| - (Have been back now three times since the original review. This place is awesome. I've had drinks, coffee, appetizers and a bunch of different entrees with my wife. Everything is good.)
I went in to this place to hear a couple of my music buddies play near the beginning of 2010. I knew nothing of the food or the place. Because I was by myself, I got a table immediately which was not normal on a Saturday. (There was a line out of the door at 8:30pm.)
I got to the third item on the menu as described below:
"C H I L E S en N O G A D A
Roasted poblano pepper stuffed with chicken, onions,garlic, pecans, apples, pears and apricots finished with a delicate almond sacue and pomegranates $21"
I didn't read any further. This is what I ate. It was one of the most interesting and tasty entrees I have ever had in Phoenix. I was thinking about it all week, I tried to describe it to my wife but I couldn't.
The people who claim that the parking and neighborhood are less than ideal are not lying, but it's not that bad. Honestly, I would risk having my car stolen to eat this food. Heck, I might risk stealing your car to have this food. Look, if you want safe, I'm sure you have a Chili's near your house that will gladly allow you to share your money with them.
I want to give the place 5 stars, but I think all I had was this one entree and probably water. I remember liking the olive and bread that came before the meal, but my recollection is blurred by the Chiles en Nogada. I really need to go back to verify if this will be a long term thing or a one-time fling.
