    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.

    We had an incredible experience. And I do mean experience. Not only was the food a 10 out of 10 (and I mean even better than top spots in Scottsdale) , I mean the whole experience. This was experiential! So much more than just dinner! There was singing there was dancing. There were performances there were light up robots. Yes, I said, robots! Matt, the manager took really good care of us and we had the best service. We had so much fun and the food was so good. I’m already working on making my next reservation!! Thank you!
