El Arroyo Cantina Méxican Kitchen

We were a group of 18 for dinner Friday night. We waited 5 minutes for them to set up two large tables. The waitress took our drink orders setting up multiple separate checks. We got chips and salsa and our drinks. She then took our meal orders. We chose a fish, rice and bean plate, a fundito (melted cheese with tortillas and more chips and tortilla soup. We also tried shrimp fajitas and chicken taquitos. The fish was tasty, the shrimp from the tostada was tasty. The chicken taquitos a little overcooked. The fundito could have used some salsa or meat, I guess I could have requested meat. The service was great.

We stumbled upon a hidden gem in Sonora, CA El Arroyo. The Mexican food here is simply amazing! We didn't read any reviews before visiting, so we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area. It's definitely worth a visit! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My husband and I came here because we always wanted to sit by the cute little creek at night- Beautiful atmosphere outside! We waited awhile to be seated even though it was pretty slow. The food was quite delicious! They charge for chips and salsa, ok, whatever, but that’s for a tiny bowl of chips and literally a 1.5 ounce ramekin of salsa. (For reference, that’s about the size of a shot at a bar. We were still fine with that, until we were informed that any more than our teeny 1.5 ounce ration of salsa would be an additional charge Well, we considered it rent for the pretty scenery and asked for some Tapatio- But probably won’t be back.
