I was so sad when they closed and now I'm so happy they are back. The food was exactly as I remembered and in some cases better than the original was toward the end. I always get Frank's' enchiladas and they were perfect. The beans and rice were also delicious as they always were. The service that Eddie provided was also great. He was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. Please come and support this special place and Scottsdale institution.

Menu. Stacked enchiladas and cheese crisp

Frank & Lupes is back! We enjoyed a meal this evening. We started with the cheese crisp with jalapeños added to the top. It's as good as the old town original. The three of us then split the #1 combination plate. A shredded taco sopapillas, cheese tamales with rice & beans and a chile rellano on the side. The food was all well prepared and delicious. Our house margaritas were made well also. The service was great. If you loved them in old town come north and if you don't know them head to Gainey Village and experience true New Mexican Christmas tree chile sauce.

Glad to see the classic open again. Same recipes, great preparation, and bright new location. The staff is amazing and always with a smile. Time to come back and enjoy the classic! Frank & Lupes rules!!

Now open!

Our daughter was a big fan of the Old Town location and was glad when they reopened at the new location. My wife and I enjoyed the food at the original location in Socorro NM many moons ago. We were all excited to check out the new location . Our server, Jason, set a great tone for the meal. We enjoyed a great tasting menu of carne adovada burritos and blue corn enchiladas (not on the menu, but Jason made it happen with the kitchen). The tamale, taco, and cheese enchilada combo was eagerly enjoyed by our son-in-law. The two seat bench at the six top table was a great place for our almost 3 year old grandson to enjoy his queso bean dip and chips while sitting with his mother. The red and green chile was on point New Mexican style and the poblano was also tasty. Finished the meal with sopapillas and honey. We will definitely be back! I hope they find just the right iced tea vendor before the real hot weather hits! I missed my cold caffeine to wash down the excellent house margarita. I encourage anyone looking for New Mexican style food to check it out. Go and enjoy!

Vince was an outstanding bartender. His cocktails were perfectly balanced, he was attentive without hovering, and he genuinely seemed to care that everyone was having a great experience. He was happy to answer questions, made great recommendations, and created such a welcoming atmosphere. Savannah was great too. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the ambiance was exactly what I was looking for. If I could, I'd start every morning here. Vince truly made my day, and that's not something you can say about many places. 10/10 experience. I can't wait to come back!

We used to come here pretty often, and even though we moved farther away and hadn't been in a…read morewhile, we were really looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. We arrived about an hour before closing and sat down as we normally do. While I was walking to the restroom, which is located past the kitchen area, I heard a server/bartender we've seen several times before ask the cook, in an obviously annoyed tone, if two people had just arrived. When he said yes, she responded, "Who the fuck!?" The cook then looked directly at me. At that point, I honestly felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to leave. We decided to stay since my boyfriend had already ordered a beer, but the experience immediately felt different. We felt like our presence was an inconvenience simply because we came in an hour before closing. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for it. We ordered the beef skewers and a burger. The skewers were okay, but they were not nearly as good as we remembered them being. The burger, however, arrived completely cold. What makes this especially disappointing is that we used to really enjoy coming here. We understand that being close to closing time can be frustrating for a restaurant, but customers should still feel welcomed, especially when they are coming in well before closing and have supported the restaurant in the past. We really hope this was just a bad night, because we genuinely used to love coming here. But after this experience, we unfortunately left feeling very disappointed.

We loved going to Blanco when we were in college in Tucson about 10 years ago, so we were excited to eat at this location! Unfortunately, there seems to have been some huge changes in quality of the food. None of us were crazy about anything we ordered (tacos and enchiladas)- even the chips and salsa weren't that great (none of it was terrible, but not as delicious as we all remember it being). We were there on a Friday night and the mood was kind of sad- none of us ended up wanting to get any drinks since the vibe was off, and we ended up going back to our hotel's restaurant after. The service was ok, maybe a little rushed which was odd since the restaurant wasn't super full. Our waiter asked if we wanted dessert and we asked to see a menu, and he just listed off the offerings and waited for us to decide. Since we wanted some time to talk about it, we ended up just asking for the check since it was a little awkward. Definitely a bummer- I'm not sure what happened. It is nice that they have valet though since parking is tough.

Our waiter was amazingly effusive and very good at upselling - though I didn't bite at the upsell, I did get a nice mango margarita, which really hit the spot! You can see a pic of it below. But this man was hungry, I ordered a combo plate. It had a beef taco, a tostada, and an enchilada. With just a little bit of rice thrown in for good measure. OK - now here's the thing. Was the food any good? Was the ambience of the restaurant adequate for the price point? Yes and yes! Gotta say I was impressed. And a special shout out to the waiter, who gladly took a picture of us while we were chowing down our meal! Needless to say the waiter made all the difference, frankly - the service was very impressive and the food was pretty darn good too. Oh, I forgot to mention the chips and salsa? Very garlic forward and a nice little spicy hit and was absolute perfection! The funny part of it is that this place was right across the field from where the Seattle Mariners do their spring training - I had brought my mom here, probably 25 years ago as she was a major Mariners fan and wanted to see this place. Of course the restaurant wasn't across the street back then! But what a cool location and what a nice restaurant. Definitely will return when I'm back in the Phoenix area!

I ordered their HH double smash burger and it was juicy and very flavorful just the way I like it. Also ordered their HH breaded asparagus, it was okay.

She gave us her name but I forgot because I honestly just wanted to leave, my friend however insisted we stay as we both love the food. Arrived at 11PM yesterday we know the kitchen closes at midnight. So we thought we have an hour for a couple of drinks and a meal. We go downstairs. 2 bartenders behind the bar. They see us, make eye contact and neither one acknowledges us. Fine, we didn't want to stay anyway, music was loud and we wanted to chat. We go upstairs and no one behind the bar. No one greeted us (late, it's ok we understand) we waited for a good 3 minutes until the buser asks us if we have been helped. We said we want to be seated. Only to find out the bartender was in front of the bar talking to 2 other guys . Saw us, thought may be if she didn't acknowledge us we'd go. The buser says "ask that girl" so we do. She said the bar downstairs is open. We told her we came from there and it's too loud. Are you open and can we be seated here, she Goes behind the bar, starts making a drink, we're now 6-7 minutes in standing with no resolution. My friend goes and asks the bar tender again can we be seated and she says ( and I'm paraphrasing because I was fuming I forgot the exact words but something along the lines of "I'll help you when I'm done with this, or when I'm available") I simply just wanted to leave. Friend insisted we stay and clear it with her. She seats us and 2 minutes later comes and introduces herself as if nothing happened. My friend says we wanna make sure kitchen is open. She confirms. Then my friend says "we started off bad here and the way you responded earlier that "your help us when you're available" is not a way to welcome a patron, as we both worked in the industry and still have friends in the industry. Her response in a condescending way was "I'll do better" my friend said no, there we go again, it's not genuine and we just want to make sure we are good "I'm sorry I'll do better" she responds so we simply told her we give up, let's just order our drinks. When she comes back to take food order she can barely speak, she said her mouth was dry or something, and she had the hiccups ... that's when we knew she must have been drinking and we interrupted her little chat with friends at the bar. Once again. The food was amazing. The gusset was very friendly, the bartender who waited our table was unprofessional, rude, and condescending and I don't want her fired but she certainly needs a reality check! That this is not the way to speak with guests. We didn't ask for a manager simply because we didn't want to waste time and wanted to get a drink, eat and be on our merry way. We'll still come back, and enjoy coming to Richardsons and Rokerij

That said, we were excited to come back to one of our favorite spots for a great meal! It could have been an off night, maybe a replacement chef, but we left feeling a little disappointed in the meal and experience. The chicken was overcooked and dry, The pasta was described as linguine, but what arrived was more like a thick, undercooked udon--nothing like the pasta I've had there over the years. The rich, spicy sauce that I remember was also missing, as was the tortilla chip garnish. Overall, the dish was surprisingly bland and simply not very good. After 20 years of ordering it, I was really disappointed--and at the price, it just wasn't worth it.
