El Zaguan Bistro
Was in Phoenix for a meeting. One of my coworkers Janie also leaves in the area so I checked to see if she wanted to meet for lunch. I picked something close to my hotel that had a decent rating, at least according to Google. Janie ordered the Quesabirria Combo which came with two quesabirria

The Hideaway
We had hoped to be able to just eat the in the hotel restaurant, Ladyhawk which was a Mediterranean restaurant from Chef Charbel Hayek, winner of Top Chef Middle East and we remembered watching him in Top Chef World All Stars, but alas the restaurant was closed for Christmas. So we scrambled to find some

Fonda
We didn’t know anything about this place at all, but we were waiting for our table to be ready at Ambassadors Clubhouse, so this right next to it so we decided to grab a drink while we were waiting. It was a Mexican restaurant and the cocktail menu had a lot of interesting looking tequila

Elena’s
It had been awhile since we had been here so I booked a reservation for Sunday noon. It was mostly full, but only one party waiting to get seated, so we probably could have walked in and there were plenty of seats at the bar. We were seated promptly after checking in and amusingly we

Californios
We were celebrating Andrea’s birthday at her favorite restaurant. This was our seventh time here, but surprisingly we hadn’t been here in a year…when we were celebrating her b-day last year! We both ordered cocktails, which didn’t arrive until our 4th course/bite. Andrea had the Californios Martini and I had the Cantarito. The martini was

Elena’s Mexican Restaurant
I had booked this reservation 3 months ago and because this restaurant was so popular, this was the soonest I was able to book for a weekend brunch. Of course, we had since come here as walk-ins, once for lunch during the work week and once for dinner. Since we had the reservation, we decided
