- AArleneVIPPhoenix / Arizona •71 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoIt had been a while since we had been to ALMA. The food is better than ever. Loved the chicken quesadillas. The cornbread is insanely delicious. Try the corn pudding for a real taste sensation. even the grilled salmon was a standout. Nice service. We will return soon.More infoAlmaPrice: Expensive• Mexican / Southwestern• Central Scottsdale•4.7
- SScottPhoenix / Arizona •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFood for five persons were very good with great services and hospitality.We ate our dinner at five pm and the outdoor dining area were pretty dark as there are no ceiling lights but do have small table LED light lamps and under bench lighting. Some of us had hard hard time reading the menus with low lights but was managed somehow. We will go there again with better daylights.More infoThe Mission – Old Town ScottsdalePrice: Moderate• Latin American• Old Town Scottsdale•4.6
- NNestorVIPPhoenix / Arizona •25 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoBoth the food and service were excellent. We brought some friends here for the first time and had a great time. They also commented on how great the food and service were this evening. Btw, the short rib machaca is a must try; very delicious! The margaritas were of good quality and enjoyable. The restaurant was energetic and made our dinner time fun. So far haven’t been disappointed in several visits to Blanco. Definitely will be back (soon)!More infoBlanco Cocina + Cantina – The BorgataPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Central Scottsdale•4.7
- KkarenNashville •15 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 11, 2024Our server was excellent and very attentive and helpful. Starting with the chips, salsa and guacamole were all wonderful!!Everyone was happy with their meals also. My only complaint, which is minor there was a bit of crunch or uncooked rice in my serving. We were inside in a small back room that got pretty warm. There was no ceiling fan to help cool it down. Upon going to the rest room I found the front of the restaurant very comfortable. Love sitting outside but it was too hot.More infoOld Town Tortilla FactoryPrice: Moderate• Mexican / Southwestern• Old Town Scottsdale•4.3
