De La Cruz Mexican Grille

Good atmosphere had a blast with my gf Becky! Shrimp quesadilla so good!!

My chili relleno was a piece of flattened chicken with sauce ( sauce was good). Very disappointed. Shrimp enchilada had about 2 shrimps. No sauce - suppose to have a green sauce. Unfortunately it was take out so didn’t notice the problems until I got home.

This is one of our fave Mexican restaurants. It is a great date spot. The food is absolutely amazing. The bartender is so sweet she always takes care of us, even remembers us. The drinks are stellar. Such a great ma and pa restaurant. Best place to get food in Gold canyon. Highly recommend to all. They are cautious of allergies too. I should have taken pics of our fajitas but we ate them so fast. Delicious!

We’ve been coming here for the better part of a year now and they always have great food and great atmosphere. We always try and request the bartender to be our server she’s the best always takes good care of us has great customer service and makes great drinks for us. Definitely recommend coming here.

Stop what you're doing and get to this place. Ask for Jose's salsa. BOTH RED AND GREEN!!! YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!!!

The food was delicious. At our table we had the shrimp quesodilla and hard tacos with rice. Everyone at our table thought everything was good and would return to try different items.
Our waitress was very polite and service was quick.
We will return to eat.

I really want to enjoy De La Cruise because the food itself is good, but my experiences have been mixed. The biggest issue has been the service at the bar. The bartender consistently seems to overlook me — either forgetting to take my order or not putting it in at all. It’s happened enough times that it doesn’t feel like an honest mistake anymore.

On top of that, I’ve had a couple of disappointing moments with the food, including finding a hair in my dish. The kitchen clearly knows how to cook, but the attention to detail needs improvement.

I hope things turn around, because this place has potential, but right now the service and quality control make it hard to fully enjoy.

Outstanding food, service and ambience here! Taco Tuesday every week and the absolute best outdoor patio/bar in the east valley.

My wife and I came here for lunch one day. We were seated quickly out on the patio. The atmosphere is great especially having the mountains in the background. Our server was fantastic. She had many recommendations for us as we have never been here before. The beer was cold and my wife loved the margaritas. The food was great. I had a steak el burrito and it was fantastic. The server also brought us some I believe it was creamy jalapeno sauce and that was good as well.

Great food and service. We had a big group of adults and my 5yo as the only bored kid. One of the young ladies on the staff took her inside and played with her half the night. Kiddo made a new bestie, well definitely be back to visit next time we're on this side of town!!!

Worst front hostess staff in all of AZ. Food is mediocre I cant say anything good unless you like being ignored or hung up on .

The food is bland and over priced, service was good not great. They have almost no GF options. I don't love the tortillas chips because I like the super thin ones and these were quite thick. I have braces they there were hard to chew. I like the look of the place, it was clean and the bathroom was clean.

We went in and were ignored, but patiently waited. Another couple came in way after us and were helped and seated immediately! As frustrating as this was, we still patiently waited even though we were not happy about this! Nobody ever came to help us! Finally my husband asked them if there is a waiting list and told the lady at the front we were there before the other couple. She said “hold on let me check” and never came back so we left! I’m shocked! And it was very busy! How do you just disappear?
