Great Place for Tourists – We were in town on business meeting and searched for an authentic "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant. However, time did not allow it, so this was a good substitute. The waiter even spoke spanish....

An old family favorite – Macayo's is an old family restaurant in Phoenix. They have done quite well as a chain and the quality and service is still very good for a chain. Always prompt seating and very good chips and salsa. This is where you want to take your midwestern friends for fried burritos. The Macayo's chimichanga is always prepared well and a favorite for those folks that don't like it too spicy. They have new innovative items for the heat concious too.

Okay, not great – Tried it when I first moved to Tucson, have not been back. It was not anything special but the atmosphere was nice.

Oops! Did you say "good Mexican (style)? – I think the category for ths is "from fajitas to margaritas...(my) cities' most authentic Mexican fare." Can you say, "Taco Bell?" Well, then you are talking BETTER "Mexican" food than what Macayo's serves. Phoenix, the 5th largest city in the country--sporting the history of generations (hundreds, maybe thousands) of years of Sonoran peoples, has spectacularly delectable sources of truly authentic "Mexican" food. If you like GOOD food, let alone authentic, do NOT darken the doorste... read more

Macayos on T'bird – This is just another of Woody Johnson's places that serves over rated mex food with gringo designed dishes that are neither tasty or original. Bland, ordinary and same-o stuff.

Take it from me... – Take it from a real mexican...this place is horrible. Although Macayo's may have good drinks, atmosphere, and service...when it comes to the food, it is FAR from authentic. The rice & beans taste like it comes out of a box, and their sauces out of a can. And the most important mexican condiment (salsa, of course) tasted like marinara sauce..thick with absolutely NO spice or flavor. I wouldn't in my wildest dreams ever recommend this joke of a restaurant.

Not sure what makes them popular. – I have eaten at a Macayo's restaurant many, many times over the past decade. This is the location I have visited the most. A couple of things immediately stand out. One is that I have almost always had very good service from the wait staff here. What you come for, though, is of course the food. That's where I am confused as to why the Macayo's chain has been so popular for so long. The only really good meal that I have ever had there was a limited time special. Everything is just so medioc... read more

inconsistant food – sometime the food here is unbeatable other times it tastes like tv dinner. During happy hour you have to sit at the bar to get the discount, the insist on charging full price for drinks if you wish to sit at a table.
