“ Was dining yesterday as a part of a large group for an early dinner. Our server was great and handled everything like a pro. How she was able to keep track of who was who and who was paying together and such was impressive. The food was of the solid quality that I’ve come to expect from the Ajo Als restaurants. ”

When our youngest graduated from ASU, I didn’t think of any other place to get our event catered except Ajo Al’s. All our friends and family LOVED all the food and raved how good it was.

“ Lively restaurant with great fresh Mexican food. And don't forget the great margaritas! Plenty of parking. Chips are fresh and hot. I recommend the trio of queso, guac, and bean dip. I am addicted to the bean dip and calabacitas. Amazing place and the prices are reasonable. Friendly staff. ”
“ I asked our server about a particular dish and when he was explaining it, I stopped him and said I don't want something with a tortilla or deep fried. He suggested it could be done without and baked so that is what I ordered. It was on the lunch menu, Pollo something and was delicious, will get it again. Fred our server was superb! Hostess was cleaning the menus when we arrived which is a nice thing. Ask fir the hit sauce for chips, it is hit but has more flavor! ”
