text: Los Sombreros downtown Scottsdale is one of my husbands favorite restaurants but due to its location and small parking lot it was not one of our frequent dining destinations Now that a location opened up down the street from us in North Scottsdale we are so happy We came here opening weekend and were surprised to find it was not packed There were a few diners outside enjoying the lovely patio and a smattering of folks inside The actual inside has tons of room a front dining area that leads into the bar a side dining area and a back dining area We originally wanted to sit outside but after finding it a bit chilly we decided to move inside We sat at a nice booth that faced the bar and open kitchen This locations design choices seem drastically different from the Downtown location more of a family friendlyMexican chain feeling This is not bad in anyway just different It is still very nicely decorated and I loved the tables and large glass mirrors nnTo start I ordered the margarita de coco a coconut margarita and my husband ordered La Damiana a margarita with Damiana liquer Since it was opening weekend it took a long time for our drinks to arrive My husband was not too impressed with his drink but he wanted to try something new so that is on him I knew perfectly well how a coconut margarita should taste and mine was not very coconutty The pineapple juice really overpowered the drink It was good but not what I was expecting After our drinks arrived complimentary chips and salsa arrived They were good to munch on since we were hungry and could not wait for our meals to arrivennHalfway through our drinks and we are slow drinkers our meals finally arrived I ordered the Puerco en Chipotle because that is my favorite slow cooked pork in a chipotle sauce with a sprinkling of cheese on top Simple yet ohso delicious Normally my husband and I would order this and split but we decided to get our own dishes that night Good thing we did because the portions were much smaller than the portions served up at the downtown Los Sombreros location It was still delicious My husband ordered the Camarones Al Tequila which are shrimps in a chipotle cream sauce and some bacon It was uber yummy My husband really enjoyed his meal nnOverall our food was fantastic and tasted the same as the Downtown location Tastewise it met our expectations The drinks and service could use some improvement but it was opening weekend Our server was extremely nice and constantly smiling She even apologized for the slowness and gave us a coupon to use for our next visit It was a very nice touch and we will definitely be back
