The atmosphere is super cool hip Mexican full of great folk art. Live music. Excellent attentive and friendly service. Nice selection on the menu for the adventurist in Mexican cuisine to the not so bold who wants a delicious enchilada. Love this place! read more

We were a little worried bc there are always open tables online. Not to worry, because it's a huge restaurant with many tables. In fact, there are two outdoor areas and a very long table for 12 on the first floor. The food is outstanding and the margaritas are inventive and delicious. Arguably best restaurant in the area. Kids menu, great tacos and churros! read more

Service was amazing. Loved the decor and atmosphere too! Shrimp relleno and chicken mole enchiladas were wonderful! Churros were a bit too hard otherwise food was great overall. Would definitely go back. read more

To start, we made a reservation and was seated off to the side when many other tables were available. Service was very slow, we had to go to the bar to get drinks (wished we sat at the bar). The food is expensive, small portions, and bland. The place is nice, wish the food and service was better. read more

Stopped for a Friday lunch while vacationing...excellent food and service, and very cool overall vibe!

The food was good, but the serving size of the beans and rice for a dish that was meant to serve two was a total ripoff. Additionally, when we ordered the casamigos blanco tequila that was listed as $13 on the menu, our server explained that it was not the right price and charged us an additional $8! This was strange, rude and just not right. Don't think I will be going back. read more

First off: 5 stars for Customer Service; every employee was very helpful, nice and kind! That's a big deal. So kuddos to that! Second: 5 stars for The location, building and decor is beautiful!!! This two story modern and trendy resturant has tons of potential! Outside patio has pretty water fountains that are so peaceful when your sitting outside! So many seats for huge parties, renting the place out for a private event or just enjoying the patio views! Upstairs has a huge indoor/outdoor bar, with beautiful outside views but it wasn't open when we went- would love to try that out sometime. 3 stars for brunch: :( (we can't judge any of the normal menu because we didn't eat off the normal menu- so take below with a grain of salt) It was our first visit and we tried the bottomless brunch on a Saturday afternoon. You can have as many sides as you want during your 2 hour visit. It also has a selection of entrees you can choose from and bottomless (select) alcoholic beverages. It's an extra $0.99 cents if you want a Michelada though? Basically all the sides just seemed like they were pre-made in the morning and we were getting small re-warmed plates from a big catering platter from the kitchen (at least that's what I imagined in my head). The sides were all 'good', but I felt like none of them had the 'wow' factor. Everything seemed like simple things made to appear fancy :( our favorite side was the Apple Empanada things they had as a side & Guacamole. ***My feedback to management: Revamp your brunch side food recipes, prep and temperature of the sides that come out for brunch. All of them seemed 'ehh'. You guys have sooo much potential! I see how awesome this brunch could be! But we definitely left feeling kinda bummed and let down with the food we got for the price we paid. read more

My fiancé and I came to this restaurant on Super Bowl Sunday and it was completely open. There was only one other party sitting. Service was amazing. We were seated quickly and the complimentary chips and salsa/beans were brought out immediately. Their salsas were delicious - one smokey and one super fresh, the other dip was refried beans. We decided on some drinks - the agave lemon drop and kiwi de Jalisco. Both were delicious and in my opinion strong, but pretty up there in price for the volume. I was not feeling too hungry after the endless chips and salsa, so I opted for the fajita salad with chicken and my fiancé ordered the short rib enchiladas. His enchiladas were good and my salad was passable. The drinks were definitely the star of the show but we'll definitely be back so I can restrain myself with the chips and try a different entree! read more

Ofrenda - Ofrenda Cave Creek, Arizona - Latin American Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

This was our first visit to Ofrenda but it won't be our last. We stopped by for Happy Hour. Initially, the bar was empty but it soon filled up. The bartender was friendly and started us off with chips and 3 sampler dips, red salsa, bean dip and tomatillo salsa. All were excellent and we liked the dusting of seasoning on the chips, too. The chips seemed homemade. Around 5PM, a singer / guitarist started playing. It added to the enjoyment. After a bit, we ordered 2 app's, shrimp quesadilla for my wife and pimento cheese stuffed jalapenos for me. Both were excellent. The quesadilla came with salsa, crema and guac and my jalapenos had a ranch dipping sauce. We highly recommend that you give Ofrenda a try. read more

EveRything needs an upgrade! Food is awful, waiter service was pretending we were not there, fifteen dollars for a shot of their "generic" tequila! My marguarita needed that because the drink that I was served tasted like they put a capful of tequila In it! read more

I met my friend for lunch today and we both tried Ofrenda for the first time. We both had the Brisket Enchiladas (lunch special, $12.99) and we ordered the chips and salsa (three dips and a basket of warm chips ($3.99), plus a taster of the restaurant's spectacular mole, after my friend asked what it was). Everything, start to finish, was first class, beautifully prepared and presented, with exceptional service. We plan to eat there many more times, and my friend has finally found a place her husband will love. The restaurant looks like it could be a rocking place in the evenings and especially in warmer weather (ample patio space). Today, at lunch, it was convivial, the space is beautifully designed and decorated, and we couldn't have been happer with our decision to go there. read more

Delicious food and drinks! The friendly service and live music made it a fun night out. Highly recommend!

Food was outstanding, service was impeccable and the ambiance is very Mexican and well done. Have a huge selection of Tequila upstairs. They are supposed to start having live music on Saturday nights in a couple of weeks. Went there for the Day of the Dead celebration, had a ball. read more

Owner Carlos is doing amazing things in Cave Creek .. with an amazing menu .. and the decor is beautiful.. We stopped by for cocktails .. the Margarita of the hour was Watermelon with a tajin rim.. so good & refreshing! My friend had the Dill with It with Vodka and we had a Raspberry mock tail that the bartender put together for one in our group and it was delicious and very much appreciated. We enjoyed the cactus fries .. lightly fried with a yummy aioli dipping sauce.. and the Oaxaca bowl .. peanuts and chicharrón was salty spicy goodness .. both from the happy hour menu. The bartenders in the bar area are super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!! Plenty of seating indoors, outdoors and bar area. read more

The restaurant has a good atmosphere and live music hence the 2 stars but that's about it! Being Mexican you would expect good chips and salsa and we were disappointed with the salsas... also the menu is very odd. No fajitas, no burritos and misses the mark for Mexican. The carne assada tacos were greasy!!! The carne assada tasted like oil. My husband had enchiladas and they were okay. The beans look like someone regurgitated and the rice has no flavor. So if you are looking for a good Mexican place we don't recommend. read more

Great food and friendly staff and quiet atmosphere. Next time I find myself in Cave Creek, will stop by again!

Always great! Menu continues to evolve, but quality is consistent and good. Christian is always welcoming and fun.

Started off with a nice greeting at the door and friendly service. They do a nice job with their margaritas and they were well priced. The street tacos are very good and so was the shrimp relleno. The guacamole was good but nothing to get excited overalthough the portion is large enough for 4-6 people for sure. We did not care for the Toritos appetizer which are peppers stuffed with tiny shrimp and bacon. Sounded delicious on the menu but after trying one we left the other 2. All in all we are glad we gave it a try but nothing special to make it a place you want to return to anytime soon. read more

Ofrenda (at this time 12/13/20) is a brand new Latin Restaurant located in Cave Creek. It's a large two story restaurant and bar with two stories of wrap around patios. We started out by sharing the al carbon board. It's a large platter of pepita hummus, guacamole, grilled vegetables, fresh tortillas and fried hominy. The fresh made tortillas were really great and some of vegetables were really good. Our hummus was unusually thick. Some carrots were still hard and others were over done and chewy (you can see this in one of my photos). The fried hominy was also very chewy and not too edible. My server did check on us but got asked how things were before I got into the plate. Our dinners were much better. We both had the trout tamal. The fish was prepared reasonably well. The tamal was tasty but the fish inside was sort of dry. We both really enjoyed the apple mole. The apple mole was delicious. I liked that all the food seemed lighter and healthy so I was able to try dessert and we shared the key lime pie. The deconstructed crust was phenomenal! I could have eaten a bowl of it. The custard part had a pleasing flavor to it but I think they slipped with something like corn starch because it was extra thick and hard to eat. At this time this is a newly opened restaurant that has potential. Three stars means A-OK on Yelp. read more

The GM Christian was our server tonight. We came in for the first time. We ordered drinks and appetizers. We informed him that we did not like the ceviche and we had two bites of it. Christian then took the ceviche from our table. When the bill came the ceviche was still on the bill. We asked him to remove the ceviche as we did not eat it. He then began to argue with us and said he was going to have to eat the cost and then crumbled up the bill and walked away from our table. He then brought us the bill back and did not speak another word to our table. Completely unprofessional and rude. This was the worst experience to have at a new restaurant. Christian maybe try a new career field. read more

Let me start by saying how friendly and welcoming the people at this establishment are! The service was on point, the tequila selection is second to none!!! My wife and I enjoyed the entire experience!! The salsas and guacamole were amazing and the chips were light and crispy!! Our margaritas were top notch!! Dinner was delicious with flavor everywhere!! I had the green chile chicken enchiladas omg and my wife had the Birria Tacos. Outstanding!!! We will be back. Can I get an Uber back to the west valley??!! read more

Ofrenda - Grilled chicken and vegetables - Latin American Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

Decent service. Overpriced food. Poor quality food with little flavor. Very disappointing experience.

Reviewed after 5 visits over 2 years. Great place if you are looking for a definite upgrade from Spoted Donkey or El Encanto. Apps (queso is bomb!), drinks and entrees are all solid and similar to what you would expect from higher-end Mexico City restaurants. Salsas and sauces are fresh, unique and tasty. Staff is friendly, attentive and know the menu. The place suffers from its off the street location, but on a crowded night the vibe is great and the service has always kept up. I don't understand the clothing racks at the entrance other than to surmise that they are trying to generate some extra revenue from the tourist types or showcase some local talent. I think they should move it to the North part of the building and not have it right at the entrance becuase it takes away from the quality restaurant feel and forces a bit of Cracker Barrel gift shop feel. read more

Maybe more like 2.5 stars. My experience is based on one lunch. Briefly, food mostly good, atmosphere mostly good, clean restrooms, service mostly horrible, environment over-cooled with uncomfortable over-powered AC blowers. Greeter was distracted, mumbled, and never used punctuation in anything he said. My pesole was tasty, and a large portion, but a lot of broth, not so much stuff, and was served at a somewhat less than adequate temperature. A street taco was good, but rather dry. Food is well presented and has the potential to be quite good, but today missed. No table follow-up, other than a too quick insincere fly-by by a different server who really didn't stick around for any dialog. After an interminable wait, I finally went to the bar to pay. Fine, but no dialog or personality. Really disappointed. I've had my eye on Ofrenda for a while as I look for new casual lunch offerings in Cave Creek. Was disappointed today. Something was way off, as I feel these folks are capable of much better. Sadly, a return visit is not on my priority list. read more

"Ofrenda", in traditional Spanish is about four elements in relating and honoring those that have passed or the , "Dia de los Metros": the water, so the spirits that have passed can quench their thirst; the 'Papel Picado', or the paper banners, which represent the wind; earth, which is represented by food, which is created here and lastly, FIRE ! These all come together in an 'ofrenda' as an offering to those who have passed before us. All of the 'ofrenda' elements are here and indicative in the alter at the front of the beautiful restaurant as you enter. This great Mexican restaurant is located tucked into Stagecoach Village in Cave Creek. Not only is it a vibe , but it's decorated with the elements of 'ofrenda' tastefully and beautifully! We didn't feel the place was too loud which if you know Cave Creek then you know what I mean! The decor of pretty yellow florals seem to adorn the dining room throughout and it's lovely! We finally tried Ofrenda last weekend and loved it! The atmosphere is fun and vibrant without the high price that goes with a great place in this area of the valley. We were greeted and sat quickly and we did make a reservation on Open Table as it was a Saturday night and it just is smart to think ahead when in Scottsdale or north. Tracy was our waitress and she was sweet and a great, informative waitress. We were first impressed with the margarita menu, all of the margarita's are house made and not that pricey. I went with the Spicy Cucumber and my husband did a Smoky Mezcal. We even did a second margarita so that we could try their house and Cadillac margs to compare to others we love in the valley and again were very impressed. We loved the bar area and the options for tequila were very impressive; we visit Mexico a lot and saw some tequilas that you don't see frequently in the US. We loved the chips and salsas; an order comes with two salsas- one red; one verde and one bean type dip. This I could have done more of but it's $3 per order and I can see why they charge as people probably sit there all night and just munch on chips/salsa all day, but maybe it would be worth comping a chip/salsa like most places do and then charging for the next order. I loved the chips though which were perfectly fresh; light; crisp and not over or under salted and the salsa and dip were great! As my entree, I did the cheese enchilada and I loved it! There were several things on the menu I could have ordered and been happy with and I loved the taco menu , which had a lot of good taco choices. I did not love my black beans which to me lacked flavor and were a bit 'soupy', however, I am only a black bean fan when it involves Cuban food! SO that may be a personal taste thing rather than on the chef or restaurant. That said, I would like to see more 'bean' options! The serving portions were ample and I had enough to take home for the next day and again the prices were great! I would love a true dessert menu and we got the check while still enjoying our drinks and since it was a night out we were going to maybe split a dessert so when we asked about it we were advised there was 'only churros and flan' and that was the only true disappointment for a place that is truly cute. There needs to be a dedicated dessert menu for dinner, at least with some true Mexican dessert dishes on there and some Mexican cafes! All in all my husband and I left so happy that we have a place to go not far from home that we actually LIKE! This was the first true place we have liked with authentic Mexican food that is good -TRULY good- without being overpriced since we have moved to Scottsdale! This may just become our new 'go to!'

Ofrenda - Cheese Enchiladas-$17.99 - Latin American Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

Great feel and atmosphere here. Loved the Day of the Dead decor, high ceilings and plenty of seating upstairs and the main floor. There is also outdoor seating which would be nice on a pretty spring day. Ofrenda means offering in case you were wondering. I got a great offer to try 3 street tacos. You can mix and match. I got one avocado, one chicken mole and one fish taco. Tacos are only available during the lunch hour. The food arrived quickly. First to taste was the fish taco. A nice homemade taco soft shell filled with salmon, mild Kimchi and a tad of cotija cheese. Oh yeah! The chicken mole taco had a slight kick to it. Very flavorful with traditional mole, some shredded cabbage & cotija cheese. Last but not least was the avocado taco. The avocado was lightly beer battered and fried. It had a perfect consistency of crispy outside and creamy inside. The taco was dressed with pickled radishes and an avocado Leche. Which was my fave? Hmm the avocado was so yummy and unusual that it wins first place. Staff were attentive and polite. Will definitely visit again. Parking right outside. Thank you Ofrenda! read more

Entire bar yet they cannot make anything that's not a maragarita. I asked for a Tom Collins and the bartender asked me how to make it. I showed him pictures of other reviews with a lemon drop. He offered to TRY to make one and it was the most awful drink I've ever had! Food came out scary quick which made me think it was just sitting under a heat lamp waiting to be ordered. It was our anniversary dinner. We made a reservation where my husband specifically told them it was our anniversary. Not even a dessert menu was offered ... we legitimately had better drinks/service at the local dive bar a few doors down! Avoid! read more

Stagecoach Village offers a lot to do, see and experience here in Cave Creek, but our fave spot to drop in at is Ofrenda with its incredible array of eats. One of the best eateries in Cave Creek by far. Their take on varied Mexican regions through wood fired dishes makes their menu somewhat unique and delectable! The last time we stopped in, we were on time to try the fab brunch options. Margaritas... great! We tried an incredible Churro Muffins, hard to describe, but unique and superb! A delectable rendition of their guacamole is a must try! We also went for very well prepared Chicharrónes - hmmmm. They offer a great Shrimp Ceviche, a fab Elote, superb empanadas and what they call Gorditas de la Villa (extraordinary). And you've got to try an incredible Mexican Omelet as well as a great Breakfast Enchilada. Both dishes very unique to Ofrenda. Ofrenda means offering. And as such you surrounded by a vibrant alter and distinguishing colors exuding the restaurant's namesake for offerings to the Day of Dead benevolence, not to mention their offerings of fabulous foods. Ofrenda is an eatery not to be missed when visiting Cave Creek. Buen Provecho! read more

We loved Ofrenda. Sat at the bar and had the most delicious dinner. The chicken mole was one of the best I've ever had. The Cadillac margaritas were not too sweet and were perfectly strong. The decor was very nice. The service was excellent. We plan on going back many times. read more

tried this place after we attended a cinco de mayo party there. we ordered enchiladas and three tacos. I had a margarita and my date had a margy sans alcohol. the enchiladas cam dated in a blood red sauce that smelled and tasted exactly like ketchup. the enchiladas were dry, even Bathed in the "sauce", and were quite tasteless. the tacos were very small and the chicken was ok, but nothing notable. I ordered a shot of house tequila to add to my margarita, as it tasted like it had a minimal amount of tequila in it. we ere horrified to get the bill, in which they charged us fifteen dollars for one shot of house tequila! this on top of an exorbitant price.mwill not return nor will we recommend! no wonder the place was sparsely attended! read more

Visited Cave Creek with some friends who hadn't been there before. They heard Ofenda was an excellent Mexican Restaurant so we decided to give it a try. They have a very limited menu. I had the brisket tacos. Not bad, but not very good either. The soft tortilla was thick and pretty dry so as soon as you tried to pick it up it split and out came the filling. The brisket was average. Nothing to write home about. My husband and two friends all ordered one of their flavored margaritas. Although they were all different flavors, they sure didn't taste very different. I stuck with a glass of wine, always my favorite! Although Cave Creek was hopping, lots of traffic and businesses very busy, there were only a handful of patrons eating at Ofrenda. That's speaks volumes in my book. Sorry to say, I would not go back. The lovely town of Cave Creek has so many choices, this place would not be one. read more

We were excited to try this new place but when we went we were let down. Drinks were good but small and pricey. Entrees were also small for the price (plates were filled mostly with rice and beans). They were also out of several items on the menu; we went on a Wednesday night so that was weird to be out of items mid-week. Service was non-existent, waited 20 minutes between our drink/appetizer order and main order and when we were missing items we gave up trying to get them because no one came over (plate for appetizers and tortillas that were supposed to come with entree). I know it is new, but we would have ordered more apps and drinks if we had been checked on/asked, missed opportunity for the restaurant. With other Mexican options down the road, we weren't wow'd. We may go back another time, after the "newness" dies down. read more
