   Reservation at 5- the guy that came out of the men’s room to seat us with gloves on said kitchen is not open until 6. He made our drinks at the bar with the same gloves- we decided to pay and leave. It took us 20 minutes to get the drinks while he kept going to get supplies. We were the only ones there. In the restroom no soap and water did not work in two faucets. This place looks run down and poorly managed. Why take reservations at 5 when you don’t serve food until 6? Seems like you need to open at 6 if you are not even ready for the bar to be open either. We passed. Now I know why nobody has ever mentioned this place to me.

   Food was good - but took 2 hours to get drinks/food. Understaffed so not the waiters fault, but we ended up leaving and going elsewhere that could accommodate us. It wasn’t busy, so shouldn’t have taken the time it did.

   Very disappointed in this place. Food was good but it took 2 hours to get it. Server wasn’t attentive or friendly. At 7pm it was basically a club vibe with a very loud DJ. We won’t be dinning here again.

   I brought my best friend here for his birthday because it has always been his favorite place. We specifically came on Thursday for the buy one Tomahawk, get one free special. Before our visit, I called to confirm the promotion and asked if they could do something special for his birthday. Everything seemed set. When we arrived and started ordering, we were told they didn’t have any Tomahawks and hadn’t had them for a while. That should have been communicated over the phone when I called to confirm. Additionally, there was no acknowledgment of my friend’s birthday—not even a simple gesture. Then came the food issues. Everything was ice cold—literally refrigerator cold. I ordered a steak medium rare, and it came out well-done (no pink at all). When I pointed this out, the server told me, “That’s how we do our medium rare.” She offered to replace it but then informed me they were out of steak. Instead, she brought me three tacos, but two were inedible because the queso (or cheese dip) was completely cold. When I let her know, she just took the tacos away and brought me the bill without removing them. I had to ask for both the steak and tacos to be taken off. Overall, the food was disappointing, the service was lacking, and the experience wasn’t what it used to be. I remember this place being packed, full of energy, and serving incredible food. Sadly, this is the second visit in a row that has been underwhelming, and I’m not sure I’ll be back.

   They did not have green sauce for enchiladas in stock or borria. Or the tomahawk steak (which is what I primarily went for) they did t have on all the wall lights so the vibe felt like I was there while it was closing time . .... the experience part kinda failed me I took my husband for his bday ... but food was good waiter was kind ...

   Buenos días ayer fui a Scottsdale y la verdad me dejó un poco sabor agridulce sucedieron varias cosas 1- el guacamole con chicharrones ya no los sirven con chicharrones nos dijeron que desde hace un año porque los clientes americanos prefieren tostadas no me pareció 2- no tenían casi de ninguna cerveza y tampoco tenían salsa verde la cual va en muchas comidas pues esas comidas no podías pedir 3-pedí la churumbela la he pedido varias veces y no me dijo que no tenían sabor tamarindo y me dió dos de fresa y una de mango sin decirme nada , creo al menos me hubieran dicho y ya yo decidía si lo compraba o no o pedía otra cosa 4- mi hija pidió camarones roca terminamos de comer todos (3) y apenas le llevaron su comida y eso que a nosotros también duraron más de 30 minutos en llevarnos la comida pues a ella duraron casi la hora para dárselos 5- los baños están demasiado feos y descuidados las llaves se mueven,el dispensador de servilletas no sirve y el baño de hombres tiene puerta quebrada La verdad creo que ya no vale lo que cobran por su servicio

   Disabled American veteran here! The occasion was my wife’s birthday dinner and upon first contact the hostess was cold, uninviting and condescending. The seating provided was horrible, it’s just us two why seat us in a group booth by the kitchen door with only one set of silverware? Once seated at the table, the waitress was energetic yet clueless and off-putting. Incessantly asking if we’re ready to order food and drinks without a menu or a mention of a digital one via a QR code on a card not present on our table. The vibe died within a few minutes staff interaction and we should have left then but we ultimately ended up getting the ordered food to go and left within 30 mins of arriving. Most of the time was spent waiting on someone in the almost vacant restaurant on a post-Valentine Saturday night. While the food ordered was really good, I will not spend my hard-earned money there ever again.

   Dinner @6 for 5 people. Everyone ordered a different dish after appetizers and everything from tacos, enchiladas, pollo was excellent. Original recipes and not production food. Topped off with 3 shared desserts. The mango and pineapple margaritas were 2 for 1 as a bonus. We left at 9pm and never felt rushed. Other tables celebrated birthdays and the restaurant had special treats. A great place to enjoy a leisurely meal with friends.

    Service was absolutely horrible. I do not recommend wasting your time and money here. Once we all sat down our server did not give us any water for about an hour we had to remind her three times (by that time our food was already there). We ordered two guacamole for apps, but we had wanted to do guacamole and queso fundido, she said she had already put it the order for the two guacamoles, it does not hurt to walk to the kitchen to tell them to cancel the order. YOU LITERALLY PUT IT IN TWO SECONDS AGO. Guacamole took about 15 minutes to come out, wasn’t bad. Server never took our beverage order she assumed we all wanted water. Once we put in our food order, we finally decided to put in our drink order. My mom wanted coffee, she said there’s no coffee, what kinda of brunch spot doesn’t have coffee? My little cousin wanted agua de piña, did not have it. I wanted chai, she said they don’t have coffee, it’s literally tea. My cousin wanted matcha, she said there’s no coffee, once again it’s tea. What kind of brunch doesn’t have any of these things not to mention they didn’t have waffles. The chilaquiles don’t come with egg and to add any protein it’s an extra 20 dollars. The steak and eggs on the menu said it costs 28 and on the bill she charged 38. The food was very bland such a poor experience for my birthday. Server did not even acknowledge my birthday reservation. When we ordered my cousins wanted coke she never brought them out. My boyfriend never got his lemonade as well. She brought all drink orders one hour, we were almost done with our food. Food came out all at different times we couldn’t even enjoy our food together. SUCH A HORRIBLE RESTAURANT
