Casa Duarte - Flagstaff

Love this place. Best breakfast ever!! They are the same as Martannes without the crazy lines (same owners I think). Love the decor and salsa bar and always love the Jerry (can tell you amazingly sour cream breakfast Enchilada) and the posole for breakfast with eggs over easy! Today, the “Mimosa by the Bottle” just tried a whole bottle of champagne and then u can add your own mixer. Today was Mango, strawberry, Oj, and I think Papaya? Whatever. Can't say enough good things about this local flagstaff gem.

Incredible Mexican food! Awesome blend of flavors in a cool environment. Best food in Flagstaff!

Truly enjoyed the food here at Cafe Duarte. I chose a ceviche tostada because I'd never had one before it was delicious! The margaritas were great not too sweet, which is how I like mine. Love the plethora of salsas to choose from. Service was great. Food came out quickly and hot! And the restaurant is classically beautiful. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in Flagstaff.

Wonderful mahi mahi tacos. Well presented. Nice portion size. And the churro cheesecake? Divine. Delish!

5 reviews 4.0 star rating 10/9/2017 I am giving Casa Duarte only 4 stars not due to the quality or taste of the food, but due to the extremely poor service we received. Casa Duarte is a very cute place, great atmosphere, nice decor, but it is a seat yourself place. That 's all good, except, you never know who your server is and I 'm not sure they know either. We sat down and after about 5 minutes were brought water. After another 5 minutes, we were brought menus. After about 15 more minutes our server (Eileen) came to take our drink orders. By this time we were ready to order. We gave her our drink orders, requested a basket of chips (additional $2.25 charge) and ordered our meals. I ordered the Cyndi G, which is a green chili pork pozole with 2 fried eggs on top. My husband had the Volcanoe, which is the Chiliquiles with the addition of Green Chili pork and a fried egg. On one other occasion, we had the Jerry El Mujericco, which is spicy green Chili pork with an enchilada with a fried egg. Everything comes with beans, rice, hash browns and a tortilla. The Cyndi and the Jerry are excellent. The Volcanoe was ok, but did not stand a chance against the other 2 meals. I give the food 5 stars. So back to the service. Once our server took our order, we waited and waited and waited. I requested a straw from her once as she passed by, and gosh, she threw me 5 of them. Well needless to say, I advised her I really only needed 1, so the next time around she came back and retrieved the other 4. Our drinks and chips never came. Another server finally brought out our food...still no drinks or chips. Eileen finally came by and brought the drinks and chips, after our food came. Geez, I really prefer my chips before the meal, but okay..... As I said, food is really outstanding, no qualms there. After we were done, plates set aside, just hanging out, guess what? Yep, no check.....wait, wait, wait. Now I 'm watching how she is handling other tables that appear to be hers...the same way. Other patrons in the restaurant that got the luck of the draw and got another server are taken care of promptly, so I am guessing she is either new or out of sorts this day. She brings our bill, I review and put my card out and wait. Finally someone else comes by and picks up the ticket and my card. Our server brings it back and just says I 'm sorry, I did my best . Humm, not sure how to take that, maybe this is not the right line of work for her.
