Absolutely LOVE McCayo's. Been coming to their various locations for many years. They have been a stable in the Valley since 1946! This new location replaces the old Native New Yorker close to the Harkins theater. The staff was friendly. We were seated fast on a Saturday afternoon. The server was on top of it checking in often. The menu was just like at any of the other locations not scaled back and tasted the same. Ambiance is minimal but this place is more for the food.

This review is about a June 24, 2024 visit. Well over 100 degrees, humidity over 30%. D and me having one of our standard meals. sharing a bean burrito enchilada style, with a side of guacamole and another side of hotter salsa. A cool refuge. Dependablr menu item. Attentive service. We really enjoy the ambiance.

Worst shredded beef nachos I've ever had. If it wasn't for Judith and her amazing service I would have given them a 1 star. How do you screw up nachos?? No flavor whatsoever.

Service was attentive and friendly. I hadn't been to a Macayo's in years (I always preferred the ones in Tucson to Phoenix) -- well before they sold out to private equity (they had made changes to the menu I wasn't too keen on). The food quality is not what it used to be. While nothing was bad, the best things were the chips, salsa, and chimichanga shredded beef. The enchilada sauce was not very exciting. The cheese crisp wasn't what it used to be. The cheese didn't taste like the same quality cheddar they used to use. Anyway, it's not bad, service was good, but it's not what it used to be.

This Macayo's on McDowell just opened up and we wanted to give it a try. The wait was about 10 minutes or so. The hostess wasn't too friendly. We were seated and everything was going well. Nice looking place and looks clean inside. Our waitress was nice and attentive. The food looked and smelled great, I took a few bites and it was delicious until I got to my third bite and there was a plastic object with a metal screw in my food. It poked my lip and I spit out the food back onto my plate. So glad I didn't swallow this dangerous foreign object. I notified someone, then our waitress came and took our place and stated the manager would be out. The manager came out and was apologetic and didn't charge us for our meal. He asked if we wanted anything else? I let him know that this sort of thing disgusts me, so thanks but no thanks. I know there's not much they can do except apologize so I do thank them for that. I never had this issue at the other Macayos on Litchfield. This was a waste of time and overall and horrible experience.

Good complimentary chips and salsa! The red rolled taquitis are very tasty as are the green corn tamale bites. The spinach queso dip was a great appetizer also. Our lunch was three appetizers and along with the chips and salsa it was a very satisfying lunch. Nicole our server was very friendly. This location opened in January 2024. It is kind of hidden at the west end of Gateway Pavilions. Be sure to stop by! Great food, great service also!

We came for lunch here on President's Day. The one we usually go to by our house was closed so we figured we would try the newer one that opened by Costco. Big mistake. When we got there no one was at the front to greet us. There were about 4 groups that waited to see if someone would come seat us. We looked for someone and finally was told they would seat us shortly. It took about 10 minutes despite only a few tables being taken. We were told everyone was working on a big catering order when we were finally seated. It took quite awhile for someone to wait on us but she did arrive with apologies. She took our order from the lunch menu and we waited and waited for our food. When the food arrived, 2 of our 3 items were wrong and it took awhile to flag our server down. My mom sent hers back but my dad kept his because at this point he was very hungry and starting to get low blood sugar. My mom's remake took about 15 minutes and by that time my dad and I were done with our food. Thankfully she had accidentally brought out a side of beans as part of the mistake (or so we thought) so my mom had that while we were waiting for her food remake. When the bill arrived, it was wrong. We had been overcharged for our lunch meals and drinks. The server tried to give us a discount but it still was more than we would have paid and we were charged for the mistake beans we didn't order. She finally tried to do a third correction and assured us that the credit card charge would get adjusted. Thankfully it was. We won't be returning to this location. We really enjoy Macayos but this one doesn't seem to have their act together plus the music being played was so loud it was unpleasant.

Service and ambience were great. Salsa and chips were good. Refried beans good. The other food wasn't the same quality at other Macayos I've eaten at it seemed. Cheese crisp was overdone. Cheese enchilada didn't taste right, it was dry.
