Diego Pops · Restaurant · Scottsdale
Modern Mexican, margaritas, and an extended patio in a former pottery shop in Old Town Scottsdale
Diego Pops is Old Town Scottsdale's playful take on modern Mexican, a from-scratch kitchen inspired by taco and tequila-fueled conversations on the beaches of the Yucatan. It lives inside the walls of a historic Southwestern pottery shop on Scottsdale Road, and the room leans into that history with an open kitchen, playful decor, and an extended outdoor patio. This is where a Scottsdale night tends to start, and the crowd comes to graze, drink margaritas, and get moving.
The food is the reason it endures. The kitchen puts a modern, playful twist on Mexican favorites, and the Brussels Sprout Nachos are the dish everyone orders and talks about: Brussels sprouts built with street corn queso, queso oaxaca, fresno chili, pickled onion, roasted garlic beet crema, and a fried egg. Around them run classic and re-imagined tacos from al pastor to crispy cod, fresh guacamole, ceviches, and a seasonal watermelon salad, all made in-house and built for sharing.
The bar carries equal weight, anchored by the Diego Margarita made with 1800 Blanco tequila. Happy hour runs seven days a week from 3 to 6 pm and has become a neighborhood ritual, with half-off appetizers, $6 Diego Margaritas, $2 off beers, and $6 wine and sangria for dine-in guests. Tequila, tacos, and a patio in the Arizona evening is a formula that keeps the place busy.
