Macayo's Mexican Food - Chandler

I’ll start with I’ve been a lifelong macayos goer and have been to most locations and this one is by far the worst. Today I had a horrible experience with them not listening to a simple food request because of a food allergy. I had placed a phone pick up order, when I got there and noticed the allergy request was not followed I was given attitude, and when I asked for the complimentary chips and salsa that wasn’t given to me (you get them with every take out order at every location), the guy looked and me and said you ordered nachos you already have chips. By the way I ordered multiple meals for multiple people so the nachos were only for one person. Also, my other meal was wrong but I didn’t know until I got home. They put red sauce on a Baja burro, not requested nor does it come like that. When they brought me the remade nachos they were half the portion they usually are, and when I asked the manager that gave them to me if this portion looked good to her, she said they always look like that. I’ve ordered these 20+ times and have never been this skimped on. This location is terrible and so are the employees and manager. I would highly recommend going to another location. Queen creek is pretty great.

Visited family in Arizona in October, and decided to try this Mexican restaurant. We went there around 345 pm on a Thursday. We were seated right away. They were slow only a few tables in the restaurant. The chips and salsa were decent. We ordered the corn appetizer and it was delicious. I highly recommend it. The food came out super fast. I ordered the steak fajitas, which were nothing to brag about at all. I will not order them again. Not much of flavor and the meat quality was not the best. Definitely do not recommend. The other order was a vegetarian burrito, which was OK. All in all this place was OK to try once, but there are better Mexican restaurants in the area to spend your money at.

I have been a patron of Macayo's for most of my life. This location is the worst one I've been to. It took 20 minutes to take our order. I had to ask a different server to refill our drinks (twice) and then it took 45 minutes to get our food. It was cold by the time it arrived, and the food was mixed up when it was delivered. After we endured the cold food we waited for our check another 15 minutes with empty glasses. What should have been a celebration for my son's birthday was a complete let down. I have had my food discounted twice at this location for sinilar service, but not this time. My $200 dinner was not worth it. I don't think we will be returning.

Macayo's always has the best tamales. Chips and salsa were great. Service from Carlos was great. Don't know why this place isn't always packed. We went at 5pm on a Thursday though. I had beef tamales in red sauce w/ beans. Recommend the tamales. She had green chile pork stew. And he had 2 enchiladas I think. Reasonable prices. Ready to go again!

I had such a great experience at Mocayos! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome. Emily, the host, was super friendly and set the tone right away. Everyone we interacted with was attentive without being overbearing – you can really tell they care about making sure you enjoy yourself. The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor, and the prices were really reasonable too, which makes it even better. It’s not often you find a spot that nails both the service and the food, but Mocayos definitely does. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place that’s warm, inviting, and serves amazing Mexican food. I’ll definitely be back!
