    Chimayo Chicken

    We met friends here for lunch yesterday. I was a little worried about ordering the right "heat" for me since this is NM-style food. But, our waitress was so helpful and described the dishes perfectly! I had the Chimayo Chicken and it was delicious! The different flavors and textures were so good. The signature mashed potatoes tasty and the asparagus was perfectly cooked. This was a wonderful spot for lunch on a hot summer day. Stop in!

    Brought out of town friends and once again Richardsons never disappoints. I had the chorizo stuffed pork chop and it was excellent and a big enough portion to have a full meal the next day. The onion ring appetizer is always amazing. Our guest loved everything put down in front of them. The best part of visiting Richardsons (aside from the food) is the eclectic menu. If you are looking for Taco Bell standards this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a great atmosphere with a very unique take on Mexican then Richardsons should be your first choice in Phoenix. Don't let the under 4 Yelp rating fool you, this is one of the best places in Phoenix and i cannot recommend it high enough! "FIMP" Food is my Passion

    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.

    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!

    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

    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

    Chorizo queso & chips
    Vicky C.

    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!

    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!

    Taos Combo
    Ron R.

    This restaurant was recommended by a colleague. We dined here for the first time for dinner. They have an expensive patio, which looked great, but I was overruled. We ate inside, which is nice and dark. Our service this trip was very slow. Secondly, we were charged for 3 glasses of wine we did not order. We ordered the Cadillac Margarita 4.5/5, Taos Combo 4/5, NEW MEXICAN QUESO 3/5 (more spinach dip than queso), QUESADILLAS Chicken 4/5, BACON WRAPPED GRILLED SHRIMP 5/5, and salmon off blackboard 4/5. Huge portions.

    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!

    First of all, we usually get salads and I really appreciate the fact that there is a healthy and…read moreaffordable option right around the corner from our house. We decided today we wanted to try the wraps for the first time. My husband ordered the fajita wrap and Decided he wanted steak so there was a $1.25 uplift for that. He said it was tasty, but some of the steak pieces were a bit chewy. He loved the heat level and it was chock full of fajita type veggies I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and I enjoy the hot sauce and blue cheese mix of dressing. I only have one complaint and that is I had opted out of carrots and they gave me a choice to add something else so I said tomatoes and they basically put whole cherry tomatoes in my wrap, which were kind of impossible to eat . Those really need to be sliced up or use a different kind of tomato, but I'll not make that mistake again! All in all- great option when you want to eat fresh and decently healthy food- I order the dressing on the side to keep it lighter as well.

Their prices are great and for the portion size, you can't complain. This time around, I went to the drive-thru and ordered the Cobb Salad with ranch dressing (instead of blue cheese). The lady over the intercom said, "oohhkayyy." When I got to the window, the guy asked if it was okay if it had blue cheese crumbles on top. I wasn't feeling blue cheese, but I kept quiet to avoid confrontation, plus it seems the salads are pre-made that way. Other than that, this place was quick and the drive-thru was efficient and convenient for me. The salads here are always on point and today's Cobb was no exception. I also like their flavored lemonades, but resisted temptation today, lol.

    **July 2026: Saturday Night Visit**…read more My friend and I had been eating a lot of heavy food this summer and were really craving something healthy and nutritious. It was also pretty late on a Saturday night, so we wanted something fast and convenient, which led us to Flower Child. Flower Child is such a great fast-casual spot if you're looking for a lighter meal with bowls, salads, wraps, and plenty of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options. It's especially nice if you want something veggie-forward or gluten-free. We decided to order the Turkey Cobb salad for $14.45 and a seasonal summer salad for $13.95, which had strawberries, heirloom tomato, watermelon, quinoa, marcona almonds, arugula, and balsamic dressing. We also added shrimp for $7.45 and got their housemade lemonades, which were really refreshing. The meal was exactly what we were looking for. My body definitely appreciated the nutrient-dense food, but it still felt light, which was perfect since we were eating so late. I'm definitely a fan!

Food is delivered fast, within about 5-10 minutes after ordering at the counter. Staff here is friendly, patient and helpful when someone who can't decide between all of the options is in front of them. :) I ordered "the rebel" French dip and loved every bite of it. I especially loved the little side salad that came with it that I wasn't expecting. The French dip itself was savory, tender, flavorful and the horseradish added the perfect "kick" to the wrap. I'd definitely order it again but there were also so many other things that I'd try on the menu! I'll stop back every time I'm in Arizona because it's worth the trip to try everything that looks so yummy!

    This use to be my favorite place for protein shakes, been coming here for years.. great customer…read moreservice every time. Today my friend and I had a bad experience. I ordered a protein shake and it was too watery so I asked if they can make it thicker. As they were remaking my shake my friend was standing in line to order because she didn't know what to get yet so I gave her my watery shake I didn't want since we already drank out of it and the lady at the front ( seemed to be the manager) said to my friend I'm going to have to take the shake from you. They threw the shake in the trash anyways so i don't know why my friend couldn't keep it. So since they were so rude we went somewhere else to eat and got great service. Terrible service at this location which sucks because i use to walk here all the time for their shakes :( Update: to clarify your confusion it wasn't about the shake being horrible it was about the rude interaction from employee or manager that said we're gonna need to take that shake away and since we already drank out if it, it was being thrown in trash. So that's just a waste and rude on her part that she could have let us keep it. As a customer service worker that was bad customer service. As you should know as a business owner, customer service one of the most important things when it comes to the food industry
