Alma Scottsdale

Alma's didn't dissapoint at all! Had the pleasure of enjoying great food and flavorful drinks with an inviting atmosphere and perfect waitress. Christine was absolutely fabulous. Every suggestion she gave us was spot on and she checked on us often. You can't get any better with her and the level of service at Alma's. We can't wait to return when we get back in town!!!

Came for restaurant week and it was a vibe! Food was flavorful and salmon was cooked perfectly. The blueberry cornbread is a must have!

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!

Our server Maria was absolutely amazing. Even with a group of 9 people, all of our drinks and food came out super fast and correct. The food and drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was great. We would absolutely come back.

Spacious, with indoor/outdoor bar and patio seating. The service was amazing. We started work chips and salsa. Wow! There were three types of salsa from mild to spicy. All three are my favorites. Lol. I tried the pork chops and substituted the sweet potatoes for whipped potates. The meal was hearty,,, very filling. The restaurant is located within a shopping center. There is plenty of parking. Accessible entrances.

June 19, 2025 Repeat Visit When your out-of-town family says, “Take us somewhere local,” you take them to Alma. No hesitation. We were lucky enough to sit in Juan’s section again—our favorite server from a previous visit—and once again, he delivered next-level service with that perfect blend of humor, charm, and menu wisdom. Thank you, Juan! This time around, I went in a slightly lighter direction, starting with the Addictive Strawberry Salad—and yes, it lives up to its name. The combo of spinach, arugula, creamy goat cheese, toasted almonds, and juicy strawberries, all tossed in a bright raspberry vinaigrette? Some of my very favorite ingredients all in one dish? Yes, please! Chef’s kiss. We also shared the salsa trio—fresh, bold, vibrant, and the chips? Crispy perfection. Not a single crumb survived. My main dish was the Wild Mushroom Enchiladas and they might just be my new favorite. The herbed mushrooms and sautéed spinach tucked into those tortillas were rich and earthy, and the red chili sauce had just the right amount of heat. The side of southwest rice and sprinkle of pumpkin seeds made it hearty without being heavy. Oh—and I never skip the off-the-cob elote. Still obsessed. It’s got that buttery-crispy corn, chili-lime kick that hits every craveable note. Alma keeps delivering. And I keep coming back. No regrets. Just happy taste buds. May 9, 2025 First Visit May 10, 2025 Second Visit Is it a bad sign if you visit a "new-to-you" restaurant two days in a row? Maybe. But when the food is this good, who cares? Dinner Delight, well yeah! Night one at Alma started with drinks and apps. Juan, our awesome server, recommended the Blueberry Cornbread (hot, crispy, with honey butter) and Bacon Tater Tots (jalapeno bacon, cheddar jack, onion, chipotle crema, and tomato chili jam). Pro tip: Drag those hot tots through the cool tomato chili jam and I think your taste buds will do a happy dance. Cocktail of choice? The Spicy Chingona – prickly pear, lime juice, muddled jalapeno, and a mini sombrero for flair. The sweetness balanced the spice perfectly. We also tried the Alma Grand – a margarita with a DIY Grand Marnier pour, because who doesn't love drinks with a side of fun? Main courses didn’t disappoint. The Grilled Pork Chop (two juicy, bone-in chops with jalapeno bacon jam and charred veggies) was stellar. The Flat Iron Steak Fajitas with spicy pinto beans and warm tortillas hit every flavor note – perfectly flavorful medium-rare steak, smoky beans, and fresh guac. Brunch Bliss! Day two brought brunch, and since I’ve recently divorced eggs (long story), Aaron, our brunch guru, had me covered. The Chicken Enmoladas (no eggs, sub cowboy beans) were everything – soft corn tortillas, shredded chicken, and that Pumpkin Mole: smoky, sweet, earthy, and rich. It’s the kind of sauce that makes you pause and savor. On the side, the Avocado Toast with chunky guac, pomegranate and pumpkin seeds, and peppery arugula was the perfect complement. Alma has quickly become a new favorite. Food, drinks, and top-notch service – it’s worth the repeat visits. No shame. Just deliciousness.
