Located on the second tier of the Collier Center, Kincaid’s offers upscale food for on-the-go diners. Grilled chipotle tiger prawns, draped with barbecue hollandaise sauce, are a delicacy; also amazing is the Jumbo Alaskan Sea Scallops, drizzled with Cabernet Sauvignon and beurre blanc sauces. Another favorite is the house-smoked top sirloin rubbed with juniper seasoning, […]

Tucked away on the south end of Park Central, Kobalt is a long-standing tenant of the open air mall. Regular theme nights find the predominately LGBTQ patrons performing karaoke versions of show tunes and ’80s hits, howling at the big screen during a watch party of RuPaul’s Drag Race, prepping their singles for the next […]
Though you won’t be able to swing by just any old time, this shop on Grand Avenue can’t be beat when it comes to vintage craft supplies. Hell, it’s one of our favorite places for vintage shopping in the whole city. Owner Beatrice Moore has spent a long time collecting all sorts of bobbles and […]
This small, unassuming central Phoenix restaurant has developed a reputation as a neighborhood hangout. Its mostly Mexican clientele appreciate the affordable, authentic food of southern Mexico – more richly seasoned than flat-out spicy – plus a few good ol’ American classics. First-timers should save themselves the trouble of navigating its vast menu and order up […]

It’s rare to find a more joyful lunch, dinner, or late-night meal than one eaten near a taco truck in a lot on 16th Street. Our favorites along this strip near 16th and Van Buren Street are La Frontera 1 and 3, and, up the street some, Tacos Y Mariscos El Sinaloa. As its name […]
Street food might be trending hard, but La Frontera Comida Mexicana has been around long before mobile eateries were cool. The stationary food truck can be found near the intersection of 16th Street and Van Buren serving Mexican fare and some of the city’s best Sonoran-style carne asada. Besides the award-winning carne asada burrito, they’ve […]

La Santisima, formerly La Condessa Gourmet Taco Shop, has a pretty simple menu — tacos, corn quesadillas, and burros — although the flavors aren’t limited to Sonoran, like at many restaurants in these parts. There’s seafood from the coastal regions, Oaxacan black mole, Mexico City-style chicken tinga, and melt-in-your-mouth cochinita pibil from the Yucatán. Don’t […]
They threw in everything but the kitchen sink with La Tolteca, which is a bakery, restaurant, and market all in one. Whether you work or study nearby, have to stick to a budget, or simply like to explore ethnic cuisines, it’s a don’t-miss stop within a stonesthrow of downtown. Pick up some pan dulce from […]

The Larder + The Delta, a Southern-inspired food stand inside downtown Phoenix’s DeSoto Central Market, puts a modern twist on comfort food dishes like Hoppin’ John and biscuits and gravy.

Las 15 Salsas is a Sunnyslope gem serving exceptional Oaxacan food and delicious cocktails. Its colorful patio, complete with twinkling string lights, only adds to the appeal. Start your meal with an order of memelas, or thin corn patties topped with cheese, or a Tamal Oaxaqueño with black mole and chicken folded in a banana […]
When Brannon Kleinlein announced he was reopening his bygone venue Last Exit, we had a few doubts. Not only is the cozy music venue located along a confusing one-way stretch of Central Avenue, it’s also in the heart of a dodgy ‘hood south of downtown Phoenix. After Kleinlein fixed the joint up, improved parking and […]
