The appetizers, entrées, drinks, and desserts were top shelf. We enjoyed Mexican Street Corn, Guacamole, Shrimp Tacos, Beef Short Rib Enchiladas, and a delicious chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream. Each plate was excellent! And, the service can be described in one word, "exemplary." Our server, Mallory, was courteous, attentive, caring, knowledgeable, and thorough. Stellar! 5 STARS! Highly recommended!

The first thing that stood out to us was the ambience - the lighting, the open airflow, the Spanish music, the entire vibe was just perfect. We enjoyed our dinners (the fajitas did not disappoint!), and appreciated that there was a kids menu so our three children could find a meal to suit them as well. We would definitely come back here again next time we visit Scottsdale.
