Best Dominican Restaurant Glendale Near Me

Mexican Restaurant at the heart of Downtown Glendale! Dine-in & takeout available!

This was a great Mexican food place in nice location in downtown Glendale. The food quality is definitely better than average. I'd give it a 7 out of 10, which to me is a great score. The chips had that nice light crunchiness, and the salsas were tasty and spicy. We ordered a chicken burro and the pollo fundido. The burro was good and had a sauce in the chicken that brought it together well. The pollo fundido was well balanced with just the right amount of sour cream and cheese - not too much or too little. We also had birthday ice cream and it was a wonderfully rich vanilla, not the typical cheap stuff. The staff were very good and attentive. They worked together well and did a great job checking in with us. The restaurant was clean and had a bright interior of city paintings and Latin music. Definitely recommend a visit.

I’ve been to a lot of Mexican places growing up in Arizona and this place is by far one of the best! The food is exceptional. The chips and salsa are so good. The guac is TO DIE FOR. We come here as a couple and with our kids and it’s always a great experience. The employees are extremely nice and friendly! The restaurant is always clean. And the bathroom is also very clean (especially when I need to change one of my babies) I will be sad one day when I move out of Glendale that I won’t be able to come here anymore because it’s that good!! A must try. You will not be disappointed.

Came on a Monday for all day happy hour, wasn’t too packed and we got service pretty fast. Drinks were good and strong (if that’s your thing ). Chips and salsa were BOMB, we had to resist from eating too many so we wouldn’t get too full I got a chimichanga and my bf got a burrito, both had such good flavor and were decent sized. Service was great, food was great - we would definitely go again

In 2019, our Founders, Everardo Chavez, Ismael and Martha Rodriguez envisioned building a modern Mexican style restaurant that would make people and quality the main focus.

Ismael Rodriguez is originally from Guanajuato, Mexico. He has worked in multiple Mexican restaurants in Arizona for over 25 years. With so much experience, Ismael always had a dream. He hoped to utilize his skills and experiences to someday open a family owned restaurant and become a business owner with his wife, Martha Rodriguez.

In 2017, Martha's father, Juan Rodriguez, suddenly passed away and left many broken hearts. Martha vowed to her mother that if their dream of owning their own restaurant ever came true, it would be named in his honor.

This dream has been an ongoing goal for Ismael & Martha for over one decade, however, financially, they were not prepared to endure this journey on their own. To make matters worse, they also did not know what the business aspect consisted of and how to properly prepare. Martha & Ismael brought the idea of creating a partnership with their son-in-law, Everardo Chavez. They asked him,“¿Que te parace si nos convertimos en socios?” Immediately, Everardo responded excitedly,“¡Por supuesto! ¿¡Porqué no me lo preguntaron antes!?”

Everardo is a Glendale native, born and raised in the community. He is an Arizona State University graduate, Real Estate Broker, Private Lender, Investor, and overall Entrepreneur. Everardo would help bring the business know-how while Ismael & Martha manage the day to day. When Ismael & Martha introduced their vision to Everardo, he realized the passion, dedication, and huge potential. The opportunity of providing extraordinary authentic dishes to the community in a modern setting and bringing the spirit of family that Don Juan was known to provide to anyone that entered his home.
