Reviews
What makes it hurt even more is that I grew up coming to this restaurant. My parents used to bring me here, and it was always one of my favorite places. Sadly, it’s obvious that the care, cleanliness, and attention to food quality are no longer the same.
Freshness and food safety should never be ignored, and that’s exactly what it feels like is happening now. I truly hope management takes this seriously because no one should be getting sick from a place they trust to eat at.
Red & green Carne. 3 plate Tamale, enchilada and Tostada. Fresh salsa with chips that were light and crunchy.
VERY reasonably priced Just under $30 for two people including drinks.
We will be returning soon!!
I don’t know Phoenix well but I don’t get the impression this neighborhood is the best (though in its defense, I’m hard-pressed to think of too many areas near airports that are). It was actually a little difficult to locate Pitic and its entrance because it has two separate businesses – the darkest bar I’ve ever walked inside of and a regular sit-down restaurant – and only the bar has any signage identifying itself. One of the employees at the bar immediately realized we were in the wrong place and nobly pointed us in the right direction. Both sections have bars covering the windows as well, which I usually associate with gun stores in NJ, but it’s possible that’s just a common feature around here.
I ordered the chicken enchiladas (about $11), with beans and rice on the side (an extra $3 or $4 I think). I’ve been to my share of Mexican restaurants, and this is definitely the first time the rice and beans wasn’t automatically included as part of the meal. Interestingly, the waitress went out of her way to suggest/offer them as an add-on, so I certainly got the impression a lot of people opt for them, in which case why not make it officially part of the entrée? It’s a good thing I did though, because the one half of the enchiladas that I was able to coat with rice and beans was pretty tasty. Unfortunately, they ran out at that point and my first bite of the second half of the enchiladas was my last. They were SUPER dry and tasteless without those sides – pretty easy fix though.
Beyond the specific food issues, the service and price point were excellent. Our waitress was very, very nice, and the other female staffer came by a few times to helpfully remind us that some of our dishes were very hot. Everything came out within a couple of minutes and we both did a double-take when we saw how low the bill was.
You have a lot of options in the Phoenix area for generic Mexican. I’d probably go somewhere else where the food is a little tastier and the neighborhood a little less skuzzy.
