Problem: I was here over a year ago and forgot to write a review. All I remember is my card declining and the cashier said not to worry about it. That's awesome customer service!

Problem: I only gave it 2* because the food and pastries actually taste good. I would have given it 1* for product availability and service. Here's our experience: a bit before 2pm we tried to get some croissants. They were out of both plain and chocolate croissants. Then, we thought we should get some real food and tried to get some omelettes. Guess what? They were "out of omelettes". But the worst thing came when my husband ordered a crepe without whipped cream. He really hates that stuff so he mentioned it twice. He was offered a crepe with whipped cream, but when the crepe preparer saw his face, she realized what the problem was. So, IN FRONT OF US, she took the whipped cream from the crepe WITH HER HAND (gloved, thank God!) and rhetorically asked "Is it ok?" My huband said "no" so she took the plate, wiped a bit more of whipped cream and added some sugar on top, then gave it to him. In the mean time, I'm getting us some coffee and tea. I asked for honey, and, you guessed, they were out. I asked them to make the coffee less hot; it was stil hot. The manager was nice, apologized for everything and found some honey for me. We are still very disappointed!

Problem: Tradiciones fires on all cylinders like a Speedy Gonzales hot rod and I'm lovin it. I am a sucker for strolling mariachis, mamacita servers in red frilly dresses, festive digs and authentic and delicious Mexican food. Usually one or some of those elements are missing from your typical Mexican restaurant. It seems like not much to ask for, but I can't seem to get it all at once in Phoenix. They even somehow manage to pull it off without seeming cheezy or contrived. I'm not that surprised though. Tradiciones IS right next door to Phoenix Ranch Market, which was accurately described by Mr. K as Mexican Disneyland and is what Food City wishes it was. Since the entire strip is a renovated K-Mart from back in the day, Tradiciones has taken over the old Garden Center space, which you'll notice is now a cool plaza-style patio with space for a band. It's hard to choose between their inside or outside, but indoors is where you'll find the lunchtime buffet if you're in a hurry, and a high ceilinged dining room and more Mexican murals and colorful decoration you can imagine. I was here most recently for a business lunch with suits and formality and all that mess. Food highlights include the Bistec ala Mexicana simmering in a red caldo of veggies and sauteed beef strips (reminiscent of my mom's btw), the pollo margarita simmered in margarita mix with chipotle ranch and queso fresco was ok, but the clear winner was the seafood enchiladas (shrimp and veggies in a lobster cream sauce) - simpler than how they do at Barrio, but every bit as good. I really enjoyed the fresh lemonade. This place also passed my Mexican litmus test of beans, rice and tortillas (they have to taste at least as good as my grandma's). If a restaurant can't master those staples, then it's a hopeless effort. The servers here are quick and courteous, but speak Spanish for the most part. The food was about a solid 4 stars, but the service, decor, atmosphere and just plain real-ness elevate it further to 4.5 stars.

Problem: XS always have the hottest DJ's spinning, no doubt about that. It's WORTH the hype and worth the price of admission, well usually. I'd get that presale especially cuz guys are going to have to pay most of the time unless you roll through with a good amount of females. Came to see TIESTO and manufactured surperstars which was poppin! TIESTO ripped me in half and sew me back together ... def one of the best DJ's ever. Ever seeing him last year def made me want to see him again. C'MON! They always have a line to get in if you're rollin with a bunch of dudes. So def go with some females or inquire about bottle service weeks in advance. The crowd here is always good and drinks are not too bad. Def cant wait to be back
