Their Thusday summer special of Fajitas and Margaritas fot two is a fantastic deal. Both the food and the margarites are very good, for a fantastic price. read more

It's white wash Mexican food, WHICH IS NOT BAD if that's what you're looking for. The guacamole we ordered was huge, but lacking flavor. Same with the salsas you get a whole bunch but it's so-so. The food tastes good but it's not like authentic Mexican. Service and atmosphere I can't complain about, the patio is great on those cooler AZ days and pet friendly! read more

Today was the first time I experienced Nando's brunch. I ordered their Sonoran Eggs Benedict with Carnitas. I was truly impressed, the eggs were poached to perfection the hollandaise sauce was delicioso. The service is always amazing! Logan and the crew are always friendly and attentive. I'm here at least 6 times a month.... I always get a chance to try the MOM ( Margarita of the Month) Nando's has one of the BEST HAPPY HOUR MENUS. They have a dog friendly patio. Great vibe and great staff read more

Sat on the patio, weather was nice. Food was tasty. We watched the football game but no audio or music to contribute to ambiance. Also, just 1 shrimp per taco. $20 read more

The food was very good, as well as the service. We've dined here a few times and we're mostly satisfied. The biggest downside is the fly problem. Restaurant needs to install fans at the window openings leading to the outside. read more

Nando’s Mexican Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Maricopa, Arizona

We've been loyal fans of Nando's for years and have visited several of their locations love the Chandler location -- all far superior to the Maricopa one. Unfortunately, this particular restaurant has been consistently disappointing. We've given it more than a fair chance -- at least ten visits -- and the kitchen continues to be hit or miss. The service is usually friendly and attentive, but the food quality just isn't consistent. We've had everything from cold, mediocre meals to incorrect orders. On our most recent visit, I ordered the Mexican pizza -- the cheese was melted, but everything inside was cold. The biggest issue lately has been the chips. It's clear the oil hasn't been changed regularly -- the last three times we've been in, the chips tasted like they were fried in old oil. It's such a shame, because Nando's red hot sauce is still the best around and remains our favorite part of the meal. We really hope management takes a closer look at kitchen operations and food quality, because Maricopa deserves the same great experience that other Nando's locations deliver. We'd love to come back and enjoy Nando's the way we used to. read more

Bad service. Bad food. I ordered barrio tacos and they were awful. The meat was tough and chewy. I complained and not happy with the waitress. I was offered to remake the tacos but chose to eat what I ordered. She could have offered to take money off the check but she did not do so. I paid $19 for 3 horrible tacos. I won't be going back. read more

It was my first time trying Nando's and I loved it! Delicious food. The chips and salsa were so yummy, especially the hot salsa. I got the fried tilapia tacos and they were decent. The rice and beans had really great flavor.. But I was honestly jealous of my boyfriend's enchiladas though, they looked amazing! I will be back for those!! We both really enjoyed our experience here. The service was quick and friendly. The outdoor seating was very nice. Definitely recommend trying it out. read more

Absolutely disgusting! I ordered a chimichanga and it was the worst chimichanga I've ever had. I also ordered a tostada and it was literally like a wet paper towel. Absolutely no crisp. It was soggy. Everything was way overpriced, and the workers look like they were miserable being there.. read more

I'll be honest, it pains me to write this review. I've been eating at Nando's for 20 years, primarily the one in Gilbert but over the years I've eaten at all of them. I have ordered food from this location on DoorDash and while something did seem off I chalked it up to it being delivered . Today was my first dine in experience with this location and my fears have been confirmed. The food just isn't the same. I typically order the green chili pork chimi border style. The filling was bland and lacked flavor or spiciness. The chips and salsa also seemed to miss the mark. The staff and the service was friendly, fast and efficient. The ambiance while different from the other locations was nice and the restaurant was clean. read more

The service and drinks were great The food not so. Hubby ordered the Buenos rancher eggs over easy. They made them well done. Not happy. Also they had the doors open and to many flies to fight off read more

Let's try again. Service was OK again, she seemed to be overwhelmed. You get chips and a carafe of salsa, they also give you a ounce of hot salsa, you can have more at request. The salsa is very good, great flavor and fresh. The shrimp Fajitas was excellent. Shrimp tails are already off and cook beautiful. The guacamole is also very good and not spicy. Not sure about the refried beans, they taste like canned, they do not taste fresh. This is a good place and will go again. read more

We go to the Nando's in Maricopa once a week & have been regular patrons for ever since you opened. There are typically 10-12 in our party each week. The service is pretty good most all the time. We are always happy when we sit in Cory's section. We have noticed the food quality has been poor & inconsistent over the past few weeks. The taco I ordered last week was so skimpy with the meat. The portion of meat was no more than a tablespoon & put in the center so each bite on the ends had nothing but a crunch. Sometimes the flavor is too spicy hot or shredded beef is more like a pate. I stopped ordering tacos. Others in the group had similar feedback. Last night was absolutely the worst. The chips were rancid like they used really old grease to fry the chips. We waited for more chips but they never came before our food was served. We asked about our chips as our food was being served and it was a waste because we were eating the meal when the new chips came out after waiting 45 minutes for them. The happy hour menu is great but we ordered extra meat on the quesadillas & still didn't have meat in the outer pieces. It was all bunched up in the middle 2 pieces. As I said, we are regular patrons and last night, at the end of dinner, we made plans to do our weekly dinner at another restaurant next week. I'm not saying that we will never go back because we like the ambience & friendliness from the front of the house staff. I hope next time we visit again, the back of the house issues are resolved. We spend a lot of money ordering cocktails plus the food so it's not a cheap night out. Just hasn't been the right value for the money lately. read more

Disgusting food! Meat tasted like it was from a can . The burrito had a nasty thick "tortilla" that was drenched in flavorless sauce . Included black olives..wth . The steak was flavorless and the same meat that should be in Chinese beef and broccoli. Food was terrible and was charged an insane amount . Would give 0 stars if I could. DO NOT EAT HERE! read more

The food and drink are great! The workers there are very friendly and very nice people! They seem to care about the service they give you! Adele is a great lady that runs the bar and makes fantastic drinks, she always give service with a smile! 10/10 would recommend!!! read more

Should've just stayed home. I came out to have a margarita and celebration of Cinco de Mayo. Big mistake. This is the closest place to where I was staying and the pictures look pretty promising. It took me an exasperatedly long time to even get seen by any staff members and when I finally did receive my drink it was awful. It was so watery I literally had to ask for more flavoring there was absolutely no requila in it. Like I honestly felt offended that I was served that. I shouldn't have even had to pay for it because it was trash. It really put a damper on the holiday. I don't think I will be coming back to this location. read more

**Disappointing First Visit - Flavorless & Feels Like Frozen Food** My girlfriend and I were excited to try this Mexican restaurant for the first time, but unfortunately, it was a huge letdown. We started with the mini chimichanga appetizer, which was bland and tasted like it came straight from a frozen Costco pack--no seasoning, no freshness. The chicken inside had zero flavor. For our entrees, I ordered the enchiladas with rice and beans, and my girlfriend had the flautas with chicken, rice, and beans. Both dishes were shockingly flavorless. The food had that unmistakable microwaved, frozen quality--nothing like the "handmade" meals they advertise. Even the rice and beans were bland and uninspired. We really wanted to like this place, but it's hard to believe anything is made in-house when it tastes so processed. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about flavor. read more

Had chicken chimichanga And every bite into meat Had gristle in it For 19$ I at least expected Chicken breast not mystery Meat I'm not exaggerating read more

Let me start by saying that the staff is not the reason for a one star rating because they were all polite and attentive! Also, the seating outside is nice & they are pet friendly! What wasn't great was the food. While it was nice and hot, the flavor was not there. We ordered the birria taco platter & at $17 a plate we were expecting more. You get two tacos that didn't seem fried like it says, the beef had NO flavor, and the consume was pretty flavorless as well. I didn't finish my plate. Won't be back but enjoyed the overall experience of trying it. read more

I love coming here during the week. The restaurant is always clean and I get seated and served so quickly. The food all tasted perfect today. The rice tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. The beans even tasted really good! Rice and beans are something I'm usually pretty critical of, and these guys nailed it today. Coparita wasn't as spicy as I was expecting it to be but it still tasted good and was so nice and refreshing. Keep up the great work Nandos! read more

Went here spur of the moment. Not many people were there so was seated right away. Prices were a little high but if you get there before 4 you can get pretty decent lunch prices. Our server was really nice but often forgetful and we had to keep reminding her about of things we asked for. I'd expect that if it was super busy but the place was pretty empty at the time we went. Place was decorated nicely and I really liked the murals on the wall representing our town. I didn't go over to the other side of the restaurant so can't speak on how the bar is. Will probably go back as it's the best Mexican place in town. My grandson said it was the best burger he's ever had. read more

Whenever I get uppity Mexican food it's never good. I really wanted to like this place. Quesabirria tacos were mushy. The shell was like baby food. Idk if they spilled the sauce on it or what but it was not good. Fajitas had little seasoning. read more

We typically have a good experience at Nando's but last evening we were very disappointed. We sat at our table for a while before someone took our drink order while the staff was hanging out at the bar and hostess table. You had more staff than customers and it was obvious they were bored. It would have been nice to see them help the servers out instead of standing around talking. We waited much longer than normal for our food which wasn't warm as it had been sitting there while our server was hanging out in the bar area. Also the portions seemed smaller. Please do better. read more

Ordered taco salad & they forgot to drain the salad after they washed it and decided to use it in the salad. Thus you get this much water in your salad. Not professional. First day sous chief stuff. Not professional. But they did give me my lunch free. The waitress Sam was great and went the beyond. I will try it again just because of her and manager. read more

I'm a sucker for chips and salsa and they are the best! The chips always come out hot, fresh and crispy. I love that they have two salsa options one mild and the other is spicy... I always opt for the spicier one. Their food is also very delicious. Everyone is very attentive and look like they enjoy working here. It was always a must when I'd come and visit my mom but now I live here and now I can come whenever I want (trying not to make it a habit). read more

Went on a Friday during beginning of happy hour and was seated quickly. Place is open and great ambiance. Nice and cool inside. Immediately get served chips and salsa and our drink order was taken. We decided to go with appetizers and the bean dip was a large bowl like the size of a cereal bowl full of jalapeño bean dip and it was so good. The chips were flour tortillas fried so a different texture from regular corn chips. We also went with the nachos and they were so good. They use fresh jalapeños and they were so good. Between both apps we didn't finish either. We tried their specialty drink of the day prickly pear vodka lemonade and it was ok but wouldn't order again. They say when you can't taste the alcohol that's when the drink is dangerous but not the case. Overall will go again. read more
