Elote was great. Food took a long time to come out and I asked for no tomatoes or cilantro which it came with. Wife asked for things off her tacos also which they did not take off. Environment was loud and hard to hear each other. Just a very mid place. We did not get any drinks but if you go I’d recommend getting drunk enough to endure the wait and and the bland food.

Oh my goodness! Living in Arizona I’ve been to quite a few Mexican restaurants, but this is BY FAR the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to. The flavors are fresh and phenomenal. Not too spicy, just perfection. I had the pechuga rellena and the sauce alone could win award. We definitely will be returning and recommending to everyone we know.

It is a unique, solid Mexican restaurant in South Scottsdale with much history. Don't expect Tex-Mex rather a unique menu that has something for everyone (including Vegans).
👍 Service is almost always great. Recently Joshua served us and he was very good. Shout out to Rosie, who has always been one of my favorites! 👍 Margarita flights are delicious! A way to try a few and determine your favorite. 👍 I like the food, some things more than others (love the tamales, guac, and some of the salads in particular). The breakfast/brunch options are solid. Their rice/beans MEH but it's hard to make those stand-out. 👍 Desserts are awesome, save room for them. 👍 A little on the pricey end IMO for S. Scottsdale but not unreasonable considering the ingredients. 👍 Love the vibe especially since they have expanded, however, please note, the flies on the patio, especially when it gets hotter can be uber annoying. Guess something in the food attracts them. But I would still sit outside most of the time (the fire pits are awesome in the winter).

We came here for dinner before going to Zoolights and after the Hall of Flame. We had a party of 6 including 2 kids. We enjoyed probably a bit too much all the chips and salsa that came out before the meal. It was delicious and we got 4 baskets because we were hungry. We ordered a regular size guacamole which came out in a molcajete. We saw a large go by as well and it probably would have been too much for us as 2 in our group do not like guacamole but I highly recommend it. I had the skirt steak and my husband had the red snapper. The kids ate quesadillas. The whole dinner cost way less than I thought it would. We came under $100 which these days is hard to find even in a fast food joint with a large party so the value here for the ambiance on the patio, the friendly service, and the food was fantastic.
Parking: Two ways to pull into restaurant although the one on the right of the restaurant is one way only. Parking did get a little tight by evening but there is a small side street to the left that likely has additional street parking options.
Never had a chance to taste the food. We got seated and never got waited on for 20 minutes. While people that had a reservation showed up after us and got service right away

The food and customer service were amazing! I got the pechuga rellena “stuffed breast” so delicious. The guacamole, salsa and chips were really good also. We were greeted and sat quickly. They brought us water and menus right away. Our food was out within 10 minutes. Definitely recommend it. We were a group of 3.
Hands down the best food we had while visiting Scottsdale! I recommend the Pechuga Rellena, very delicious!

Wanted to find a close spot to grab a bite with extended family after a day of softball tournaments. The outdoor patio was a perfect spot, and they quickly put a table for 12 together. Their street corn and ribeye tacos were amazing. Their prickly pear margaritas were very tasty as well.

Had an amazing meal with Rosie as our waitress. Prickly pear margaritas were delicious as well as the chipotle salsa and everything else we tried today. Wonderful meal.

This has been my go-to Mexican spot. Food is always bold and flavorful, and the outdoor patio is perfect.
Rosie was also a great server, and did well to accommodate any request.
