I wish there were more than 5 Stars to give to this extraordinary dining experience.
Incredibly delicious, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented food with hearty, value-driven portions.

Ocotillo is genuinely one of the finest dining experiences I've had in the Phoenix Metro area. It's on par with Quiessence and Binkley's without the big price tag. The slightly austere, industrial decor is the perfect, casual backdrop to allow the food to take center stage.
The complexity of the flavor profiles was beyond compare. Anyone that understands cooking would realize that the food at Ocotillo is prepared with the kind of precision that only comes without measuring; by truly knowing food intimately, like a longtime family friend.
Chef Sasha sent out some beautiful appetizers for my birthday and Alissa was very patient with our initial indecision about drinks and very attentive afterward throughout the meal.
I cannot say enough about Ocotillo. I wish I hadn't waited so long to visit. Highly, highly recommended. Even if you're not a serious foodie, you will love the experience.
