Two sisters opened Mechy's nearly 20 years ago with the recipes their mother taught them growing up in Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. Recipes that are made fresh daily from scratch. A completely family owned and operated restaurant, Mechy's has three generations of the Vasquez family cook in the kitchen.
We drive through Safford 4 or 5 times a year, I cannot imagine not stopping at Mechys to eat! They have the best red chili burritos & we love the bean & cheese ones as well. The staff is hit or miss & the wait time can vary but we are crazy about the food. Just tried the chicken tacos.

The last 5 times I've eaten at this place, they have gotten my order totally wrong. Today I stopped in at the drive through and ordered 6 breakfast burritos. After waiting for 30 minutes, the kid at the window hands me a bag with 3 burritos in it. I told him I ordered 6 burritos, he told me I could wait while the made the other 3. No apology, no hustle, no nothing. I will not be spending my money at Mechys any more.

I was in town on a work trip and wanted some good, authentic Mexican for breakfast. They were open early and I pulled up to the drive thru. The staff were very friendly and cheerful. I ordered the tamales rojos and they were great. I wish I had time to go back and try more.
I cannot understand why this place is not rated higher. I would encourage anyone to give it a shot.

I ordered the flauta platter expecting crispy chicken flautas. Instead, I was faced with four dry crunchy taquitos. Three were dressed with cheese and the fourth just sitting on top like it was last second put in. It was very lackluster. The guacamole had no seasoning with only a little spice to offer. I will now go back to only ordering the only thing they can’t mess up, a chicken quesadilla.

I was there for lunch today and I ordered a quesadilla and I asked for Sauce (hot sauce) and the waitress said they don't have any hot sauces. What??? I am shocked that a Mexican restaurant doesn't have any sauces. I will not be going to this restaurant or doing take outs again as I'm disappointed. Service was not that good either.

Not too busy at lunch, waiting time was less than 10 min. I was 3rd in line when I drove up, and within 2 min a waitress walked up to take my order. She was polite and cheerful. And my order was ready the moment it was my turn at the driveip window. So I give 5 stars on the service.
I ordered a carne asada taco, nachos super without sour cream, and a large horchata. Unfortunately they were out of horchata, so I can't comment on that, except to say she was very apologetic about it, and I find so few Mexican restaurants that serve it, so Im going back if only to try it.
The taco was good. There

We went there today for breakfast. In my opinion, the menudo was ok, not great. I ordered a side tostada that tasted 100% Taco Bell - here's the most important thing that those that are thinking about "eating in" at Mechey's should consider.. think twice, disappointing is a nice word to use.. Mechy's is not a come in and sit down and eat type of restaurant at all! The young people that normally attend to the drive through and cash register are NOT waitresses or waiters period! Nor do they have the desire to serve you 100%. Now, give credit where credit is due, their drive

Sorry if you were expecting this to start with "if I could give it ZERO stars I would", but my name isn't Karen. Let's talk about the food at Mechy's.... it's mediocre. Now let's talk about the aftermath of eating Mechy's.... PURE HELL.
It's been 3 days since I've eaten there and still. I've been glued to the porcelain throne since the night I ate there. For real, I'm riding my toilet reverse cowboy, so I have something to hold onto during the explosion. AND.... it looks like French Onion Soup coming out. IMO.
I should

This place was recommended by some drunk dude. I should have known it wasn't going to be worth the stop.
We came in with a large group of 10 on a Monday afternoon. There were only 4 other people in the building and two cars in the drive way. We weren't sure if we were to sit down or stand at the counter so we kind of did both. We finally realized we had to order at the counter.
The focus here really seemed on the drive thru. We placed our orders and waited and waited. We asked for chips and our drinks several times. A good 15-20 minutes later the chips arrived with salsas.

Everyone needs to check the order before you leave if it is "to go or drive thru". We travel from Mesa to Safford for family visits, and it has been consistent that one or more item will not be left out. We have driven to the house and at least one persons food is not in the bag. Today we walked in and ordered a "to go" order. We checked the bag and one complete plate was left out.
The food is decent, but the delivery of the order from cooking to customer is lacking.
The cashier Xander did make sure everything was corrected and took care of the order before we left. It is still

The place isn't much to look at; its a remodeled service station. You also have to order at a counter. However, the food is excellent. They make everything fresh in house daily, so sometimes they run out of a particular item. While everything is good, their green chili tamales and red chili burros are as good as I've ever had anywhere.

5 stars are hard to come by and 4 is usually you're great.
Well not necessarily this time.
The food is good, I especially like the green chili burros with shredded beef and the green chili rellenos.
Tonight I went by, placed an order to go and it was a bit caustic; would have normally rated this a 2 star at best. But what happened changed everything.
I placed 2 orders, a chili relleno plate and a combo plate. I always check my orders anywhere. These "looked" like 2 plates of enchiladas which I did not order. I took them to the counter. The owner/manger was at the front counter
