- MMattChicago / Illinois •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe were warmly greeted by the hostess, seated right away for our reservation. Our waitress Alyssa was FANTASTIC!!! Here recommendations were spot on from the guacamole with pomegranate seeds to the grilled Mexican wedge salad , vegetarian tacos, steak burro and taco and Madre, the food was amazing, the drinks were also fantastic and we finished off with the churro donuts. I give this place 5 stars , we give Alyssa 10 stars.More infoCall Her MartinaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Old Town Scottsdale•4.7
- NNancyMontana •23 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe Valentine three-course dinner was wonderful. All six selections were delicious, generous, and beautifully presented. I especially loved the scallop citrus ceviche. We were glad we ordered the wine pairing. I had never had Mexican wine before. We learned a lot about it from our very knowledge server. The space is really cool and so is the music. It is right next to the iconic Egyptian Motor Hotel ——-double cool.More infoChiltePrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• West Phoenix•4.7
- JJeffreyVIPChicago / Illinois •24 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoExcellent food and service. Menu I bit difficult to understand but the results (enchiladas & shrimp dishes) were first rate. A little expensive for every week.More infoChico Malo - PhoenixPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Central Phoenix•4.6
- NNancyMontana •23 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBacanora lives up to the buzz——lively, yet intimate. Casual and effortlessly cool. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient waitstaff. Super background music that keeps the energy up but doesn’t drown conversation. And the food! We ordered elote, calabaza, and mole-crusted ribs with frijoles and cilantro salad. More than enough for the two of us, but we made room for flan. All delicious and different. And the cocktails! We had an old-fashioned-type and a classic martini-type, both with Mexican spirits. It’s worth the effort to score a reservation.More infoBacanoraPrice: Very Expensive• Mexican• West Phoenix•4.8
- MMichaelPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was amazing, with more of a Mexican comfort food offering compared to their highly acclaimed sister restaurant, Bacanora. Flavorful, unique, and pleasing to the eye. The signature drinks were strong, complex and satisfying. Be warned, if an entree has a higher price, it’s for good reason. We made the mistake of ordering carne asada fries, 8 tacos and a few starters/sides and ended up going home with 3 boxes of food for the four of us to indulge in the next day. The jicama salad was a highlight of the meal while serving as a great palate cleanser with its refreshing yet spicy flavors. This restaurant has become a top contender on our list of local spots around Phoenix for special occasions and showing visitors what our amazing city has to offer for gastro culture. Do yourself a favor and get in here ASAP!More infoHuarachis TaqueriaPrice: Expensive• Mexican• West Phoenix•4.9
