    The birria style quesadillas was unreal and the tacos were filled with meat. I would definitely recommend Gordo's if you want so authentic Mexican food. They were also very nice and helpful.

    I should have taken a before picture but I was so focused on just eating it!! lol it was phenomenal!

    I just went here for the first time. I ordered the Carne asada fries and OH MY GOODNESS!! It was so amazing! It was the perfect combination of melted cheese, guacamole, and avocado sauce! The carne asada tasted so freshly grilled! Even my husband took a bite and was blown away! The girls that work there were so nice! They both had such big smiles on their faces! The restaurant itself was so nice And clean! would recommend this place to anyone! Seriously 100/10!

    Tacos were delicious. Birria and pastor on point. Mexican street corn was a good sized serving. It's casual atmosphere with quick service.

    If you want the best birria tacos in Scottsdale this is the place nice big tortillas filled with their delicious shredded beef great consume good amount of cheese but other than that the food is bad the Vampiro tacos cheese was burnt meat was dry the asada taco was just gross seems like the meat has been there all day and their Nashville chicken taco was a super overcooked I know if I'm in the area I'm definitely stopping for those tacos though

    Queso & Chips

    A gem. So, so delicious. I was on the hunt for somewhere with queso, and that was a hard thing to find surprisingly to my Wisconsin self. We finally found Gordo's and booooyyy am I glad that we did. Truly delicious. Everything was SO flavorful. Homemade queso that was just wonderful. Truly not a single complaint. Kind service, and a clean, large space. 10/10 recommend this one.

    The Food and the service were great! The homemade chips are delish. The kids meal is more of a mini adult meal. We will be back!

    Crispy papas tacos
    Mike L.

    Came on a Saturday for lunch. Not too busy so we had our pick of where to sit. Menu had quite the variety of options. We definitely rang up the bill with our choices. Food came out quickly and tasted delicious. Our favorites were the crispy papas tacos, Al pastor, Baja fish, carne asada, and OG burrito. We would consider coming back when in the area again.

    It was good but the Chicken Taco meat was dry. I am guessing it was heated up from the prior day.

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.

    I planned a dinner party for a group of 13 and explored hosting it at this restaurant…read more Unfortunately, the required minimums for a private event were outside of our budget, and the private‑party structure didn't align with what we needed. Instead, we opted for their take‑home catering, which ended up being an excellent alternative. The online ordering process was straightforward, and the party‑package options made selecting our menu very easy. The food itself was flavorful and well‑received by our group. The only drawback was the pickup experience. Despite arrwaiting in line, we were intentionally passed over for service with no explanation, which was disappointing. Overall, the catering quality was strong, but the in‑person service at pickup could be improved.

The street corn was absolutely delicious, creamy and flavorful 10/10 - they also had Mexican coke which I enjoyed The vibe inside the restaurant is nice. 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. I would come here again!

It was just thick enough and delicious! The chips were crispy, light and very lightly salted. The guacamole is outstanding! Best I've ever had!! We decided to share a carne asada quesadilla. Glad we shared because it was big! Lots of cheese...lots of meat. We wrapped it up with churros. They have caramel goo in the middle and are served warm. I didn't like goo and squeezed it out. My husband loved it. He also loved his tequila old fashioned. Something different. Something good. The decor is cool...lots of art, really funky. All the other diners were friendly so it was comfortable for two tourists who stumbled in based on a Yelp review. Isaiah welcomed us and told us the story of the place. He provided quick service and was attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely return on our next trip. Be aware that it's a tiny little place and the entrance is in the back.

Only con to me was that the salsa was not my favorite, but it was still delicious!

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.

    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.
