Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in North Central Phoenix

First time visiting the restaurant and found the food to be authentic and refreshing. The staff was very welcoming and helpful throughout the service. Worth coming back and bring others to enjoy the overall experience.

Having worked in the restaurant business, you have a higher expectation of what an experience should be. Food becomes bland, poor service is the norm, and you pick everything apart. My wife and I have elaborate discussions during most dinners about how everything has no care or love anymore, and eating is just passing the time. Nothing stands out. I will say this dinner was one of the best overall meals I can remember. The food had flavor for days, and the service was exceptional. Thank you for having a Chilean wine on the menu! That banana ice cream was unreal and was a great finish to the dinner. Thank you for letting me be a part of your culinary journey.

Great new spot! Give yourself time for parking, or Uber, or Waymo. Totally recommend THE SPIRIT PHOENIX, our new local siganture cocktail…With homemade Chiltepin mesquite honey syrup, prickly pear fruit, and lemon juice from lemon’s !!!! Atrue garden-to-glass experience. 🍹💥🌵

This is the purest expression of Sonoran food in Arizona I’ve had so far. Tremendous work with amazing vision. The people, the dishes, it was all rooted in tradition but cooked at an incredibly high level of skill. Plus the staff was unbelievably patient and kind. I had shown up earlier and my friends ran incredibly late. They were very patient and assured me it was fine. I wish I could’ve tipped more.

This was such a find! The service, was excellent and the menu was so unique and freshly made. More than impressed by ambiance and style of Mexican cuisine.
