Pepe’s serves Mexican food that tastes like it was made in a Mexican village. They make enormously flavorful dishes, especially the riveting chicken mole enchilada. Green corn tamales are also first-rate, as is the Taco Monterrey, one stuffed with shredded beef and egg.
It’s our own little Whistle Stop Cafe, set in the heart of an industrial park/salvage district. Hard to find but worth the effort, this clean, quaint, country-style truck stop tempts with down-home chili, meat loaf, chicken-fried chicken, and amazing breakfasts (delicious biscuits and gravy, huge omelets, pancakes). Read our review.
This cheerful, family-owned breakfast and lunch spot in a strip mall off Greenway Parkway delivers a satisfying selection of breakfast and lunch fare with daily specials that are worth your while. Featuring homemade staples of solid American favorites with a few unique twists, the light and delicately sweet pancakes with a whisper of vanilla are […]
After building a following at the Uptown Farmers Market, Jason and Katherine Dwight, a married chef-butcher and baker, opened a restaurant in late 2019 that is intimately driven by local farms and ranches. Reclaimed wood slabs gleam in the Central Avenue restaurant. Fitting the rustic dining room, much of the small plates and a few […]

This is the place to go for stunning Persian, Mediterranean, vegetarian, and vegan cuisine. Herbs and spices take center stage, adding spark, and sometimes shock, to stir-fries, stews, pastas, and chicken, fish and lamb dishes. Fresh and healthful is king at this low-cost cafe.
An excellent option for diners wanting to experience a bit of international adventure without being intimidated. The space is gorgeous. Ingredients are upper-class (filet mignon, Cornish game hen, mahi-mahi). Dishes are familiar to everyone, focusing on kebabs, with just a few daring offerings like gheimeh (stew) or adas polo (basmati rice tossed with raisins, lentils, […]
If you can stomach the Disney-esque lifestyle of this manicured master plan on the edge of New River, you’ll find some perfectly good, all-American food served in a country-club setting. Lunch or the all-day bar menu are your best choices; dinner tends to be expensive, with little value returned.
Chef-owner James Porter serves up scrumptious French onion soup, escargots, steak frites, and other homey bistro fare at this truly petite neighborhood spot, planted on a remarkably quiet block in otherwise bustling Old Town. The affordable menu changes frequently, making Petite Maison worthy of repeat visits. If you sit at the bar, don’t be surprised […]

Picture this: You’re parked in front of a ginormous HDTV watching football, when, suddenly, as if from the ether, a hottie appears with a Philly cheesesteak and a frosty pint of Modelo Especial. Finished wiping the drool off your keyboard? You’re probably thinking that no such magical Shangri-La actually exists but it does, and it’s […]
At this unassuming Vietnamese restaurant with a quick-service slant on the city’s west side, we received some good advice on how to best enjoy a bánh xéo ($4.35), or Vietnamese savory crepe: Wrap pieces of the crispy, fried creation — made of rice flour and filled with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts — in lettuce […]
It’s easy to appreciate this no-frills Vietnamese restaurant in North Phoenix as much for its mostly satisfying food as for its owners, Phat Pham Tan and his wife, Hien. With the initials standing for America and Vietnam, Tan’s two loves, Pho A.V. offers a small menu of traditional Vietnamese dishes that are simple in their […]
A few things set Pho Avina apart from the usual bare-bones, strip-mall ethnic joint. The cheerful décor is one; the exhaustive menu is another. Along with standards like pho and all kinds of seafood dishes, this place serves a variety of roll-your-own spring rolls, lots of vegetarian dishes, sweet boba drinks, and a dozen banh […]

This Vietnamese restaurant is a very welcome addition to a stretch of McDowell Road better known for a multitude of Mexican eateries. The must-try on what is an unusually manageable menu (for a Vietnamese restaurant, that is) is the banh mi ($2.95) sandwich, perhaps the best of its kind in town, featuring a juicy barbecued […]
Pho Thanh Restaurant started off as a one-room show. (True heads still brag about slurping pho and chowing banh mi in those modest early days of the place; bigger props if you dined at Pho Bang.) Then it became two rooms. Then three. At some point, a connecting boba spot materialized. In a way, the […]
2013, the 44-year-old brewer lost his battle with cancer, leaving brewers and beer lovers saddened by his passing.
