While in Queen Creek after work, I decided to check out the newest location of my favorite restaurant, Nando's. I got seated right away & was deciding what to have. I started with my usual go-to drink, Coke Zero & also a glass of iced water. Stepped out of my usual comfort zone of enchiladas for a change & ordered Huevos Rancheros. While waiting for my meal, I checked out the layout & decor of the restaurant, which I found very nice. The ambiance was steady & busy but not loud. Just perfect for an afternoon. My waiter was super attentive, checking in on me each time he came through & always giving me a big smile. Very nice man. My Huevos Rancheros were absolutely delicious & cooked just right to my liking. Perfect portion size as well. It's good to try other things on the menu & I'm glad I did. I'll definitely return, especially for their enchiladas. read more

Order via door dash cost $75 dollars didn't have our tacos we ordered. Also gave us half a bag of stale chips with unseasoned carne asada that most of it was fat. Second time ordering it. The chicken also tasted like just boiled it. Similar to what you give a dog when stomach upset. Avoid at all cost. read more

12/6/25 Out shopping and errands and time for a 3 pm late lunch and first visit. Parking 5/5 No problems finding a spot up close, maybe between meal peak services luck? Atmosphere 5/5 As seen in my photos, this is a modern nicely curated Latin themed restaurant. Great use of colors, Muriel Artwork and area dividing materials providing a clean fun vibe. Food 5/5 This was my first visit and not sure why we took so long to try Nando's. We were out holiday shopping and realized we both were getting Hangry. Our server got our drinks started and delivered our complimentary chips and salsas. Wife zeroed in on the Albondiga soup and I elected to try something less traditional and went with the Faja Pasta; a clever but simple Italian-Latin fusion dish I will re-create at home. Both were delicious and agreed we order them again. I'll be back to try two othered items off their specialty dish offerings that I'm interested in trying. Service 5/5 Friendly, timely and helpful. Food was out quickly and at proper temperature. Confusion try Fusion my Friends-SYOY! read more

Food is always great and fresh and service Is great as well. They need to remodel the place so that people don't have to wait outside for so long in this burning Az heat! read more

Nando's has a great happy hour! Food is always great and the staff is efficient. The sliders and quesadilla are a must! I only give 4 stars because of the wait time. read more

My least favorite Nandos of the three I have visited so far. The food was not seasoned well and the service was literally stupid. I had the Mexican pizza with no meat and whole beans. Beans had no seasoning, it seemed to be missing the guacamole cuz there was so little but it was full of green chilis. My friends shared a pizza blanco and said it was really good. Another friend had the albondigas and he liked it. Nandos has really good green tea, but it was nearly impossible to get a refill from our server, no matter how many times we asked. They offer bottomless chips and salsa....these are yummy. If given the option, this wouldn't be the Nandos I would recommend. I gave 3 stars because my friends liked their meals but disliked the service. My food was definitely a 2. read more

Arrived for a late lunch on this beautiful Memorial Day. Friendly greeting and immediately seated, as usual. Our waitress brought our drinks, warm crisp chips and salsa. The only complaint I have with Nandos is that their salsa tastes like generic jar style. Wife's chicken taco bowl salad arrived, as well as my lunch tamale plate. Lettuce fresh and crisp, generous portions of tasty chicken. My beans and rice were perfect, and the tamale was packed full of delicious stringy beef. For $ 12.50, on the lunch menu until 4pm, this might be the best lunch in town. Been coming here for several years, and always impressed by the genuine friendliness of the staff. Atmosphere is laid back, and they actually seem to NOT hate their jobs! Nice comfortable place to enjoy a good meal, and we'll return regularly. read more

Oh my, so good. Super happy someone recommended this place. We had a lovely lunch on the back patio. Sipped a couple cocktails and had a great meal. Staff was super friendly and expedient. read more

Great place to eat, but they don't take reservations so be prepared to possibly wait when you arrive. The food here is very good and the margaritas are made well. The service was fast and are waitress was attentive. read more

Location was easy to find and parking was abundant. This location was hopping on a Friday night. The expected wait was 40 minutes, but we didn't wait that long. We ordered drinks at the bar and sat outside on the side porch area. Table was ready before we finished our drinks! Staff were super friendly and we enjoyed our dinner. We had the chicken fajitas, carne asada with flank, beef enchiladas and chile relleno. All in all, a great experience and has become our favorite Mexican food stop! read more

Great service today at Nando's, even though it was so busy! Love the summer deals and $5 margs on Saturdays! Also, one of the only places in Queen creek that you can actually get a pina colada! I had a steak quesadilla and we ate as many chips with salsa as we possibly could. Great place to take the family or a fun date night! read more

Nando's Mexican Cafe - Chips and salsa! $5 house margs on Saturdays and the real deal, pina colada! - Mexican Near Me - Queen Creek, Arizona

This time around I liked my meal at Nandos cause I was hungry has skipped breakfast. The portion is super warm and big. Food tasted great, love the salsa from this place, service is quick and restaurant was pretty busy when we arrived then slowed down. We got there around 2:30. Normally this place always has a wait but the time we want it didn't have any wait. The restaurant also has tv screens so it is a nice ambiance, cute place. read more

We came here on a Thursday night around 5:45 PM. It was fairly busy, but our wait time was only about five minutes. Isaac was our server and he was very friendly and helpful after we told him we were newbies. It was nice. They started us with a nice bowl of tortilla chips and two salsa, one mild and one more spicy. The chips had a nice amount of salt on them and we're thin and crispy. The salsa were better than average for most Mexican restaurants that we've visited. Issac made some recommendations and we ended up ordering a chimichanga plate, individual chicken and Carnitas tacos, a nice salad to share, a tamale and flautas. The food came out pretty quickly, within 10 minutes. Everyone enjoyed their food and agreed we would definitely come back. read more

Steer clear of this place if you're in the mood for a taco salad, the absolute most atrocious waste of money. The presentation is a fried bread bowl, with shredded lettuce and extreme modest amount of a sprinkle of tomatoes, cold chicken that was boiled not grilled, black olives, and sloppily shredded cheese. Parts of the cheese were shredded, but there were chunks of cheese as well. This taco salad did not come with guacamole, sour cream or onions. The chicken is just boiled and shredded a joke of a taco salad I had it in my mind that Nando was gonna knock this salad out the park. I expressed my disappointment in the salad and while the waitress offered it to get me something else I opted out, but I still had to pay for that sad sack of a salad. Wendy's taco salad is better than this super disappointed and surprised. Actually if you go to Nando's, you'll enjoy the free chips and salsa and their fajitas and drinks if you drink otherwise it's noisy. It's very busy. There's always a kid crying the seats are very close to each other so if it's crowded it feels crowded. I might just skip Nando's next time. Barrio Queen isn't my jam either I rather go ham on Taco Bell and watch Netflix at home. I promise, the photos that others that have posted IS NOT WHAT THEY SERVED ME. If you order the taco salad, you're gonna pay extra for guacamole and effort. read more

We've been here once and I remembered it being ok. I should start by saying I'm not a person who will suggest going to get Mexican food...but my husband loves it so I let him choose where to go for lunch. We walk in on a Friday and the place was busy but we were quickly seated. Drinks were brought right away with some complimentary chips and two different salsas. The menu is large like most places but they had lunch specials. My husband ordered the chicken enchiladas and I got the chicken taco salad with jalapeño ranch. It was all amazing!! My salad was loaded with chicken and the jalapeño ranch had a perfect spice. I can positively say that I want to go back! read more

This place is always packed so expect a wait before you get seated. The hostesses do their best to keep things organized, but you should just expect a wait and be patient. Food is typical, but it is interesting that the same dishes are slightly different than the same ones in the Gilbert location. Casual environment and typical Americanized Mexican food, but we keep coming back because it is still pretty tasty. Portion sizes are large. Chips and salsa are addicting. read more

Emily, you get one star! If I could give you less I would. You are loud, rude, and your smile is fake beyond belief. When we were addressing an issue with our food, you were completely embarrassing, speaking loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear. We had a complaint about the food and you said well I'm going to charge you half because you guys ate some when all of the onions were clearly on the outside of the dish, that's why it looked like we had eaten because it was full of onion sticks that were 2 to 3 in Long. And then when I told you I wanted to take a picture of the dish you were quick to take it away. You are a horrible manager and we will have to take the dining experience at Nando's to a different location, we have been coming here since this restaurant opened and you have ruined The quaint feeling that the Queen Creek location once had. read more

1st visit and really liked the vibe and food. Service was excellent, too. Affordable prices for happy hour food and drinks. Loved the crispy, cheesy Mexican pizza. The patio had a lot of traffic noise, but they welcomed our puppy with her own water, so that makes up for it. Super friendly server. read more

The food is decent. Service can be hit and miss. It always seems busy and loud when we are there.

Its Sunday not that busy but wasnt able to get my order done right. Forgot 1 burrito from my to go order! For the cost try and get it right if you want return customers!! Not a good service day at Nando s! read more

Excellent food. Clean and friendly. Margaritas are decent. Great for a friends gathering. Nice patio area. Definitely worth going to.

First time going here. We walked in and it was super busy so knew it had to be good. We were looking at houses all day with nothing to eat so were very hungry. Our server didn't really seem to have a personality but he was good all except filling my glass to the top with ice like I asked and then ended up giving my husband the glass with more ice. My friend got the numeral nueva, can't remember exactly what it was but she said it was very good. Both my husband and I had a lunch special of ground beef taco, cheese enchiladas and bean tostadas. Very good. If we end up moving to Queen Creek this will definitely be on our list of favorite places. read more

Nando's is a long time favorite of ours but we haven't been in some time now. We met our son for Father's Day and it wasn't too busy so we went for it. They have a brunch menu that we had never seen before, probably since we have never gone there that early. The food was fantastic as always and they have a large selection of brunch items as well. I had the enchiladas divorciadas and their new cantaloupe margarita. Both were top notch! My wife order a skillet type of plate and my son order the breakfast burrito and both were very good. We also ordered a side of pancakes to share. We were delighted how good they were since it's not really an item you would order at a Mexican restaurant. Long story short, the food was amazing, service was friendly and prompt and yes, we will be going back for brunch again. At least until the secret gets out and they get too busy! read more

From the moment we arrived, the hostesses were warm and welcoming. Nando's food is always outstanding--my parents and I visit often, and the service never disappoints. The staff is also incredibly kind to our golden retriever service dog. A special thanks to Maddy, who went above and beyond to make our visit extra special. Her kindness, along with the rest of the team, made our experience even better. If you're craving amazing Mexican food with top-notch service, Nando's is the place to go! read more

My husband and I love Nando's. The food has always been sooo good. The guava passionfruit margarita is AMAZING! The servers have always been so friendly. The only thing I will say is everytime we go the floor under the tables look like food has exploded under there. Other than that it's literally the best read more

It's been a while since I've been here. But the food was excellent perfectly on point chimichanga nice and flavorful. The chicken was not dried out very tender and juicy. Our waiter was great, I was stopping in to make sure we were doing good. Had enough beverages. The ambience on the place was very nice. He can talk to people at a table without a problem very low music in the background. All in all great experience, definitely will be going back soon again. read more

I don't even know where to begin with this place. Since moving to Queen Creek, it's become our go-to spot -- a place that instantly felt like home. We've weathered a lot here, from the chaos of COVID to the wild ride of the T**** era, and through it all, the people here have shown a kind of hospitality that's truly rare. The food, the drinks, the vibe -- always spot on. But the real magic? That comes from Aubrey, Makensey, and Emily. They're more than just familiar faces; they're like family. Over time, they've become our ride-or-die crew -- the reason we keep coming back (maybe more often than we should, but hey, no regrets). Bottom line: they deserve all the love -- more recognition, more pay, whatever it takes to keep them around. They're the heart of this place. read more

Sat at the bar. The food was great! Drinks were good. Service was ok. A good time overall!

Food was amazing- the chicken tacos were so good and the meat so tender. I recommend the tomatillo sauce it was amazing Service was on point and our server ( tall guy with hat forgot his name) was amazing and very prompt at replenishing our drinks and chips and salsa. Ambiance was nice and cool for temperature. read more

After a long day of shopping, I found myself in need of a relaxing meal and Nando's Mexican Cafe was just around the corner so I decided to give it a try. The laid-back atmosphere helped me unwind and the friendly service from Isabella made the experience even more pleasant. They gave a complimentary chips and 2 varieties of salsa for everyone. I started with the chicken burros which come with chicken only. I appreciated the option to customize them with sides like guacamole, salsa and cheese, though adding these extras did increase the overall cost. I also ordered the chicken chimichanga, which was quite good. It was well-seasoned and crispy, adding a nice variety to my meal. The quantity was heavy for me so I had half portion in the restaurant and packed the other portion as to-go. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Nando's. The ambiance was welcoming, the service was attentive and both the burros and chimichanga were satisfying. read more

Food is good. We had hatch chili enchiladas. They were great. Service was good. Why the four stars? Limited vegetarian options. Would love to see a vegetarian rice option without chicken broth or a cilantro lime rice as an option instead of having to substitute fries for rice. read more

Food, service...as a first timer, I wasn't impressed at all. It was just a messy experience! From my drink order, to my dinner order, to the incorrect check...what an experience. I'll take my business elsewhere, whay I can say, is, I gave it a chance ‍ read more

Consistent and quick! This is a reliable and tasty Mexican food staple in QC. It is always busy yet they are quick and friendly. We ordered the fajitas which only come with 2 tortillas. Have to pay for more than that. Started with a cheese crisp which was crisp and cheesy! It is noisy and crowded but a fun time. read more

Hi everybody. If you like Mexican food, I'd have to recommend Nando's. I go there with my friends and get the tacos or burritos will beans and rice. It's really good and the waitresses are friendly.

I've been to Nandos many times because it's so close to home, but... Service was fine... But... The food is blah. I had a taco that was 4/10. Enchilada was 6/10 The chili relleno was undercooked and couldn't even finish it. The chips are just rewarmed and served 4/10. And it cost $31 w/tip. I had a diet coke. read more
