Staff was nice and food was alright. I ordered a Bloody Mary and the bartender said they made the mix in house but we watched them pour a pre mix for the drinks which is fine but why lie! Had a fun birthday celebration here. Lots of families in the bar area.
Went to chilaquiles and got the chilaquiles. Big portion and quite tasty -- I was pretty stuffed by the end. I'd say a little pricey on the whole but it was a good experience.
If you're writing a review, here's a polished version that keeps your honest feedback while sounding balanced and fair: Chilaquiles Modern Kitchen has a fun and energetic atmosphere and seems to be a very popular spot within the local Latino community, especially for celebrations and gatherings. The concept is creative, the portions are generous, and the valet parking is a nice touch. Our server, Lluvia, was wonderful. She was kind, attentive, and helped us navigate the menu. Nancy also provided excellent service, bringing our silverware and food and making sure we had everything we needed. The staff was truly the highlight of our visit. The restaurant has a great vibe, although the actual location and surroundings did not quite match the impression presented on TikTok. The dining area could also benefit from a bit more attention to cleanliness. As for the food, it was decent but did not quite live up to the concept. I ordered the chicharrón breakfast dish. It was fine, but it was not what many people from Mexico would recognize as traditional chicharrón en salsa. Instead of chicharrón, it was more like pieces of pork in sauce. My husband ordered the machaca, which was okay, and our son had the Laly pancakes. They were cute, fun, and very large, but extremely sweet. The Bloody Mary was also just okay. Overall, the concept, atmosphere, and service are outstanding. The staff made us feel welcome, and the restaurant has a great energy. For us, the food was the weakest part of the experience, but the excellent service and lively environment made for an enjoyable visit.
Long wait on a Sunday NFL kickoff weekend. Gets hot by the door waiting for your table. Once we got seated everything went smoothly. Best chilaquiles in AZ. Clean but small dining area. Outdoor seating was available but it's too hot in AZ in September. Definitely will be going back to get my HDL/LDL higher than my HBP! It's a race!!!
Wait times are long but worth it. Fast service. If you want a quiet meal do not recommend. They have a DJ and great atmosphere.
This meal was a whole experience, not just dinner. I ordered the molcajete platter and it came out literally bubbling with flavor. The stone bowl was loaded with tender grilled steak, juicy shrimp, smoky chicken, spicy chorizo, roasted jalapeños, cactus, grilled green onions, and a thick layer of molten cheese soaking in rich, savory salsa. Every bite had something different going on smoky, spicy, salty, cheesy all balanced perfectly. The sides of fluffy Mexican rice and creamy beans were the comfort-food finish this giant platter deserved. Now let's talk about the margarita. This spicy margarita was a little bit of a disappointment as it was not spicy and was served warm. The chile-rim gave it just the right kick, the pineapple was fresh and bright, and the jalapeño added a smooth heat that didn't overpower the drink just not the spicy I was hoping for. Presentation was . From the sizzling bowl to the beautifully garnished margarita, everything looked great. Portions were generous enough to share (but I didn't want to). Final verdict: 8/10. Come hungry, leave happy, and definitely don't skip the pineapple jalapeño margarita.
I was in town visiting and wanted some good chilaquiles. Well what better place to try than a restaurant called Chilaquiles. The inside of the restaurant is pretty big with a bar area. My server was really nice and she recommended my meal from the menu. I tried the trio with 3 different sauces but my favorite is always a green sauce along with the Mexican coffee and a homemade concha. The coffee was really strong so if you like strong you'll like that but I'm not much of a coffee drinker so it wasn't my favorite. I also ordered a side of rice and beans but the chilaquiles was enough in its own.
Absolutely delicious and a way cool place. Food 10+, Servce 10, ambience 10. This place is really getting popular. Glad we went for sure.
Amazing food and service So comforting and filling. I'm still dreaming about the coffee. Ambiance was fantastic.
Our friend chose this spot for her birthday, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious comfort food, and chose the coffee served with a concha was such a great treat. Definitely a place worth checking out don't miss the chilaquiles!
This is such a cute, upscale Mexican restaurant with a big focus on chilaquiles. The green and orange sauces really stand out and everything else we tried was pretty good too. My favorite item was the jalapeño margarita. I don't like my margaritas sweet in any way and this one was perfect with hardly any sweetener at all. The tequila they used (Santoro) was incredibly smooth. My partner had the mango blended margarita and said it was delicious as well. For food, I had the cóctel de camarón. It could've used a few more shrimp y aguacate but overall still deliciosos. The kids had a chilaquiles trio and a burrito, both got two thumbs up. Our guest tried the molcajete de cielo, mar y tierra. She doesn't like nopales but said everything else was delicious. My partner had the chile relleno and really enjoyed it. Service was decent with friendly staff, but they did forget a couple of things. Nothing major, just could be a bit more attentive. My only other suggestion is to maybe turn up the AC a bit since it was a little warm inside. Overall, we left happy and full. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes. I'll be back for the jalapeño margarita.
Came here based on a hungry hotline recommendation for brunch. This place is Busy! We were seated at a high top table in the bar area, which was not ideal for having conversation, which is probably why others declined the high top table when offered. Not knowing any better we accepted. They had a live DJ playing music, but sadly it was VERY loud. This is where they lost a star from me. It was even difficult to hear the server. The restaurant was lively and service was excellent. The food was excellent! I ordered the Birria ramen, it is a little deceiving in the description of the dish as it says it is served with 3 Birria tacos, when actually it came with three tortillas filled with melted cheese, the Birria was the meat in the ramen. You could not get the tortillas apart to make a taco as the cheese was like glue. That aside, the Birria damn was delightful, spicy broth, ample noodles and meat, and eggs cooked as ordered. The potatoes in the dish had a nice flavor from the broth. Portions here are enough for two to share. The Mole chilaquiles were very good, nice mole sauce, my friend ate them all! The divorced chilaquiles were also amazing with nice meat and vegetables added. Lastly the corn quesadillas with chicken was a tasty meal that was devoured on the spot. Overall, this was a wonderful brunch spot that I would come to again, despite the loud music.
Well wifey wanted to try this place because she said everytime she drives by it's packed. Saturday morning 940ish it was pretty busy but no wait. Cool vibe in the restaurant and it was packed. Ordered menudo of course and the chilaquiles trio. Also orders the caffe de olla with concha. Caffe de olla brought back some memory of Mexico City. That's where I last tasted the caffe.. Caffe was yummy with nice cinnamon taste. Concha was also yummy nice and fresh. My menudo came and I initially I thought bowl was smaller than some of the other places. But that small bowl was pack with goodies. Broth had nice clean tasting and was not overly oily on top. The chilaquiles was something else.. I don't usually order it but I can say of all the ones I've had this place was the best. Red sauce was my favorite and every single bite of the chips it tasted fresh and crispy. Not one of them over double fried hard chips. Eggs were also cooked perfect. Over all the food was awesome and staffs were very friendly and attentive. Not too many times I come to a restaurant where my head move around looking at what other people are eating. I would definitely come back here again and try other dishes. Only thing bad I have to say is the music is little bit on the loud side (reminded me of being at a club back in the days ). Also the place is little on the small side with lots of people so it was loud and top it off with loud music. So if you can't handle or don't like loud noisy restaurant don't come here on busy day. Other small detail was that initially I told the server I was going to pay with card so I got 3% fee added to my bill that I paid cash for.. Lame..

We started with the iced coffee. One mocha and one caramel. I didn't have high expectations because it says iced coffee and not iced latte, so when the mocha came out and tasted just like a slightly bitter chocolate milk, that was fine. Unfortunately, the caramel one was undrinkable. It was so sweet, I couldn't get past the first sip, it was like drinking straight sugar. For our meals we got the croque madam and the breakfast sopes. Both were plentiful in food, and quite tasty. The issue I had were with the side of potatoes. They were wet, and you could see the oil pooling at the bottom. All I could taste was the oil. Overall I think the entrees are where they shine and are worth going for. read more
Love, love, love this place! Such a vibe for breakfast/brunch! They serve authentic Mexican offerings conchas, tostadas, french toast and of course chilaquiles! They have plenty of coffee, and drink offerings including $5 mimosas and mimosa flights. Service was quick and friendly it does get a bit busy on the weekends however I only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. read more

Our waitress, Lluvia, was wonderful! She was engaging, patient to check on my food allergens, and very attentive. The vibe was great and the music was fun (not too loud). I ordered the Coconut French Toast and the 3 tacos plate, and washed it down with the Cafe de Olla (topped with a concha). All soooo good! It was a perfect brunch! read more
Delicious! I absolutely love chilaquiles and this place has all the options and sauces! I especially love the green and Juarez style... of all the options/sauces, the least favorite was red. I'm not a green sauce girl, but they did it right here! The Juarez sauce is like an orange red chili. The churro French toast is so good! Our server was very patient and friendly as we had a lot of questions. The ambiance is really cool as well. Relaxed earthy vibes. The mimosas and cafe de la Olla is tasty! I Thoroughly loved my experience here and highly recommend! Would love to come back and try the other non breakfast options. read more
Best Pina Colada I have had in Phoenix! I was intrigued by this place based on their instagram, but was worried it would not live up to the social media presence- I am so glad I was wrong. The service was exceptional, and the food was well seasoned and tasty. The music and close tables do make it loud, so if you enjoy a quieter atmosphere I would go on off hours. That said, the brunch is high energy and really fun, so I believe it's worth going at any time!! read more

Went on a Friday around 4-5pm, wasn't busy. The decor, music and vibes were great! Our server was very helpful with recommendations as we wanted to order everything! Get what they're known for, chilaquiles! We got our toddler pancakes which was average and she didn't even eat it lol coffee with the concha was top notch! And we went big and got the... trompico?? The meat tower with the pineapple. Highly recommend. I hope to make this a go to spot read more

We've driven by this place a few times and decided to stop for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Rolled in around 8am and we were greeted and seated right away. The breakfast menu is unique for the area and the portion sizes show value for the money. It will be nit-picky I know but, the only area of opportunity is that our server only refilled my coffee once - which sucked since it was so good and that caused me to have a drinking problem I got the Breakfast Ramen Birria and the Wife had Tostadas de Chicharron - we each lived what we ordered and decided we would come back. read more

My friend and I went on a Thursday at 10:30am. No wait, wasn't busy inside and we both got parking spots easily. I will say there doesn't seem to be a lot of parking in front from what I saw. Unless there is some behind the restaurant but I didn't look. A lot of private parking for the church and other businesses around it. So I can imagine it being like hunger games looking for parking on the weekend. Lols The decor is modern and cute when you walk in. We were greeted and sat at a table right away. It's pretty specious inside. Our waitress was nice with answering all my questions I had. They have a good variety of drinks and food, it's not just chilaquiles. I like how you have the option to customize your chilaquiles. I went with the chilaquiles rojos with birria and it was good. My only complaint is they were they were on the border of cold and warm but I'm glad the chips weren't soggy. The waitress gave me a side of the spicy molcajete sauce to try, I'm glad she did bc I didn't like the taste. The rojos sauce is better. The serving is a good size but pricey for $20 when you can make it for cheap at home. Lols But eating out isn't cheap. I also tried my friend's churro French toast and it was delish. read more
Positives - A cute establishment with neons and fun decorations. The food is beautifully arranged and the portions are very generous. Service was excellent, we had a very friendly and attentive waiter. Love that they have breakfast food all day! Plenty of parking. Negatives - The food tasted just ok to me. It looks better than it tastes, I think. I was also a bit weirded out that the big TV by our table was airing the Republican National Convention (weirded out that it was playing political content, I would have been equally weirded out if it was airing the Democratic National Convention). Not necessarily the content I have in mind to play in the background while enjoying dinner with friends. read more
The strawberries and cream pancakes were delicious. I wish they were a little more on the fluffy side. They're very dense/thick. Chilaquiles is definitely generous on their portion sizes! I did like how there is an actual strawberry shortcake icecream on this as that is one of my favorite icecream bars. I would come back to try other items on the menu and just so you know, Thursday they have ceviche for $6! Great service and loved how nicely lit and decorated the inside is! I highly recommend to check them out. read more

I had been wanting to try Chilaquiles for a while, and finally placed an order....or tried to. Unfortunately, their online ordering wasn't working, so I called it in instead. I had the menu in front of me and followed the "build your own chilaquiles" steps. On the final step, I told the person on the phone that everything standard was fine except the jalapeños. She confirmed the order, but I wasn't given a total. When I arrived to pick up, I was shocked to find my order totaled nearly $30. Turns out, she interpreted "everything is fine except jalapeños" as me wanting all the extras added......which came with several $2 upcharges each. I didn't push back because I hate making changes after something's already been made, so I just paid and took the lesson: next time, I'll be clearer and confirm every part of the order. As for the food, the chilaquiles were good, but not the best I've had. And for close to $30 (or even $18 if I had ordered more conservatively), it's just too expensive for what it is, especially given this isn't a fancy or upscale spot. Glad I tried it, but I don't think I'll be back. read more
Dined at Chilaquiles Modern Kitchen in Mesa AZ on a busy weekday with my cousin . I was visiting AZ and wanted to try modern kitchen since I like chilaquiles. I ordered the Divorciados with birria and an unsweetened ice tea . The chilaquiles were very good and did not disappoint. The atmosphere was modern , service was ok which is why I removed one star. read more

Well. We waited 2 hours to be served. Just to have cold food, basic service, and be forgotten for awhile. When we ordered a lot of the things we wanted were out for the day. Such as menudo and the chocolate abuelita The food looked amazing but the entire order was wrong. The food wasn't that good. It really was dry, unseasoned and cold. We sat without napkins for about 20 minutes after our meal started. We asked bout 3-4 times. It's busy we understand our server was running around getting stuff. For a "Latino" owned business, the music was very modern and in English. The entrance to the restaurant was very to par with the theme but lost the theme in the dining area. The bar looked great and it was small for a small party getting drinks. The wait was not it for the food or to get in. There was a line to get in, and a line to put your name on the list. A lot of people were in the way and they were confused where to go . Something has to change for the sign up, manager was rude and the hostesses one of them was actually helpful while the other gave the stank eye. They were towing cars as well. Honestly this place has potential but right now it's a definite skip YA'LL. read more

I've been to this location twice within a week. The first time was on 6/15/24. I was here with two other friends for a breakfast meetup. I was here at 8am and there was already a line forming, this place gets busy very quick! I was seated at a table quickly at 8am and ordered the cafe de olla, which comes with a concha. The drink and pastry were delicious! Our server was not too bad, he was friendly and checked on us a maybe once or two times. Waters were never refilled and we never got extra napkins like asked. When it came time to split the bill, which I told him in the beginning before we ordered, he was frustrated. Overall a pleasant experience and a fun meetup. The second time was 6/22, the food I previously took home was for my husband who enjoyed it so much he wanted to try the food fresh in restaurant. We arrived around 1130-1145 and were advised it would be a 45 minute wait. The hostess took my phone # and told me they would text when there is a table open. We contemplated leaving but were seated really quickly at 1150! We were seated by the bar which 0/10 would not recommend. The music is so loud in this area it's difficult to talk. I don't know if that's why the service was so terrible so the second visit. Our waiter took our orders brought out drinks and water and then was never to be seen again. We caught him and asked for extra napkins, he gave us two. Had to catch him again and ask for a fork to eat with my birria ramen. We ordered pancakes with our meal but by the time we were ready for the check we cancelled the order to which our waiter seemed annoyed about? Also, have you ever eaten a birria taco with one napkin. It's messy. The food at this place is delicious, the cafe de olla is so fresh tasting and the concha was perfect. But the service is terrible. Expect a potential good meal if you come here. Don't expect good service, a refill on drinks, the correct utensils to eat your food with or to be checked on at all. They also might forget something from your order, and get annoyed when you ask about it. But the food that you do get? Absolutely delicious. read more

My friends and I came here to celebrate February birthdays. We have a group of 10 so we had to wait an hour to get seated. They don't take reservations on Saturdays. It was packed! The inside has a fun vibe decorated with cute signs. The food was pretty good, but I don't think the chilaquiles were anything special for $18+. It was nice to try, but not a place I would come running back to. It was nice that they bring out a cheesecake with a sparkler for birthdays. read more

The restaurant is fairly small and it was packed. Our weight was only about 20 minutes, which is not too bad.. our waitress immediately greeted us and brought us our coffee, which had a small pan Dulce on the top. I had the Chilaquiles with red sauce and Carnitas. The egg was a perfect over medium egg. The Carnitas were juicy flavorful and it had a lot of of it. The corn tortillas were thick and crunchy. The red sauce was smoky flavorful and just good. My Wife loved her green chili Carnitas with Carne Asada. The restaurant had a DJ that was spinning some good music. We will absolutely be going back read more
The food was amazing. I was disappointed on the scrambled eggs. I didn't think we can mess up on scrambled eggs. Never again will I order that style eggs. The mimosa flights were amazing! French toast was delicious. Will go back to try something new. The parking was in the back dirt road which was different. Not that much parking in the front. The place is that busy. read more

Service from Nene was great, attentive and friendly. There was a wait but table flip here quick. Bravo to management as they have got service figured out. I think it comes at the expense of food like simple as potatoes come out barely warm. Everything appears to be production ready except the eggs so it can quickly be assembled and served. Food was no better or worse than anywhere else. Downside for me was simply the club music pumping. It's Sunday morning nobody needs all that with brunch, its just too loud and bad music for the vibe. read more

I'm always on the lookout for a place that can properly make real, Mexican chilaquiles like my grandmother made. This was pretty good but a bit expensive. We both ordered an entree and only had water and the bill was $40. They way overcooked my over easy eggs and the chicken was pretty tough. I had both red and green sauce and none of it was spicy. I make my own red chile sauce and this one tasted a bit like tomato and the green sauce had a fair bit of tomatillo and not much green chile. Chips were nice and crispy and overall flavor was decent. The french toast was like a bready churro and delicious! Staff were very sweet and the place was cute and clean, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 3. We will try other things here. read more
We decided to take dad to breakfast. None of us had been here before but the reviews were good. Sadly the place was packed and the music was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves. Dad actually stayed outside until the table was ready. The food was slow to be sent to the table and mom did not receive her food until everyone had finished eating. We will not be back. read more
I had no idea this place existed until my friend invited me here for brunch. They have complimentary valet parking since it was busy by 930am! I walked in and was seated quickly. It's an Instagrammers picture paradise. So many cute neon signs, leafy walls, and an angel wings neon picture standee! They have lots of cute drinks that come with pastries on top for dipping but I stuck with a soda and my chilaquiles. The chips were fresh and crunchy, the egg was cooked perfectly and I loved the green sauce & ground beef. It was served in a skillet to keep it warm. My friend had the trio, which came out on a long plate and each section had different chilaquiles. It was so good and let's just say some of my friends were jealous I made it here before them, 10/10 experience. read more
