Unfortunately my family didn’t like their pizza. The dough was saggy and the cheese had a weird texture. They use the same oven to make pizza but they said that they were careful not to touch the regular pizza.

The establishment features an outdoor patio with misters; the staff were friendly and provided a wide selection of food, including gluten-free options. While my chile relleno was satisfactory, the rice and beef were dry. The beans were flavorful, and the fajita burrito was excellent. Although somewhat pricey, the generous portions of rice and beans compensated. I would consider dining there again.

The food was just okay. The ambiance was overly dark, and the paper walls desperately need an update to freshen up the place. There were no fresh flowers, and the tables were uncomfortably close, making it easy to overhear neighboring conversations. While the music was beautiful, the song selection felt random and didn't align with the atmosphere, swinging between disco party and romantic dinner vibes. In 2023, when most restaurants offer gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free options, Mastros' menu remained surprisingly simple and lacked descriptions of the dishes. Additionally, there were no gluten-free bread options, and it seems that the mashed potatoes might have contained dairy, despite mentioning my dairy intolerance, which led to immediate bloating. Regarding the service, it left much to be desired. After 30 minutes of dining with full plates, and no indication that we were ready to leave, two waitresses approached us separately within a 5-minute interval, asking if we needed boxes. It felt like they were rushing us out the door. The waitstaff was overly talkative, making it difficult to understand their explanations, especially with the loud music in the background. Overall, the dining experience was disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend returning. If you want to enjoy Mastros, I'd suggest visiting their Las Vegas location instead. P.S. I've noticed other disappointing reviews here, and it seems they don't pay much attention to them. They simply suggest sending another review to the link below, which doesn't seem to contribute to improving their food, service, and ambiance. This is especially concerning since a robot responds to all reviews with less than 3 stars.

Dinner was amazing!! The atmosphere reminds me of Paris and the shrimp crepe with a gluten free crepe was incredibly delicious!! Yum!! They even had a kid menu to color on with some easy activities too. Also had the Nutella and banana crepe for dessert with the gluten free crepe and that was tasty too. It wasn't nearly as amazing as the shrimp crepes, but maybe that's because the shrimp crepes were insanely good.

Every single thing about my special birthday dinner at Mitch's on El Paseo was top-notch! My parents out of state sent flowers for the table and their experience in working with the folks at Mitch's was as enjoyable and smooth as our dinner was! Emily was our server and there simply are not enough words to describe how her fantastic attention to detail made our dining experience the best we've had in years! She was attentive but not hovering, she knew the menu and wines well and was very helpful and knowledgeable about the gluten free options I needed for my food allergy. Her help in choosing a wine was so fun and easygoing while being very informed. The food was amazing! Every one of us loved our meals. We came early and lingered and were never pressured to leave to turn over the table. I had read so many reviews at different restaurants and there seemed to be so much inconsistency. It is very apparent that the leadership at Mitch's takes the time to not only train staff well but to treat them well. We'll be back and definitely telling friends in the Valley (and visitors from other states) about this gem! Thanks Mitch's for a fabulous birthday dinner experience on your gorgeous patio! :)

Come and enjoy everything desserts are perfect. Everything is handmade here by a family. It’s two sisters and a mother. You should definitely come and enjoy their holiday spiced wine. You really can taste the love in the food. I come here all the time and I can’t believe I’m just now writing a review. I love their white balsamic coleslaw. All their desserts are amazing and I don’t typically eat dessert. They don’t do a lot of sugar and they almost do gluten-free I believe.

The service was good. The stars in my review are for the service and for accommodating my food restrictions. I just wish that I had been informed of just how much my dish would change. Perhaps the server could've made an informed recommendation. Instead of "we can make any dish gluten free". It was very plain in both presentation and ingredients. (no sauce, no prosciutto)

I didn't realize this restaurant was open to the public and when I found it in the neighborhood of Hwy-74 at the end of Ironwood street, I was thrilled. It has a very pleasant tropical ambiance, much different than other golf courses I've visited. The people were all having a great time with a familiar vibe throughout. And the food was AMAZING!! The chef even prepares gluten-free options for special dietary needs! I'd highly recommend the shrimp tacos, they were fantastic! And the Happy Hour menu is great, very reasonable prices and lasts everyday from 3-6. I will definitely be back with more friends. And the nighttime entertainment is great! We found a gem in the desert....

We thought this was a sushi place, more like benihana. So we asked to sit away in the lounge for a normal dinner. Sushi was fine. Yellowtail collar was solid. They gave me option of putting quail egg on top of ikura. Sake decently priced. Lots of kids, loud. Pricey for the quality. At least they had temari for gluten free. 3.5/5

Had lunch here a couple of times with my family. The food and drinks are excellent! I had the pulled pork Tacos which are very generous in size. The hand made corn tortillas are excellent and made to order. I have celiac disease (gluten free) and they were able to accommodate this just fine. A new favorite place on El Paseo
