Betha’s El Sabor De Los Mochis is a Mexican Restaurant that serves up many Mexican favorites such as Mariscos ( ceviche, whole fish, marlin tacos), Tacos, Pozole (Hominy Meat Stew), Albondigas de Cameron (shrimp meatball soup), Breakfast, Burros, Menudo (tripe soup) and more!

This isn’t a fancy place but everything looks new and clean.

They started us off with fresh made chips and a very flavorful spicy hot salsa.

While we wait for our order a Mexican Game show is playing on the TV where people suddenly disappear and fall threw the floor depending on what their package reveals. Wow..how surprising…….odd but funny…….

Today I decided to try the Marlin Tacos because one of my favorite tacos I eat when I’ve visited  Mexico was a smoked marlin taco.  I haven’t found many Mexican Restaurants that offer the Smoked Marlin Taco. This is only the second restaurant in Metro Phoenix where I’ve found smoked Marlin Tacos.

The Marlin Taco here is good but very different than the smoked Marlin Tacos I had in Mexico.

This Smoked Marlin Taco starts off with a really great grilled house made (what taste like white corn) tortilla. I think the fresh made tortilla actually taste better than the tortillas I ate in Mexico. The Marlin here is all chopped with a texture similar to packaged tuna fish. The Marlin is very mild and sweet tasting it also has so little smoke to it  that neither me or my husband can taste the smoke. I do taste a fresh lively salsa in it and a mild melty cheese and it has a nice crunch from cabbage. This taco is almost like eating something that’s tastier and better than a quesadilla. This Taco is very unique.. The Cheese with fish seems sort of odd but this marlin is so sweet and neutral that it works…….I’ve never had one like this anywhere. It’s also larger than I was expecting….after all they were only $4.00 each…I thought they’d be smaller.

My husband started with a Cabeza Taco ($2.00).

The beef was tender and developed with flavors. A squirt of lime and a small amount of salsa makes this a tasty treat.

Then our meals arrive and I’m full but I try things anyway.

WOWWEE! This restaurant serves the BIGGEST Chiles Relleno in the whole world! Oh my gosh….The Mexican tomato sauce is nicely seasoned and is very good. The batter is the lightest I’ve ever had on a Chile Relleno inside is a big river of lots of melty mild cheese. My husband liked both the rice and beans. I thought the rice had nice seasonings but for me the rice was too mushy…..But that is the charm of home style cooking….Just like Mom used to make.  My husband said with the soft texture of the rice goes better with the beans that way………….to each his own…….

My husband tried the Chicken Enchiladas with Rojas and Verdes.

The Chicken inside the enchiladas was fresh, tender and developed with flavors. Sauces were both flavorful too. For me the Green Sauce had more bite to it….I liked it more than the red but both were good.

The service was friendly and welcoming. Sauces were very good. Beef and Chicken were fresh, prepared tender and both were developed with flavors. the House made Tortillas were excellent. The menu is intriguing and there’s a lot more to try!

What we tried today was Worth a Fork!
