We drove around on a recent banker’s holiday, looking for a cheese enchilada. What we found was two things: that most of the local Mexican eateries were closed, and that Abuelo’s serves something called the Reynosa Salad. It’s a fresh, green salad layered with seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, jack and Cheddar cheeses, chile […]

The West Valley is becoming less starved for elevated dining experiences thanks to resident restaurateurs like Matt and Kristina Frosch. The couple’s Peoria Artisan Brewery is a go-to for happy hour or hanging on the patio with a pint.

The Midwest meets the West Valley in this homey, comfy barbecue joint. It feels like you’re sitting in Grandmother’s living room, but we’d be surprised if she cooked pecan-smoked vittles as good as these.
