Phoenix, AZ Restaurant Guide

It may be in the middle of the Sonoran desert, but the incredible restaurant scene in Phoenix is no mirage. Whether you’re looking for elevated approaches to Southwestern dining or the most delicious taco stand in your zip code, there’s plenty of flavor in Phoenix. And don’t forget – Phoenix’s Latino population has exploded over the years, and a growing number of incredible Latin restaurants right along with it. “Stay away from the heat” has more than one meaning in Phoenix.

Speaking of heat, we should begin any conversation about Phoenix food with its incredible Mexican-inspired meals.  With one of the largest Mexican American populations in the US outside of Los Angeles, Phoenix has some of the best tacos, tamales, chimichangas and more in the country.  We cover our favorite Tamales in the area, the best chimichangas in Phoenix and the ultimate Mexican in Maricopa County

If you’ve ever visited Phoenix, you know it’s big – Phoenix isn’t just Phoenix.  It’s Mesa, Glendale, Scottsdale, Tempe, and more.  We created two different guides for Scottsdale – one focused on Old Town and one focused on the whole area – along with Tempe and Downtown, with many more to come.  Our goal is to cover every neighborhood in Phoenix and share the best bites you can find near your neck of the woods.

In addition to its Mexican heritage, Phoenix has a vibrant Asian population – and the food to match.  Japanese American families have settled in Salt River Valley since the turn of the century, and more recently – over the past 10 years – Phoenix has seen a huge influx of Asian immigrants to the area’s Southeastern suburbs, and an increase in local restaurants quality to match.  We cover the best Chinese restaurants in Phoenix, along with the best places to get Sushi and Japanese food in the area, all in our guides.  

If you’ve ever visited one of the area’s ubiquitous mineral stores and seen the displays for healing stones, you know there are definitely some folks living an alternative lifestyle in the Phoenix area.  But as the first adopters of veganism, these folks have been way ahead of the trend for a few years now.  That’s why Phoenix has had great Vegan restaurants in the area for years, and new ones popping up every day.  Check out our guide to Vegan restaurants for more.

Finally, many people around the country and in the Phoenix area don’t know the rich history of African Americans in the area.  Everything from Booker T. Washington speeches to Civil Rights marches have happened in Phoenix, making the area friendly to black business owners for decades.  Now, Phoenix is home to dozens of thriving black-owned restaurants and other business.  We cover as many of those restaurants as we can find in our guide to black owned restaurants in Phoenix.

Restaurants Near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

When flying into or out of Phoenix, it feels like a shame to be stuck eating airport fast food when so many amazing restaurants are waiting right outside Sky Harbor International Airport. It’s no secret that the city known as the Valley of the Sun is also a hub for foodies. Luckily, you don’t need to jet off very far from the airport to be in the thick of the city’s culinary scene. We’re talking everything from queso to ribs and more. Here’s a look at the eight best restaurants we’ve found near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
