The first thing that stood out to us was the ambience - the lighting, the open airflow, the Spanish music, the entire vibe was just perfect. We enjoyed our dinners (the fajitas did not disappoint!), and appreciated that there was a kids menu so our three children could find a meal to suit them as well. We would definitely come back here again next time we visit Scottsdale.

It had been a while since we had been to ALMA. The food is better than ever. Loved the chicken quesadillas. The cornbread is insanely delicious. Try the corn pudding for a real taste sensation. even the grilled salmon was a standout. Nice service. We will return soon.
