Sumo Maya

Nestled in the upscale enclave of North Scottsdale at 6560 N Scottsdale Rd, SumoMaya Scottsdale reimagines fusion dining through a bold Mexican-Asian lens, where Chef Lorenzo López marries the fiery spices of Latin America with the precise artistry of the Far East in a vibrant, tapas-style spectacle. Opened in 2014 as a trailblazer in Scottsdale’s culinary landscape, this energetic spot—open Monday-Thursday from 5pm to 10pm, Friday from 5pm to 12am, Saturday from 10am to 2pm brunch and 5pm to 12am dinner, Sunday from 10am to 2pm brunch and 5pm to 9pm—invites locals and visitors to embark on a shareable journey of craveable small plates, making it a hotspot for brunch crowds, date nights, or lively group outings in Arizona’s sun-drenched social scene.

Step into SumoMaya, and the space bursts with eclectic charm—a massive faux tree anchors the central bar, surrounded by colorful murals, woven lanterns, and bustling communal tables that seat around 200, blending trendy energy with comfortable flow. The indoor dining area hums with a lively soundtrack of upbeat Latin-Asian beats, while a compact outdoor patio offers al fresco seating with views of the Scottsdale horizon, perfect for milder evenings. As the day transitions to night, the vibe ramps up with a subtle DJ pulse during peak hours and weekend brunches, fostering an animated buzz of clinking glasses and shared laughter among a diverse crowd of families, foodies, and after-golf revelers. The atmosphere is fun and approachable, ideal for a casual brunch, intimate tasting, or festive gathering that keeps the energy high without overwhelming the flavors.

The menu emphasizes seasonal, farm-fresh ingredients from Arizona’s boutique growers, spotlighting small plates that encourage 3-5 orders per person for optimal sharing, paired with a robust selection of tequilas (over 85 varieties), sakes, and cocktails like the signature Sumo Margarita ($16)—a zesty blend of tequila, passionfruit, and chili for a sweet-spicy kick. Start with the Traditional Guacamole ($16), creamy avocado mash with house totopos, cilantro, and lime—a fresh, customizable base that shines with add-ons like lump crab or pomegranate. The Hamachi Tiradito ($22) layers yellowtail fillets in passionfruit leche de tigre with lemon sorbet and corn, offering a cool, tropical zing that’s light and invigorating.

Seafood takes center stage with the Ceviche Clásico ($20), market fish marinated in lime with sweet potato, red onion, and cancha crunch—a vibrant, citrus-laced ritual. The Crispy Shrimp Taco ($18) arrives in soft shells with cabbage slaw, chipotle aioli, and mango salsa, a crunchy, spicy hand-held delight. Sushi fans unite over the Dragon Roll ($22), tempura shrimp and eel wrapped with unagi glaze and tobiko pearls—crisp and umami-rich. Mains include the Wagyu Short Rib ($32), slow-braised beef in ancho-chili glaze with sticky rice and scallions, tender and boldly spiced. The Grilled Octopus ($26) chars tentacles with romesco, chickpeas, and preserved lemon for smoky succulence. For fusion flair, the Arroz Nikkei ($28) stir-fries saffron rice with prawns, squid, and chili paste, a wok-tossed harmony of Iberian and Pacific notes. Vegetarians savor the Roasted Cauliflower ($16), spiced florets with tahini yogurt, pomegranate, and harissa for nutty, fiery depth.

Desserts wrap sweetly with the Churros con Chocolate ($12), crisp doughnuts dunked in spiced chocolate sauce—a warm, indulgent finale—or the Tres Leches Cake ($10), milk-soaked sponge with condensed milk and strawberries for a moist, tropical sigh.
