Margaret T. Hance Park

The unusual city park was built above the I-10 tunnel between downtown and uptown, a rare Phoenix instance of nature over traffic — in this case, literally. On-site: the Japanese Tea House and Friendship Garden, a half-acre co-creation of the City of Phoenix and its sister city of Himeji, Japan.

Marigold Maison

Marigold Maison could be considered a reincarnation of the original Bombay Spice Grill. The restaurant, which is tucked into the side of a north Phoenix strip mall, still feels slightly like its former self. Yes, the dining room is handsomely decorated with murals and hanging lanterns; it also features an open kitchen clearly designed for […]

Mariscos Ensenada

Sure, you can order seafood at almost any Mexican restaurant, but it can be questionable to say the least. When you have a hankering for a sea snail tostada, ceviche verde de camaron (shrimp marinated in spicy green sauce), or pescado relleno de jalba con crema (fish fillet stuffed with crab), we recommend Mariscos Ensenada, […]

Mariscos Las Glorias

Don’t expect your standard fish-stick tacos when you order at Las Glorias — the menu features dozens of options, including chile relleno stuffed with shrimp or fish. Wash it all down with some fresh horchata.

Mariscos Playa Hermosa

The second-best part of Mariscos Playa Hermosa is the dining room and patio. The Sinaloan-style Mexican seafood restaurant was established in March 2002 by Jose and Maria Maldonado, both originally from the small colonial town of Guanajuato, Mexico. The scenery of their hometown shows in this beautiful, loudly decorated eatery. Chairs are bright pink and […]

The Market by Jennifer’s

The catering biz turned restaurant opened by chef-owner Jennifer Russo-Fitzgerald is bright and homey, with chic touches like large crystal chandeliers to class up the joint. With grab-and-go options for breakfast and dinner, an array of olives and brined veggies, freshly baked pastries, and separate lunch and dinner menus, The Market by Jennifer’s has a […]
