There are only two things on the menu at this hole-in-the-wall Tempe Mexican joint: hot chicken and beef. Not only are your dining options supremely limited, but they’re supremo delicioso as well. And, if you ask us, there’s only one way to enjoy it: the Combo Platter. Packed with half a roasted chicken, a huge […]
There are endless taco options in Phoenix. El Rinconcito del D.F. is one of our favorite spots to visit, thanks to tender carne asada and al pastor and incendiary red and green salsas. But, El Rinconcito is more than a taqueria. It serves a wide-ranging menu throughout the day that includes burritos, tortas and huaraches. […]
Just west of 39th Avenue and Indian School Road, you’ll find the El Sabroso food truck. With it’s large circus-tent-like red and yellow awning it’s easy to spot from the road and more reliably open than its neighbor, El Exquisito hot dog stand. We love to pair El Sabroso’s Sonoran hot dogs with a cold, […]

When the weather’s hot almost year-round, adding a swimming pool to a bar makes perfect sense. That’s exactly what the proprietors of Geisha A Go Go and Spanish Fly thought when they opened El Santo Cantina y Mas in Scottsdale. The spot features a 2,800 sq. ft. pool, a plethora of chic VIP cabanas, a […]
El Tataki Sushi is an airy, sit-down restaurant and bar. The sleek restaurant specializes in Mexican sushi, although the menu also carries traditional Japanese sushi rolls. House specialties include the Tres Quesos, a three-cheese roll stuffed with crab, avocado, and cucumber, and the Guamuchilito, a shrimp tempura roll made with ample amounts of cream cheese […]
Featuring the cuisine of the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, and not for the faint of taste buds. While traditional choices (tacos, burros, etc.) are available, the signature items include excellent whole fish, barbecued goat, and regionally inspired temptations like marrow, guts and brain. Read our review.
High ceilings, a tile-roofed kitchen facade, and a lovely, lush back patio make El Zocalo one of the best-looking neighborhood Mexican restaurants in the Valley. The location’s charming, too — right in the middle of downtown Chandler’s San Marcos Plaza. And the menu? It’s all good – homemade tortillas, thirst-quenching margaritas, and rich, savory mole […]
A sunny yellow-and-hot pink exterior, a flashing neon open sign and glowing window frames, and bright Loteria-inspired artwork hint at the explosion of flavors on deck at Emilio’s Tacos & Hotdogs on 19th Avenue. Customers on the go can pick up their orders at the drive-thru, but we recommend grabbing a table either inside or […]
Espiritu is the sister restaurant to Bacanora, which quickly shot to the center of the Phoenix food scene with Sonoran dishes that captured a crowd and made the Grand Avenue spot one of the hardest reservations to get in town. If you’re looking to taste the food imagined by Bacanora’s lauded chef Rene Andrade – […]

You’ll have to hunt a bit to find Extreme Sushi. The small, counter-service restaurant is tucked into the corner of a sprawling strip mall near 43rd Avenue and Thomas Road. But if you’re game to try new things, it’s worth the effort in order to sample unusual Mex-sushi rolls like the cocodrilo (the crocodile), a […]
We love an old-timey Mexican restaurant, tucked into a residential neighborhood-an old-fashioned, unpretentious place that’s more about good frijoles than it is about “concept.” We love us some real, tummy-filling Mexican grub-tacos, burros, enchiladas, rellenos, and tamales made like our mom would have made them if she’d had the decency to be from Guadalajara. And […]
Most of the Tex-Mex selections offered by this fun but noisy Houston-based operation are strictly turista. But the fajitas — served sizzling-hot and smoking — are absolutely wonderful.
Stop by this Mexican fast-food joint for tacos, burritos, tostadas & quesadillas.
Elote (simply put, corn) has gained favor in respected restaurants, making its way onto menus for about $5. So, sure, you could say it’s trendy. But head down to South Phoenix and there lies the mecca of Mexican street foods, with prices equivalent to the streets. Instead of serving corn on the cob, Fruitlicious slices […]

Fusion fare tends to be on shaky ground, particularly in the fast-casual sector. But we have to admit that Gilbert’s Fusion Burrito offers a solid meal, especially at such an affordable price. The fact that there’s a drive-thru window gives the operation all the more appeal. The menu includes creations that range from “Okay, that […]
