text: I was up in N Scottsdale today which is quite a trek from the far SE valley however I had to run an errand and always look forward to having an excuse to get out of Gilbert I have dined at the San Tan Village location which is fairly new and I was not overly impressed but I really enjoyed frequenting this location when I lived and worked in this area from nnAnyway someone else mentioned that the patio is now enclosed which I did not notice We were escorted to a booth in the back of the restaurant near the bar area I could not help but notice the five BMWs and three Escalades lined up in the parking lotToto I guess we are not in Kansas anymore Not that the SE valley is the hood but it is certainly a different demographic So I digressI do like the atmosphere at this Arriba as it feels more festive and somewhat livelier than similar restaurants And I LOVE the picture menu and the chipssalsasbean dip seriously rocksnnAs I have stated in many of my previous reviews I am extremely price conscious kindof naziish since my disposable income has been reduced by about in the last year So I immediately notice that the prices are really HIGH for your run of the mill mexican fare Since it is Sunday there are no lunch specials and almost everything with the exception of appetizers is at least or more I opt for the Chicken Tostada see pics with rice and charro beans At it is a fair price and was surprisingly really tasty and filling My dining companion is more in the mood for a snack so he orders the Mini Beef Chimis with jalepeno I think cream cheese and sour cream Here is where I really need to rant THEY CHARGED AN EXTRA FOR A TINY SCOOP OF SOUR CREAM WTH Yes I know that I sound like a cheap a however the waiter asked if he wanted sour cream and completely made it sound like it was included in the price SCAM It came right off his tip I am sorry to say nnIts not like I am going to miss it is just the basic principle that some restaurants are trying to make an extra buckit did not change the fact that I enjoyed my meal but I will always remember Arriba for being so freakin cheap And now I am having a flashback to another dining experience at the San Tan location where I was charged for a double margarita Anyway I am looking forward to the day when price will not be such an issue but for the time being I will continue to really dislike getting ripped off
