"James beard nominee 2022. Small menu, but chicken for dez. Rene Andrade, a native of Nogales, Mexico, is preparing some of the most vibrant Sonoran food in greater Phoenix on a single Santa Maria-style grill fired with three kinds of wood. Most dishes see the hot grates — carne asada, octopus, finfish, half chickens, potatoes, elotes, even pots of plump pinto beans. Tonging tome-thick steaks and squeezing lime over chiltepin-flecked aguachiles, Andrade glances up to greet diners streaming into his tiny dining room on Grand Avenue. He approaches caramelos and burritos with the technique and rigor of a veteran chef, yet they remain homestyle. And yes, a limited cocktail menu mixes in plenty of bacanora. "

"Grab a bar seat close to the kitchen and watch Sonoran-born chef/owner Rene Andrade and his team play with literal fire as they command the flame from the massive custom-built grill. At any given moment, you’ll find elote blackening (above), homemade flour tortillas warming, spatchcocked chickens charring, and massive bone-in rib-eye steaks searing, all above burning mesquite. Don’t snooze on the small-plate specials—Andrade will often do cold crudos and acidic aguachiles that help balance the menu."

"Strong smell but delicious food. Tiny menu but each item was perfect. Very sugary drinks if you order incorrectly. "
