We serve authentic Mexican faire, with some great American choices as well.

From our homemade green chili to our local favorite "Queso Loco" Burrito, we have been a

local favorite as well as a favorite stop for out of town people travelling through town. We have been chosen one of Arizona Highways 25 best restaurants in the state, and also received numerous Best of Payson awards year after year. We also have a full service bar with 4 LCD flat screen TV's, and outdoor heated smoking patio where you can eat as well. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday 3-6, and with the addition of the NFL Sunday Ticket, we do beer specials during the games. We recently started a brand new menu, now featuring a lunch menu with 6 selections, all for only $6.49 each. The new menu also includes a Senior menu, with smaller portions for any time of the day, and a variety of new selections. Our service is quick and friendly, with many of our staff being employed here for many years. So if your just looking for a margarita on the patio, or a family dinner, or even a place to accomodate a large group for a function, we are the place!

It was great to see Shirley today! She will be 101 in a couple weeks, and a dear friend brought her out to see us, it's been about a year, it was great to catch up and she still enjoyed her favorite meal she's had the 25 years I have been there! Thank you to Bobbi and the team at Avista for taking great care of her, she's very happy there, born in 1925 she was born before Mt Rushmore was carved, she's been through a few wars, the roaring 20s, what a life she has seen! Happy early birthday!
