The food is creative and fresh and full of flavor. Portions are substantial and it is a lighter, healthier take on Mexican. The menu changes seasonally and the drinks are craft with thought. The owner is very hands on and interested making a delicious and positive experience.

Alma truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was beautiful, warm, and inviting — such a perfect West x Southwest vibe. We ordered several dishes that immediately caught our eye on the menu, and every single one was a hit. The Addictive Strawberry Salad was incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced, the Truffled Mushroom Empanadas were rich and flavorful, and the Blackened Mahi Mahi was cooked to perfection with bold, delicious seasoning. We also loved the Butternut Squash Tacos and Fried Potato Tacos — so creative and full of flavor. To finish, the Blackened Mahi Tostadas were absolutely unforgettable. You can really taste the quality and care put into every dish. Portions were generous, presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were spot on across the board. On top of that, the service was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Alma is the kind of place you want to come back to again and again — whether for a special night out or just an amazing meal. Highly recommend to anyone looking for incredible food, great ambiance, and top-notch service in Scottsdale! We also went there for a brunch and it was amazing.

Service was slow to start with no server coming to the table on the first 10 minutes. The food was very good. The pork belly appetizer was excellent. I would get the barbacoa tacos over the birria quesadilla. The chicken mole was tender and a lot of food.

A fine meal at a beautiful restaurant. Don't miss the Lobster Quesadillas or Chicken Mole. And the Elote Lollipops are memorable. Nice space, good food and good service. Nice trifecta.

Beautiful location with some really cool outdoor seating! Definitely was a vibe inside with cool decor. Our food was amazing and the cocktails were delicious. Our waitress was pretty slow checking in when it wasn’t very busy but it’s ok. Would definitely come back for the cocktails!
