The Larder + The Delta 200 West Portland Street, #101 Some dishes in this town are perfect and should never be punched up or dialed down. One is the chicken skins at The Larder + The Delta. Chef Stephen Jones skins are a little deeper in color, a little heavier in weight, a little crookier (they have as many nooks and crannies as an English muffin). And on top, the skins are coated in desert blossom honey, infused with lavender, and sprinkled with orange zest. What sets this dish apart is the lavender; the smell alone almost more than the taste.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free. Since we started
920 East University Drive, #204, Tempe We do not have mild words for the extra-spicy Tropical Heat margarita from GuacStar. The chile de árbol is hot, apparently six times hotter than a jalapeño according to the menu. However, the immediate hit of the pineapple puree, mixed with the God-sent avocado pit and cilantro-infused tequila, gives it a nice balance. What s more, all specialty margaritas are $6 during Guactail hour, which is 4 to 6 p.m. daily. Just remember, you have to descend those brick stairs, so maybe cap it at three.
Suave Margarita Barrio Cafe 2814 North 16th Street, #1205 This tropical take on the classic cocktail is sure to brighten your afternoon, though if you re dining at Chef Silvana Salcido Esparza beloved Barrio Cafe you re probably already having a good day. All margaritas here are killer, but the Suave adds a little something. It s a mix of Chamucos Blanco Tequila with agave, pineapple, cilantro, and lime, and it s heaven.
