Mimi Forno Italiano

If you live in Laveen, you’ve probably heard of the outstanding neighborhood spot Mimi Forno Italiano. If you live elsewhere in metro Phoenix, this eatery is worth the trip to the southwest Valley. The small restaurant often is bustling with couples on dates, friends catching up over pizza or locals stopping by for a quick […]

Mimita’s Cuban Cafe

This family-owned restaurant in Chandler serves up classic Cuban comfort foods in a cheery, pleasant atmosphere and with service as friendly as the fare. For a snack or a light meal, try the empanadas or a medianoche sandwich (similar to the Cuban, but with sweet, eggy, challah-like bread). Exceptional entrees include the Cuban roast pork […]

Mind Over Batter

Mind Over Batter is more than a cutesy, clever name. The wheels were clearly turning when cupcake flavors like Cotton Candy (strawberry cake topped with vanilla buttercream and cotton candy crunch), Hot Fudge Sundae (chocolate cake with chocolate chips topped with vanilla buttercream, rich dark chocolate fudge icing, sprinkles, and a cherry), and Dark Vader […]

Mint Thai Cafe

Some of the most satisfying Thai eats in the Valley, and well worth the drive to Gilbert, if you live elsewhere. On the other hand, if you reside in Gilbert, count your freakin’ blessings, dood! A big menu, scrumptious curries mixed with coconut milk and topped with peanuts, pork-stuffed chicken wings, and a plate of […]

The Mint

The crown jewel of Les and Diane Corieri’s local nightlife empire celebrates avarice and monetary excess in grand fashion. The couple spent a pretty penny to create an affluent oasis, which — fittingly enough — is situated inside an old bank. Clubgoers enjoy high-end cocktails and cuisine created by chef Johnny Chu and dance music […]

Miracle Mile Deli

This deli serves up comfy, New York-style dishes that are nothing short of miraculous. Delicious sandwich bargains include savory brisket of beef, corned beef, and the signature Straw, uniting pastrami with sauerkraut and melted Swiss. Daily specials are super, rotating from hand-carved roast turkey to macaroni and cheese, meat loaf and beef stew.

The Mission

While there are a few Mexican eateries in the vicinity of Old Town, you’d have a much better chance of tracking down a gourmet burger or a plate of sushi. So for that reason alone, The Mission fills a welcome niche in this ‘hood. While the menu is a broader, more modern take on Latin […]

Mister Pio

Mister Pio’s menu is evident from the parking lot. As soon as you open your car door, the aroma of roasting chicken hints at what’s to come. Step inside this small, modern spot and smoke from the gargantuan rotisserie oven hits you in a wave and then swallows you whole. Slide up to the counter […]
