    Entrance

    We came for happy hour but let me just tell you, we were so impressed with this place! The food was delicious and the restaurant itself was beautiful! Our server had the coolest looking mustache and definitely gave us a 10/10 service! $30 for 12oz ribeye & $10 margaritas on happy hour?? Yeah we'll be back next week!

    It was our first time here and we decided to give happy hour a try. I was really impressed with the ambiance of the restaurant right when you walk in and throughout, it's gorgeous. My husband reviewed the menus prior but I didn't. I was shocked by the price of the food and especially the kids meals $18-20ish, and $48ish for enchiladas. That being said, the quality of the food, service, and ambiance helped me feel more comfortable with the cost. I would say I thought it was going to be a more casual experience (because of the plaza) but it does have a more upscale vibe. Our server was fantastic and really made sure to help make our experience just right. We will definitely be back but I think I'll save this place for special occasions, thank you!

    Went to Or1gen on Valentine's Day and it was such a cute and romantic spot for dinner. The vibes were moody and intimate, which made it feel perfect for a date night. The service was also great. the staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I ordered the Mary's chicken with truffle fries and both were delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the truffle fries were crispy and full of flavor. definitely a great combo. Overall it felt like a really special spot for a romantic dinner, and I'd definitely come back for another date night!!

    The ambiance was great and the food was tasty. We had an odd one off experience with the service but the managers made it right. They had live music which was amazing and really elevated the vibe.

    Found this place through an instagram story and was excited to try it. We were seated during happy hour with no reservation. They easily accommodated our group of five. The food is excellent and flavorful. The portion sizes are very generous and they even offered to fire the steak at two temperatures to split. We ordered the ribeye during happy hour. There was a nice crust on the steak and was well seasoned. The kids meals have extremely generous portions but are 18-20 dollars per kids meals. The service was excellent. Would definitely be worthwhile to check out at happy hour (Sunday through Thursday 3-5)

    Def my go-to East Valley "dinner out" spot. Reviewing a neat concept the restaurant has going!!! Tequila Passport!! Enjoy once a month curated pairing that includes a hand-selected tequila tasting, an entree, appetizer, and dessert (Sunday through Thursday). Also enjoy a cocktail of the month with the meal for only $1; 10% off wine bottles; exclusive invitations and discounts for all signature Origen events; tequila tasting classes with limited spots only for passport members. All for $80 per month. And you'll get the always wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable Origen service, with your choice of delightful patio or cool indoor vibe seating. The menu selections available with the monthly passport include the Mary's Chicken, St Louis Pork Ribs, Ribeye Steak, Pork Shank Cochinita Pibil, Tomahawk Steak, Barbacoa Regia, and many others. A veritable walk through of their most popular food over the passport 12-month period. Live music on the weekends. A great place to meet, celebrate and enjoy good friends, food, wine, cocktails, and tequila!!!

    This building and the ambience are remarkable. The decor is high-end fashioned, but also interesting with the natural elements such as barking wood. They had live music playing jazz with a saxophone that was really quite soothing and provided an upscale vibe. The staff here were very attentive, but I will say the food was really disappointing. Salmon was flavorless. The prices are overrated. The guacamole was fine. The salad was a bit lacking. The queso was small portions and very stringy. The one saving grace of this meal was the chocolate churros. They were phenomenal. I would come back here for a drink and churros but that's it. The food was overpriced and bland really disappointing given the beautiful setting.

    The food atmosphere and service were awesome. Love everything. The queso fondido to the guacamole to my steak and the octopus. We loved everything. Angel the waiter was great. Carlos the manager came by to make sure everything was good.

    Second visit to Origen, this time flying in specifically for Origen and a bar before heading back out the next morning. Still a good experience, and the restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous. Food was decent, and the service was on point. My only critique this time is it did not taste like it did last time at all. Still good, but consistency is important! The octopus this time was very close to overcooked, but just still flew under the radar, and the short rib was great. Carpaccio was good itself but the bread was incredibly over roasted to the point of being a giant crumbling crouton. One complaint was the Churro Carajillo, it was vastly different, appeared to be missing all of the alcohol and taste like a latte. I did bring this up and they assured it was correct and offered a small shot on the side to add to it. This was a good gestures, but the recipe absolutely changed since my last visit, and they should REALLY consider going back to the old one. That being said it was good with the additional shot, but still not the same.

    The ambiance and the decor here is spectacular. It's beautiful inside and great for special occasions. We had a party of 12 for a milestone birthday. We were able to get a private area with a sliding door and personal bathroom. It was awesome. The service was fantastic and our server was attentive and made sure to check on our group. The food was great. I highly recommend the guacamole with pork belly for the appetizer. I also thought my enchilada entree was delicious. I would definitely come back to try other dishes!

    I have heard some mixed reviews on this place. We had a fantastic time. Came in for date night on a Friday and scored seats at the bar. Sara was our bartender/server. She was vey knowledgeable about the menu. She was fun and we loved sitting there watching her make many different cocktails. I had a the biggest baked potato I have ever seen covered with steak bites. I literally ate that night, my husband and I mixed with eggs the next morning and still made a few burritos out of the leftovers. Yum! My husband had the filet tacos and bone marrow. He liked it but when given the habanero hot sauce, he was in love! The bone marrow is always a hit with him and got a mescal luge after was the kicker. We will be back.

    Where do I begin? The decor, food, the service, the added blankets for those sitting outside (a plus)...all were amazing! Impromptu dinner outing and of course, we made reservations because they are busy!! we got lucky finding a spot for us. Our waiter was amazing, so friendly and accommodating! We ordered a variety of apps: The guacamole The ceviche (table fav) the mushrooms (not a fan on its own but paired well with the steak entree) Smoky mac and cheese (OMG AMAZING) Main course: The planco pasta - excellent The white fish - tasty! Ribeye 12oz..excellent (got cold quickly as we sat outside) We wanted to try the chicken but they were sold out :(. cocktails: Mexi-hatten, Mezcal OF, Hibiscus Mex-calita. all were excellent We had the flan for dessert and it was amazing! (comped as we kept ordering things that were sold out lol just our luck) Will definitely be back, especially since its so close to us. Vegetarian items were limited (obviously) but they do have avocado tacos and of course the apps!

    Other than the ambience, I was not impressed....at all. The service was horrendous!!! I mean we waited about 10 minutes for our drinks and 20 minutes for our check. It was awful. The food was not great and extremely overpriced. I would much rather go to a high scale establishment like Steak 44 for comparable prices. Mediocre at best. I would go back for HH and the bar based on the ambiance but there are far better restaurants out there with far better service. Don't let the aesthetics of this place fool you for good food and good service.

    Rib Eye, Mash potatoes, onion and jalapeño.

    OK, we've been big fans of Caldwell's BBQ for years and somehow had never made it over to…read moreCaldwell's Mexi-Q... big mistake on our part--especially since it combines two of my all-time favorite things...brisket and tacos! Parking was a breeze, and since there were three of us (including one never-full teenager ), we went for the Mexi-Q Platter and added an extra birria taco so everyone could try one. It absolutely lived up to the hype! The surprise standout? The brisket tostada--sooooo flavorful and satisfying on every level! We also loved the sausage link, Mexi-Q twinkies (aka smoked jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in bacon ), and honestly, everything we tried was a hit. For sides, we ordered Grandma's Calabacitas (a yummy squash veggie mix), roasted cream elote, and Julio's mac n' cheese (which I skipped, but the guys were big fans). We wrapped up this phenomenal meal with their GF banana pudding (they offer both GF and regular options), and it was seriously scrumptious--such a treat to have a gluten-free dessert that feels just as special! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. They double-checked that everything we ordered (minus the mac n' cheese) was gluten-free, which is always such a relief. It means so much when a place truly understands gluten and can clearly guide you on what's safe. We sat outside and soaked up the beautiful weather--it was the perfect setting for such a fun and tasty meal! An easily awarded and well deserved

    I stopped by this spot to try their spin of Mexican bbq. The carnitas taco was really good. I put…read morethe Carolina gold bbq sauce on it and it was perfect. I liked that sauce so much that I'd consider going back just to try it on some of their other bbq. I didn't like the brisket birria taco as much because it was way too salty for me. The mac and cheese was also just okay. It had so much sauce that it was too thick and unpleasant to eat. The vibe was good though. They have seating inside and outside. I love that they had the misters running to keep the outdoor seating cool. The staff was also very nice.

The parking lot outside was parking so we thought we may have to wait, but inside was not busy yet and we were seated immediately.

This restaurant is decorated so cutely. I love how there is a Baja influence with all the surf boards but also southwest appeal. There is plenty of seating and tables for big groups.
