This is by far one of the most entertaining dinners we have had! The ambiance is fantastic. The food is amazing but add dancing robots you got yourself dinner and a show! They have a DJ. At one point I was transported to Nogales in the 90’s with the bartender giving out shots while dancing and blowing a whistle.
I ordered potato tacos, black beans and a huge margarita. Let me start with the margarita. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The potatoes in the tacos were not just an afterthought to appease vegetarians. They were mashed with a balanced flavor of spices. My husband ordered the enchilada divorciada which includes chile-braised beef, braised chipotle chicken, tomatillo salsa, cheese, creama fresco, cilantro, queso fresco. Both meals includes rice, beans and sweet corn tamale cakes. We finished the meal with flan, topped with sweet whip, roasted pineapple and a rolled cookie. They have a tortilla station where they make the tortillas.

Went for lunch staff was amazing!!! From the moment we arrived everything made fresh and it shows! Waitress was fantastic good recommendations we stared with a few margaritas, then the traditional guacamole along with their house made salads SO good. For the main corse we have the fish and carne asada burritos love the option of having the deep fried would highly recommend if you are in the area!!!!

Food was fantastic!! Atmosphere was great!! Bartender was fantastic when we sat at the bar to wait for seating!! Kat pointed out some good things on the menu for us cuz it was our first time there very helpful! Make me a great Long Island Iced Tea.. love the tequila cart going around offering people shots did not try it.. the bartender made our night.. waiter was a little slow getting our check to us and I probably would have had an extra drink but he never offered another drink… have to say Chef Joey’s dishes are fantastic.

Wow! Chef Joey did an incredible Mashup of South of the Border food with delightful inviting interior and vibes DJ music spins
Food was excellent and service to match. The ONLY negative I have is the DJ is TOO loud.
I got a table on the Patio which us stellar in terms of decor, climate control and an effort to hear conversations with our table.
The Birria de bao is most amazing, I also tried the street corn guacamole, shrimp cocktail, Ensalada Fresca and the Caesar Salad. All were beautifully presented with large portions and very tasty

The atmosphere is so fun! They had a live DJ and at one point while we were there (on Friday night) they had the coolest looking transformer dancer guys! The food was AUTHENTIC Mexican food and to die for! My hubby and I ordered the pozole rojo to go. I was so happy to see it’s a regular item on the menu and not seasonal. We live in the white mountains and come to Scottsdale about once a month right now. This was the first time we tried it and we will DEFINITELY be back. It delivered on all accounts, food, service and atmosphere.

Super fun environment that fills up fast in the bar for HH. Great drink and food specials on the HH menu! Quick, friendly service and able to accommodate my gluten and dairy allergy. They have free chips and salsa as well that are always hot and delicious. A group of GF’s and I have been meeting here monthly. The environment is pretty loud, and the tequila cart goes around with a fun server offering shots for purchase.

WOW ✨, if I could give this place more stars, I would.
From the very moment I walked in, to the moment I walked out of this restaurant. It was amazing!
We were greeted by the manager, Michael. He was such a fun spirit , very professional, and prompt to any of our questions/needs. As someone who just moved to AZ and I’m trying this place for the first time I felt so important and welcomed.
ALSO, I have to give credit to our server David, who was literally the sweetest, I know next time I come, I’m going to ask for him! As for the food, it was so delicious, the drinks were bomb, and the desserts are to die for !!!

Lively spot with a dj on Fridays. HH restricted to bar area only so a little disappointing. Side tables comfortable good service. Margaritas were good. Had Chicken tinga burrito was tasty doble margarita with 2 pork belly tacos $20 deal with rice & beans. Enchiladas a little small for the price but good. We’ll have to try to
come back for HH. We did go for HH on taco Tuesday added photos tacos were good so were the nachos but the $5 margarita a disappointment. Its expensive for drinks on regular menu. All in all a fun place, we’ll be back!

Unbelievably delicious. Coming from Colorado we thought we knew good Mexican food but this blew us away! We went for dinner and our server was David. We loved it so much that we went back the next day for lunch! The classic Margarita was winner – very smooth and very well made. Don’t miss the birria nachos – there’s no way to describe how perfectly made they are – and enough for lunch for 2. The Enchiladas Divorciados were fantastic – literally melted in my mouth.
So, so good. We can’t wait to go back. Oh – and try the pineapple flan – wow! Just WOW!

One of the most amazing experiences dining in my life! We were in Mesa for a family trip, and we stumbled across this place! Probably the best Mexican food, and food period that we have ever had! The homemade chips and salsa are addicting, and the decor and amazing food brought it together! We weren’t able to catch his name, but the guy who seemed to be the manager/maitre d had the most amazing customer service skills! I couldnt think of a place that is more deserving of a 5 star review than this place, this is the Ritz Carlton of Mexican restaurants!
