This place is LEGENDARY, and the original location happens to be right here in our hood. Chef Silvana is a 2023 James Beard award semi-finalist. Don't miss the guacamole (with pomegranate seeds), made table-side. Unforgettable!

Great place to see a concert, the food and drinks are really good as well. Some swear that their burritos are the BEST in town ... I mean, they are GOOD, but I don't know if I would go quite that far. Perhaps you could settle the bet?

This is another one of those iconic Phoenix hikes in the middle of the huge Phoenix Mountain Preserve. The main trail is the Piestewa Peak - not an easy hike, but SO worth it. If you want something more moderate, there are other options available.

IMHO the best hike in Phoenix. Read up on it. There are two trails (both lead to the top), and some sections are kind of difficult. But you can't beat the views or the location. Highly recommended.
