Innovative Mexican & New American fare with creative brunch & cocktails
"Hours: Daily, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Technically, Otro is a Mexican restaurant, but that doesn’t stop chef and owner Doug Robson from putting three seriously good grass-fed burgers on his menu. He offers a traditional cheeseburger for the purists, but the standouts are the Pica Rica — layered with roasted green chiles, caramelized onions, and melty cheddar on a bun smeared with aji aioli — and the Pork Belly, a burger topped with fatty strips of pork belly, coated in a tangy citrus glaze, then topped with pickled onions and a spicy relish that cuts through the richness of the pork. Best for: A green chile burger with brunch vibes and a side of chilaquiles." - McConnell Quinn
"Central Phoenix neighborhood gem Otro Cafe serves breakfast dishes daily as part of its brunch menu. Options range from Mexican to American and keeps things interesting with an impressive muesli made from quinoa, farro, and oats; pancakes topped with cajeta and candied peanuts; and savory breakfasts like avocado toast, barbacoa and eggs, and teetering plates of chilaquiles made from baked tortillas and blanketed in red or green sauce." - Jamie Phillis
"Chilaquiles are ubiquitous in Phoenix breakfast joints, but Otro Café’s version stands out. Helmed by Chef Doug Robson, Otro Café offers a taste of Mexico City-style cuisine in Arizona. Their baked tortillas are drenched in rich, homemade salsa — red, green, or both — and topped with Oaxacan cheese, cilantro, and two eggs, any style. It’s a worthy take on an infamous dish." - McConnell Quinn

"Otro Cafe is a true all-day cafe. Helmed by local restaurateur Doug Robson, it is inspired by Robson’s Mexico City roots. The menu reflects its central Mexican influence with brunch offerings including El Español, a medley of jamón serrano, avocado, and Cerignola olives; elote callejero (elote served with avocado); and barbacoa and eggs. With daily brunch service from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Otro is a surefire hit any day of the week. Pro tip: be sure to stop by Otro’s adjoining cafe, Otro Cafecito, to wash down that brunch coffee with some more coffee." - McConnell Quinn
