So the truth is that as a youngster I ate with the family at Macayo's elsewhere in Phoenix so on this trip I was out by this one and made a bee line there the first night. I was not disappointed, in fact I went there twice the week I was there. I love the carnitas and it never fails to impress. I also like the rellenos and they were excellent as well. Both servers were quite attentive as well despite being busy. And truthfully I have found many places do not really take good care of a single diner in restaurants of this size. After all the restaurant does not that much money for the table being occupied and the server does not make as good a tip as they would if there were two to four people. But this place was NOT like that. The servers were happy to attend to my needs and the staff was attentive and responsive on both occasions. That is the mark of a professional establishment - both the staff and management.
Salsa ad chips arrived promptly, my drink order was taken and the food arrived promptly. And I like the salsa here even if it is a bit gringo for my taste buds. I realize that most people do like the fire hot salsas one might find in some places. But this salsa has a good flavor and I like the oregano flavor in it.
