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.

Delicious menu options, great sazon and excellent service (TY, Jackie)! The place was popping and yet everything was on point. Wednesdays are a must if you want a mouth-watering Costra Taco!

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.

Il Bosco is a groovy retro cottage in downtown Phoenix that features a wonderful patio and indoor seating. The service is fantastic . Tuesday’s are 1/2 bottles of wine! We had the gluten free pizza which was delicious as well as a regular pizza also very good. The fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzarella were amazing and the meatballs were delicious. The charcuterie board had a nice variety of meats, cheeses and olives. We will definitely return!
