Presidio

This place makes the best chilaquiles in town, and even though they have them in their breakfast menu they’re always so nice to make them anytime I walk in, even if they’re serving lunch or dinner. So Awesome! If you want some really delicious and authentic Mexican food this is the place you need to be at! Thanks again for great service and the best chilaquiles.

The food and service was exceptional! We are from El Paso, TX and since we’re so close to the border, we have access to delicious, authentic Mexican food. This place felt like home. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Disappointed. My coffee was luke warm and turned cold quickly. I requested for a hot one and that one was not hot either. I had to request again. They were nice though and brought me a hot coffee, finally. Food was really good, no complaints there. Major disappointment was at the dessert. It was really small, you could eat it all in 3 – 4 bites, literally. Snickers bar would have been better. They gave us a $ 1.25 discount for dessert being small, without us asking or complaining. That was nice, but they should have told us earlier. I wouldn’t have got it.

Came here for lunch yesterday and all I can say is wow. The parking is in the back of the building and I recommend entering from 5^th ave. There is a little door that says «mexican food».
The place is very comfortable on the inside and the AC was perfect for coming in from the 110 degree day.
The food was excellent and was 5 stars by itself. What really earned the 5 stars was the staff. The gentleman who took our order was pleasant and answered my questions thoughtfully. After we ordered we sat down and a nice woman brought our food, drinks and utensils to the table. She was thoughtful and prompt. We didn’t have to go up to the counter and get our food!
This restaurant is doing it folks.

Formerly Paloma, this place has completely reconstructed the menu as well as the presentation. Very friendly staff, the gentleman at the counter was very enthusiastic and helpful in my selection. I had a few of their tacos, the asada, the carnitas, the pastor and the cochinita pibil and I have to say all were good, but the cochinita pibil was some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Tender, moist and with a hint of pineapple as I expected with the pastor, in any case, I was satisfied thoroughly. Would definitely be back to try a few other menu items.

Came here with a large work group after a volunteering function and we had the most amazing lunch!
Eating healthy for my upcoming wedding, I went with what I believe was the only salad on the menu. Everyone knows that you don’t order salads at Mexican restaurants. The real flavor is typically in the cheesiest and greasiest dishes… :)
It’s be an understatement to say I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and flavorful this salad was! The dressing had a nice but not overpowering cilantro flavor, the fajita style peppers added a zesty greasy flavor (but without all those calories), and the shrimp I ordered a top the salad was grilled to perfection.
Service was great considering the size of the group. Overall, zero complaints in terms of service and food quality.
Casual and clean atmosphere, would definitely return for that scrumptious salad!

This place is AMAZING. Ordered the huevos rancheros and it was sooooo delicious!!! The portions were very generous and it was authentic mexican. Staff was super friendly (Pearla was our server). She was the best! This place has only been open for 5 months and we hope it sticks around. We will be back!!!

gourmet Mexican food. everything was awesome. the chips were hot and the green and red salsas were both yummy. chile relleno was one of the best I’ve ever had. beans and rice were also fantastic.
the place is in a strip mall, but inside the atmosphere is nice. the service is fantastic, the waiter was very nice.

We were rather surprised when our group of 8 arrived and the place was not packed because of their 4−½ star rating. It did get busier as noon rolled around. Definitely a gem hidden in a strip mall. Within reason they will modify many of their dishes. Very good service. We had 8 different dishes and everybody loved what they ate. I had trouble finishing my red chicken enchilada entrée as the portions were generous. We all found parking in front but there is a larger lot out back too.

Best Mexican food spot I recently found via Instagram, and I recommend it.
They have great service, the taste of the food is authentic.
So far I’ve tried their Chilaquiles, tamales and their rice and beans are delicious!
I can’t wait to go back and try the chiles rellenos!

First meal since we got into AZ and what a great start. Thinking of moving here in a couple of months and have Presidio locked into as our go-​to for Chilaquiles already. Staff is super nice, so cordial and friendly – great customer service. Only complaint is for the pancakes which were a little overcooked (that’s where one star was loss – we’re hoping it was just a fluke because it was such a nice place with nice people) definitely a place we’d recommend on the chilaquiles and staff alone.

Best Mexican restaurant in Phoenix. Clean, fresh and true to itself. Was really impressed with the quality and care they put into every dish. Here are all the things it’s not; Not overly fancy, not expensive, not a fusion, not cutting corners. They get the essentials right, great chili sauce, great beans, great rice and the rest follows. I only hope it’s not too hard to get into once everyone starts to hear about this place.

This is a random place off of Thomas across the street from St. Joe hospital. We got an orange juice, cappuccino, bunelos, and breakfast tacos! DELICIOUS!
The chorizo on the tacos was cooked just right flavorful! The eggs cooked medium well came out soooo good and the salsa and cojita cheese topped it off! We we definitely come again!!! Try it

My wife and I ate breakfast here on a Saturday morning and were favorably impressed. Based on the Unilocal reviews we expected that we might find a waiting line when we arrived. To our benefit we were the only ones in the restaurant. We both had the Huevos Rancheros which was two eggs on crisp fried tortillas smothered with a roasted red salsa, refried beans, and pappas fritas con chorizo. $ 10.95 seemed like a reasonable rice to us. The coffee was HOT which is how I want it to be served. The service was good but their system was never stressed as there was only one other customer while we were there.
My recommendation is visit this place for breakfast before it gets discovered and a waiting line develops.

I’m suspect of at least one of those 1 star reviews… person has just this 1 review and it’s one star?
Anyway, short review: I went there today for lunch and this place has it all, ambiance, great food, pleasant and fast service. I got 3 tacos and they were larger than I expected, in a good way. The fish was outstanding as well as the chorizo taco (!). You don’t see those often. The chips were hot just like I like ‘em. They provided two dipping sauces for the chips that seem to reflect the current, modern trend of being more like hot sauces than salsas. To each their own, but I would loved to have had something like Via DeLosantos’ combo of a slightly chunky salsa with a hot sauce.
Nonetheless, this place has the mojo and 5 star food. I’ll be back!

Decided on Presidio after seeing the positive reviews & «hot and upcoming» status. And this place delivered on all of it. I ordered guacamole as a starter and it was by far the best guac I’ve had in a long time. For lunch my friend and I ordered various street tacos and all of them were amazing. Fresh, light, great flavor… I highly recommend the carne asada or fish tacos.
Wait staff was friendly, place was small and cute. Will visit again before I leave Arizona.
This place is a must if you’re in the area.

went there when it first opened maybe all these wonderful reviews are for lunch cause dinner was horrible dries recooked pieces of chicken for chicken enchilada very little cheese and a a teaspoon of red sauce couldn’t eat it way to dry. The corn is very good tho but that is it. will not be going back. New times described the enchilda as ooey gooey with cheese… not on our dinner order. yuk

My daughter and I just went here and had a wonderful meal. The queso was very high quality, the sauces were yummy and spicy. The tortillas and chips were homemade and fresh. Perhaps the most winning aspect of our lunch was the incredible latte. The people here are sweet and entertaining. This is a very good Mexican restaurant that serves food that is a cut above from the regular.

I had been wanting to try this new local restaurant because all the reviews were great. We went on a weekday around 4 and we had the place completely to ourselves. I ordered one cochinita pibil taco and the carne asada torta. The cochinita was absolutely delicious! I loved it! Next time I will request that they put the sauce on the side because they were very generous with it and I didn’t think it needed it. The meat alone would be just as great. The torta was ok. I could only finish half of it. I don’t like mayo but this was a mixed mayo spread so I had thought it would be ok. The mayo flavor was still pretty overpowering so it just didn’t sit well with me. I’m sure if I had requested the torta without the spread, it would’ve been perfect.
We decided to have the buñuelos for dessert but they weren’t good. The customer service was fantastic and the food was great. I would recommend the cochinita tacos! Also, if you check in you get 10% off so that’s always nice!

No stars for this place. OK it made me place 1 :-(
I am a big foodie and previous food service director. when trying this place I did not find there hospitality to be welcoming no explanation of menu when. Stating it was our first time we found you on Unilocal :-(
Customer service was they never came to check on us we had to flag them down or ask for assistance. Remind you this is a small place should be no need to lack in this area.
I ordered menudo when it arrived there was no hominy in it only tripe and broth.
When I questioned this serve said it comes that way unless customer ask for corn. He never expressed that to me when I ordered. The eggs were burnt and portion small for 4 of us to eat was 70 $ not worth it at all.

I like this little place!
Most of the breakfast/​brunch places around are swamped and slow. The service here is friendly and quick. And the food is really really good. I recommend the presidio tacos for breakfast.
The prices are reasonable too. It’s clean and cute inside. Check it out! You won’t be disappointed

The chilaquiles were a slam dunk. Light, crisp chips with a generous spread of spicy green chile, cotija cheese, and crema, and two over-​easy eggs with runny yolk. They made for an incredible breakfast with a nice, hot cup of black coffee. The GF had the quesadilla which had an interesting red-​chile tortilla. It felt more like a large taco than a quesadilla, so don’t be disappointed if you’re expecting a gooey, cheesy mess. The quesadilla was delicious, but there was too little pork (which is a shame, because it was tasty!).
Love the family feel to the establishment and service was on point. Welcome to the neighborhood, Presidio!

This place was amazing, great food, awesome customer service. Additional parking in rear. I recommend 100% we will definitely be coming here often! I couldn’t believe they have only been open for a month, everything about this place was wonderful!

We stopped in today for lunch after reading the amazing reviews! The staff and cooks were so friendly and welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed a half order of the bean enchiladas with red sauce and a side of rice and beans and my husband had the enchilada and tamale plate with chicken enchiladas in green sauce and pork tamales with red sauce and a side of rice and beans. This place is legit and I can’t wait to come back and try other items on the menu!

Yummy! Frequent many of the fave Mexican places in the area Santisma. Most Wanted Taco shop and I can happily say that Presidio is right up there with the best.
Ordered the green enchilada (cheese) plate, the sauce was wonderfully flavorful with the right touch of heat and a definite must try. It tasted homemade and was wonderful. Haven’t had anything better anywhere else.
My wife and I will definitely be back to explore the other menu items.

Awesome service! My sister and I had a delicious flan for dessert. We will definitely come again soon.

My husband and I stopped in this morning and I had green and red chili con carne with 2 eggs and tortillas. My eggs were over cooked hard and dry
My red chili was awful the green was okay. The water is bad. I asked the owner if he had a filter on the soda machine that dispenses the water he said not yet
My plate cost me $ 16.
My taco to go was $ 2.5
My husbands plate $ 10.
One chili relleno $ 10.
The tortillas were hard and dry
If the food was good I would have no problem with these prices
The restaurant looks nice and they are nice
I wish them good luck
I will not return

Drove a ways to try this great new restaurant based on some friends’ reviews. I checked their Unilocal page and loved the photos and really loved the video. The food and service were fantastic, I can’t rave enough about my lunch. The menu is extensive but simple and they offer breakfast all day. The food was fresh, balanced, and bold flavored. Great job!

Do you like authentic Mexican food? Do you love amazing service? Do you like to eat? Do you like trying new spots?
Well then I suggest you get yourself over to Presidio!!! They are new, fantastic people and A-​mazing food. I’m so happy we stopped in. I wanted to treat my family to something new this Valentine’s day. I’m glad this was the place. Food is delicious. The people and service are spot on. It’s a small place so it’s got the family vibe. Give them your business, you won’t be disappointed!

First everyone is amazingly nice and helpful! My sister had the breakfast burrito and I had the huevos rancheros delicious! We started with the queso and that was AMAZING! We will definitely go back!

Family owned and operated authentic Mexican Food. It’s a breath of fresh air! I had the Chilaquiles and so did my Girlfriend. My buddy had the Breakfast Burrito. Everyone nearly licked the plate.
I would also recommend the Latte.
All ingredients fresh, all meals made from scratch. Check this place out and support this friendly family. Exceptional food and service.

This family run business uses their own original recipes to create everything from scratch. The red salsa is simply amazing. Nothing comes from a can. Their chips arrive fresh and warm, unsalted so that you can taste the true flavor of the salsas (healthier too).
I ordered a carne asada burrito and had it filled with rice, beans and guacamole. It arrived with a small side salad that had a delicious and light cilantro dressing. The burrito was probably the best I’ve ever had.
I’ll definitely be back to this restaurant.

It is my second time eating here and by far, it is one of my favorite Mexican food restaurants already. The food is actual recipes from traditional Mexican food. Hand Made tortillas with menudo just doesn’t get any better. So far my favorite dishes are the cochinita pibil and the chile verde. I totally recommend it; the people here are awesome.

It’s been a long time since I’ve taken the time to write a review, but for Presidio, I just had to. My husband, my two girls and I are wild about this place!
First, the décor is clean and modern, and the service is warm and friendly.
Our meals were all fresh, and had that perfect, genuine touch of heat that I find lacking in the heavy, 1980s-​style Mexi served up at Piñata and Mi Patio.
For dinner our first night there, my husband enjoyed a selection of tacos, and I had the green chile pork. It reminded me of that dish everyone’s Mexican uncle makes that causes the whole family to swoon. So good. They also accommodated the tastes of my girls, and made the youngest a simple bowl of beans with soft, hot tortillas on the side. My eldest had the taquitos, which were not greasy at all, despite being fried. Oh, and the homemade horchata is fantastic.
We went back for breakfast this week. My mother-​in-​law had the breakfast burrito, and my husband had the huevos rancheros, and both were perfect. I had the chilaquiles and OMG. *Hearts for Eyes* Again, they made some simple eggs, beans and tortillas for my girls, even though such a meal is not on the menu. Everyone devoured their meals.
We can’t wait to go back. I want to try EVERYTHING. Presidio is our family’s new favorite restaurant. They’re sure to get sick of seeing our faces.

Delicious food at presidio I order the green chile plate and hibiscus tea. It was the perfect blend of the tomatillo with the green chile and sour cream. The best i’ve had. I will definitely come back for more.

Tasty Tacos
Take one bite of the Al Pastor taco, and your taste buds will know that Presidio Cocina Mexicana has taco making down to a science. This no-​frills Phoenix restaurant serves their Al Pastor tacos with slow roasted pork on a corn tortilla with avocado, spicy tomatillo sauce, topped with onion and cilantro. These taco are tangy, spicy, creamy, crunchy a winning balance of flavor and texture.
All their entrees at Presidio are made from scratch. The Al Pastor and Carne Asada Tacos are delicious. Each meat had its own homemade unique and flavorful sauce. I cant wait to go back and try more of what Presidio has to offer.
In addition, to flavorful food Presidio makes Horchata and Jamaica daily. The Jamaica is refreshing and makes a great accompaniment to the meal.
If your looking for great tacos and friendly service, make your way to Presidio, you won’t be disappointed.

Stopped in for lunch and had the chili rellieno plate. The sauce is hot and had a nice sweetness. It was fantastic. New business, nice people.
