I thought we took more pictures! but definitely will be back and post more. I had been here before but never for brunch. Brunch was GREAT! Had the avo toast and it was delicious honestly, it was way bigger than I expected. My friend and I could have shared it and been full. We also got the bottle of champagne deal and we loved it. We would have loved if the dancers were out during brunch.. it was definitely a quieter vibe than we expected. But still would go back!

Taco Madera is truly a gem! One of the first things I appreciated is that their menu has no pork, which makes it such an inclusive dining spot for everyone. Every dish I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious—flavorful, fresh, and crafted with real care. The Branzino fish dish was my favorite—very fresh, the fish is so flaky and just tastes delish. The Shishito Peppers were also incredibly tasty. My husband got the Chicken Hot Rock with Street Corn and both were mouthwatering. The variety makes it easy to find a new favorite dish each visit. The atmosphere is just as memorable as the food. The decor is vibrant and stylish, creating a warm and welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger and enjoy. Whether you’re going out with friends, family, or even on a casual date night, Taco Madera nails it with both food and ambiance. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great flavors, a thoughtful menu, and an amazing overall dining experience!

I saw a lot of ppl raving about the spot on TikTok so I just had to try it for my birthday. It definitely did not disappoint. I got the tomahawk and the presentation as well as taste was excellent. I normally don’t like truffle but the macaroni was delicious and so was the street corn. Drinks were cute and poured generously. Service was top notch as well. And to seal it all with a bow they also give military discounts. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try

Went on girls trip with my sister girl! This was our first dinner night. It was a cute atmosphere very dark lighting but you can still see. They had entertainment, good food and drinks! It is pricey to me though. She always celebrated my engagement which was very sweet we both got fish, mashed potatoes and the starter was great! The calamari is a must.

Toca Madera in Scottsdale is absolutely stunning. Not only is the food incredible, but the atmosphere is an experience on its own — they have fire dancers and a live electric guitarist who walks around the tables while you eat. I ordered the Wagyu steak carne asada fajitas and they were perfection. Elenni recommends the sea bass and the al pastor tacos. Our server, Alejandro, was fantastic and really made us feel taken care of. I’ll definitely be returning.

On my last day in Scottsdale, I stopped at Toca Madera and honestly, I can’t stop thinking about it—it was the perfect way to close out the trip. We went for breakfast but also tried the fresh tuna, and oh my gosh, everything was so flavorful and beautifully presented. Our server was amazing—super sweet, attentive, and full of great recommendations that made the experience even better. The drinks were also spot on: tasty, refreshing, and with just the right amount of alcohol. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous—such a chic, stylish vibe that works whether you’re coming for brunch, a date night, or even just to enjoy great food with friends. It’s one of those places where the food, drinks, and atmosphere all come together perfectly. If you’re in Scottsdale, Toca Madera is a must-visit. Whether you’re with someone you love (or don’t!), it’s worth the experience. Definitely a highlight of the trip.
