A: Sadly, another disappointing addition to the Cave Creek dining scene. Man, we really (as in desperately, really really desperately) need something decent up here - but this ain't it. If any restaurant developers or entrepreneurs are reading this - a decent, independent restaurant with a good bar and wine list would be mobbed! I think Tatum Ranch alone has 10k residents with basically nowhere to eat. We've been here 3 times, all mediocre at best. Our last visit kind of sealed the deal on us never returning. Outside patio area is nice, especially the booths! Great during nice evenings. Nonstop chips. They have really trained their servers and wait staff very well how to serve and cater to the customers. My only (weird) complaint really is that there isn't much "personality" amongst the employees/servers - it's obviously a very well-honed serving system that they have trained their people on, but it lacks authenticity a bit. It's not really a complaint, but it just feels a bit off I guess. The food is pretty gross. My husband ordered the pollo fundido and the chicken MUST HAVE been frozen chicken. I could be wrong, but it tasted and looked just like that weird frozen, fake defrosted chicken color and tasted just like weird frozen defrosted chicken with the fake grill lines. It was literally inedible and gag-worthy. For a Mexican restaurant where pollo is front and center in most dishes, this is inexcusable. I am SO SO SO sad that we don't have another new restaurant to frequent. I will stick with Amaro next door that is so underrated that it's shocking. I love that place.

Q: negative

A: Clearly I won't go again. Last week I was there with my family. The young waitress dropped a piece of the beef short ribs on the holding tray, then she picked it up with her pink fingernails and put it back "onto" the dish trying to pretend nothing happened. Then she askes if it was okay. Well, this is not a proper way of treating customers. The food was dirty for sure. There was another more experienced waitress helping out later on, but the impression has been totally ruined.

Q: negative

A: Went on V-day weekend and was not impressed. We ordered a bunch of different dishes and said we wanted to share. They ended up serving our steak cut up into pieces and that was disappointing. The juices had run out and honestly tasted room temperature. The plates were not heated either and overall the food was not great. The steak taste a bit tough and the staff were always in a rush. I definitely won't be coming back and would rather spend my money at Mastro's steakhouse.

Q: negative

A:
like everyone else has said. this place is horrible. I think this is the place in the desert where records go to die, cus at these prices no ones ever gonna buy em again. Unless theyre suckers. I had heard that nothing had price tags on em and that it was for true record collectors so i went in knowing Id have to spend a lil xtra to get what I wanted but the prices are way out there. I picked up 3 45's for him to price me. I thought he'd look em up in a price guide or on an online auction site and ball park it. No. He looked at one and told me $100. I knew it was kinda hard to find so i was like eh maybe the other two he said he'd have to listen to em to price em but prolly $50-75. I wanted to gage his pricing so I found a LP i have at home I got for $12-15 "Get Ready Rocksteady" he had his son go online and look it up then tells me $250. I asked him how many were on the site. maybe he was lookin on Ebay. I was hoping there was 3 and you split the difference he told me just one. i still dont know where he got the price. When I first walked in he was very rude not nicely asking what I wanted and seemed like he didnt want any business trying to scare me off with "these records are pretty pricy" he told me nothing less than $15 but i didnt think he'd want $500+ for 3 45's and one LP. dont waste your time with this guy and his horrible shop
