Great place to spend a Saturday Parking: Lot of places to park
Service could be better, our waiter seemed pretty distracted but overall a great time.
Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. My server was terrible. I waited several minutes to be acknowledged. The food was delivered in a timely manner. I ordered the worst fish tacos I've ever tasted. My water had stuff floating and the outside of glass was dirty as well.My waiter never checked back to see if I needed anything. I waited a lengthy time for my bill. But I had to leave the table and find my server for the bill. Payed my bill and left almost a full dinner on the table. No interest in eating that or taking the leftovers.
Always love eating here, have celebrated many life milestones here. Thank you for great food and great service always.
Food was awesome as usual. Service was great. I loved the look and decore of the place. Reminded me of the way the Mesa/Dobson Ranch location was decorated back in the day. I loved it here!!

The food was amazing! The bartender provided excellent service! The atmosphere was fantastic.
Not authentic or good. Over priced. Margaritas were too sweet. Overall, low quality chain Mexican food.
Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. The cheese crisps are the best—crispy, light, and flavorful. The Baja cream cheese is delicious as well. Need a little work on asking for refills on drinks, but overall we enjoyed our dinner for a family of 8.
Macayo's was excellent but they never received the reservations we made through OpenTable.
First of all they didn't have our reservation I had a copy with me after the hostess didn't believe me. They put us outside on the patio We were the only ones on the patio. The service was slow We had to ask several times for something we needed Our server was working the bar and that appears to have come first. The food was cool when it came out which tells me it sat in the kitchen for some time The food was O.K. but not all that great.

Mini Chimichangas were so tasty, I got the mixed but Id recommend just the chicken the beef had an odd aftertaste. Also got a massive portion of chips and salsa!
Didnt add utensils : enchilada and taco were ok. Beans and chips were good. Probably wouldnt come back
The carnitas, which Ive gotten many times before at Macayos, was perfect, as always! Lots of lean pork cooked so tender it almost melts in your mouth. Try it, youll love it as I did!
My chicken enchilada had a chicken bone but other than that the food was great. And their salsa is amazing. 
I dont know if it was that the cooks were mad they had to work on XMas eve but myTaquitos were burnt and fell apart , we had to use left over salsa, beans and rice from las Glorias bc Macayos salsa tasted like water and tomatoes and they charged me for rice and beans but didnt put it in the bag..Smh..my Wife ordered chimichangas that were soft as hell instead of crunchy..i was terribly disappointed .If yall mad that someone orders food at the tail end of your shift then just call out and dont come to work.i get it ..I had to work as well on Xmas eve but i didnt take it out on my customers.Ill be going to Las Glorias from now on ..Waaaaay better service .Macayos cooks should be ashamed .Very poor dinner service on Xmas eve .#Facts

I love it here. Always. And Sergio is by far one of the best around!! Thank you Sergio and Macayos. Our go to place!!
We had Gabriel as our server and he was fantastic! Just the right amount of service and made our visit special. The food and atmosphere are what I was...

Food and service were great! Good safety practices by all!
Didn't have our reservation somewhere in their system when we showed up
The food was delicious. No one had problems when my children were free. Service was good... our server served a lot of tables.... bad for him. But he was attentive. I wish he had an assistant like 15 of us. But overall it was a good birthday dinner!
They told us that they no longer accept online reservations, even though we had a confirmation. They gave him no star because they were still able to accommodate us after a few hins and downs. After the first Hiccup the food was fast and good.
We booked a group for lunch to celebrate a birthday. Reservation was made approximately 2 weeks prior and confirmed via app, text and by phone. It was not a good start to the experience but the manager rectified the situation once we spoke with him.

Nothing to write about. The food was fat and tasteless. Left a feeling of Crisco in the mouth after. Enchiladas and Chile Reinos were drowned in unrecoable, though crisco like “sauces”, which were just as tasteless. The receipt was left at our table by the waitress and she told us “just take it in front when you are ready”.... Well, we were told, “Oh! Your server takes the payment on the table.” ? We went back to our table and waited 7 minutes before our server came back! Everyone shaved about how “big” Macayo’s food is....It was enough for me. Let's not go back. If your digestive tract is sensitive to fat food, LOOK OUT!
