Tru Tacos in Arcadia

For three nights each week, you can head to Tru Tacos! This gorgeous pop-up restaurant is a delight for all locals in Arcadia. It features a small menu of tacos and sides; a special shout-out goes to the carne asada! If you love things hot and spicy, make sure to try their Flamin’ Hot Cheetos tortilla! It’s incredible. And, to wash it down, try out their fabulous margaritas. Tru Tacos is available for both takeout and dine-in!

Toca Madera in Scottsdale

Toca Madera is a modern take on traditional Mexican cuisine, featuring unique plates and specialty craft cocktails. But for me, the cherry on top of this delicious restaurant is the outdoor eating area. It is so exquisitely designed, with elegant orbs hanging overhead and elevated greenery. You can keep cozy all year round at this restaurant with marble-laid outdoor firepits. It’s a dining experience unlike any other!

Elements in Paradise Valley

This New-American-style restaurant is a taste experience! With flavor combinations like soy caramel and escargot, beets, and pistachio-mint chimichurri, this resort restaurant focuses on taste twists. It’s also beautiful, and should be thought of as a special occasion splurge! It’s located by Sanctuary on Camelback – what a gorgeous way to end a luxury spa day than at this restaurant!

These restaurants are simply a delight for both the eyes, the experience, and most importantly, your taste buds. I will continue to blog about my dining and food experiences in Phoenix because I know the food we have here is an experience unlike any other!
