This restaurant is in a great location in Old Town to walk in or drive from local businesses. The…read morerestaurant has a casual vibe and it's a fun place, it can get noisy, but I caught it at the right time. Anyway, when you're craving good tacos, Diego Pops is the place! They have a selection of burritos, ceviche, flautas and salads, but tacos are a thing here. I decided on a shrimp taco and a green chili chicken taco. Lunch came with a six piece sauce pack, so you can customize the tacos to your liking. I'd been thinking of Mexican food and these tacos were good! I had a long drive back to the hotel, or would have indulged in one of those icy cold and delicious looking drinks, like the Diego Margarita or Fuego Fresa. The servers are friendly, prices are reasonable and this restaurant is popular with tourists and locals. The air conditioning is perfect for getting out of the heat and the food and ambiance make it even better! They also have patio dining for cooler nights. On my next visit, I'll return to Old Town, one of the best areas in Phoenix. It offers great restaurants like Diego Pops--it's on my "must come back and try a margarita" list.

I've been coming to Diego Pops for years, and I'm honestly surprised I've never written a review…read more It's such a fun spot right in the heart of Old Town close to the mall. It has a lively atmosphere that's great for meeting up with friends. Servers are always friendly and food comes out FAST! One of the best things about Diego Pops is their happy hour, which runs every day from 3-6 pm. I also just found out they do $3 tacos all day on Mondays... what a steal! The food is always delicious. My go-to order is the braised green chili chicken taco and the charred steak tacos. They also have frozen margaritas, and I'm already planning my next visit because I HAVEEE to try the blue raspberry flavor. Reliable place to meet up with friends, enjoy good food/drinks without breaking the bank!

Then the enchiladas were covered with an amazing verde sauce. The carne asada was so tender that it melted in my mouth! My favorite was the churro ice cream sandwich!

Literally can't wait to come back and try more!

Decided to get the margarita flight with three different flavors, strawberry mango and classic very good. The guacamole was probably the star of the night for app. They were all very good. I chose the three tacos which were really filling and had really good flavor ! For dessert, I had the churros which were filled with caramel inside unfortunately, they did not have ice cream, but they were still good without it. They also had a really good happy hour past nine and ambience was great. They had good Latin music, which I'm excited to come back for.

When we used to live in Scottsdale we'd frequent Julio's Too at least three or four times a month…read more The food was so tasty and affordable and the atmosphere so casual. It was such a cool place to hang out. Fast forward to 15 years later, it's just not the same. Obviously prices went up and that's totally understandable. However, their food just didn't taste how it used to. Salsa was on the bland side, my pollo magnifico was greasy and soggy, it used to be so good, now it's just sad. One thing that did stay the same was the prompt friendly service. Order at the counter, take a seat and they bring you your food. Parking was a little tricky during lunch time, just an fyi. Maybe on my next trip to Scottsdale, I'll give them another shot.

My total came to $13.50 and a little over $15 for my meal. Pretty good bargain. Staff are always helpful here and nice. I waited for my food on the first floor and couldn't help but notice how loud the music is. They were playing a lot of tunes I like and I wanted to get up and dance, but gosh it was loud. Once I collected all my food, I went upstairs and sat outside. I love to sit up here and get a piece of the outdoors and some quiet too. It also is right parallel to the main drag so it makes for good people watching. I love this fast casual place and will keep coming back as long as they are in business. Note, also they are open late until 3am! Wow!

The avocado and flavor of shrimp pairs so well and they provide lemon and lime complimentary.

Not a fan of cleaning off my own table and it wasn't even busy.

The tacos were amazingly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fries were well seasoned, and I also enjoyed the stuffed churros for dessert. My only suggestion would be to offer three tacos instead of two for the price, as without the fries the meal is not filling at all. Mango margarita was nice and spicy but tasted a little watered down. My friend ordered the Grande sized watermelon margarita (as pictured) and I'd definitely recommend grande size if you like stronger cocktails. Service was quick and friendly, but the atmosphere was underwhelming. For a Friday night in Old Town, I expected a much livelier crowd. I'd come back for the tacos, but for now it's a 3/5 for me.

The fire dancers put on an incredible show and made the whole experience even more memorable. Between the food, atmosphere, and entertainment, this place is absolutely worth a visit!

A friend and I recently came here for a birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint!…read more After looking over the menu, we ordered the truffle quesadilla and the crispy calamari to start off with. The calamari was cooked to perfection, not too tough, with a nice crisp to it, with a subtle hint of spice. The quesadilla was fine, not sure if the flavors worked well together for my taste buds. For our main entrees, we ordered the seared scallops and the sea bass tacos which were highly recommended to us. The scallops were melt in your mouth tender and well-seasoned. The sea bass tacos were enjoyable, not fishy at all. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered a strawberry tres leches to share alongside the complimentary birthday dessert. The tres leches was enjoyable, not too sweet but not quite like a typical tres leches that is usually drenched. Overall, service was friendly and attentive, with the food arriving in a timely manner. At no point during our time here did we feel rushed or ignored. The atmosphere was quite lively, especially once the fire show started. This is a great spot to come more so for the younger crowd for a date night, a night out with some friends, or to celebrate an occasion.

If you plan on going in the evening, consider making a reservation if you want to play safe, especially on a Friday or weekend night. Overall, would try again.

Friends had been to the Montauk before and invited us to meet them for a weekend lunch…read more I made a reservation, so we could be sure to sit inside, since it is already well over 100 degrees outside. The six of us were seated across from the bar, and it was HOT . I started sweating and needed to use the menus as a fan and drink water to try and cool off. The restaurant had already been open for almost 2 hours, so I am not sure why it was so hot inside (others in our party were hot too, so I wasn't just me). Positives are the restaurant's beach decor and the hamburgers. Several people in our party ordered burgers, and they were cooked to perfection and the fries were really good! Negatives are very few seafood menu options and the fish tacos were terrible. They were drowning in a mayonnaise based slaw. The corn tortillas were really fresh and tasty, but when I bit into my taco I could mostly only taste mayonnaise and the pickled onions. Our friends even made an unsolicited comment that my tacos did not look good. Luckily, I selected fries as my side, because they were the best thing on my plate. With a name like Montauk, and the beach decor, I expected more fresh seafood options on the menu. More than half the menu was not seafood (Mediterranean platter, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, brussels sprouts, salads, etc.). Unfortunately, Montauk does not live up to the hype.
