Food Scene

This place is such a delicious treat. The enchilada sauce is amazing, and there are so many ways you can dress up your entree. I haven't graduated from just the enchiladas yet! Gluten free options with the corn tortillas and chips. You can tell they make the tortillas and sauce in house. I'm drooling thinking about it.

Oh my this meal was unforgettable! We went to celebrate our anniversary here and the experience was absolutely lovely. It was hands down the most interesting and delicious meal I've ever had. The atmosphere is so inviting and relaxed and yet feels so luxurious. The kitchen is open and you can walk in when ever you would like to watch and talk to the staff preparing your food. The other guests were friendly and we made conversation with many of the tables around us, as if we were at a dinner party with friends. This is a very special place.

This is an amazing little taco place in an old church. The stained-glass windows, the wooden beams along with the amazing food makes for great experience. Their guacamole is great not to mention all of their salsas. Everything is made in house pretty much and taste great. They A nice selection of draft beer along with some very decadent margaritas.

Prices were very decent. Got the 1/3 lb burger with cheddar for $6. Absolutely amazing, though fries are sold separately. my girlfriend got the chili cheese dog which had a mild kick to it but enough for flavor. will definitely go back

Easily my favorite pizza spot in central Phoenix. Happy hour prices are a major attraction. 2 pizzas, 2 drinks, 2 appetizers all for $42. Hard to beat. Just get there early because this "secret" restaurant isn't so secret anymore. Great outdoor patio for when the weather breaks.

Arts & Culture

Wonderful glimpse of many, many aspects of Native American life. Small but lovely outdoor displays and courtyards as well. This gem is intensely rewarding, and will make Instagram pics to die for. Easy access, walk right off the Phoenix light rail. A must for an Phoenix visitor.

Shopping

I love coming here to shop. It is an outdoor area, and walking around is so nice, lots of shade, lots of trees. It has an overall relaxing and refreshed vibe. They have good restaurants. And its nice to walk around once you are done eating. There are nice grassy bench areas you can just sit and enjoy.

Drinks & Nightlife

This was actually one of the best burgers I’ve had in quite a while. Very tasty flavors and the sauces were delicious. I had the Buffalo Bill burger and would recommend it 100%. The sweet potato fries were perfectly done in nicely seasoned with cilantro and kosher salt. Everybody was very friendly and smiley and made it a great quick place to grab a burger. Quite a good selection of beers as well, but their house made ginger lemonade is unbelievable. Definitely check it out!

This is the best beer in the Phoenix area. The inside is small but has a great vibe with good people and staff. If you can, get your hands on any of the Wally series IPAs. Eclectic beer offerings for all tastes. Highly recommended.

Very cool venue. This was my first time attending a show here so I wasn't sure what to expect. Parking was simple at one of the many lots close by ($5 to park for a downtown event is a bargain in my experience). Entry into the venue was easy as well. Security was ever present but cool. I didn't see any harassment. The main entrance is awesome with the chandeliers and the bar was well staffed. In the ballroom, there really isn't a bad place to be. The band was always visible in this big open room. The sound system definitely kicks! While I prefer a bit more highs in the overall mix, the low end was astounding. You could feel the bass punching you in the chest and I love that! Overall, a g

Entertainment & Activities

Nice place, a little $$$ , but the experience is worth it. Nice chairs, bar, wait staff. Not something you would take the kids too, this is an adult experience. Food is good, not great but good. And did I mention they have alcohol, big plus.

Getting Around

2 weeks ago- Everything about this rental was perfect! Except I left a pair of shoes in the trunk and didn't realize it until a week later and when I called they weren't in the lost and found. I am crushed because I had only worn them 2 times. Please check the trunk before turning in your rental!
