X-Tapa Joe's is yet another mexican restaurant in Scottsdale that's alright, but nothing all that special. It'll satisfy your taste buds, but will not blow them away. It's also a little overpriced. Fortunately, there is a $30 for $15 gift certificate on Local Dines (http://www.localdines.com/phoenix?ref=19485). That definitely makes the place worth a try.
I had the spinach enchiladas. Pretty standard. My wife had the chicken fajitas. Again, pretty standard, but the tortillas were ridiculously big, more burrito sized than taco. I will give X-Tapa Joe's credit for having the chips and salsa brought to the table just seconds after being seated. I will not complain about that!
X-Tapa Joe's calls itself an upscale mexican restaurant. There's a hilarious hypocrisy to this description. There are handwritten paper signs all over the restaurant and handwritten changes to the menu. Pretty cheap and low scale. I think The only thing that was upscale was the price of the average at best food.
