Pitic Restaurant and Lounge

A truly authentic and traditional Mexican restaurant! If you're looking for classic and simple Mexican food, then this is the place. Service is fantastic as well.

When you go in you are not seated if you look like you have no money or if you have children they will look at you if they are disgusted with them. Also the food price went up and the food went down tapaquena is a steak and 1inchelada with no lettuce and tomato or love in its food I used to go there my whole life but things change including the Damas that work there. Wait a minute there was one she was a red haired lady very nice and she was giving us everything we needed. I wish I knew her name but we had 4 of us they gave us 2little bowels of chips we ask for another and the heavy set woman told us we had to pay for the other chips I asked how much? She said $3.50 a small I was no thanks. She spoke with the red haired woman and her whole demeanor changed.. but we did not tip for the poor service we had, and food was cold and my to go cup with my water was $2 and they did not tell us that they just put on our bill.... I recommend highly recommend poncho on central baseline.or Guadala

This wasn't terrible by any means, but was a reminder/lesson that it's usually not the best idea to pick a place based on the Google description. My chum and I came here right off a plane from the nearby airport (literally a two-minute drive from the rental car garage) because we were pretty hungry, had a long drive ahead of us, and a quick perusal of the Google Maps of the nearby vicinity identified this as "award-winning Mexican." Call me skeptical. 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
