    Cottonwood, AZ. I promised you the proof!
    Brooke B.

    So my last trip to Sonic was in Cottonwood, Arizona. As a southerner I am quite keen on a Dr Pepper with sweet cream. While waiting for this delightful concoction, a young cowboy on a paint horse walked up the driveway and parked himself behind me in a Sonic stall. I can't make this stuff up and this is what I love about the American West. Take a look at the picture - the proof is in the pudding!

    Have tried Sonic's before and was never satisfied. This time had to go again since my wife was badly hungry and there was literally no other food options nearby during our day trip that day. Not very reasonable priced for the quality of food they give. Ordered 2 burgers and both were average. There was only one serving guy who was delivering food to cars and hence there was significant delay after I placed my order. Average and overpriced food. Very fast foody taste and will not appeal anyone even if you go here for a change.

    A Skimpy Blast that's not even filled up.

    The inside dining area is always dirty, tables are never wiped down, seats dirty, floors not clean, windows/doors are filthy, smudge marks and never clear to look through. Take a towel & glass cleaner to them already. Makes you wonder what the back where the food is prepped looks like. Management is never visible. The dining room should be clean and welcoming for customers not gross looking. Stop skimping on filling up Sonic Blasts to the top, especially when a customer spends $17 on 2 larges. Next time will have you redo them. People seem to talk more than paying attention to the order they are preparing for the customer. Management needs to step up some please.

    The mold I didn't order with my chili cheese dog.

But since the change in ownership, the quality, service, and value have completely fallen off a cliff. Tonight was the absolute last straw. We always call ahead to ask if our favorite server, Espy, is working, because the customer service otherwise has become atrocious. Espy is fantastic and the only reason we still try to come here. Tonight, we called and asked if Espy was working, and the person on the phone said yes. We asked if she'd be there until close, and the manager, Jeff, responded with, "I hope not." We pulled up to the restaurant less than five minutes later and asked for her section, only for Jeff to tell us he had already cut her for the night, knowing full well we had just called and were coming specifically for her. Jeff the manager was extremely rude, unprofessional, and dismissive. We walked right out and took our business elsewhere tonight, and we feel terrible for Espy because she is genuinely amazing and deserves better. This interaction is just the final nail in the coffin after watching this restaurant go downhill: Zero Customer Support: We actually reached out directly through the customer service link on the Macayo's website back in July to share these exact concerns and issues, hoping someone cared. They never even acknowledged or responded to our email. Shrinkflation & Portions: Portion sizes have drastically shrunk. Far less meat in the burritos, barely any beans and rice, and they nickel-and-dime you over chips and salsa. Stingy Takeout Policy: On multiple takeout orders, they hand you a huge bag of chips with a tiny 4-oz cup of salsa and claim "new management policy" prevents them from giving any more. Gutted Deals: They eliminated the loyalty points program, cut kids' meal deals from two per adult to one, scrapped the summer "Kids Eat Free" daily deal, and neutered Happy Hour. Refusing Advertised Coupons: Just last month, we brought a party of 14 people and management refused to honor the active 20% off Mi Coupon that is still advertised on their own website and app. Between Jeff's atrocious management, total lack of response from corporate, the drop in food quality, and the complete elimination of customer appreciation, there is zero reason left for us to support Macayo's. After 36 years, our family and our wallets are officially done.

We were pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary chips and salsa with our order. Many restaurants charge for them or don't include them with carryout, so it was a small touch that definitely stood out. The cheese crisp was excellent--perfectly crisp with cheese melted to perfection. Easily one of the best cheese crisps I've had in a long time. I ordered the Red Corn Chicken Taquitos, and the red corn tortillas added so much extra flavor. There were 6 to the order which is very generous. The rice was also very good, and since I'm not a bean fan, I substituted double rice instead. Everything was fresh and satisfying. My husband ordered the Chicken Fajita Enchiladas with double rice and said they were terrific. Our daughter chose the Carne Asada Burros with rice and beans and commented on how flavorful and well-seasoned the meat was. All three of us agreed that we would happily order these meals again. The customer service was another highlight. Anaya took our phone order and was cheerful, pleasant, and helpful. I didn't catch the name of the gentleman who handed me our order, but he was welcoming and friendly as well. Great food and great service make it easy to see why Macayo's continues to be a local favorite

We got there only to be told that they only did takeout. Okay, time to pivot. We looked around the shopping center, and when our son-in-law spotted Macayo's, he said we should go there. He had dined in one of their other locations some years back and had liked the food. So...Macayo's it is. We got there right after they opened for dinner (shortly after 4 p.m.) and were seated immediately. At first, we said we would take a booth, but realized that a large table would be better. Once we were seated and given menus, our server brought us chips and salsa. As I looked at the menu, I was very pleased to see that they had chile rellenos. Hand-dipped rellenos consist of: "Two Anaheim chiles filled with Jack cheese, battered & hand-dipped, topped with choice of fire-roasted Tomatillo or zesty relleno sauce, served with rice & refried beans". At the server's suggestion I put green sauce on one and red sauce on the other. These rellenos were quite good---tasty and filling My husband ordered the "Sonoran Enchilada Trio" which consists of: "Shredded beef enchilada topped with fire-roasted Tomatillo sauce, shredded chicken enchilada topped with our famous Baja sauce, mixed cheese enchilada topped with red enchilada sauce served with rice and black beans." Quite filling and very tasty. As for our grandsons and their Dad, one grandson got the "Seasonal fish tacos" which consist of "Two tacos served on warm corn tortillas with grilled or lightly battered fish topped with Pico de Gallo & shredded cabbage tossed in chipotle crema". These tacos had a generous amount of filling, and my grandson really liked them. Our second grandson and his Dad both had the chicken enchiladas, which were served with rice and refried beans. Our third grandson got a burrito (can't remember which kind), which he really liked. The salsa did have some kick, but it was rather watery. That didn't stop us from eating it. Service was great, and the ambiance says "Mexican restaurant" very clearly. All in all, we were glad we gave it a try.
