Great selection of traditional Mexican fair and some excellent specialty dishes. Faja Pasta, Barrio Tacos, Pizza blanco, and Pollo Rico are some of our favorite dishes. The kids love it too. Pretty much a weekly event for us now. read more

Good food, shredded bed tacos are awesome, rice is great and they have Mr. Pibb !! Yay. Run out of salsa before chips but the do get you some more. A little slow in the kitchen. Always have cold water in a pitcher on the table. The seating seems a little cramped read more

Food is served hot and lots of it. Never leave w/o taking some home for another day. Servers are attentive. Atmosphere is friendly Decor and bathrooms are clean and up to date. Seating in bar can be a bit on noisy side but to be expected when friends have drinks and laughs. Family friendly, too. read more

Food is amazing!! Staff is very welcoming and helpful! They have a fantastic happy hour, prices are not bad. I went a lot when I was pregnant and the kitchen never had an issue for changing mine from corn to flour tortillas. read more

I've been coming to nandos for a few yrs now, I can say I've never eaten a bad meal from here! The service however is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The last couple times I've come in a few of the staff has been a little rude. read more

This is by far our favorite place to go to in the east valley. The chips and salsa are always spot on. Plenty of margarita options but the house margarita is very good. We usually go in large groups and the staff is always very accommodating and the service is always top notch. I tend to judge a Mexican food restaurant by their ability to make a good chili relleno and they do not dissapoint. I always have a hard time deciding what to get because everything I have ordered was great each and every time. My wife and I come for lunch occasionally and split the nachos and we can never finish them. Nandos will remain our go to place!!! read more

The Food is GREAT! We at Boeing Like Nando's. Best service Ever!

I stopped by this well known restaurant for the first time yesterday for a quick lunch. I ordered the mini shrimp chimi's from the appetizer menu. My taste buds were ecstatic! The shrimp was a good size, the crispy tortilla around the chimi's was delightfully crisp. The dip for this treat was a cream cheese sauce that had so much flavor I could not stop eating it! Needless to say after my satisfying meal I asked for a take out menu so I could tell my husband about this wonderful restaurant. We went to Nando's for dinner tonight and I had the numero cinco while my husband had the hefe chimi burrito. His burrito was so big that he could not finish it-a first for my hearty eating man. My enchiladas were so cheesy I had to wrap the cheese around my fork. The best enchiladas I have ever tasted. I was thrilled that there was a layer of cheese over my beans as con queso are two of my favorite words. Thank you Nando's for bringing authentic homemade mexican food to the valley. I can't wait to go back. read more

Boring, bland, old-style typical Mexican food. If you can't drive someplace better than Nando's (Los Dos, Tia Rosa, Taco Bell - HA!) just save your money. read more

Extremely good food! I've been here a handful of times and have yet to experience anything bad. Even though every time we go, they are busy, we still receive great service. Being a former bartender, I must admit that they make the best margaritas, and I love my tequila!! Thanks for the great food and service, Nandos! read more

Took my family here this past weekend and yuck! The chips were disgusting greasy. the salsa, flavorless. they had happy our and we were sitting in a booth and the waiter told us that if we wanted happy hour price we either had to be on the patio [ it was raining with no covering ouside] or sitting at the bar, or we could go up to the bar and order a drink and come back to our booth. It was the stupidest thing ever! the food did suck horribly! and so did the service! read more

Food just isn't very good, too salty as another reviewer said previously. Not very authentic either, think of an upscale version of your favorite Taco Bell entree. Dishes lack spice and substance. Even my margarita was weak. I wasn't amused. Prices were on the higher side of things, and service was just OK. Took a business party here for lunch and I won't be back. read more

its near Red Mountain Ranch area- which is a few blocks away- As excited as we were to have a "Mexican place" near by open- we were very, let me say this again- VERY disappointed!!!!! The decor is great, the outside patio is great- the service was fine- So...what is the problemo??? THE FOOD!!!! We on purpose ordered everything from Fish ( tasted like frozen who knows what) to Chicken ( rubber duck) to steak (extra leathery CHEAP CUT rubber)- For 3 - no drinks our check was over 65 dollars and we DID NOT want to go boxes- very poor food- I seriously hate to admit that Taco Bell across the street has softer, better steak cut than these guys...further to add more to laughter...the manager behind us was telling the table next to us 'how they are stealing business from Other places near by'- I shook my head in amazement...... will give them 1-2 years...by then - everyone has tried and moved on to Better - way better places! Too much waitstaff also to support such place and very poor cooks! Me no HUNGRY...(anymore) read more

My wife and i have gone to this restaurant since it opened in Mesa and we have always had a great experience until 3 months ago and yesterday when we ended up with the same waiter. On our first occasion we were seated right away back in the far corner of the restaurant, after waiting for about 5 minutes and not seeing a waiter we wondered what was going on as the restaurant wasn't busy. They sat another couple right behind us at which time the waiter showed up and waited on them, got their drinks and then we were waited on. Then yesterday it was very busy but our chips came to our table right away, the same waiter came to our table asked if we wanted something to drink, yes, however we were also ready to make our order. My wife ordered a a cheese enchilada, and I ordered a beef taco and a beef tostadas, He came back with my wife's order and then he sat my plate down but it was a cheese enchilada and a tostadas. wrong! when called back to our table, he said, that's what you ordered! now since he never even wrote down my order when he took it and no apology for bringing the wrong food. It went back to the kitchen and i waited for the correct order to arrive. we never were asked if we would like any more chips or drinks. He is a horrible waiter and we will continue to go to Nando's however from now on we will make certain he will not be our waiter. ; read more

Very disappointed, have now had a bad experience twice in the last week. What used to be my favorite restaurant has really lost its charm. From a rude server to incredibly slow service at breakfast our family will now be going elsewhere for our go to neighborhood restaurant. Even after talking to the Manager, I don't think he really cares if they retain customers and offered little in the way of apology. Bye, bye Nando's! No longer for us! read more

My favorite Mexican place!! The food is always good the portions are huge (so plan on taking food home). I order something different every time and have not been disappointed! Love the cosy atmosphere, warm chips with yummy salsa while you wait for your food! This is our favorite go to place!!! read more

The service at this place is extremely poor. First they brought me the wrong order and when they brought the correct order it was late and cold. These people are very incompetent. It was a bad experience and I won't be back. The prices are high also. Yuck. read more

Great food! Great service! Definitely my go-to Mexican restaurant! If you haven't tried this place yet, you need to! Keep up the great work Nando's! read more

ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT!!!! We are regulars!! They have great customer service, and will serve you no matter what time it is. I came in an hour before closing and they still sat us and we finished right on time of them shutting the doors. The food is absolutely amazing! I always get a bean and cheese burrito deep fried, and am always excited for the chips & salsa!! The only down side is they close @9 which to me is kind of early. They aren't that expensive when it comes to prices, but they aren't cheap either. read more

My husband and I had lunch/brunch here recently. Beautiful room, great wait staff...especially Tina, who was tirelessly cheerful, efficient, and helpful. Huevos Rancheros were excellent. So were the Chorizo and eggs. Chips were hot and crisp. We'll definitely be back. read more

I have eaten at Nandos several times with friends and family. It is not very consistant in service or food. One time very good and next time terrible. Today was a gift to freind for Birthday lunch at work. So ordered a take out. Ordered 2 taco plate with bean and cheese with side of guacamole. And a drink. So taco plate itself was good. But even though I asked about whether salsa came with it. Answer was yes. But no salsa. Instead of side of guac got a huge tub with flour tort chips for banging 8 bucks. Again no salsa and no drink. Way too much money for this one person lunch missing items. 19.50. Disappointed! I think I don't want to go there anymore. Sorry Nandos! Gave three stars because tacos were good. read more

Well.......as usual, my wife and I had another great experience at Nando's! The food is good and always consistent. The fajita is some of the best I've ever had. The service is always great, especially this evening. Our server, Tena was attentive and friendly with a great attitude. Look forward to going back. read more

This place is awesome!!! Our new go to for Mexican food. We went for lunch and they were BUSY. The manager sat us right away and the server was right behind him. Service was super fast especially considering how busy they were and very friendly. Lunch portions were huge and tasted fantastic! Can't wait to get me some more Nandos, we'll be back for dinner soon! read more

Really craving good nachos so my husband ordered my nachos and his chirizo burrito to go and after arriving he waited 20 mins which is longer than I'm sure it takes to make said items so calling ahead is a waste. The burrito was tiny with the slightest amount of filling with a little shredded lettuce garnish, lovely and my nachos were inedible as the thick layer of cheese on top had been so over cooked it now had the texture of car tires mmmm yum and everything under was grease soaked and lacked cheese. The worst part is the have zero contact nformation so I can't even tell them how miserable their food is. read more

I recently discovered Nando's in Gilbert on an unexpected drive by. Needless to say...when they opened the one they built directly behind my house, I was thrilled. The food is unbelievable. I have been dying for a good Mexican place that makes me happy...and I found it, finally!!! I am a chips and salsa-aholic, and this place doesn't disappoint. Salsa could be spicier, but I have a small child and he loves it, and the flavor is so great, I could drink it. Yum. They do bring a small container of spicier salsa, and it is good enough for me. They didn't get 5 stars from me simply based on the fact that the children's meals are completely over priced. $4.95...not too bad, however that is without a drink or options. $2.75 for a lemonade for a kid is ridiculous on top of the $5 for food. Ugh! Also, my son loves the grilled cheese (it is big) but he would much rather have the carrots and celery with ranch offered with the wings than the 5 pounds of french fries they put on his plate that go to waste. (Hope the owners read these!). That being said...I have to say...one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten...and would recommend to everyone is....the PIZZA BLANCO!!!! OMG. Enough said. It is big enough for four people (wish they would offer a smaller serving!). Two can order...it does heat up great. I did venture past it and get a chicken quesadilla this time...just as amazing. It is a tortilla with cheese and chicken for goodness sake, how can it be so good??? What does this place put on it's chicken??? I actually think the chickens walk into the kitchen and just surrender because they know how damn good they are going to taste after they are grilled!!!! KUDOS to Nandos. :) Even better, I can drink too much and walk home! I recommend the Prickly Pear and the Huckleberry margaritas! read more

Had lunch here today. The service was extremely slow. It took several minutes, I'd guess about 15, for someone to take my order, and then another 15 or 20 minutes for the order to get to my table. The food was very good but don't be in a hurry. read more

Just left Nando's after waiting 1 hour to get our food when no one was in there and when we complained the waiter he got short with us and brought us a bill for the soda! Terrible service really disappointed. read more

Never again will i spend a dime in this place.. food was cold, manager was immature, manager took a drink from my wife while she was drinking and said leave the resturant. . Employees where laughing like it was all funny... well know this nandos I will tell everyone i know About how and who you hire to run this place. I will post on all social media I can find also.. I Belong to multiple car clubs and i will spread the word on how this place is ran... hope you make better management decisions in the future.. stay away from this place, it has gone down hill bad..... read more

What is a Mexican pizza? Seriously, this place is not Mexican food. It reminds me of when you try Mexican food in Spain- nowhere near authentic. You can't call it Tex-Mex either, as that would do Tex-Mex a disservice. It's quite pricey for a rather boring interpretation of "Mexican" food. read more

Only one trip here. The staff was more entertaining more than helpful. We enjoyed them arguing about relationships, whose job this or that is, our waiter telling the manager to go eff himself right in front of us. Food was fine. That I can honestly say is decent. read more

The decor is nice and the staff is friendly and good at what they do. Unfortunately the food was not so great. I got enchiladas and the chicken was dry with the sauce way too salty. The seafood enchilada didn't have much flavor. The rice and beans were nothing special. Everyone's plate was huge and the food looked good - but everyone's was just ok - or worse. It was a busy night so maybe the kitchen was just overwhelmed? We're just visiting so we were bummed it wasn't better. read more

Went there tonight and ordered takeout order. After waiting over forty minutes I finally got my food. I live about five minutes away. When I got home my food was ice cold. After reheating the food the food was good but there service is beyond terrible. Not worth the trip. read more

I went here the other day in need of some long awaited tacos. I am vegan, and I find that eating at Mexican restaurants is the best for being able to customize items on the menu to be vegan. I ordered refried-bean avocado tacos with no cheese or sour cream and a side of rice. The waitress was very friendly (usually people aren't when you have a complicated order). A few minutes later the manager came over to inform me that their refried beans were made with lard and asked if I would rather have black beans. She could tell my order was vegan and she said that she was too and wanted to make sure it came out perfect! She was very friendly and I was pleasantly surprised, I will definitely be returning. read more

Excellent Mexican food,better than most.went for lunch had enchilada,taco,rice n beans,definetly give you lots of food here folks and cheap.Chips n Salsa yummy.Worth the money and the drive,service was awesome also.Go getcha some!!!!! read more

Basic Tex-mex. nothing special, but it'll scratch the itch if you need Mexican. Prices were a bit high and they gave us flour tortillas instead of the request corn one. Waitress was a bit curt. read more

The Pollo Rico was really delicious. I would go back. It wasn't overly busy. Service was a bit slow. By the time I got a refill on my drink, my food got cold. Otherwise, nice place and atmosphere... read more

Feels a little too much like a franchise, but I guess that's because they have multiple locations. When it comes to Mexican food though, I like to feel like I'm eating at some hole-in-the-wall place. From the inside this place didn't even feel like a Mexican restaurant. They could be serving burgers or steaks; the décor really doesn't give you any hints towards the cuisine. The food was good though. I ordered the combo plate which was a very good size and offered a good variety. It comes with a spatula to try and pursued you to share kind of like family style. However, lol, don't be ashamed to toss the spatula aside and claim the whole plate for yourself. It is a lot of food, but I think one person can handle it. I only wished the shells and tortillas on the plate were a little crispier. The plate has a lot of sauce and cheese and I'm not sure if my plate had to sit while waiting for the other entries to come out. Either way, it was still pretty good, and I would go again. Not the most authentic Mexican food, but if you're in a bind in will do the job. read more

Ive had dinner here several times and its mediocre Mexican at best. The beans taste like they come out of a can. I do like their chips, light and crispy and the salsa is ok. I would probably give this place 3 stars if it was just based on the dinner restaurant. Today we decided to try out their breakfast for the first time. I was impressed walking into the breakfast cafe, as I didnt expect it to be its own little restaurant. We stood next to another family that had already been waiting. We stood there for more than 5 minutes and none of the 4 employees we saw would acknowledge us. They kept glancing our way and continuing what they were doing. I asked the family who had been waiting longer than us if anyone had helped them and they said no! So I went up to the bar and still everyone was too busy to talk to me. Finally I was able to ask someone if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. They said to seat ourselves. So we ended up letting the other family take the only available clean table and we continued to stand there with no greeting or acknowledgement from any of the staff. Dirty tables everywhere that needed to be cleaned. We walked out. What kind of customer service is that? We stood there for a very long time! I was excited to try out the breakfast here but I will not be going back. read more

Our first choice for A pre valentines restaurant had an hour and a half wait, so we ended up here on feb 13th. No wait. Good service. Nice environment. Food was a 2.5. Chicken fried burrito, one of their most popular dishes according to the waitress was big, lots of cheese and good jalapeño cheese sauce. Wife had shrimp stuffed poblano chili. She liked it. The entrees were 3.5s but the beans were a 2 and the salsa was a zero. Tasted like canned tomatoes, no flavor. Chips were a 4.5. Prices were average for Mexican food. Bottom line, I'll never make this an intended destination. read more

Crowded and loud but the food is pretty damn good for Mesa.What is up with these places serving american food??
