  • To understand La Merced, a Mexico City-style restaurant in Mesa, you could start with its flautas, a dish that challenges the notion that good things have to come in small packages. Nearly double the size of those you might find elsewhere in the Valley, the flour tortillas, full of moist shredded chicken or beef spiced with chiles and tomatoes, are rolled and fried until they resemble...

  • Mergence is one of those Phoenix bands that garners incredible local hype for its talents while simultaneously admitting that such popularity would be considerably less likely in New York or Los Angeles. While the plaudits of the critics generally are a bit over the top, the band really does have a good thing going on. Featuring Adam Bruce on vocals, guitar, and keyboards, guitarist Yod...

  • rickyleepotts rickyleepotts wrote a review for Frank & Lupe's Old Mexico

    04/29/13

    This place came highly recommended, as we have been looking for a good locally owned Mexican place for quite a while. Someone said their shrimp cocktail was legendary. I didn't see it on the menu, but asked our server about the ceviche. She said that is what used to be called the shrimp cocktail, so we ordered that. Holy cow was this thing good. Go here for that...

    04/24/13

    A craving for burritos brought me to Asadero Norte De Sonora last night for dinner, as well as the fact that they won Phoenix New Times' Best Burrito award last year and they're real close to where I live. The chicken burro did NOT disappoint -- the chicken was juicy and awesome, it was HUGE, and it came with little tubs of guacamole and salsa -- for $5. I...

    02/12/13

    I left the Valley almost 20 years ago and my mouth still waters at the mention of Rito's. I used to live in the neighborhood and it was a weekly pilgrimage for me to get my fix of their superb green chili, which I've not been able to replicate anywhere. My most recent visit was a weekday afternoon in November, 2012, when I got my burro and sat down on a table...
