El Farol

Cuisine: Peruvian
Neighborhood: East Phoenix

5534 E. Thomas Rd. Phoenix, AZ 85018

602-840-4440

There's something uniquely appealing about Peruvian cooking, with its subtle spicing and its celebration of complex, tangy flavors. The menu at El Farol is compact, but you can still get a sense of the native cuisine from offerings such as cebiche de pescado (tilapia marinated in lime juice, cilantro, onion, and garlic) and saltado (beef sautéed with tomatoes and onions) served with homemade fries. The specialty cocktail of the house, the Pisco Sour, is worth a try, too. Read our review.
