Macayo's Mexican Food

Everything about our experience was great! From being seated at a comfortable family friendly booth. The chips and salsa to start were amazing and kept us busy until our fantastic server Colin was a able to get to us. He was so kind and very attentive to our needs even though the restaurant was extremely busy.The food was rated by myself, my husband and our 10yr old son as Delicious!!! Lastly the manager came to our table to ask us how we liked our food. We highly recommend this location.

We wanted to try this location for a while. We visited in the afternoon, off-peak hours. We were seated in no time, served with chips and water. The food was delicious and so was the drink, good. Very neat and clean! I have been to other locations, wanted to try this place before I bring larger group. I will be back for sure, and with my family. The team - hostess, server, bartender were very prompt and offered excellent service. Pretty good for a newly opened restaurant!

First experience at this new Macayos! Went for Happy Hour which is only in the large lounge and bar area. Our server was also a bartender and suggested a handshaken Patron Margarita vs the Happy Hour house Margarita. It was excellent and we only needed one. The draft beers were crispy cold and we shared an enchilada style chicken burro which was also excellent! This facility is now on our rotation!

Great Mexican food all around especially their Chimichanga 🌯

Ugh. I said I’d never go back to Macayos after our experience in Tempe, but they opened this one a mile from our house so we “had” to go try it. There was a wait, which was fine. But the sun was setting and shining right into the windows where you wait, they have no blinds. It also made it very hot and uncomfortable to wait there. It took a while after being seated to be greeted and have a drink order taken. They were ending the dinner rush and we tried to be patient, but it was obvious our server needed help. Our drinks came out and then someone else took over to help us. We had 2 baskets of chips and both weren’t cooked/fried properly, they were brought out half cooked and still very oily. The food we ordered was good.
I hope they work out their kinks, but I won’t be back to support.
Oh, and the manager? Just stood there. Waiting for other people to come and work around him, while his employees were literally drowning. He stood at a table where a large (12 people) party had just exited, watched the busser and a server clean the table and said “y’all are gonna sleep good tonight, huh?” He knew they were overworked in that moment and still didn’t give them a hand. The only work I actually saw him do was reset the tables. Ridiculous
