Best Tapas Restaurants in Desert Ridge

We always enjoy the Wrigley Mansion. We maintain our membership because the service, food, and cocktails are consistently fabulous. This was our 2nd time attending the Jazz dinner at Geordie’s. The first time was a wonderful experience, this time…meh. We went for my sister’s birthday. Service was inattentive and we were rushed out at the 90 minute mark. Very disappointed that we couldn’t order dessert. Was hoping to get her a piece of cake or something to celebrate. Portion (and no cheese or basil…nothing) on the gnocchi was a bit sparse for the money. It’s unfortunate that my only negative experience at Wrigley was when I was trying to impress someone. Ah, hopefully it will be back to regular standards next time.

Very nice food; typical traditional Spanish, as in not overly picante, but tasty - and diverse; we had the chef's sampler, really enjoyed, and crème Catalan dessert was also delicious; service also excellent

A place that knows it value, the Mercado at Tia Carmen is a more than solid choice for breakfast. Its buffet style breakfast, has a not to large not to small selection of hot and cold offerings. Nothing is subpar, and many selections (like the beef, rice and yogurt) are exceptional. Only bake goods are uneven in taste. Coffee is top notch. Jams, meats, fruit and great. Omelette station available too. Service is attentive and not bothersome. Expensive but worth it.

What a fabulous restaurant! Dahlia Tapas is an absolute gem in Phoenix, and our recent dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped in, we were charmed by the warm ambiance and inviting atmosphere. The real magic, however, began when we entrusted our server, Reyna, to take us on a culinary journey through the menu—and WOW, did she ever deliver! Her knowledge of the dishes was impeccable, and her passion for the menu shone through in every recommendation. It’s clear that Dahlia Tapas isn’t just about serving food; it’s about creating an experience. The chef and culinary team behind the dishes deserve a standing ovation. Each tapas plate was a masterpiece, showcasing incredible flavor combinations and flawless execution. The creativity and attention to detail made every bite a delight, leaving us excited for the next dish. This is the kind of restaurant where you can tell that both the staff and chefs truly care about the food they present and the experience they offer. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Phoenix, Dahlia Tapas is an absolute must-visit. We can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
