Best Gluten Free Restaurants in Downtown Phoenix

I got excellent service from my waiter, Ever, and my bartender, Hannah. I didn’t expect such great service. I rewarded them monetarily, but I think they might need some verbal recognition from management, too. Hannah made me a great Lemon Drop martini, and Ever was ever so accommodating to any request I made. I also received a great greeting from Bella, too, receptionist / server.

They were so very accommodating considering that we had a reservation for six people and four of the people were very late. They let us wait as long as we needed to and we’re so kind about it the whole time. My girlfriend and I absolutely love this restaurant And this will definitely not be our last visit.

Great food and ambience. Drinks were fun and tasted good. Service was good and we got sat right at our time of reservation. Service was great and live music was perfect for the evening.

Bacanora lives up to the buzz——lively, yet intimate. Casual and effortlessly cool. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient waitstaff. Super background music that keeps the energy up but doesn’t drown conversation. And the food! We ordered elote, calabaza, and mole-crusted ribs with frijoles and cilantro salad. More than enough for the two of us, but we made room for flan. All delicious and different. And the cocktails! We had an old-fashioned-type and a classic martini-type, both with Mexican spirits. It’s worth the effort to score a reservation.

The food was amazing, with more of a Mexican comfort food offering compared to their highly acclaimed sister restaurant, Bacanora. Flavorful, unique, and pleasing to the eye. The signature drinks were strong, complex and satisfying. Be warned, if an entree has a higher price, it’s for good reason. We made the mistake of ordering carne asada fries, 8 tacos and a few starters/sides and ended up going home with 3 boxes of food for the four of us to indulge in the next day. The jicama salad was a highlight of the meal while serving as a great palate cleanser with its refreshing yet spicy flavors. This restaurant has become a top contender on our list of local spots around Phoenix for special occasions and showing visitors what our amazing city has to offer for gastro culture.
