This restaurant is so underrated and I cannot believe it has only 4.3 stars on Google Maps now! We ordered Christmas tamale, AI Pastor taco, beef tongue taco, chicken mole, lobster quesadilla. Everything was super delicious, some light and cheesy, some super savory, all bring unique flavors and wonderful journeys for the palette. Environment is nice and service is quick. My favorite is the chicken mole, highly recommend! Would love to visit again!

This is definitely a nice date spot. Our meal was very tasty! Yummy yummy crispy, savory, with a hint of sweet and spicy brussel sprouts. I wish I had room for dessert.

My chicken mole dinner was very tasty and fresh. The service was great. The drinks at the bar were perfect. Just wish happy hour can be at the table instead at just the bar. Will definitely go back

The complete experience was beyond and far exceeded my expectations! From the food to the service Alma delivers an experience that’s unmatched. Kyle, our server, made the night exceptional. His servant heart and willingness to engage was seen and provided an evening that my wife and I will long remember. The food was delicious! 5 stars for all aspects! Don’t wasted your time going anywhere else in Scottsdale! Spend your time & money in a place that truly values you and the experience with the food that will always leave you with a desire to come back!

Stopped in for happy hour, enjoyed the margarita flight and my partner had the Blanco tequila flight. Both were incredible, my favorite was the spicy margarita The bar tenders were kind and helpful to point out some highly recommended options. We shared an order of tacos and crispy potatoes with spicy jam. Overall the food and drinks were wonderful, the restaurant is beautiful and bright, they have a huge patio with misters (also dog friendly) we will be back.

I cannot speak highly enough about this wonderful hidden spot! The moment we stepped in, Katie’s warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home. Her amazing hospitality truly enhanced the entire dining experience. Not only did she recommend the delightful Margarita Flight, but she also took the time to explain each drink and ensured it perfectly complemented our meal.

Amazing place! Beautiful decor inside and out. Kali was our great server. Vegan and meat options! The vegan Butternut Squash Picadillo was unreal!! You have to get the banana nachos for dessert – so creative!

Hip location with an upscale vibe and a great place for after work or even casual gathering. Highly recommend any of their margaritas….. I loved the ghost pepper mezcal Rita with tajini rim. The lobster quesadilla was to die for delicious. If you saved room for it… the desserts are larger portions and come out fancy so very easy to share amongst a group

I ate the chicken empanadas and the Al Pastor tacos. They were delightful as well as the cornbread and queso. It is a cool spot with good service and a fun atmosphere. Just go and eat some delicious food already!

The decor of this place is great. It’s a super cool atmosphere and I loved the table setups. You feel like you are in someone’s nice home. Decor was a 5/5. Food was good but not amazing. The blackened mahi was very good, the scallops were ok. The drinks were either too sweet or too bitter. My wife got the $24 platinum margarita. It was bitter and not very strong. The service was also very slow. We ordered our second round of drinks when dinner was served and we didn’t get them until after we were done. It took them about 15 minutes to clear our empty plates as well. Overall decent food but probably would not go back due to the slow service and cocktails that missed the mark.
