text: On our way out of the Scottsdale area and back to the airport to leave AZ goodbye sun and warmth we stopped at the Spotted Donkey Cantina as my friend and her family told us it was and is one of their favorite spotsnnIt would be our second day in a row eating Mexican food but I was not upset about that I know there is good Mexican in AZ and soaking up as much of that as possible was never going to be a bad thingnnWe started our meal out with the Donkey Nachos short is Regular is Our server suggested the short We are happy he did as this dish was still quite large These are not your typical nachos They definitely are doing something different with this dish La casa fried corn tortilla rounds pulled pork serrano chile roasted tomatoes tomatillo salsa cheddar and monterey jack cheeses queso fresco black beans and mexican cruema That is a mouthful and this dish was a mouthfulnnEnded up doing some more sharing for this meal too That is fine by me as I can certainly eat my fair share and always nice to cut back on the portions For our main we had the Pollo en Mole Poblano Oven roasted chicken breast roasted plantains chef Esteban signature mole sauce spanish rice with corn or flour tortillas Another very reasonable portion The chicken was a bit on the dry side but the mole was very good It certainly helped as the dish was not lacking in mole at all It needed itnnAll and all a nice place to occupy yourself for a couple of hours We were able to sit on the patio During this time of year it is just silly to sit inside when the weather is just about perfect here
