The Saguaro Scottsdale

A very original brunch menu with a south american twist. There is also classic american fare. Overall not a bad place. Not oustanding, but good.

During our weekend stay at the Saguaro Hotel, we decided to sample the food and drinks at the restaurant. It was our first visit but we will definitely be returning!

The website features a Mexican menu. The menu is quite average and the service is slow, but the outdoor ambiance is fantastic. I believe it would be better suited for a lunch or for enjoying some drinks and appetizers. View menu

This is a very cool restaurant affiliated with the Saguaro Hotel. We had lunch on the patio. My husband had a seafood chop salad and I had the sausage and sweet peppers flat bread. Both were perfect. There's an outdoor fireplace that would be great for evening margaritas. We'll be back.

Had a great meal before going to a play at Scottsdale Performing Arts, so location is good for pre-theater or Museum of Contemporary Art visit. Waitress was very helpful. We enjoyed the mushroom flatbread and duck carnitas which we rolled into small tortillas. Each was just a bit different from the usual Mexican fare, with outstanding flavors. We'll go back!

The menu is currently being adjusted, so some items are no longer available despite still being listed. Tonight, we tried the Caesar salad, which was flavorful but had too much dressing, the smoked chicken and avocado flatbread with Chipotle sauce, which was surprisingly delicious, and the shrimp ceviche. All of this food and two margaritas cost less than $60! We left feeling full and satisfied. View menu

I specifically picked this restaurant because the menu on the restaurants web site showed an interesting take on Mexican cooking. Not untill I was seated did I find out that the previous chef had left and the menu was now 'American ' cooking. At that point I should have left but since I didn 't know the area that well I stayed for what was a very disappointing meal. I hope with this review you 'll at least know that the food is no longer Mexican but a very boring 'American ' cooking.

We had been to Distrito before and enjoyed it, but this trip was different. First the restaurant was very cold. We asked them to close the door but they didn't do it. We were as far from the door as we could get, but were still cold. There were only four other tables occupied two that came in after us. After ten minutes someone who was not properly dressed as a server came over and took drink orders we never saw her again. After 15 minutes the server took drink orders the drinks came several minutes later. After 35 minutes, no one had taken our order though they had take the orders and brought snacks to two tables that came in after us. We asked for our check and left. It was pretty clear th...

Dined at this restaurant on Thanksgiving day so perhaps it was an anomaly that we found the restaurant to be lacking. The restaurant is a part of a hotel. You walk through the lobby and down into a bar. The bar has signs for shots and other drink specials and it was not very busy aside from a party of six having drinks. The dining room was pretty empty so it was surprising that we were sat across from a large, jolly (loud) party. The server did greet us and told us that the food was going to take about 15 minutes or so since they had the party going on. We ordered the vegetarian version of the natchos. They were excellent. The scallops were fine too. We had our kids with us and had to order... View menu
