    This place was so busy! We went at 4:30 and got on the waitlist. We waited 50 minutes to get a table but there were 9 of us. Our server was really nice and got everyone's orders accurate. We had the Brussels sprout nachos, grilled shrimp tacos, ceviche, steak quesadilla, and deviled eggs. Everyone enjoyed their meal very much. The food had nice flavor and the perfect amount of spice. The skinny margaritas were also super good. This place is very trendy and very popular with tourists so expect a wait but overall I would say it's worth the wait.

    Ate here for brunch and waited about 45 minutes walking in on a busy Friday afternoon. Service was nice, but the food was okay. Loved the plantains with the chips and dips, but the horchata was very sweet. It was difficult to taste the braised green chili chicken in the house burrito, but the California burrito was really good. Highly recommend trying the sauces on the table! Overall, it's a cute restaurant to go to for a bachelorette since it's near Old Town, but the food is alright.

    We were planning to have breakfast in a nearby, very popular place, but after hearing the queue was closer to 2 hours, we changed our plan and entered Diego Pops without any waiting time. What a great surprise it provided, and made us wanting to come back hete soon again. Very nice ambience with indoor and (mist) patio areas, and the most courteous and professional service. Food was tasty, tex mex style, and there were nice drinks too. Location is fabulous although it might be slightly challenging to find parking slot nearby. It is in general nice to just roam the Old Town streets in any case, so that is of no concern. As commented, we will be back soon again.

    Always a fun energetic vibe. The staff is friendly, happy hour specials are great, I always order chicken tacos, I recently tried the shrimp and I was blown away how tasty they were. Fun time for cinco De Mayo as well.

    This place has a great vibe, especially if you sit on the garden patio. The decor is "poppy" and fun. The food arrives quickly which is also nice. I would skip the drinks unless you're getting a margarita. Our server wasn't very attentive which likely attributed to the three star review. The food is ok. Nothing super special. Loved that they didn't put cilantro on everything. Sorry, I'm that girl. lol

    Went on a week long vacation to Scottsdale, and it was a MUST to try out Diego pops! We had been at wonderspaces and decided we needed a quick bite before dinner. We got margaritas and the Brussels sprout nachos! TO DIE FOR!!! Service was quick and staff was friendly! Fun lively atmosphere. Great happy hour specials. We walked right in and had no wait!

    People have dog me because I tell everyone that Diego pops is my favorite place for tacos. When I go out to eat, I like to feel welcome. I like to experience the most exciting dishes with the restaurant has offer and dear the Mom has great variety. You name it. You get out of here calamari they got it. Do you want tacos? they have it not sure what else they have. I usually just put the tacos to be honest, but the appetizer are what I love because you can go crazy on the appetizers, it doesn't matter what appetizer it's a perfect appetizer so you gotta do that and of course, the churro at the end the best churro possibly that I have ever had it was just perfect. I believe it was a strawberry. Everybody has their pics for best taco in the valley. Mine is Diego Pops because it's a good atmosphere. I guess I'm just more about feeling comfortable sometimes and at Diego pops I feel at home. like that.

    Brussels Sprouts Fact: In 2014, competitive eater Emma Dalton ate 325 Brussels sprouts in 36 minutes. Although Guinness World Records didn't officially confirm her record, this is the largest known quantity of sprouts consumed in one sitting. I've been wanting to pop in here for the longest time. Who in Arizona doesn't know their iconic Brussels Sprouts Nachos (Street corn queso, queso oaxaca, fresno chili, pickled onion, roasted garlic beet crema, fried egg)? At the table is a generous offering of more hot sauces but more importantly, they have a giant squeeze bottle of that pretty-in-pink hued roasted garlic beet crema. Squeeze more on, cracking that egg, and dig in! It was bite after bite of pure bliss. The table also shared some ceviche and I got a crispy fish taco on the side. It was an amazingly delicious evening with some colleagues. Diego Pops has a 4.1 star rating on yelp with over 2.7k reviews. I get the hype and the hype is so well deserved! They also have a great Happy Hour special (7 days a week from 3pm-6pm): 1/2 off appetizers, $2 off beers, $6 Diego Margaritas , and $6 wine and sangrias.

    Had my first Sonoran dog here. Found the menu had a good variety everything we tried was tasty. Ate outside. The wire chairs are not very comfortable. They limit your stay to two hours and you might not want to sit in them mud linger than that anyway. Service was fine. They keep busy

    I have tried Diego Pops a few times before and I didn't really care for it. But the past two times that we have visited have been 10/10 experiences. I think it's because of the time we visited in the past. In the past, we have gone in the evening hours and it was way too packed and because of that, the quality tends to follow the chaos of the guests. Regardless, I'm giving them a 10/10 rating because their tacos are incredible! Their drinks are great and the service ESPECIALLY when you sit at the bar is grade A! The gentleman that was working the bar was incredible and it made our visit very pleasant! Thank goodness we finally found our taco spot! The vibe inside is really cute. My absolute favorite thing about the restaurant is the AMAZING SAUCES! I am a condiment girl and can't eat food without it! Amazing sauces! Love them! The green chili chicken taco was my favorite! Pair it with the beet sauce (pink) and it's *chefs kiss!!!!

    I visited Diego Pops on a Bachelorette Party and absolutely loved it. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I picked out this spot, but I really did enjoy it, as did the rest of the group. The vibes were awesome and they did a great job accommodating for our larger party! Food and drinks both exceeded expectations and the pricing seemed fair for what we got. If you're looking for a fun ambiance with indoor and outdoor space, go for Diego Pops!

    Quesadilla with Beef Mahaca and Street Corn
    Skylar F.

    A hungry group of girls wandered into Diego Pops and we ended up having such a fun time. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, which made it a great spot for our group. The quesadilla was incredible and the chips and salsa were amazing. They also have an assortment of sauces that are definitely worth trying. Everything we sampled there was packed with flavor. The only things that didn't quite hit for us were the Brussels sprout salad, which didn't have the best flavor balance, and the taco bowl, which was surprisingly a bit bland. The taquitos only came with three and were pretty good (yummy meat and crunchy shell) but the lettuce was a bit sour. But honestly overall experience was fun and yummy. Service was fast and efficient. Wonderful:) Overall we loved the experience and would absolutely come back.

    Food is pretty basic. Prices are not bad for old town. Service was great. Atmosphere was your old town vibe. The menu is small and simple which I love. We got happy hour app pricing, that was pretty great. But the bowls and tacos were mediocre. The Sonoran dog was a sad excuse for a Sonoran dog. It was like a Nathan's hot dog with guac and beans on top. Nothing like a real Sonoran dog, starting with the bread. It was just hotdog bread, honestly shouldn't be called a Sonoran dog. And it was $9. That was pretty pricey.

    Does anyone know if Diego Pops is open for Labor Day?

    Is this place dog friendly?

    Yes. They have a patio area

    Can you modify menu items to accommodate allergies or preferences? E.g. remove cheese and cream to make dairy free.

    Yes, Im allergic to milk not lactose intolerance and they accommodated all my needs

    Would I be able to get a table for party of 13 for Saturday for dinner?

    They can definitely accommodate that size. The question is if they have it booked or not already. Call ahead do not try to book online and as far in advance as possible. Make resos and for the rest of everyone reading this the next several months… Read more

    Do they take Reservations?

    How do you make a reservation?

    They don't do reservations unless its a larger party, just show up and put your name in

    Is happy hour just at the bar?

    No. Happy hour is throughout the restaurant.

Super nice and attentive. There were only two people working that I could see, a gentleman who may have been the manager and a young lady. The man was so respectful and helpful when we said it was our first time. He pulled out the menu and went through it with us. The wall menu is also super helpful. As the tacos are mostly over $6 each, I noticed they have a combo for two tacos, a side and a drink. Great deal if you add two tacos, guac & chips and a drink up separately and compare to the regular price. I ordered the CHIMICHURRI STEAK* grilled steak, basmati rice, chimichurri, avocado, pickled fresnos, queso fresco, flour tortilla. I found this flavorful but I didn't thoroughly read about the rice. I don't care for rice in my tacos. But other than that. I liked it. I also ordered the HATCH CHILE PORK. guac, poblano slaw, pickled fresnos, queso fresco, micro cilantro, corn tortilla This was nice & spicy. Tortillas and all the ingredients seamed very fresh. For my side I ordered the guac and chips. The guac is delicious. Very refreshing. I think the chips are store bought but they are blue corn which I prefer anyway. My husband ordered the GRILLED SALMON. napa slaw, lime crema, pickled fresnos, corn pico, avocado crema, micro cilantro, corn tortilla. He said it was delicious. He also ordered the QUESA BIRRIA. pulled pork, gruyere, queso listo, pickled red onion, micro cilantro, griddled corn tortilla, birria consomé for dipping. He said it was good but lacked flavor. My only negative, and I don't want to necessarily blame the staff as it is the owner's duty to hire enough staff to care for the place. But the floors had little pieces of food spilled everywhere and the tables were sticky. Same with the soda and condiments area. It needs a good cleaning through day. The staff were super busy making food and serving guests. They need to add an additional employee to assist these guys. I'm sure we will be back at some point.

The only drawback was the pickup experience. Despite arrwaiting in line, we were intentionally passed over for service with no explanation, which was disappointing.

Very open and lots of seating indoor and outdoor. The decode is cute and they have a lot of tvs to watch sports game. The server was kind and attentive as she could be with how busy it was.

First of all, eating anywhere in Tempe, starts with a frustrating time.... Trying to find parking and having to pay to park. I don't understand why restaurants don't have parking for customers.

It's 105 today and the restaurant is so small, it's probably impossible to keep cool during the summer. Finally, the food. It all tastes very fresh! NO SEED OILS is amazing. I feel like I have won something when I find a restaurant that uses olive oil and beef tallow to cook in. Best corn tortillas I have had for sure. We basically tried one of each taco. (Although some of the tacos we ordered were wrong, so we just kept adding) not a big deal, because they were delicious and we loved them. I felt like the carne was chewy but my husband loves chewier meat. The taco with the marlin was my favorite. And the one that came out kind of like a cheese crisp. It's loud in here and again the space is very small. They do not serve wine at all. But yummy margaritas! The bartender is working solo and working hard! She busted her butt and did an amazing job.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. 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.

    Our bartender Angel was AMAZING! I said I wanted spicy and he absolutely delivered. Between the…read moredrinks and food, he made our taste buds and tummy's happy. Plus, great customer service. Thank you Angel!
