The 38 Best Restaurants in Phoenix | Eater Phoenix

"Housed in a former church, Javier Verdugo’s lovely Mexican restaurant — which boasts vaulted ceilings, paned windows, and corner frescos — turns out fantastic food with an emphasis on the specialties of Southern Mexico. The menu offers mainstream standbys such as burritos and enchiladas (try the latter enrobed in the restaurant’s famous beet sauce) as well as cochinita pibil, mole, and a wonderful steak Mexicano, served with nopales and onion. Order excellent tacos during Happy Hour, then hit the extensive salsa bar. Best for: A date night with heart — and regional Mexican dishes you don’t see every day." - McConnell Quinn
