I have been to Centrico a few times now and it is always a great experience. The restaurant itself is pretty small as it is attached to the Hotel San Carlos but I don't think I have ever waited more than 30 minutes to be seated which is great. My go-to dish is the green chilaquiles with carne asada, so good! The pricing is decent for downtown and they have a lot of options.

What a revelation!!!! The servers are top-notch. The queso fundido, especially with the mushrooms, is out of this world. But the coup de grace is the churros! A last minute whim that has ruined me for all other churros. . . Cinnamon, sugar, caramel crispiness dipped in a decadent Mexican Chocolate. Authentic and flavorful cocktails with the finest ingredients. I live 23 miles away!!!! What do I do now? I guess I'll just have to go the distance. They sure have!

What a neat little bar/restaurant tucked inside an old hotel. It was easy to find and the entrance is through the hotel, in case you're looking for a door on the outside. I was in for a quick lunch and ordered a margarita and some shrimp tacos. The margarita was good but a bit small. The shrimp tacos were delicious and also small, but they gave you 4 of them which was nice. They had a nice flavor! The place is small, so I wouldn't plan on going with a large group. But for a quick lunch at the bar, I was in and out in no time. And with tacos in my belly!

All around wonderful experience for dinner. Arrived around 6pm and the place was reasonably busy. We ordered a Jamaica Margarita and a Papago Orange Blossom. Both drinks were really good! For the food we ordered the Birria Beef Enchiladas and Chile Verde. The food tasted authentic and made with expertise. The Chile Verde came with fresh tortillas. The service was prompt and more than kind! Centrico is walking distance from my place so I will be returning. The views are also incredible, you can watch the hustle and bustle of the city.

Cozy Mexican restaurant and bar just blocks from AZU and a ton of hotels. They had incredible customer service, the hostess and Shiloh were friendly and helpful. The food was really good and the michelada was one of the best I've had in a while. My friend got the jamaica margarita and she said it was great. Music was also good! There's a patio too but we are inside.

Service was friendly and helpful in deciding what to order! Very attentive bartenders! Thanks Shiloh! The guacamole is maybe the best I've ever had, the chili verde was spicy and flavorful! Tortillas were fresh and chopped salad came with a sprinkle of chorizo that brought it! Fun vibe and music!

Located in the San Carlos Hotel this quaint taco shop is filled with charm and amazing food. We were greeted and sat by the owner. Our waiter suggested all of his favorites and was very knowledgeable with the menu. We started out with guacamole and chips. Be careful as this has a kick. You can see all of the fresh ingredients. Food came out quickly. Everything was on point. Don't pass up this great place with big charm am and great atmosphere.

So because I absolutely love this place, I've been meaning to try their brunch menu and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I was rushing to get there, their hours are from 12 to 2pm, got there around 1:15pm. The host greeted us and gave us a choice of seating indoor or outdoor. It was a beautiful sunny day so we opted to go outdoors. I ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce, added an egg (over-hard) and carne asada. My bf got "el Mexicano" which was eggs, beans, flour tortilla & some chorizo with potatoes. His dish was very tasty, the chorizo was a bit greasy BUT nonetheless flavorful. My dish was absolute perfection, the carne asada had this lime flavor as if it was marinated in something, omg to die for!!!!! It had some onions, queso fresco and crema. Not only was it super delish but it tasted authentic which a lot of Mexican places fail to do. I had a grapefruit jarrito and some chips and salsa as well. This was such an amazing brunch, I had a smile the entire time. The portions were generous and so I think that it's worth every penny, definitely coming back for brunch again and again!

Came in here for dinner to have some delicious Margaritas and Mexican food. It's a small restaurant located at the corner of the Hotel San Carlos. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We got the Birria Beef Enchiladas $17 for two, which is slow braised beef short rib, the Tacos de Asada $13 which comes in 4 street tacos, the guacamole $12, the salsa $3 and the cinnamon dusted churros. The guacamole was very good but it was very small portioned. The beef enchiladas was hearty and good. The tacos had a lot of great flavors. The cinnamon dusted churros were piping hot, filled with deliciousness and has a side of chocolate dipping sauce. They're going to ask if you want a side of rice and beans for $5. I suggest you pass because it comes in a small bowl and wasn't very good. We got drinks, the Sandia Marguerita which was muddled watermelon and fresh sours. It was very delicious and refreshing. We got it frozen for an extra two dollars $14. It came in a small glass but boy was it good. Overall, it's a high end, good quality Mexican Food restaurant. It has amazing drinks and great customer service. Seating is limited.
