First time visiting after spending the day walking around Old Town. Wanted to find a good Mexican spot that we didn't have to drive to and found Los Olivos - we are very happy we did! It's a little hidden but worth it! We came during lunch time on a weekend and there was no wait. The main dining room inside is nice and feels very authentic. The decor and architecture in different areas is very cool! Food wise, we tried the Steak Fajitas and Chicken Enchiladas. Delicious! Great sized portions. The fajitas in particular had a huge amount of food! Even the kids meals were good sizes. Ordered a few drinks as well - the house margarita, strawberry margarita, and the sangria. Drinks were okay in the groups opinion. On the small side compared to other places around. Overall, really good food and service. Definitely worth trying out when in Old Town.
Group of us went to bridal expo next door which was a bummer with only 15 vendors inside the lobby, so we needed a margarita to cheer us up! We ended up getting 2 mini samplers and pitcher of Cadillac margarita! Drinks were strong but tasty, we were all buzzing! The samplers were delicious and they weren't stingy with the salsas or Guacamole!! Atmosphere was awesome! Definitely enjoyed our time there. Staff and management were amazing and helped us save some money by getting the pitcher for same price would have been for 3 drinks. They even opened the door couple minutes early bc they saw us sitting outside. Great friendly and attentive service!! Btw first time there for 3 of us! My mom actually went there couple weeks ago for comedy show!! Last picture! We had a nice buzz feeling..
I always love coming to eat here. The staff are always so kind and friendly. The food? Consistently delicious! I love the Machaca is my favorite and the tortillas that come with it are the best! I also really enjoy the Pollo a la Queso Crema. It's a dream of goodness to the tastebuds!
Tried a few spots in Scottsdale/Phoenix area hoping to seek out the est Mexican food (as I’m from the north and it is few and far between). This is the best Mexican food i found in this area and maybe the best ever. I had a shredded beef chalupa and that alone was a filling meal for my larger than average appetite. The chips and homemade sals helped before, which were both great with some heat as well. My buddy agreed it may be the best he’s had as well. The waiter and manager were both great, made the experience better. We learned some interesting history of the establishments beginnings, which makes you appreciate the place even more. Thank you Los Olivos, sincerely, your northern gringo amigos!
