Pull up a stool at the bar, order a basket of waffle fries and chicken tenders, and drop $23 […]

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 […]

Whoever heard of Tacos Morongo? We hadn’t, until we started dining each weekend at this popular Mexican diner. Now we’re addicted to handmade corn tortillas stuffed with seasoned steak (or chicken, or shrimp) and dressed with fresh cilantro, onions, Jack cheese, and a creamy avocado purée. We ordered it every time we went, until Ajo […]

Call it a stroke of culinary good luck that French-trained chefs Snir and Kierstin Mor landed in Surprise, an exurb of Phoenix hammered by chain restaurants, to open Amuse Bouche, their BYOB country-French bistro. Open for lunch, dinner, and offering one of the best Sunday breakfasts in the Valley, the tiny eatery features short and […]
