“In our strategic plan to grow the brand, we are very cognizant about bringing Macayo’s to new and growing communities throughout the greater metro area,” says Nava Singam, owner and CEO of Kind Hospitality, the restaurant group that operates Macayo’s. “We are very thankful to the City of Queen Creek for the warm welcome and being very supportive throughout construction. We look forward to becoming a part of the Queen Creek community and providing them with our handcrafted Mexican food and memorable dining experiences for many years to come.”

Macayo’s Queen Creek is the eighth location to open since Kind Hospitality took ownership of the brand five years ago. This location features a wrap-around porch-like dog friendly patio that boasts an indoor/outdoor bar with garage-style doors. Macayo’s Queen Creek opens at 10 a.m. Sundays to serve the church community and early birds. Cruz Olivarez serves as general manager. Born and raised in Mesa, Cruz began his career in the hospitality industry in 2011 and has been part of the Kind Hospitality family since 2021.

Macayo’s has been a beloved local dining establishment for 77 years and counting. The brand continues to grow and evolve under the Kind Hospitality umbrella. Serving diners the traditional, authentic recipes that have been handmade since Macayo’s inception while providing unparalleled guest service is a brand trademark that Kind Hospitality has been meticulous in maintaining.
