Conejitos is absolutely THE PLACE to be for authentic, delicious Mexican cuisine, especially if you're looking for quality food without an inflated price tag! Yes, this particular establishment does serve their food on paper plates, but I feel this adds to the charm and really reiterates what they're trying to achieve - which is, maintaining a casual, laid-back yet friendly atmosphere.
Be prepared to wait a bit for a table however, as they are almost always packed. At my own first visit my party and I were confused as to how to actually receive service, since there was no host at the door to greet us, hand us menus, nor seat us in an area...so, this would be the only drawback. But I feel this is really due to their equally casual attitude and demeanor, not out of rudeness or poor service. Nevertheless, we eventually just seated ourselves (which by the way, you are supposed to do anyway) and grabbed some menus from another free table to order our food. When it arrived I was surprised at how amazing it truly was! I'll never go to Taco Bell again, if you can believe it, a fast food chain is more expensive!! Honestly, between $2.50-$4.00 per meal.
Simply speaking, no matter what your take on the experience (which is ultimately unique), the food is where it's at with any restaurant & with Conejitos...NOTHING compares.
(Save your money by skipping La Perla & heading for this place instead. They are minutes, or rather, blocks away from each other & you won't risk running up a high bill like having dinner at La Perla, where both the place is overrated and the food overpriced. Conejitos is sooo under-appreciated, please give it a try!)

Skip it!
This place has the worst service ever and the food stinks. I'd rather to to Taco Bell, no joke.

I have been to Mexico, Arizona and all over the country and Mexican food is my favorite. I laugh at the people that have said this isn't authentic mexican food. Go to Mexico, go to Arizona, if you don't think this is authentic, you don't know Mexican food.
Everything is hand made and fresh. The food is excellent, quick and inexpensive. This is as authentic as you can get. If you are looking for a sit down dinner with fine dining, don't look here. This is the kind of food you find at a stand on the street in Mexico or Arizona, the best food you find there. If you have to wait, have a couple margarita's, you will love em too!!
Pros: Authentic as you can get
Cons: NONE

Great food and cheap prices (we're talking $3-$5 for a meal!). The service can be lacking depending on who you get. The last time I went I had to ask for a water refill 3 times before I actually got it. That's in part due to the fact that they are always super busy. If you are sensitive to smoke, this might not be your place. You can request to sit away from it, but the poor ventilation doesn't help the non-smoking section to truly feel like non-smoking. So - depending on your mood this can be a great experience or a not-so great one. If you're feeling precocious and want a nice place then go somewhere else for the night. If you're feeling laid back (as in you're not easily bothered by details like your food being served on paper plates) and like getting some great food for less - this is the perfect mexican food place.

Absolutely delicious food, authentic and inexpensive. This is the type of place I'll take the whole family and foot the bill. Service is good. I highly recommend Conejitos!

I love the people who say that this place isn't authentic... have you even been to Mexico?? Or just Texas?? I go to Mexico once a year and this place is the closest to authentic it can get without actually going there. The White chicken Mole is the best anywhere and is only $5!! The only negative I have is that this place is so busy that it can take a while of standing around sipping drinks before you can get a seat. I definitely wouldn't go here for a "fine dining" but for good "authentic" food and a couple margeritas this is the best!!
Pros: Food!! Margeritas!!
Cons: Parking. Wait time.

If you love authentic Mexican food, try Conejitos. I've eaten there and you can't go wrong with anything you order. The Margaritas, salsa and chips are worth a visit. Try it!!!

This place is not at all like it used to be. The food is thrown together and sometimes not even fresh. The employees are busy talking to one another instead of taking care of customers. The owner will at times when he is drunk kick people out for no reason-we have seen this twice now. We were talking with an employee once and she was telling us about all kinds of drama that goes on there between employees-this is not something that we cared to know about and it reflects poorly on the establishment. Years ago this was a friendly place with great fresh food at a nice price, I don't know what happened to change things, although I must say we have noticed the decline happening slowly over time.
Pros: price but you get what you pay for
Cons: service, parking

The food is beyond amazing...and cheap! If you are looking for a real margarita, this is the place! No blended anything here folks - if you ask for a pitcher, you are getting a full pitcher of just plain margarita. Watch out - they can be dangerous!! If you are looking for a party atmosphere, walk around the block. If you are looking for some awesome food at an awesome price - this is the place to be!!

Too damned smoky. Two dining rooms, but smoking in both! Where is the owner's head? He should put smokers in one and nonsmokers in another.
Pros: Good food
Cons: Smoky
