Nando's in Queen Creek is exceptional. The staff are always warm and friendly. They are very accommodating to my mom who is a widowed snowbird and remember her every year! Always eat on our last night in AZ before heading back to MN.

Absolutely great place for Mexican food in Queen Creek. I tried a new meal they have, the Hatch Picado Dinner. It is fantastic. It doesn’t show in my pictures but it comes with either corn or flour tortillas.

First time visit, I noticed during our wait (about 40 minutes) the front of house ladies were always smiling and efficiently doing their jobs. The food was wonderful as was the wait staff. I noticed the gentleman whom was behind the bar for part of our visit then jumped in to ask us how our drinks and meal was, in addition to busing tables. We noticed a lot of take out and many pizza boxes which seemed odd for a Mexican restaurant, but when we asked the waiter about it and he recommended the blanco we ordered it for home and whoa-delicious!! We’ll be back.

Just an overall pleasant experience! Totally recommend. The chips and salsa are yummy and they offer large portions right off the bat. The people are super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The lunch specials are affordable and appetizing.

First time there. Not many gluten Free options. BUT what they had... excellent. Service very good. Vanessa was a wonderful server. Thank you so much Vanessa, you made the experience there an extra good one. They have a little card that tells you the gf items. Servers seem to know what you are talking about. Staff was kind and helpful. No complaints. Will go again while in the area.

Google maps said “not too busy” and it was, in fact, busy. We sat at the bar and ordered take out; we ordered a flight of margaritas (3 drinks, a great deal for 13) and a beer while we waited. The margaritas were excellent, couldn’t be better. I don’t want to be hard on the food, because it was tasty and well prepared. I recently moved here from the Tex/Mex border, and I visit Mexico frequently. All that to say, if you’re looking for the authentic Mexican food experience, this isn’t it. However, it has amazing vibes, great customer service, an open patio, and great bartenders. I ordered huevos rancheros, she ordered a flauta. We didn’t expect it to be actually ONE flauta, so we had a good laugh when it arrived. We still got full, it was a lot of food. For two meals, a beer, and the flight of margaritas, we spent about 55. TLDR: great food, service, and atmosphere. But if you’re homesick and hoping for the authentic traditional Mexican taste, this isn’t it.
