Food and service were both excellent! We've been searching all over the valley for Fortaleza Tequila and were so excited to finally find a spot that had it. Definitely worth the hunt!

Great food and the place is very cute! A couple of tv's and a bar area if you are looking for a spot to watch a game. Service was fantastic! Definitely recommend! read more

What a lovely local surprise!! New to the hood, Parachos is exactly what this neighborhood needed: a well appointed, welcoming gathering spot with a short but yummy menu, delicious beverages, and engaging staff. We enjoyed the guacamole which is served with toasted, Tajin-sprinkled tostada shells, followed by an assortment of hearty tacos: sweet potato, carne asada, and chicken tinga. Dan, who will be now referred to as "Dan-tastic," was both our bartender and server, mixed us some spicy mango margaritas that were so good we had to order a second round! We have high hopes for this delightful and delicious neighborhood eatery - if you live in or venture into the DC Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch or Grayhawk communities - please give Parachos a try!! read more

Food and service was amazing. We had wonderful cocktails and shared an appetizer and the Sea Bass . Wow, just amazing!

Drinks were great and food was even better. Tapas type of Mexican restaurant which is great if you want to try a little bit of everything without breaking the bank. read more

Parachos Tacos Y Tragos - Great Happy Hour. - Tacos Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We came for the first time on a Friday night at about 8 pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lighting seems way, way too bright. Turn those lights down a tad and it will be a really nice ambiance! The bright lights make it feel light a fast casual spot instead of a sit down place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The napkins too are really flimsy - they need an upgrade![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered a spicy margarita which was not on the menu - there was barely a hint of heat. Tasting the peppers it was obvious they were really weak however the jalapeños were barely muddled. They could learn how to make a better one at the formerly named Twisted Grove (now Collins Brothers Chophouse). We placed our order and it took a while for the guacamole to come out - and it was very tasty - chock full of small diced tomatoes, jalapeños and onions. The three crispy tostadas were a nice change from chips and just the right amount for the amount of guac. Then taco order didn't come out...the server said he had forgotten to enter them and he was comping our drinks which was very nice. The beef birria queso taco was extremely flavorful and nowhere near as greasy as those I've had elsewhere. The dipping juice had some bits of onion and tomatoes and was deeply flavored. The chicken tinga taco was creamy and soft also with good flavor. Have never really been fond of the double tortilla thing however this was the night I realized why it is really necessary - the chicken filling was falling all over the place when the tortilla kept breaking apart. It might have been because the dish was sitting in the pass too long before we received it. Hopefully they will keep adding to the menu. We hear there is a happy hour so we will likely return for that soon! read more

Parachos Tacos Y Tragos - Two sweet potato tacos and a chicken tinga taco. DELICIOUS. - Tacos Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Oh. My. Gosh. Found this place about a year after it opened, and it's absolutely fantastic. It's not a "fancy" place, more of a local joint, but the execution on the food and cocktails is absolutely rock solid. Lucked into visiting on Taco Tuesday and had the street tacos. All three (steak, chicken, and birria) were amazing. I will certainly be coming back! read more

Our first visit to this new spot was wonderful. We met some friends for dinner, cocktails, and great company. The hospitality and service are impeccable. The walls are lined with family photos and it's such a welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious; guacamole and ceviche are served with fresh tostadas. The steak in the carne asada taco was so full of flavor. The cocktails are imaginative, balanced, and pair perfectly with the food options. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent food, great staff, nice area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will go back. We had a burrito and fajitas, and both were very good.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cozy little spot in the Bashas marketplace[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is cool and dark a great retreat from the blazing Arizona sun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The tacos are delicious and the classic margarita is tasty. My husband had a torta and said it was good. The menu is succinct not over crowded with selections. I always think that gives the kitchen more of a focus. I recommend Parachos for lunch or happy hour. read more

Pulled up in the parking lot as a second choice as our first choice Mexican restaurant was closed due to "summer hours". All I can say is having "summer hours" is going to lose a lot of business to this place as it is now our first choice local Mexican. I thought this was a walk-in counter order taco joint. Far from it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool sit down bar with dining area tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, healthy and TASTY Mexican food with really tasty cocktails.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you haven't tried it you are missing out. read more

Parachos Tacos Y Tragos - Tacos Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

To begin with, there was no one to greet us. The bartender/waitress came walking out with her nose buried into phone and looked like she just left palates class with her apparel. If I wanted that I would have gone to Twin Peaks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music / ambiance made it seem like a higher end place, but I guess I was wrong.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chips and salsa were good, but we did have more salsa than tostadas. Our entrees were good as well. The carne tacos were a bit tough, but that's a preference thing I suppose. I know this place is brand new, but I think having more than one person serving at lunch hour would help out a lot to get people to return. read more

Fun & consistent service. I've been there twice but I now crave the fabulous sweet potato taco! Pairs nicely with a Dos Equis lager with lime ‍. The salsa and chips are tasty. My friend got the classic margarita and birria on the happy hour menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a nice, small, quiet local spot to have drinks with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back! read more

OK, I've been here 2x in a week! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is comfortable inside, not too stuffy, not too casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff (including the owner) is friendly and efficient. Drinks are generous, beer is cold. Food is outrageously tasty! I have to go back soon to try more items from the menu. Love the rice, guacamole, beans & the tacos are delicious! Please give this spot a try, you won't be disappointed. At first, I thought it was odd that food was served on a small metal tray, but why not?! read more

My husband and I joined a friend there for a late lunch on Friday. The bar was full, but plenty of open tables to sit down and eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is casual and the staff greeted us immediately.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the shrimp cerviche topped with Tajin along with two Birria Tortas. The cerviche was so fresh and flavorful, I could have eaten it by itself! We all shared the tortas, and that birria sauce was to die for. I would absolutely order both of them again. I felt the price was good for Scottsdale, and plenty of food for the three of us. We even had a personal call with the owner, and he was very kind. This is a place to go after a long day of work to just chill with friends, relax and get a good bite to eat for a good price. read more

5 out 5 every time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazed they aren't busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Margaritas, ceviche and tacos are always amazing.

Blown away! I like most foods all of the time so this was a nice reminder that there are still places that can surprise you with food above the majority! What I mean is, this meal is one of the best I've had in a while! I assumed it would be good, I'm rarely disappointed with tacos and margaritas, "can't mess them up" is what I say. But from beginning to end, every bite had so much flavor and tasted so high quality, I kept thinking to myself, "that was REALLY good!" throughout the entire meal. Our table shared some guacamole with break apart tortillas. I ordered ceviche, a sweet potato taco and a surprise taco - I asked them to just make me something. I don't want to keep repeating myself, but I can't explain enough how good it all was! Like, I'll remember these tacos for a long time and measure every taco after this against these! Lastly, I have to mention the top tier drinks! The bartender is a friend, whose career I love to follow around the valley! I know his quality and seriousness about his craft and it shows in every drink he makes! They're always perfect and never boring! Oh, and the restaurant is nice, good lighting, clean, plenty of seating! read more

My son and I ate there for the first time and I was amazed! The food is fresh,flavorful, and well portioned. I had the shrimp tacos Pacheco style with fresh guacamole and refried beans in a word superb. This place is family run and is a must go! read more

So it was my birthday night and I had lunch with friends and my Starbucks birthday reward but still wanted to treat myself. Had just heard about Parachos, just up the street from me, so decided to try it. Slightly hesitated as it was totally empty, but so what? As a solo, I decided to sit at the bar, met the bartender, and then Dave, the owner, came in from the kitchen. Of course, a margarita was first, and then since I don't usually eat meat, a chicken tinga taco, followed by their sweet potato one. Both so tasty that they barely needed their extra salsas right from the squeeze bottles. And since it was my birthday, a treat from them - a watermelon margarita! Good food and good conversation, especially when one of their friends came in, so it was like four friends at a neighborhood bar. The perfect birthday capper. Thanks read more

Love the food! We've tried all the tacos and love them all. My family has had the Tortas and they loved those too. The skinny marg is spot on! The the tequila selections is fantastic! Give it a try! read more

Tacos, burritos this place is better than Guido's. Been saving up for a taco here. Can't wait to dive in. Here I come!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is great neighborhood hang out and also for those visiting for the first time[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The staff is so welcoming. Their ceviche, tacos and tequila selection make this place a standout Scottsdale! YUM! read more

Amazing tacos, killer margaritas, and a guac you'll crave later. The tequila selection is huge, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibe is perfect -- cozy, fun, and full of character.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owner is super friendly and clearly loves what they do. A must-visit spot! read more

Tried this place for the first time and it was fantastic! Highly recommend the Birria Torta!

If you love fresh, flavorful Mexican food, Parachos will be your new favorite place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt like I walked into a hidden gem in Mexico with the dark decor, wooden bar and amazing service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken tinga tacos were SO flavorful - wow. Truly, it was a flavor bomb in mouth. I had the carne asada tacos too which were equally delicious. There were two different (homemade) hot sauces that I dabbled on top as well. I'm already dying to go back and try the other tacos! I loved the ceviche too -- there was no skimping on the shrimp and avocado! The server told me that they use the chicken tinga to make quesadillas as well, so I'm already planning to take my kids back later this week. Five stars for my first time at Parachos! read more

New, warm and friendly staff, food and drinks were wonderful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unassuming, relaxing, environment if you're in that mood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can say we'll definitely be back. Have lived in DC Ranch for 20 years and this charming restaurant serves a unique regional taste reasonably priced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Menu provides a bit of family history that's worthy reading and look for the handmade guitars hanging on the wall (Parachos famous for the guitars).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were pleasantly surprised and think you will be too! read more

First time in and I ordered the watermelon margarita and it was delicious. The bartender even made delicious mocktails for the kids which they loved.

Closed on Sunday? This is my second time in a row coming down here and it's closed. I'm never coming back.

We decided to give Paracho's a try even though they haven't been open very long. The menu is still limited but has a number of interesting options. My wife and I started with cocktails, her the Il Fresca and I had the Mexcado. Both were well balanced and tasty. We ordered the guacamole and it was delicious. Very flavorful and the tortillas were sprinkled with tajin for a nice contrast. I the had the Birria Torta and really liked it. The bread was perfect for soaking up the tasty consommé. One of the best birria dishes I have had. My wife had the sweet potato tacos and ate every bite. Luckily as the only vegetarian option she said she would order them again. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and truly cared about our experience. We will definitely be back read more

Fantastic service for a small business in Scottsdale! The cocktails & tacos were amazing!

They have a very limited menu right now, but the tacos were excellent. The chips and salsa leave much to be desired, though, because they served prefab'd crunchy tostada shells as "chips." The tortas were delicious. read more
