This is my "go to" Mexican restaurant in the valley. I have been eating here for 25 years and in fact, I ate here my very first night in Arizona.
Chips and salsa are always out of this world good. Made fresh daily, they serve two types. Hot and hotter! The hot is a traditional chunky tomato salsa with onions, jalapeƱos, cilantro, etc. The hotter salsa is smooth red chili. Both delicious and really good mixed together.
I highly recommend getting a side of guacamole to enjoy with your chips and salsa. Hands down, best homemade guacamole you will ever eat. I don't know how they do it, but I have not had better anywhere.
Their food is great. I don't have a set favorite thing so I have tried just about everything on the menu. Today I had the carne asada and enchilada. Steak was very tender and flavorful. Outstanding!
Another favorite of mine is the steak fajitas.
Combinations are also a hit and they have several to choose from. They also have lunch specials Monday-Friday.
Fried ice cream? Don't miss it. Traditionally served, coated in cinnamon crunch and honey. Mmm!
My favorite server at Los Olivos is Toni. She is very sweet and is a fantastic server. I always ask for her when I go in. Not to worry though, all the other servers are great too.
Next time you need a Mexican food fix, try Los Olivos in Old Town Scottsdale and be sure to ask for Toni!
Enjoy!
