Diego Pops

One of the best happy hours in Scottsdale that goes on till 6pm! Fun atmosphere and friendly service. The food we had was decent but not great. We only liked the chicken crunchy taco and the different variety of sauces they provide were really fun to try. Will continue to visit and try more of their menu. 👍🏻

Great experience at Diego pops. Really enjoyed the Brussels sprout nachos with green chilli chicken. Great combination of flavours and very filling for two hungry people. Frozen margaritas were delicious, combo of watermelon and lime cucumber was 10/10. Great service and vibes and ambiance! Would definitely return again next trip to Arizona.

This is probably one of Scottsdale hippiest & most vibrant Mexican restaurants. The service is exceptionally fast and friendly. The mode feels like a big party all around. Food is good with some seasonal add-on/twists.

This is a hidden little gem. Right at the heart of old town Scottsdale. Fun and friendly environment, great food. Perfect for a couples night out. This is for the crowd that likes the home town feeling. Enjoy!

The chicken tortilla soup was fantastic!! Cilantro wasn’t overpowering, and the chicken green chile taco 🌮 was outstanding!! Drinks were very good and I tried a local beer brewery Scottsdale Blonde, paired well with food!! I’d highly recommend Diego Pops to visitors and locals alike!! Parking is sort of tight, but not excruciating to find a spot; still well worth the visit!

We have really enjoyed our annual visit to Diego Pops. The food and service is amazing. Today we used the gift card our kids got us for Christmas. To the regulars on a Wednesday who couldn't stop commenting that I switched tables and took your 'spot' - there was no reserved sign, nor did wait staff say I could not sit where I chose. Shame on your rudeness and saying it loudly enough a few times that it made for an uncomfortable adjacency.

We were a bachelorette party and Diego pops knew the drill. We had a fantastic brunch here on a Friday. You could not tell it was a Friday when you were inside because the atmosphere was so lively. The pitchers kept coming, the food was tasty and the right portion so you don't feel too gross afterwards from being stuffed. We were able to get pitchers of mezcal drinks which is right up our alley. Couldn't have asked for a better place to jump start my bachelorette weekend!

I thought the food here was great. I really liked the salsa tray with the label card letting us know what was what. The white rice with the hints of coconut was nice. We did have a couple service issues. But our server was new so it was no big deal. We ordered chips and salsa that got missed by the runner, so they came with the meal. The manager did come over and apologize and said the chips were on them. They still made it to the bill though. I ordered the California burrito but was brought the house and the drinks sat needing a refill half way through the meal to the end. But again, the food tasted great. The online menu is a little hard to navigate. It has several sub menus that only show up after clicking other parts of the menu. If you are going Monday-Friday around lunch time, I recommend the lunch special, plenty of food for a great price. Again, the food was delicious we just had a few service issues that didn’t really stop us from enjoying the meal.

I love this spot and have been here multiple times! The vibe is super chill, service has always been good and food is tasty. I came in here the other night with a few girlfriends for HH and it was a lot of fun, a lot of food, and very reasonably priced. We ordered the appetizer trio, which are chips with salsa, guacamole ans queso. All of it was delicious! We also tried the brussel sprout nachos ans that was super yum! My friends tried the chicken taquitos and said they were good. One friend also got a soup. We all had some margaritas, one friend got a Prosecco. Overall, everything was great! And the bill was the best part, split 3 ways, it came to under $20/person and you just can't beat that! I'll definitely be back and definitely coming back for HH. Come join me next time!

After finishing a little shopping in Scottsdale, we worked up an appetite and figured we would grab lunch. Tacos were on our minds so we stumbled across Diego Pops. I loved this place so much! Everything from the vibe to the food to the service. It was as a great experience. They have very cute indoor and outdoor seating, plus a little parking lot for customers so that's super convenient. Our service was superb from start to finish. She was attentive and helpful with ordering our meal. The tacos, rice, and beans were seasoned so well and freshly made. The grilled steak was by far my favorite! But they were each so tasty. The prickly pear margarita was also tasty. If you're in the area, you should definitely check them out.

We came here for lunch and it did not disappoint. The vibe inside is really nice, pretty neon lights throughout, cool artwork, fun place! We started with the appetizer, we ordered the dip trio. It came with the salsa (it was good but nothing outstanding), guacamole (LOVED this as it didn't have tomatoes, I hate tomatoes in my guacamole), and the street corn was queso (my absolute favorite of the three-it was sweet from the corn and had a chunkier texture which I enjoyed). My fiancé ordered two tacos and a side of beans, my best friend ordered the California burrito, and I ordered two tacos. These were very well made, really appreciated the crunchy taco shell. Delicious! But what the real STAR of the trip for me was the sauces that they provide to you on the table. They are DELICIOUS! Particularly love the beet crema and the Serrano ranch. They're all so tasty and I really thought it was such a cool element to the meal experience trying these different sauces! Normally it's so packed that I never even consider going to Diego Pops, but I'm glad we did! That said, I just fear the quality goes down when it gets packed. Best time is probably right after they open. Great food, great vibe!

Visited Diego Pops frequently, they allow dogs on the covered patio which is also fun and welcoming for dog folks Food has is good, why not 5 stars? recently experienced missing ingredients from their food, unfortunately only noticed once I've finished eating and realised they've left the prosciutto off the prosciutto bowl :( In addition to the left off protein, we've been forced to wait for tables while many tables are left empty or waiting on being cleaned. Imagine how much more business can be achieved by seating folks faster? They are not alone in this practice, but when sitting waiting for 20 minutes to get a table whilst seeing empty tables inside and out going empty the whole time, is not a good practice. But for the price, dog friendly and menu selection, this does make Deigo Pops a spot that's a good option.

I met a couple of friends here on a Wednesday for happy hour and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive. She checked in periodically and she had good menu suggestions. Although it was 100° outside, we opted to sit outside. Withthe mistress on, it was cool. Our food items was received timely. And yummy! There is a small parking lot in front of the facility as well as garage and street parking nearby. There is accessible parking spaces as well as accessible entrances.

This place is such a hit! I love coming here just for the brusselsprout nachos and a margarita. They have a great happy hour during the week and this place never disappoints. Has such a cute vibe with music and high energy. We came in tonight and it was super slow due to the monsoon weather. A ton of tables were open yet our server took a long time to greet us and bring us drinks. Once we had our drinks everything was great! Typically great service outside of tonight so still giving 5 stars.

Went during happy hour and I absolutely loved it! Found this place on social media and as we were from out of town we'd definitely return! $6 margaritas? Umm yes! The food was good and it was well portioned. Service was good, even though they were busy we were very well attended. Ambiance -- we were outside and it was not too hot so it was perfect but even then there were misters along the patio. Would recommend!

Best happy hour! $6 margaritas, yes please! Went here for a celebration and the food and drinks were the perfect combo. For the $6 margaritas you can add flavoring like peach, mango, guava, pineapple, and much more! We orders the chips and salad & corn queso. The chips were thin and crispy, and the salsa were perfectly seasoned. I ordered the charred skirt steak tacos and they were tender and the two different types of onion brought a nice savory and sweet balance to them. Our waiter was was super sweet and thoughtful. The restaurant is on the smaller side so get there early!

Really enjoyed our experience here. Fun vibe on the patio and great food. Loved the governors steak taco and the chip duo, the plantain chips were a fun addition. Service was quick and nice. They brought out a 6 caddy of house sauces - loved the cilantro ranch but all were delicious. Would recommend!

Very lively restaurant and cool hangout spot. Busy for a Wednesday evening. I had the shrimp tacos; loved the vibe and decor. Parking lot is a little small, but there is lots of parking. I loved the sauces they provide and every sauce was so good. I dipped my tacos and chips in each one. Yum. Shrimp tacos were good too. Drinks strong and the staff were attentive and friendly. Can be pricey but it's in downtown Scottsdale.

Diego Pops was recommended by a friend. I was excited to try it. We arrived and immediately seated. They had the cutest decor with an old fashioned stovetop as the hostess stand. They had the drink menu clipped to a license plate. We arrived during happy hour so took advantage of the prices to try things out of the norm. I ordered the classic margarita. It was good and refreshing. The dip trio was very good : corn queso, guacamole and salsa with tortilla and plantain chips. Corn queso was amazing but nothing I would have gotten normally. I really enjoyed it. It was so hard to choose between tacos and bowls but we all opted for bowls. I got the grilled shrimp bowl. They had fresh Serrano which I added cuz I like it spicy. I added the green salsa to the bowl. We also ordered the Brussels nachos. I'm not a fan of Brussels but tried them anyway. Definitely recommend this place. I will prob get the tacos but since we were staying at a resort and needed to reheat our food, I felt it was best to get a bowl. The tacos come with different options that I would like to try. They had seating outside but wanted to limit it since it was rainy. I appreciated that. Didn't want to have to move.

Such a fun spot in the middle of downtown! The frozen margarita was delicious and refreshing and the food was so tasty. It's a really fun and lively atmosphere.

I'd say this is a good spot for a big group dinner - they provide a set menu with drink, apps, and dessert that they just bring out that makes it super easy! The chips and Guac were good and I liked they had plantain chips as well. Also loved the hot sauce basket. However, I didn't like any of the tacos - I tried the beef, pork, and fish and all were relatively bland and I didn't like the crispy tortilla aspect.

I visited Diego Pops with a group 12 on a Monday. Luckily it was $3 taco Monday all night. We were also there during happy hour. We got there around 4:30 and were very lucky to get a table. The hostess sat us quietly and they were then getting us drinks quickly. They move everything quickly because I think they like to move tables but we enjoyed the Margs and the food. Everyone left happy and I'm sure they would return. The only thing that was annoying is that they would only do one check per table.

It has been over a month since I went to Diego Pops and I STILL think about the street corn queso! This is a must get and will keep me coming back on its own! The Paloma margarita is refreshing and easy to drink. On top of the delicious drinks they have the option to order a pitcher, which was perfect for 2. Ambiance is fun, this is the perfect hangout spot if you are looking to hangout with friends or even get some work done. The decor is gorgeous and the open concept to the patio is a perfect vibe.

Googled best tacos in Old Scottsdale and this place came up and now I know why! Arrived around 2pm and was able to be seated inside or outside. Our server was amazing, she offered suggestions and let us know about happy hour specials if we wanted to wait a little bit order. The food was so good and they brought over a caddy of various hot sauces which was wonderful. I also had the skinny margarita 10/10. Definitely you need to try it if you are in the area!

Came here after shopping, searched this place that was near by and decided to give it a try. We got a seat right away and the server was quick with our order. She was also super friendly and very helpful. I ordered a few things. I got the chicken bowl, with cilantro rice and beans and my son got the quesadilla with chicken and my husband got the big burrito. Every thing we got tasted fantastic. The chicken and rice was really good. I'm not a big rice person but it was delicious. The churros for dessert was amazing as well. I ordered the margarita and it was the perfect amount of tequila and lime. We also came during happy hour, so a lot of things was half off. There are foods and drinks, certain ones that are part of the happy hour. The place itself was really cute. The decor of everything was cute and my favorite was the pink. Definitely will come back.

While in Scottsdale Arizona someone suggested this spot. We ordered a specialty drink and the reviews raved about the Brussel sprout nachos they were really good. We ordered the California burrito in a bowl form, kids quesadillas, shrimp bowl and the trio dip was my utmost favorite (the corn dip the most).

Busy corner bar ..... food and spirits.... Nice atmosphere. Margarita was good and a pour of Lalo tequila was smooth as spring water. They have food... fun lace to just hang out.

Three words, BRUSSEL SPROUT NACHOS. Diego pops is a staple we go to anytime I'm back in AZ visiting. Their margaritas are unreal, everything on the menu is delicious (including their basket of special sauces), and the staff is super friendly. I dream of the Brussel sprout nachos we had last time

It's been a while since I've been to Diego Pops and I finally made it back. I remember enjoying their tacos when I first visited and I've had them at different taco fest. I dined in during happy hour and I ordered; Red Sangria Braised Green Chili Chicken taco Skirt Steak Taco Grilled Adobo Chicken taco All the tacos were delicious, my favorite taco is the Skirt steak taco. I highly recommend checking out Diego Pops

Was visiting Old Town in Scottsdale and found Diego Pops on Yelp for our lunch spot. The yelp reviews were spot on. Super cute place, food was amazing and drink was super good too! We went right about noon on a Saturday with a party of 2 and had no problem getting in, however when we left at 12:45 most tables were full. Both indoor and outdoor atmospheres are good. Love the street corn queso and all tacos were super tasty.

The way I LOVE this place. I have not been since 2019 and I have been dreaming of street corn queso for years. I got my usual and asked for a mangonada. The waitress recommended something frozen that I can't remember the name of that was delicious. I brought a friend and now he is also a believer . The restaurant is as cute as I remember and has a cozy indoor outdoor vibe. I can't wait to come back and I'm about to go heat up my left overs!

Yummmmm!! Came for the tacos, and did not disappoint. The sauce caddy I wanted to take home, so good love options. We ordered several tacos all tasted good, my fave was the fried fish taco. Started with chips and salsa, salsa was nice. My husband had a burrito he enjoyed it. Cute atmosphere, love the colourful decor. Service was great.

Came here with 16 girls for a bachelorette lunch and left feeling like I'd just eaten a red cabbage tasting menu. The tacos? Drowned in cabbage. The salad? Same. It was giving coleslaw with a side of disappointment. Drinks were fine. Ambiance was cute. But unless you're passionate about cabbage, eat somewhere else.

Perfect place... for a bachelorette party. Because there was like 4 brides the night we went! The vibe is cute and girly! The tacos of course were amazing. Loved all the sauces they provided to add a little something to your taco. The appetizer guac, cheese dip stuff was amazing. 10/10 coming here for next bachelorette party

Great place in Scottsdale. Had the Sonoran dog and street corn and prickly pear margarita. Everything was delicious. Nice looking place with a lively atmosphere.

Right when I walked in, I thought Diego Pops was so aesthetic! Which made sense why we saw multiple bridal parties in the restaurant! We came on a Saturday night without a reservation and waited about 20 minutes which wasn't bad! I ordered the chips and guac as well as two tacos (crispy shrimp and steak). My favorite taco was the steak but both were delicious! I also loved how the chips and guac came with two kinds of chips; your normal tortilla and then plantain chips as well. If we weren't already going out for drinks, I would've loved to try their drink menu as it looked like it had many great options! Definitely would return!

We stopped by for lunch and the patio was perfect for the weather! It took awhile for our server to come but she ended up being super nice. I tried the green chile chicken taco, beef taco, rice and beans and the horchata cold brew. The chicken taco was flavorful but pretty dry. Beef was alright! However, the salsa/sauce selections were pretty good. I was disappointed by the portion of the rice and beans, it just seemed pretty small. My horchata cold brew was okay as well. This is a good spot for drinks but the food was alright! Patio and service help this spot thrive.

Awesome service. Awesome handheld sandwiches. Awesome appetizers. You are welcomed and the service reflects it.

I love Diego Pops! The vibe, the service, food + drinks are always amazing. I love their outdoor patio set up. They always play good music also. Their ceviche is one of my favorite go-to dishes, but anything on the menu is fire! They have so many different foods, no matter what you are in the mood for they're sure to have something to satisfy your craving. This restaurant is great for any occasion; a casual lunch, happy hour, date night, or before a night out with friends. Highly recommend Diego Pops

The Brussel Sprouts Nachos are the best for this year. We ordered this and two tacos for each on late lunch. So fulfilled. They have Bad Birdie on Tap and there are multiple Tequila choices for cocktails.

Diego Pops happy hour was AMAZING! We absolutely loved it! We started with the street corn queso and guac which was absolutely delicious. The tacos on Monday are $3, which is a steal! We got the shrimp tacos and tried a few others, all were great. The $5 margaritas are delicious! Our server let us know they could do a skinny strawberry one, which is always a nice touch. I recommend this place 100%!

Okay, it is unfortunate this place doesn't take reservations so beware because it can get very busy on the weekends! And for good reason... this happy hour is by far the best deal. Half off on appetizers, insane. I LOVE their Brussel sprout nachos, which comes out to only $7 for happy hour and it's massive. I mean massive, maybe even too much for two people. Sometimes nachos have too many bare chips, not these nachos! Great amounts of cheese, corn, Brussels, etc etc, topped with a massive egg. Best part is you get a thing of six sauces, and they're all pretty colors! Theres a verde one, a mayo base one, a pink one (great descriptions I know), varying from not spicy to spicy. I got a bowl for the first time, the cod one with brown rice and creamy beans (blended beans with cheese). It was just okay! Definitely needed the extra sauces. Good portion size though. I think it would be better if I didn't mix everything together beforehand. The drinks are also so good, the sangria is tasty and they can modify their margs with vodka! So fresh and tasty. The food always comes out so fast! Great vibes, love this place. Make sure you park along the streets one over as the parking lot itself has maybe 6 spots!

Busy little hot spot in Old Town! If you're craving Mexican food, this place is a solid bet--flavorful dishes, decent margaritas, and a great price point. It definitely gets packed, so be ready for a bit of a wait, but the lively atmosphere adds to the experience. Worth checking out if you're in the mood for some Mexican food without breaking the bank.

Disappointed to say the least! I had read so many positive reviews about this place that I couldn't wait to try it. On my last night in Scottsdale, I grabbed dinner here and ordered the popular Brussel sprouts nachos and tacos. The nachos were not flavorful at all and all the sauces they provided didn't help either. I wish the nachos had some beans or protein on them. On a side note, they have a good kids menu which comes with a side and drink for $5. That's not a bad deal. Service was okay. The waitress took our order and then we never saw her again until we flagged her down to get the check.

The food here is incredible and the churros are to die for. Although the service could have been a tad better, we still had an incredible experience and would recommend to anyone for a big group! We had 2 separate tables however were all together as one group of 15 and one tables first round of drinks and shots came out 10 minutes after the other. Overall would still 100% go back!!!

I love this place!! The frozen margs were amazing for such a great price. I sat at the bar and had wonderful service. I was able to taste test the watermelon margarita before ordering which I really appreciated. The ambiance is perfect for a drink with friends, or fun dinner. I will definitely be back to try the food!

Was curious to know if you are accepting new roommates because I'd love to move in. I prefer to work remote from home. lol. Found Diego Pops because we were in the area for a lunch appointment and decided to drive back for dinner. Could not be more excited for this find. We happen to come during happy hour and got 50% off our margaritas and the tacos were legit, service was super fast and had an awesome vibe. Marisa, our server was amazing.

Diego Pops is a lively, high-energy place. It's very popular, so it's a bit noisy, especially with the house music. Though, this energy makes you want to laugh, enjoy, and drink!!! Patio and inside seating available. Most people were sitting outside. I chose inside to relax in the ac. The decor is vibrant with a mix of colored lights and upbeat house music. Katie was our server. She was adorable, bubbly, and friendly (5/5). I asked her any other places she'd recommend for a Sonoran Dog other than this restaurant. She said, "Honestly, I'd never heard of a Sonoran Dog before working here." I like her honesty. LOL. Brussels Sprout Nachos: Street corn queso, queso oaxaca, fresno chili, pickled onion, roasted garlic beet crema, fried egg (4/5). Usually, it's some kind of meat on Nachos. Brussel Sprouts??? This works. Though, I wish they were deep-fried or more blistered to be tender. It worked with this dish. Taco (Al Pastor): spit roasted achiote pork shoulder, grilled pineapple, red onion, cilantro, corn tortilla (4/5). The meat was flavorful and juicy. Tiny chunks of pineapple gave a nice sweetness to each bite. Taco (Charred Skirt Steak): red onion, caramelized onion, cilantro (3/5). Classic, simple, and beefy. Sonoran Hot Dog: Bacon-wrapped all-beef hot dog, pinto beans, grilled onion, mayo, avocado crema, cotija, brioche bun (4/5). What's all this talk about a hot dog? It's just a hotdog, right? Wrong. First bite, and it is a flavor explosion. Creaminess from the pinto beans, mayo, and avocado crema. Texture from the grilled onions. Savory from the cotija cheese and bacon wrapped hotdog. But that soft buttery brioche bun makes it all come together. Yeah, yeah, it's still a hotdog, but one worth trying! Horchata Agua Fresca (4/5) - This was very tasty. It was smooth, and you could taste the subtle cinnamon rice drink.

Love this place so much! Everything I've tried is amazing! The menu is so creative and delicious! The drinks are also great and they have a huge selection of tequila. Service is kind of inconsistent but they are usually pretty busy so it makes sense that some times there's a wait for food and drinks. Love the patio and the fact that you can pick up to go from the window that faces the parking! Definitely one of my go to spots in Old Town for consistently good food drinks and atmosphere!!

I was visiting Scottsdale for a wedding and we stopped here for lunch because it looked so cute. The food menu was full of vibrant and interesting options. I opted for just a salad but had to get the hot Cheeto elote. Both things were super tasty! I didn't grab a drink but the menu looked good. Parking was a bit tricky in this area and we opted to have to pay for a $20 lot. I would come back!

These might be some of the best tacos in Scottsdale. Diego Pops is everything you could dream of for great tacos and margaritas. It's always popping inside here with great music and energy. Staff is friendly and food comes out quick here, what more could you ask for? I always try a variety of tacos here and they all pretty much slap. They also give you loads of sauces to try as well, which we love! None of that "it'll cost ya extra" bs. If you're looking for some energy, some great tacos, a margarite and a vibe, Diego Pops is your spot!

This is one of my favorite spots for happy hour, lunch or dinner. The food is consistently delicious. You HAVE to try the Brussels sprout nachos. Their margaritas are delicious as well. The patio is perfectly shaded with views of TVs if that's your thing. The service is always super quick and all the servers are super friendly. It can be a bit noisy if you sit indoors so I do prefer the patio.

I love it here. They do a taco Monday deal and have a great happy hour! The drinks, apps and food are great to share and so yummy! The service is quick and it's a fun atmosphere!

Diego Pops is a healthy & trendy American-Mexicanoption. It's not that the food is bad, it's just not traditional Mexican. Since I am an out-of-towner, I was craving authentic Mexican and this just wasn't it. That being said, the corn queso dip was out of this world, and using plantain chips was different for me, but a good-different; can't wait to recreate that option at home. Everything else was kinda blah; my bowl was not memorable.. Would I come back? Probably not since there are so many other Mexican options.

The environment was super fun, and the bartenders were super nice. I'm Only giving 4 stars because I was not personally super crazy about the tacos. BUT the queso corn dip or whatever it's called was SOOOOO good.

Food is always 10/10 - I am a local and this is a go-to spot, especially if you're coming from out of town!! Tori, Alex & Andres at the bar make the experience even more, I absolutely adore them and hope they're working when you come in! If you want to have fun, eat delicious Mexican food & leave with a smile - got you, go to Diego's!

Sooo good! Pretty affordable and good happy hour. Would def come again! I liked the brussels sprouts nachos a lot.
