Convenient carryout featuring authentic AZ-Mex food at taco-chain prices. Try the green corn tamale with green chile sauce, or the chile relleno; both are delectable and filling.
From the outside, this place looks like your basic Mexican restaurant strip mall storefront. But inside, the kitchen is turning out central Mexican dishes that you won’t find elsewhere in town. Check out huarache, gorditas, sopes and the alambre con queso, all variations on a corn masa theme. The more familiar items are also well-crafted, […]
So much grease slides off the flautas here that you could probably start a fire with it if you were so inclined. So is that a bad thing? Hell, no. Particularly when it comes to Mexican fast food. El Norte
El Palacio Mexican Restaurant is part of a small, family-run chain with deep roots in Mohave County. The only Valley-based outpost of the chain is situated in a suburban Chandler shopping center. The impressively sprawling menu – seven pages brimming with all manner of Mexican dishes – doesn’t make up for the lack of fresh, […]

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 […]

Directed by executive chef Beau MacMillan, Elements celebrates high cuisine in bold, uncomplicated style — fancy fare that leaves pretension at the door. The ever-changing cuisine is seasonal American, but with gutsy Asian accents. Specialties include fresh seafood, organic produce and dramatic dishes like prime beef carpaccio with maytag blue cheese and smoked walnut vinaigrette.
In West Phoenix you might find the pickings a little slim as far as locally-owned coffee shops go, which is why people are especially grateful to have Elevate Coffee House in the neighborhood. The coffee house and lunch spot offers breakfast eats (think classic morning meals such as bagels, oatmeal, and a croissant sandwich) as […]
