| - This place is way trendy. It's got everything a new, trendy Scottsdale spot should have. Weird fusion food, an eclectic yet tasteful interior decorating job, wooden chairs (the ones that look like they could have come out of someone's old barn, but really they cost $500 each from Restoration Hardware), mismatched, waitresses who look like they could work nights at El Hefe in their booty shorts, and an open floor-plan concept. It's got it all.
If you don't know what Mexican-Asian fusion food is, don't worry. No one else does either. But it's dang tasty! I like that SumoMaya sounds like it would be way too off-the-grid type of food to be enjoyable, but they actually do a good job of separating their menu into a Mexican category and an Asian category so people don't get too freaked out. I ended up having the Duck Breast, something I thought I'd be going out on a limb ordering, but it was amaaaaaazing. Very tender, full of flavor, and I would happily order it again.
I didn't have any cocktails, but my friends had plenty of them since we were there for a birthday, and everyone had great things to say about their drinks. I tried one of them, the Passionfruit, and it was to die for. It's similar to a margarita, but they mix in some ginger beer for a little zing and a little fizz, and you should definitely order it.
All in all, great experience. The service was pretty slow. I was the last to get my drink, and all I got was a red wine, and the last to get my food (but it was duck breast so I'm cool wit that). Otherwise, it was great, and our server was very nice.
