This place is such a hidden gem. Absolutely stunning decor and ambience and music is upbeat and fabulous. Food is even better. Been several times and every single dish has been on point. I am notoriously a harsh critic and have nothing bad to say. The elote and the brisket quesadilla is phenomenal. Honorable mention for the lobster enchiladas. read more

Elvira's DC Ranch - Lobster enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

If you're anywhere near DC Ranch and not going to Elvira's, you're doing it wrong. We grabbed a table out on the patio, and it was one of those perfect Arizona setups, great weather, relaxed vibe, and just the right amount of energy without feeling chaotic. Inside, the decor absolutely steals the show. It's vibrant, detailed, and feels authentic without trying too hard, every corner looks intentional and elevated. Now the food... next level. The guacamole was ridiculously fresh and packed with flavor, easily some of the best I've had. And the mole? Unreal. Rich, complex, and perfectly balanced, the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you leave. Top-tier experience all around, from atmosphere to execution. Elvira's isn't just a meal, it's a full vibe. read more

My husband and I came in for dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary. We had been in before when the restaurant opened and recently two separate people recommended the lobster enchiladas. I ordered the lobster enchiladas and I didn't want to ruin dinner for my husband so I didn't mention to the waitress that the lobster was tough and tasted fishy. I couldn't eat much of it, we took most of it home. Today my husband tried to eat it for lunch but he had the same opinion, the lobster was tough, chewy and fishy. I was very disappointed. We also ordered chips and salsa and our waitress did not offer multiple sauces but the two tables near us had a different server and she did offer that option. My husband had the summer menu and he thoroughly enjoyed his appetizer/dinner/dessert. When we received the bill I couldn't believe that the lobster enchiladas were $79. I neglected to ask what market price was ahead of time and I would not have objected to the price if the lobster was fresh and tasted good. I'm truly surprised that your chef served this lobster enchiladas with lobster that was clearly not good. read more

I am sad to leave this review but since this was our second experience here, (the first time was shortly after they opened). We did not have a great experience either time. We figured by now, the kinks would be worked out but unfortunately this experience was worse than our first visit. Let's start with the positive. The restaurant is absolutely stunning. The first time we sat upstairs and the vibe was amazing. Unfortunately, they said they could only seat us outside (although I saw many tables inside remain open during our dining experience). The outside was fine. They had a nice fire and the weather was just right. Chase was our waiter and he was patient and attentive. We ordered the guacamole (without cotija cheese) to start. It was so offensively salty (like someone dumped a bucket of salt in it) that all 4 of us agreed that it was inedible. I asked Chase if they could make us a fresh batch. He said he would send another order out. This time it came covered in the cotija cheese and was twice as salty as the first batch. That was taken away and we asked to try the street corn. What we received was a bowl of cold corn mixed in too much mayo and sprinkled in tajin. We didn't complain, we just didn't eat it. I did question Chase as to why they couldn't make us some fresh guacamole that wasn't overly salted and he said that they could, but it would take 25 minutes due to the fact that one big batch was made in the AM. What?! Shocking considering this place markets and prices itself as high end dining with freshly made food. I've made guacamole a hundred times and it's never taken more than a few minutes. I'm so surprised that the kitchen didn't want to make it right and served us the exact same thing we ordered plus the cheese we didn't want. For our entrees, we had the flank steak, the shrimp, chicken enchiladas and surf and turf. My shrimp was inedible. It was so incredibly salty (the theme of the restaurant) and not cooked properly. The inside was mushy and raw. My husband loved his steak and our friend enjoyed his surf & turf ($115). Our other friend liked her enchiladas but did feel like they were overly salty. We enjoyed our spicy margaritas and then on the next round, we asked for the pineapple infused margaritas. I asked for them to leave the syrup out of mine as I prefer my drinks less sweet. Another server brought them and I asked which one was the less sweet one. He said, "I don't know" and then bailed. Our jaws dropped. They were both syrupy so we let Chase know. He brought me one back that was better and made the way I asked for it to be made. We live down the street and have been to every restaurant in Market Street and surrounding areas and honestly, this would be at the bottom of our list and we won't be back. read more

Ambiance is A+ and restaurant has a very modern vibe and feel to it. Happy Hour was also pretty cool. Tacos are for $4 but really tiny. The flour tortillas seemed under cooked and were very chewy. The Chicken one was by far the best followed by halibut and shrimps. Salsa and chips were also very good but for some reason that is not offered for Happy Hour. The seats on the high tables have no back rest so be prepared to sit upright the entire time which was a little uncomfortable. Overall, would go back but they need to have better and faster service as that was super slow and sluggish and simple tacos were taking forever to show up. read more

The ambience and the decor was beautiful. The mood was dark and low light. I really liked the aesthetics. It was very cool looking. We were celebrating my sister's birthday, so there was a party of 13 of us. I made reservations and we had a server named Britt. He was amazing. I feel like he tried his best. He had our table along with many other tables. Poor thing I know he was trying his best, but service was super slow. Took forever to get a refill or to order something else for the food to come out. Again, I don't blame our server, I actually blame management. But maybe they were under staff so I give them that. The food was good, I'm not gonna say it was fantastic or amazing but it was good. It was fun. It was fun to celebrate a birthday because of the ambience the energy, the aesthetic the decor. Other than that, it was OK I don't think I'd go back. But I'm glad we went and we tried it. read more

We came here for a friends birthday on a Saturday night. We were seated right away and greeted by our waitress. I ordered the ceviche and enchiladas, along with a cocktail. The food was just okay, but the drink was really good and strong. We loved all the decor and vibes of this spot, but unfortunately the food didn't really stand out to us. read more

Elvira's is located in DC Ranch, which is a cute little shopping area in north Scottsdale near Cave Creek. I came here for a bachelorette dinner with a group of girls and we were seated at a high top table in the main dining room. I'm not gonna lie - after reading the reviews - I took a sigh of relief that we weren't seated upstairs because that steep stairwell is a bit intimidating. Stairs + stilettos = equals disaster waiting to happen. I'd be shocked if someone hasn't taken a tumble down those stairs before because man are they steep! Thankfully we were seated on the main level at a high top table so we didn't have to face those steps! Our waiter really tried to be kind and welcoming but I will say I was a bit underwhelmed with the energy in the restaurant. The music was okay but just generally the vibe wasn't super exciting - but also DC Ranch tends to be a more mature crowd. As for the food, although I didn't realize my shrimp tacos would be two fried shrimp with a mango salsa wrapped in a jicama based tortillas, it was actually pretty flavorful and even had a little tiny bite to it. The guacamole was pretty good and the watermelon cojita salad definitely wasn't aesthetic but was tasty. One thing we noticed is they were definitely very generous with the cheese on all dishes and the salads were covered in The ambiance with the entry table full of candles, cool chandeliers and dim lighting were all very nice. read more

Another fun happy hour at Elvira's! Just tacos this time, no appetizers. Got a picture of new cocktails this time, too! This was a good experience, however we did feel a bit neglected sitting at the end of the bar on a Friday at 5. Bartenders were very busy, it was hard to get drink orders placed. This is your profit center, so it should be top priority. Food order came out quickly, but bartenders never followed up to see how it was. We weren't even sure who was really responsible for our seats. Eventually we flagged someone down to order more food and drinks. Still can't get enough of the shrimp tacos, short rib is also excellent. Cocktail menu on happy hour includes the road to Jalisco, and a beautiful pomegranate lemon drop. Always a pleasure to dine in this gorgeous restaurant. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner and had a great time! Ambience is very trendy and elegant at the same time. We were a party of 7 and our waiter was so attentive, kind and quick. The food didn't disappoint either. I would suggest their molcajetes!! A delicious meal for sure. Someone in our party got the Ahi tostada and that one could've used a little more salt and citrus. Otherwise, all around 10/10. They made sure are all meats were at the correct temperature and made it as ordered. Also a table was super kind and got us the churro donut dessert and we owe them a huge thank you because it was delicious! They serve it with a chocolate sauce that taste so close to the abuelita hot chocolate. The flan was also good just not for us because we didn't realize the grated cheese that it came with. Would definitely visit again!! read more

First of all, Elvira's is a gorgeous restaurant. It can be a little hard to find but once you turn off the road, you'll see the center that it's in is really pretty. when you first walk in there is a table filled with huge candles - - it's gorgeous! There are some sequined luchador masks next to the hostess desk, and wonderful punched tin lamps hanging from the ceiling. They're also some lit glass hanging from the ceiling which look amazing. The very long red velvet drapes add to the ambiance. Up the stairs in the mezzanine there are tufted banquettes with pillows, and some tables. Gorgeous mirrors hang on one wall, and on the other wall are large pictures of ruchadors with just their face lit up - - very cool! There's a small catwalk with one table at the end. There's a small bar upstairs and a larger bar downstairs. You were greeted by the very friendly hostess and taking upstairs to our table immediately. Our server was fantastic offering lots of suggestions. He was very attentive. We ordered: *Xalisco Margarita *Modelo Especial *Tequila Queso Fundido *Red Snapper Vera Cruz *Flank Steak Molcajete Everything was delicious, and presented beautifully. The queso was real cheese, not the typical cheese sauce, and the flank steak was draped over a hot stone bowl to continue cooking. Hubby said the flavor of the fish alone was fantastic, and even better with the sauce. This is definitely on the higher end for Mexican food, but definitely worth it. read more

I visited Elvira's for a friend's birthday dinner. Upon walking in the atmosphere was a little brighter than we expected. We thought that it would be a bit more moody but that wasn't the case. The staff was very accommodating to our party and allowed us to bring a cake and place cards for the table. The food was decent for me. I ordered my steak medium rare but it was mixed up with someone else's at the table who ordered a medium. My medium rare steak looked really good on their plate though! Lol. The medium steak I had was okay but I don't care for medium cooked steaks therefore it was just okay. To drink I had a Mezcaliente. I wouldn't make the drive all the way from the West side of town to come here but I wouldn't come back for an event. I feel this place is worth a try. read more

The wife and I were looking for an upscale experience for a Friday date night and decided to give Elvira's a try. The initial impression walking in the door was great. The lighting and design is well crafted, giving off a unique blend of a dark gothic type vibe with odes to Mexican culture. When we were seated we noticed right away that the tables were arranged a bit closer to other tables than most high-end restaurants and the place was packed, so it was a bit loud. To start things off the wife had a blueberry lemon drop which she thought was just "ok" but what I really liked and thought was refreshing. I had the Mezcaliente (margarita made with Mezcal) which I enjoyed as a fab of Mezcal. The highlight of the dining experience was the Nopales, Mango and Jimaca salad, which we ordered and shared as an appetizer. It was vibrant, refreshing and flavorful and gave us a sense of a true dish you'd enjoy dining in the Yucatán (which we've done many times). It was one of the best salads we've had in recent memory. For main course my wife had the Caribbean Pineapple Halibut and I had the Shrimp Vallarta. The Halibut was good--not necessarily great, and seemed to be missing a sauce or some type of ingredient to really bring out a flavor in the dish. The Shrimp Vallarta was a solid selection for me as a shrimp lover. The shrimp were flavorful and firm and the arroz had a nice blend of fresh cut jalapeños and spices for zest and flair. On the whole the experience at Elvira's was good, but for the money and other exceptional options at that same price level, the experience wasn't great. We hoped for something a bit more romantic based on the photos on the website and the close proximity to others and loudness didn't really generate that vibe we had hope for. The service was great but the food, like the overall experience, was good but not great on the whole. read more

Had the most incredible experience at Elvira's DC Ranch -- everything from start to finish was absolutely top-tier. The food was not only beautifully presented but packed with flavor in every bite. You can tell there's so much thought and quality behind each dish. The ambiance is just as impressive -- warm, stylish, and elevated without feeling overdone. It's the kind of place that feels perfect for anything from a special occasion to a really great night out. And the service? Truly exceptional. Attentive, welcoming, and genuinely made the whole experience feel personalized and seamless. This is one of those spots you leave already planning your next visit. Highly recommend if you're looking for an all-around amazing dining experience. read more

We only ordered appetizers so I will have to return for a dinner for the full experience but this place has got to be one of the coolest restaurants I've dined it. From the dark lightening to the stunning chandeliers, walking in leaves you gasped. My friends and I ordered the guacamole, the Shishito Peppers and the Panko Fried Shrimp Tacos. The sesame glaze and ginger used on the peppers were beyond amazing.. literally was ready to lick the plate. The Panko Fried shrimp tacos were soo good that I forgot to take a pic until after we ate them . I opted for the alcohol free Mango Mule which was refreshing! Absolutely will be back. I need to try this place for a real dinner! read more

What an absolutely gorgeous restaurant! We visited Elvira's for a friend's birthday, had a reservation for 8 and our table was waiting on us. They did have us upstairs, which was fine for our group but if you have mobility issues be sure to reserve downstairs seating. The ambiance here is stunning. I know I mentioned that first sentence but it's worth saying twice. They have a good variety of options on their menu for both drinks and food. I ordered the Tamarindo Margarita, which was strong and delish! We had a couple appetizers for the table; guacamole w/ chips & salsa and the Maitake Queso Fundido. Both were great and complimented each other well. Definitely enough for our group portion wise. For my main I went with the Chili Relleno w rice & beans. It was a hard choice! They have 6 different types of mole and I love me some mole, but I also love a Chili Relleno. Our server Jordan was telling us his favorite things he mentioned the Chili Relleno was the best he's ever had. So I went with it! Was it the best I've ever had? No. But it was pretty incredible. The sauce is delicious. I really just wanted more of a fluff around my chili. I get it's made all different ways and this was super good just lacked a little fluff for me. I loved their refried beans and I'm a bean snob. Everyone else at the table really enjoyed their food, as well. For dessert they let the birthday girl choose any dessert for free, which I thought was nice. They even arrived to the table with an elegant lit candle for her. The service here is great and Jordan took good care of us. If you are looking for an upscale Mexican restaurant definitely check out Elvira's! read more

Elvira's DC Ranch - Menu photo - Mexican Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

To start off, my family, and I love to fine dining around the valley where we live. We love an ambience and great decor and all of the above. For my daughter's birthday she picks this restaurant to try out at the DC ranch in Scottsdale. It was very easy to find parking out in the parking lot. We got parking right in front of the restaurant. It is in a very large plaza with other restaurants and it's very clean and very pretty at night time. There's lots of little twinkle lights everywhere. We had a reservation for 730 for 13 and our table was not ready for us when we arrived. So they sat us all at a high top to order drinks and chat while they got our table ready. It did take quite a while to get to our table, but we were entertained by each other and having a cocktail so it wasn't the worst. But I was told several times by different staff members that they were getting our table ready, but the other patrons were paid, but they wouldn't leave. Of course, I thought they could just tell them to leave, they are done dining. They had another table to set up...but OK whatever. We are very easy, PEezy family and friend group so we just went with the night and finally got our table. This restaurant is not very big but it is beautiful. It is so fun. It's got the velvet huge curtains from high vaulted ceiling to the floor, it's got lit candles really cool chandeliers. The decor was super fun. We all had yummy fancy drinks, wine all the goods, we all ordered appetizers from the Elote to the guacamole, the ceviche, fundido. They have a wonderful cocktail list. They have your popular wines and you can get a bottle of wine for a very reasonable price and I feel the food was priced very very well not very pricey at all. So many people at the table ordered the steaks and enchiladas. They have lobster enchiladas $79 market value for those yoke lol chicken enchiladas were delicious. The sauces were absolutely delicious. You can tell they were freshly made and just so much love was put into that food. I ordered the lingua Mole which was very tasty and tender and delicious. They don't have Spanish rice. It is just a lightly seasoned white rice and they have pasty pinto beans for the side, which is fine if you like refried beans, but the rice and beans were very simple. So my daughter ordered the fish entrée which she really enjoyed. They had really nice people in the restaurant as well...saying happy birthday to my daughter and other very nice patrons that were just really nice to us. Just seemed like a really nice positive vibe. So we ordered several desserts the flan cheesecake donuts so many yummy yummy desserts. Now let's get to the nitty-gritty OK we had a fantastic server. So sweet, so funny and a great server. He was absolutely divine! He was so attentive and even though I thought this was a fine dining restaurant from yelp. It didn't have the type of dress code of finer dining restaurant would have there were men in there with golf pullovers and baseball caps. But also many people dressed to the nine and looking fantastic... so yeah now. The service was impeccable like you were in a fine dining restaurant tho. The second our wine glasses were empty. He was asking us and serving our wine asking us if everything was OK just fantastic.! He was so super attentive. I would go to Elvira's for a top notch, high-end service experience with delicious food. Everybody had a great time. We will return to Elvira's DC Ranch sometime in the future. read more

This has been our go to favorite local restaurant and I hate to leave this review, but something has changed. First, we were shocked to see our favorite dish the Flank Steak Molcajete price jump from $40 to $80! That's insane and disappointing. You should probably update your website and Open Table menus so customers aren't shocked as they are sitting at the table looking up your website to verify the doubling in price. We almost walked out and we should have. We asked for another salsa to go with our guacamole and they brought us enchilada sauce. The enchiladas and poblano were cold and flavors tasted old and canned. Our waitress was the highlight of the night with very good service and very friendly. We won't be back anytime soon. read more

Popped in around 5pm on a Friday with my parents and was able to be sat quickly but out in front of the restaurant (not ideal but with no reservation can't be picky.

It was a little pricier than we imagined it would be but I imagine if we got the ambiance of inside next time it might fit better. Would recommend trying it out read more

We have been to Elvira 's in Tupac and that one blew us away! This one was very nice, but it seems to be a Scottsdale water down version of the one in Tubac, just north of Nogales, Az! Don't get me wrong. The place is beautiful, but the one in Tubac is breathtaking! The food here was very good but comparing it to the L virus and Tubac this is where I say it's watered down. I had the halibut and I thought it was a bit bland. My husband had the ribeye steak and he thoroughly enjoyed that. My girlfriend had the shrimp Vallarta and I had that at the Elvira's in Tubac and it was so spicy and good that I couldn't wait to order it again. However, this one did not have the spice level that the one in Tubac had. The service was good and our drinks were phenomenal. For two people we spent about $300 including drinks, which was what I expected. That's not the part that bothered me because I will pay money for a good meal. I just felt that the food at the Scottsdale location, lacked the punch and spice level compared to the one in Tubac! Overall, we did enjoy ourselves, but I was disappointed because it did not live up to the greatness of Elvira's in Tubac! read more

I enjoyed my dining experience at Elvira's. I wanted to eat there because I'm a huge fan of the original Elvira's in Tubac (which is incredibly beautiful - even more so than its DC Ranch counterpart), which has been family-owned since 1927 - it is definitely a bit of a local institution! Like the Tubac location, it is a pricey meal, but you would expect this from a place that markets itself as upscale dining. There is an upstairs location that has beautiful decorations in line with the main dining room. We were sadly seated in the outside area (we were told there were no tables available inside. Wish we had been asked for a preference when we made our reservation a few weeks ahead) and it was a bit lackluster in terms of the decor. Tip: when making a reservation, call them rather than using Open Table or other online reservation system and you won't need to give a credit card to hold the reservation. The food was good, portions are generous and of particular interest, they have a good selection of mole dishes. Service was friendly and our waiter was attentive. The decor is beautiful - though, again, if you've visited the Tubac location, you know it would be hard to top and this was not as lavishly decorated. But still very elegant. Plenty of parking as this is in a big plaza. There is a ramp for people with disabilities at the back, but not for the front entrance. No access to the upstairs area other than the stairs. read more

(Visited on Oct 11, 2025) Glad this location opened! We've been to Tubac many times, now we are happy to have this location in our backyard.

It's a slightly different menu, but I think the moles are the same. Thank you for helping us celebrate my mom's birthday! read more

Ambiance had some unique features Service was promising I didn't expect the stairs to our table to be so steep, being a person with disabilities I stated I could not climb the stairs and asked if there was an elevator, there was not but the hostess said that a table would be available soon in main floor if we cared to wait, we did a few minutes later we were seated right next to the hostess station We immediately were given water by a very friendly young man after that we never seen another staff member We waited patiently rereading the menu excited to try some food... I want to say 20-30 minutes passed and still no service As it was our anniversary dinner my husband said we'll give it 3 more minutes... nothing so we quietly got up to leave I informed the hostess station the table was now available since we were leaving due to no one ever came by to even take a drink order, had we had a drink to sit and get into a comfortable mood maybe it would have helped We walk out get to our car and drive down street. The manager called and apologized for the mistake and offered to buy us dinner I declined she apologized again I said the mood for our anniversary was ruined already and would not be returning she offered to send me a gift card via email I said that wouldn't be necessary and stated I'll just leave a review on yelp We never got to try the drinks or Food so if you happen to go I hope you receive better service than we did PS it is a bit of a drive and Im in Scottsdale but for me it wasn't worth my time to drive back to a place that I don't even know if the food is worth it that's why I declined the GC read more

The decor is s&m meets vampire seduction the lighting and real wax candles make the ambiance eclectic. The playlist is on point also. The food was so delicious we had the summer menu with a selected menu with a few of the regular appetizers and entrees the 3 course meal for $50 meaning you can have more cocktails. Everything was cooked with amazing flavors and Ritu made sure we were happy with our selections. The portions are a good size to fill your stomach with happiness. So much food. read more

Over hyped by social media. The food was not healthy, I ordered the shrimp vallarta and the bottom of the dish has a 1 inch layer of oil. I sent it back, as the rice was in soup of oil.

We really enjoyed our restaurant week experience here however, $9 for chips and salsa is highway robbery. We ordered it to see what it could be for that price and it was chips and a thin watery but flavorful salsa. Only one, no refills. Sorry but that that's ridiculous. As for the rest of the meal, it was great. I got the molcajete. It came to the table boiling. (literally) hot and was loaded with shrimp and scallops. Garlicy and delicious but a little odd. They give you a few tortillas, a bowl of guacamole and a bowl of beans. I guess we were supposed to make taco type things with all of it, but the guacamole seemed to be out of place even though it was delicious and you really could've used some rice to soak up the yummy bubbling sauce instead of the beans. Queso fundido app was excellent if a little too rich and the dulce de Leche cheesecake was Yum. Brought half of everything home because the portions were generous. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful. We will be back but we won't order $9 chips and salsa again. read more

Original restaurant is in Tubac. They chose DC Ranch of all places to house this 2nd location. Friend who suggested this amazing restaurant forgot to reserve a table. Gracious hostess made room for us on the patio, letting us know we had an hour 45 min before a reservation would be sat @ exact table. Elated, we order margaritas, sangria & mexican beer from our most personable & suggestive server, Landon. The food was so delicious, you can't wait to return. Vegetarian options like the Tequila Queso Fundido was so good! Snapper and Salmon we all raved, confirming our return to this great restaurant. Service, from the hostess that accommodated our party of 3, to the bussers, to Landon, our server well versed & most helpful with their menu. Not disappointed in the least bit with a beautiful dinner that left us happy and full, eager to return. Ambiance is lively and modernly decorated with very cool mexican art. The lighting decor invites you in immediately which I loved! read more

We had an amazing dinner tonight at Elvira's!! Kaylee was our server and she was fantastic, offering lots of helpful suggestions. We started off with the classic margaritas, which were served in a beautiful crystal glass and were delicious. Then we had the tequila queso fundido which was scrumptious! I had the salmon with mole sauce, which sounds very unusual but was absolutely superb! My husband had the Molcajete with the rib eye steak and he loved it! And we had a margarita with the mescal tequila and it was extra special. We finished off with the churros for dessert. An amazing dining experience!! We will go back sooner than later!! read more
