I thought the ambiance and environment was fun and inviting, but the food itself was very overrated and boring. Maybe I'm bias cause my fiance's family owns a authentic Mexican restaurant and I've had so many great Mexican dishes recently, that this place paled in comparison.
This place is located in the corner of Greenway Hayden and Scottsdale road, right in Scottsdale Quarter. This place is well decorated and looks like a fun place to go, but when you sample the food, the fun stops there! The prices of this place is very expensive, especially for very simple Mexican dishes. We stopped by on a Sunday evening, we had a pretty big group, cause it was my fiances brothers birthday. The service was pretty good, so really no complaints, but it was the food that was the true let down. We ordered some drinks to start out...and for appetizers we ordered some guacamole for the table. The guacamole wasn't very tasty and for 9 bucks, you really only get a small sample. They bring you out some chips and salsa and some sort of bean dip to nibble on while you're looking at the menu. Since we had a big group, we all were chatting and waiting for others to arrive. I literally looked at the menu for over 20 minutes and really nothing stood out and it was very tough to decide. The dinner menu was very limited, they had some dinner specials, which were very over priced and they had a taco section that they served ala carte. I wasn't going to drop 8 to 12 bucks on one freaking taco, its principle of it. So basically if you wanted two specialty tacos with rice and beans, it would of cost well over 20 bucks for a plate. On the back of the menu they had dinner plates, but most dishes were over 15 and the options were very limited. My lady ordered the three carne asada taco plate wih a side quesadilla and I ordered the pork carnitas which was 20 bucks. I was not impressed. The meat was served in a little dish and the flavors were bland and the meat itself was barely warm. It tasted like pulled pork without the smoke flavor. Not to mention the huge glob of fat that came with it. I seriously thought it was a joke. I tried to add some flavors by adding hot salsa, onions and avocados, but the taste of the meat was just awful. Overall the meal was a disaster. I would give it a one star review, but the service was pretty good, and the ambiance was nice. Overall, not my type of place. Phoenix has tons of great places to try for Mexican food, but if you don't value money and want something different, give this place a try!
I would not recommend this place at all. Maybe for happy hour and drinks, but definitely not for the food.
