A satisfying, cozy Thai café on the city’s north side, Krua (“kitchen” in Thai) serves up nearly 80 menu items of traditional dishes as well as several more uncommon specialties. Some of the flavors are more cautious than you might prefer, but you can depend on the meats to be tender, the vegetables fresh, and […]
It may be a student-run cafe, but it’s from the talented chefs-in-training at the renowned Scottsdale Culinary Institute. Service can be a challenge (learning curve and all), but the food is usually topnotch, and prices can’t be beat (roast leg of lamb for $8.95). The menu is short but imaginative, with a selection of soups, […]

Inside, the extremely friendly chef, Edson Garcia, is multitasking, creating next-level tacos, sauces, horchata, and aguas frescas. Garcia — who has said he was homeless just a few years ago […]

This elote y neveria (corn and ice cream shop) also serves several tasty versions of raspados de fruta (snow cones), perfect for cooling off during the warm season.
As its name says, part of the restaurant is a mariachi hall. It’s unbelievably packed with musicians and dancers on weekend nights. But the other half of the place is a first-rate Mexican restaurant, specializing in seafood. Garlic fish is outstanding, regional soups are gripping, and when the menu says spicy, it ain’t kidding.

One of the closest things we have to a real New York café, except that the owners are friendly. The concept is order-at-the-counter casual, but the food is first-rate. Go for the tremendous meatballs, huge pizzas, excellent pastas, tasty heroes and fancier fare like veal scaloppine, chicken Francese and shrimp scampi. Read our review.
Scottsdale is mostly known in the food scene for its upscale restaurants that specialize in just about every type of global cuisine. What can be hard to find is an old-fashioned, down-to-earth Mexican joint where the food is good and cheap. Lucky for us, La Fonda Del Sol, located on the corner of Scottsdale Road […]
