Yes, Phoenix is getting a reputation for their chicken and waffles thanks to LoLos. This place is popular so plan your trip well (expect 30-45 min wait) as they dont take reservations.

(Closed Temporarily - Fire) Who says Phoenix is all Mexican food? Not these guys who have brought a refreshing Peruvian menu to central PHX. Try the lomo saltado and dont leave without a pisco or maracuya sour cocktail.

Amazingly authentic Mexican food in the heart of South Phoenix. Those who know order the "Super Cocktel" for a superb seafood cocktail. A chance to practice your Spanish as well :-)

Very cool coffee/restaurant/bar in central Phoenix. Mix of 20-somethings working on laptops & older folks eating dessert, enjoying the hipster vibe. Recommended drink: Samuel Smith's Strawberry Ale.

Drinks & Nightlife

My top recommendation for where to go, they have at least 30 craft beers on draft at all time on a constantly rotating menu. Food is highly rated as well.

I dont often recommend places outside of central Phoenix, but this place is worth it. The best craft brewery within the valley, if you find yourself heading east, make this a pit stop.

Rotating restaurant on top floor of the Hyatt. Great views of the valley. Doesn't get a lot of visitors so usually no need for reservations. A bit pricy.

Essentials

Great produce, slightly more expensive than Food City. Pro's Ranch is famous for having great Mexican food. Many people go just for a fresh lunch in their in-store restaurant. Top choice: chimichanga.
