Carlos O'Brien's Mexican Restaurant Mayo Blvd.

"Don’t know why everyone else would give anything less than a 4 star rating!!!! I’d give our server a lot more stars… his name was Sean L… food was excellent and his energy was infectious… he made sure everything was perfect… gave a little extra in tip… well worth it"

"Nothing has changed with their food. I was here for the Albondigas still the best. Not to mention the Ice Tea. Salsa is still on point. Missed you soooo much. -12thStreetNorthernCustomer"

"We had an outstanding experience at the restaurant, our food was excellent. We had come for a birthday party and were pleasantly surprised at how good a time we had. Our server, Shawn or Sean (I don't know which spelling he uses) was very attentive and refilled our glasses several times. All of the staff at the restaurant were friendly and welcoming. Although we came for a special event, we would come back to the Scottsdale branch again just to have a relaxed dinner. I noticed they had the younger crowd in the front near a bar area, but they also have family seating in the back of the restaurant. It was clean and comfortable. I would think that any age group would enjoy coming here; they had another birthday with a young family while we were there as well, and they looked like they were having fun as well. I highly recommend Carlos O Brian's in Scottsdale."

"Two words to consider when looking for old school Phoenix Mexican food, Pollo Fundido. Come on! Shredded chicken rolled into a flour tortilla, deep fried until golden and crisp. Then, it's slathered with jalapeño cream cheese and covered with cheddar, placed under a broiled until the whole operation is melty served with rice and beans. Enjoy it when you can because this is a Phoenix thing. Move away and you crave that gooey cheesy melt combined with crispy tortilla and juicy seasoned chicken. Trust me, I've been trying to find a place in San Diego (home) where I can have this again. Nope, only in Phoenix. Let's also not forget about Cheese Crisp's. A Phoenix thing and cannot be found elsewhere. And NO! A quesadilla is not the same thing so don't even try to correct me because you are wrong. O'brien's, Garcia's, TeePee, etc etc all serve Cheese Crisp's. Paired with house salsa and a sprinkling of fresh chopped lettuce and tomato is equal to heaven. Service here was efficient and friendly. Drinks, salsa bowls and chips were always full and plenty. Food come out fast so be sure to "course" out your meal as you see fit. Inside booths and tables were comfortable and not too close to your neighbors. Until my next trip to Cheese Crisp homeland..."

"Food was good, server was never around. Ordered a side of PICO was given a tiny cup and she charged me $2.25 for it. It was like the amount of a spoonful. Really?! But chips and salsa are free? Makes no sense"
