best family owned restaurant in town

by enderlepat

We have been eating there for years. Best chicken enchildas in the country.Always greeted warming

and service is great. The person who said that the food was made by white people couldnt be more

wrong. They are a wonderful Hispanic family who make everything from scratch.

• Pros: Great burritos nhot too hot.
• Cons: none

no.

It's not that you didn't try. You sort of did. You cater to families and have a seemingly devout clientele. That's what is really troubling. That there could be that many people who can eat what you provide. I won't go into thorough details; however, I will try to convey a worldly feeling I got from you. Ready? Here it goes: White people making Mexican food from really large cans. Thanks for trying.

Don't eat here.

• Pros: Leaving, Still alive (for now)
• Cons: Deciding to try this one out, trying this one out

Green chili is...

FABULOUS!!! But so is their opening salsa. Your first impression is WOW. Great parking, even though it looked full they have overflow that is well marked so don't let the small front parking sway you. Inside is relaxed and a bit noisy but very nice. Then you get to the food, which made this Arizona girl very happy. The portions are very generous for the reasonable pricing but more importantly - it is spicy but not just mixed with jalapeno to make it hot. They really know that flavorful is the best. The heat hits where it is supposed to on their hotter items a nice slow build up while enjoying the savory experiance of the dish. UMMMMM. Alamos Verde is now on my "I will return" list. Even my 'wussy' no-heat friend liked the Mondongo Dinner. What a 'hidden' treasure. And if this is a hole in the wall it is only because it is not on a "main" street and not due to the site itself, in my opinion. Thank you Martinez family and keep up the GREAT work.

• Pros: Food, Service, Price
• Cons: Location
