Love this place. Sad the Tempe AZ Mill Avenue location close. But great drinks and food!

Great place to party after 10PM. Reserved a table and it was a great experience! Highly recommend for birthdays or special events.

Best club ever!! Always a good time, never a disappointment

Excelente venue, get it while you can. This is the place you might meet your wife at or your next mistake. Your choice. Contact them for a private booth to really ball out. Either way youll go home happy, thats it you remember the night.

It was quiet when we ate there. The food was good, I had the carne asada fries, delicious.

Social distancing was a huge factor this night and El Hefe went above and beyond. Great service

Such good customer service always a good time here !!

The decor of this place is very nice. The pink lighting made it look like a rocker set off an Avril Lavigne music video.It wasnt too crowded on a weekday. Service felt a bit slow, but maybe they were just busy cooking everything fresh. (?)I was able to try their tacos. They warn you the tacos are small, and yes, it is true. However, on Tuesdays you do get a cheaper price of about $2.50 or so per taco. What really set these tacos apart was they were not dry and in fact they came out very nicely seasoned. I liked how they sprinkled in some vegetables, perfectly paired with some yummy sauce! I downed my tacos in no time! I also never heard of fried avocado, but I gave that menu item a try too. It was amazing!

Great vibe, high on energy and good food! Wanna escape the Phoenix weather, well hop in at El Here. I had the Fried Avocado Tacos - never saw these before. They weer decent, and did not hit the spot, though it was just fun trying something unique. And clubbed with the Don Julio Anejo, I walked out happy!

We went in for a college football game and it was nice that it felt like a full event featuring the team. Ive only gone once before at night and though its not my scene it seems like other people were enjoying it. The game was at 9am and I enjoyed the setting much more for the day time. The menu for things does seem a bit over priced for what it is. We decided not to eat there for that specific reason. Over-all everyone was pretty nice, and it was a pleasant time.

I absolutely love their taco! I wish they would bring back my favorite shrimp taco. My friends and I come here pretty much every Friday for happy hour and Sunday Funday. The food is yummy and its always a good time.

Happy hour $2 dollar tacos are huge portions and taste delicious!!

I love this place! Its a very fun atmosphere and their carne asada tacos are amazing!

Stopped in for drinks on a Sat night and we all had a great time. Drinks were strong and the DJ was awesome with a good variety of music.

Cant speak to the food because I didnt have any, but the signature drink was awesome! Love the setup as an outdoor space.

Look closely...This place will charge you 3% extra to use a credit card and they will call it a “technology fee” on your bill. That is unacceptable.

I was a little disappointed with the size of the tacos and felt it was not worth $10 for two palm sized tacos that didnt come with any sides. Also nobody knew what this mysteriousTech fee on my receipt was. Never seen that before but it wasnt much. After looking into it I could have paid with debit to avoid this fee. Aside from that the food was really good and staff were friendly and attentive.

There is a dress code for certain people for example, I couldn’t get in because I had sneakers on but, if you look inside you can clearly see hundreds of people wearing sneakers. Also people behind me were let in with sneakers on and when I asked security about it they got really aggressive. They told my group we were “crybabies “ super professional.

This place can be PACKED LIKE SARDINES AND WILD. It has a vibrant patio scene as well. It seems like a lot of the bars and clubs on this street seem to come and go. This is a very hot area. This place has stood the test of time.

Went for lunch at around 2pm. There was plenty of parking spaces. Restaurant was almost empty at the time. Menu appeared somewhat expensive, specially for tacos and side orders. Had some tacos and the only one worth trying was the fried avocado one. It is something different, and it does have a sweet sauce wich brings out some of the flavors. Ordered a side of charro beans, and they are more of a refried beans type, with not too much flavor. No restaurant made spicy sauce either. I was giving a couple of hot sauce bottles.They do have a big bar, and it appears that they have djs and music in the evenings.

Security is so AGGRESSIVE here. Honestly been here twice and hated it. If you are out of state prepare to have the cops called on you.. feel embarrassed.. just go to other bars honestly there are so many better ones.

Appealing primarily to younger adult crowd, very much a 5 star experience. Suggestion, during day times see what you can offer to the tourist and older crowds. Just because some one is 80, Doesn’t mean they can’t boogie!

The bar was fine, but one of the bouncers kept hassling our group. He was so busy flirting with a patron, that instead of doing his job, he threw out a member of our party who told him that a jacket that was left on a chair belonged to a member of our party that was standing 5 feet away.

Came early to get a couple drinks, not busy at all just a few people. Tyler good bartender excellent with the hospitality making sure everything was ok. The liquor and beer . Im pretty sure food is ok, dine in or out or just to hang with your friends is a chill place nice environment, ladys look beautiful but dont be shy when on the clock you never know who could be walking in that door. Overall would recommend to anyone new in the area. Cheers

Fun great prices on food and drinks!!

This is NOT a sports bar for Bears fans. They say they are and thats a joke!!!!! Any break in action causes the audio to stop and punk, rap and other obnoxious music blasts away! Service staff is average, at best. Prices are out of line even for Old Scottsdale. STAY AWAY BEARS FANS.

I’ve been here once when visiting because it is in chicago and I was curious about this location. Service wasn’t great and neither was the food. Not a fan of El Hefe’s all over. It’s the same thing, bad service and bad food. Also,in Chicago, they are getting a lot of heat for allegations of roofying and sexual assault Of two women, with the establishment claiming the victims are 50% or more at fault. Just overall, nothing good about the establishment and not worth supporting the company.

We had a great time. Staff was very friendly. Drinks are amazing.

Had an amazing new years here! Excellent staff and ambiance!

Came here for a meet up for happy hour which was 4-7. Great service. Very good looking servers. Would come again!

Very cool place. The drinks were really good!

I would of left 5 stars but due to security being so aggressive towards my boyfriend I’m only leaving 3 stars. They were not trying to let him in because they claimed he looked too intoxicated, after we told them we haven’t even had a drink yet they started to find other reasons on why not to let him in. They told him he wasn’t in dress code. After a few minutes they finally decided to let us in. Once we were in we had great time.

I think this place would be great for kids but being 65 years old oh, the music was way too loud and I could barely hear my friend speak. But Im sure all of my children would have loved it.

Its a fun place to meet people, dance, drink, and celebrate birthdays. Make sure to reserve a table if you have a big party. Best music in terms of feel good and being relevant! Fun spot

The first that served me was real nice. I dont know if she left after my second drink but the other guys were really weird like I felt ignored the entire time. They were all busy talking behind the bar like thats not even cool. Somebody needs to slap that bartender dude with those cheap looking tattoos.

The staff is so nice here and the food is excellent

I actually enjoy coming here! The staff is always friendly, well some of them. A land the atmosphere is always fun. Little more wiggle room here too.

The vibe is crazy in there! Loved it

We were in town from Canada for my sisters bachelorette party. This was our favorite bar in old town Scottsdale. Very good drinks and good music.

They try to rip you of by charging more than the menu, saying its a weekends thing, then get a weekend menu. They even add an additional fee for them. What a joke!!!

Great atmosphere, delicious mexi-merican food and drinks with great happy hour deals

We came in for Sunday funday. It was my friends birthday. We have come in before and it does get pretty crowded if you dont have a table. The bottle service girls there are not as friendly as they are at some of the other bars around old town either. For a sunday it is one of the only clubs not playing hip hop though so that is always a good reason to go back.

My favorite place to party since I’m 21 now!!! Love their staff and drinks!

I would stay away from this place. I have been there several times and it seems worse every time I go in. First of all it is really small and difficult to walk around in. Second the drinks were a joke. I ordered a vodka Sprite and Im not sure if they just forgot the vodka or not, so i asked them to make it again (and got an attitude for it). When I got it back it was worse than before. I literally just left it on the counter, paid and walked away. My experience with rude bartenders has been pretty consistent every time I have gone in there.Also really disappointed with the crowd they let in. Old Town used to stick to their dress codes, but the last time I was at El Hefe on a Saturday night, there were people walking around in flip flops and ratty sneakers (not Jordans but more like old gym sneakers), and wearing clothes you would expect to see on Mill Ave or a dive bar, not in an Old Town Scottsdale club on a weekend.The worst experience I had, which I wont go into detail on since this is a Google review, was lets just say an adult x rated situation that was happening at one of the VIP tables and everyone could see it happening. Several people reported it to security AND management, and they did nothing. My entire party, and several other people who were horrified that no one was doing anything about this, decided to leave as that is not what we expect to see in an Old Town club in full view of anyone walking by.Overall I would just say, avoided this place at all costs.

Went to watch a recent UFC fight here that was a truly great experience. The service and staff were great and even with the bottles being locked I had a drink in my hand the entire night. Getting through the bar when you needed too was easier than other places in old town. Probably the best place for bottle service in old town.

Honestly I have never felt discriminated against until my visit to this bar this weekend. And from the looks of all the other negative reviews they lack customer service. There are so many other places to go within steps that I will never be returning.

The art work in this place is to cool!! Food is amazing!!

Great food and fun with friends. It’s loud with great energy

No matter what day of the week this is a place to party until this past weekend (labor day weekend) when I took a group and we were told we had to pay the door men $20 a person just cause 1 of our 9 had jordans on. We were told no other Club would let us in for the same reason and it was only 10pm so we should pay now, needless to say we partied in EVERY club that night bahahahaha... Thank you to the bald long bearded greedy door man for the recommendations

I love this place. It was my first time at El Hefe Mexican Restaurant but it definitely will not be my last. The food is amazing, the location is amazing. I really want to go back soon.

Fun place. Good food.

Sunday funday, Live DJ, Mimosas and belinnis, delicious tacos! Football on tv! Great service! Awesome place!

Very fun at night! Get a table!

It a good place to hand out whit friends

El Hefe, this is pretty explanatory isnt it you came here to get drinks dont lie it wasnt the tacos. Appreciate the tequila selection and the friendly pours of the bartenders. be careful and be sure to get a Uber or taxi as you will most likely be over the limit when you leave this place.

This place was hopping even on a tuesday night. The whole downtown was hopping on a Tuesday. If your under 35 go have fun. The kids seem to follow each other from one night club to the next. El Hefe was banging most of the time we were in town.

Always a great place to go and get a drink.Good music, reasonably priced drinks, attractive staff.

This was spot #2 on my bar walk similar prices and layout to the Riot House. This place was more laid back.

3 stars for the music. Drinks were bad. And I’ve never been charged an additional $5.50 for ice when I order my drink on the rocks. And i ordered a double. Ended up being almost $30 for one drink.

Good bar food, great time with friends.

Really hate to give bad reviews, I certainly understand the restaurant business is difficult. But after paying $50 for some bad snacks and a drink, I just feel the need to help others. And yes, I realize this is basically a bar serving bar food but the macho nachos were pathetically whimpy with basically no meat. The margarita was watered down, and the fish taco contained 1 small, overcooked piece of something that was supposedly fish? It explains why there was 4 people in the entire place while every other restaurant in the area was packed. We literally paid our tab (server never asked about the food) and went over to Mr Mesquites to order tacos. Small portions, high price, indifferent staff.

Really good Mexican food and huge drinks. Friendly staff. Worth the stop in.

Was expecting much more! The food was blah, and the drinks were weak and watered down. Staff was good.

Nice for friends birthday. Gets crowded fast. Cute guys and girls that wirk there. Ok music. Small dance floor. Good drinks. A night out.

The menu is the same but the servings and flavor is different compared to the el hefe in downtown Tempe. Here o got a bigger portion of guac with my chips but the tacos were much better in downtown Tempe. The vibe here is more of a bar while the other location is more restaurant type.

Just okay... Over Priced Weak drinks.

You get 5 stars free firv3 years been telling Google maps that I have not been here

Great restaurant. I will love to come back here again. The food and drinks are awesome

3rd go to spot in old Town

Good food u should check it out

Great food with a positive party invioment!

I love the feel of this restaurant being a new twist on Mexican. Food was great, but parking was a bit of a problem. They do offer valet, but Id rather park my own car.

Good drinks... gets pretty crowded...but has a good atmosphere. This location attracts the Scottsdale element so if youre not into those type of people this probably isnt a place you want to go

My first time was an unfortunate mess. I was there around 10pm on a Thursday and they weren’t busy at all, Maybe 12 or so people at the bar. Both bartenders walked past me and ignored me as I tried to order a drink. I was told the Margaritas are very good here. After 15 minutes of no help I walked out. I do hope next time I come back I have a better experience but for now I wouldn’t recommend this bar.

Not many people there when we arrived made me doubt if food was good but actually food was excellent! Service superb even with a large party of people.

Amazing nightclub that appears to be hopping on the outside. Was really looking forward to trying their food. BUT the issue I had was that they would not let all of us in. At least not the males in our party. Only females allowed. Bizarre. We went across the street to another club and had a blast. Unfortunate

They use to serve the best spicy jalapeño margaritas!! Wish they would bring it back. Food is okay, great spot to hang out with friends

This location is really small, so there isnt much room to even stand on the weekends. They do different themes which is cool, but the drinks arent great for what you pay. Of all the bars in the area, this is probably my least favorite.

Wow....I got peanut allergie so I can’t go in because they saw me feeling bad just 5 minutes before...I didn’t drink all night long but I was “to drunk” to go in ! Nice security guys, really awesome for real, really professional! What a great night

One of the better bars in the area. Smaller in size and this leads to a better experience. Great staff and great tunes. Go here.

Best tacos ever.....

Great music and atmosphere

El Hefe is amazing! It is one of my favorite bars to go to not only for the parties, but also for how amazing the tacos are. El Hefe always has a good crowd with good vibes. The music the DJ plays is always unreal and gets the crowd going! I highly recommend this place!

First time going to this bar since I’m new to the area. St. Patrick’s Day evening, so it was a busy night. I was waiting at the bar for 15 minutes to only get a glass of water, and the bartender serving didn’t even acknowledge my existence and skipped over me several times. When I expressed my frustration, she then continued to lash out at me by scolding me like a child and refused to help me. I understand it was a busy night, but constantly skipping over a customer, not acknowledging my presence, and then yelling at me and refusing to serve me because I expressed my frustration is not ok. I suggest the staff gets trained in customer service because they clearly have none. I will not be returning to this location.

Love my RHG family! If you are over 21 definitely put this spot on your list

What a great line up of fantastic tacos. The flavors are awesome...had pork, chicken and beef...all three were perfect. Bar is great. We will be back.

Check under the seats they have those sticky rat traps and I ended up getting food poisoning from here. I had a girlfriend who worked there and if you could see the kitchen you would never want to eat there

Place is always load and packed.....so Perfect if youre trying to mingle

Went out with my boyfriend for a night of fun and drinking. We were told to check out the strip of Old Town for it was the place to visit if we wanted to have some fun. We were highly disappointed. All the bars played the same EDM/Dubstep like music. The drink wells are about $7 a piece at each bar and werent the best of drinks. We went home early due to the lack of variation of music and weak drinks. If you like constant EMD/Dubstep music, youll like this bar and many others in Old Town. It just wasnt for us.

Ok. Overpriced, but good music.

Danced and drank water with my girl. Loud music, fun time ️

Was there tonite and ordered the Tuesday drink special 2 pinnacle vodka $4 each and the specific bartender tried to rip off twice by charging us more. And then when we tried to confront her she kept on yelling its vodka, vodka without telling us the brand. Then on top of that she tried to call the security guard over to try to get us kicked out. Security guard came over and just told is to go order from another bartender. Bottom line she is stealing from the El Hefe, she is entering in the drink special into the system but then charging the customer the higher price but likely pocketing the difference in cash. Too bad because the bar is pretty dope on a Tuesday night.

Fun place to watch the Cubs in the world series! Definitely had to yell to talk with people. Nice staff and good location. Slow on Wednesdays.

Used to be the spot to go to about 4-5 years ago, and somehow it has still survived despite the build up of mega bars in old town. I would still prefer this place over all of the bars around it but it is not as good as it used to be and the service has gone downhill... Getting a drink at the bar on a Sunday is almost impossible, especially if you have a food order as well. The hot dog and tacos are still good though, just the service can definitely use some training.

Its in the entertainment district. It was a good place to stop in and grab a drink & appetizer. It was a great for people watching.

Place was fun but the bartender Cameron took extra tip for himself. I saved my receipts and went back to check my account bc a charge didnt look right, turns out he took $4 instead of my $2.50. Sad...

Great location with good food. Staff is decent and it was kinda small inside. Fun time none the less.

The way my friends and I were treating here was absolutely disgusting. The bartender refused to acknowledge us and we finally had to ask the girl next to us to order our drinks for us. The only way we got our drinks was to have someone else order them. I could not believe that we were being treated this way. I will not be back.

The horchata was great and the food was good.

The best fried avocado tacos around!
