    My husband and I were in Phoenix for work and asked the concierge for their favorite Mexican restaurant and they both said The Mexicano! Great service and so many options on the menu, the house margarita was outstanding. If we’re lucky enough to come back The Mexicano is where we will dine.

    Server was outstanding. Food was very good. Chips and salsa, fajitas and enchiladas all very good. Loved the atmosphere. We were there at 2:30 so quiet, which is what we wanted. Really clean and comfortable.

    Ordered a HOT carne asada burrito and and it came out cold not once but four times. When I told them they actually stuck their finger in it to be sure. Very disappointed. Ended up not eating at all.

    Our food came out cold I had to send it back. I wish the dancers were dancing all over not just one section but we had a pretty good night out overall. It seemed like the table in front of us had problems with there food being cold too so maybe they just hired a new chef?

    Absolutely spectacular!! Our waitress was on point, we never needed for anything. Great entertainment; from the dj to the dancers. The drinks and food were the best we experienced in Scottsdale.
