    Carnitas platter
    Patrick D.

    Food was amazing. Giant portion sizes. Price is a little high, but you can definitely split a plate. The service was great. Ambiance was pretty cool with stained glass windows and a pond out front. If they had a menu with smaller portion sizes with lower prices it wouldn't bother me. The chips and salsa freshly made and tasted amazing. Two types of chips both flour and corn. Place was very clean. Definitely would recommend for a special occasion!

    I get yelp says your closed but when looking for restaurants online such as Apple or Google Maps maybe it should mention your special hours not only on yelp. We drove 30 minutes to this location to be turned away in the parking lot because the entire restaurant was closed for a party. Would be nice if you updated your maps hours to reflect your actual hours.

    The patio. Very cozy.

    The service, food, and ambience were amazing! We had the street tacos queso with ground beef, and it was the perfect portion. Highly recommend, and it's walking distance from the resort, which was very convenient.

    We stopped by here on a Saturday night with a reservation of 15 people. I was quite impressed, the table was already set with chips and salsa and waters. Our waiter Josh was super attentive and handled our big group with ease, I would request him if I ever were to come back!! We sat outside and it was pretty cold but they had plenty of heaters set up around the patio to accommodate guests, and the sunset from the patio was quite literally to die for. I may come here for the sunsets alone!! The food was very good, as well as the margaritas. I got the chimichangas and it was enough to feed two people so be ready to bring home leftovers!!! We also got the carnitas platter, and that was very good too - a little spice to the chicken! Would recommend :)

    Great Mexican food! So fresh and flavorful! The fajitas are amazing! The chimichangas are huge! Great drinks and superb service. Indoor and outdoor seating, or sit at the bar. Leave room for the frozen ice cream!

    This place is awesome! The food and the service were great! The front of the place has a cute pond and little bridge. We loved the food!

    Fish, Mahi, and shrimp tacos
    Anthony R.

    This place is very-very busy. We waiting almost an hour to be seated. Was it worth it? Not really. The food and drinks were amazing. The view and scenery beautiful. The service was too slow. It was like 10-12min waiting to order drinks, ordering food, getting more chips and salsa, and gettting more drinks, and then longer to cash out. We just kept waiting for everything. On top of that, they added a 20% gratuity fee. Smh. No wonder they did not care about the service. They knew they were getting the 20% gratuity.

    Chips and salsa
    Jessi D.

    Came here for the last dinner of a birthday weekend. We came Monday night. No wait (also used the yelp wait-list, but it was still no wait when we got there). We asked for patio seating and it was beautiful! Perfect weather and the lights and plants outside were attractive. The chips and salsa was delicious (there were 2 types of chips)! The food when it came was full of flavor and didn't lack anything. Waitstaff was plentiful and kind.

    Inside the restaurant

    Service was good first try portions are great flavor is great too. Server was great and wait time was exactly the amount the host said.

    Warning - Large Party 20.0% for 6 people is absurd.

    How to make a reservation.?

    Hi Louise - Please use the following link to make a reservation. Thank you!… Read more

    Do they have Sangria?

    Hi Carla - We do not currently offer Sangria on our menu. We have an extensive list of house and specialty margaritas and a few additional specialty cocktails. You can view our menu here: https://www.auntchiladastempe.com/#ac-menu

    Please reopen!! I really miss your fideo?

    It's open now. If you don't already know.

    Can you please be open for lunch and dinner we wanted to eat here during this trip?

    I miss this place very much too but I wouldn't count on them being open any time soon. Nostalgic customers have been asking for updates on the reopen plan from here on Yelp to Facebook with no response.… Read more

    Did you close for good?

    Our doors are only closed until business levels can return to a level that allows us to bring back our team of valued employees and best serve our customers. We aim to reopen and welcome you back soon, but we do not have a date set yet for reopening.

    Do they have any kind of kids meals? My 9-year-old daughter doesn't really like Mexican food but I want to try this place.

    You should phone them and ask because they seemed very agreeable and even if something isn't on the menu they might be able to modify a meal to satisfy her.

    Do they have gluten free options?

    yes, gluten free and celiac allergy menu

    Is this owned by or in any way related to the "Aunt Chiladas Squaw Peak"?

    Last I knew they were the same company.

    We are whole foods, plant-based vegans - Are their beans made with lard? Is there chicken stock in the rice? The ONE answer I got was to go chew on some tree bark - I'm sure the restaurant appreciates THAT response, from a fat smoker no less..

    You don't want real Mexican food...I suggest you chew on tree bark at a vegan restaurant......

    Do they have TVs to watch the games at the bar?

    The bar is really small. One tv but you have to be in the right spot to see it.

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

The meats are so good. We also use to love the sushi side. During Covid, we tried the sushi for the first time. We were hesitant as it's a Mexican joint, right? Not a Japanese specialty shop. So to my surprise, I couldn't believe the sushi especially the Las Vegas roll and their Nigiri cuts were pretty dang good. My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).
