I am SO GLAD I decided to come to El Panzon Y Frida for dinner. Located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale this place stands out from all the clubs in the area. The décor is cozy and the tables are laid out well in the large space they have.
The drink menu is filled with several different cocktails and their beer taps rotate frequently. I ordered a tomato martini- it sounds weird but it was delicious! They use tomato water to flavor and it is served with fresh mozzarella and basil. I would highly recommend it if you're looking for something refreshing and different.
I can't say enough amazing things about the food here. I really hope this place sticks around because everything we ordered was perfect. The bone marrow appetizer is generously sized and served with asparagus, corn tortilla, and house chimichurri. The savory flavor of the marrow was well complimented by the chimichurri. I also ordered the grilled octopus and I think it might be my favorite octopus dish ever! It was cooked perfectly and charred slightly on the outside giving some additional great taste. The spicy aioli was the perfect choice for some added flavor. I ordered the duck breast for my entrée. The presentation was beautiful! The perfectly cooked duck was plated on sweet potato puree and served with lingonberries and heirloom tomatoes.
The service I had was exceptional. Our server provided great recommendations throughout the course of the meal and made sure we had a great experience. I can't say enough good things about El Panzon Y Frida and will definitely be back!
