Los Cuatro Nietos AZ — Restaurant in Phoenix

I stumbled upon this place yesterday, and I am glad I did, but I'm also super disappointed because it is about 45 minutes away from where I live. 😫 Any time I am in the area, I will be stopping in.

I had the quesabirria tacos. It came with a side of beans and Spanish rice. My meal was fantastic. Best quesabirria I've had in AZ so far. Beyond being impressed by the tacos, I was impressed by the Spanish rice. This was the first time I had Spanish rice in a restaurant, and felt like it actually had great flavor and texture. It was like having it homemade, authentic. I enjoyed the beans, too. Appreciating that they sprinkled an actual Mexican cheese on the beans. I believe it was a queso fresco, but I could be wrong.

I came between lunch and dinner, so it wasn't super busy at the time. I was fortunate to be there during that time because the owner came out, and we talked for about 30-45 minutes. If the food had been mediocre, I would have come back just because the owners are some of the nicest people I have ever met. His story about how he got involved in the restaurant business is one for the books. He puts his full attention on demonstrating to his customers that they are valued by this family business. He even writes thank you cards to customers ordering from food delivery services because he doesn't have the opportunity to thank them in person.

Their current 4.8 star rating comes as no surprise to me. When people put this level of attention into the customer experience, the food tastes even better.

Now I just need them to invest in a...

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would — and then I’d ask for seconds! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Los Cuatro Nietos is not just a restaurant, it’s a delicious little love letter hidden in Phoenix. A true gem so tucked away, you’d think it was trying to keep its magic all to itself. But lucky for us, we found it — and wow, what a treat!

From the moment we walked in, we were wrapped in warmth. The owners greeted us like long-lost friends, with smiles so sweet they could’ve been on the dessert menu. They took the time to walk us through the menu, recommending dishes with genuine care — not just to sell, but to make sure we had the best experience possible. Spoiler alert: they nailed it.

We were a group of six, and like a good potluck, we brought all kinds of flavors — different states, different tastes, picky eaters and foodies alike. And guess what? Every. Single. One. Of. Us. Loved. It. There wasn’t a crumb left behind — even the napkins looked nervous.

We tried a little bit of everything and it was like a flavor fiesta in our mouths. My only complaint? I didn’t have a second stomach. 😅

We were so blown away that we’ve already made a pact: every time we’re back in town for work, Los Cuatro Nietos is our mandatory pit stop. Forget the hotel check-in — first we eat, then we function!

Run, don’t walk. Bring your appetite and a few friends, because trust me — happiness is best shared, and so is that...

Coming to this restaurant was a homecoming for me! Coming back from Chicago after 7 years the experience of being able to relax and enjoy food that was so savory and delicious and a refreshing treat of a drink called Sunset was just the start of my beautiful day and the taste of what I was missing that is unique and you can’t get anywhere else especially when it comes to authentic Mexican food! I want to thank Albert and Elizabeth! The way they carry the community and their restaurant with so much pride and respect is just a joy all together! They make you feel so special and as if you are at home! Their staff works really hard to stay on top of your needs and making sure that you have the best experience! The fact that they support the community and hold high regards for family says everything when I watch how they interact with other customers! You are guaranteed a handshake/ hug greeting from the owners and if you thought no one remembered you Albert and Elizabeth sure do! I believe this is what makes this place so magical! This place is trending and so many from the industry love to come here to enjoy great food and the latest trends to make great memories with either with friends or family or business partners this is the place to be when you are in Phoenix Arizona! I enjoyed a special platter of Queso Birria Tacos, lemon pepper wings with the side of beans and rice!...
