Loved the decor, service was very good, fun concept of the margarita candy bar, the food was good but we probably would try something different next time. We had the street tacos and although they were good we've definitely had better. The Baja
Not worth going back to.
While the ambiance looks great, the food for value leaves you wanting. We started with Melina's street corn and should have left there. Overpriced wouldn't even cover it. $12 for one corn cob and the saddest part, less than 25% was seasoned

Delicious authentic Mexican!
We were in town briefly for the Seahawks vs Cardinals game and we always find a Mexican place while on the West Coast. This one was one of the best! we started with the chips and salsa. The chips were crispy and on the thicker side which was great f

I visited on Monday night (9/22/25) and the food was delicious as usual and the server was good; however, what made this trip so special was the attention the manager (didn't get his name unfortunately) to my 2 young daughters! They were ogling

The food was tasty the ambience was vibrant and energetic, the service was friendly but slightly understaffed, otherwise it would have been a 5 star experience. Overall I would recommend if you like an energetic dining experience.
I loved the wonderful atmosphere and friendly service.
We ordered seafood tostadas, and they were so fresh and crispy. Everyone raved about the empanadas and the birria burritos. For dessert, the churros were cute and fun, crispy and juicy. I can say I was completely satisfied with the service and delici

I was in town for my mom's birthday and did a little research beforehand to find the perfect spot to celebrate. I'll be real, coming from SoCal, I'm a bit of a food snob, and I usually struggle to find solid eats in AZ. I thought all h

I have 2 updates since my last review in 2024.
We went back when they reopened after the unfortunate fire. New menu! They had all day happy hour and taco Thursdays. We went on a Sunday and they had dancers and robots, it was pretty crazy. Too loud for me but it was definitely a fun environment. T
Claudia Itzel made the whole experience outstanding.
She was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about providing excellent service. The food was fantastic as always, but Claudia really made the visit memorable. Can't wait to come back!
Stopped by for happy hour the other day.
Love how their HH goes from 11-6 everyday. Bar area only, but if you get there early enough you can grab a seat (it does get crowded closer to 4/430). Everyone that works here is always really friendly and the vibe is always on point. The happy hour
One of our fav places!!!! Great happy hour! Eddie R.
is our fav, love when we get lucky enough to have him as our server! Great food, great drinks, great vibes.
Great happy hour.
Nachos are on point! Tacos satisfy. Margaritas for six bucks. Yes ma'am. And they are good. Five star service from Kayla, our midwestern gal. Just enough attention that we never waited for anything. Giving this a four star because the
Went there for an early lunch on Sunday.
Happy was available!! I had the chicken and beef tacos from hr menu. They were both delicious and very large We shared the chili con queso and it was also delicious Had a unique cheese in it and it was great The place was so cute and very colo
Excellent food and excellent service by Camden.
Only compliant is that the music was too loud to allow easy conversation.
My friend and I went in for a weekend lunch.
Our server, Claudia, was the best! She was quick, friendly, and super fun! She gave us drink recommendations and it was an overall great experience.
I hope the Margaritas are amazing, because the food is not.
Plain spoken, no thanks. The appetizer, Queso w/ chorizo and poblanos served with handmade tortillas. Delicious! Chips and salsa, salsa is a chipotle heavy onion favor, but very good. Three entrees were purchased and it was a lot of food. One chick
Great Food and Fun Atmosphere
This was the best Mexican food we had in Arizona. The restaurant provided the best location for us to meet for dinner and catch up with family. The atmosphere was lively and fun although could be loud when DJ or band is playing. We never felt rushed
100% YES
AMAZING! The food is very good. Everything is very fresh and their menu is thoughtfully crafted. On top of that, the atmosphere is beautiful and vibrant. The GM Will is outstanding and takes care of everyone in the restaurant. He made our visit very
Disappointing Cinco de Mayo Experience
Our visit was deeply underwhelming. The music was so loud that it made conversation at our table nearly impossible. Service was equally disappointing—we waited over 30 minutes just to receive water and place a drink order. The biggest letdown, howe

Excellent in service, George was perfect, food - Queso Birria phenomenal, Queso Fundido yum. Happy Hour has some real deals and it starts at 11:30 AM. Across the board excellence, bravo! A bit too loud to hear each other.

My food was very good and so was everyone else's.
The restaurant was a little noisy but it has more of a go out for drinks after work feel. The service started slow to start having to wait 30 minutes just for drinks. After we ordered our meals service picked up however.

Perfect place to have my friend's birthday party for 20 of us. They took our reservation and we all got to sit together on this high top area right next to the kitchen. They had one server taking care of us so the service was slow. We keep having
Our family LOVES, LOVES THIS PLACE! Every time we come
Our family LOVES, LOVES THIS PLACE! Every time we come here whatever we order, it is fantastic! The salsa and chips are to die for. The birria tacos and burritos are outstanding too - I can see why they use an expletive to explain them on the menu
We just ate here for Father's Day.
Great food, great atmosphere. My kids loved the Birria tacos! And our server, Amy, was fantastic! We love this place! We come here a lot!

I am so sad I went here for a meal right before my flight home. Next time I am coming here everyday of my visit. We were about 12 total with three kids. Called and made a 5:30 pm reservation at 4 pm. We were seated promptly outside on a high top tabl

I can't remember what the food tasted like, so I will only provide my feedback on the ambience. The Mexicano is a beautiful restaurant, but the music is so loud that it's nearly impossible to have a conversation without raising our voices. Our group
I am speechless! I don't know where to start.
We were seated as soon as we walked in. Our server Geronimo was so generous on taking our order. It was our first time and he gave us great recommendations. The food, OMG everything has amazing flavor, cook to perfection. We were greeted by Chris tow

I used to like this place a lot better when it was happy hour all the time at the bar and the well tequila was better. We still always have a nice time, but happy hour is much more limited now and the well tequila isn't drinkable. The nachos are al

My husband hyped up this place, saying the food and atmosphere were so great. The food, service, and whole experience was awful. I would never write a negative review about just one thing going wrong but it seemed to be everything that went wrong. We
Great Food, But Very Loud
The Mexicano is a great choice if you're looking for tasty Mexican. The complimentary chips and salsa were a good start - we'd never had such a uniquely flavored salsa, and our server told us that it was the best in the Valley. The Ensalada Fresca wa
Just OK but not as promised.
The food was good. We ate outdoors. Ordered chicken fajitas. The server neglected to tell us of surcharges to the dish. It amounted to $5.00 over the price which was $28 .00. I think $33.00 for chicken fajitas was over the top. They were good but tha
Amazing food! Must make reservation
This place definitely knows how to deliver good food. Every thing that I ordered was on point. Ambience is fun and rather loud. We went there on Friday night and there was fire eating lady walking around to entertain. Service was ok, but considering
Fabulous place for families couples or business associates !
We dined with our children and grandchildren. This dinner was a highlight of our trip. Fabulous upbeat Mexican music, inviting ambience and great food and drink, including great service from David. We will be back as a family as well as my entertaini
Great Happy Hour
This has quickly become one of my favorite places for Happy Hour . The food and drinks are great and very reasonable at Happy Hour. Noah was so friendly and engaging working at the bar. I hope they promote him to full time bartender. He really made

Connect with users posting reservations for The Mexicano Scottsdale
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Mexicano Scottsdale. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Mexicano Scottsdale at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Mexicano Scottsdale page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at The Mexicano Scottsdale to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Mexicano Scottsdale!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
