Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Nice place of the beaten path. .. sort of. The tuna melt wad very good and they had a nice selection of draft beers. The server, Alyssa, was great. Def a do-over.

This place is still trying to figure itself out. The decor is simple, so it made me think they must be saving all of the excitement for the food. I ordered chicken tinga and some pork tacos. The meat in both tacos was pretty decent, but the tortillas were too oily. I suggest frying the tortilla longer or just grilling them? I'd love to give them a second try, perhaps to try one of their specialty dishes.

This place is super fun! Had a great experience here a few months ago looking for a low-key hangout in Downtown Phoenix. I was pleasantly surprised with the live latin jazz and the food options were great too! I recommend if you're looking for a smaller place free of heavily intoxicated people, this is the place to go.

Came here around noon on a Saturday... 4 stars for food n friendliness. Rib eye tacos are great! Food seems reasonably priced but the beers are 6 dollars. The Micheladas are 8.50. Oof. That's super expensive, in my opinion. We'll come back to eat, then drink where the prices are much more reasonable. Staff were extremely friendly and cannot emphasize that enough. The owner (i think) was super friendly and brought the chef out for us to answer our food questions. Place needs a lot more ambiente (ambience) though in order for people to feel like they want to hang out n drink, n eat, n drink more. The back of house had music n you.could hear them singing....Just.wish they'd bring that up front.

Good food, reasonable prices, and friendly service in a space with a distinct Latin flair (bachata music was playing when my friend and I dined here). The enchilada I ordered was covered in Oaxacan mole - just take note of that, as people who are accustomed to standard red or green enchilada sauces may not be used to this dark, sweet preparation.
(4)Bacon B.
After one visit, I was sold on this place. I ordered the gordita de chicharron plate and was wonderfully surprised. Initially, I was imagining larger chunks of chicharron but the gorditas were filled with a finer chopped protein. I brought some in for my coworker and he's planning to head there with me soon.

My friend and I wandered in here looking for lunch. The place was absolutely empty and the decor is very much night club. I was hesitant to stay and order but my friend insisted. I'm so glad I listened to her. Lunch was delicious. I had three tacos (chicken, beef & pork) ordered a la cart. My friend had queso blanco enchiladas. The food was fresh and flavorful. We were both absolutely thrilled with our lunches. Service was attentive(duh, we were the only people there) and very friendly. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu.
(5)Vanessa G.
99 cent margaritas on a Tuesday? Awesome Tacos? Great Empanadas? If you said yes please to any of these questions.. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE! So close to 5 stars.. this place is a hidden gem. Its hidden behind pomo pizzeria, and a whole different atmosphere. The food is fantastic, now lets work on our cocktails. My pina colada was... well.. not fantastic. The food i got made up for that. Loved this place and will definitely be going back.

Food was good but they service sucked and the check can faster then my drink and the bar tender was a ass hole... Never again I promise

We came here for my brothers birthday party. Oh God they had the worst customer service. First of all, my friend and her mother came along and order chips and salsa and the waitress said "oh we are out." She didn't even apologize or anything then we asked for water and the water tasted horrible!!!! We told her the water tasted horrible and she said " well let me check if we have bottle water." Her face expression was horrible. Never coming to this place again! !!
(1)Rigo C.
Horrible place, had their coctel de elote and got some canned yellow corn! Hope it was a bad night, singers were drunk as hell or they sounded like it. Couldn't get the guts to try anything else. Thank God its in the back hidden! No one should endure this pain!
(1)Gabriel R.
Absolutely love the music and the food. Real Mexican food with a great environment. Make sure you stop by if your in the area and having the tacos is an absolute must.
(5)Mike H.
the first clue was that we were the only ones in there for lunch. for 13.50 (thank god we had a groupon) the enchildas suizas was probably worth about 4.00. and on top of that, they left off the onions and cilantro that was on the menu to make it sound yummy. 13.50 and still hungry. maybe this place is jumping at night. the pieces of steak in the salad was very good though....oh, by the way that was 10.50, for 4.00 worth of meat...

My husband and I were looking to go out to eat downtown after his gig and thought we would check out the new restaurant next to the Turf...Pomo. Well. Guess not. They were closing at 11 and we were ready to eat and drinka nd hang out on the patio. SENS, why did you MOVE? I don't like the new patio you have...sorry... I digress. Anyhow, as the story goes, we were standing around thinking maybe we would have an amazing rum drink at Breadfruit and then we heard music. Did I mention my hubby is a musician? LIve music? In this building? Wow...let's check it out. We head towards the back to what is now called "Squash Blossom" and wondering to ourselves "didn't the big sign outside say Breakfast and Lunch only?" Hmm...this is promising... And it was amazing. It was like walking into another world. The seemingly boring back space that was impossible to fill when it was the PastaBAR is now hopping and I mean - HOPPING with people listening to latin music and dancing and drinking and loving life. We had to be part of it...so we waited for a table to open up and snagged it and ordered late night eats and drank fun drinks that we had NO IDEA was in them and listened to live music and had a BLAST. Everything is in Spanish, even the name...which we quickly realized was a Spanish version of Squash Blossom (who they share the space with). Brilliant (I love stuff like that). We were served by no less than 4 folks (primarily a fellow named David who was so charming!) who hovered over the tables like bees on flowers. It was skillful and terribly flattering. I loved that they cared. They asked for feedback on the amazing guacamole and offered suggestions on some fun drinks. They asked us to come back again. Who does that? REALLY who does that? They came by, shook our hands and looked me in the eyes and said "we would love it if you came by again and joined us for dinner, thank you for coming." Honestly, ithis was one of the most remarkable experiences I have had in Phoenix. The unique food and drinks as well as the lovely service and amazing patrons of this "Latin Lounge" made us feel perfectly at home - even though we don't know how to salsa or speak spanish. The music was wonderful, the band was fun and upbeat. And for you single folks, there were plenty of tables of ladies and some swarthy good-looking men to meet as well. I would definately check this place out...we plan to go back for dinner very soon! What a find....

I heard so much about this place my and my husband came tonight to enjoy a dinner my drink mefias de seda was really good but the food ......I ordered Chile en Nogada if you speak Spanish is on the name nogada the sauce have to have pecans this one is a SWEET sauce way to sweet for be a dinner plate they put cranberries in top come on the traditional plate gets dinner pomegranate seed on top Not cranberries the beans from a can really mexican joint with beans from a can and the rice flavorless very disappointed maybe we give it another try for the tortas but I'm not sure

The service there was horrible. I walked in and didn't see a hostess. Finally sat down at the bar and looked at a menu. Was acknowledged but never got service. The bartender and another gentleman were too busy discussing business. Waited patiently for 15 minutes and finally just got up and walked out.

Squash Blossom is closed, replace by this awesome Mexican joint. From the art on the walls to the cocktails served in real glasses to the live music and flamenco dancer, this place has improved by no less than 3,000%. Let's face it, Squash Blossom was a little weird. It always felt like one of those motel restaurants you eat at when you're driving through bat country. The new look and feel is definitely less weird, and in fact has a great ambiance. We went for an appetizer and drink, just to check it out. We had the guacamole, which was fantastic. Very fresh and lime-y, with an added bonus of what I believe to be currants, but may have been craisens. Either way, it was delish. We also had the quesadilla, which was fried. It's hard to mess up fried cheese, and this did not disappoint. Served with fresh tortillas, this was a perfect snack before a night out on the town. I asked the waitress (who was super nice and very helpful) what her favorite cocktail was, and she recommended The Bull. I don't know what was in it, but DAMN was it good. All I know is there was fresh lime juice. Highly recommended. To top it off, the kitchen is open late, which is a great addition for downtown Phoenix, because that's an area we are currently lacking in. They are open for brunch on Sunday, I can't wait to try it out!

We went for lunch today at 11:30 and the doors were locked despite signs all over saying "now open" so I'm giving it 1 star. There were waiters inside who quickly moved away from the door when we approached. I have no idea what that was about. We'd love to try it and will give it a shot again later, but it was an odd experience to say the least.
(1)Jennifer O.
Wow.... this place may have a translated name of Squash Blossom, but it is nothing like the old squash blossom... in a good way! They completely redecorated and it now has a Latin club feel. A friend and I wandered in here Saturday night after I saw their open sign through the long hallway and wondered to myself....why is that breakfast place open at 9pm? Anyway, we sat at the bar and it was kind of awesome. We met a couple at the bar that were a lot of fun and we all did many shots...We did some series of shots that included tequila, lime juice, clamato, and beer... very interesting! We also did esperma shots (because of the funny name) which were good, shots of fireball with rum chata (delicious), and we had some of their pina colada based drinks that were sweet and tasty. The bar tender was nice and the prices were affordable (shots = 4$, drinks = 6 ish?). The place is on the loud side and I believe they had a DJ. As it got later, the bar got busier but the service remained very efficient and friendly. I had a great time here and would definitely come back. PS Their food smelled SO good.....I want to try it ASAP... will update.
