Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in Central Scottsdale

Thank you for having us. The food was amazing. Can’t wait to come back 😊

My wife and I had brunch at Bacanora, and it was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and genuine. The food? Simply outstanding. My wife enjoyed a hearty machaca burrito, packed with savory, slow-cooked goodness. I had their birria dish, served stew-style—rich, tender, and exploding with deep, comforting flavors. We paired it with a refreshing Mexican Coke, the perfect complement to such a bold meal. Every bite reflected the passion and care that goes into Bacanora’s kitchen—authentic, vibrant, and unforgettable. We love coming back whenever we can get a reservation, and Bacanora always delivers. We left happy, satisfied, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

We were warmly greeted by the hostess, seated right away for our reservation. Our waitress Alyssa was FANTASTIC!!! Here recommendations were spot on from the guacamole with pomegranate seeds to the grilled Mexican wedge salad , vegetarian tacos, steak burro and taco and Madre, the food was amazing, the drinks were also fantastic and we finished off with the churro donuts. I give this place 5 stars , we give Alyssa 10 stars.

We had a reservation and was seated promptly upon arrival. Staff was friendly, service was great and food was excellent. We had 5 in our party and everyone enjoyed their meal Chips are not included with the meal so we didn't fill up on chips which made us enjoy our meal even more1

This was our first time clubbing and I can say this won’t be our last time
