    Had a weeknight dinner here. Got two grilled fish tacos and one shrimp. Both were phenomenal! The sauce and salsa were great additions as well.

    Surf & turf bowl and Cactus rice bowl
    Sapna H.

    The Beach House Tacos had been on my list for a long time, and I finally got to try it. The menu is quite extensive--tacos, burritos, nachos, rice bowls, and even hot dogs. My husband and I both went for rice bowls: he chose the Surf & Turf, and I ordered the Cactus Veggie Bowl. The portion sizes were on the smaller side, but they felt fair for the price. Nothing is overpriced like some of the more popular taco spots. Flavor-wise, the Surf & Turf was good but nothing extraordinary. I enjoyed my Cactus Veggie Bowl as well. The one downside for both of us was the excessive chipotle mayo--it overpowered the other flavors. We ordered the mango habanero salsa on the side, and that was definitely a highlight--really delicious. Overall, it's not a place I'd crave or go out of my way to revisit, but if you're in the area, it's worth a try. It's good value for money.

    Loaded Pork Quesadilla, Fried Fish Taco, and Cactus Taco

    They were very busy when I visited (line out to the side walk) but it went quite fast and after I ordered my food was out in about 10 minutes! I got the fish taco, cactus taco, and loaded pork quesadilla. Fish taco was very fresh (not fishy at all!) and was melt in your mouth tender. The cactus taco was incredible, so fresh tasting and perfectly seasoned I would say it's a must try! the pork quesadilla was tender, cheesy, and full of flavor. I also got the desert pop slush to drink and it was refreshing and a great pairing to the food. I ate so much food but didn't feel gross and bloated so I know it was good quality stuff! The outdoor seating and decor was great and really fit well with the food. Come check this place out!

    I just got back from California yesterday for a quick trip where I had some delicious So Cal taco shop food that I enjoyed. This fun CA inspired beach shack was something I would expect to see at the beach, but there it is on my way to Arcadia :) This spot was solid. $2.50 for a taco, yes please. I happened to place my order online and then went to pick it up. This was my first time trying this restaurant and it was great that I pre-ordered. It was pretty busy when I arrived at 1pm on a Saturday. The prices are great, I had a fish taco, cheese & veggie quesadilla, and a bean & cheese burrito for $15 something. The food was good. I like how it's very casual and unassuming. I took no issue with the items I tried, and I really liked the green and volcano salsa. Good flavor! Next time I'm in the area I would definitely come back and try other items. They have outdoor seating so this is a nice weather spot. If there's any other seating I didn't see it.

    Grilled fish taco, carne asada and fried fish taco
    Mehruba A.

    Came around 6pm. Got lucky finding a spot in the lot and a bench to sit at. Really lucky because my friend got there first and waited about 15 minutes before getting to the front and ordering for us. Food came out fairly quickly, they brought it to us at the bench we were at. The grilled fish taco and carne asada were amazing. Next time I do, I would probably not ask for cheese because its just not my vibe but good flavor in each bite. Youre able to get a side of green salsa which definitely adds to the flavor. Would like to try the shrimp taco next . My friend got the shrimp quesadilla fully loaded which was really flavorful! Would get that next time as well. Weather was also perfect out. Great night to eat out.

    The Beach House doesn't have ocean views, but it does have food that tastes like a vacation! Prices won't break the bank. we ordered Fish Tacos (Fried to perfection) Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Carne Asada Burrito was surprisingly balanced with every bite. The Fish Bowl was flavorful, fresh, and light enough to pretend I was making healthy choices.nThe service is lightning fast - and considering how long the lines can get, the staff handles it all like seasoned pros. Bottom line - Delicious food. Affordable prices. Speedy service. Total must-try.

    Shredded beef nachos
    Teena M.

    So my husband has been wanting to try this place for over 3 years and we finally made it today! This little taco spot is all the rage. The locals visit here and the lines are long. My husband had the grilled fish burrito. The fish was delish, the beans were fire, and loved the slaw guacamole and hot sauce. I tried loaded nachos with green chili shredded beef. The beef had great flavor and the ooey gooey nacho cheese sauce was good. I will definitely get tacos or a burrito next time as I caught myself drooling over my husband's burrito and the people next to us tacos. We sat outside as that's the only downside in the summer- no indoor seating. The misters were helpful to keeping us cool as was the watermelon green apple slushy known as trick or treat slushy. Please try this place when you are in the area. It really is worth the time

    Overall the food here is good, sizes are not as big as other places that offer similar items but I did find the flavors really good and worth it. The shrimp was seasoned and grilled to perfection and there were a good amount in the bowl. The salsas were not spicy in my opinion but they did have a nice kick. I do want to add that I love spicy food so if you don't normally eat spicy then you will find the volcano hot. The red is mild and the green is medium. They had good flavors. The staff is super friendly and they have a good amount of parking and seating. It is giving beach vibes for sure but instead of seagulls wanting your food you will find pigeons lol but no worries they leave you alone. They do have a restroom, I didn't really get to see it but I like that it is there if you need it. This is a cute little spot with good food and good people. Is it Mexican no, it's a bit of a tex mex Baja Cali style mix. We really enjoyed the flavors and the vibes.

    My daughter and I were in central Phoenix and craving tacos. We happened to be driving by and saw The Beach House. We made a quick stop. What a cute, funky place. It reminds me of a California beach shack, a mixture of hippie meats surfer. I Loved the 1960's Volkswagen out front. You order at the counter and then eat at picnic tables on the patio. We ordered the Baja tacos, I got the 3 shrimp tacos and my daughter got the 3 fish tacos. We also ordered chips and guacamole. 3 tacos are $7, great deal! Food came out fast and tacos were delicious!!! Next time we would try the fish tacos grilled instead of fried. Also they never asked if we wanted flour or corn tortillas, maybe I was supposed to specify? Either way they were great! Their motto is "Come Hungry, Leave Happy," and we sure did!

    Burritos
    Arlene L.

    Always drive by this place but first time trying! Super fun vibe, made me feel like we were by the beach. All outdoor seating which is great on cool days, I imagine less great in the summer. Super long wait for lunch on a Saturday. Burritos were stuffed and well wrapped and so tasty! Sauces and salsas were a highlight. Nachos and frozen lemonade drinks were delish as well.

    This is one of the best taco places I've been to in the country. Amazing tacos. Wonderful flavor, especially the mango shrimp tacos. There's a nice blend of juicy fruity flavor with the deep seafood taste all topped with a fresh pico de gallo. And then all their options are well-priced, especially in a world where now $5 tacos are the norm.

    Ask the Community - The Beach House

    Is this any good for groups?

    It's got a walk up 🌬️ e and a bunch of picnic tables. Depends on how many in your group I would suppose.

    How long are wait times?

    It only took about 6-7 minutes as food is made fresh there. If it's busy it would be longer.

    Is the rice made with chicken stock or vegetable broth?

    Is the cabbage slaw mayo or vinegar based?

    How far in advance do you order online for lunch?

    As far in advance as you want to. It does get busy between 11-1 but if you're 30 minutes away order when you're about 10 minutes out of that makes sense.

    Is it byob?

    I actually asked the owner! It used to byob but now they've been told they have to complete fence off their restaurant in order to keep it byob. Therefore, as for now, it's not byob any more. 😔

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    I believe so although I cannot recall seeing any.

    Are the tortilla chips non-GMO?

    I don't know the answer to that one

    Do they sell gift cards?

    Yes they sell gift cards now.

    Casa Corazon Restaurant - Steak Mexicano

    Casa Corazon Restaurant

    (935 reviews)

    I'm so glad we finally went to try Casa Corazon. We met with a friend visiting from out of town…read moreduring lunch, and everyone absolutely loved it. 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.

    We found this place on Phoenix eater so we decided to try something new, so we popped in for some…read moredrinks and snacks. We stopped in about five for happy hour. The restaurant has a small bar of three seats to enjoy some drinks.. initially we were just going to have margaritas for six dollars during happy hour but decided to have guacamole as well for $10 on happy hour. Guacamole was excellent and came with a bean dip. To complement, our guacamole and chips we checked out the salsa bar. The salsa bar has over six choices of salsa. 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. The architecture inside is very interesting due to the roof structure.

    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.
