We had a group for Saturday lunch. Got there at 12 but bartender wasn't there until around 12:30 so we didn't get our drinks until around 12:45. Food was delicious with a couple items being a little too spicy to eat. I wanted to like the habanero pomme puree but dang they were spicy. The pork belly tacos were amazing but I had asked for corn tortilla because I have a gluten allergy and didn't realize until halfway through mine were flour. Didn't feel great that afternoon :( our server was great and everyone seemed to have a good time. I'll be back, just have to be more specific with my food choices.

Great food, drinks, and service! Ambiance was lacking and we felt a little awkward since we were the only party in the restaurant. We love the food and have been here a few times but we are always the only patrons, which is a bummer.

We we’re excited to try a modern latin American cuisine restaurant - pictures look great on Open Table but are unfortunately deceiving based on our experience. Ordered the queso with skirt steak and avocado. The queso tasted like Velvetta and Rotell and havd very little steak and avocado. Our Lemodrop Martinis had little to no vodka. The salmon tacos only had salmon in a corn tortilla…no cilantro or anything. The ceviche was white fish and a green sauce - not good. The complementary house made chips and 3 types of sauces was the best part of the meal. The price of the meal was very reasonable but quality of food was poor. The atmosphere was contemporary and inviting….

Scott, it is disappointing to hear that you didn't like your experience with us on Friday. I would love to discuss what went wrong with the quality of food and how we can improve it in the future. If you want to contact me via the message I sent you I would be happy to discuss ways for us to fix it.

Vecina was a wonderful surprise. I read an article that praised the restaurant and especially the ceviche. The location is a little odd and awkward to get to unless you’re coming west on Memorial Road and know where to turn. The ambiance and furnishings are well done. The food was great, most flavorful and delicious. We had mussels which the waitress recommended and they were a hit. We dredged the scrumptious bread through the sauce. The salmon tacos were delicious, and we had the black beans simmered 24 hours with a bit of pork, and the corn as sides. Even the chips and salsa were special. I understand that a revered chef in Phoenix is the genius behind the recipes. Vecina is worthy of your visit. You will not regret it. Really special!!!

The food was GREAT! The waitress did awesome! I got the skirt steak tacos with potatoes and corn, it was spicy but so full of flavor and delicious. The place was so empty and I’m not sure why.

Considerable understaffed. Took over 30 minutes to get first drink from the bar. Had to repeatedly ask for it. Others at the table had to wait more like 15 minutes for their bar drinks.

Went there for a birthday celebration. We ALL loved the food! Layers of flavors and delicious! We tried the fried chicken appetizer and the puréed bean dish both delicious. For dinner we ordered the pork chop, shrimp dish and the mussels - all so flavorful. The pork chop was huge!! Finally we ended with the banana bread and peanut butter sauce and we also not disappointed. Our server was also fantastic! We were so happy to have tried a new restaurant in town and we will now become regulars!
