Ladera Taverna Y Cocina - Phoenix

This restaurant is top-notch! The food is amazing, the music is great, and Miguel is the best! As a frequent customer of Ladera, I have a request to bring back the shrimp and citrus salad. The service is always friendly and admirable. Keep up the great work and everyone should definitely support this establishment!

This restaurant is amazing. With its charming ivy-covered walls, great atmosphere, and tasty menu options and cocktails, I will definitely be coming back for date nights more often!

This place has an amazing patio to sit out on and eat and drink when the weather is nice. The food is also quite good. I would classify it as fancy more expensive Mexican. We were celebrating a birthday so we had a larger group and were told they did not take reservations when we called days before but of course as we waited we heard people coming in with reservations. That was annoying as we could not get onto the beautiful patio area and had to eat inside on the gorgeous night.

Yummmm! I read the reviews which were great, so I took a friend there for girls night! We loved everything!! The restaurant itself is tucked away a bit, but is so cute comfy! We ordered nachos which were so good, and was a huge portion! I got the Carne Asada plate and normally I don't eat a ton of meat, but it was cooked perfectly and was so tender and juicy with great flavors! My friend got the taco plate- which she liked, and said the fish tacos were the best! The only downfall here was that she wanted the 5-taco plate but it comes with a shrimp taco and she's allergic and they wouldn't let her swap it out without an up charge which is a little unfair- but she ended up being very happy with the 3 instead! We also ordered the churros for dessert and they were served hot and fresh and were probably the best churros I've ever had! I'd highly recommend this place!

The carne asada burrito is delicious and flavorful, with no complaints about the taste. My only critique is that they have a lovely outdoor patio but do not allow dogs, which seems to be a common policy at other restaurants in the area.
