Diego Pops

Ambiance all around! Came here on a recommendation from a friend and it was spot on. We had a short wait before we were seated. Eclectic vibe all around! We had a house margarita which was excellent. We chose tacos from the menu in several different flavors and they were excellent. The elote' was excellent as were the stewed beans. A must stop if you are in the area!

First time here and everything was great. The food, service and atmosphere all good. I had the mangonada which I didn't care for, next time I'll try the margarita. I would recommend this place for sure. Its super chill and relaxing. Everyone sat outside, we ended up sitting inside which was great...wasn't loud at all. Go check this place out.

Happy hour was sooooo delish! We had Brussel sprout nachos, huge, so many flavorful toppings, great to share! We loved the six chilled sauces they bring out and had fun trying them all. We also got a ceviche which was packing a punch but tasty. Will def be back!

Our server was outstanding. The brussel sprout nachos and cod tacos were tasty. I particularly enjoyed the six sauces brought to the table, especially the roasted garlic beet creama. I love their drink glasses and their ice water tasted great, coming from a water snob.

Reasonably priced and large portion sizings. The sauce basket with all the flavors to choose from was awesome! Ordered the chicken burrito and it was quite filling and tasty. Also had fried plantains as a side and they were perfectly cooked. Favorite sauce was the roasted garlic beet creme! Service was excellent. Got there around 1PM on a Wednesday and had about a 15 minute wait. If you are a gluten free diner they have a separate frier for your food!

Great vibe and good food in this little gem of a restaurant! Great Mexican food, tacos, chips, burritos! All served by a super friendly staff! Indoor seating and outdoor seating with mist fans! Good drinks to top off a good meal.

Fun casual limited menu Mexican cantina style spot near old town Scottsdale. Many taco items to choose from along with burritos and bowls. Excellent frozen margs. Casual spot for a fun time. Indoor and outdoor seating.

This was such a good find! Their happy hour was amazing and the food was so yummy too! The waitress was the kindest and location is unmatched in Scottsdale. Honestly 10/10, I’ll be back 🌮

Diego Pops has been on my list of restaurants to try for a long time now, and I was excited to finally experience my first visit. I went with my husband at a busy time of night, but we only waited about 10 mins to be seated. Our server was very attentive and visit the table multiple times. The drinks and food also arrived incredibly quickly, but not in a way that they wanted to turn your table over. I ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita and it was beautiful and delicious. The salt rim perfectly balanced out the subtle sweetness of the drink. For an appetizer, we chose the Mexican Deviled Eggs. They were super tasty! Very nice consistency of the filling and egg texture. I really liked the tajin sprinkled on top. For a meal, I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Bowl. I initially thought the portion was a bit small, but there was more to it once I started eating. I also kept in mind that the bowl was priced at only $15, so I think the cost matched the serving. But the bowl was very good! Great flavors, shrimp was cooked nicely, and the ingredients were all so cohesive. They also have a sauce caddy placed on each table, which was fun. I tried all of them and thought each one was delicious. I added a few different ones to my bowl because I always like extra sauce. The atmosphere at Diego Pops is also something to write home about. It had such a cool, trendy vibe and would make for the perfect spot to grab drinks and apps with friends. I think Diego Pops is definitely worth a visit if you're in the Scottsdale area!

Ridiculously small portions of beans and rice -- when I pay EXTRA for beans and rice with my tacos, I expect them to not be so small-portioned that they come in SAUCE CUPS... very disappointing. However, the fish tacos were good. Our server only came by about 1-2 times for our entire meal, which was not good. I will not be coming back here.

My friends and I had a great time at happy hour at Diego Pops! $6 classic margs, 1/2 off appetizers, and $3 tacos are such a good deal We tried the dip trio which was good and all got an assortment of tacos. Even though they were $3, it did feel like they weren't all filled the same. Like some of us at the table had a taco with lots of toppings and filling, and some didn't get that. I wish I could say we liked our service more. We had to ask our waitress multiple times to put our order in and it felt like she was trying to wait until happy hour was over ): we also had to ask multiple times for water refills... just seemed like she was walking past us trying not to look.

I have tried Diego Pops a few times before and I didn't really care for it. But the past two times that we have visited have been 10/10 experiences. I think it's because of the time we visited in the past. In the past, we have gone in the evening hours and it was way too packed and because of that, the quality tends to follow the chaos of the guests. Regardless, I'm giving them a 10/10 rating because their tacos are incredible! Their drinks are great and the service ESPECIALLY when you sit at the bar is grade A! The gentleman that was working the bar was incredible and it made our visit very pleasant! Thank goodness we finally found our taco spot! The vibe inside is really cute. My absolute favorite thing about the restaurant is the AMAZING SAUCES! I am a condiment girl and can't eat food without it! Amazing sauces! Love them! The green chili chicken taco was my favorite! Pair it with the beet sauce (pink) and it's *chefs kiss!!!!

Brussels Sprouts Fact: In 2014, competitive eater Emma Dalton ate 325 Brussels sprouts in 36 minutes. Although Guinness World Records didn't officially confirm her record, this is the largest known quantity of sprouts consumed in one sitting. I've been wanting to pop in here for the longest time. Who in Arizona doesn't know their iconic Brussels Sprouts Nachos (Street corn queso, queso oaxaca, fresno chili, pickled onion, roasted garlic beet crema, fried egg)? At the table is a generous offering of more hot sauces but more importantly, they have a giant squeeze bottle of that pretty-in-pink hued roasted garlic beet crema. Squeeze more on, cracking that egg, and dig in! It was bite after bite of pure bliss. The table also shared some ceviche and I got a crispy fish taco on the side. It was an amazingly delicious evening with some colleagues. Diego Pops has a 4.1 star rating on yelp with over 2.7k reviews. I get the hype and the hype is so well deserved! They also have a great Happy Hour special (7 days a week from 3pm-6pm): 1/2 off appetizers, $2 off beers, $6 Diego Margaritas , and $6 wine and sangrias.

Came on a Friday night with a party of 7. It was also the first night of Canal Convergence, so the crowds were bigger in the entire area. Despite this, only had to wait about 20-30 mins for a table. My kids both got the shredded chicken tacos kids meal, which comes with a bowl of shredded chicken (which is very juicy and yummy, but also note it's drippy and can be messy!), a side of 2 tortillas (we ended up asking for more and each kid got 3 tacos out of his meal), beans, rice, cheese and avocado slices. Super tasty tacos that my kids both enjoyed. I got the braised pineapple pork taco and the braised green chili chicken taco. Both were very tasty. We also got the street corn which you can get on the cob or in a bowl. We opted for the bowl since we were sharing. Good portion and also tasty. We got a coconut lemongrass ceviche for the table, which was definitely on the sweeter side but was enjoyed by our whole group. Comes with lots of tortilla and plantain chips and served in a pineapple. Mangonada was good as well. Service was attentive and friendly. Would recommend!

I visited Diego Pops on a Bachelorette Party and absolutely loved it. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I picked out this spot, but I really did enjoy it, as did the rest of the group. The vibes were awesome and they did a great job accommodating for our larger party! Food and drinks both exceeded expectations and the pricing seemed fair for what we got. If you're looking for a fun ambiance with indoor and outdoor space, go for Diego Pops!

It had been a while since I had been to Diego Pops, but my recent visit helped me remember why I used to view this as a reliably good "chic Mexican" restaurant. The staff was friendly and timely, and their menu consisted of some pretty solid Happy Hour specials, such as half off appetizers and noticeable discounts on drinks. The Grilled Shrimp Bowl was solid, but a small personal downside to this place, and many modern/trendy Mexican restaurants, is having to pay for chips and salsa as opposed to getting them as a complimentary table appetizer. Worth a visit if you've never been!

Diego pops is a staple when going to old town Scottsdale. Parking can be a bit hard but that's expected in old town. We went on a Wednesday so there was no wait and were seated right away. Happy hour was almost over so we ordered some chips and salsa and a margarita. I wish the chips and salsa were free but again were in downtown Scottsdale so to be expected. The ambiance of Diego pops is very lovely, with low lights and a quaint atmosphere. The food is phenomenal and I love that they give you a variety of sauces to put on your food. I got the chicken quesadilla! Will be back !

Went here for lunch while on a work trip on a recommendation from a work colleague! My favorite part was the six sauces that they made available - I loved the salsa verde and roasted garlic beet crema. We got the chips and guacamole, which was a combination of plantain chips and tortilla chips. For my entree I got the California burrito (so good!) and the braised pineapple port taco. The atmosphere was very hip and trendy and they had great service during lunch time. I would definitely come back here for a drink!

First time here, the service was great. Our server was excellent. I ordered the mangonada, which i didn't care for at all. My partner had prickly pear which he liked. The food was excellent and tasty. I liked my charred skirt steak and the taquitos. The chips and salsa was great. My partner loved his tacos. Overall great experience and I would definitely go back for sure. I would recommend this place.

So good! The hack is to go Monday between 3-6 pm. Tacos on Monday are $3 each and then they have Happy Hour. Their Diego margarita is $6 and all apps are half price! This deal can't be beat. We decided to try here based on that alone. The food was amazing! Some of the best guacamole I have ever had. The pork and pineapple taco can't be beat. The chicken tortilla soup was also great. We tried the taquitos too, they were good but not great. All in all $60 bill for 6 margaritas, 3 tacos. And several apps!!

Whenever I venture to Arizona, Diego Pop's is always a MUST. Friendly staff and the coolest ambience with inside/outside seating. The food is great especially on Taco Monday's when the Pineapple Braised Pork taco is $3. Some other personal, frequently ordered items are the Hot Cheetos Street Corn, fried plantain, fresh guac Sundaze Coconut cocktail and any of their Agua Fresca now I'm hungry

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.

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!

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 has great ambience and fast service for the verrry busy Scottsdale Waterfront area. Menu was Mexican inspired tacos, burritos, nachos & such! Plenty of cocktails, altho I wasn't drinking this time out! There plenty of indoor/outdoor seating & the vibe is fun & kinda retro. I would definitely come back if I was in the area again; seems like a fun hang!

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.

It has a nice ambiance. I ordered nachos and would never order them again. more than half of my order my chips literally had nothing on them. And for the ones that did I had to actually use my fork and put some stuff on them because each time you picked up a chip everything would fall off it- bc there was hardly any cheese. The one egg was rubbery and before I even finished my last bite my server took my plate like we were being rushed to leave. My partner ordered a burrito and was confused about the 3 chips on his plate- we learned those chips are just in case food comes out of your burrito so you can "scoop it up" with a chip. . overall, we will more than likely not go back, again the atmosphere was alright so if we do, I guess I will trying a taco...

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!

Stopped in for my bachelorette trip and it was such a cute and fun atmosphere for happy hour. I got street queso and tortilla soup. Both were delicious as were the margs!

Came here for a Thursday night dinner. Had 3 different tacos, a yummy drink, and the dip trio! Guac was limey and garlicky and each taco was fabulous. Love the container of salsas you get to try. The beet crema was so fun and delicious!

Still love DIego Pops! This time though I had a chance to check out their late night menu (reverse happy hour ) and it did not disappoint! After a work event, my colleagues and I were in the area and with little to no convincing, we decided on Diego Pops. The four of us were seated promptly and our server was on top of it from the get go. We went family style - the best way - and of course got the brussel nachos, personal MUST, aguachile ceviche, a side of guac and while everyone else got the crispy fish tacos (delicious), I opted for the late night crunch wrap- say less! At 8 dollars, HOW COULD I NOT?! It truly hit the mark and if I found myself out past nine more frequently, I would definitely be going here. Aguachile was good, had a nice kick, but not a stand out for me personally. The guac was also good, but a little boring for what I would expect from Diego Pops. Everything else was great, and consistently is. I also always appreciate the sauce caddy and the great line up from more classic salsa's, to twists like their beet garlic crema. Service was great, food came out quick, food was delicious as always and we enjoyed the fun aesthetic as usual. No notes!

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.

Best happy hour in Scottsdale! I love going here for a couple of tacos and a margarita. They do also have a little take out window on the side which is nice when they are busy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Food- fantastic- had the corn dip, 2 tacos and a burrito. Ambiance- nice- was here early on a weekday afternoon and was not busy Service- knowledgable about menu, friendly and super attentive. Really made our experience top notch! Drinks- good Price point for a weekday in a very slow Scottsdale- too expensive. 100 bucks plus tip for the price point wasn't worth the experience. Next time we will try and find the happy hour slot. We will be back but time it much better. We had "dinner" down the block at a similar establishment and same amount of drinks 2 tacos and a main dish for $68 plus tip.

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!

Great vibe and good food in this little gem of a restaurant! Great Mexican food, tacos, chips, burritos! All served by a super friendly staff! Indoor seating and outdoor seating with mist fans! Good drinks to top off a good meal.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Stopped into Diego Pops in Scottsdale for happy hour and loved it. Alex was an amazing bartender--friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Big thanks to Ryan for the assist. Drinks were tasty, service was seamless, and the vibe was perfect. We'll definitely be back soon

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!

diego pops was a wonderful spot for a thursday night dinner with my coworkers! we were in town and looking for a quick bite later in the evening, so we walked right on over and were seated immediately! we decided to share the aguachile ceviche, brussels sprouts nachos and a couple fish tacos. loved the sauce bar at the table, but i do wish they were a little stronger in flavor. loved the fish taco, thought it was super light and had a great texture! the brussels sprouts nachos were a fun twist and the egg was surprisingly yummy. very bright and lively atmosphere - would come again for a late night dinner if i was in town!

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).

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!

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.

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.
