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.

Food and staff are fantastic. My only concern is the noise. Music stays too loud to have conversations

About the restaurant
Enjoy a taste of original wood fire pizza from Italy right here in the historic and famous Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix. Our menu is curated by our very own Pizziaolo, Chef Chris . All dough and ingredients prepared fresh daily to excite your taste buds from one of the most popular pizzerias in Phoenix and Scottsdale since 2012. Try our house signature pizza, our Valentina, specially blended red sauce, perfectly cupped pepperoni, Calabrian chile, fresh mozzarella and finished with our locally source hoeny. Truly and experience you will tell everyone about. Voted 1, 2 and 3 over the last 6 years as the best pizzeria in Arizona. Voted number 1 on the Wizard of Za's top 100 list 5 out of last 6 years. Voted People Choice top 3 in Phoenix twice in four years. This little spot is a spot out of old Italy. Inside is small, yet robust with character and highlighted with our open kitchen atmosphere. Come experience this charming pizza destination spot.

Great dj on Friday. We got the guacamole for appetizer so good! For dinner we got the ribeye and the Carne Asada both were delicious we were so stuffed but didn’t want to leave any of it. Drinks were delicious I had La Guapa. Recommend for a casual dinner date or girls night.

Marigold Maison is a local favorite. Great location for outstanding Indian food. We shared the Gobi Manchurian as a starter, and two kinds of tikka masala and eggplant as mains. Both came with plenty of yummy rice and mains were super-flavorful. The decor is modest and appropriate, and the staff is amazingly welcoming and kind. Wish there was a better wine list of a BYOB option.
