Celebrated my beautiful mother in law's birthday at Cielo Rojo with the amazing staff and incredible staff The food is always delicious and the staff is super attentive! Thank you so much for making her special day extra special

Camarones divorciado
Ken R.

Another 5-star experience at this amazing restaurant. My first visit was on a busy, packed Saturday night with a large group of friends. This visit was during a very quiet Tuesday evening with just one dining companion. What was unchanged: the service and the food! I again tried camarones divorciado, which is just fabulous. It was made slightly different than the last time, yet delicious! We also had Tacos al pastor. Each dish was prepared and presented with perfection. The service was great and the portions good.

Wow wow wow! This has been on my "to try" list for a couple of months. The inside is so cool, amazing paintings on the wall, very chill environment. We were seated right away. Chips and salsa was good- loved the green salsa. They brought up ceviche on tostadas - so fresh and delicious. Then I had the beef flautas and my husband had the el chingadazo fries. They were intense and the portion was HUGE. Service was so friendly and fast- this place is awesome!

Decor
Rosie B.

We stopped in for an early dinner on Thursday before a show at Stand Up Live. The place was empty when we arrived, which made sense for a weekday, and the décor was cute. Service was genuinely good our server was attentive and friendly throughout the meal.What I didn't realize until we sat down is that Cielo Rojo is a sister restaurant to Restaurante Playa Hermosa. Their logo was on the chip basket, and the menu is identical. I wish I had known that beforehand because we had just eaten at Playa Hermosa the week before and were hoping for something different. I expected more traditional Mexican dishes, but the menu leans heavily toward mariscos.I love Playa Hermosa, but the food here didn't hit the same. I ordered the tacos Mar y Tierra and barely ate them--the shrimp was hard and chewy, and the overall dish just wasn't enjoyable.Three stars strictly for the good service and cute atmosphere, but the food wasn't what I hoped for.

My husband and I tried this place for the first time and were thoroughly impressed. The food was delicious, warm, and generously portioned for a fair price. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and fast with the service. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back!

Fajita
Junior A.

I picked up my sister from the airport and thought this would be a good spot to try. We arrived around 8 PM on a Friday, so I was expecting a long wait--but there wasn't one, which was a nice bonus. We were seated right away, and at first, the service seemed good. Unfortunately, after we placed our order, our server wasn't around much. I ordered the fajitas, and the food itself was solid--the meat was flavorful, the shrimp was good, and the rice and beans were tasty. The restaurant was also clean and well-lit, which I appreciated. One downside for me is the digital-only menu. I think they should also offer paper menus, especially since they seem to market themselves as an upscale Mexican restaurant. Would I go back? Maybe--for lunch, yes. But probably not for dinner.

Chicken fajitas
Jessica W.

Absolutely amazing fajitas! The meat was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and both the corn and flour tortillas were fresh and delicious. Everything tasted amazing, and the service was great. I'll definitely be back!

Tres leches
Madison J.

Food was FANTASTIC! So well seasoned and cooked all to perfection. Excellent service- they were offering free shots and free desserts for couples as it was Valentine's Day. Lupita our waitress was so attentive and kind. They decorated inside and outside with balloon hearts and roses everywhere. It was lovely and we can't wait to go back

Rebecca J.

The best part of the meal was the fries appetizer. I would come back for that but everything else was just okay . My taquitos were pretty dry inside and flavorless . The green sauce on top of them didn't have. Inch flavor either . They had a musician who came in around 5- 6 pm who sounded good . A homey feel and clean but just okay food in my opinion.

Dima Y.

This place is....da bomb yo....love it. Everything was fresh and crisp. Service was excellent. They speak to you in both Spanish and English.

Molcajete
Carrie V.

The food was delicious. We started with the guacamole and then had their Molcajete- so good, highly recommend. The margaritas were also really good and we enjoyed the saxophone music for the dinner hour. My only piece of constructive feedback for the owner is to install some dimmer switches on the lights. Ambience is an important part of the dinner experience and some mood lighting would make a big difference- it was a bit too bright for our liking. Other than that, great experience!

Sangria Blanca
Krystle T.

Came in on a Friday night with a party of 6. We had reservations and had no problems getting seated right away. There was live music and we really enjoyed it! We ordered the El Madrazo Fries as an appetizer. The dish looks chaotic and is packed with many types of flavors but it all worked together well. We're still talking about how good they tasted! I ordered the Sangria Blanca to drink and Tacos de Pastor as my main dish. Not my favorite sangria but appreciated that it was a large beverage and I was able to share it. The Tacos de Pastor were great. The pineapple is the perfect to tie this dish together. Just an FYI - the orange sauce that comes with the dish is very spicy imo so test it out first. Would recommend!

Tequila blanco and Michelada with tajin
Patti B.

This is a modern Mexican restaurant with upscale food and beverages. Modern upscale Mexican atmosphere. The service was a team effort with a small language barrier. Size of dishes were big enough to share. My husband had the Michelada which he enjoyed with the tajin on the rim. We split the delicious and original chicharons, the ceviche, and the lobster and crab enchiladas Enough to share and very tasty.

Does this restaurant have desserts?

To the best of my knowledge and checking the menu, the answer is no desert.

The Oaxaca Asada- perfectly savory and balanced- wow. Pornstar Highball- crushable- all the flavors of a pornstar martini but so delicious and more approachable.

I also got to try the strawberry fernet and Anna's play on a daiquiri and her exquisite bramble shot. Everything was thoughtful- balanced and above and beyond in the flavor department. It's nice to see this bar crank on a busy Saturday. I cannot wait to be back and try more cocktails.

It is the Halloween theme of Psycho Killer Cocktail Club pop-up. There were skeletons throughout, Barnes wire across the ceiling, a large screen showing an old movie, and the walls are covered in vintage posters.

Int was like boozy chocolate milk with Oreo cookie crumbs. Delish! It's did take a bit for someone to come to our table, and we watched people who came in after is get served before we even had sometime take our order. All in all, this is a great little place to hang out.

The bar is clean and the surrounding tables and chairs make for a good hangout spot with friends. They do have an extensive menu of drinks to choose from and the bartenders are friendly and efficient. They do offer some desserts and some light bites as well. The restroom is pretty bougie and I'm mad that I didn't get any pics or videos because that has got to be the fanciest toilet I have ever seen in public! Lol You just have to see it for yourself! If you're looking for a casual vibe with a good drink selection, this is a good one to try. Great for a date night, too! Have yourself a ball at Bar 1912!

The self-appointed king of speakeasies is back at it with another one. Located in the Melrose part…read moreof Phoenix, I checked out Bar 1912 after having dinner at Valentine (hint, hint: the speakeasy is located inside the restaurant). They have a small parking lot, but it's free and I was able to find a spot on a Friday evening. Ambiance (2.5/5): Speakeasies are known for their sophistication and for their hidden entry. Bar 1912 isn't much of a mystery. There are two entry points. Either a door in the back of the restaurant or a hallway inside the restaurant that's relatively easy to find as there isn't a door or anything in between the restaurant and the speakeasy. Our waiter took us there after our meal. Bar 1912 is nice, but just about average in terms of ambiance compared to other speakeasies. Part of the reason is that it's very loud (seats 30 people or so) and all of the seating at the bar are back-less bar stools (which I personally hate due to my back). I would have preferred to sit on the various couches/sofas next to the bar. Service (4.5/5): Friendly, attentive service. Exactly what you hope for when you're grabbing a drink (especially when they take a little longer to make due to their sophistication). You're provided with water without asking which is always a nice touch. I had to grab the bartender's attention once or twice, but outside of that, a job well done. Food (N/A); Since I had dinner at Valentine prior, I skipped food here. They have a small menu consisting mostly of appetizers (many, but not all, which are offered at Valentine). One option which isn't at Valentine, but which piqued my interest is the Sonoran hot dog. Had I been hungry, it would've been a no brainer. They have four or so desserts on the menu, and I had room for dessert, but none of them seemed appetizing. Drinks (4/5): When I'm at a speakeasy, I look for creativity and an interesting blend of ingredients. You certainly have that here. There's a focus on Native American and Hispanic influences here, which is pretty cool, and fitting since we're in Phoenix and everything. I tried two cocktails, one was a hit and one was a miss. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to cocktails, and I know what I like, so I rarely miss. Unfortunately, it happened here. With that being said, I tried some liqueurs I had never had before which is awesome. And I enjoyed the cocktail menu. This isn't the type of spot you'll find an Espresso Martini...thankfully. With a couple of tweaks, Bar 1912 could be in line with some of my favorite speakeasies in town.

We had a reservation for 3 on a Friday night and I recommend doing that if going on the weekend. It was pretty full when we arrived at 8:45pm. The bar is not a huge place, there's an area up front with couches, bar seats, and high top tables along the bar. Main takeaways for me-- the cocktails are fantastic and complex. Really well balanced. I also appreciate the service was great, even with a busy bar. I love clarified cocktails and there were 3 options, our server was able to help me decide which one to try based on her descriptions and what I like. The menu is detailed which helps as well. My friend is vegan and she ordered the Living Color cocktail but she didn't notice the taro root cream, only after getting the drink and taking a sip, she realized due to how creamy it is. The bartender had no issue with making her a different drink that doesn't include dairy. But just know I'm not vegan, so down the hatch it went! I liked it as my final drink due to the desert feeling it has-- creamy and almost reminded me of an adult milkshake once melted a bit. During our time there, we ordered a couple drinks each, no snacks this time, we had already eaten dinner. Drinks we enjoyed: living color, passion project, quiet luxury, twig & berries, climate control, and a beer & shot. If you like to imbibe at a bar that isn't gimmicky, just great flavor profiles and spirit forward drinks come here. I'll definitely be back.

We were the first to arrive, we were properly greeted at the entrance, led to our reserved table and wowd after that. The cocktail menu is intriguing, beautifully curated cocktails that come in a single, double or three sip amounts, all delicious all well balanced all extraordinary! They have happy hour so we chose from there and tried a few of their two-sips. Hubs had the full barrel aged manhattan and it did not disappoint. I mean, they do own the Legends Never Die Speakeasy within the premises. Our server came by and explained the menu, shareables that are ment to be enjoyed at the table by friends and lovers. We ordered the crudo, burrata (she is lovely on instagram btw) sourdough bread, tartare and the bolognese. She made sure we got them at the perfect time. One after the other. The crudo had a lovely layered taste, just delicious. The tartare was not traditional, Asian influences but perfectly balanced. The Burrata was sexy, luxurious and delicious, that extra sourdough was a must. The crowning moment came with the bolognese, man was that good! Rich, tasty and perfectly cooked pasta!. I wish we would have room for desert! I'm sure they would have been just great! Everyone was super attentive, ensured we had drinks, water and food. They even seat people so they aren't on top of each other! So thoughtful! Michelin mentioned them on their path, huge honor for Pretty Penny. Congratulations to the entire team!

The sweet potatoes were amazing, and the steak medallions were mouthwatering and so tender I didn't even need a knife. Our champagne and Old Fashioned were wonderful as well. The atmosphere, décor, and noise level were great, and the staff was generally attentive and knowledgeable. They also acknowledged our anniversary with a complimentary glass of wine for each of us, which we appreciated. The food and overall experience felt worth the price. What kept this from being a five-star review was how our reservation was handled. Despite making a reservation in advance, there wasn't a table available when we arrived, and we were offered counter seating instead. For an anniversary dinner, I wanted to sit across from my wife, look at her, and enjoy our evening together. Sitting side by side at a counter wasn't the experience I had planned. After I expressed my disappointment to my wife within earshot of our waitress, we were moved to a table shortly afterward. I appreciated that they corrected it, but the initial experience was still disappointing. The food absolutely deserves praise, but the reservation experience left enough of an impression that I'm honestly undecided about returning.
