About This Spot

Ajo Al’s Mexican Restaurant is a laid-back, family-owned spot that’s been serving Sonoran-style favorites in the Valley since 1986, with two convenient Scottsdale locations. Their happy hour is all about value: think $5 beers, $5 mini frozen margaritas, and a lineup of tacos, dips, and flautas that make it easy to turn snacks into a full meal. The vibe is casual and welcoming, great for families, groups, or anyone craving chips, salsa, and a strong marg after work. Don’t miss their famous frozen Montezuma margaritas, spicy jalapeño bean dip, and street tacos if you want to sample the good stuff without spending a ton. It’s the kind of place you can roll into in flip-flops, grab a booth or bar seat, and make any weekday feel like a mini fiesta.

Worth every penny

This is what happy hour should be. Al's House Montezuma Margarita was incredible - you can tell they use quality ingredients. The Carnitas Street Taco was the perfect complement. Can't wait to bring friends here. Best Mexican happy hour in town.

Impressed overall

Good vibes and good drinks. The Al's House Montezuma Margarita was one of the better ones I've had lately. Spicy Jalapeño Bean Dip was solid too. Place gets busy so come early if you want to snag a good seat. The Mexican food here is legit.

Absolutely perfect happy hour

Came here for happy hour and was blown away. The Michelada was perfectly crafted and the Cheese Crisp disappeared in minutes. Service was on point and the sleek indoor space really sets the vibe. Highly recommend! The Mexican food here is legit.

Don't sleep on this place

5 stars isn't enough. The Al's House Montezuma Margarita alone is worth the trip. We ordered the Carnitas Street Taco too and cleaned the plate. Atmosphere is cozy and the staff genuinely cares. This is the real deal. Best Mexican happy hour in town.
