The five Ochoa sisters who own this cheerful Mexican diner use old family recipes passed along by their parents. The rule of thumb seems to be to use only fresh ingredients, not canned stuff, to prepare delicious dishes including carne asada, handmade tacos and burritos cabeza, and camarones. Their menudo draws crowds, and their secret-recipe […]

The Lost Leaf is part beer and wine joint, part arts-scene culture hub. Occupying a historic Fifth Street bungalow mere steps from Roosevelt Row, the walls, rafters, and bathrooms are adorned with works by local creatives. A nook beside the bar and a backyard stage hosts musicians and DJs across every genre. And it’s a […]
In-the-know diners come to this well-regarded ethnic diner for authentic African cuisine with Caribbean influences. African food is traditionally very spicy, but one can adjust the heat on pretty much every dish. Equisi soup, a slow-cooked Nigerian concoction featuring pounded yam and rich chunks of goat, is a winner. Likewise the thyme-infused oxtail soup, a […]
Craft beer bars are pretty similar: large beer selection, local stuff, lots of taps. Lovecraft kicks that up a notch and injects a dose of personality to the Phoenix craft beer bar. Its theme is New Mexican. Fiery chiles lace the mac-n-cheese, lobster bisque and burritos, and a ristra dangles by the entrance. Its small […]
Is it possible that we can love a restaurant more than we love Loving Hut? We think not. That’s because this super chain does something with gourmet vegan cuisine we can’t find anyplace else: they turn wholesome ingredients into a repast that’s not only good for us, but tastes amazing, too. Currently the fastest-growing vegan […]

Luci’s Healthy Marketplace specializes in organic and natural foods – sort of like a pint-sized Sprouts, minus the produce department. It’s bright and airy inside, with a stylish retro-modern theme, a coffee bar, and a Viking Test Kitchen, where they offer cooking demonstrations. For a neighborhood market, Luci’s is pretty unique.

There are plenty of reasons to cruise into this swank South Tempe sports bar and billiards haven to grab a drink or catch the game. First off, you won’t find just any old ramshackle pool tables inside the place, as it’s stocked with six gleaming, high-end Spencer Marston tables made from solid hardwood. Sharks and […]

“Upscale” and “bowling alley” aren’t words that you often hear in the same sentence. Until Lucky Strike Lanes opened at CityScape, that is. This California-based chain isn’t your typical bowling alley, full of church groups and old people smoking cigarettes in a dingy lounge. Nope, Lucky Strike is far more posh. A dozen lanes for […]
This sparse but tidy home of Cantonese cooking in Glendale comes courtesy of Kitty and Kwok Pat, who have been part of the Valley’s Chinese restaurant scene for over 40 years. With more than 100 items in their Chinese menu as well as several specials (listed in Chinese) on dry erase boards covering the restaurant’s […]
Homesick for Chicago, or know someone who is? Take your taste buds on a trip back at Luke’s of Chicago, an Arizona restaurant that originated in the Windy City.

For more than a decade now, Lulu’s has been tempting us with authentic, Guadalajara-style cooking, including dreamy cocido, a traditional beef stew. It’s as full-figured as a voluptuous señorita, the broth gorged with soft zucchini, celery, green pepper, fall-apart-tender beef, onion and corn-on-the-cob halves. Lulu’s also charms with homemade tortillas, seafood cocktail, and a fresh […]
