Our family has loved Macayo’s for decades, and our experience here was another great one. We had a disappointing experience at the Tempe location, and decided to get up, leave, and try this location instead. We were immediately relieved by the attentive and kind staff, quick and tasty food, and chill, pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend Macayo’s, and definitely make the 10 minute drive to this one over the Tempe location!

Food was great and price is reasonable. Ambience was good. Place is beside a lake. It took 15 min for someone to meet us and have us seated, and that was around 3.30pm and the waitress messed my order and almost forgot to give our drinks.

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and every recommendation Hailey offered was spot‑on.

The food was the real star. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell the chefs put genuine care into every detail—from the freshness of the ingredients to the thoughtful combinations on the plate. My personal favorite was the entrée, which was cooked to perfection and seasoned flawlessly.

Service was prompt, the portions were generous, and the prices felt more than fair for the quality. It’s rare to find a place that nails ambiance, service, and food all at once, but this restaurant absolutely does.

I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I would recommend asking for Hailey!

Food, Service and Atmosphere were amazing. Our server Hailey was the standard that all servers should be measured by. She was always there we needed something. Also offered suggestions on her favorites. Never had to ask for anything. She just brought it like she was reading our minds. Highly recommend this joint. Great experience!!!

I recently visited Macayo’s Mexican Food for a dinner catch-up with former colleagues, and the experience was exceptional. The service was attentive and personal; our server even recommended the taco and enchilada plate to my friend, which turned out to be a hit.
As a long-time fan, I opted for the Red Chicken Taquitos. Wrapped in their signature red chile corn tortillas, they were perfectly crispy on the outside and consistently flavorful. I also appreciated the house salsa, it has a wonderful kick without being overwhelming. This remains a reliable favorite for great food and even better service.

Do not order thru take out. They are cutting corners and shorting in quantity of what you are ordering. Pictured is the total amount of salsa that was provided for our order, 3 oz. Look elsewhere for better service and food.

I have been to this location a few times since it was renovated, loved the new look. The food never disappoints, especially the taquitos & chimis! Good happy hour at the upstairs bar, always attentive service by staff and manager Mirna. I have ordered food for work celebrations and have not had any issues, always ready on time & everything accounted for!

This Macayo’s location has been here for decades.
The dining room area and bar have changed a few times over the years. There is also a patio area for dining outside by the lake.
Not all areas of the restaurant are wheelchair accessible. The bar is on the second level and the only way up there is using a flight of stairs.

The ownership has also changed over the last few years.
If you have been dining at Macayo’s for over 5 years, then you will notice a change in some of the menu items.
They have locations all around the Phoenix area.

2025-This review is about my current experience, trying not to compare it to the past. It is a sit-down, full-service restaurant.
They still bring out a bowl of chips and salsa for your table to share while you wait for your order.
They serve what I would call, Arizona-Mexican food.
My favorites are fajitas and chicken taquitos.
They are known for their chimichangas, which are deep-fried burritos covered in a relleno sauce and usually served with sour cream.
They also sell a special mug for margaritas that you can keep and use to get discounted margarita refills throughout the year.
I feel that some menu choices are better than others as far as price is concerned. It will probably cost between $20-$40 per adult meal with a drink. They do have a kids’ menu and they run different weekly/seasonal specials. They also have to-go orders and lunch specials.
They recently launched an app that you can download to earn points and get free food items.
