Places to eat in Phoenix

Thanks

The TeePee sounds good. I love spicy food, the hotter the better. The place that had green corn tortillas sounded like a possibility too.

Thanks again

You're welcome!

Bon appetit!

I would love a great southwest spot.

I highly recommend Barrio Cafe on 16th St. More of a modern and hip Mexican food menu than southwest though. Has any kind of tequila that you could imagine. For southwest you could try Roaring Forks in Scottsdale.

Cafe Poca Cosa in Tucson is worth the drive. It's a new-wave Mexican/Southwest food place and could be the best meal you ever eat if you find yourself in the Old Pueblo.

Other recommendations: I recently ate at Cowboy Ciao in Scottsdale. If you can stand being in Scottsdale, it's a very eclectic menu with GREAT food and an awesome beer selection.

I always take my wife to Coup des Tartes on 16th St because it's got a great French menu with awesome deserts. It's BYOB though.

I ate at a place called Circa 1900 for my birthday. Awesome bistro menu in historic Heritage Square down the street from the ballpark [NOW CLOSED]

Fry Bread House on 7th Ave. is good if you're in the mood for Indian fry bread.

If you're in the mood for Mexican, you could hit any number of taco, hot dog, or torta stands on the side of the road. Or go to one of the Phoenix Ranch Markets. Incredible selection of Mexican groceries and just ridiculously good food available in the cafe.

Go to Lux on Central for good coffee and pastries.

Tapas

Lola Tapas is on Camelback near the Biltmore. Good little Tapas place.

Lisa G's Wine Bar on 7th St is a great little wine bar with small plates. I am pretty sure the deserts are from Tammie Coe Bakery, another place you should check out for cakes and snacks. [Also Closed - replaced by a great little pub called The Main Ingredient]

Postino's (on 40th St I think) in the Arcadia neighborhood is a pretty hip wine bar with small plates and Tapas.

I'm not sure where you're staying, but my recommendations are slanted toward downtown/Biltmore/Arcadia because that's where I live. You might get different recommendations from someone from Snottsdale.

Thank you Bunsbert.
