This place is LEGENDARY, and the original location happens to be right here in our hood. Chef Silvana is a 2023 James Beard award semi-finalist. Don't miss the guacamole (with pomegranate seeds), made table-side. Unforgettable!

Place looks like a hole in the wall, but don't be deceived - this is some of the best meat you will taste on a taco or a burrito. Be sure to hit up their salsa bar too!

Located in a converted 19th century church building, this place is fantastic for food and drinks. Try the grilled romaine heart salad, if they have it.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is located downtown proper, and I think they have the BEST cocktails in town. If you are into mixology - check this place out.

Great place to see a concert, the food and drinks are really good as well. Some swear that their burritos are the BEST in town ... I mean, they are GOOD, but I don't know if I would go quite that far. Perhaps you could settle the bet?

Parks & Nature

If you want to understand the magic of the Sonoran Desert (the lushest desert in the world) - go here. This was an eye opener for me, and I have NEVER heard of anyone regret coming here.

This is a HUGE mountain preserve right in the middle of the city. Lots of options here, including driving to the very top and starting the hike there. Amazing views of downtown Phoenix to the North.

This is another one of those iconic Phoenix hikes in the middle of the huge Phoenix Mountain Preserve. The main trail is the Piestewa Peak - not an easy hike, but SO worth it. If you want something more moderate, there are other options available.

IMHO the best hike in Phoenix. Read up on it. There are two trails (both lead to the top), and some sections are kind of difficult. But you can't beat the views or the location. Highly recommended.

Shopping

This is basically a corner convenience store, BUT - they buy beer that is about to expire and sell it for dirt cheap. If you want some amazing craft beers at unreal prices - don't miss this secret spot where the locals go to save money.
