Great mexican food and great service. This was our 1st trip to Phoenix and just happened to find this restauant. The food was GREAT! There were four in our party and we were all tasting each others dishes! The veggie salads were so flavorful and different! We were seated as soon as we walked in the door by very friendly staff and the wait staff was always checking to see what we needed. My next trip back to Phoenix will include dining here again! If you are looking for some good, spicey, veggie mexican food, this is the place to go!

okay, but not all that. For a city like Phoenix, I expected the Mexican food to be better. Ajo Al's was average for my taste. It just wasn't spicy enough. Best Mexican food in the city? I don't think so. Perhaps Phoenicians are more geared toward bland Mexican food. Be warned: the dessert chimi had way too much coconut in it. The red salsa was good if runny.

Great Mexican Food!!. I eat out OFTEN in the Valley. This is one of the tastiest places I've eaten Mexican food at. It was recommended by a friend. Not sure what some reviewers are talking about. The place is always busy *and not just in the winter time with snow birds* so I guess most Phoenicians like nasty mex food? NO!! The menu is VERY extensive and the food comes in pretty large portions. I got the chicken Mexican pizza, and I dont really eat Mexican pizza's but this one was unique with a white sauce and it was kind of a deep dish light n crispy style. DELICIOUS!! I could only eat 2 slices after chips and salsa. I'm going there tonight!!

Ajo Lotta Nuthin'. Decent portions of uninteresting, bland, overpriced Mexican fare. Frequented by snowbirds and timid office groups seeking a joint that wont offend middle of the road tastes but winds up disappointing all but the least discerning, cheese-loving palates. Plan to spend part of your weekday lunch hr finding a parking spot down the street, while your companion waits in a line inexplicably extending out the front door. Service ranges from OK on weekdays to abysmal on weekends, when it's less crowded. Better Mexican food abounds within walking distance on Camelback Rd (Chipotle, Baja Fresh, Albertsons frozen food aisle) for a fraction of Ajo Al's prices.
