I FIRST TRIED THEIR TACOS. THEY ARE THE SMALL ONES YOU FIND IN MEXICO AND WERE GOOD EXCEPT THE MEAT WAS OVERCOOKED. THE FRUIT SALAD WAS THE BEST I EVER HAD ANYWHERE AND THE STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM WAS TO DIE FOR. I THINK THEY BOTH ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
This is the place we have measured others for 10 years regarding getting good bang for the buck! Tasty, value, good service, excellent maggies (with decent booze in them), good chips/salsa. Try the Pizza Nortenia - this has made many believers with people we have taken there. For a light, excelle...

It had been there for a very long time. They sold the business, kept the cook,the menu and pretty much the whole staff and became A Taste of Mexico. A short time later they reopened as Hal O Peno's. Food is excellent, our favorite place.
I went here a couple years ago, I live down the block from it as well, I haven't been in a while, just because I havent had the chance but it was great. I just wanted to say to [email protected], its been there for quite some time, I have lived here since 98, and its been there prob since then. So i...
ive been going there for years. over the last year the prices have gone up and the quality down. the new owner, jose, has his wife working as a hostess. she speaks no english and never smiles. god forbid if there is a complaint how would she be able to handle it? she can't speak to the customers! th...
well to the person b4 me... hal's has been open for years... i should know my uncle owned it and its be open sense i was born... IN 1989... WHEN MY UNCLE OWNED IT IT WAS IN TOP SHAPE.. NOW ANOTHER DUMB GUY OWNS IT AND THE FOOD ISNT AS GREAT BUT STILL VERY GOOD... MY MOM STILL MANAGES IT TOO..
This is more of a response geared towards the comments made by Ms. Ashley. The resturant is good but I find it hard to believe you have gone to it for years. I live a block away from it, and I can assure you, it has not been there for more than a year. Otherwise the food is great. Having lived in So...

This is the best Mexican food I have ever tasted, I could eat their salsa by the pitchers. They are AWESOME!
This has been a restaurant that me and my family have been going to for years. This is definately the best mexican food restaurant in Arizona. I always have nothing but good things to say about Hal O Penos!!! Everyone should go here. Also they have a fantastic catering service as well.
Hope to se...
Bean Burrito is FLAVORLESS.
Probably 10% beans and 80% LARD.
Absolutely yucky.
Well for living in missouiri and having to drive many miles to get there good food I would say its worth it
Would it kill them to wash their hands before molesting every object that goes into a burrito?
We love this place! We've been eating here for ten years, through three owners. Now that the chef owns it, Hal-O-Peno's is the best it has ever been and the food is still the same wonderful stuff. Don't miss the fundido style chimis or the enchiladas. All the sauces are great and their salsa can...
So super yummy. I love going to Ajo Al's when I am in town. I totally crave the queso dip, a must try!
The whole beans are surprisingly better than I thought when they were recommended to me by the waitress.
This retaurant is the cleanest and the best tasting Mexican fast food. It tastes home made, and I am very picky about Mexican food, especially because I am of Mexican descent. I know what home made should taste like. Good value too.
I wouldn't eat it if it was Free!!
The food is outstanding!! Mexican food connoisseurs and beginners alike will love this place!! You haven't had pizza until you've had the CHICKEN NORTENA!!!!!!!!!
We have always had absolutely fabulous service at every Ajo Al's we've been to. That is the main thing that brings us back - and the great food too.
I agree with some of what others have said. I am a regular weekly customer of Ajo Al's and I love the food. The service at 16th St and Camelback needs work. What is sad is that they don't recognize you even though you go there at least once a week. I love the ambiance and service at the Peoria st...
i ordered one of the combos with rice and i started eating rice and i crunched down on some glass. it broke all to pieces in my mouth, it didnt cut me and i got the glass out. i told the waitress and she saw the glass and gave me my meal free. not that i ate anymore. the food was great besides that ...
