Great Mexican food starts with high quality ingredients and careful preparation.  At Top Shelf Mexican Restaurant, our kitchen gets busy early every morning making fresh salsa and hot sauce, slow cooking our meats, and hatching fresh green or red chili for our succulent sauces and entrees.  Are you hungry yet?? You are sure to be delighted by our Sonoran style Mexican cuisine.

Very good service and the food was delicious. Being from out of town it was a nice surprise.

We went to Top Shelf because we had a coupon from our Entertainment book for a buy one, get one free entree. When we got to the restaurant, we hung out in the waiting area for a few minutes before the hostess came to seat us, but we enjoyed looking at the fish tank while we waited. Our waitress was nice and kept our drinks filled and the food was pretty good, but maybe a little pricey for the portions. When the bill came, we gave the waitress our coupon. She brought back the bill and our kid's meal was the one given to us free. When we asked, she said she tried to give us the second adult entree as the free meal, but the manager wouldn't let her. She then had the manager come talk to us, but he wouldn't budge on the matter. I have never been to a restaurant that considers a kid's meal to be an entree.



It seems this company is more concerned with making a couple bucks than good service that brings back return customers.

Just plain awful! You are seated at a dirty table while waiting for it to be cleaned...you look around and notice half of the staff on their cellphones or taking a cigarette break on the patio. Then...for your smoke infested server comes to "clean" your table by pushing the crumbs off your table to the floor! Food is over priced, and commercialized, served to you after it has been sitting under a heat lamp. Restrooms are filthy! Either no soap in one, or to use the other bathroom (one stall) in cantina...broken handle, hand written sign that specifies to "hold handle" to complete flush! Overflowing trashcan of paper products, no toilet paper or seat protectors! For a place that has other locations, I would go elsewhwere...Peoria. nevermind ordering a drink or refill...it will be another 30mins and my buzz will be gone!

Good Food, But........

We used the Entertainment Book to try this restaurant. My wife had the shredded beef tacos and I had cheese enchiladas. Both were very good. The salsa were excellent and the service was good. Before you order Mexican beer to go with that great food, check the price. I didn't realize I was in North Scottsdale. Over $4.00 a bottle. BS!!!!!
