Description

Restaurateur Julian Wright, who also owns nearby La Bocca Urban Pizzeria + Wine Bar, has created a vibrant, stylish Mill Avenue hangout that showcases chef Luis Millan's scrumptious contemporary Mexican fare (don't miss the carne asada tacos on homemade tortillas, and the heady rum raisin rice pudding for dessert), as well as more than 100 kinds of premium tequila and mescal.

    Canteen's atmosphere and drinks, I enjoy. Canteen's food...not so much. I've tried it three different times - from wings on the appetizer menu, to fish tacos (extremely fishy tasting), to an enchilada dish with a very off-putting sauce - each time, just blah. Go for some different margaritas, like the Sonoran or Hibiscus, and hang out in their cushy booths or on the back patio - just be sure to eat before you come.

    If you can make it past the throngs of ASU students on Mill Avenue feeling the effects of 21st-birthday shots and chanting what sounds like a mix between the school fight song and a fraternity anthem, head straight through the doors of Canteen Modern Tequila Bar. The server will know exactly what you need to drown out the noise and won't assume you want whatever's cheap alongside a heap of salt and a slice of lime. At Canteen, tequila is sacred and comes in more than 100 types, and it's all... More »

    Tacos, tacos, and more tacos -- that's what's on the menu at this popular Tempe hangout. Snag a seat on the restaurant/tequila bar's wrap-around patio for prime people-watching and killer margaritas. From 4 to 6:30 p.m., the appropriately named "Halfy Hour" offers everything on the beer and tequila menus for half price, as well as house margaritas, well drinks, and a decent-size selection of food. Skip the fish tacos and go straight for the pibil pork variety -- and don't forget... More »

  • 2011 | Best Tequila Selection

    Canteen most definitely deserves the "modern" in its name, with contemporary design and a luxe atmosphere. The bar is particularly notable, decorated by upward of 100 types of various blanco, reposado, and aņejo tequilas on display (with a bit of mescal added for good measure). To sweeten the deal, Canteen offers a daily "Halfy Hour," when their ridiculously huge tequila selection is half-priced. Specialty tequilas, ranging from $3.50 to upwards of $30 after the discount, are so varied that th... More »
