| - Okay, a little disclaimer for bias. Having known the family of this establishment my whole life, I can personally attest to their devotion to their food, the customers and the atmosphere. The Garcia family first hit a home run with their original deli location at Christown Mall. When they moved out of Christown they opened up a pair of locations with huge fanfare both at the Colonade and at Arrowhead Mall. To be honest, I didn't think the Colonade would do all that well as they were invisible from Camelback Road. Little did I know the following this place had. Everytime I've gone the place has been jumping. And rightfully so.
When you walk in you immediately notice the fun color scheme as well as how clean it looks. The aroma from the hot line is as alluring as you'd expect. No waiters or reservations here. Just hop in line and order your dish from the cooks as they make it right in front of you.
My tried and true favorite is the brisket sandwich on kaiser bread with a side of fruit and a slice of one of their fresh pies to boot. Sometimes I'll grab some pastrami or corn beef as an alternative. They've also got burgers and kosher hot dogs if you prefer. Other sides include chili, fries, mac and cheese, or one of a number of soups. The food is delicious but simple. And whatever you order, you'll feel like you're in a New York style deli (without the NY attitude of course).
So why only 4 stars instead of 5? Well for one, this hip deli near the Biltmore area isn't cheap. True, you get what you pay for, but I couldn't afford to eat here everyday. A good meal here usually runs around $15 -$20 so just be aware of that. Also, this place is wicked busy, especially during dinner. Usually you can find a seat, but it can get pretty noisy in there. Don't let this scare you away though. Especially if you live in the central Phoenix area. Alot of the folks who eat here are people from the neighborhood so its highly possible you'll run into someone you know. If you're on the west side, their location at Arrowhead Mall won't disappoint either.
Let's give props to the folks at Miracle Mile. This small family operation has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, but you'd never know it talking to the owners. The same humble attention to good food, a good atmosphere, and a neighborhood following still holds strong after all these years. Success clearly hasn't changed this family recipe.
