    Dip Trio - Salsa, Guac, Street Corn Queso

    This was a cool spot in the middle of Scottsdale. Perfect for large groups, and had a vibey atmosphere. The food was good, and the drinks were tasty. The Watermelon margarita was delicious and tasted just like a watermelon. The bowl was a nice size. I liked the option of making any taco a bowl. Service was good. Food was correct and came out timely

    This place was so busy! We went at 4:30 and got on the waitlist. We waited 50 minutes to get a table but there were 9 of us. Our server was really nice and got everyone's orders accurate. We had the Brussels sprout nachos, grilled shrimp tacos, ceviche, steak quesadilla, and deviled eggs. Everyone enjoyed their meal very much. The food had nice flavor and the perfect amount of spice. The skinny margaritas were also super good. This place is very trendy and very popular with tourists so expect a wait but overall I would say it's worth the wait.

    We were planning to have breakfast in a nearby, very popular place, but after hearing the queue was closer to 2 hours, we changed our plan and entered Diego Pops without any waiting time. What a great surprise it provided, and made us wanting to come back hete soon again. Very nice ambience with indoor and (mist) patio areas, and the most courteous and professional service. Food was tasty, tex mex style, and there were nice drinks too. Location is fabulous although it might be slightly challenging to find parking slot nearby. It is in general nice to just roam the Old Town streets in any case, so that is of no concern. As commented, we will be back soon again.

    Always a fun energetic vibe. The staff is friendly, happy hour specials are great, I always order chicken tacos, I recently tried the shrimp and I was blown away how tasty they were. Fun time for cinco De Mayo as well.

    This place has a great vibe, especially if you sit on the garden patio. The decor is "poppy" and fun. The food arrives quickly which is also nice. I would skip the drinks unless you're getting a margarita. Our server wasn't very attentive which likely attributed to the three star review. The food is ok. Nothing super special. Loved that they didn't put cilantro on everything. Sorry, I'm that girl. lol

    People have dog me because I tell everyone that Diego pops is my favorite place for tacos. When I go out to eat, I like to feel welcome. I like to experience the most exciting dishes with the restaurant has offer and dear the Mom has great variety. You name it. You get out of here calamari they got it. Do you want tacos? they have it not sure what else they have. I usually just put the tacos to be honest, but the appetizer are what I love because you can go crazy on the appetizers, it doesn't matter what appetizer it's a perfect appetizer so you gotta do that and of course, the churro at the end the best churro possibly that I have ever had it was just perfect. I believe it was a strawberry. Everybody has their pics for best taco in the valley. Mine is Diego Pops because it's a good atmosphere. I guess I'm just more about feeling comfortable sometimes and at Diego pops I feel at home. like that.

    Love love love this place, it's in Scottsdale so you'd think it'd be way more expensive but it's not. Definitely go on a Monday when tacos are discounted. Cool vibe and great food, get the governor steak tacos and try ALL of the salsas!

    Food is pretty basic. Prices are not bad for old town. Service was great. Atmosphere was your old town vibe. The menu is small and simple which I love. We got happy hour app pricing, that was pretty great. But the bowls and tacos were mediocre. The Sonoran dog was a sad excuse for a Sonoran dog. It was like a Nathan's hot dog with guac and beans on top. Nothing like a real Sonoran dog, starting with the bread. It was just hotdog bread, honestly shouldn't be called a Sonoran dog. And it was $9. That was pretty pricey.

    Had my first Sonoran dog here. Found the menu had a good variety everything we tried was tasty. Ate outside. The wire chairs are not very comfortable. They limit your stay to two hours and you might not want to sit in them mud linger than that anyway. Service was fine. They keep busy

    Quesadilla with Beef Mahaca and Street Corn
    Skylar F.

    A hungry group of girls wandered into Diego Pops and we ended up having such a fun time. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, which made it a great spot for our group. The quesadilla was incredible and the chips and salsa were amazing. They also have an assortment of sauces that are definitely worth trying. Everything we sampled there was packed with flavor. The only things that didn't quite hit for us were the Brussels sprout salad, which didn't have the best flavor balance, and the taco bowl, which was surprisingly a bit bland. The taquitos only came with three and were pretty good (yummy meat and crunchy shell) but the lettuce was a bit sour. But honestly overall experience was fun and yummy. Service was fast and efficient. Wonderful:) Overall we loved the experience and would absolutely come back.

    Brussels Sprouts Fact: In 2014, competitive eater Emma Dalton ate 325 Brussels sprouts in 36 minutes. Although Guinness World Records didn't officially confirm her record, this is the largest known quantity of sprouts consumed in one sitting. I've been wanting to pop in here for the longest time. Who in Arizona doesn't know their iconic Brussels Sprouts Nachos (Street corn queso, queso oaxaca, fresno chili, pickled onion, roasted garlic beet crema, fried egg)? At the table is a generous offering of more hot sauces but more importantly, they have a giant squeeze bottle of that pretty-in-pink hued roasted garlic beet crema. Squeeze more on, cracking that egg, and dig in! It was bite after bite of pure bliss. The table also shared some ceviche and I got a crispy fish taco on the side. It was an amazingly delicious evening with some colleagues. Diego Pops has a 4.1 star rating on yelp with over 2.7k reviews. I get the hype and the hype is so well deserved! They also have a great Happy Hour special (7 days a week from 3pm-6pm): 1/2 off appetizers, $2 off beers, $6 Diego Margaritas , and $6 wine and sangrias.

    I have tried Diego Pops a few times before and I didn't really care for it. But the past two times that we have visited have been 10/10 experiences. I think it's because of the time we visited in the past. In the past, we have gone in the evening hours and it was way too packed and because of that, the quality tends to follow the chaos of the guests. Regardless, I'm giving them a 10/10 rating because their tacos are incredible! Their drinks are great and the service ESPECIALLY when you sit at the bar is grade A! The gentleman that was working the bar was incredible and it made our visit very pleasant! Thank goodness we finally found our taco spot! The vibe inside is really cute. My absolute favorite thing about the restaurant is the AMAZING SAUCES! I am a condiment girl and can't eat food without it! Amazing sauces! Love them! The green chili chicken taco was my favorite! Pair it with the beet sauce (pink) and it's *chefs kiss!!!!

    I visited Diego Pops on a Bachelorette Party and absolutely loved it. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I picked out this spot, but I really did enjoy it, as did the rest of the group. The vibes were awesome and they did a great job accommodating for our larger party! Food and drinks both exceeded expectations and the pricing seemed fair for what we got. If you're looking for a fun ambiance with indoor and outdoor space, go for Diego Pops!

    Ask the Community - Diego Pops

    Do they split checks for groups? We have a group of 9 girls going in June and wanting to plan ahead.

    Sorry I don't know since it was just two of us

    Does anyone know if Diego Pops is open for Labor Day?

    Is this place dog friendly?

    Yes. They have a patio area

    Can you modify menu items to accommodate allergies or preferences? E.g. remove cheese and cream to make dairy free.

    Yes, Im allergic to milk not lactose intolerance and they accommodated all my needs

    Would I be able to get a table for party of 13 for Saturday for dinner?

    They can definitely accommodate that size. The question is if they have it booked or not already. Call ahead do not try to book online and as far in advance as possible. Make resos and for the rest of everyone reading this the next several months… Read more

    Do they take Reservations?

    I believe they do to sit in certain areas. When my buddy and I stopped by we were walk-ins, but even then the wait wasn't too long.

    How do you make a reservation?

    They don't do reservations unless its a larger party, just show up and put your name in

    Is happy hour just at the bar?

    No. Happy hour is throughout the restaurant.

    How big is the portion size? Specifically curious about the breakfast burrito. TYIA

    I don't know about the breakfast burrito but all of their portions are huge!

    Patio dog friendly?

    Yes

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.

Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
