Diego Pops

My favorite place to get a margarita in Scottsdale! The queso, guac and chips and salsa are all delicious too!I love the ambiance and there are so many Instagram worthy spaces in here. It's great for a girls night out or a date night.I recommend this place to all my friends and I bring my husband here all the time!

Diego Pops is a lively, high-energy place. It's very popular, so it's a bit noisy, especially with the house music. Though, this energy makes you want to laugh, enjoy, and drink!!!Patio and inside seating available. Most people were sitting outside. I chose inside to relax in the ac. The decor is vibrant with a mix of colored lights and upbeat house music.Katie was our server. She was adorable, bubbly, and friendly (5/5). I asked her any other places she'd recommend for a Sonoran Dog other than this restaurant. She said, "Honestly, I'd never heard of a Sonoran Dog before working here." I like her honesty. LOL.Brussels Sprout Nachos: Street corn queso, queso oaxaca, fresno chili, pickled onion, roasted garlic beet crema, fried egg (4/5). Usually, it's some kind of meat on Nachos. Brussel Sprouts??? This works. Though, I wish they were deep-fried or more blistered to be tender. It worked with this dish.Taco (Al Pastor): spit roasted achiote pork shoulder, grilled pineapple, red onion, cilantro, corn tortilla (4/5). The meat was flavorful and juicy. Tiny chunks of pineapple gave a nice sweetness to each bite.Taco (Charred Skirt Steak): red onion, caramelized onion, cilantro (3/5). Classic, simple, and beefy.Sonoran Hot Dog: Bacon-wrapped all-beef hot dog, pinto beans, grilled onion, mayo, avocado crema, cotija, brioche bun (4/5). What's all this talk about a hot dog? It's just a hotdog, right? Wrong. First bite, and it is a flavor explosion. Creaminess from the pinto beans, mayo, and avocado crema. Texture from the grilled onions. Savory from the cotija cheese and bacon wrapped hotdog. But that soft buttery brioche bun makes it all come together. Yeah, yeah, it's still a hotdog, but one worth trying!Horchata Agua Fresca (4/5) - This was very tasty. It was smooth, and you could taste the subtle cinnamon rice drink.

Hubby and I came in for lunch one day on our recent trip to Scottsdale. Great vibe and good service. We had Elote (grilled street corns), charred Skirt Steak Bowl, and Shrimp & Cod Tacos. Everything came out pretty quick but we were let down on the food. Elote was good, however one of the tortilla of the tacos was really dry and hard on the edge. The skirt steak was a little bland as well. The 3rd star is for the vibe & service.

Went here for a happy hour with the girls and it was super cute inside. We got seated at a large table with half of it being a couch, so that was fun to sit around and chat. Happy hour specials were good, but we had to ask what they were as the QR code leading to the menu did not show the specials. I really enjoyed the house marg, alongside many of the other girls in my party. I'm giving the rating a 4/5 as the server originally told us a large group could have individual checks until the 6th person showed up, making it one big check. We took this as our first round would be on us, and after the other girl showed up, then we'd had to split that check. This was an incorrect assumption and just made paying even more awkward. And once our check was paid for, our server never came back around to pour waters or take the 7th girl's order, who showed up an hour past when we had our reservation because of work. I don't think I'd be back for happy hour with a large group, but maybe in a smaller party so there's less confusion.

Cute place! The queso and guac were incredibly tasty. There's an outside bar with misters and fans to help keep you cool - which is lovely in this heat!

This place was cool.. had a great bartender Carly. The tacos were just ok... lacked flavor outside of the pineapples. The street corn left something to be desired. It was great vibe ... we sat at the bar, nice breeze and good music.

I am always impressed anytime I go to a restaurant and they can handle a large party well. I came with a group of maybe 10+ people and not only did the workers do a phenomenal job with us, I saw that there were SEVERAL large parties at the same time! A+ for their attentiveness to all the customers and ability to handle so many people. Note: this place is NOT somewhere to go if you're aiming for intimate, formal meet-ups, etc. It's very loud (not in a bad way), good for parties, celebrations, etc. I forgot the server name but she did an amazing job handling our party from when to bring out the drinks, getting our orders, answering our questions, etc. She was extremely knowledgeable and allowed us to make modifications/adjust our pre-set menu to how we wanted it. Food came out SO QUICKLY (and everyone's dishes were correct/none had to get sent back!) Portion sizes are good. Lots of variety with the tacos, salads, bowls that it can really suit anyone. I thought the plantain tacos sounded weird but somehow it works. I got the Brussels sprouts tacos and skirt steak (100% recommend). The meat is a little dry but the sauce/condiments make up for it. Also, get the salsa/guacamole/queso - you won't regret it. Truly deserving of its many high remarks. Will definitely go back!

Came here for happy hour enjoyed the quesadillas and margaritas. Reese the bartender is awesome. Super friendly and great bartender. We also came another time for Cinco de Mayo. Such a great time. They opened up the parking lot, great dj, super cool vibe. Chill nothing over the top just a good time.

Overall this place was average compared to the hype. It's very cute ambience in there and good for big groups. But the drinks were watered down for it being $13. Their tacos were just overfilled and bland with slaw. Plus their queso dip was bland but the chips were good. I probably wouldn't come back. Positive side is that service was quick.

Shout out to Diego pops, we unfortunately made reservations for a week later thinking it was for yesterday. They were so accommodating got us in as a group of nine. The service was fantastic and the food as always was wonderful.
