Visited Arizona back in July '23. Stopped here hoping to find some good tequila & tacos & boy did we find it! Owner was there celebrating his wife's birthday, awfully nice people! Staff is absolutely sweet & did a fantastic job! Loved that they had karaoke going on! I'll be stopping by again next time I'm there!

My wife and I stopped in for a couple drinks and happy hour special menu. The bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgeable which was the saving grace to this visit. The Tito's special and Cadillac margarita were exceptional. The Cadillac margarita came with two beef street taco's "happy hour special", taco's were fresh and tasty. We ordered chips and salsa, quest dip as well as tri-tip sliders and another appetizer. We both found everything to be extremely salty. The salsa was very good but chips were extremely salty. Underlying flavors were good but too salty to enjoy. The venue and bar itself are beautiful inside and outside and looks like a perfect place to meet friends and family. Again, bartender and drinks were very good. Would suggest they work on reducing salt level for a more enjoyable overall experience.

I love going there for the music, live music chips and salsa and overall just fun atmosphere foods pretty good. We definitely want to go with friends and if you don't have any, you can meet some there.

We had excellent service, great margaritas and sumptuous food. The outdoor patio is wonderful, and we really appreciate their attention to detail.

Environment was nice and service was attentive, but lacked the usual buzz. It seems that food was so mediocre and lacked flavor and spice. I will stick with Jalapeño Inferno and not go back here. More exciting Mexican alternatives in town. I will say the cocktails are good!!

On our first night in Scottsdale, we drove 1 mile from our resort and found ourselves in The Wandering Donkey Taqueria and Tequila bar. Let me tell you about this 5 star restaurant. This place was Ah-mazing. We were there super early so it was pretty quiet. We sat at the bar which is absolutely, stunningly beautiful and was the creation of a local artist. They have killer drinks with my favorite being a toss up between the Ay- Chihuahua (a spicy margarita with just the right amount of heat) and the Chocolate Espresso martini (a great dessert drink). The food was delicious. We shared the Tostada stack with Carnitas and each got an ear of Elote Corn. That corn was.out of this world! I just know I will crave this corn when I go back to Ohio. The atmosphere was great and the staff were all super friendly, knowledgeable and fun to chat with. We really appreciated Beth coming to chat with us and giving us a little history of this awesome restaurant. If we lived closer, this would definitely be a once a week place for us. If you live in or around Scottsdale and haven't given this place a try yet, do it!

Can't believe it took a few years of its opening for us to discover this neighborhood gem! Fantastic experience from the attentive, professional and knowledgeable staff, to the refreshing, creative drinks and tasty food, and the lively atmosphere. Karaoke night brought in some real talent and it was fun to sing along. Kid friendly- dog friendly patio-clean restrooms.. This is a Scottsdale secret that needs to be revealed! Excited to go back!

The ambiance looked like a pretty cool place. Visited on a Friday night. This place was dead. We sat outside which was nice. We had two margaritas which was pretty decent. The food was tasteless. This isn't a place to come eat but more of a bar joint. They need to stick to the basics for food opinions. Chips and dip and be done!

Great all around. Super chill locals vibe. I could see bringing a board game and some friends on a slower nightExcellent sound system for karaoke this last Saturday. (I think they do a weekday night too) Karafun song selection. Karaoke host was good and a good singer. She kept the rotation moving and didn't seem to play favorites. Great singer too. It's a newer place so the rotation wasn't too crazy and there were several great singers. Check this place out before it's a madhouse!Tacos were great. Beans were good too, charro style. As a phoenix native I was fully prepared to bash another "authentic" taco in scottsdale but these were good.Comfortable chairs. Massive patio with large fire feature. Lots of room to move around between tables.
