“ The food was wonderful with a large selection of specialty tacos to choose from. Plenty of drinks to choose from and the patio was a very nice setting to enjoy the sunset from with a couple of margaritas! ”
“ Beautiful restaurant and great service! Food was really good I wouldn't say as good for the price personally paying 11-16 dollars for a single taco isn't my thing but you kinda get two in one because they're stuffed pretty nice! Gotta pay extra for rice or beans so you're literally just paying for the taco! The vampire is good but definitely spiced so don't be surprised! But their starter red salsa is to DIE for I'd tell you go just to try that to be honest! It all tastes very fresh and it's tasty so if budget isn't an issue for you I'd say check it out for sure!! ”
“ Sat @ bar with other couple Blue corn tortilla shrimp and steak tacos were beyond fresh and tasty. Soooo good!! Guacamole and salsa were on point Fajitas prepared perfectly Big servings so can split and share We will be back ”
“ Such a fun little spot in Scottsdale, I'm glad we found it! We came on a Tuesday night for Taco Tuesday. The ambiance was cool and romantic, plus we loved the live guitarist. My only downside of the experience was the service was below average. It took a while to get anyone to our table to order, get a check, etc. Food and drink come out quick since there are runners, but to talk to someone about the meal was hard. We wanted a quicker experience since it was a weeknight, so this felt like it dragged. Otherwise, the food was really delicious! I loved the homemade chips, salsa and bean dip on the table. We ordered the happy hour guacamole and it was nice and fresh - I'd like to try one of their specialty guacs in the future. For entrees, I ordered the CHICKEN DESMADRES & my fiance ordered a burrito. Both were really fantastic and had great char-grilled flavors. I had my leftovers the next day, and they were just as good! I also tried a sip of my fiance's marg, and it was definitely one of the best I'd had. Overall, great food and okay experience. Probably would come back to try more & spend more time in the area! ”
“ Cale was our waiter hope I'm spelling his name right! But his service was great and was able to handle our big family with lots of kids and chaos for a late dinner in Scottsdale one evening. Loved the non traditional chips with beans for free munchies and the beginning and corn was my FAV. Loved the tacos and veggie options. It was cold so Cale closed the outside door for us. Pretty spot. ”
“ Food was actually amazing, loved the burritos! Tried chicken and carnitas. Hostess was a little rude or maybe just overwhelmed asking if we had a reservation, which we didn't, then told us to go to the bar and didn't want to put us on the waitlist. We ended up making a reservation online on our phone for that exact time and got a table immediately. So I guess make a reservation when you want to eat here even if it's not busy?? Servers were great, tableside guac amazing. Will be back! ”
“ Update: Came here for taco Tuesday and they got some great deals. Started south the guac. We got carne asada tacos and I got the firecracker quesadilla and the animal taco. Both delicious. Old review : Was on my list for a while. Started with a blackberry & ginger virgin drink. It was good. Also got the sweet corn. It was good but don't think I will pay $10 for it. The complimentary chips and salsa was good. I got the carne asada tacos with rice and beans. So many tacos for me. 3 come. The steak was juicy. The beans I could live without. The rice was good. My sister got the quesdilla. It was huge! Definitely 2 people can share it. It was really good too ”
