Taqueria El Chino may look like just another bare-bones counter service taqueria, but the restaurant’s exceptional take on classic Sonoran street food has made it a popular lunchtime destination for hungry workers around the Capitol Mall near downtown Phoenix. The menu is fairly simple, offering tacos, quesadillas, burritos and tortas, but it’s the kitchen’s slow-cooked, […]
Taqueria La Hacienda is a lesser known pop up for drive by dinners in South Phoenix. The taco truck, which parks itself slightly out of sight beside a shopping center at Second Street and Buckeye, offers up the usual street taco staples including our two favorites, asada and pastor. Served up on corn tortillas with […]
We can’t think of a single eatery in town that has a line this long in the middle of the night, let alone, one that’s based out of a truck. Although truck might be an understatement as Taqueria Los Yaquis is practically a full-blown assembly line with team members slicing, dicing, and grilling late night […]

Chef Darryl King presides over this rolling tribute to Southern cuisine. The flavors on his po’ boys are dynamite and at prices that won’t break the bank. Try the Blazing Pig, with pulled pork, half a hot link and slaw on a roll covered in special sauce.
The drink selection at the Taxi Inn is limited to beer and wine, but that doesn’t seem to matter to its patrons. Everyone’s having too good a time soaking in the dive bar ambiance and sucking down Pacificos and Tecate to care about the fact that the only mixed drink being served are Micheladas (a.k.a. […]
A good torta is not hard to find in Arizona, but a good torta spot, one batting 1,000? If there’s one, it’s TEG Torta Shop — formerly Tortas El Guero. The family-owned 16th Street torta hall has been around since 2002, and offers nearly 20 tortas in mini, regular, and super sizes. We recommend the […]
When Doug Robson first opened Tesota, it was hard to tell what type of restaurant it would shape up to be. The chef and restaurateur is the mastermind behind Gallo Blanco, Otro Cafe and Otro Cafecito, all restaurants that stick to Mexican cuisine. But Robson ventured beyond his roots with Tesota. The menu features poke, […]

Grand Avenue has gotten a lot of press for Mexican food lately, thanks to Sonoran sweetheart Bacanora. But just up the street sits Testal. This small counter-service spot offers intense flavors and soul-satisfying dishes from Chihuahua – as well as some of the most unusual burritos in town. The first thing to know is that […]
Jutting out of the stucco plaza at 16th Street and Bethany Home Road since 1985, Texaz Grill is equal parts roadhouse cliche and serious steakhouse. Upon entering, allow your eyes to adjust as they wander over the dimly lit mounted trucker hats and road signs, framed photos of yesteryear diners, and the buzzing neon of […]
The folks at Thai Basil dressed up a former sub shop with dark wood tables and chairs, muted gold walls, charming vintage portraits, and Thai woodcarvings to make the simple space welcoming to solo diners and small groups alike. The prices are alluring, too. Hardly anything’s over $10, and at lunch, all but two dishes […]

While there is an abundance of Thai spots in Central Phoenix, Thai E-San distinguishes itself with bold, pungent flavors and some unusual items that you don’t find just anywhere, like tangy sausages filled with pork and pork skin. The service is low-key but gracious; they’ve even made the inside of a mundane building feel exotic. […]
Reliable, inexpensive Thai cuisine in a modest, pleasant environment. A statue of a praying Thai lady greets you upon entry, and there are the usual Thai knickknacks on the walls, along with portraits of the Thai king and queen. The menu offers a wide selection of Thai eats, including standards such as laab, Panang curry, […]

Two Hippies Beach House is the sister restaurant to Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burgers, a psychedelic burger shack on Indian School, but the food here has a lighter spin – nothing’s fried, and the meats and vegetables are organic. The menu’s streamlined, but everything on it is cheap and filling, from fat fish tacos to […]
