Aunt Chilada's

We celebrated my dad’s retirement party at Cheladas, and it couldn’t have been a better choice! The location is perfect—it’s tucked away just enough to feel relaxed and not overcrowded by neighboring businesses. From the moment you walk in, the colorful décor creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that truly captures the spirit of a great Mexican restaurant. Now for the best part—the food! The taquito selection was easily my favorite. The chicken taquitos were packed with flavor, and the chimichangas were absolutely delicious. Having spent time working in kitchens, I know it’s easy for restaurants to rely on frozen, pre-made food. That definitely wasn’t the case here. Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and prepared with care, which made every bite even more enjoyable. The only thing I regret is not ordering one of their beers from the bar—but that just gives me the perfect excuse to come back! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, gathering with family, or simply craving authentic, fresh Mexican food, I highly recommend Cheladas. We had an amazing experience, and I’ll definitely be returning.

Finally tried this place for the first time last week after driving by the freeway sign for years. Just happened to be in the area after running a work errand. Service was great, loved the cozy atmosphere and the food was amazing! The salsa was a little different than what I expected; given that they use black olives as part of their recipe. But paired with their mix of air fried and regular chips it was delicious! I ordered a red beef tamale, a bean tostada, and a side of guac, rice and beans for my combo and it was fantastic! Portion sizes were great too. Its a hidden gem for sure, highly recommend Aunt Chilada's! Can't wait to return soon! 😁🥰

We held my best friend’s baby shower here and it was perfect! Aunt Chilada’s is so responsive and reasonably priced! The food is amazing and they are flexible, allowing for bringing some outside food which is sometimes hard to find in a venue! We had a pickle themed party and did a brining station and they let me bring in some veggies for the guests to brine! They also allowed us to bring a cake! Our server Walter was so attentive and handled our group of 40 on his own with ease and patience. I highly recommend Aunt Chiladas for any party hosting!

Aunt Chilada's is a hidden gem in Phoenix! The setting alone is worth the visit — tucked up against the mountain with a fun, rustic outdoor patio that makes for a great atmosphere, especially in the evening. The Mexican food is delicious and full of flavor, with generous portions and that classic, comforting feel you want from good Southwestern cuisine. The chips and salsa were a great start, and the margaritas hit the spot after a day out and about. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. It's a fun, memorable spot that feels like a true Arizona experience — highly recommend if you're in the Phoenix area!

I was very excited to go to this restaurant. The atmosphere is good the food uuugh I was expecting better food quality since there’s always so many people here honestly. Anyways my kids cheeseburger were undercooked my son got food poisoning from eating the burger. he ate it all and it was bright pink in the middle and he finished it all he probably thought it was normal and I never checked his food until my other son complain about the meat being too red inside. sadly we ended up in the children’s hospital with a very bad abdominal he’s getting checked right now. Hope nothing serious I had the fish tacos and both of them had pieces of plastic like every bite I had I chew on some plastic 😕😕 idk what was that plastic but my fish tacos had plastic traces. The two ladies that served were rude unprofessional and nothing friendly to be working there they both had very sour faces ..

Great meal on a recent Friday night. They had the outdoor bar open and a band was playing also. The flour chips are addicting and the chicken enchilada and taco combo was terrific. Nice bartender too.

Cute place with great food and such nice people working. Cheese enchilada, green corn tamale, shrimp taco and seafood quesadilla, all so good and so was the pina colada
