The first dinner is on Wednesday, February 3, at Macayo’s Mexican Grill & Cantina, located at 11107 N. Scottsdale Rd., with Celebrity Chef Eric Justice and Fortaleza Tequila as the featured Tequila.

Guests will enjoy a specialized four course menu created for dinner; each course will be paired with Fortaleza Tequila. Cocktail hour starts at 5:30 pm on the west patio with dinner to follow on the newly renovated south patio. Reserve a dinner for $40 a person or $70 a couple, space is limited, please make reservations.

Celebrity Chef Eric Justice is back by popular demand, last fall Chef Eric Justice sold out his tequila dinner.

“We are looking forward to a wonderful night,” said Matt Verhoeven, general manager of Macayo’s Grill & Cantina. “Chef Eric Justice sent guests wanting more. Eric is also responsible for many of the Macayo’s Grill & Cantina’s Chef Inspired dishes on our new menu.”

As an engaging and tenacious chef, Justice is known for delivering a remarkable experience for the independent restaurants and guests that he entertains. This year he will be serving the silky smooth, sweet and a little spicy, Fortaleza Tequila, one of the world’s best tequilas.

“Tequila has become more of an integral part of the dining experience at Macayo’s, we are excited about our Tequila dinner series and have even added a Tequila window at our Scottsdale location. We feel Tequila is a wonderful component to our adult beverage and preferred liquor program. I am especially proud of our recent Tequila certification by CONSEJO REGULADOR del TEQUILA for 8 out of our 12 restaurants and over 100 members of our team have this certification! This identifies Macayo’s as one of the few companies with an entire restaurant certification,” said Sharisse Johnson, CEO of Macayo’s Mexican Kitchen.
