Was looking for a good Mexican restaurant in phoenix Arizona. Presidio Concina Mexicana had very good food and service

If your menu features Queso Fundido it's pretty hard to get anything less than 4 stars from me. Presidio Cocina Mexicana's (PCM) big menu features Queso Fundido and it was the perfect remedy to the Budget Rental Car nightmare that preceded my coming here. In fact, I'd left the airport so hungry and agitated that I might've asked Siri to find me the "nearest Queso Fundido"; it's difficult to say how I wound up choosing PCM. Like almost every Arizona eatery, PCM features a full array of alcohol. The bottles are lined up attractively but the food menu is of greater interest. Breakfast is served all day, but the menu goes far beyond mere breakfast. Meals run in the $15-$20 range and though I often prefer a cheap taqueria for Mexican fare, this - food, service, and ambiance - was a very nice experience. In addition to a shared Queso Fundido (excellent, accompanied by chips & salsa and/or tortillas) I ordered Chilaquiles and sampled the tacos. Chilaquiles were lovely in presentation, with half doused in red sauce and the other half doused in green, and benefited significantly from an added splash of salsa. Tacos? Equally enjoyable but I admit to having wandering eyes. A man at a nearby table ordered Fajitas and they looked so enticing that I had to inquire "as good as they look?" to which I received a positive affirmation. So next time it's the Fajitas and the Queso Fundido. Not too far from the Phoenix Airport, PCM is a great choice not only for those times when it takes forever to secure a rental car.

I absolutely loved this little Mexican spot. The tortilla chips came out warm and fresh with the salsa. The birria tacos were absolutely delicious. Might be the best Mexican rice I've ever had. Pollo and shrimp tacos were also fantastic. Service a little slow, but loved this spot.

Chips and guac is delicious. But oh emm gee the Birria tacos are delicious!! Must try!! So much flavor! Service is a little slow for a small place, but the food is worth the wait! Definitely try if you are in the area!!

Took my Dad for breakfast before he headed home. We had a terrific meal. The coffee here is amazing especially the Mexican mocha. I had the tres leches French toast which was incredible. My wife had the pozole which had the perfect spice. We look forward to coming back soon

Presidio serves delicious homemade Mexican cuisine. They specialize in Michoacán-inspired Mexican homestyle cooking. It's a family-owned and operated business that's run by the Nava family. The restaurant offers a menu of made-from-scratch dishes, most of them based on old family recipes refined by Nava's mother, Lucina, a native of the west-central Mexican state of Michoacán. On my first visit, my family and I tried their Cilantro Lime Salad w/ grilled chicken, Torta Ahogada w/ Cochinita Pibil, Chicken Enchiladas, and a refreshing cocktail whose name escapes me right now. The food from its presentation to taste was really flavorful and good. It was fresh and tasty. Also, the service was pretty good. We enjoyed our meal and had a good experience. Check them out when in Phoenix. Presidio worth a visit and more.

We stopped in here because my daughter really wanted some elotes. The food was great and made fresh. My daughter had a dish that eat fried tacos that had potatoes cooked inside and cheese topped with carne asada with rice, beans, and guacamole. My other daughter had a spicy carnitas torta with fries. I had the chicken burrito. We enjoyed our meal. I ordered the flan....,BABY the Flan is freaking the best!!!! Smooth and Please get the flan Customer service was great and the location is nice and clean. I appreciate how nice our server was very nice. They do offer outdoor seating. Parking is in front or back. If you park in the front be prepared to back into traffic.
