| - Our experience was mixed. We tried 5 different tacos, a shrimp slider, and a couple cocktails.
The tacos were all pretty good - the one with the corn was my favorite. The slider was really good and the cocktails were average.
The atmosphere is really cool with the open garage doors as well. If it was just based on the food and atmosphere, I would give a 4 star.
BUT...
If their management doesn't fix some things, I don't think this place will last given the amount of competition in the area as well as the demographic.
We were there around 4:30 on a Saturday and they had 4-5 employees on their day-off in there drinking at the bar top (typically not allowed at good bars). Anyway, it wouldn't have been a big deal, except ALL Focus was on them. All 3 bartenders were more interested in talking with their friends/employees at the bar. The manager even went over and hung out with them for quite some time. All this going on while the rest of the patrons were ignored. Because of this, it gave off more of a young/Old Town Scottsdale feel which I don't think will take off in the location.
On our way out, we heard a group of college kids say, "Never going back there."
I'm not against going back, but since there is great Mexican food and 50 other cool bars/restaurants in the area, I definitely won't be recommending it nor will I be back any time soon. The employees were VERY comfortable given the fact that they just opened.
