Dick's Hideaway

I am in the Phoenix area for only a few days so I asked some friends that used to live here for a recommendation for a good Mexican restaurant. They put me onto Dick's Hideaway. They said it was their all-time favorite place for Mexican food. It was a real find. Growing up in the area where Hatch chili is grown can spoil a person for good Mexican food elsewhere. The food here made me feel like I was back home. I have to say though that the best part was the people. Absolutely everyone, ... the owner, the wait staff, and even the other customers were super friendly. Top it off with great atmosphere and you have a gem of a place to eat. Aloha Dick! Mahalo Nui!!!

Food was exceptions here. I ordered a fancy margarita and was fairly impressed. The stuffed jalapeños were awesome. Brussel sprouts were ok. Pasta was also fresh and delicious and the platters are just simply the best. Everything is Larger portions. Note: Some limited seating and a lot of communal tables, but I thought that was nicely done. Good wine lists here. Interior is slightly dark and intimate.I honestly can't wait to go back.

Visited this weekend and was a little let down, Me, my wife and a friend sat at the bar and the server walked up a few mins later and gave them both water but i guess he didn't see me some how and didn't bring me a glass haha.Ordered the skewers and they tasted almost spoiled shrimp was hard(overcooked), steak was almost sour. It was on the other hand a big portion so I'm guess it was just a one off on the flavor.Ordered a Michelada and waiter didn't ask what kind of beer i wanted, came out tasting like a craft beer in the drink, also could have been colder :(Used the restroom and was surprised that they had an entire tray of the stuff jalapeño sitting on a box directly in-front of the RR door, thinking those should be in a walk in somewhere.Didn't get any photos was left disappointed.

Dicks hideaway is hands down my favorite New Mexican place! My favorite thing to order is the enchiladas. The brunch version comes with I believe 2 enchiladas, eggs on top, beans, potatoes, and a tortilla. The dinner comes with 3 enchiladas, beans, rice, tortilla and no eggs on top. You also can select three different fillings for your enchiladas and my personal fave is the pork. Service is pretty good but I've had a time where they forgot to put our order in for I think it was bacon wrapped shrimp (which are delicious btw) and they ended up taking that off our bill which I was pleased with. Brunch is insane! This place does not take reservations and typically we walk right in but be cautious about Sunday afternoons because we tried going once and the line was out the door. It's really dark in here and looks like it was an old house or something because of you go to their bathroom in the back of the restaurant there is like a shower in there haha but it's just a funky vibe that is really charming. I think it adds to the dining experience and it's the kinda place where I always hear people say yeah this place is our fave. It's definitely ours as well!

Well the food is amazing! The ambiance is very interesting as well. It's a good spot for some solid southwestern food!!!!

We went here for my husband's birthday and this place did not disappoint at all! Everything was perfect from the food to the ambiance to the above and beyond service! If you haven't tried this place than you must go bc you'll be back for more that's for sure! We had so much food that we had leftovers for a few days bc they give you so much!

Love love love this place!! The food here is always fabulous and the atmosphere is always lively. The place is very small so it's not good for groups. Also, there is no sign outside that says Dicks Hideaway! You just have to know where this restaurant is. It's in between the hedges. But back to the food because the food is really the star of this restaurant! The sausages, the bacon wrapped scallops the steaks the enchiladas everything here is absolutely fabulous and you can't go wrong with whatever you decide to order. I highly highly highly recommend this place especially if you like very spicy food. The food is always flavored so well and the drinks are always on point! You gotta give this place a try!

This is one of the places that I miss most in Phoenix. My friend introduced me to this (literally) hidden gem on 16th & Bethany. There are no signs for it, it's tucked between some other businesses in the plaza, and if you didn't know where you were going...you wouldn't know where you were going. That being said, once I found out about this place, I frequented it very often, I would have gone daily if my budget and belly had been able to afford it! It's super small and dark, but cozy and inviting at the same time. There were times we waited, especially during peak hours, but it was always worth it.Service was always top notch - whether we sat at the bar or were in one of the corner tables. And the food and drink were just...amazing. Everything from a simple mimosa or bloody to a craft cocktail was just delicious. And their food...heavenly, divine, out of this world. They had the best bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers; I can't order those anywhere without nearly guaranteed disappointment compared to this place. As far as entrees, I don't think I ever had anything I didn't absolutely love, but carne adovada was probably among the best. I also had their seafood linguine, pasta heidi, and quesadilla. Portions were MASSIVE, I usually had leftovers for at least 2 days. In short, if you are looking for a new local favorite, your search ends here!

Our monthly dinner friends brought us to Dick's Hideaway; it is approximately named, it is hidden. It's tiny but comfortable.The food was delicious and very well plated. Our server was pleasant.They don't take reservations and it is tiny, so make sure to arrive early.

Dick's Hideaway was an awesome hidden gem on a recent trip to Arizona for the Final Four. It is very hidden, it is an unmarked door next to a nail salon. The interior is filled with dusty wine bottles and is somewhat Southwestern themed. It is perfect. The portions are insane. We came for brunch and I got the Midwestern. It can easily be split for two people - but they do charge for that. Everything on the platter was really nicely cooked, and I hated leaving so much food behind. I got my breakfast with a side of the Jalapeno hashbrowns. They were super good and crispy. I also got the level 2 green chile and the Habanero salsa on the side. Both were super good, but if you aren't a fan of hot stuff order it on the side. I'd highly recommend coming here, and am looking forward to coming back again sometime!
