" What a delightful meal! We visited La Ristra during a trip to Chandler, and I must say the food was top-notch. I loved the different salsas that are served with all meals; they really made the meal pop! We tried a variety of dishes, including the shrimp enchiladas and the carne asada tacos. Both were exceptional, stunningly laid out, and very satisfying. Although the service was prompt, it could use a touch more warmth. Overall, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food stole the show! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely blown away by the flavors in every dish! The carne asada was succulent and perfectly seasoned, while the enchiladas were layered with mouth-watering goodness. The environment was lively with great music playing. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, making sure we were happy throughout our meal. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what an experience! La Ristra is undoubtedly one of the best places to enjoy New Mexican food in town. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly. The array of salsas brought to our table was impressive—a perfect appetizing start. I indulged in the chicken enchiladas with red sauce, and the layers of flavor were incredible. It’s evident they take pride in their authentic recipes. The ambiance was lively, yet cozy. The only hiccup was slightly slow service, possibly due to the busy evening, but the food and atmosphere more than made up for it. We’re definitely returning to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try La Ristra for a casual family dinner, and it did not disappoint! The menu featured a great range of New Mexican favorites. I went for the stacked enchiladas, and my husband chose the carne asada burrito. Both dishes were seasoned well, but we both noted that the green chili wasn’t as spicy as we expected for a restaurant that specializes in such cuisines. The service was friendly but perhaps slightly chaotic due to the weekend rush. All in all, it was a good experience, and we would come back to try their brunch menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a place to experience authentic New Mexican food! The atmosphere is vibrant, with captivating decorations and a friendly staff that makes you feel right at home. I tried the chicken enchiladas with green sauce, and they were bursting with flavor. The three salsas included were a fantastic accompaniment. My only issue was that my dish was slightly on the smaller side, given the hearty appetite I had! That being said, I would still rate this experience highly, especially due to the warm service and delightful food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant caught my eye for its lively atmosphere, and it didn't disappoint! The staff was incredibly friendly. I ordered the blue corn enchiladas, and they were simply delicious—full of flavor and delightfully paired with their fresh salsas. The portion was generous, and it was a nice change to find a place with a good variety of New Mexican dishes. However, service could be improved, as there seemed to be delays in our orders. Overall, I'm looking forward to my next experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things, I finally got to visit La Ristra and I'm glad I did! The food was fantastic, especially the green chili mashed potatoes—an unusual but delightful touch. The open-air setting is quite charming. Service was good overall, but at times it felt like our server was too busy to check on us, which left us waiting for refills. Other than that, a great experience with lots of options for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
