Mamá Por Dios, nestled in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a lively Mexican restaurant that pulls diners into a vibrant celebration of life. Guests rave about the welcoming atmosphere, highlighted by attentive staff and unexpected surprises, like complimentary shots for special occasions. The buzz of cheerful birthday celebrations fills the air, creating a fun backdrop for a meal.

Reviewers have adored the flavorful dishes, although opinions vary on the execution. Sara Isengard praised the salmon, while others noted some dishes, such as the chicken, lacked moisture and flavor. Despite mixed reviews on specific entrees, the enthusiasm for the churros and inventive cocktails remains consistent. Many diners appreciate the energy of the DJ, who enhances the celebratory vibe.

This place is amazing. Johnny and all of the staff were so great! They even brought us shots for being on a third date and it was very unexpected but such a nice gesture. The atmosphere was great for any event! The food was amazing! I ordered the salmon and my date ordered the branzino. We will be back very soon!

Please ignore the average rating of 3.7. This place was great! Food was fantastic, drinks were delicious, atmosphere is fun and the servers were attentive and friendly. There was music the the background but nothing that stopped or impeded the conversation. It did get a bit louder when they would turn the music up for a birthday celebration, but it always went back down afterwards. All the birthday celebrations in the house made it fun too. It was by no means a quick meal. However, we wanted to enjoy the evening and take our time and we enjoyed not feeling rushed. We will definitely be back. This place definitely deserves plenty more five star reviews! And for background information, party of four, dined at 6:00 p.m. On a Saturday.

So much fun!! We came here to end off the last night of our girls trip and the atmosphere, vibe, music, service was 10/10. The staff went out of their way to make our experience memorable the amount of energy and effort put behind bringing out the food and drinks, is really appreciated. Experience wise it was lots of fun. Food was okay not the best Mexican food. Dry flavorless chicken and portions were on the smaller size still edible and not bad. The hot-sauces also come in a shallow dish that is not practical, although the churros were soft and delicious. Experience definitely made up for the food so would still visit again

This was our first visit & we truly enjoyed celebrating some birthdays here. The food was scrumptious, the drinks were great & the DJ was on point! It was worth the long drive from SE Phoenix. The only thing we weren't too impressed with was the fact that we were only allowed to split the bill 2 ways, even though our group consisted of 5 couples. Other than that, I highly recommend this place & can't wait to visit again!

Pretty cool experience to try once! Super loud.. you literally can’t talk. Not for kids or old people! lol but super fun for birthdays or special occasions! Highly recommend! DJ, bright lights, bottle service style, and cool photo ops! Also you can’t split the bill. :)

Great experience! I read the reviews ahead of time so I was prepared to flag down my server, pay 7 for water, etc etc but that didn’t happen at all. Our waiter was very attentive and checked on us multiple times, glass of water was free, loved my bathtub drink! And I thought the atmosphere was fun with the music and dancing. The prices weren’t bad, I paid 40 for mixed skewers which were amazing and it came with salad, rice and beans. My friends and I had a great time. The only thing I would change is the strobe light that was above our table sometimes would get really flashy and that was hard on the eyes. Luckily it only did that a couple times while we were there for a few hours. I would definitely go back.

Before I ever head out to a restaurant, I check the reviews. This place does not have a 5 star review. After reading up on the comments I felt like I needed to try this place out myself. It is a Monday night and slow but the place feels so alive! The drinks are made to a perfection, as well as their Filet Mignon. I had mine made to a perfect Medium Rare. Service was on it. Making sure I was ok during my wait, making sure I was satisfied with my meal, making sure my drinks were well takin care of. Johnny my server and his crew for the night did an awesome job. Im from California and I'll definitely be coming back and bringing friends!!

Went in Saturday early for our reservation. We were promptly seated. Our server’s name was Daisy. She was very sweet and attentive. Came to get our drink order right away. Continuous refilling water cups. She recommended the appetizers we ordered that besides the presentation being amazing was sooo delicious. Took our food orders and got it out to us very fast. This place was an entire vibe from service to the food to the decor in the restaurant. It was my birthday weekend and I was brought a shot from staff dancing and singing. The drinks are smoking and sooo good I will definitely be back. 10/10 for this place.
