Awesome tacos here. It's difficult to find restaurants that make their own taco shells. This place does and they are good- crunchy, but not too oily. Iced cold beer. Good prices as well. My new favorite taco place.

Q Bar and Grill

Dive Bars
Yay! I think I finally found a cool dive bar close to work to frequent. I stopped in a couple of weeks ago for an early happy hour/quick bite to eat. I was a little nervous about ordering food from the appearance of the outside of the bar. My kind of place to drink, but not necessarily to eat. The inside looks better, but still dark and bar like. I asked to see the menu and was surprised to see the selections, and even more surprised by the pastrami sandwich I had. It was tasty. The best part was the bread, grilled to perfection. I would definitely recommend a cocktail and a bite to eat at the Q.
I wasn't there long enough to give it a 5, so I'm going back today to try it again. If you drive by that area, stop in and give it a try.

I don't know what it is, but I just love this place. Service is awesome. Wine selection is good, although I always order the same one. Food is great, and no body beats their bruschetta. I love sitting inside and out, and it's always an interesting crowd. $5 glasses and pitchers is just the icing on the cake.

Padre's Modern Mexican Cuisine

My first time here was actually kind of ironic. We went there last night to see a band, Mason, and thought we'd grab dinner before hand since it is a Mexican restaurant. I've been on this carne asada taco kick lately, disappointedly making my way around central Phoenix looking for some good ones. I had no idea I'd find them at Padre's. What a surprise.
The place was jammed packed, literally, and I couldn't see any tacos in my future when we first got there. We ended up scooting in on a table with friends and the wait staff happily served us. I think they gave up on the whole wait for a table protocol. Everyone was there to see the band. Anyway, my tacos came right away and they were great. We had both the carne asada and the shrimp tacos. Yum!
I can't wait to go back to this place when it's not jammed packed to try out the rest of menu. I see a Taco Tuesday in my future. Show owner comment »

Dragon Island Chinese Restaurant
Category:
Chinese
Finally good Chinese in my neighborhood. This restaurant just opened up in the same building as another old Chinese restaurant that went out of business. I understand why that one went out of business and this one will survive. Cleanliness and great food. I couldn't believe it when I walked in. It was nice inside and something smelled really good. I quickly made my take-out order and in minutes I was on my way. The food was good. We had chicken with broccoli (spicy) and Kung Pao Vegetable. It was fresh and hot and the vegetables were cooked to perfection - not mushy like some places.
If you haven't visited this place in a while, remember it's a new restaurant now - new owners, decor and food. They even cleaned up the outside. The only downside is they don't have delivery yet. Can't wait for that.

Great lunchtime sushi spot. Fresh fish. Hamachi was yummy. Melts in your mouth. We went at an off time so no one else was in the place and we got excellent service. Very reasonable pricing for such a touristy area.
My less salt soy sauce was a bit salty. Not sure if it was really less salt, but that was the only negative for me. Can't wait to go back.

Michelina's Ristorante Costa Campagnia

We've been going to Michelina's for 8 years now. It's our favorite romantic date night spot. The food is unbelievable. The owner/chef is always in the house, but the main host is very sweet and attentive. Excellent service here. I can't even start to tell you what to try. Everything I've had is good, starting with the appetizers all the way to dessert. I love the Caprese, the chicken Marsala, and chicken parmigiana. It's all good. They have a pretty extensive wine list as well, including some very reasonable offerings price wise. Surprise your date with this fabulous spot. You won't be disappointed.
This was my first time to a vegan restaurant, and it was a pretty good experience. I enjoyed my meal, and the service was quick and friendly. I had the special, something I don't think they serve everyday - Chicken Marsala. It was very tasty, and the pasta with marinara sauce was as well. The portion was a bit large for lunch, as was the price. Perfect for dinner, however. Other items more suitable for lunch were priced more appropriately. I will definitely go back to try out some of the other dishes.
I don't give five stars often, but here's my rationale. Their margaritas rock! It's the only place that you get your money's worth when you order a margarita. They are huge! They have a good variety of cool flavors to try too. Love it. But that's not it. They have the best green chili around, and it is HOT! I love hot spicy food, and this does not disappoint. Lastly, the chips and salsa service is good. I love the bean dip and the two types of salsa provided. i could just sit there and eat that alone.
Service is usually good. I normally just cruise in and sit at the bar. Can't wrong with service with the bartender standing in front of you the whole time. :)

Sylvia's La Canasta Mexican Restaurant

In my search for the best green chili burro in Phoenix, I always end up coming back here. Their burro is in my top 3 for sure. To be honest I haven't eaten much else here. It's a comfortable place, with a nice shaded patio and cheap beer. I like their chips and salsa, not the usual fair. It's a good place to drop in and grab a quick bite. Margaritas are not impressive, but technically you have to order those from Mateo's next door.
