    Totally disappointed with our dining experience. Service was atrocious & really ruined a special occasion. We were celebrating a graduation with 8 of us and our waitress was barely available. We had to ask for her several times in order to order our meals & drinks. Two & 1/2 hours into dinner she was nowhere to be found & we had intended to order dessert. We got the bill & left. Other tables were celebrating & their servers brought a dessert w candles. I felt embarrassed because I suggested this restaurant & it didn’t live up to the expectations. Will not be back.

    HORRIBLE!! If youre looking for good mexican food at reasonable prices, avoid this place at all costs; the drinks are overpriced and weak(when a bartender has to measure every cc?? really), when the noise level is deafening and overcrowded in the bar(should have called the fire department?) and the food is certainly nothing to write home about! In other words; WE WONT BE BACK!! Horrific service and the staff certainly needs to pay attention to detail! EVERY CUSTOMER COUNTS!

    Marilyn, you have issues at all of our restaurants and cause issues when you come in. You had issues last New Years Eve at Pescada and caused a scene and had to be escorted out with your husband after threatening our manager and another guest. Please don't come back to any of our restaurants (Including Soul Cafe, Vic & Ola's, Pescada, and Little Snitch)... we are so glad to hear you wont be back. (For all the guests reading this, Marilyn came in on a Monday night, we had a small bar crowd inside ALMA, we are a huge restaurant and its fun to be lively!)

    We always love the Alma food and service are always top notch! The price point is good too. They changed out their Chardonnay choices and I love them and I am picky! Always the best to see the same cute hostess she always sweet greeting us and efficient . I think she’s been there about 3 years now. We will see you again soon!

    Best happy hour in town. Live the tacos and the guac. Steak fajitas in the main menu always spot on. Outside patio is shaded and one of the best. Great for Scottsdale temps
