Dwayne O.

Chrispa's 2 Tacos Carna Asada were very good filled with lots of goodies, very filling and tasty, nice job on the tacos and thank you for substituting the beans for extra rice. The taquitos were crispy and tasty, nice for my 90 year old mother to eat, the guacamole that it comes with was a nice compliment. Small restaurant, locally owned and run, please try them out.

Quesadilla A La Carte
Nicole G.

First and foremost, the service was STELLAR! We wanted to stop in and pick up lunch on the way to my in laws house, they were closing at 2pm and we didn't know this as it was our first experience at Chispa's. We called our order in and before we even placed the order, we asked if it was okay since it was so close to closing time. They were so accommodating and they were to happy to take our order for pick up. When we got to the restaurant, they had our order ready! They were all so kind and welcoming. The restaurant was small but perfect to match the vibe and also had a cute outdoor seating area for guests. Conveniently, this spot offers a drive thru as well which is always great for on-the-go! The food. My fiancé and I rated our experience 7.5/10. Here is the rundown... My fiancé ordered the two carne asada taco plate, I ordered the carne asada burrito, and our son ordered the cheese quesadilla. The quesadilla was THE BEST, SO DELICIOUS! Although, I feel a different container would have been better for transporting to retain its shape, heat, and sticking together since they're stacked. The carne asada burrito. It comes with beans and rice and your selection of meat plus up to 3 additional toppings (a few for example are onions and cilantro, grilled onions, pickles onions, avocado, chipotle crema, jalapeños, and more). I chose avocado, pickled onions, and 2 sides of chipotle crema. Highly recommend the sauces on the side so you can control the quantity and ensure the sauce is in each bite throughout. It was delicious. The one flaw....The beans. I was not a fan of the beans. Which is unfortunate because the beans come in the burrito and on all the plates etc. I just found the beans with an off flavor, almost too salty. The color was not pleasant looking either. If these beans were changed, our 7.5 ranking would easily move to an 8.5/9. My fiance ordered the tacos. He really enjoyed the tacos, he opted for onions and cilantro for his toppings with sides of hot salsa. They were really good and it was a perfect portion for lunch. Yet again, the beans on the plate lunch option were not the best. Would we back again? Yes, absolutely. However I would order either the beans on the side or just opt out of them completely. Great lunch spot! Can't wait to try other items at Chispas! I encourage you to give them a try! Fairly inexpensive too! For the three of us, it was $40! Not bad at all! Fresh ingredients, great service!

Solid place with lots of great options. Was able to walk next door and get drinks to bring over which is a fun little twist. I had the taco plate with carne asada. Great portion size and flavors.

4 Birra Taco Special Tuesday and Wednesday only

Ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and it was huge! I got the "hot" salsa to go with it and it was delicious. No wait either on a Wednesday morning

2 beef tacos rice and beans
Beth B.

This place is a gem. I can't believe it took me this long to try it. everything I've had so far is amazing. The rice and beans are delicious. The beef tacos delicious and I really like the egg and potato burrito. I don't think you can go wrong.

Breakfast bowl... I've been sleeping on the menu with the same same nearly every time. Not this time.
Jessica C.

They got me. Sometimes they forget the avo salsa OTS but I still go back, often. Honorable mentions: Chorizo & Egg burrito is a hit for the Kid with cilantro & onion added and avocado salsa on the side... I dig the burrito with veggies, I switch up between refried beans and pinto, add pickled onion, carrots and jalapens and the avocado salsa on it. Civeche Stuffed Papa Breakfast bowl hit a pocket I didn't know existed Carne fries are delicious, I'd stuff 2 orders in if I were physically capable Horchata yum Oj yum yum Quesadilla is massive Birria tacos on Wednesday & Thursday I thoroughly enjoy this place and it is one of maybe 2 other "drive thru" establishments I am willing to drive through. Yes, I do recommend and yes, I will return

Horchata
Kat V.

Wow I should have been here sooner! The roasted green chiles are delicious and I love them in my bowl of fish/rice/refried beans. Salsa here is hot and spicy. Horchata is tasty and thicker than other place. Outdoor seating is nice and also dog-friendly. They also have drive thru that is wrapped around their building.

Needs more toppings. Too many fries and not enough of the other stuff.
Richard F.

"WOW NOT WHAT I EXPECTED!" I got the carne asada fries -really good flavor -salsa taste amazing -pico is fresh -fries are crunchy and I love that they are not thick -I love the addition of the cucumber in the pico -notes to chef: The cilantro garlic aïoli was too strong on the garlic side. The sauce should be considered for revision. For $13 dollars there needs to be more food to fry ratio. When I was eating this I was left with only fries at the bottom, wanting more toppings. The BURRITO was amazing. Tortilla is really good, steak is seasoned perfectly. A well rounded burrito that I would order again. Would I come back? YES I WOULD

2 Tacos (2)
Olivia C.

I went for a quick lunch and had some pretty good tacos! Staff was super friendly and they made some pretty quality tacos. Queso and chips were good as well!

I ate a bite and then remembered to take a photo. This is the bacon burrito. So good!

I was in town for business and my colleague has a gluten-free allergy so we picked the spot because…read morethey offer a lot of gluten-free options. I will say I think we ordered too much food We had the burrata and the hummus to start. I had the barbecue ranch salad with chicken and she had the rustic bowl with steak. Everything was really good. The hummus was phenomenal. I wish the chicken in my salad was hot versus cold, but I would definitely come back here. Service was great really cool vibes inside they do offer outdoor seating as well.

I am so baffled this has 3.9 stars. I will legit never come back here!!…read more The service is DIABOLICALLY LONG I cannot BELIEVE how long we waited for 1 coffee and 2 entrees to-go when the restaurant was EMPTY between 9:30-10:30. I am actually so upset. We ordered at 10:09 and recieved the cappuccino about 10:15. We waited and waited, watching the 3 workers scramble for something to do. Cleaning up the bar area, scraping bird poop outside, count the leaves on the trees. Idk. I understand they're not the ones responsible for the slow kitchen. We waited 30+ minutes for our food and finally at 10:41 am we got it. Wanna know what we ordered? Avocado toast and a steak melt. One of the simplest things on the menu. And remember there were maybe 2-3 solo customers doing computer work or at the bar, who had already ordered and were just enjoying the day. The only other customers vying for an order from the kitchen was a family with some small children. I cannot fathom coming here at a time that is more busy and having to compete with multiple other parties to get my food the same business day. Do not come here if you're really hungry. We ordered at 9:15ish to eat there and even that felt like it took long, when there was even less than 3 customers there. Thank you for the cold cappuccino and your lack of urgency for customers. I'm so glad we tipped y'all twice to do the bare minimum and serve us food whenever you felt like it.

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS Butters Pancakes and Cafe…read more8300 N. Hayden Road Scottsdale, 85258 We were going to the Maricopa County Home Show at Westworld and needed to have some breakfast first. This is located about 3 miles from there. Other reviewers all noted that the place is usually packed, and today was no exception. However, the line to get in moves quite fast and we only waited about 10 minutes. When we were called for our table, we were given menus and fresh ice cold glasses of water were on the table. This restaurant is known for having fresh squeezed orange and/or grapefruit juice, so that was the first thing that was ordered. There is a machine loaded with oranges in the front, and the juice was a real treat. Companion ordered coffee, and I ordered a cappuccino, which came in a large (proper) cup with a lovely head of foamed milk on top. For the main courses, companion ordered steel cut oatmeal which came with little cups of brown sugar and raisins. Companion totally enjoyed the large bowl. For myself, I ordered french toast topped with apple/cinnamon glaze. It was delicious, but I could not possibly finish it. I felt so sorry for it to not be eaten, but I had to leave it! There are many servers on the floor and it became apparent that they all covered for each other. As for the food, they must have a dozen cooks in the back because as crowded as it was, our food came out quickly and really hot. I'm glad I don't get to this area often, because I'd blow up like a balloon with the quality of this food. Sanitation was as it should be, and the noise level was acceptable. 5 stars Sentry - Restaurant Reviews Tempe, Arizona 85282 Find us on Yelp, Google, and all around the world.

If you plan on going in the evening, consider making a reservation if you want to play safe, especially on a Friday or weekend night. Overall, would try again.

Friends had been to the Montauk before and invited us to meet them for a weekend lunch…read more I made a reservation, so we could be sure to sit inside, since it is already well over 100 degrees outside. The six of us were seated across from the bar, and it was HOT . I started sweating and needed to use the menus as a fan and drink water to try and cool off. The restaurant had already been open for almost 2 hours, so I am not sure why it was so hot inside (others in our party were hot too, so I wasn't just me). Positives are the restaurant's beach decor and the hamburgers. Several people in our party ordered burgers, and they were cooked to perfection and the fries were really good! Negatives are very few seafood menu options and the fish tacos were terrible. They were drowning in a mayonnaise based slaw. The corn tortillas were really fresh and tasty, but when I bit into my taco I could mostly only taste mayonnaise and the pickled onions. Our friends even made an unsolicited comment that my tacos did not look good. Luckily, I selected fries as my side, because they were the best thing on my plate. With a name like Montauk, and the beach decor, I expected more fresh seafood options on the menu. More than half the menu was not seafood (Mediterranean platter, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, brussels sprouts, salads, etc.). Unfortunately, Montauk does not live up to the hype.
