   If you're thinking about eating at the Mexicano, just do it. It's a wonderful spot, everything is delicious. For someone who really doesn't care for shrimp, I can say their shrimp cocktail is spectacular and I couldn't get enough. Love this place.

   We had five people. The queso and guacamole were awesome. The entree dishes were very good too. On a few occasions we have been placed at tables that small/tight - especially with 5 people. Finally, we feel it’s slightly over-priced.

   Good food as usual, but what happened to the huge quesadillas? Music is waaay too loud!

   Thank you for joining us at our temporary location, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food! We apologize for not being able to offer the Machetes due to kitchen limitations, but we’ll definitely have them available once our Cactus location reopens. We appreciate your feedback regarding the music volume, and we hope to welcome you back soon and provide an even better experience.

   1st time and we can’t wait to get back. Knowing this is the same owners/company of Hash Kitchen, I was a bit hesitant it was just going to be “fun”, but it was outstanding food, not too loud (unlike Hash Kitchen where you can’t hear yourself think), and just amazing all around. New favorite. Best Mexican food I’ve had in AZ, and I’m from San Diego where out standard is very high.

   Everything was great, the pop up location was just as good as the original spot. Food was delicious and service was so quick and friendly. My husband and friends loved building their own margaritas ! We will be back !

   Went for my daughter’s birthday. Was so excited as we love the first location. This was disappointing. Server was nice but the food took forever, 20 minutes plus for a cocktail to hit the table. Food was underwhelming in general. Unfortunately we won’t be back.

   I made a reservation and it said on the open table only 4 spots left and the restaurant was empty, I also put down on the reservation it was my Birthday the hostess did not even acknowledge my reservation even though I said I had a reservation and it was in the notes that is was my Birthday celebration. Then we both got enchiladas, except mine was only cheese, and my partner ordered an enchilada with chicken.  The food runner had no clue which enchilada was which. If your running food you should know what dish is what not just enchiladas. Also you should READ Notes if a person says they have a reservation. The table behind me got a Birthday dish and mine in my reservation was not even acknowledged. I did not say anything to the server because when you make a reservation and say it’s a special occasion and a Birthday they should READ.

   I recently had the pleasure of dining and I must say, it was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff greeted me with genuine smiles. The menu was full of enticing options, making it difficult to choose just one dish. After much deliberation, I decided on the ribeye tacos. I don’t know. But the food was just the beginning of the exceptional experience I had at this restaurant. The service was impeccable, with our server, Henry, going above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, making our dining experience truly memorable. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was delightful. I will definitely be returning soon to try more of their delectable dishes. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!

   Restaurant is still closed, very disappointed that we had seen mentioned online that they were open again. Super disappointing.

    I made a reservation weeks ahead of time, received a text to confirm the reservation, drove an hour to the restaurant and they were closed. Would have been nice for them to either not take reservations or notify their reservations that they would be closed so that other plans could be made and/or save us the long drive.
