    Omar was an amazing server he was attentive and funny. We love coming here and sitting outside on such a nice day. The food was amazing as always. The chilaquiles ribeye was such a great price and tasted amazing. The New Mexico enchiladas pork was great as it always is.

    Had a wonderful weekend lunch special, fish tacos, delicious flavor, cooked to flaky fish perfection. Good portion size too. Served with spicy green chile sauce

    OK, I'm coming in hard. I usually judge Mexican restaurant by it in a new Mexican restaurant especially a new Mexican restaurant by green chili enchiladas with an easy egg on top which should consist of a garnishment of shredded lettuce and tomatoes as well. Onions is optional generally, I don't do the onion, but I don't mind if they put them on there but anyway that's what I considered to be a enchilada for whatever reason, I don't know the enchilada I have just didn't take me back to New Mexico. It didn't remind me of that Southwest 505 vibe. My wife come to understand is this is actually New Mexico food from the 575 which is closer to Las Cruces and El Paso Ruidoso and of course they have a different way of doing enchiladas there. I understood that that's when I realize why the chicken was so chunky it just seemed under prepared to me to enroll in. I don't know what I expect from the chicken but not just a chicken thrown into a tortilla and rolled up with some sauce over it. I'm not saying that's what I got the food. Here was excellent. It was very good for southern New Mexican food. I will go back for a special occasion. Maybe if I have a driver for some beverages I wasn't able to try a cocktail but that look like an excellent area bar and a cocktail area. Oh yeah, that's where it was jumping and the seating area was cozy and personal. I really love the way the table set up was it's very comfortable in homie feeling as far as I'll be on so yeah it's 120% on ambience. I'll just have to take a trip to Southern New Mexico and get used to the enchiladas out that way, but it was delicious. I recommend everybody try it at least once valet parking is mandatory

    The food was delicious, service was speedy, and the atmosphere was unique. I loved the booths. I highly recommend their pasta- the sauce was delicious and the duck tasted amazing. Their New Mexican platter was also filling and well worth the cost. Overall, very much worth the visit- just be aware that parking is vallet only :)

    Breakfast and brunch menu

    One of my favorites breakfasts in Phoenix. This place has excellent southwestern style food. For breakfast I highly recommend Vic's meatloaf and eggs. It is ridiculous. Service is always top notch. I usually sit at the bar but I've also sat at a table and it's been flawless every time. Coffee is good. Even the water is great; comes in an ice cold carafe for the table. The vibe is quintessential uptown Phoenix. It's southwest (New Mexican) but slightly upscale. It would be great for a date, a group meal, and drinks. The bar is fully stocked and fairly social. Friendly vibes all around. And, as is typical on Sunday morning, people are drinking mimosas my 8:30am . Also, the lighting is perfect. Lighting makes such a huge difference. Here the color is warm, dim, but not dark. It is both intimate and inviting. Great vibe. Food is spicy, tasty, authentic, and delicious. They've been here for years and I can see why. An uptown gem.

    My Dad is visiting from California and LOVES southwestern food so I took him to Richardson's for brunch. They serve brunch everyday till 4pm, which is awesome. We both had a Bloody Mary that comes with all the fixings and side of beer. My Dad ordered the Richardson's combo which was one Jalapeño Benedict & 2 Chicken Enchiladas with a side of asparagus. The asparagus was cooked perfect. It was crisp, bright green, and complimented the meal and sauces. I ordered a vegetarian Jalepeno Benedict with pinto beans and hash browns which was delicious! The portions are huge! My Dad loved it so much he was like John Candy in the Great Outdoors trying to finish the Old 96er! We ended up bringing left overs home, ha! Richardson's is the best New Mexican cuisine you will find in Arizona, hands down!

    Chorizo queso & chips

    I love the ambiance of this restaurant. The inside has dimmed lighting with candles on every table, the outside patio is surrounded in greenery and also a vibe. I stopped by for happy hour 4-6 on a Monday and the restaurant was not busy at all so the service was prompt. I got a house margarita and smoked peach margarita (Had a Smokey favor) We had the queso & chips and ordered carne asada enchiladas with the habanero sauce! My mouth was on fire but in a good way lol so if you like spice get the habanero!

    Huevos Rancheros (X-Mas)
    Joe F.

    Elevated NM food and it's the best! Whether it's Richardsons, Rokerij or Dick's Hideaway your always in for a treat and they have some of the best NM Chile around. We mostly come here for brunch and every meal is amazing! If you can stand the heat I highly recommend trying the level 2 green chile!

    Biscuits and gravy with eggs and jalapeño hashbrowns
    Dave W.

    By far the best breakfast in the entire value. We've been there a couple dozen times and it never fails to deliver. A diverse menu, unmatched service, and great cocktails. You really can't go wrong. It's the one place I make sure I take guests who are visiting the valley. Dinner is spectacular as well.

    What vegan options does this restaurant have?

    Not sure since they don't have vegetarian red or green chile unlike every restaurant I've eaten in in NM (I lived there). Not good.

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    Absolutely!

    Decided to go to First Watch since I was familiar with the franchise after going to one in Houston…read more This location is within a rather small parking lot which seems to be dedicated to First Watch, we were able to find a spot near the back of the lot but it was quite crowded when we arrived around 11am. The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

I normally get the sunrise breakfast sandwich and it hits the spot. I love how they toast the bread with butter so it's extra delightful when you bite into the sandwich. They also have fresh squeezed orange juice! The service to me has always been normal- not over the top but also just enough to know you are being taken care of. Perfect when I'm half awake on the weekend. The weekends can get pretty busy but there is a good amount of parking available. Coffee is pretty good for a fast casual restaurant as well + a fairly good price.

One thing to know is there is no table service. You order at the counter and they have a lot of choices so if you have never been there it's hard to decide while other people are waiting behind you. I came with my mom and we were craving pancakes so again didn't get any eggs which is what they are known for and their breakfast pizzas. So I'll come back to try those. We split buttermilk pancakes and a cinnamon roll. They do have real maple syrup but of course they up charge for the good stuff. The pancakes are ok but don't taste like buttermilk pancakes. They looked good but it definitely tasted like a mix and not a good one. They were way overly sweet. They weren't terrible but just not great. 4/10 on the pancake scale. The cinnamon roll also tasted like a store bought premade roll. It was also kind of burnt and didn't taste like anything. The only good thing was the coffee which I was highly skeptical about because it was serve yourself from a carafe. But it was good and strong. Nice views of the mountains and the patio is dog friendly. I want to like this place because it's in my neighborhood so next time I'll try the eggs dishes. Also they have several veggie/vegan selections so I'll come back for those too and to bring my dog.

The staff was friendly throughout our stay, and the overall property has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy the sunshine and scenery. We booked an upgraded suite with a separate bedroom and TV room, which gave us plenty of space to spread out. While the layout was great, the room itself could use some updates. The bathroom fixtures were older--the Kohler toilet didn't flush well and was a bit noisy, and the tub/shower combo had rounded sides that made it tricky to stand comfortably. The shower water also never got fully hot. The room had a slightly musty smell, and the carpets would benefit from a deep cleaning. The balcony screen door didn't close tightly, which let a few flies in, and access to the second floor required two sets of stairs since there's no elevator in that section. Even with those issues, the resort's location, views, and overall vibe made the stay enjoyable. With some room refreshes and a bit more maintenance attention, this could easily be a standout property. The setting alone is worth experiencing.

    I was looking for a good staycation while also earning American Airlines AAdvantage miles and…read moreloyalty points to maintain my status for another year. I found a great AAdvantage Hotel deal at the Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort and booked it. While it was a great success of a visit in terms of AAdvantage miles and loyalty points, my actual experience at the hotel itself was less to be desired due to the customer service and a big snafu on their part. I also have Hilton Gold status, though as I booked the hotel through a third party site (AAdvantage Hotels), I could see the stay and the stay history in my Hilton app, but I did not receive any benefits for staying there, which was fine as I didn't expect any anyone. I arrived in person to check in and already reserved and prepaid for a King 1 Bedroom Standard Suite, which had a nice view and reasonably spacious room (but not too much larger than a regular room at another hotel). The room was certainly not upgraded though there was parking available right in front of the entrance. I did not receive anything else at check-in nor did it appear that I'd get my regularly complimentary water. I did pay the daily resort charge which includes high speed internet access, access to the Falls Water Village, an hour at the tennis/pickleball court, an hour at the afternoon golf practice facility, two hours for a mountain bike rental, 20% off seasonal spa services, and 15% off select golf apparel. While I didn't use it, I had easy view and access to the Falls Water Village where you could lounge and play all day on their sun-marked terrace where you could find free-form pools, hot tubs, and cabanas. They even have a 138-foot enclosed water slide. When I checked out, I was told that a bill would be sent to me shortly since I did it on the app early, and when I received the bill, there was a charge for my room at the restaurant at the top of the hill called A Different Point of View. The catch is that I never went to eat there during my stay (or at any onsite restaurant since I live in the area and had my meals offsite). I reached out to the hotel who insisted that I did go there to eat. I promised them I didn't eat anywhere onsite and that they need to look at the receipt and see if it actually has my room number. They confirmed it did and that this meant I ate there. I told them to find my name on it and let me know if it was on there. After several more back and forth conversations, they confirmed it wasn't me and would remove the charge. They then mistakenly charged me double. Then they removed one charge, but it took more than a week before they removed the other charge. By the end of the exchanges, it felt like they were blaming me for their own mistake. While the resort is aged and rather pleasant, there certainly are training issues regarding the customer service offered at this property. I do not plan on staying here again in the future.
