Salty Senorita always seems to have a party vibe, thanks to a young crowd, quirky décor, and a busy outdoor patio. But this place isn’t just about signature margaritas and more than 100 kinds of tequila. (Although that definitely adds to the energy.) Get geared up for those stiff drinks with some sizzling rustic street […]
You’ll feel transported to the Sonoran seaside when you visit this cheerful spot. The menu offers nothing but expertly prepared Sea of Cortez-style seafood. We’d be surprised if the Seven Seas cocktail, fish stews, and garlic shrimp didn’t have you docking at this bay regularly.
San Diego Bay Restaurant is all about seafood, whether it’s tostadas stacked with octopus, calamari, and shrimp, or marlin tacos. Walls decked with shark jaws and plastic fish create a family-friendly environment.
You know you’re at a Mexican restaurant that’s more party than fine dining destination when folks recommend the Sonoran Chicken Sandwich: You’ll find it among the items on Felipe’s “Gringo Grub” list.

We love to hate Sandbar’s clientele, but if there’s one thing the North Phoenix bros and ladies know how to do, it’s drink hard all day long. Because Sandbar is one of the only bars around the Desert Ridge shopping area, there’s almost always a small crowd lounging around the outdoor patio or in the […]
Originally, Nadia Holguin and Armando Hernandez were known for their super-casual taco joint where they served delicious Chihuahuan food from an old Dairy Queen drive-thru. But this culinary power duo has come a long way from then. This is perhaps best exemplified in their recently James Beard-recognized restaurant Santo Arcadia. Floral wallpaper, hanging greenery and […]
This cozy Ahwatukee restaurant may be named after the Spanish word for “secret,” but it’s too delicious to keep under wraps. The heady smell of burning pecan wood hits your nostrils as soon as you walk through the door, a hint of scrumptious Southwestern eats to come: chorizo-stuffed pork chops, green corn tamales, and smoky […]

For the uninitiated, New Mexican-style Mexican food is all about the famous Hatch chile peppers that are a signature crop for Arizona”s neighbor to the East.

This spacious yet welcoming adobe-style restaurant nestled into El Pedregal, the sophisticated shopping center in North Scottsdale, features lunch and dinner offerings of upscale Southwestern and Mexican cuisines whose flavors play it safe for its well-heeled, over-50 patrons. Popular entrees like the stuffed poblano chiles and chimayo chile-rubbed pork tenderloin are passable, but more interesting […]
The Stand Burgers & Tacos takes In-N-Out Burger’s keep-it-simple philosophy, and adds Arcadia flair by making the burger more upscale (and more expensive) and putting tacos on the menu. While some of the items are forgettable, most of the menu is so satisfying that you may soon be a regular if you live in the […]
