    We had AJ as our server. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Drink order was a bit delayed being served. Food arrived timely and was cooked to perfection.

    Visiting Scottsdale and saw Cien Agaves while walking around in Old Town. Booked a reservation, which turned out to have been a good thing. The food very great and the staff were all very friendly! Though, my fiancee didn't think our waiter was very attentive and I agree, which i agree with.

    Was disappointed as on my reservation I requested a standard table but instead they seated us at a bar top table in the bar. When inquired about our concern and what the reservation noted there was no immediate resolution.

    Busy even with a reservation on national margarita day but helpful service even though we waited in line to be served. Good vibe in restaurant and food was very good basic Mexican food. Would return as a couple and a larger party!
