About
This neighborhood restaurant is the sort of place you dream about finding -- flavorful food, big portions, moderate prices. What's not to like Well, it is a bit out-of-the-way if you're just visiting Phoenix, but don't let that scare you off. Start with the guacamole and the bacon-wrapped shrimp, and then maybe order the same thing again. Next, order buttermilk chicken with the heavenly mashed sweet potatoes. If you're really hungry, opt for the pork osso buco (pork shank) with green chili sauce. The space is dark and a bit rustic, with a ranch feel and cowboy art on the walls.
