Who says Phoenix is all Mexican food? Not these guys who have brought a refreshing Peruvian menu to central PHX. Try the lomo saltado and dont leave without a pisco or maracuya sour cocktail.

Drinks & Nightlife
My top recommendation for where to go, they have at least 30 craft beers on draft at all time on a constantly rotating menu. Food is highly rated as well.

I dont often recommend places outside of central Phoenix, but this place is worth it. The best craft brewery within the valley, if you find yourself heading east, make this a pit stop.

Rotating restaurant on top floor of the Hyatt. Great views of the valley. Doesn't get a lot of visitors so usually no need for reservations. A bit pricy.
