My husband and I were excited to try this place for a date night but were disappointed in most aspects of the restaurant. Service: We made an early reservation so the restaurant was fairly empty, no more than 6-7 other tables. However, even with all the open seating in the main dining area they put us in a corner table in the room farther back, right next to the server stand. So we had servers coming right behind my seat to grab knives, water, etc. that was really distracting. I would understand if the restaurant was packed and there weren't any tables but the fact that we made a reservation and there were at least 20 other tables we could have been seated at, the hostess choice was ridiculous. Throughout our meal I had to consistently flag our server down as well even though I'm pretty sure they only had another 2 top and a 6 top to tend to. Food: For the price the food was subpar. For a cheaper price (I'm talking like 20% cheaper) the food would have still been subpar. We ordered the queso fundido with the steak bites ($31) and it straight up tasted like flavorless melted mozzarella with a layer of grease on top. At one point I actually started choking on it because it was just a giant cheese-pull that got stuck in my throat. For mains I got the Tacos De Filet and similar to the fundido, the tacos were covered in grease and the bone marrow had no flavor. My husband got the Crispy Pork Belly tacos and even though he was really hungry, he only ate two of them. Nothing was worth coming here unfortunately and even though we probably had half to 3/4 of our meals left, including the appetizer, we didn't bother to take it to-go as I didn't want to relive that culinary experience again. When I made the reservation I also noted that it was my husband's birthday. I had seen previous reviews that they did a birthday dessert but they never said anything. When I brought it up to my husband he said to not even bother, he just wanted to get out of there. For the amount spent on Mexican food, we should have just risked getting bubble guts eating Filiberto's for a week. read more

There is a serious management problem at this place. Not the servers , they were great but way overworked. One bartender for the whole restaurant during a holiday week? That slowed everything down . Our server was super professional, but I could tell she was stressed and way overworked. After our food was delivered, she didn't come back for 45 minutes. The "manager " (if you can call him that, untucked shirt and belly sticking out ) stood at the food window to help take orders out, which is not where the problems were. I think they actually brought dishwashers out to help the servers start boxing up people's leftovers to go. As for the food,, meh at best. I had the Barbacoa, which sat in the cast-iron pan so long that it was burnt to the bottom. It was served with a red sauce that looked like watered down ketchup and had no flavor. Wife had the enchiladas with steak on top which she liked, but they served it in a bowl with so much green sauce that it was practically like soup and impossible to cut the steak on top. Stupid plating. We had much higher expectations. Much better restaurants around. read more

I'm loving this whole vibe we have going on here! Literally bringing Gilbert to a whole new level. Not much to complain about. I feel that for only being open for a week, they've pretty much worked out a lot of tweaks that you see in a new restaurant. A few issues, but nothing that would have me vowing to never come back. For a place like this, I would except the pricey drinks and food. Probably not a place I would frequent weekly, but is definitely a date night kind of place, so we didn't mind indulging. The food, drinks, and our server were worth it. Loses a star because I feel for the price, my steak should be cooked correctly especially since they slice it before bringing it you. My husband and I both asked for medium rare. His came cold and rare and mine came out medium. Our server offered to fix it, but my husband will never send back food for fear that they would do something sneaky. I didn't send mine back because it was still juicy and flavorful, so I was good. One note, when we first got there, even with a reservation, it still took 35 mins to be seated so we got a drink at the bar. It took a while to get drinks and they actually wouldn't even acknowledge us until they were ready to make our drinks, so we stood there for a good ten minutes before anyone even talked to us. I get that they're busy, but a simple "I'll be with you as soon as I can" would have been nice. All in all, I think once they work out the little kinks, we'll make another visit. I hope it lasts because it's probably one of the nicest restaurants I've seen in Gilbert so far. read more

Origen was amazing. The food, the ambience and especially the service. Myrrisa was a great host and server, the best I've had in a while. Highly recommend her. The food was delicious, I ordered a bit of everything, including dessert and everything was phenomenal. I will definitely be going back to try more food. read more

The food, service and atmosphere were AMAZING! My wife and I absolutely loved the live music, only thing I'd change is maybe a little more room to cut a rug LOL! 10/10 read more

Daughter took me here for my 70th Birthday to try someplace new at my request. Just an absolutely beautiful new restaurant. Stunning interior. This will be a great place once they get over the "we've only been opened three weeks." and their website pictures updated to what they serve. Delicious complementary bean dip and salsa to start off the night. We had the Queso Fundido for an appetizer which was full of flavor and a large portion for two people. For the main we ordered Tenderloin and the Picahna. While both were good they just didn't meet my medium rare expectations, One underdone and one over done. Certainly the picahna was not served as pictured on their website. I thought for sure the Picahna would come with chimchurri sauce. Had to ask for a side. Service was fairly good but please don't bring me out canned soda and remember to take appetizer plates off the table before bringing me the main course. I'll be back maybe once they get up to speed but wouldn't do another birthday here. I'll go back to one of the other steakhouses like my daughter would have preferred. read more

Angel was an excellent server. The food was amazing. I highly recommend the ceviche appetizer. The macaroni and cheese was a surprise hit! I never would have imagined coconut in my Mac and cheese, but it was delicious. The pork belly tacos were perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. I'll definitely be back as soon as possible. read more

I experienced Origen for the first time last night, I went there to enjoy a corporate dinner and this place was absolutely amazing, from the moment you walk in. The wood on the walls and the wood burning grill creates an incredible atmosphere. And the cherry on top ....THE CHAIRS! They were sooo comfortable!! Now the food was also amazing every dish that came out was mouthwatering. I had the salmon (delicious) but I also sampled the cowboy steak and the broccolini. The broccolini was my absolute favorite thing, they drizzled a smokey balsamic vinaigrette over the broccoli and it was just the best! The staff took such great care of us even though the 30 off us were pretty overwhelming we all had an incredible time. Thank you Origen! read more

A friend and I decided to try this place. Walking in, the ambiance is stunning. Very nice, earthy and trendy. There were about 6 tables sat, it was a Wednesday at 5, so not too busy. It's a pretty big place, but they sat us all in one spot. I know they are trying to make it easier for servers and clean up, but we could hear every table's conversation, and they could hear us. When our server came to take our order, I had a question- I like cabbage and dislike truffle oil- how truffle-y is the cabbage? She said not very, but it's really good. So I ordered that and the quesobirria tacos. Right after she took our order, she brought us 3 salsas. But nothing to put it on. We were confused. Although it was never explained to us, we surmised you are supposed to use these on your entrees. For the meantime, they just sat on our table with nothing to dip in them for 20+ minutes. The food came out, and the cabbage smelled horrible, like a fart just sitting on our table. I tried a bite (I love cabbage and eat it several times a week), and all I could taste was truffle oil. When she came over to check on us, I said she could take it. She asked why? I said we didn't like it (my friend also tried it). She asked me if I wanted to take it home, which was perplexing when I said I didn't like it. Then she asked my friend if she wanted to take it home- she also declined as she didn't like it either. Then I moved on to the quesobirria tacos. I had just ordered a similar item at a different place and they were so good and the consommé was drinkable! I was excited. Ugh, they were disappointing too. They were soggy, and the meat was fatty. It felt like I was eating clumps of fat. The consommé comes in a tiny silver cup the size of a side salad dressing cup. It wasn't really dippable which I feel is kind of the point. My friend got the skirt steak and potatoes with asparagus. She thought hers was good. She ordered the chocolate cake and didn't finish it saying it was moist but nothing special. All in all- probably not the place for us. read more

The entrance sets the stage for this unique dining experience. This place gets extra points for ambiance. The design was carefully thought out. I love all of the nooks and cranny's that create beautiful intimate spots, perfect for date nights. They also have beautiful rooms for big parties. Fillet was cooked perfectly, and loved the peppers and onion with it! I had a cucumber margarita that was delish, and my husband had a red wine from Mexico that he thoroughly enjoyed. The service was great. The staff knew the menu and the drink menu well and could suggest things. They suggested the bean appetizer and it did not disappoint as well as their version of a tiramisu. Can't wait to come back and try more things. read more

Origen - Steakhouses Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We did make a reservation at 4.45 pm on a Saturday night, we were seated in the back of the restaurant within 10 minutes across from the bar. Our server was ok, did not attend to the table as needed. We had to ask for attention for our drinks and refills a couple times. Ambiance is nice since it is a new restaurant however the food is mediocre for price. Our steaks arrived cold. We ordered salmon carpaccio the arugula was not fresh all the leafs were dark. Brie cheese smelled really bad not the regular brie cheese smell. Only appetizer that was good was guacamole. Cheese quesadilla had also some type of cheese that smelled bad along with the bone narrows. They are usually served with bread which was not the case. Towards the end of our meal we decided to get desert but felt rushed that the waiter just dropped the check without saying oh hey no rush whenever you are ready or something along these lines. Unfortunately we will not coming back to this restaurant as there are many others with excellent service and food within this price range. read more

I'll be rooting for this place because it's so beautiful and hip. I'd love to hang out there. But what many Yelpers have pointed out is unfortunately true. The kitchen quality is nowhere near the pricing on the menu. I won't even go into detail. On the service front, they're really trying and truly care. They know their kitchen is a problem and can't do anything about it. They took care of us despite an unacceptable meal and I'll leave it at that. Because of the service and ambition, I will give them a second shot, hopefully after hearing good things about the kitchen. I'm no restaurant expert, but they clearly need a significant chef/back-of-house hire. I'll leave this from where it started, I'm rooting for this place. read more

We were excited to try a new local spot, and weren't disappointed. First and foremost, Maryssa provided phenomenal, friendly and professional service! She made great recommendations and has a great passion for her job. The restaurant decor and ambiance is cool. It's upscale casual with a unique feel. The food is good/great! The Caesar salad was good.....the dressing is unique. I was afraid it would be too much anchovy, but it honestly could have been a little more flavorful. The Cabernet wrap tenderloin was also good! It had a nice smoky flavor and was very tender. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but still good and my boyfriend thought it was great! The NY strip was by far my favorite. It was tender and flavorful. The fries and sauce were great too. The mashed potatoes were tasty! I don't typically like mashed cuz they're boring, but these were far from it! They have a great wine list. The wines by the glass for red wine are somewhat limited but they have good options for white wine. We passed on dessert but the molten lava cake looked like it has a great spin on the traditional dessert. Overall, great place and we didn't run into any kinks despite it being new! Can't wait to come back! read more

Great, attentive service. It's a great environment for a nice dining experience with friends or for a date night. Delicious food, the steak melted in our mouth. I love fish, tuna is my least favorite though, however the tuna appetizer was good maybe not worth $38. The elote was amazing with great flavor, perfect addition to the steak. I also had the churro and expresso infused whisky cocktail, it's a must get drink, especially if you are a expresso martini drinker. read more

I wish I'd paid attention to the slew of negative reviews. TLDR - mediocre and overpriced food with extremely slow service. Epic fail. We were really looking forward to dining here for a special occasion, but unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. Despite noting a birthday twice in our reservation and mentioning it again to the host staff upon arrival, it went entirely unacknowledged--disappointing, especially for what was meant to be a celebratory evening. Service was consistently slow throughout the night, and communication was lacking. We were told they were out of three of the four entrées we initially tried to order--not what you expect from a restaurant at this price point. When our entrees finally arrived, they brought no new silverware after clearing what we used for appetizers, so we were left sitting awkwardly until we flagged someone down. As for the food, it was underwhelming. The $58 pork mole dish in particular was barely warm and lacked depth of flavor. No one at our table asked for a to-go box. Overall, a disappointing experience with too many avoidable missteps to overlook. If you've read this far, do yourself a favor and skip this restaurant. For reference, our bill for 4 was ~$300 with only 1 cocktail and no desserts. It's clear that the owner / management either doesn't care about poor reviews or doesn't know how to correct the issues. We certainly won't be back. read more

I had high hopes based on the website pictures. Rustic guacamole looked delicious - in person it was overly whipped and tasted like premade plastic cup grocery store guacamole. The tortillas were tasteless and hard, lacking salt. Had several items from the menu and they were All misses. The street corn was sad and cold. The picana tacos were very rich and greasy, with huge pieces of fat in all of them. The food was all very rich, not in a good way. Really wanted to like this place . . . It just misses big given the prices. read more

All these bad reviews confuse me, it's like people are looking to leave a bad review . The food is great . Salsas are great . The food is creative and well worth every dollar . To be honest the should charge more for the desserts and some of the main courses . Savoy cabbage = Bangin Queso = Bomb Empanadas= Bomb The Tuna was the star of the App show. So freaking good . Look , if you want to go out for an amazing meal in a very nice restaurant go to Origen . If your going to nit pick every little thing get behind the counter and see if you can do better . I KNOW for a fact anyone leaving a bad review has not worn a coat . Nice job Origen . See you again soon Oh , the Gouda flan sounded different but we took a chance . Get it . So amazing . These guys are doing it right . read more

was really excited about trying this place. We were a party of 5 with a two year old, celebrating my son in laws birthday. I arrived and there was no one at the front desk for seating. Waited a bit and then went around the corner to see if anyone actually worked here. Waited a total of ten minutes before someone came up front. We had reservations and the place was empty. She asks me to wait a few so she can go set up our table. Again after a very long wait she comes back and takes us to our table. Server came and brought our water and took our drink order and app order. Daughter asked if they had a kids menu and they said no. This is not a kid friendly place so do not bother if you have kids. Drinks took a long time to come out. Appetizer finally came out and I realized we needed to order another one because it was not enough for the whole table. Tried to get the servers attention. Had to flag down a different server to ask ours to come to the table. Watched as she talked to our server and instead of coming to our table she went about her business and eventually made time for us. Appetizers were good by the way. Service follow up was no-existent. Dinner came out and my daughters burger was very good. But the rest of the meals were alright. I ordered the Barbacoa, flavor was good but not much else. Tortillas were overcooked and not much accompanied it. For the price and the service this place is not worth it. If you have children, stay away, not kid friendly at all. I understand that too. But make sure you let people know that kids are not welcome here. Not coming back read more

Needs work on the front of the house host staff. As an upscale restaurant just starting out in Gilbert- remember that the first face of your business should not be an 18 year old on a power trip, it should be a skilled professional, or you are losing business and repeat customers. When my husband and I visited, we were forced to sit inside at the bar after making a reservation ~ because we didn't want to sit outside, The restaurant was empty. They say they were overbooked, I get that, but we literally looked at 10+ open tables for the 2 hrs that we were there that sat empty. We tried to give our reservation outside to a 4 top party - they told the group that they couldn't have it, and the group left. No one was even seated outside at the time. I did love the service at the bar. Sarah and her team in the box are professional and she deserves the clientele that a good host staff can bring. The food was ok but when you have a bad taste in your mouth it's tough to recover . We will definitely give this spot another shot- but know your clientele and get better! read more

You seemed to be either understaffed on a Friday night or your servers are terribly inexperienced, rude, and aloof to the customer. Such a shame since your food itself is five stars. Your singer was pretty good though, just loud for such a busy night. It was difficult to carry out a conversation. read more

Really wanted to like Origen but I was underwhelmed. The wait time even with a reservation was absurd and the food was super unimpressive. I did really enjoy the guac and steak but my entree of steak was terrible. Super charred on the outside which made it unappealing to eat. The inside was cool! I will give them grace cause I went probably a month after opening and they were a bit unorganized. read more

Been to this restaurant 2 times in a week. Not because we wanted to but because 2 couples of our friends wanted to go. First night I ordered tacos and the were not memorable considering it was $38 for 4 tacos. Taco shells were chewy. Many items on menu were not in stock. 2nd night we ordered the Chicken Mary. It was so salty that we could only eat half of it. Pretty good service from Chris, our waiter, even though he did disappear once for about 15 minutes Hats off to Ryan and Sarah at the bar. We arrived at 6 for a 6:45 reservation so we could relax at the bar. At 6:15 the hostess showed up and said our table was ready. We only had finished 1/2 of our drinks so we said that we would wait until 6:45. About 10 minutes later the hostess showed back up and said that it would be more convenient for the restaurant for us to come to our table at 6:30 rather than 6:45. I had to tell her again that we were finishing our drinks and would be ready at 6:45. Very poor attitude from a restaurant hyping itself as "upscale". Only thing upscale here was price! read more

Origen - Inside the main dining area - Steakhouses Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

The decor is over the top cool. Great vibe, interesting, unusual. Lots of wood in so many different applications. Loved the atmosphere. We were seated in a great location where we could check out the entire place- the kitchen, the bar, the crowd. The place was full but it wasn't noisy. Our waitress was so good, she was personable, welcoming, helpful. I apologize for not remembering her name. She walked us through the menu, gave us a few suggestions, took our drink order. We then got the complimentary tostadas with bean dip. Fun presentation. We shared the octopus and the 4 beef tacos. The octopus was delicious and so tender. The tacos came out with 2 big bones with the bone marrow exposed. The waitress explained that we put the bone marrow on the taco and it gives it a creamy, buttery flavor. I was a bit apprehensive but followed her advice - the tacos were yummy. The menu has a lot of variety. We are excited about finding this new place. Can't wait to share with friends and family. read more

Beeaaauuuutiful restaurant! Walking in, the female behind the counter was on the phone and didn't do or say a thing to let us know anything- just kept talking so we stood there for a kind waitstaff person to see us and walk us in to be seated. We have heard about the steaks and were very excited to enjoy a dinner. My filet mignon was sliced into 3 pieces upon arrival- no substitutions for their side of chunky mashed potatoes with a side of onions and jalapeños, had to order an extra side to get what I wanted. The truffle fries were outstanding. My steak came out room temp, got a warm-up and couldn't finish it as my medium rare order had dried out. Dishes were chipped and wine glasses were clean, but not clear. I don't know, I'm sure I'm asking too much but polishing up beautiful wine glasses is worth an effort, there were enough employees standing around chatting with each other to make that happen. My son and daughter in law had an amazing meal with them the night before but they ordered other items. Still looking for a good steak. This wasn't it. Potatoes had a very nice flavor, I just don't like the big chunks mixed in. The menu is beautiful and great pictures of food help a lot. read more

The ambiance is beautiful, kind of hard to find as their sign faces opposite direction of parking. They are new so I take this in consideration as the server forgot settings, to refill water and to check on us throughout the meal. Meat was very delicious but remember to order sides at the same time as ours did not come out together and the ribs were rare not what we ordered and when they took them back it took a long time to return and we were done with meal. The drinks are different, I liked them but it took about 20 to 30 minutes and they mixed up the order, ugh. In time I am sure they will dial it in but for now be patient, order all at once and ask server to check on you every 20 minutes. read more
