    We had been meaning to try Espiritu for some time and we’re not disappointed. The food was excellent. We had the Queso Fundido app, the adobo short ribs and the mussels. We also tried two of the specialty cocktails and were not disappointed. The only disappointment was that we made a late reservation and were seated adjacent to the kitchen window.

    The skirt steak with bacanora beans and whole red snapper are outstanding! Between the excellent food, service, and atmosphere, it's in a class by itself!

    Our preferred venue for Mexican food. Drove from Phoenix downtown to Mesa just to enjoy it. The food was perfect and Cici was a wonderful hostess.

    The cheese and tamatillo appetizer plus ceviche were great. Burgers were hood as well. Korean BBQ was too salty along with the included rice for my taste. The Phoenix cocktail was great as well Overall I'd not hesitate to go back.

    The noise level of the humans enjoying themselves may have been energetic but the MUSIC WAS TOO LOUD. Guests were practically SHOUTING their conversations. Whomever was controlling the music was playing to LOUD for their benefit.

    Wonderful cocktail program. Carefully prepared and delicious food. Service is very casual, but warm and thoughtful for the most part.
