Cuisine: Mediterranean

Location: 3305 W Chandler Blvd, #8, Chandler, AZ 85226

 

We were greeted by a pleasant staff. Even though the place was crowded and busy, she still managed to put a smile. We were lucky that a table was available and seated fast. While menu was offered, we can’t help not to notice the other table as a staff holds a flaming saganaki (melted cheese appetizer) and he whooshed something to fire it up, it was quite entertaining.

 

We ordered pita first with hummus and olives plus the drinks which is served in a large glass (you won’t need a refill for sure!) Then for the main dish, Salmon (wild salmon fillet ladoregano served with vegetables) Vegetable Moussaka (sliced eggplant and tomato, topped with a white sauce and baked) and Roast Chicken Ladoregano (Half a chicken seasoned with lemon, oregano, olive oil served with Greek Potatoes and vegetables). The atmosphere was nice and the indoor/outdoor bar patio has a very cozy touch.

 

Pros: Delicious food and friendly staffs.

Cons: We had a problem sitting comfortably in the indoor area, because of the less space between the table/chair on a booth layout. And the wait for the food (afternoon lunch) was a little long.

We were actually looking for a certain restaurant and after circling the area twice, we found that it was closed already at that time. Then on the way to look for an alternative place, we saw Juan Jaime’s Tacos and Tequila. We decided to check it out. Outside they have a spacious patio then bar and dining inside. It was game night at that time, a loud “YES!!!” echoed, as the game just ended and the states football team won. It felt good to see such a spirited crowd.

 

We decided to sit on the dining area, the guys seated facing the large TV screen (sports was on the channel) and ordered beer and tequila, we ladies ordered house margarita each. It was surprising to see a great selection of tequila on the menu! They have lots to choose from. The lady who served us was nice and accommodating; she patiently explained and answered our curiosity. The tacos were great and the salsa too although it was not that spicy (one of our friends dig real spice) so we asked if they could serve something more spicy. The staff gave us a variety of small bottles of spices to add into it. After few minutes, one gentleman, probably the manager/owner gave us a green salsa which was a real hot! Definitely, they wanted to make sure that the customer is happy and surely we felt like a regular from our first visit itself. It’s worth visiting again. I recommend it especially if you just want to hang out, have a beer and eat light snacks with friends.
