sister live in Apache Junction, we find our fix at Los Tacos. The place is immaculately clean, the staff courteous and genuinely kind. I think we'd have a longer conversation if I spoke Spanish but their English is just fine. The food is cooked to order, the tortillas homemade. There is a salsa bar with salsa fresca, roasted hot peppers, spiced carrots, salsa verde and a nice chipolte salsa. I am not sure if they serve coffee as they are always so kind to let me bring in my morning addiction, Starbucks Vente. My son, who came on this trip with me, wakes each morning to walk the two miles to Starbucks and then a few steps more to Los Tacos. What a wonderful way to start the day. I can't recommend them high enough. Definitely worth the four mile walk each morning.
