"Everything... absolutely everything we wanted to find tonight. Total locals place. Fantastic home cooked fare. Margaritas were just perfect. It's a little house with a couple seating rooms. Very quaint."

"How do you give these folks less than 5 stars? The service is fantastic, never an empty glass. Margaritas are spot on. Food was fantastic — hot, pretty quickly brought out, and nice and seasoned."

Pinetop-Lakeside's Favorite Mexican Restaurant

Family owned since 1999, Sal & Teresa's has served authentic New Mexico–style Mexican food to the White Mountains for over 25 years. Three generations, one family table.

We roast fresh chiles, make our own chorizo, and slow-cook our shredded beef until it falls apart. The best Mexican food near Show Low, a cold margarita on the Pinetop patio, a family dinner in Lakeside — you're in the right place.

Voted "Best Red and Green Chili in Arizona" — Arizona Highway Magazine
