    Enchiladas (3)
    Ashley B.

    Happy we stopped in for happy hour. Our sever was very attentive and our food came out correctly and hot! Although these were all good experiences, I must admit I wasn't "blown away" hence the 3 star rating. Again, our meal was good, just not above and beyond

    Yum!! Stopped in and their food is so good! Although the outside isn't much, the inside is cozy. The staff were super friendly. The price point to ratio is spot on. The queso will have you dreaming about it as it's just that good. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned well.

I Love taking clients or friends here to share in the INdoor experience. Your eyes will LOVE looking at the Booth/ Table Decorations that are Enjoyable and Authentic to boot!!

Been here Multitudes of times. And will Never stop going either:)

    Fish taco, chicken enchilada, green corn tamale

    I went on Saturday around 5:30p. There were t many people there so we were seated immediately. The restaurant decor was your typical Mexican restaurant decor. The chips and salsa and waitress came immediately and took our drink orders, which, since it was still Happy Hour, we ordered a couple of margaritas. For our entrees we ordered the Chile Relleno Chimichanga which comes smothered in a jalapeño cream cheese sauce which is my favorite and the Buld your own with: Fish taco, Chicken enchilada and Green Corn Tamale. Both dishes came with rice and beans. The food was delicious, that all I can really say. The first bite immediately had me knowing I was going to finish the whole burrito, even though I know I shouldn't have. I've live in Ahwatukee for over 30 years and however long they've been here I never thought to visit, until my sister told me. I wish I'd have gone sooner. Total bill $45 + tip

    Beef tamales with red sauce  came with rice and beans . Great flavor and tamales were yummy.

    Food portions were great . Great flavor. Nice open space and the art they display along with the walls are beautiful accent pieces. Customer service was great and they were quick to attend to you. Definitely would come back .

    La Casa de Juana has a tamed down menu to accommodate their clientele and not very authentic. There is nothing wrong with that. It is down the street from my almost 80 year old mother who can't handle chili anymore and her flavor palette is now set on basic. She had the chicken enchiladas and I had a piping hot bowl of albóndigas. Having a very hot bowl of caldo brought me back to my days as a kid where Nana would tell you to eat it so you cool down. Maybe it's psychosomatic, but it does make the heat manageable outside. Mom enjoyed her plate and I have to say the arroz verde is a bit of a surprise. Not anything you would see in most Mexican food joint. It was flavorful and not anything I would have expected. The dining area is very big with a small bar. It is very clean. The only thing that really didn't match with the food and motif is the reggaeton and tropical music playing. This will for sure be on Mom's rotation of places I take her for lunch!

    Beautifully decorated restaurant that is inviting. Fantastic service Great daily happy hour that's easy on the budget Complimentary chips and salsa - very mild homemade salsa and loved that the chips weren't overly salted House frozen margaritas on a hot day is the ticket. Queso dip is a bit thick and could be hotter but we enjoyed the taste Refried beans were your typical variety Rice had a great taste and something we both enjoyed Chicken Enchiladas tasted "Americanized" and could have used more sauce (were a bit dry) Creamy chipotle chicken - onions weren't cooked and tasted raw, wasn't creamy at all and chicken tasted as if it was boiled

    Beef and cheese enchiladas with the creamy jalapeño sauce added on top

    I had very high hopes for this restaurant. The website boasted authentic Mexican food so I was ready to give it a try. First off, the ambiance gets a 5/5. The place was decorated in a way that made it fun to look around. Hand painted murals were everywhere. Service was a 4/5. There was not a lot of people in the restaurant and I feel like it took a decent amount of time for the food to be brought out and the check to be brought. Server was nice though. The food was a 3/5. To start off we got the dip trio (queso, guacamole, and bean dip) and this dish was very underwhelming. It all had a premade taste and texture to it. The queso was very cream cheese forward which struck me as odd, and the beans were thick. Not a typical bean dip consistency. The guacamole looked like cheese and pico were thrown on top and had too smooth of a texture. Like it was blended or premade. Next came the entree. First thing I noticed was the creamy jalapeño sauce I paid extra to be topped on my enchiladas was the exact same sauce that was supposed to be "queso". The beans and guacamole that came on my plate were the same as the beans and guac in the dip trio. Honestly the only thing that made me rate the restaurant this high was the meat. It was seasoned very well and extremely tender. I think the tacos or fajitas would have shone a lot more. Overall, a good ambiance with a lot of potential, but okay for the price.

    Colorful and friendly service. They serve complimentary chips and salsa. They also have Happy Hour everyday from 2-6 pm

    Love Casa De Juana. Immediately you walk into this welcoming really colorful atmosphere. You can see the owners are really proud of their culture and I love to see that. Their food is great too, they have everything and also accommodating to any changes. I love the chimichanga. I've tried the shrimp chimichangas, which tasted great! I love the jalapeño cream sauce! I usually ask for it on the side, just cause this is my preference. The food is bountiful. I saw that they now offer birria selections. I plan to go back to try this!

    Quiet and comfortable. This eatery got busy right when we walked in. We were on a time crunch since we only get a 30 minutes lunch and my wife and I wanted to try something new (probably a bad thought process). There was 1, only 1, server in the dinning room. This slowed some of the service, but WOW did she do amazing, she was quick, attentive, and friendly. She did not let her situation get to her and she did not show any stress or let it reflect in her service. The food came out quick and tasted great.

    This place was great! Loved the colorful atmosphere & the delicious food. Their menu is endless, so many good options to choose from. The margaritas were so good, but make sure to order a better tequila. They accidentally gave us 'the cheap one' and it had no flavor at all. They quickly corrected it before we even realized what happened. The service was super friendly & the only reason we knocked off a star was we'd need to try more (first timers), but everything was delicious. The salsa was excellent. Jalapeños were very hot, carne asada enchiladas & beans were some of the best we've had.

    Stopped in on national margarita day while waiting on food at green tea. Hubs and I each had a margarita strawberry and mango, respectively. We found seats right away at the bar and had Mauro as our server. He was friendly, fast and offered great service. We made it just after happy hour but the margaritas were still reasonable at just $8. Would visit again and try the food.

    I'm so glad we finally went to try Casa Corazon. We met with a friend visiting from out of town…read moreduring lunch, and everyone absolutely loved it. The restaurant is inside of an old brick home with wood interior and warm colors. The service was good-- friendly and food came out at a good pace, we were checked on regularly. We ordered an appetizer and then entrees from the lunch menu. The aguachile appetizer is SO good. It's bright, fresh, and has a lot of flavor in the green sauce. It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

The restaurant has a small bar of three seats to enjoy some drinks.. initially we were just going to have margaritas for six dollars during happy hour but decided to have guacamole as well for $10 on happy hour. Guacamole was excellent and came with a bean dip. To complement, our guacamole and chips we checked out the salsa bar. The salsa bar has over six choices of salsa. One of my favorite salsas was hibiscus. We enjoyed our quick happy hour so much that we hope to come back for dinner as I see Mole is on the menu. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I hear that they have open a second venue not too far from the original place. They have an event venue. Their original place is in a former church. The architecture inside is very interesting due to the roof structure.

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.

Also bring a group. The portions are huge and the food is clearly meant to be shared. Trust me on this one, bring friends. I've tried a bunch of dishes here, and there are a few I always go back to. For the table, Camarones Locos is an easy choice. The flame grilled shrimp comes out hot and full of flavor, perfect for passing around. La Patrona ceviche tower is massive and worth the order. When it hits the table, you immediately feel good about the decision. El Pulpazo is technically an entrée, but we always order it as a shareable. The octopus is grilled perfectly and it comes with rice and beans, so everyone gets a little of everything. For entrées, my number one pick is the Lobster and Crab Enchiladas with green sauce. I think about this dish at least once a week. The enchiladas are packed with lobster and crab, and the green sauce ties the whole thing together. Honestly, I could talk about this place all day. If you like Mexican food and seafood, you need to try it. Great food, big portions, and a menu that makes it hard to stop ordering.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. 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.
