Ladera Taverna Y Cocina

Fresh, delicious food and wonderful spicy margarita! The patio is heavenly. Lit up with cozy lights. It took forever for chips/salsa and my margarita to arrive once ordered but we weren’t in a rush and didn’t mind. But otherwise it’s definitely worth going. I called 25 minutes out and was out on the wait list. Seated the minute we arrived! I had the baja enchiladas and they were stuffed with seafood. My friend had 3 tacos and they looked super yummy!

Have been here a few times and always had a great experience. Most recently we were here over the weekend. Our server this weekend was really friendly and our food and drinks came quickly. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, which come one green and one red sauce but you can do both the same if you prefer. The table also ordered posole, chili relleno, and a second order of chicken enchiladas. We also started with chips, salsa, and guac. The cocktails and wine selections were also tasty.

Awesome little hidden place up near sunny slope. Gotta check em out. The vibes are on point here!! Genuine concepts did great with this place. Food was delicious and their drink menu is fun. Great variety Happening. Their parking is weird though, there is some street parking and a parking lot a little ways away. Like you pass another parking lot and a little empty lot before you get to it.

The ambience, the food and the service was excellent!! I had the crab and shrimp enchiladas and they were phenomenal. The crab was so flavorful and the perfect amount. The ambience with live music, nice decor and a fireplace as the centerpiece was perfect. We waited to sit next to the fire and it was well worth it. It was a little chilly but the fire made it the right temperature. There were heaters too that would of made any other outdoor seating comfortable. The waiter was extremely friendly and was the one who recommended the enchiladas. This was a perfect 5 that should be a 10.

I had the pleasure of wandering into this establishment after a nice hike at north mountain. My hiking mates and I craved Mexican food to curve our post-hiker appetite. I was most certainly not disappointed. The food came out quick and hot. The aesthetics of this place is bright and authentic. The patio leading into the entrance of Ladera is great for Arizona winters. Hannah, our server, navigated us through the menu with ease and accuracy.
