    Chips and Salsa's.
    Paul B.

    I've been wanting to check this restaurant out for some time while home in the Valley. Had no idea it was once a George's Ole. When I lived in Arizona in the late '60's and '70"s George's Ole on E. 48th Street and Indian School Rd. near our house was my favorite Mexican restaurant. Aunt Childadas keeps the tradition alive. Food was exceptional, the service as great and the ambiance was fantastic. Felt like I was home back in the day again. See you on my next visit.

    Raspberry margarita

    I came here with a big group so they had ordered some family style meals. The food was all delicious. I loved the queso and chips... ate a ton of it. The salad was actually one of my favorite parts. The ranch was so tasty. I got a raspberry margarita that was divine. The environment was really fun. The patio out front looks like a great space for happy hour. The entire restaurant is gigantic so there's always bound to be an open table. Really had a fun time. Service was great with definitely come back here.

    Sun a great spot, huge patio and the birds are delightful. Our server was friendly and not too pushy and our food came out quick! The skinny margaritas are quite nice along with the Avocado Chicken Salad and Shrimp Lettuce wraps. Great for lunch date! Don't forget you can bring your pup!!

    Had a delicious lunch in a beautiful atmosphere! The service was great, the bougainvillea was beautiful, the birds were funny (flying by with tortilla chips and dipping them in the fountain). The food was delicious! I enjoyed the house made chips and salsa with black olives. I got the jalapeño ranch salad with chicken, which was great and fresh. My friend got the pineapple stuffed shrimp, which was unique and amazing- she let me try it! I would highly recommend this beautiful spot.

    Aunt Chilada's in Phoenix is such a vibe. The place is huge, with a fun, lively atmosphere that instantly feels like a classic Southwest spot. The food was on point - the street corn was so good, perfectly seasoned and addicting. I also loved that they serve flour tortilla chips, which you almost never see anymore, and they were amazing. The cheese crisp was everything... crispy, cheesy, and honestly something you just can't get in Los Angeles, so it felt extra special. Great portions, great flavors, and a spot that feels uniquely Arizona.

    Margs on the patio
    Sarah S.

    Good things at Aunt Chilada's: big and unique space, dog friendly patio, margs, chips and salsa I had a fish taco and a cheese enchiladas. The fish taco had no flavor and the fish was these tiny fried pieces -like the bottom of the barrel. The enchilada was smothered in red sauce which was terrible. I could barely eat it and the little I did eat I couldn't get that sauce taste out of my mouth and the cheese was globby. Also ordered guac and that was also tasteless. It needed citrus, salt and spice. If I ever come back it will only be for an apps and margs.

    Chips
    Brad W.

    Ok...returned here for the first time in years and food was great. The outdoor bar was open, tables were full and a band was playing on a recent Friday night. The chips of course are still great and the main dish of a chicken enchilada and a Piccadilly taco were top notch. Nice bartender too.

    Mexican candy
    Ashley L.

    We've been here plenty, and it's always the same story: they show up, they deliver, and I leave wondering why other spots can't figure out basic consistency. This time we sat inside because the patio misters weren't on yet. Angelo was our server, and he kept it tight: quick greet, drinks in before I had a chance to start side-eyeing the chips basket like a raccoon. I ordered the Mexican Candy: Blanco tequila, watermelon purée, pineapple juice, Tajín rim, lime. And yes, it really tastes like Mexican candy. Sweet, tart, a little spicy, basically childhood nostalgia with a tequila chaser. I don't even like watermelon, but here it makes sense. This is what happens when someone actually knows how to balance flavors instead of just tossing fruit in a blender and praying. Now, the chips and salsa. Still undefeated. The salsa has black olives in it, which sounds weird until you try it, and then it just makes sense. Pro tip: ask for the hot salsa. Mix it in for the perfect burn, but pace yourself unless you're into self-inflicted pain. And the flour tortilla chips? Fluffy, crispy, airy, basically the glow-up corn chips could only dream of. Once you've had these, regular tortilla chips just feel like punishment. Main event: the breakfast quesadilla. Eggs, cheese, picadillo as my protein, plus beans and potatoes. No pics, because it didn't stand a chance. The cheese was molten, the eggs weren't overcooked into sad rubber, and the picadillo tasted like someone's abuela actually smacked the cook with a wooden spoon until they seasoned it right. Tortilla hit that golden-brown crispy perfection. Beans? Smooth and flavorful. Potatoes? Actual seasoning, not just "salt and despair." Bottom line: this place doesn't miss. Just straight-up good food, strong drinks, and flour chips so good they make every other chip feel like a sad afterthought. This is why we keep coming back: because they actually know what the hell they're doing.

    Not even a shrimp fan, but this was DELICIOUS.

    Phenomenal food. Really. We came with 22 guests (!) when our elderly relatives had made a reservation several weeks prior, in person (but somehow the hostess forgot to write it down) and they still took us all in on a moment's notice after saying there was no such reservation when we all showed up. My shrimp cocktail was out of this world. Everyone said their food was amazing. (As designated driver I didn't drink but I heard the cocktails were just OK.) They had a HUGE menu for liquor and cocktails. The environment is incredibly festive. The only improvement we see could be made are: 1) write reservations down; and 2) fix those horrible seats in the dining room. You sink well into the seat, past the wood frame of the chair, so the wood cuts off the circulation on your legs as you sit because the cushions are so old they have no more support or give, they just sink you right into a square wooden hole and everyone in our party complained about it.

    Cheese Crisp

    Delicious food! Cheese crisp is delicious and the refried beans are 10/10!! Love the dog friendly patio too

    Dinner and margaritas! (They forgot my salt rim)
    Jessamy P.

    The patio and restaurant has bright, vibrant colors and a straw bar roof giving the illusion that you are in vacation in Mexico. The restaurant is very spread out and has plenty of seating, but sadly not enough servers. On our visit it was a Monday at about 5pm. It took about 10 minutes for someone to come for our drink order, at which time we ordered our food as well. We ordered margaritas which were very tasty and the best part of our visit, but sadly we weren't able to get a second one because of the lack of service. The salsa is good but has olives in it (??) And is VERY mild. We had to ask for hot salsa to add some spice to it. The flour chips were very crispy and AMAZING. My chicken enchiladas were a tad spicy and very basic. Beans were good but rice was dry and not so flavorful. My husband ordered the chicken chimichanga and took about 2 bites, he said it was terrible. They had an open mic night on the bar side of the patio which looked like fun. If we were to return it would not be for the food or the service, but for the ambiance and layout. This would be more of an appetizer and drinks kind of place for us. One thing that I will say is that the host was very nice, he allowed my 4 year old to take a rubber ducky from the fountain and said there is a treasure box that young kids can choose a toy from after they eat as well! So great for kids!

    The food was amazing, large portions and good quality. The service was very well and the ambience was great. Also, it is really interesting to read about the history of this building and how it used to be a brothel and a trade mining store and how the area receive their name What I didn't like about the restaurant was we were located near the banquet and the door was open and the people in there were really really loud maybe a birthday party for women Breault shower I don't know so that was frustrating. Also, the ceiling is super super dirty. It really needs to get all that stuff scraped off of it and painted because it's so brown and not because of paint so that was kind of gross to look at what we ate, but besides that it's a super large restaurant very clean otherwise we really enjoyed it and I would definitely suggest people to come here.

But I wanted something hearty after donating blood the day before at Phoenix Fan Fusion. I felt like I didn't eat enough to replenish all of the corpuscles I shed, so a hearty late breakfast was in order. I was pleasantly thrilled with my choice of Presidio Cocina Mexicana, as the late breakfast I ordered did not disappoint! I ordered the Chilaquiles, which are essentially breakfast nachos, and you have a choice of protein to add. I chose the birria beef which was perfectly slow-cooked and complemented the corn tortilla chips, cheese, and eggs superbly. I opted for both the red chile and green chile sauce which coated the chips along with a generous layer of tangy cotija cheese. I asked for the eggs scrambled and they cooked them just how I like them... fairly dry and in a thin griddled layer. Add to this mound of well-seasoned goodness a decent dolloping of Tapatio hot sauce (and salt and pepper on the eggs) and I had endless perfect bites of spicy, meaty brekkie goodness that brought delighted yummy sounds from my grateful gullet! This was quality food and the couple at the bar next to me raved about the Menudo, so it has all the hallmarks of authentic Mexican fare. It restored me from borderline anemic to my usual strutting rugged caballero self. "¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!"

It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
