Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Central Scottsdale

Really enjoyed Richardson's, love the vibe at the restaurant. A little problem with the food in that something was requested not to be put on the plate, which the waiter noted, and yet it appeared. The dish had to be taken back and fixed. Since we were with another couple we asked for separate checks which was denied. We were told that the best they can do was split the check in half. Very odd in this day. Something I think they need to fix.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Great location. Excited to come back!

The staff are always so accommodating. My guests were vegan and they had such a wonderful selection of offerings. Everything was perfect!

I’ve long been a fan of the food at Z’Tejas - I used to go to their Tempe location near ASU and the one in the mall at Scottsdale. Some things that are good that have remained good: the food! Their shrimp tostada bites (app) is beyond delish! The bite-sized tortilla chip they are on is light and crisp and it’s served with guacamole, aioli and a seasoned, grilled shrimp. Serving was 8, now you get 5 for $14. Definitely Yum! The mushroom enchiladas were delish as well as the ancho chili fudge pie! Words can’t describe how yummy it is!! Things that have changed- service. Our server was nice enough but didn’t offer us the complimentary cornbread that comes at the start. After our dessert he mentioned it. He only checked back once, didn’t give refills (asked someone else) and he told us the seasonal veggies were squash - but we received Brussel sprouts (yuck!). Paul the manager did comp us the dessert (at my suggestion) which we appreciated. It used to be served with a generous dollop of handmade whipped cream. It was also cold in the restaurant. I would still give it a shot again & hope for better service.

Great happy hour menu. Everything was delish but the sushi was my favorite. Blood orange margaritas were so yummy. I will bd back!
