Nestled in the heart of historic Grand Avenue, Bacanora defies tradition with its ambiance, intimacy, and flavors. Born from the visionary mind of James Beard award-winning Rene Andrade, Bacanora isn’t just a restaurant; but rather an experience. Rene and his team have shaped Bacanora into a haven for those seeking a taste of home and a warm hug with hospitality. Sticking to the roots of Sonoran cuisine, everything is carefully crafted over open flame y puro amor at Bacanora. If he’s up, then Phoenix is up!

Why they're an Icon

    James Beard Award

    2024

From the OpenTable editors: Bacanora fired up the grill in Phoenix city centre in 2021, quickly making a nationwide splash with praise pouring in from The New York Times, Esquire, and local outlets – leading to a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest in 2024 for Rene Andrade. It's all thanks to Andrade's flavourful Sonoran cuisine – think tomahawk steaks and pineapples dangling over an open flame – agave cocktails, and natural wine in the casual, intimate space.

    Fantastic experience, it feels like the perfect hole in the wall but with wonderful food worthy of the James Beard award they earned. The sauce on the Ceviche was masterful, the flavors in every one of their salsas perfectly balanced. The LONE nitpick I could find was the $300 price tag on the steak dish, would have loved to try it, but I can’t see how spending $224 more than the chicken platter could possibly be worth the additional cost. Would love to see a second more reasonable steak option here.

     The food was wonderful. The location was intimate, and the booze was strong.

    Bacanora lives up to its reputation for wonderful, flavorful food. Everything is cooked on an open wood fired grill that is at the back of the restaurant. We had the pollo asado which came with the best grilled chilies I've ever had. Two of us shared this dish and then had leftovers! Can't wait go back!
