The blandest Mexican food I have ever had in my life, hands down. Really cool spot for its looks but service was slow, menus had salsa on them, and beyond forgettable food.

My whole experience was.. meh. They didn’t have the dish I specifically came there for, which that is twice in the last few months that I went out of my way to travel here for this specific dish, and BOTH times they were ‘out’ of it. It took awhile to be serviced; I watched multiple parties leave due to slow service. My prickly pear marg was not good, it tasted very syrupy. I ended up ordering an appetizer (truffle quesadilla) since they didn’t have my selected entree (chile en nogada). It was alright. The salsa was very good; I love a good chipotle-flavored salsa. Overall I don’t plan to return due to the multiple null factors. We had issues at the last visit too, but I don’t like to air that until I’ve given an establishment a chance to make it up. They did not.

I’m so glad we found this restaurant several years ago, it never disappoints. We visit from New England a few times a year, love to sit on the patio enjoying a beverage with fresh chips and tasty salsa while awaiting our favorite shrimp tacos and chicken enchiladas. Rosie has been our top notch server on several occasions.

We wanted to eat outback as most people were doing so as it was a nice day, but we sat down on wet cushions from the rain the night before. No one checked it out before seating us. 3 of the 4 chairs at our table were very wet. Then we were brought chips and salsa and water. She said she'd be back to get our orders. It was quite awhile. We had finished the chips and salsa and water over that long period. When she finally returned she said I didn't get your orders yet did I? So we gave her our orders. My boyfriend ordered a normal drink served at most places, that they apparently didn't serve, but she didn't know that I guess, so she said she'd get it. His drink never came. When he finally complained over a long period of time about my getting his drink or our food, she said oh I guess we don't serve that drink but the food is coming soon. It was kind of crazy lol. Our food was just ok. Guacamole seemed kind of bland. Tortillas were good. Beans weren't very good. Owner/manager was nice and did what he could to make all the unfortunate events better I give him props for that. When we wanted to leave we had to track down our ditsy waitress as she disappeared again. We caught her just eating and talking about her personal problems to another worker. I found it all kind of horribly comical but my boyfriend was not amused so I don't see us returning, which is too bad because we used to frequent this place a couple years ago and just decided to start going again.

Number one, the beans are from a can. The food was very salty. Don't waste your money at this place.
Fire the cooks!

I don’t usually write reviews, but the food was so delicious that I had to share. I’m visiting Scottsdale on vacation and ordered takeout. Everything was amazing — especially the Camarones al Tequila, which was my favorite. The Ceviche was a bit spicy but very tasty. The staff were so friendly, and I’d love to come back the next time I visit.

Yolanda was very patient, friendly and accommodating! The food was awesome and there were many choices.
Absolutely love this spot! Fresh, flavorful, and healthy sandwiches that don’t skimp on taste. The drive-thru is super convenient, and the service is always fast and friendly. Finally—a guilt-free grab-and-go option that actually hits the spot! 🥪🚗💨

Try the oaxacan salad. It was delicious!

Maybe the best Mexican food I’ve ever had? Unreal.

Wanted to treat my wife to something nice, so went here for our 8 year anniversary.. wanted to like this place more than I did. Some of the food was absolutely phenomenal and some was just meh. Largest issue was the inside of the restaurant was approaching 90 degrees and it was absolutely miserable inside (thermostat read 88).
I was pouring sweat my entire meal and it was quite miserable. The food was alright (got the enchiladas del Mar and steak) ordered the steak med rare and it came without any pink whatsoever. The side of veggies didn't have a drop of seasoning, ino salt, pepper, oil, nothing. So very, very bland. Literally no seasoning at all though.elotes were phenomenal but quite disappointed they can't cook veggies similarly or a steak to temp (i hate sending food back since it winds up as waste but this was the first and only time I sat and contemplated it). Instead I persevered through a lackluster steak to prevent waste. I almost wonder if it became well done just from the ambient temps since it felt like a steam room.
Beotween the environment and the order getting overcooked, we normally give places the benefit of the doubt but this was very hard considering the sweltering atmosphere. Don't think we'll bother again
Really wanted to like it. We were talking if my in laws would like it when we went in. The temps inside are too miserable though. Spent 150 to sit in a sauna and lose my appetite.i saved almost all my food since it was too miserably hot to eat.
As always, we like the food
