One of the gems of Old Town Scottsdale! Fun vibes and amazing food and drinks. They've got a great happy hour and perfect location. Definitely recommend!
Amazing Vegan Plaintain Tacos (remove cheese, sub black beans) and margaritas are the best in the area! Make sure to ask for John Diego! He’s the best there!
Stopped for dinner during the week. The selection of custom margaritas was wide and the ones we tried were excellent. The same is true for the food. Fresh and interesting ingredients, friendly staff and great environment!

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods.
After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one.
We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.)
Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens.
She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill.
Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.
A pretty good place unique Mexican fare. Definitely nothing similar to the plethora of other traditional Mexican restaurants you’ll find in this area. The Brussel sprout nachos is our favorite order when we come here! Lots of good options for different diets too. Always trying different drinks here, place is cute & staff is friendly & attentive for a place that gets pretty packed sometimes
Food is great and the prices are good, but the service is fantastic. Our food was out within 5 minutes of order (two taco bowls and 3 tacos). We were impressed by the quality of the food and the speed! We highly recommend the taco bowls with coconut rice and the corn queso with chips.
This place was so amazing, the vibes were awesome. Flet like a college/ young professional setting. The food was great, a lot of good flavors and the drinks were amazing too.
Trust me, I will be back (Arnold voice)
Food was good, $4 for a tiny thing of guacamole that ended up being pretty bland was a little laughable. But over all it was alright. They had fans that put out mist that was refreshing.
Good area for a restaurant, you can walk around after! Food was delicious. Loved the Brussels sprout nachos!! Aesthetic decor. Quick service.
Great patio and happy hour. Food is okay. The nachos were our fav. The skinny marg was still too sweet.
Cool mexican joint in the heart of Oldtown. As it was my first time in Arizona, we found this place just by roaming around. We went on a Friday evening and even though the wait time was an hour, we decided to check it out as it was vibin'. You have the option for the bar or can sit outside in the patio which we did. We ordered margaritas, tacos and brussel sprout nachos. The nachos were interesting but it worked and tasted good!
Our server wasn't the most pleasant which is the only reason it doesn't get a 5 star. Even so, I would recommend this place to others.
Food was delicious
Miyra was efficient and recommended her favorites. Fast service and easy parking at 4 pm for Happy Hour.
