Good times are on tap day and night at this Glendale sports bar and neighborhood haunt. Mornings feature hearty free breakfasts ( three eggs, two bacon, two sausages, toast, and hash browns) with the purchase of a beverage from 8 a.m. to noon. The horseshoe bar has specials throughout the day ($2.50 domestic longnecks every […]
The proliferation of Chicago-style hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches in the Valley continues with this local chain, whose stores are adorned with all things Windy City: street signs, sports regalia, a mural of the city’s famed skyline, even a Chicago map on which locals can pinpoint their provenance. The good news for the Valley’s […]
Comfy booths line the long southern wall of this West Valley watering hole, offering up a fine vantage point from which to keep a lookout for fellow regulars. The bar’s positioned on a slightly elevated platform, and requisite pool tables and dartboards have their own separate nooks, so there’s no awkward overlap. Affordable domestic beers […]

A cute, antique-cluttered restaurant offering the west side commendable breakfasts and lunches. Sandwiches, which are served in bags (with pickles and a chocolate kiss), can be accompanied by homemade soups, salads and desserts. Earlier in the day, we love the French toast.
Just southwest of Old Towne Glendale, you’ll find La Mejor Barbacoa sandwiched between an auto repair shop and a transmission repair shop. Blink, and you may not find it at all. Good thing there’s a sign, and three flappy banners advertising barbacoa, menudo, and Micheladas. Inside this golden-yellow restaurant (which looks deceptively small from the […]
Rambling, friendly Mexican restaurant and party palace that’s still kickin’ after some 60 years in business. Live bands and mariachis on the weekends make it a destination nightspot for locals. The food is straight-ahead Mexican fare, nothing fancy, but the menu does offer a wide array of choices from chicken mole and steak Veracruz to […]
La Piazza Al Forno’s appearance on Guy Fieri’s Food Network show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, was a key factor that transformed this unassuming Glendale pizza joint into one everyone wants to visit. The family-owned business is known for making pizzas like the Italians in Rome. The Italian Stallion and Margherita are in high demand. For […]

It’s easy to find a quality Mexican bakery in Phoenix, but La Purisima Pasteleria is still worth the drive to Glendale for its fresh baked breads and pastries. There’s usually a line, but that’s ok because there’s too much eye candy to choose from. While you wait your turn, it’s time to make some tough […]
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 […]
