text: Even though this place is a good minute drive from downtown Scottsdale it is well worth it once you get there My wife and I dined there last year while in town for a wedding at the nearby Boulders resort Excellent btw After one trip to Spotted Donkey we were already planning our next trip back to Scottsdale just to go back Well the golf and spa were other factors but I will travel for good food So our next trip was about a month ago and our two visits did not disappointnnBe sure to try the guacamole Although it is it is really good HINT order it without one of the ingredients like onions and they will make a fresh batch The second time we went we forgot to order it without onions and it did not taste as good My favorite dish is the pork tenderloin which is served over a bed of mac and cheeese and green chiles It is delicious and large enough for two meals nnEven if you think it is too far to drive for dinner the beautiful town of Carefree will give you that Arizona experience you know you want and get you away from the urban feel of Scottsdale
