“We just opened a shop down the street from this restaurant. We decided to try it one day, and now we're hooked! We go once a week. Their surf and turf fajitas, nachos, and quesadillas are amazing!“

“I typically don’t go to Mexican restaurants, as I really don’t like them. My friend drug me there and I went back again the next day. The shrimp tacos are to die for. I could eat them everyday. Even the chips and salsa was the best of any restaurant I’ve been to. I wish they had one here in Illinois! If I go back to Scottsdale, I’m going straight there to eat! Also the bartender/waiter was the friendliest, most efficient, knowledgeable guy! He was amazing!“

“Great restaurant right across from Fashion Square. It is family owned and you can feel it with the personal attention given by the staff and flavorful menu. Great for date night or dinner with friends. Also has brunch on the weekend!“

“They are amazing. Great food, awesome mixology and the service is exceptional. I will be back… Peace & ❤️“

“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.“

This taco shop is amazing! The tacos are packed with flavor, and everything tastes super fresh. What really stands out is how friendly and kind the lady running it is—she makes you feel right at home. Great food and even better service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

“Thursday, 10/2/25 we had lunch at Oscar’s on N. Scottsdale. 10/10 recommend! Gals working the opening shift that day were on it! Kind, courteous, and smiling! Good was on point! Enjoyed tacos, salsa, beans and rice! It’ll we lived in the area, this would be a regular stop! Thanks for the great lunch!“

“Excellent place! Food was great: birria and chicken tinga tacos hit the spot. A+ tequila selection if you know your tequila (Fortaleza, G4, Lalo, Cazcanes, Cascahuin, Ocho, Tesoro, Mijenta, Don Fulano, ArteNOM 1579, etc) and I really enjoyed sipping and talking tequila with other patrons and David behind the bar who treated us so well. Such a great atmosphere.“

“I have officially defected from Chipotle since it's become clear Cafe Rio is superior in every way. Every single time I come to Cafe Rio, I am blown away by the service. Not only are all the employees welcoming, but they seem to genuinely enjoy their job. I've never felt like a burden for asking questions - they answer everything and are so helpful. And let's talk fresh food. The chicken is so flavorful. I've had bowls, tacos, quesadillas, all of them tasty and delicious. Plus the FRESH MADE TORTILLAS. Im obsessed with this place. They're making a monster.“

“Great atmosphere and great food 🥘. Highly recommend going here for a nice brunch.“

“Best Mexican food in town since I built it in the 90’s’!!!!!“

“This place is great! A friend who lives over there told me about it years ago. Whenever I'm heading that way, I make it a point to swing through the drive-thru. It's all about the pastor for me but the ceviche is great too. And some people I know swear by the stuffed papa. Go. Do it.“

“Delicious food and great service, definitely viciting again.“

“Their bacon breakfast burrito is my favorite in the valley. It has so much bacon and such a good tortilla. Came out so hot and fresh. I get beans inside my breakfast burrito too, since they have the best beans and I can’t not get them every time I go there. The horchata is so good too. I’ve been going here for over 10 years and it’s always so good.“

“best burritos in town! go get you some“

“Manuels is the best !!!!!“

“Great seafood nice place going back soon and often. I had the octopus came with crispy potatoes that were perfect and onions. I ate every bite was fantastic.Nice clean place in a North Scottsdale shopping center find this place right by the CVS“

“Cool spot to get some good Mexican food and sip on a margarita or cold beer. We stopped in for the first time and sat at the bar. Friendly service, seems like the locals were hanging out there as well. Had to start with the queso fundido which has rave reviews on Google - both chips and queso dip were great. Then on to delicious Crispy Potato Taquitos piled with refried beans, lettuce, pico, queso fresco and topped with crema. We also tried the Carne Asada Burrito with black beans, queso Oaxaca, cabbage, crema and guac. Both entrées were served with rice and your choice of refried beans, black or charro beans. Lots of food, and presentation was good. We will definitely be back to try the margs and tacos which were strongly suggested by our server.“

“I love the menudo and I had it everywhere“

“Food is very good, the carne asada fries are amazing“

“Wonderful quick dinner! The food was fresh and delicious. Spicy chicken soup, birria taco in the fruit cart were amazing. To top it all off their drinks where delicious and not too sweet. The service was excellent. We will definitely come back.“

“I hadn't been there in years and years, but decided to go again and it was absolutely wonderful We had lobster tacos that were incredible guacamole that was very very good. Ceviche was also outstanding. The drinks were good and the service was so fast. We were shocked. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for good Mexican food.“

“I work just down the street and we absolutely love this taco shop for lunches. Everyone is super friendly, and the food is great. They are always super quick when I walk down and order to go. And when it’s not the middle of summer, their patio is nice. We should all support a cute, local, neighborhood establishment! There aren’t as many left as they used to be!“

“It is a hidden gem! Great food, employees and cocktails!“

“I had the Menudo and it was too greasy and had no hominy at all. I have never had Menudo without one of the main ingredients. Unfortunately I did not eat it...“

“Our favorite, authentic Mexican food. And the house margarita paired with a cheese crisp (get the green chilies) is the best way to end the week.“

“5 rolled taco supreme is where it's at. The carne asada burritos are great too!

Edit: they do occasionally screw up orders so double check. I got a 5 roll taco supreme missing all the supreme which was heart breaking.“

“Excelente servicio muchas gracias por todo a la mánager Sandy por atenderlos siempre de la mejor manera ,a mucha gente hispana que trabajamos por esa área nos va a hacer falta ese rico pollo q disfrutábamos casi todos los días, sinceramente preferiamos comer pollo que comernos una hamburguesa.“
