If you have a soft spot for German pancakes and are in the mood for a reliable diner breakfast, Egg N’ Joe is your place. The German pancake is baked in a cast-iron pan until the edges are a golden brown, crunchy, and start to curl in toward the yellow, center. When it’s done, the […]
You haven’t lived until you’ve tried El Bravo’s machaca burro. This small, pleasant restaurant makes some of the best flour tortillas around, and its green chile burros are hard to beat, too. It’s also one of the few places in town serving Navajo tacos, and popovers with honey and powdered sugar.

The closest thing Phoenix and/or Arizona has to a signature dish — aside from the much-battled-over chimichanga — is the Sonoran hot dog. When we’re called upon to make a case for the importance of this cherished street food, we look to the El Caprichoso Sonoran hot dog cart. Around for more than 20 years, […]
El Charro is more than a coffee shop experience. Husband-and-wife owners Francisco and Azul Peralta, former workers in STEM fields, have drawn from their world travels and aimed for more of a salon vibe. They hit that target. Sit at the bar, and unbidden, Francisco may pour you high-end mezcals, just so you can taste. […]
As much an eatery as it is a mad scientist’s laboratory, this offbeat spot on the city’s south side features Mexican and American ingredients and flavors fused together to create one-of-a-kind street foods worth sampling if you’re in the neighborhood. Start with the fiery asada chiltepin on street tacos, the green chile beef in home […]
Although El Chorro Lodge has changed hands several times since it first opened in 1937, some things are fixed in time: the rustic Sonoran Desert charm, the copper-topped bar, and the free basket of warm sticky buns. That’s right — no matter what time of day you dine, the server will grace you with a […]
On the hunt for top-tier Peruvian food? Head to either location of El Chullo. The original is located in the Coronado district, where the family-owned restaurant has been a go-to spot for arroz con mariscos since opening in 2014. A new location, just a few miles away on Seventh Avenue, debuted in the summer of […]

Outstanding Mexican food, not aimed at gringo tastes. Posole is first-rate, and the alb
Tuesdays are our favorite days at this bright and welcoming North Phoenix restaurant serving Jalisco-style Mexican fare. That’s when Maria and Mark Altmaier serve up their luscious chicken mole. Simmered for hours and with a list of ingredients that could fill a page or more, the Altmaier’s rich, thick, chocolate-tinged sauce can be had over […]
A magnet for bikers, barflies, and the blue-collar brigade, this rough-around-the-edges roadhouse in south Scottsdale features a nightly cast of characters that are just as colorful as the neon beer signs on its walls. From slick-looking billiards sharks engaging in nine-ball on the tables to the hippies and housewives playing board games around the horseshoe-shaped […]
The original El Encanto is a romantic Old-World Mission-style restaurant right in the heart of Cave Creek. Nestled alongside a pretty pond under a covered patio, this Valley perennial might be the only place in town where you can mingle with playful ducks, turtles, owls, and a blue heron while you eat. And what eats! […]
This cash-only, family-run food truck serves fantastic Sonoran-style hot dogs until past midnight most nights on West Indian School Road.
There’s something uniquely appealing about Peruvian cooking, with its subtle spicing and its celebration of complex, tangy flavors. The menu at El Farol is compact, but you can still get a sense of the native cuisine from offerings such as cebiche de pescado (tilapia marinated in lime juice, cilantro, onion, and garlic) and saltado (beef […]

El Gallo de Lagos Taqueria is the kind of family-run strip-mall hole-in-the-wall that is a taco-lover’s dream. The restaurant delivers a very strong assortment of tacos, including al pastor cut off the trompo, and luscious, melty buche (pork stomach) tacos. The restaurant is also known for its birria, tortas, huaraches, flautas, sopes, and quesadillas. Only […]
Along with an ingenious invention called table taps, self-serve beer taps of Coors Light and Dos Equis at each booth, there are a few decent food offerings to go along with the good times in this Mexican-themed bar and restaurant in Scottsdale’s entertainment district. The Sonoran-style menu, created by former Noca sous chef Steven Smith, […]
The Tempe spinoff of this “super macho taqueria” features everything that its sister location in Scottsdale is famous for – from the array of eight signature tacos, Sonoran-inspired “Hefe Hot Dogs,” and potent
Horseshoe Restaurant is the very definition of a hole-in- the-wall restaurant, in the best sense of the term. The small Mexican restaurant on Buckeye Road is inelegantly sandwiched between a mass of carburetor and machine shops, but don’t be too put off by the location. The restaurant happens to be a fine destination for Mexican […]
