CPK won’t be putting indie, gourmet pie joints like Cibo or Pizzeria Bianco out of biz any time soon, but this La-La-Land-based chain is still reliable on many fronts. The service is attentive, and the menu offers many options besides the signature CPK pizzas, though these are by no means terrible. The “Tuscan hummus” appetizer […]

Stick to shared plates like lamb meatballs or the Calistro flatbread – topped with tomatoes, mozzarella, and pesto – at this “farm to table” bistro at north Scottdale’s DC Ranch Crossing.
From the outside, Call Her Martina looks like any other business in the fancy Scottsdale Waterfront strip mall. But inside, customers embark on an experience. Take a seat at a table in the modern black-and-white-themed dining room, snag a space at the bar, or hang out with friends at a large group high-top underneath glowing […]

This ultra-luxe steakhouse features classic prime-grade meat, veal chops and fresh seafood, served in huge a la carte portions with huge traditional side dishes (the mashed potatoes and roasted mushrooms are magnificent). Come dressed for a power meal, and be prepared to leave quite a bit poorer, but happy.
A mash-up of a sub shop and a pop culture museum, this fun little neighborhood eatery has been a favorite with Phoenix locals for more than 30 years. From advertising icons to oversize household items to hundreds of nearly-naughty bumper stickers and customer photos covering every square inch of space, the d

Owner Marina Carbajal has taken her family’s Las Cruces recipes and brought them to a strip mall in far east Mesa. The results are superb Sonoran-style Mexican food, all homemade, and some of the best of its kind in the Valley. Top picks include machaca, green chile beef, alb
New Mexico-style Mexican food served in a cave-like setting, complete with bats and gushing waterfalls. The kitchen sends out nothing but winners, from traditional favorites like carne adovada and blue corn enchiladas to nifty platters like pork osso bucco and chicken breasts stuffed with sun-dried tomato, spinach, pepper and feta. First-rate margaritas, too. Read our […]
For 15 years, diners have been lining up to order salads and sandwiches at Carla Wade Logan’s café on Roosevelt Street. But the cocktails here are first-rate, too. The Prickly Pear Margarita is hot pink and ice-cold, a must-try for visitors to the desert or those just bar-hopping on a hot day. The Whiskey Sangria […]
This Central Phoenix coffee house – located in a vintage 1940s house on Camelback Road in Arcadia – is a favorite for its warm, cozy interior, interesting artwork, and freshly brewed java (using Lux beans). But what has us returning again and again is the full menu of breakfast and lunch items. Carmel’s Coffee and […]

The Peoria Carolina’s is the third location of this Valley favorite and is just as good as its two siblings. Order anything involving a tortilla, especially the Oaxaca Special, a breakfast-minded mix of chorizo, bean, potato, and cheese, wrapped as a burro. Delicious menudo is sold on weekends, and house-blended chorizo is a specialty here. […]
This south Phoenix staple is a true come-as-you-are restaurant. It is almost shockingly bare-bones. There’s no decor on the paint-chipped walls, no music. The stark white building’s entrance leads straight to the ordering counter just above a scuffed wall. But those shoe-marked baseboards speak to the many overeager diners running up to place their order. […]
A second location of this legendary Valley restaurant, Carolina’s has a cult following for its out-of-this-world homemade tortillas. Folks line up to gorge on green corn tamales, enchiladas, red machaca burros and, on weekends, menudo. Breakfast burros are another delicious treat.
