Executive chef Matt Zdeb’s unusual and tasty fare, finessed by Chef Lorenzo Lopez and sushi chef Andy Hisao Suzuki, is all about Mexican-Asian fusion goodness. Guacamole with pumpkin seeds and cilantro is mouthwatering and creamy, with chunks of avocado and red onion and a lingering heat from togarashi spices. The bacon-wrapped Medjool dates offer a striking […]

Oh, Shea, can you see the sushi? Some of the best in the Valley, in fact, at SonS. Since 1994, this pleasant, slightly upscale establishment in the Scottsdale Promenade has produced consistently fresh and perfectly crafted nigiri, maki and sashimi.

For over 15 years, Tacos Jalisco has been serving delicious dirt-cheap Mexican food on 68th Street near Thomas Road. Everything on […]
The Spanish-inflected steakhouse spilling out onto the second story patio of the Four Seasons in far north Scottsdale is impressive, as is the food within. Crudos cascade across plates in arcs of fish, fruit, and flowers. Salads often unite unlikely flavors, like coffee-roasted beets, vanilla, and bleu cheese. Even the peppered basketweave of iberico pork […]
