About the restaurant

We believe a dinner over amazing food should be an experience that brings people together. The desire to produce lifelong memories over a meal comprised of locally sourced (when possible) seasonal ingredients coupled with an internationally recognized wine program rarely seen in the US - excites us. These delectable dishes that are meant to be shared with family and friends is the conduit for building fond memories. We long for our guests to feel welcomed and relaxed with a casual-elegance that shines long after the last forkful and interesting sips.

About the restaurant

Huarachis Taqueria is the vibrant sister restaurant of Bacanora PHX, founded by James Beard Award-winning Chef Rene Andrade and his talented team. This isn’t your typical taqueria—it’s a place where authentic flavors meet creative cocktails and a diverse menu featuring tacos, huaraches, tortas, and hearty platters. Here, you can even treat yourself to our fun twist on dessert with concha ice cream. Huarachis Taqueria is more than a restaurant; it’s a gathering spot for the community, designed to feel like you’re at a friend’s backyard hangout. With a soundtrack of cumbia, corridos, merengue, salsa, rap, and R&B, it’s the perfect place to unwind, savor great food, and enjoy good company.

Greeted by a friendly, courteous hostess, sat us immediately. Jackie was our server and is also friendly and courteous. Other servers were great, too. The food was delicious. We had the Chicarron, Pescado, Tripas Tacos and Frijol Dip, Carne Asada, and Lala Lengua Huaraches. Decor, ambiance, and noise level are energetic, not too loud. Overall Night Fantastic. We would definitely come back!!!

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
