Macayo's Mexican Food - Scottsdale

Macayo's is your pretty standard Mexican restaurant. We got the Signature Sampler to try a little bit of everything, and the green corn tamale bites were the real winner there – something different and really tasty. The combo fajitas were decent, the steak was nice and tender, which is always a plus. But I felt like it could have used a little more seasoning. The mini chimichangas were fine. Our server wasn't around much, probably because they seemed a little understaffed that day. Honestly, with so many other amazing Mexican food options around here, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back. But hey, if you happen to be in that shopping area and just need to grab some food, maybe if it's not too crowded, you'll have a better experience than we did.

Typical continental Mexican food place. The food was basic, the carnita chimichangas were decent, the chicken burrito was dry. What really caught us off guard was how rude and rushed the server/bartender was. The restaurant had 12 total customers with 4 workers in the front of the house, yet our server remained rushing around too busy for manners. When I said thank you while she handed me sour cream she responded with there you go. Would not recommend this place.

Service was chill, no complaints there. Food was the most bland flavorless thing we have ever had. Even the hot sauce we asked for was like tomato water. I’ve had classic white people Mexican food, but nothing as bland as this.

This Mexican restaurant offers a decent dining experience with a solid selection of classic dishes. The food is generally flavorful and well-prepared, but it doesn't quite reach the level of "exceptional."

Logan was our server. It was obvious right away that he was a new server. Many times we would ask for things, like more chips, extra salsa, and sour cream with our meal, we would eventually get the things we asked for but it took quite a while for them to come or we had to remind him that we had requested it. Normally my experience at this location is usually a great one. However, this experience with this server was not a joyful one, but only because we didn't have a good server. The good news is this will not deter me from coming back to the restaurant. Hopefully the next time I return Logan will be a better server or I will have a different server that is much improved. Thank you.
