    Based on reviews thought this would be a great choice. However, food was lacking flavor and the portions were exceptionally small for the brisket brunch option. It was very dry meat with no flavor or seasoning and was two thin small strips of meat about 2 total ounces. The polenta was pretty good though. The service was nothing special waited around a bit for our check at the end and servers were mostly talking amongst themselves. The chimichanga was pretty good though and a good size. But didn’t have much chicken. Very unimpressed.

    I have eaten at Ocotillo many times in the past and have never had a bad experience until today. But today was truly terrible. We sat down and it took almost 15 minutes for someone just to come over and take a drink order. We were told there was no milk or cream…at they were waiting for the chef to deliver it. Our waitress was beyond rude. It was like she was doing us a favor. We ordered a dish that was supposed to have rice in it and when I asked her if they had forgotten it she was incredibly rude and tried to convince me it was in fact in the dish until the bus boy told her they were out of rice so it hadn’t been included. Every step of the way the service was abysmal and instead of being apologetic our waitress was dismissive and rude. Likely will not be coming back. It’s a shame because the food an scenery are great but this experience was enough to ruin the restaurant for me.

    Love this place. Our first visit was a month ago for brunch, tonight was dinner and my oh my, it was yummy. The service is excellent, great cocktails, menu is very thoughtful of vegetarian, vegan including food allergies. I am new to AZ, 7 mos in from Los Angeles and must say, the food, drinks, environment is top notch!

    I have dined at Ocotillo a number of times and was excited to share the experience with my s.o. I was disappointed that they were out of three main courses and did not offer any fish or steak options. On the positive side, our server was great and the chef was able to modify and slice the chicken dish for us.
