This bustling eatery, open since 2002, is legendary in Phoenix. One of the original restaurants of famed James Beard Award-winning chef Silvana Salcido Esparza, her food is authentic, innovative and just as you would expect -- tasty. Adorned with folk art and boasting more than 200 tequilas at the bar, her restaurant is the perfect fit for her food. Featured on the Food Network, the restaurant’s traditional slow-roasted cochinita pibil is wrapped in banana leaves to steam the pork roast. Other favorites include chiles en nogada, a dish with roasted poblano peppers, chicken and assorted fruits in an almond cream sauce; and the guacamole del Barrio, made tableside.
