| - Where to begin. I'm a native of Phoenix, and have been going to Macayo's since I can remember, my parents, and siblings have been going since they opened. I will NEVER set foot inside another Macayo's again. I flew in from Kentucky for a wedding in early December 2015. My treat to myself has always been a Green Chili Burro at Macayo's whenever I'm in town. My sister, and I went to the Macayo's at the West Thomas location. When our server came to take our order, we asked for Green Chili Burros. We were told by her that "management" had now changed, and they had decided to remove the Green Chili Burro from the menu. I was literally in shock. Macayo's is KNOWN for their Green Chili Burros, that's THE staple that made them famous in Arizona, and the southwest. My sister and I just sat there staring at each other, and in complete disbelief. It took my breath away, and I felt as a HUGE part of my childhood just died. The server, who was PHENOMENAL by the way, was JUST as upset as we were. She couldn't believe any "management" could delete a STAPLE ITEM on the famous menu. My sister, and I finished our ice tea, told the server we would NEVER be back, and as we began to leave, she told us that 4 of the new "managers" were sitting at a table not far from ours. SO as we walked out, I made a point to stop at their table, and in no uncertain terms, let them know that WHOEVER thought up this idea have no idea what they're doing to Macayo's. I'm actually moving back home to Phoenix the end of January 2016, and was SO looking forward to frequenting Macayo's. It's okay though, I found a NEW, OLD PLACE where the management understands NOT TO MESS WITH A GOOD THING, and is still has the original family owned feeling, because it is. That place is Poncho's on South Central. PHENOMENAL, PHENOMENAL Green Chili Burros, and Everything Else. Fantastic Food, and Staff.
GOODBYE MACAYO'S, YOU WILL BE MISSED. It's a SHAME that "management" stepped in and RUINED a good thing!
