Call Her Martina – Modern Mexican Restaurant Scottsdale AZ

Call Her Martina is a small modern Mexican Bar and Restaurant located near the Scottsdale Waterfront and is basically across the street from the Scottsdale Fashion Mall in Scottsdale Arizona. They offer an all day menu with some appetizers that you don’t come across very often like ribeye chicharron guacamole, mini street elotes, and charcoal ribeye aguachile with chicharron. They also offer salads, tuna ceviche, tacos, tostadas, and entrees like charred octopus with squid ink risotto, a short rib, ribeye, and a wagyu beef burger. Besides the all day menu they also offer a brunch menu.

It’s festive and formal looking inside.

They start you off with complimentary tostadas and a trio of salsas (charred tomato, tomatillo, and chipotle)

complimentary toastadas and salsas

We started out by splitting the salad called beets in a cloud.

beets in a cloud – garlic goat cheese, beets, arugula, lemon zest, caramelized pecans

Nice light starter.

My husband made a better meal decision than me and had the cochinita cazuela.

cohinita cazuela – braised pork, pickled red onions, raw onions, cilantro, cabbage, frijoles with corn tortillas

The pork was braised nice. You can eat it like fajitas. It did need a little zip from the salsas.

I ordered the tuna fresco tostada.

tuna fresco tostada – tuna, salsa negra, suppose to have smashed avocado but mine didn’t, capers, crispy leeks

I guess you order the tuna fresco tostada when you are not hungry. I didn’t remember that this was suppose to contain smashed avocado or I would have said something to my waiter……So they made me the EXTRA LIGHT version of the tuna fresco tostada withOUT avocado. To be honest it does taste good with the creamy mayo, crispy leeks and salsa negra…….But there isn’t much to it. The salsa negra is also very thin but spicy and kinda like a vinaigrette. It’s the wet stuff on the plate. It was under the fish soaking into the tostada making it soggy. It probably works out better if they give you avocado.
