I came in on a Monday ( not knowing it was taco Monday) and the bartender Delaney was an absolute rock star. She took care of all of us, made our drinks fast and delicious, and did it all with a smile. She made my margaritas extra spicy read more

Great brunch spot with good prices. Brunch is served until 2pm. I ordered the breakfast sandwich that came with their breakfast hash. The bread was really soft and slightly toasted. The potatoes had chopped onion and some cheese that were delicious. Service was quick but there was some miscommunication in our orders. My friend didn't get the right protein for her bowl and another friend had her eggs the wrong way she wanted. She asked the waitress if there was eggs inside the breakfast taco but she said no. She asked for eggs to be added inside but she gave her a sunny side up egg on the side instead which we thought was really funny. It's a cute place that has retro coloring with a Mexican flair to it. Prices were good at about $12-15 for each of our meals. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Diego Pops - Weird JDM wagon outside - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Average food and drinks. Was not impressed. The price was high for the quality. Service was good though.

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!!!! read more

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! read more

It had been a while since I had been to Diego Pops, but my recent visit helped me remember why I used to view this as a reliably good "chic Mexican" restaurant. The staff was friendly and timely, and their menu consisted of some pretty solid Happy Hour specials, such as half off appetizers and noticeable discounts on drinks. The Grilled Shrimp Bowl was solid, but a small personal downside to this place, and many modern/trendy Mexican restaurants, is having to pay for chips and salsa as opposed to getting them as a complimentary table appetizer. Worth a visit if you've never been! read more

Diego pops is a staple when going to old town Scottsdale. Parking can be a bit hard but that's expected in old town. We went on a Wednesday so there was no wait and were seated right away. Happy hour was almost over so we ordered some chips and salsa and a margarita. I wish the chips and salsa were free but again were in downtown Scottsdale so to be expected. The ambiance of Diego pops is very lovely, with low lights and a quaint atmosphere. The food is phenomenal and I love that they give you a variety of sauces to put on your food. I got the chicken quesadilla! Will be back ! read more

They have a nice, casual outdoor patio and bar with heaters. The street for queso was delicious, and so were the side of beans we got for our chips. The tacos themselves were delicious because of the super crispy tortilla shells and their excellent sauces. My favorite was the Serrano ranch, but it's fun to try all 6 of them. The meats themselves weren't that special, but the sauces made all really tasty. You can get the Governor taco off menu, which has beef and melted cheese. The Sonoran taco came wrapped in bacon, which was very yummy. read more

I love this spot and have been here multiple times! The vibe is super chill, service has always been good and food is tasty. I came in here the other night with a few girlfriends for HH and it was a lot of fun, a lot of food, and very reasonably priced. We ordered the appetizer trio, which are chips with salsa, guacamole ans queso. All of it was delicious! We also tried the brussel sprout nachos ans that was super yum! My friends tried the chicken taquitos and said they were good. One friend also got a soup. We all had some margaritas, one friend got a Prosecco. Overall, everything was great! And the bill was the best part, split 3 ways, it came to under $20/person and you just can't beat that! I'll definitely be back and definitely coming back for HH. Come join me next time! read more

I met a couple of friends here on a Wednesday for happy hour and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive. She checked in periodically and she had good menu suggestions. Although it was 100° outside, we opted to sit outside. Withthe mistress on, it was cool. Our food items was received timely. And yummy! There is a small parking lot in front of the facility as well as garage and street parking nearby. There is accessible parking spaces as well as accessible entrances. read more

After finishing a little shopping in Scottsdale, we worked up an appetite and figured we would grab lunch. Tacos were on our minds so we stumbled across Diego Pops. I loved this place so much! Everything from the vibe to the food to the service. It was as a great experience. They have very cute indoor and outdoor seating, plus a little parking lot for customers so that's super convenient. Our service was superb from start to finish. She was attentive and helpful with ordering our meal. The tacos, rice, and beans were seasoned so well and freshly made. The grilled steak was by far my favorite! But they were each so tasty. The prickly pear margarita was also tasty. If you're in the area, you should definitely check them out. read more

My friends and I had a great time at happy hour at Diego Pops! $6 classic margs, 1/2 off appetizers, and $3 tacos are such a good deal We tried the dip trio which was good and all got an assortment of tacos. Even though they were $3, it did feel like they weren't all filled the same. Like some of us at the table had a taco with lots of toppings and filling, and some didn't get that. I wish I could say we liked our service more. We had to ask our waitress multiple times to put our order in and it felt like she was trying to wait until happy hour was over ): we also had to ask multiple times for water refills... just seemed like she was walking past us trying not to look. read more

Came on a Friday night with a party of 7. It was also the first night of Canal Convergence, so the crowds were bigger in the entire area. Despite this, only had to wait about 20-30 mins for a table. My kids both got the shredded chicken tacos kids meal, which comes with a bowl of shredded chicken (which is very juicy and yummy, but also note it's drippy and can be messy!), a side of 2 tortillas (we ended up asking for more and each kid got 3 tacos out of his meal), beans, rice, cheese and avocado slices. Super tasty tacos that my kids both enjoyed. I got the braised pineapple pork taco and the braised green chili chicken taco. Both were very tasty. We also got the street corn which you can get on the cob or in a bowl. We opted for the bowl since we were sharing. Good portion and also tasty. We got a coconut lemongrass ceviche for the table, which was definitely on the sweeter side but was enjoyed by our whole group. Comes with lots of tortilla and plantain chips and served in a pineapple. Mangonada was good as well. Service was attentive and friendly. Would recommend! read more

Visited Diego Pops frequently, they allow dogs on the covered patio which is also fun and welcoming for dog folks Food has is good, why not 5 stars? recently experienced missing ingredients from their food, unfortunately only noticed once I've finished eating and realised they've left the prosciutto off the prosciutto bowl :( In addition to the left off protein, we've been forced to wait for tables while many tables are left empty or waiting on being cleaned. Imagine how much more business can be achieved by seating folks faster? They are not alone in this practice, but when sitting waiting for 20 minutes to get a table whilst seeing empty tables inside and out going empty the whole time, is not a good practice. But for the price, dog friendly and menu selection, this does make Deigo Pops a spot that's a good option. read more

Ambiance -- we were outside and it was not too hot so it was perfect but even then there were misters along the patio. Would recommend! read more

Best happy hour! $6 margaritas, yes please! Went here for a celebration and the food and drinks were the perfect combo. For the $6 margaritas you can add flavoring like peach, mango, guava, pineapple, and much more! We orders the chips and salad & corn queso. The chips were thin and crispy, and the salsa were perfectly seasoned. I ordered the charred skirt steak tacos and they were tender and the two different types of onion brought a nice savory and sweet balance to them. Our waiter was was super sweet and thoughtful. The restaurant is on the smaller side so get there early! read more

Diego Pops has been on my list of restaurants to try for a long time now, and I was excited to finally experience my first visit. I went with my husband at a busy time of night, but we only waited about 10 mins to be seated. Our server was very attentive and visit the table multiple times. The drinks and food also arrived incredibly quickly, but not in a way that they wanted to turn your table over. I ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita and it was beautiful and delicious. The salt rim perfectly balanced out the subtle sweetness of the drink. For an appetizer, we chose the Mexican Deviled Eggs. They were super tasty! Very nice consistency of the filling and egg texture. I really liked the tajin sprinkled on top. For a meal, I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Bowl. I initially thought the portion was a bit small, but there was more to it once I started eating. I also kept in mind that the bowl was priced at only $15, so I think the cost matched the serving. But the bowl was very good! Great flavors, shrimp was cooked nicely, and the ingredients were all so cohesive. They also have a sauce caddy placed on each table, which was fun. I tried all of them and thought each one was delicious. I added a few different ones to my bowl because I always like extra sauce. The atmosphere at Diego Pops is also something to write home about. It had such a cool, trendy vibe and would make for the perfect spot to grab drinks and apps with friends. I think Diego Pops is definitely worth a visit if you're in the Scottsdale area! read more

Went here for lunch while on a work trip on a recommendation from a work colleague! My favorite part was the six sauces that they made available - I loved the salsa verde and roasted garlic beet crema. We got the chips and guacamole, which was a combination of plantain chips and tortilla chips. For my entree I got the California burrito (so good!) and the braised pineapple port taco. The atmosphere was very hip and trendy and they had great service during lunch time. I would definitely come back here for a drink! read more

Good food and fun vibe. Sitting on the patio is perfect in the spring. Fun cocktails and nice to go with just one person or a group.

First time here, the service was great. Our server was excellent. I ordered the mangonada, which i didn't care for at all. My partner had prickly pear which he liked. The food was excellent and tasty. I liked my charred skirt steak and the taquitos. The chips and salsa was great. My partner loved his tacos. Overall great experience and I would definitely go back for sure. I would recommend this place. read more

Diego Pops was recommended by a friend. I was excited to try it. We arrived and immediately seated. They had the cutest decor with an old fashioned stovetop as the hostess stand. They had the drink menu clipped to a license plate. We arrived during happy hour so took advantage of the prices to try things out of the norm. I ordered the classic margarita. It was good and refreshing. The dip trio was very good : corn queso, guacamole and salsa with tortilla and plantain chips. Corn queso was amazing but nothing I would have gotten normally. I really enjoyed it. It was so hard to choose between tacos and bowls but we all opted for bowls. I got the grilled shrimp bowl. They had fresh Serrano which I added cuz I like it spicy. I added the green salsa to the bowl. We also ordered the Brussels nachos. I'm not a fan of Brussels but tried them anyway. Definitely recommend this place. I will prob get the tacos but since we were staying at a resort and needed to reheat our food, I felt it was best to get a bowl. The tacos come with different options that I would like to try. They had seating outside but wanted to limit it since it was rainy. I appreciated that. Didn't want to have to move. read more

Ridiculously small portions of beans and rice -- when I pay EXTRA for beans and rice with my tacos, I expect them to not be so small-portioned that they come in SAUCE CUPS... very disappointing. However, the fish tacos were good. Our server only came by about 1-2 times for our entire meal, which was not good. I will not be coming back here. read more

Still love DIego Pops! This time though I had a chance to check out their late night menu (reverse happy hour ) and it did not disappoint! After a work event, my colleagues and I were in the area and with little to no convincing, we decided on Diego Pops. The four of us were seated promptly and our server was on top of it from the get go. We went family style - the best way - and of course got the brussel nachos, personal MUST, aguachile ceviche, a side of guac and while everyone else got the crispy fish tacos (delicious), I opted for the late night crunch wrap- say less! At 8 dollars, HOW COULD I NOT?! It truly hit the mark and if I found myself out past nine more frequently, I would definitely be going here. Aguachile was good, had a nice kick, but not a stand out for me personally. The guac was also good, but a little boring for what I would expect from Diego Pops. Everything else was great, and consistently is. I also always appreciate the sauce caddy and the great line up from more classic salsa's, to twists like their beet garlic crema. Service was great, food came out quick, food was delicious as always and we enjoyed the fun aesthetic as usual. No notes! read more

From the ambience and cool vibe, to the delicious food, to the great service, a time was had! We went for happy hour. I loved the quesadilla with the braised green chili chicken.

Those hit the spot and really complimented the food! Will be back next time I'm in the area! read more
