Macayo's Mexican Food - Glendale

The service was amazing. She was pleasant, quick, available, and got our order correct. While quick and fresh, the food was hit or miss. Tortilla soup was very good. Lots of huge chunks of chicken and lots of fresh avocado. The chips were fresh and crispy. Super thin how I like them. My husband did not care for how thin they were. The hit sauce was decent. The salsa has decent flavor but was way to liquidy. Needs chunks in it. Kids kraft Mac and cheese was standard. Fries were under cooked. Ranch was meh. Chile relleno was very small. I'm glad I got the sauce on the side because it was gross. The enchilada trio was eh. The insides simply didn't matter or stand out. Surprisingly, we did not like the green sauce at all. The red sauce was not good. The Baja sauce, was by far the best thing we had. The iced tea was fresh. Pricing was good. We won't be back, mainly because there are better options in the vicinity. But service was top notch and worth mentioning again.

As always the food was really good. The service was great. We came in for a pickup order and 2 different staff members asked what we were there for. As soon as we told them the went to the kitchen to see if it was complete. 10 mins of waiting and the food was hot and fresh. Everything was exactly as ordered. I have been coming to this Macayo's for 20 years If I can remember correctly. I dont think I have ever had a true bad experience. If you have never been here you need to give it a chance.

By far the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. 0 exaggeration. We both ordered the Chimichanga with shredded beef. "Where's the beef??" When I pressed my fork to cut into it.. it deflated. Just like a popped balloon it was now flat. I would say approximately 3 tablespoons of beef. Same for hers. Taste wise, everything was bad...really bad.Rice was ridiculously dry. Refried beans looked like dry mud and the little beef it had tasted like cheap hot sauce. We both decided to give this place a try because it looks nice from the outside. Well.. it's the biggest front you'll experience. If it weren't for my girlfriend, you wouldn't of gotten a dime out of me. That's cafeteria Mexican food. I can go to my Filobertos drive thru and their chimichanga is 3x the size of yours packed with beef and it tastes great. To whomever reads this, do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. This place is horrible! At no point did our server ask if we liked our food or anything. She most already know. If I could a negative 4 stars, you'd be that place that earned it very well.

Got it delivered. Over $3 for a 3 oz container of guacamole that has 1 ounce one it. Tacos are miserable tasting and looking. Where are the toppings to go in my $17 tacos? Why are the tortillas missing? I don't recommend this place in any capacity. Update. YUCK!

A Saturday night, and I thought maybe the place was closed because the parking lot was empty. They were open, but the place was practically empty. We’ve been to Macayos many times and I have always enjoyed the food. Our hostess seated us in the bar area which was fine. It took forever to get our food. There was no bartender for much of the time we were in there. They got my wife’s order wrong- which meant more waiting. It definitely seemed like they were understaffed. This seems to be not uncommon for many restaurants and it’s a shame if this lack of management dooms a historic place like Macayo’s.
