Description:
Since it opened, folks have been clamoring to this hopping, no-reservations-accepted restaurant for its inventive southern Mexican cuisine. Abandoned are bland burritos and tacos in favor of lush, richly layered flavors achieved with zesty chiles, authentic cheeses, and complex moles. Start with guacamole prepared tableside and then consider cochinita pibil, a delectable slow-roasted pork dish. Grilled steaks, seared duck breast, and seafood enchiladas are also much-requested. Plus, there's no better dessert than deep-fried fritters with goats' milk caramel – ask anyone. |

Houston's |
|
(Restaurants - Lunch) |
|
2425 E Camelback Rd, Phoenix 85016 • 602-957-9700 |
|
|
| |
Description:
BILTMORE. Although part of a national chain, this restaurant is amazingly good. It's not difficult to get in, but there's often a wait for a table, given its popularity. To pass the time, hang out at the bar and enjoy the relaxed ambience and diverse clientele. Then, sink back into a deep booth amid dark woods and brick, and try to figure out what you'll eat from their strong menu. Steaks, fresh fish, roasted chicken, burgers, and salads are among the possibilities. Great for business lunches and after-work drinks too. |

Maharaja Palace |
|
(Restaurants - Lunch) |
|
5775 W Bell Rd, Glendale 85308 • 602-547-1000 |
|
|
| |
Description:
GLENDALE. Depth of flavor is a hallmark of Indian fare, courtesy of myriad spices and lots of earthy preparations. The cuisine is also marked by juxtapositions of spicy and cool, wet and dry, textured and smooth. Maharaja Palace balances all these qualities beautifully, as evidenced in options like tandoori chicken, shrimp vindaloo, palak paneer, and shrimp korma. Lots of vegetarian dishes are available, and the sizeable menu promises plenty of choices. A great lunch buffet is an added plus, but do know that with a la carte meals, everything is priced separately. |
