We're not sure how Goyitas is New Mexican other than adding some green chile to some stuff. It's pretty Mexican, and mediocre at that. Guacamole was basically mashed avocado with some onion and garlic powder (think Costco prepacked style). Shredded beef enchiladas with green sauce (the sauce with beef in it) were decent, with real meat, but overpowering flavor was salt. Rice was fine, beans the same. Flautas with shredded beef were a little better. The red sauces are really spicy. The green sauce with no meat is flavorless. Salsa with chips was not great. Fried ice cream was decent. Sopaipillas were some of the worst we have had. Thank goodness the margaritas were good! Phew.
Plenty of parking. Our server was very friendly. Even so, not planning on a return trip.

We ordered a large to go order. The Waitress who took the order was very patient and very nice. She made us aware of lunch specials that would save a little money. Very knowledgeable about the sauces we asked about. The food was ready in decent time and was SO DELICIOUS!!! My crews really liked it. We will order from again!

Lived in Albuquerque for 11 years and really came to love NM cuisine. Usually "New Mexican" means NEW Mexican, so it's a disappointment. When we came to Sahuarita to visit and found out that there was a NEW New Mexican restaurant, we were thrilled. Although the reviews were mixed and troubling, we approached our visit to Goyitas with the understanding that this was a new restaurant and may have some kinks to work out, but our love of the cuisine trumped the concerns. It was much worse than we could have ever anticipated.

It was lunch time (12:30) on a Friday. As we approached the door, there were taped up signs saying 'wait to be seated.' When we entered, there was no hostess/greeter or any indication that there was a place to check in. There is a bar along the left wall that was unfinished, apparently for the lack of liquor license. That was no problem for us, just an observation. The restaurant was pretty big, busy and the tables were spaced very well apart. Three workers were rushing around between tables, and a young man saw us, raised his finger to acknowledge us, as if to say, "just one moment" and then went on about his business. There was one other group waiting, a group of five. After about 15 minutes with no further interaction with anyone, he came and sat them, then eventually sat us as well. And then we waited again for at least 10 minutes before a server took our drink order and brought really, really overcooked, tasteless, unsalted chips and some runny, non-descript salsa.

We were a party of three -- one ordered a combo with tacos and enchiladas, one ordered chicken-stuffed sopapillas and I ordered chile rellenos smothered with red chile. The server advised that the red chile sauce was really hot. At least 20 minutes later, the server came back and told us they were out of chile rellenos. I got a menu and ordered pork in red chile sauce. She came back soon after and said they were also out of pork. So I ordered chicken enchiladas smothered in red chile.
When our food was delivered, the stuffed sopapillas were fresh and crispy but the dish itself was extremely disappointing: dry shredded chicken, iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. I've had stuffed sopapillas hundreds of times and it's always smothered with red or green chile, eaten with a knife and fork. These resembled pita pockets, not a hint of the seasonings that make New Mexican cuisine so special.

The taco plate was good. The red chile really was hot (but I loved it!). We ordered sopapillas (they come 3 to an order) for dessert. They were HUGE, crispy and hot.

There is so much potential for this place and I hope the owners are able to scramble to get it together quickly so that the restaurant is successful. I wanted to like it so badly--I want to be able to go again on my next visit to the area, but my review is based on this visit. I will happily update it if things turn around.

Hello! Again, another first time eating here.. I do want to start off by apologizing. I got to carried away with photos on the menu, and I forgot to take pictures of the food.. haha.. sorry.. but.. let's get started.

So, the first time eating here went with my husband and my roommate. Let me start with the green and red chili sauces. They are pretty good if you like a bit of kick, do red.. but if you like more flavor, do Green.. I personally prefer flavor over kick, but do love me some kick if it also had great flavor.. I had the enchiladas plate shredded beef, and it wasn't bad.. the beans here were pretty tasty giving them that.. but the rice for me.. ahh, it was not quite there.. have yet to find a place that has both items to par but one day..

The service was great. Everyone was polite and friendly... I love the way they also remodeled the place great ideas put into it and nice color choices and decor! They even look like they have a private room for bigger parties which is nice and the Bathrooms were clean and decently sized as well, which is a huge plus for me, and the prices were as about as high as any other place for the 3 of us got out around 50-65 bucks give or take.

The chips and salsa.. honestly.. I'm unsure if you all are like myself. I can really enjoy myself with great chips and salsa.. unsure what they use for their chips not to impressed by it and the salsa wish they had a more spicier options and wish it had more flavor.. But all in all, it's not too bad. I would say try it out.. and if I were to recommend something is that certain items can be a little dry, I would recommend adding that little somethering on the sauces to help make it a bit more appealing when you eat! 😀

Went on a busy Friday night and were seated right away. Our waitress was so hospitable, friendly, attentive and went the extra mile. The food came out quickly, hot and fresh. I've lived in Tucson for 7 years and was never able to find truly authentic New Mexican food until now! Every time I go to New Mexico, I find myself wishing I could bring the food back with me. Now, I'll remember Goyitas. The food is so good and the people working are truly wonderful. This place is seriously underrated and a hidden gem.

We were a little skeptical about the reviews but I'm so glad we gave them a chance. We couldn't help but compliment the waitress and told her we were puzzled by the negative reviews on Google. She said that they had a tough time when they opened but they've improved since then. I have no complaints and this was one of the best meals and service I've had in the state of AZ.

Having lived in New Mexico I can attest that NM food is different from the standard Mexican food. You will find Sopapillas ( stuffed and regular), smothered burritos, and other differences in their food. Best part is they use Hatch chilis....the best!

Their New Mexican style Mexican food is so delicious with the perfect amount of spice. We got their Gorditas and Sopapillas which were both delightful. Portions are very generous. Miranda, our bartender, was great and very attentive. We will be back again & again!
