    Gilbert's dining scene just got even better, and this is one you don't want to miss. If you're looking for a restaurant that blends modern Mexican flavors with premium steakhouse quality, Origen absolutely delivers. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a beautiful, upscale atmosphere featuring an open kitchen, incredible artwork, warm lighting, and a vibe that's perfect for date night, celebrations, or dinner with friends. Now let's talk about the food... Beef Braised Short Rib: The star of the evening. Fall-apart tender, packed with rich flavor, and served over creamy mashed potatoes that soaked up every bit of that incredible sauce. Comfort food elevated to another level. Prime Ribeye: Perfectly cooked with a beautiful crust, topped with sautéed mushrooms, and every bite was juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you'd expect from a top-tier steakhouse. Crispy Lobster : Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tossed in a sweet-spicy sauce that kept us reaching for one more bite. Espresso Martini: Smooth, balanced, and the perfect cocktail to enjoy with dinner--or to finish the evening. Dessert: The perfect ending to an outstanding meal. Beautifully presented and every bite was worth saving room for. One of the things we really appreciated was how every dish arrived looking as good as it tasted. The presentation, quality of ingredients, and attention to detail were evident from start to finish. The service was attentive, the atmosphere was lively, and the open kitchen added to the overall experience. Food 5/5 Drinks 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Service 5/5 Parking 4/5 Overall Rating: 5/5 Origen isn't just another new restaurant--it's an experience. Whether you're celebrating something special, planning a date night, or simply looking for one of Gilbert's newest dining destinations, this place deserves a spot on your list. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

    Salmon carpaccio
    Stephen L.

    Walking into the restaurant, the aesthetic and vibe were great and would definitely come back to try their other entrees. For this occasion we ordered: Bone in ribeye: 4/5- the 20oz steak was perfectly cooked with a charred flavor, but I personally think it's missing butter and some rosemary. As for the mashed potatoes, it was finely grated and mashed and was just divine to eat Salmon carpaccio 3/5- the ponzu flavor was light and not too overwhelming and thought it was great sauce. However, the deduction comes in the way the salmon was cut. For sure if the Salmon were thinly slice vs chucks, I would've gave this dish a higher score. Cutting it in chucks had this mushy texture Ceviche 5/5- this ceviche was delicious. Right amount of seasoning, and with that hint of coconut it complimented the fish and shrimp to perfection As for the service, definitely could've used some improvement. Our server was slow and didn't come often to pick up our dishes or ask us how we are doing. We were the ones that constantly had to wave her down to get help

    Been here a few times recently. One for my birthday and one for happy hour. Both times the service has been awesome. The decor and ambiance is always top notch. I love feeling like I can dress up for a Gilbert restaurant. Having gone for dinner and happy hour, both did not disappoint. Got the flank steak and pork belly tacos at dinner. Loved both and steak cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were even amazing! The crevice was incredible. The broth everything is in, is different but on point with the fish. I want it everytime I go! I went for happy hour a month later, and you truly can't beat this happy hour anywhere . $30 for 3 different kinds of steaks , cooked how you want and with a side! My filet was cooked nice and rare and was delicious! Highly recommend for anyone who can make it between those short hours. The cucumber mezcalita drink is my favorite! It's light and refreshing. With such a nice restaurant so close and and a great happy hour , I definitely will be back to take advantage!

    The food here is good, just good, no great. At least what I got: truffle steak fries, polanco pasta with NY Steak (medium rare), and crispy pork belly tacos. The pork belly tacos were the star of the show, perfectly salty and crunchy but still with a bit of chew. The one downside is that the tacos desperately needed some type of salsa or crema. The pasta and steak were decent but won't blow you away. There are steak houses with better steak and Italian joints with better pasta. And the steak fries were very average. Cocktails were good. While the overall vibe of the restaurant was nice, I struggle to see what Origen really excels with.

    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 here with a group on a Tuesday night. We had a reservation so they knew we were coming. Our waitress was nice but it was the slowest service ever! Seated at 6:45pm, we didn't get to order appetizers until nearly 7:30. The whole meal dragged on. Our table was never properly cleared of unused or dirty dishes and glasses. A male manager came by twice and grabbed a few things but otherwise our waitress was having to do it all herself. They also had the temperature incredibly warm there, so warm everyone was sweating and I almost put my hair up in a ponytail. Food was okay but not worth the price b Again, this was a Tuesday night, not a busy weekend. Won't be returning to this place.

    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!!

    This place was great and the staff was even better. Me and my wife were celebrating our two year anniversary and we couldn't get a babysitter so we had to pack up the baby with us lol. We were able to get reservations on OpenTable same day which was on a Tuesday so that's expected when I came in. I was greeted by a friendly hostess, who sat us very quickly. The ambience inside is super modern and a good vibe in general. Our server, Yuri was absolutely amazing. She was super patient and helpful/accommodating with having a baby at a restaurant. They DO have high chairs! She also gave a really good recommendation of the ceviche which me and my wife found phenomenal! It was a different style of ceviche than I typically get and the variety of seafood as well as the sauce that it was marinated with was delicious. One thing, though that I would say that for personal preference at least would be that I wish they had some spice on it that would've sent it to the moon. I also got the steak the filet mignon specifically and I would've done the mashed potatoes because they sounded like they were really good, but I ended up getting potato wedges because my wife wanted some lolll The filet mignon was really good. I would say just one critique would be that it wasn't Cook the same throughout so like the right side was medium and then the side that luckily I cut into at first was medium rare so that was one downside but overall it was really good tasting steak. We also got a side of sautéed veggies, which were delicious. And then, lastly, when we were leaving or about to get the check, Yuri told us that because we are celebrating our anniversary that they wanted to surprise us with a flan! That flan was pretty good, I wouldn't say it's to die for . but I also come from a Hispanic family so I'm kinda picky. Next time I go back, I will definitely try a lot more on the menu and I have to go when I have a complete cheat meal so I can eat a lot of food! We didn't end up drinking today because middle of the week but next time I go back I have 100% will get some of their cocktails too as they look absolutely delicious! Overall, I would recommend this place. The staff was super super friendly ambience was good. The food was good and there's more items to explore on the menu

    The Truly Bougie Dining club headed to Origen and it did not disappoint. I had been there last year so I was a bit reluctant, however, and I am so happy to say they have hit it out of the park. I am so happy we chose your beautiful restaurant. For starters we were seated as soon as we checked in for our 6:30 reservation. We sat in a cozy area near the front. The ambiance was very pleasant. The table was set with beautiful plates and also big big Reidel wine goblets. Our server was amazing. Jamie made sure she gave us plenty of time to get settled and returned a few times to get everyone's drink selections and we didn't feel rushed. I ordered the Hibiscus Mezcalita, my friend ordered the December 2nd. Both were amazing craft cocktails. They were so good she ordered a second one and I ordered a Cucumber Spicy Mezcalita. Again very good. The rest of our group had beers, a few Old Fashions and an Aperol Spritz. All very good. (After dinner we were able to meet the mixologist behind the bar. He was so passionate about his craft and detailed his efforts and length it takes to make each of their signature drinks. It's very obvious he loves what he does and I should add he is the only one who creates these wonderful flavors, mostly for consistency for the rest of the bar staff. Super impressive.) Now to the even better stuff. Food was amazing. I ordered the Sonoran tacos. They were very tasty. The meat was tender. I used both sauces and the cream which is delivered to the table prior to dinner. My friend ordered tacos de Filet with the bone marrow. She was so happy with her selection. The manager Carlos actually had made his way to our table and when our food arrived he offered a hand. My friend wasn't sure about what to do with the bone marrow. Carlos stepped in and using a small spoon, spooned the bone marrow over the tacos for an added flavor. She was impressed as was the rest of our group. My other girlfriend ordered the Angus skirt steak. Unfortunately she thought her steak was a little chewy. Finally the men in our group opted for the 12oz ribeye, and the Cowboy bone-in Ribeye. Again they said the meat had great flavor, seasoned great, a great cut of meat, and zero left on their plate. They even substituted French fries for my husband which was a nice touch. Throughout the night Jamie checked on us, Carlos the manager checked on us, and we also had another gentleman come and ask us if our dinner was going good. I absolutely appreciated it. We were all so happy which made our dinner much more enjoyable knowing we were being treated with much so much care. We ended the night with dessert. We ordered a flan, a cheesecake made out of canela crackers, and a cake of some sort. All were delicious and were shared with the table. To top things off we were given a tour of this magical one of a kind restaurant. We were led to more intimate places throughout for bigger parties and celebrations. They also have a wine room filled with great wine selection. Definitely did not expect the different possibilities to entertain bigger parties. I am so happy to have returned to Origen. Thanks for a great night.

    Origen delivered a great experience. The tomahawk steak was the highlight of the meal--cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and presented exceptionally well. The octopus was tender and enjoyable, although it had a bit more oil than I personally prefer. The atmosphere was fantastic, making it a great place to relax, enjoy a quality meal, and catch the World Cup matches . Friendly service, excellent presentation, and a memorable dining experience overall. We'll definitely be back for another tomahawk!

    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)

    Service and ambience was on point, drinks and food came out in a timely matter. I wish the food had a little bit more flavor and the salsa was a little spicier. I definitely wouldn't exclude coming here again and ordering different items for the menu.

We got super lucky and were able to sit at the bar, open seating, with the TVs. There are regulars that come in and seem to have a good rapport with the staff and they love the food. It was a bit of a rush time and there was only one bartender so service was a bit slow. We did get some chips and salsa as we waited. Good chips, airy and crispy. The salsa was OK. I'm personally just not a fan of roasted salsa. Their beer was crisp and thoroughly cold which was refreshing. I tried the amor de mango and it was tasty. I can't remember my first drink either. It was a Paloma or a margarita, but i didn't enjoy as much, which is why I changed my next drink. The chimi trio was very tasty and full of flavor, one bean one chicken one beef, all good. Then we got the carnitas cheese crisp which was interesting and had good flavor. I would order both again. Service was pretty good. Like I said, the bartender was busy working by himself and when one of his coworkers noticed, we didn't have any more water then she would come by and help so that was appreciated. It s good date spot, or catching up with a friend or just grabbing a bite to eat and drink for yourself. I look forward to coming back and trying entrees. My only hope is that during the hot bright times they lower the shades and get more shades.

You start off with complimentary homemade chips and salsa. The chips are always fresh and crispy, and the salsa has a delicious smoky flavor with just the right amount of heat. If you're looking for a good drink, the mango margarita is honestly one of the best I've had. The watermelon agua fresca is another favorite--it's crisp, refreshing, and has just the right amount of sweetness. As for the food, some of my favorites are the pozole, Pick Two Tacos, and the Famous Carnitas, which is also one of my husband's favorites. He usually goes for the Burro Combo, Chile Verde, or Famous Carnitas. You really can't go wrong with any of them! This time, I ordered the carnitas, and they were so good. The meat was seasoned perfectly, tender, and had a nice bite to it. The portion is also very generous, especially with the rice and beans. I almost always end up taking leftovers home, which is definitely a plus. The atmosphere is another reason I enjoy coming here. It's casual, comfortable, and relaxing, and they also have outdoor seating if you prefer to sit outside. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot with great food, generous portions, good drinks, and reasonable prices, definitely give this place a try. It continues to be one of my favorites!
