 Avgolemono means "egg and lemon" in Greek and, at Athenian Express Café, it also means "absolutely delicious." Lemony chicken broth with yellow rice and diced tomatoes and chunks of tender carrots make for a delicious soup and an order of spanakopita -- spinach and cheese triangles, all crispy a... More >> |

 We used to stay far away from chain restaurants, but Baja Fresh has changed our minds about that "has to be ma-and-pa to be good" cliché. High tables, a wide open kitchen, and brightly lit black-and-white interior make us feel right at home. We love the fresh-made tacos, burritos and enchiladas (... More >> |

 Comfort food is the order of the day at this local downtown favorite. Grilled cheese sandwiches with provolone, thick slices of bacon and pear, and cheddary mac and cheese are tastefully tweaked and yet still say "home in my jammies!" Parmesan French Fries with a tomato-studded marinara sauce... More >> |

 We don't know why other people go to the Arizona Center, but we go for Café Roma's meatball parmigiana submarine sandwich. It's delicious, made with fresh-baked bread for a great crusty-chewy combination that's piled high with juicy meatballs, tangy tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella. For s... More >> |

 Tucked into the basement of a downtown office tower, this well-kept secret is one worth sharing.

The quesadillas with chicken or steak are perfect, and we love how, if you want, you can have your burrito as a salad-the same great ingredients, heaped on top of fresh-cut, crispy... More >> |

 Phoenix's pro sports franchises have a way of stomping all over your heart.
