    We celebrated my mother's 81st birthday with an enjoyable lunch. We started with the guacamole and salsas with chips. We lived the tomatillo salsas and the guacamole was also very fresh. The Asada Quesadilla was a large portion and their Asada is amazing. We also had Santa Fe chicken, Pork chop Chorizo and a Blackened chicken salad which were all a 10!

    We love Richardson’s. Luckily we’ve been going for years and last night was not a FIRST impression for us. Hostess……not friendly at all. I’d you don’t like your job, don’t be a hostess. Waitress was nice but talked super fast and couldn’t hear her at all and the place was not crowded due to the holiday. Those were only issues. Again thank god it wasn’t our first impression of such a great place!!

    Enjoyable experience each time we go. Servers are attentive. Do not appreciate valet parking being pushed on us. We prefer not to have strangers drive our vehicles and were told by one to park our vehicle across the across if we were not using valet. Ridiculous.

    Always love the food at Richardson’s - they were a little off over the holiday weekend. Egg shells in one plate. And we had the server that won’t discount the split plate service even though we ordered plenty of drinks and food

    There were SOOOO many flies. No one came to meet with us upon being seated. After about fifteen minutes someone came by. We just ended up taking off.

    Valet, staff, food and service were exceptional. My only slight complaint was the lack of a host when I arrived, I waited for a few minutes with really no direction of who to talk to. Once the host arrived we were quickly seated.

    We were a party of 5 and everybody found something to order. We shared the onion rings ( phenomenal) and the roasted garlic, which was disappointing. Our entrees were: the relleno platter with beef and duck, the chimayo chicken, the Santa Fe chicken, a burger, and the New Mexico enchiladas with smoked turkey, beef and chicken. Everything was well cooked, seasoned and fresh. We shared the tres leches, and was soft but firm, full of delicious tres leches sauce. The ambiance was great and the service was prompt and pleasant. We’ll definitely go back while in Phoenix.

    The food is very good and interesting flavors. The evening specials are expensive. Our server was very friendly and she knew the menu very well. She did a great job
