“I love this Someburros.!! I often sit here while my son is at church youth events. The atmosphere is always warm and upbeat. The food is great and the staff is nice, especially Christopher. Some people just stand out for their positivity, kindness and exceptionalism.“

“We have been eating at Ajo Al's for years. The food is consistently good and served promptly. We typically sit at the bar and the service from Oscar R has been outstanding. He is engaging and makes the dining experience excellent.“

“★★★★★
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!

Parking: Huge parking lot“

“Very sad to say that we had a very bad experience at your restaurant after so many great meals there. There was one server a very young guy, who was taking his time with everything but the customers on the patio. The place was not packed. There were just certain people he was clearly ignoring. At 30 minutes of sitting he approached and said I'll get to you when I can. At the 45 minute point we had ordered and still had not gotten drinks or appetizers. I asked one of the waitresses who had just arrived and she brought two drinks out. She was very nice. But we then waited until an hour and a half before our server brought the food, cold, like really cold. Clearly it had been sitting around a while. There were only four tables in the restaurant. I think this was probably payback for us asking about our drinks. The entire time he was had been waiting diligently on a table with a single young female, refilling her water, returning again and again. Great food but lately, really terrible service and this waiter really sent the message that he could care less.“

“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.“

“We have been to Oscars a couple times this month, both to dine in and take away. The staff is always friendly and efficient with the orders. Husband loves the surf and turf fries as a treat and the veggies tacos are a favorite. Very generous with their salsas. Keeps us coming back!“

“Manuels is the best !!!!!“

“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.“

“Great drinks, food and service. Top notch.“

“best burritos in town! go get you some“

“Best ceviche I’ve ever had! The guacamole was incredible. Handmade tortillas. The frozen Paloma’s are to die for. The food is amazing but what really made me write this review was the cozy hospitality that you feel when you walk inside.

The owner, David, was so kind to us and proudly told us the amazing story behind the name of the restaurant. His father is a famous guitar maker in Mexico! He even let us play one of his guitars. The staff were wonderful, everything was offered on time and food came out quickly and fresh.

Love the ambiance and the feeling of familiarity when you eat here. Definitely a must try restaurant !“

“Amazingly authentic Mexican! Superb service and healthy portions make this a must stop when in town. Phenomenal for adults and kids. Amaaaazing!!!“

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

“From California visiting family; Happen to find this place while looking to get some breakfast; I ordered a Machaca breakfast burrito: Seriously it was the best I’ve had and I’m a 73 year old Mexican from Cali.. that’s saying something. 👍🏻😂🤣“

“Best Happy hour in town! 🙌🏻😎“

“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.“

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

“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...“

“I love the menudo and I had it everywhere“

“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.“

“Server was attentive. Tacos my husband had were delicious. The vegetable fajita had too many onions, might as well call it onion fajitas. The water is terrible- may i suggest investing into a filter system especially if you don't have any bottled water for purchase or offer bottled water for purchase. Please retrain the hostess on proper attire and how to present in front of customers. Also don't leave the entrance unattended with that many staff members on the floor and a not busy restaurant. Witnessed at least 3 parties waiting at the door and getting upset walking inside restaurant trying to find someone to seat them.“

“Food was very reasonably priced, just enough food to fill your appetite. Service was very good as well. Greeted as we walked in and asked if we've been there before which we haven't and were given recommendations for the most popular items order. The food was very delicious! Definitely will go back!“

“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.“

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

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

“Great Chicago style pizza it’s owned by the parents I went school with daughter.“

“This place is great. It has a very authentic touch and the Mexican food is delicious. Our waiters were super kind. They have a nice but patio with is bit and perfect for summer nights.

We had the beef tacos and chimichangas.“

“one of the best ive been to“

“Great service, good food and cold beer“

“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.“

“It was awesome food. Be careful of the soup if you order soup cause it is extremely hot 🔥♨️🌡i had to add a handful of ice to be able to be able to eat it but it was very good. I got the chicken tortilla soup and a chicken quesadilla and both were good.“

“Going with a 4. The complaints I have is that the tortilla isn’t that good. I used a promo code but normally the steak burrito is 15 something and while it’s a big portion I felt like I was eating a lot of rice. Decent flavor. Like chipotle more still. Can’t see myself going back unless it’s taco Tuesday or they do another promotion.“

“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.“

“It is good place to try 👌“

“Just stopped for dinner was busy and they even ran out of chicken and had alittle wait. Wasnt that bad about 10 minutes after ordered. Food came hot fresh and very good. Manager even came to table to apologise for the wait, Told her no big deal on the wait as its a friday night prime dinner time 6:00pm. Was nice she stopped over though.“

“Let’s say the best carne asada around. I have never written about how good the food is. Today is the day,. Super Nacho with Steak supremely awesome. Pork green chilly burrito oh my. The price point is right for the quality. It is great. Keep up the good work. We will see you soon. Sorry about the photo, it did not stand a chance.“

“the shrimp burrito was delicious“

“The food is delicious � Prices are very reasonable. Service is fast and very friendly. I highly recommend Burrito Express!“

“Best in Scottsdale!“
