Arizona Native Frybread

1437 E. Main St (at N Lazona Dr)

Mesa • (480) 649-1314

 

American Indian fry bread can be eaten in many different ways, and Arizona Native Frybread, a strip-mall restaurant on east Main Street in Mesa, showcases many of them. Fry bread, made by frying a flat piece of dough in oil, can be eaten as is; for instance, as an accompaniment to a bowl of Navajo hominy stew. Or it can be filled with meat, vegetables and cheese to make a sandwich or taco. It even can be a dessert, topped with honey, powdered sugar, jelly or chocolate. - eastvalleytribune.com

"This downtown Scottsdale restaurant has a menu that incorporates elements of the cuisines of Mexico, Central America, South America and Spain.

Phoenix City Grille

5816 N 16th St (at Bethany Home Rd)

Phoenix • (602) 266-3001

 

“Phoenix City Grille’s upscale Southwestern spin on meat and potatoes totally hits the spot when you’re craving comfort food. By day, the restaurant has a business casual vibe that gives way to a dimly lit, date-friendly ambiance in the evening. Start off with a skillet of moist cornbread, then dig in to grilled pork tenderloin with jalapeño preserves or melt-in-your-mouth pot roast. Expect to be stuffed, but don’t be surprised if you suddenly find room for dessert. Croissant bread pudding and warm chocolate torte are two highlights.” - Phoenix New Times

Scottsdale • (480) 970-8164

 

“New Mexico-style Mexican food served in a cave-like setting, complete with bats and gushing waterfalls. The kitchen sends out nothing but winners, from traditional favorites like carne adovada and blue corn enchiladas to nifty platters like pork osso buco and chicken breasts stuffed with sun-dried tomato, spinach, pepper and feta. First-rate margaritas, too.”
- Phoenix New Times

“Carlsbad Tavern has been dishing out spicy New Mexican fare for 13 years. Its cozy, cavelike ambiance suits legions of "batty" loyalists who've made this friendly watering hole a neighborhood favorite for happy-hour and late-night snacks as well as lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch.” - azcentral.com

Vincent On Camelback

3930 E Camelback Rd (west of N 40th St)

Phoenix • (602) 224-0225

 

James Beard Award Winner
Outstanding Chef - Chef Vincent Guerithault
2010 Semi-Finalist Nominee
Outstanding Restaurant

There's a reason why Vincent on Camelback has been a favorite for over 20 years: Consistently wonderful meals, an award winning wine list and unparalleled attentive service. Critics say our food is "always intriguing and inspiring." We say it's Chef Vincent's unique blend of classic French recipes with Southwestern ingredients that makes patrons and critics rave. Come see why we’ve enjoyed their enduring applause.

“Vincent's is a Phoenix bastion of Southwestern cuisine and has long enjoyed a devoted local following. The menu blends Southwestern influences with classic European dishes. The lobster salad and sautéed beef tenderloins with pinot noir glaze are delicious, but if you're from outside the region, you should try the Southwestern dishes. Don't miss the duck tamale or the tequila soufflé, and for an entree, the veal sweetbreads with blue cornmeal are an enduring favorite. For a casual breakfast or lunch, try the attached Vincent's Market Bistro , which is affiliated with the restaurant's Saturday farmers' market.”
- Frommer's
