Mi Tesoro — Restaurant in Flagstaff

I do NOT understand how this place gets good reviews. Our experience was anything but!

This restaurant is far more impressed with itself than I am impressed with it.

We decided to try this place because I saw that they have huevos rancheros. But it turns out, they only serve breakfast 3 days a week – which seems like they’re selling themselves short.

And what they do have available on their menu is a rather limited selection.

Anyhow, my wife ordered the enchiladas; and I ordered the carnitas plate. Approximately 25 minutes after we ordered the food arrived, so COLD it wasn’t worth eating. The enchiladas literally felt like they came out of the fridge. The only thing warm was the carnitas. Even the rice and beans were less than lukewarm.

At that point, it wasn’t even worth arguing with someone about it. (And we sure weren’t going to sit there for another half an hour!) We just looked at each other, shook our heads, got a couple of to-go boxes, and left – never to return.

As some others have pointed out, it’s WAY more expensive than other, better Mexican places in town. I compared prices at two other restaurants in town that have a published menu on their site. This place was 40 – 50% higher.

So, if you want to spend more money on mediocre service and cold food, this is the place for you!

With all the good options for Mexican fare we have in Flag, give this...

My family and I stopped in a few weeks back. I didn't leave a review, but after having a bad expierience with ceviche in Sedona a week later, it prompted me to leave this review.

First off, I was born in Phoenix and have had LOTS of ceviche in my 40+ years of life and I can say this is the 2nd best tasting ceviche I have had. The flavors were perfect, the texture was perfect, and the cucumbers and mayo served alongside were amazing! After having a very "long john silvers" style ceviche in Sedona (lol), I will now drive the extra mileage to Mi Tesoro.

The lunch time service was great. We had lunch with my mom who is in her 70s and also born and raised in Phoenix. She loved that her dish was not overly spicy, but still had that amazing southwestern flavor she was looking for and raised on.

My fiance and I ordered the Mocajete and absolutely loved it! His margarita was perfectly made and actually tasted like tequila instead of just mixers.

Overall we just wanted to thank the staff there and the chefs, cooks, hostess, bartender etc for a really great lunch. My family has been experiencing some rough times, and the great lunch expierience that day really lifted our spirits. From our family to yours, Thank you for taking care of us and we can't wait for another trip and some more...

Five-Star Experience Thanks to Karen!

We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing waitress, Karen. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely delightful. She made us feel right at home and brought such a fun and friendly energy to the table that it honestly felt like we were being taken care of by a close friend.

One of the best parts? Karen expertly helped us pull off the ultimate move—sneaking the check before our friend could get to it. With a knowing smile and a well-timed nod, she played along perfectly and made it look effortless. It was such a small moment, but it meant a lot and made the whole night even more memorable.

And let’s not forget the food—absolutely amazing! Everything was delicious, perfectly prepared, and served hot and fresh. The kitchen clearly knows what they’re doing, and Karen’s recommendations were spot-on.

All in all, we left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Karen, thank you for being such a bright spot in our...
