Visited this new location for lunch and it did not disappoint! Nice and clean, the staff were very attentive and the food was great! We were seated right away and there was plenty of space in the restaurant for all party sizes, big and small. Lunch combos were a great price – I got a chicken enchilada, a chicken taco (my favorite on the plate) plus rice and beans for $10.99. The free chips and fresh salsa were great to munch on while we decided on our order. Salsa wasn’t too spicy but was full of flavor. My husband really enjoyed his chicken chimichanga as well. Overall, I’d come back!

We just celebrated my dad’s 80th birthday at this location. The manager Francisco and our servers Carlos and Arlena were amazing! They were very attentive to our large party. The food was delicious and the margaritas were on point. We brought our own cake in, and they made sure we had plates and

We wanted to try this location for a while. We visited in the afternoon, off-peak hours. We were seated in no time, served with chips and water. The food was delicious and so was the drink, good. Very neat and clean! I have been to other locations, wanted to try this place before I bring larger group. I will be back for sure, and with my family. The team – hostess, server, bartender were very prompt and offered excellent service. Pretty good for a newly opened restaurant!

Chayse is one of the best waiters my husband and I have ever seen. He was upbeat and really quick with filling guest requests. It felt like we were being waited on by someone trained at Gallaghers Steakhouse in NYC. Top notch! And the food was good too.

I have been eating at Woody Macayo’s Mexico Food Restaurant on Central Ave. in Phoenix, AZ since the early 1960’s. It was my Dad’s favorite restaurant. When we did construction projects in downtown Phoenix, we would lunch there multiple times a week. When that location closed, we switched to Dobson Rd and the Superstition Freeway. This was my first time at this location in Chandler, Arizona.

First experience at this new Macayos! Went for Happy Hour which is only in the large lounge and bar area. Our server was also a bartender and suggested a handshaken Patron Margarita vs the Happy Hour house Margarita. It was excellent and we only needed one. The draft beers were crispy cold and we shared an enchilada style chicken burro which was also excellent! This facility is now on our rotation!

We came in on the perfect day, apparently their anniversary and had 77 cent Margaritas. Can’t go wrong with those. Food was very tasty, I love Sonoran style Mexican food!

Ugh. I said I’d never go back to Macayos after our experience in Tempe, but they opened this one a mile from our house so we “had” to go try it. There was a wait, which was fine. But the sun was setting and shining right into the windows where you wait, they have no blinds. It also made it very hot and uncomfortable to wait there. It took a while after being seated to be greeted and have a drink order taken. They were ending the dinner rush and we tried to be patient, but it was obvious our server needed help. Our drinks came out and then someone else took over to help us. We had 2 baskets of chips and both weren’t cooked/fried properly, they were brought out half cooked and still very oily. The food we ordered was good.

I used to go to the Macayo’s in Tucson. They offered green chili enchilada sauce, this one didn’t. We had a party of 7 people, the waiter had other tables as well and he did a fantastic job keeping up . He was friendly and pleasant.
