The ambiance was excellent! Very large place and beautiful outdoor patio. Inside decoration beautiful. I had the chicken Tortilla soup was very yummy and flavorful. The service was just okay. Made reservations online for 6 people. When I got there, the table was ready so that was superb. FYI: we got there before 6pm specifically for Happy hour, and online showed a happy hour menu. However, when we went to order i said I wanted to order from the happy hour menu- and was told that they don't have happy hour for the room we were in. So, had to actually be and order at the bar for happy hour prices. The whole group was disappointed. read more

I wanted to love it so bad. There's so many awesome things about Aunt Chiladas that are easy to notice like their amazing patio, large seating inside and out, great bar areas. The vibe is awesome and I can see a fun night when busy especially in the cooler temps. Unfortunately it was just alright to us. We drove from the over thirty minutes to try it . We opted for the bar areas. I will say it was pretty great to see who were obvious locals enjoying themselves. The bartender greeted us, took our drink orders and gave us some time to look over the menu. Chips and salsa were brought out. I really liked the red salsa. I ordered fish tacos and my husband the carne asada plate.For dessert tres leche cake .The fish tacos had no real flavor. The fish was small and I wish they'd had some sauce or something added to the cabbage etc. the rice even less flavor beans were ok. My husband said the asada meat was chewy and he didn't finish his plate. The cake was the best part of it all. We were told it's a secret recipe only the cook knows. Not super soggy, great flavor. Prices are decent depending on what you get. Parking was a sinch and easy to get in and out. It's located in a neighborhood with houses and some businesses nearby. It wasn't totally awful and I'd come again to try something else, but I don't think I would make the drive over very often. read more

I came here with a big group so they had ordered some family style meals. The food was all delicious. I loved the queso and chips... ate a ton of it. The salad was actually one of my favorite parts. The ranch was so tasty. I got a raspberry margarita that was divine. The environment was really fun. The patio out front looks like a great space for happy hour. The entire restaurant is gigantic so there's always bound to be an open table. Really had a fun time. Service was great with definitely come back here. read more

Aunt Chiladas - Raspberry margarita - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Aunt Chilada's in Phoenix is such a vibe. The place is huge, with a fun, lively atmosphere that instantly feels like a classic Southwest spot. The food was on point - the street corn was so good, perfectly seasoned and addicting. I also loved that they serve flour tortilla chips, which you almost never see anymore, and they were amazing. The cheese crisp was everything... crispy, cheesy, and honestly something you just can't get in Los Angeles, so it felt extra special. Great portions, great flavors, and a spot that feels uniquely Arizona. read more

Excellent food, service and ambiance!! Frozen Margaritas the best! Highly recommend this establishment!

Had a delicious lunch in a beautiful atmosphere! The service was great, the bougainvillea was beautiful, the birds were funny (flying by with tortilla chips and dipping them in the fountain). The food was delicious! I enjoyed the house made chips and salsa with black olives. I got the jalapeño ranch salad with chicken, which was great and fresh. My friend got the pineapple stuffed shrimp, which was unique and amazing- she let me try it! I would highly recommend this beautiful spot. read more

I love everything about this place. It's a 100 years old building. . It has huge outside seating. It's rustic and historic looking. It has the most down to earth people working there. The manager was amazing and the bartender she said her name was twin , very nice. ? The food was very good. Love the deep fried flour chips. Wife loved the margaritas made with better gold tequila. We can't wait to try this place again and again. lol read more

Good things at Aunt Chilada's: big and unique space, dog friendly patio, margs, chips and salsa I had a fish taco and a cheese enchiladas. The fish taco had no flavor and the fish was these tiny fried pieces -like the bottom of the barrel. The enchilada was smothered in red sauce which was terrible. I could barely eat it and the little I did eat I couldn't get that sauce taste out of my mouth and the cheese was globby. Also ordered guac and that was also tasteless. It needed citrus, salt and spice. If I ever come back it will only be for an apps and margs. read more

Aunt Chiladas is a Phoenix treasure. The Dreamy Draw location has a beautiful patio area. Indoors, plenty of large group seating, along with booths. Service is prompt and friendly. Meals arrive shortly after ordering. Best of all, the food is delicious. Recommend the Shrimp Tamale, it's excellent. Especially appreciate the sides of rice and beans are sized appropriate to the meal where the focus is on the entree. Come hungry, servings are generous. read more

We've been here plenty, and it's always the same story: they show up, they deliver, and I leave wondering why other spots can't figure out basic consistency. This time we sat inside because the patio misters weren't on yet. Angelo was our server, and he kept it tight: quick greet, drinks in before I had a chance to start side-eyeing the chips basket like a raccoon. I ordered the Mexican Candy: Blanco tequila, watermelon purée, pineapple juice, Tajín rim, lime. And yes, it really tastes like Mexican candy. Sweet, tart, a little spicy, basically childhood nostalgia with a tequila chaser. I don't even like watermelon, but here it makes sense. This is what happens when someone actually knows how to balance flavors instead of just tossing fruit in a blender and praying. Now, the chips and salsa. Still undefeated. The salsa has black olives in it, which sounds weird until you try it, and then it just makes sense. Pro tip: ask for the hot salsa. Mix it in for the perfect burn, but pace yourself unless you're into self-inflicted pain. And the flour tortilla chips? Fluffy, crispy, airy, basically the glow-up corn chips could only dream of. Once you've had these, regular tortilla chips just feel like punishment. Main event: the breakfast quesadilla. Eggs, cheese, picadillo as my protein, plus beans and potatoes. No pics, because it didn't stand a chance. The cheese was molten, the eggs weren't overcooked into sad rubber, and the picadillo tasted like someone's abuela actually smacked the cook with a wooden spoon until they seasoned it right. Tortilla hit that golden-brown crispy perfection. Beans? Smooth and flavorful. Potatoes? Actual seasoning, not just "salt and despair." Bottom line: this place doesn't miss. Just straight-up good food, strong drinks, and flour chips so good they make every other chip feel like a sad afterthought. This is why we keep coming back: because they actually know what the hell they're doing. read more

Had a team dinner here that was catered with some good Mexican food including different meats like carne asada, chicken, and carnitas. Buffet style so it was a lot of food. Enchiladas were very good as were the chips and spicy chorizo dip. Service was decent and they had someone making fresh churros and fried ice cream which was awesome. Very clean and nice property for big groups and you can eat indoor or outdoor complete with heat lamps and TVs. read more

Good taste, generous servings, great service. Comfortable and pleasant setting. My favorite for Mexican food. read more

I've been wanting to check this restaurant out for some time while home in the Valley. Had no idea it was once a George's Ole. When I lived in Arizona in the late '60's and '70"s George's Ole on E. 48th Street and Indian School Rd. near our house was my favorite Mexican restaurant. Aunt Childadas keeps the tradition alive. Food was exceptional, the service as great and the ambiance was fantastic. Felt like I was home back in the day again. See you on my next visit. read more

Ok...returned here for the first time in years and food was great. The outdoor bar was open, tables were full and a band was playing on a recent Friday night. The chips of course are still great and the main dish of a chicken enchilada and a Piccadilly taco were top notch. Nice bartender too. read more

The food is bland. Almost tasteless. It's good quality but you have to put a bunch of sauce on it to get any taste. The service is horrible. I had to ask 4 times to get water and 3 times to get a pint glass for my beer. And a couple of times to get parts of my order they forgot. If you're there the trick is to ask a manager for things. Because if you ask the bus person or waitress they'll smile, promise it, and then forget it. read more

Went on Sunday at 4 pm, as my friends and I do every Sunday. This place was BUSY unlike most other restaurants at that time. The facilities were OK, definitely aging, but I'm there for the food. Service was incredibly slow because at the same time they sat our table of 6, they then sat a table of 8, another table of 6 and table of 4 in our waiter's section. Poor guy was literally sweating a storm on his forehead, as he ran around trying to handle all the customers. That's likely a problem with the host desk, poor planning. The food was nothing special, I'll stick with Valle Luna. read more

Phenomenal food. Really. We came with 22 guests (!) when our elderly relatives had made a reservation several weeks prior, in person (but somehow the hostess forgot to write it down) and they still took us all in on a moment's notice after saying there was no such reservation when we all showed up. My shrimp cocktail was out of this world. Everyone said their food was amazing. (As designated driver I didn't drink but I heard the cocktails were just OK.) They had a HUGE menu for liquor and cocktails. The environment is incredibly festive. The only improvement we see could be made are: 1) write reservations down; and 2) fix those horrible seats in the dining room. You sink well into the seat, past the wood frame of the chair, so the wood cuts off the circulation on your legs as you sit because the cushions are so old they have no more support or give, they just sink you right into a square wooden hole and everyone in our party complained about it. read more

Aunt Chiladas - Not even a shrimp fan, but this was DELICIOUS. - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We had a cockroach crawl on our table. The waitress moved us but we were not happy with the overall experience.

The food was amazing, large portions and good quality. The service was very well and the ambience was great. Also, it is really interesting to read about the history of this building and how it used to be a brothel and a trade mining store and how the area receive their name What I didn't like about the restaurant was we were located near the banquet and the door was open and the people in there were really really loud maybe a birthday party for women Breault shower I don't know so that was frustrating. Also, the ceiling is super super dirty. It really needs to get all that stuff scraped off of it and painted because it's so brown and not because of paint so that was kind of gross to look at what we ate, but besides that it's a super large restaurant very clean otherwise we really enjoyed it and I would definitely suggest people to come here. read more

The patio and restaurant has bright, vibrant colors and a straw bar roof giving the illusion that you are in vacation in Mexico. The restaurant is very spread out and has plenty of seating, but sadly not enough servers. On our visit it was a Monday at about 5pm. It took about 10 minutes for someone to come for our drink order, at which time we ordered our food as well. We ordered margaritas which were very tasty and the best part of our visit, but sadly we weren't able to get a second one because of the lack of service. The salsa is good but has olives in it (??) And is VERY mild. We had to ask for hot salsa to add some spice to it. The flour chips were very crispy and AMAZING. My chicken enchiladas were a tad spicy and very basic. Beans were good but rice was dry and not so flavorful. My husband ordered the chicken chimichanga and took about 2 bites, he said it was terrible. They had an open mic night on the bar side of the patio which looked like fun. If we were to return it would not be for the food or the service, but for the ambiance and layout. This would be more of an appetizer and drinks kind of place for us. One thing that I will say is that the host was very nice, he allowed my 4 year old to take a rubber ducky from the fountain and said there is a treasure box that young kids can choose a toy from after they eat as well! So great for kids! read more

Service was spotty and food was ehh. Had a work dinner here a few weeks back. Mind you, we were a large party but they were not able to keep up. Half of us didn't have food while the mothers were finishing. I might be back to try in a smaller group setting but still not sure. The bar looked pretty cool. This place is pretty tucked back in there too. Even as a local I had no idea it was back here. read more

We decided on Mexican instead of BBQ for dinner. We had reservations and was seated promptly, which is nice. We got an outside table and it was gorgeous. Walking in, you are basically walking through the outside seating to get to the hostess stand. She was very accommodating with getting us an outside table. Pros: The chips were a crispy light and airy with the salsa that definitely tasted house made. We ordered the guacamole and it was excellent. Creamy and chunks of avocado. Would order again. I ordered the steak fajitas and my husband got the taco salad. When it came his was literally a mountain of food. My steak fajitas were cooked a nice medium and good char marks on the onion and pepper. Cons: The fajitas were a little bland, really no seasoning that I could taste. And my husband had to eat at least 1/4 of his salad before he got to the beans and chicken. He took almost all of the tortilla strips off the top just to find the lettuce. Recommended? Yes. Food was good and service was great. Our server did a really great job balancing the many tables we had. Refills on drinks was prompt. read more

Returned for lunch this past Sunday (2/23) Always love the flour tortilla chips, we shared the queso dip My wife had Albondigas, she loves it, I had a couple bites and it was amazing We shared Avocado Toast Toasted bolillo bread covered with smashed avocado, tomato, onion, queso fresco, salsa, fried egg and topped with crumbled cortina cheese served open-faced We ordered the egg fried over hard, but it was closer to over medium, which wasn't terrible but I'm not fond of runny yolk Mom had chorizo con huevos, always delicious I've been going to Aunt Chilada's for decades and that's not going to change any time soon read more

Food is fantastic The ambiance is amazing. Historically this is one of the oldest restaurants in Phoenix and it has really retained its charm read more

5 star customer service! I was tasked with ordering in for a business luncheon and missed the chips and salsa on the catering app which was a huge miss on my end. After a call to the restaurant, Michelle apologized for the confusion in the ordering process and had an opportunity to delivery the chips and salsa herself. Crisis was avoided and my business colleagues from Philadelphia had an opportunity to experience a fantastic Mexican lunch with all the fixings! I appreciate the customer service and all the staff at Aunt Chiladas did to provide my team a great experience! read more

It's Sunday and we are meeting family for lunch today . Full disclosure, this restaurant was in our backyard for 37 years before moving. We have allot of memories here. To start, there is a deep Phoenix History in this building and the surrounding mercury mines throughout Dreamy Draw. It served as a post office, miners pay station, to mention a couple. The Resturant is a fun place to come with friends, family, co-workers and happy hour. It hosts special occasions including weddings etc. The atmosphere is Mexican with bright colors splashed against the traditional Saltillo tile floors. There are three bars, two outside and one inside to cater to the happy hour and special event crowds. There are large outdoor seating options in Mexican themed settings with a natural canopy and colorful umbrellas that set the vibe of your visit. The menu offers all your traditional favorites and includes children options to keep the kiddos happy. My personal favorite is the beautifully seasoned Machaca Beef Chimichanga's. Your meal experience is started with complementary Salsa & Chips, both Corn and flour tortillas chips which is a nice touch! You can ask for their spicier salsa. Our server today was Marco who did a wonderful job keeping our party of five happy. In general service is prompt and attentive,however; it can get packed during holiday and peaks meal times. Reservations encouraged. (Tip, go on Sundays). Parking can also be challenging as people line the streets to park once the parking lot is full. This Resturant is definitely worth your trip. $$/$$$$ depending on adult beverages. read more

From the moment we arrived, the service was poor. Our waitress had an attitude right away, despite us being polite and simply trying to order. It only got worse when my friend--who is vegetarian/pescatarian--asked a few questions about the menu. Instead of being helpful, the waitress seemed annoyed and unwilling to assist. To top it off, my order was completely wrong. I ordered a burrito bowl and was given a burrito instead. By that point, the experience was already frustrating enough that it didn't feel worth trying to fix. Overall, the combination of rude service and careless mistakes made for a really disappointing visit. I won't be going back. read more

I had been here before for a celebration of life service and was impressed with the venue so I wanted to come back and try the full experience. We sat in outdoor seating and it was beautiful and secluded for being in the city. The birds flying around and the quiet chatter of other patrons as well as the colorful decor and soft music playing in the background made for a perfect setting. The chips and salsa were delicious and the chips especially were amazing. I had the pollo fundido which was delicious. Angel was our server and was very polite and attentive. I can see several visits to this location in my future read more

If you are in Arizona and looking for a nicer yet cozy Mexican restaurant definitely stop by Aunt Chiladas! I had the bean and cheese burrito and it was delicious. As someone who is a bean and cheese burrito connoisseur (self proclaimed) their bean and cheese has the perfect combination of refried beans and cheese. Each bite had an even amount of cheese and beans . My friends and I shared the deep fried ice cream and sopaipilla. Both were great, my personal favorite was the deep friend ice cream. But if you can only get one thing, get the bean and cheese burrito. Our server was quick and attentive, and routinely checked in. Overall awesome dining experience read more
