El Chorro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (768) • $$$

"They offer elevated flavors and ambiance, a lovely patio with mountain views, and a fireplace to set a mood at dinner; making El Chorro perfect spot for dates! They mix great cocktails and offer many wines to choose from. Delicious food and desserts! Service and food is always exceptional. We have been here for a Sunday brunch and dinner. This last experience was for a wedding they catered. They were on top of everything. Food was great. The bride was a joy, but I noticed a couple of guests were very rude and demanding. All food was pre-ordered and accounted for, yet a couple of guests were still demanding special treatment. Christa was so kind and handled them so professionally. She made even the grumpy appreciative. Everyone serving did such a great job. The food was delicious. I never knew until this wedding they did catering. Every experience has been lovely."

Valle Luna

★★★★☆ 3.5 (878) • $$

"Valle Luna, established in 1983. This place is 41 years old. She's my senior!A group of us popped in for Cinco de Mayo. I got the Fundido with carne asada, a raspberry margarita, and a bloody mary. A 2:1 cocktail-to-entree ratio is acceptable, okay? And what can be said about the Fundido that hasn't already been mentioned? The fundido is their most popular dish. Rolled in a flour tortilla with their homemade jalapeño cream cheese, then lovingly deep fried and topped with melted cheddar cheese. A side of rice and beans accompanies your cheesy meal. It's a two-Lactaid-entree, but oh, so worth it!Eddy was our waiter and he was great. The menu can be overwhelming as I think it might rival Cheesecake Factory in items, so feel free to ask for suggestions.¡Buen provecho, Amigos!"

The Farm At South Mountain

★★★★☆ 4 (653)

"What a fun place!We were staying right down the road and our Uber driver recommended this spot. They have restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner but make sure to check the individual restaurant schedules as they are not all open at the same times, or every day.We tried the lunch spot and had a lovely salad and sandwich with prickly pear lemonade. Yum! You go through a line and place your order then come back for pick up. They have a ton of picnic tables spread around for meals and since it was a nice day we sat in the shade and felt like we had our own private space. There is a lot of great walking areas and plenty to see for kids, and it made me think this would be a great spot for a family meet up!We loved our food which was grown on site and had an amazing burst of flavor. I would for sure go back! Plus the prickly pear lemonade hit the spot as we walked around.Lovely spot and definitely worth another visit!"

The Van Buren

★★★★☆ 3.6 (411) • $$

"I had never been to this venue before, but I saw Jimmy Eat World's 20th Anniversary show for Futures here 10/17/2024 (AMAZING best show by the Jimmies I've ever seen, but that is not what I'm reviewing). It was great. It's basically all GA, there was some VIP seating on a balcony. You can take water in if it's in a sealed bottle. My favorite part of the venue itself -- the HUGE fans that I was standing under. That made it so much more comfortable. The bathrooms were nice and clean.I liked this venue."

Indian Delhi Palace

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (453) • $$

"This Indian restaurant is still a 5 star for me. Here's an updated review since it has been a few years! Did an early Valentine's Day lunch buffet and as always the food was delicious. A few items had a bit of a kick.A buffet is a great choice to try several dishes that might be new to you! There was a fried cabbage dish that I had not tried before. Chicken seemed to be the main meat offering in many of the dishes, so if you want something not chicken related, the main menu might be a better choice.Service at noon was quick and our dirty dishes were whisked away quickly. I enjoy the interior, as there is always lots of tables."

Diner 50

★★★★★ 4.6 (239) • $$

"Cute little diner with a 50s theme. The place is clean, fun, and inviting - great vibes, fun props, and not pretentious. The waitress was very sweet and attentive, great service. A decent-size menu with both savory and sweet options. Cute mismatched mugs for your coffee gave it a little home-y feel. Our food was delicious, no complaints! Would definitely recommend this little hidden gem!"

The Nile Coffee Shop

★★★★☆ 4 (258) • $

"This coffee shop still rules! The renovations and awning upgrade really makes this place stand out. I have always loved their menu, especially during the winter months.I visited today and had my doggy with me. I ordered their holiday Orange Cardamom latte and a sage lemon scone. These were the perfect combination of bright and cozy.The service is top notch and the space inside was very welcoming. We stayed out on the patio area for a while before heading it.There is street parking and a parking lot in the back of the building as well."

Mavrix

★★★★☆ 3.7 (273)

"We had a family night out at Mavrix. So many fun games and different things to do. We started off bowling and did all the fun arcade games and laser tag. We tried the food which was mediocre. Regular game spot food. We tried the boneless wings, spring rolls, mini tacos, and the cookies which were decent. Fun experience for family fun."

KoKo Boba Tea House

★★★★☆ 4 (186)

"The service was excellent, the girl was so sweet and the feel inside is so relaxing. I love hanging out on the soft sofas. Today I sat outside in their little outdoor area, and it felt so gorgeous out. KoKo Boba is one of my happy places,relaxing meets fun (the popping boba)!"

Clancy's Pub

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (224) • $$

"Clancy's is my bar and JoJo is MY BARTENDER, has made me feel like family EVERY SINGLE TIME in walk in. She remembers every regulars' drink after their first visit! If whenever you find yourself in Scottsdale come in and see this true scottsdale gem. You have my word you won't be anything charmed and welcomed!"

Let It Roll Bowl & Entertainment Center

★★★★☆ 3.6 (194)

"**Bowled on-4/9/23: A no frills bowling alley & currently has the most competitive pricing. We played 2hrs of unlimited cosmic bowling & shoes for $30+ per person when the other bowling alleys wanted around $40 per person/per hour NOT including shoes. Cosmic bowling was fun, all the lanes worked, the place was clean & was the bathroom (major cool points). Staff was personable, they had great music and affordable drinks which made for a great lowkey night out. We will be back again!"

Warehouse 215

★★★★★ 4.6 (45)

"Came here for an event on Friday night last week. Not going to lie, I was a bit nervous when I saw all the barbed wire around the parking lot. But once I got into the venue, all was well in whoville. Since I didn't know anything about the location, I was unaware of hits history but once inside & I learned, it all made sense. It is a large & open venue. It was cold inside, so bundle up. It was also loud & echoy inside. We had a live band & speakers everywhere. I'm not sure if I would do an event here again in December but I would be willing to try it again as a venue location."

The Duke At Rancho El Dorado Golf Course

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (83) • $$

"Have you ever had breakfast with Jon H.? Let me paint you a picture of how it goes:Joyce: I could really use some butter for my rye toast.Jon H.: *hoarding the butter, seemingly not hearing Joyce*Joyce: *eating an unsatisfying piece of toast with only jelly, still complaining about the lack of butter*Jon H.: *generously slathering butter onto his pancakes while humming Chappell Roan's "Good Luck, Babe!"*Breakfast in Maricopa? Why not! After a quick drive over the mountains and through the woods, we met up at this cute place on a golf course for breakfast. I ordered the Maricopa Omelet which has cheese, ham, and green hatch chiles in it. It was also served with some homestyle potatoes and some toast. It was a great breakfast and the weather was even nice enough to dine al fresco with a view of the golf course lake. So many cute ducks and geese wandered about and our waitress, Jill, kept the coffee mugs filled.It's a great spot! I can see this place being enjoyed by the community and residents in Maricopa. Get some good eats here at The Duke!"

Arizona American Italian Club

★★★★☆ 3.6 (34)

"I am not a member but many of their events and facilities are open to the general public from what I am told. Please call and check though. Everyone was such wonderful, gracious, and generous hosts for our Pin-Up pageant this past weekend. I cannot comment on the Bingo but man I want to come back and play. They had country music dance lessons later on the night we were there. The food is very good. The bar service was outstanding by Domingo, Annie and staff. I want to go back and try some of the other menu items to satisfy my inner New Yorker. I love Italian food. Thank you to all the people who helped Kathy put on such a great show at Ms. AZ Pin Up. We had so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was pretty memorable."

Postino B-Side

★★★★☆ 4.4 (11)

"Nice place to chill great wine good beer and lovely tasty treats to eat. Would recommend the crispy cauliflower appetizer and the bounty for great vegetables and a killer sauce and the chefs charcuterie. Check out the pics music was bomb service is great but half the staff as they all work together that's a plus. We will return"
