    Finally had the opportunity to stop by Otro Cafe during a lunch break! There is some parking in the front and a lot more in the back of the building. As it was a weekday late morning, I was able to snag front parking! Upon entering, the right side of the space is the full-service restaurant and the left side of the space is a casual-service coffee/ice cream shop. I was looking for a coffee shop experience and only explored the left side. I knew I wanted to try one of their specialty lattes and asked the barista what the most popular and sweetest options were. The cajita latte fulfilled both of what I was looking for! I opted for the largest 20 oz size, iced but lite ice, made with the default whole milk. It had a strong coffee taste and caffeine kick but was sweetened by dulce de leche that also lined the cup. Delicious and unique! Of note, they do not accept tap pay and are cash or card only tentatively until around December 2025! I sat at the very right side of the bar area, with ample counter space and comfy bar stools but no outlets for charging. There is an individual bathroom right next to the bar. There is free wifi but no sign for the password, so you must ask the barista. For some reason, the wifi didn't work for me at all during my stay, so I used my phone's hotspot - not sure if this was a coincidence or regular occurrence. Regardless, I stayed for a few hours getting some work done and sipping my latte. Overall wonderful experience at Otro Cafe, and I would definitely return to try their helado or food!

    I liveeee for Otro Cafe. What a good underrated spot! It's connected to Cafecito too. The portions are shareable and for the price it's absolutely worth it. I love the service and seating. I also like the style of the restaurant. Will definitely be taking notes for my own home.

    Otro Cafe (a sister cafe to the fantastic Gallo Blanco) is awesome! The atmosphere is casual with some pretty tile work, Mexican style carved benches, and lots of great artwork on the walls. There is a nice patio with colorful umbrellas in the back and a full bar. Otro Cafecito, a cool little coffee house with pastries, ice cream, and a laid-back atmosphere with some sofas and tables is off to one side. We were seated inside immediately. There were so many good things on the menu that I found it hard to choose. We started with the chips and salsa. The chips were nice and crunchy. I ordered a carne asada torta. It was amazing. The carne asada had a fabulous char flavor, and the bread was so good. It was crispy inside. I think it was buttered and grilled. Either way, it was super yummy. Hubby ordered the Pica Rica hamburger. It had roasted green chili, caramelized onion, cheddar cheese, and a really yummy aioli. Hubby can be quite picky when it comes to burgers, and he said this one was perfect - great toppings but not overpowered by the toppings. It was served with huge, crispy potato wedges. Delish! As good as the food, our server, Monique, was a little ball of sunshine! I commented about her cute apron, and she told me all about it. It felt like talking to a friend. Servers like Monique make all the difference in a dining experience. There is nothing to hate and everything to love about Otro Cafe. It is well worth the drive from Mesa for a meal here.

    Paloma Margarita

    Paloma Margarita Blanco tequila, chile, grapefruit jarrritos, lime Pretty subtle, slightly tart, but not offensively La Gringa Cucumber - basil vodka, coconut, lime, cava Gently sweet, light, pleasant I got a side order of linguica so I could sample the flavor in isolation because I love linguica Smoky, just greasy enough, nice char from the grill, great snap on the skin Definitely some of the best linguica I've had Breakfast sampler platter The chorizo is amazing, great flavor, the cajeta pancakes are SO FLUFFY! Would not like the peanuts again but they're not terrible I didn't review it last time I was here but we had dinner, but I remember it being good enough that I wanted to come back I'm so glad I did; the linguica alone would bring me back 5/5, would recommend, would return

    We were seated immediately (always a beautiful thing), and the patio is genuinely lovely and cozy. Juan was our server and absolutely nailed it: attentive, friendly, and somehow always there exactly when we needed him. Let's get into the drinks, because Otro clearly understood the assignment: Guajava (honeydew bourbon, guava, lemon, bitters): Bourbon-forward but not punch-you-in-the-face bourbon-forward. The guava keeps it balanced without tipping into sweet territory, which I truly appreciate in a world that loves a sugar bomb. Bird of Paradise (400 Conejos mezcal, banana, lime, coconut water): I was deeply suspicious of banana and mezcal together, but consider me converted! The banana is subtle and smooths out the mezcal beautifully, the coconut just hangs out providing tropical background vocals, and the smoked salt rim pulls everything together with a smoky, salty mic drop. My favorite of the day. My husband's drinks (aka the ones I stole sips of): Paloma (blanco tequila, chile, grapefruit Jarritos, lime): Bright, tart, and refreshing in the best way. The grapefruit flavor is delicate, the chile adds just enough interest, and the Jarritos gives it a bubbly twist that works shockingly well. La Gringa (cucumber basil vodka, coconut, lime, chile): I'm not a cucumber fan and almost wrote this off immediately, but the coconut absolutely saves the day. Light, balanced, and way better than expected. Credit where credit is due. Food time: Side of linguica: Smoky, lightly spicy, split and grilled with a perfect char. The casing had the ideal snap and it was gloriously greasy in exactly the way you want it to be. 12/10. No notes. Order it. Sampler Breakfast (2 eggs, flapjack, chorizo, house-made flour tortillas): We upgraded the flapjack to the famed cajeta version with sliced banana, crème fraîche, and cajeta caramel (skipped the candied peanuts). Asked for scrambled eggs and they scrambled the chorizo into the eggs, absolute HEROES. The chorizo is bold and flavorful, and both house sauces are excellent. The green sauce especially is bright and fresh, with cilantro doing the heavy lifting. The tortillas were warm, soft, and perfectly flavored, basically what Mission tortillas dream of being when they grow up. Important announcement: DO NOT SLEEP ON THE FLAPJACKS. Hands down the best pancake I've ever had. Light, fluffy, smelled unreal. I barely noticed the cajeta and did not care even a little. We are not sweet-breakfast people, and I still would've ordered another if I wasn't already full of perfectly golden brown and delicious happiness. Bottom line: Great food, beautifully balanced cocktails, excellent service, and a patio that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Otro Café fully delivered, and we will absolutely be back.

    Go! Just go! If you like Mexican food with the freshest ingredients, creative elements, and fun festive environments, this place hits a home run! Carlos, our waiter, did an incredible job serving our misfit group of 14 on a crazy busy Sunday. Everything I tried was excellent!!!! I really loved the Asada Salad! 10/10 I would eat there again!!!

    This is a beautiful spot in Phoenix, the staff are the sweetest women who always have a smile on their face. The food and coffee never miss, a filling and delicious breakfast. I have done work at their bar top and their cafe space and it's the perfect spot not too noisy! The pastries are a must try -- I have not once been disappointed and always suggest for a day date :)

    Otro Cafe it's was decorated nice but I'm very disappointed the service I value my time, especially on my day off when I choose to support a local restaurant and try something new. Unfortunately, my experience at Otro Cafe was extremely disappointing, not because of the food, but because of how customers are treated. We checked in at 12:23 PM and were quoted a 30 minute wait. We were given a buzzer and waited in our car directly in front of the restaurant. After 50 minutes with no notification, I went inside around 1:15 PM to check. I was told it was "not our turn yet." After confirming we had already been waiting close to an hour, we noticed our name had already been crossed off the waiting list. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, the staff told us to "just wait" and that we would be next. We patiently waited another 20 minutes ,only to watch multiple parties get seated ahead of us again. When I approached the host a second time, we were finally seated at 1:40 PM over an hour after check-in and the interaction felt dismissive and unfriendly. Delays can happen. Systems can fail. But professionalism is shown in how a mistake is handled. There was no apology, no ownership, no effort to correct the situation. Instead, the issue was subtly shifted onto us because the buzzer "didn't ring," as if that was somehow the customer's responsibility. Respecting customers means respecting their time. What should have been a simple 30 minute wait turned into over an hour and a half of confusion, frustration, and being overlooked. That is not acceptable service. I left feeling that my time simply did not matter. Still, I'm grateful for every experience , even the disappointing ones , because they remind me where my energy and support truly belong.

    Heard amazing things about Otro for brunch, and honestly? The hype is real. The classic Mexican breakfast with chorizo, eggs, and beans had me questioning why I ever cook at home. Guac and salsa for the table? Also v yum. They make a mean espresso martini (dangerously smooth at 11am) and have a solid beer selection if you want to pretend it's not still brunch. But the real star? The honey lavender latte. Truly the gentlest, most soothing hug in beverage form. I'd wait in line again just for that. Speaking of waits--Saturday with a party of five was surprisingly chill, maybe 10 minutes max. Only downside: you still have to hop in a separate line to order those specialty coffees even when seated. No biggie, but why does it take so long? Are they picking the lavender fresh from a secret rooftop garden? At least the pastries looked worth the delay. Overall: great food, great drinks, slightly chaotic coffee logistics. Would 100% return and immediately order that honey lavender latte again.

    Nortico
    Madeleine L.

    Good spot for breakfast or lunch, but it fills up quickly, especially on weekends. Solid service and good food. I had the Nortico. The watermelon that came with it was super flavorful and the salmon and eggs were good too. The only negative was the bread was tough, even with a steak knife.

    i've been dying to try this spot and to be honest, i was underwhelmed but will definitely give it another chance. there wasn't a coffee menu so i had 0 idea what any of the specialty coffees were and the cashier wasn't very helpful. so i just got a caramel latte and the only gluten free treat available (which was yummy!) but all of the other pastries looked delish! my brother ordered a breakfast burrito which he enjoyed and one of the sticky buns but our cashier forgot to give it to us. when we asked for it, they had run out & then she didn't believe that we purchased it. she couldn't track down our order (even though it was a few orders back) but finally agreed to give us a different pastry. it was odd but was fine. it was absolutely packed but looked like cozy seating!

    This place came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint!! I'm based in Chicago so have pretty high food standards but wow their flapjacks were way above average. Thank you to the host for finding me solo seating so swiftly despite it being a packed Sunday brunch rush. The vibe overall was great and I will absolutely be coming back to try more of their menu items!

    Went there with some friends and the place was very busy. Service was good and the food was good. They only have 3 restrooms overall, and that doesn't seem to be enough for as big and busy of a restaurant. I had to wait for too long to go to the restrooms (both front and back had lines), and this is why I didn't give it 5 stars. The ambience is casual and family friendly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    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.
