10Best Says

This central Phoenix bar and grill is named after the historic Sierra Bonita Ranch in Southeastern Arizona. The restaurant offers an authentic Southwestern culinary experience, dishing out menu favorites such as their house Cowboy Stew, made from braised beef, hominy, carrots, onions and chiles in a rich beef broth, then garnished with crispy sweet potato strips and served with a warmed flour tortilla (fried egg on top is optional). For a hearty take on traditional Tex-Mex cooking, try the smoked Red or Green Chile Pork Roast, a smoked pork roast served with charro beans, roasted tomato rice, salsa fresca and a warmed flour tortilla.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Patricia Escarcega
Phoenix, Scottsdale Local Expert

Tex-Mex: "Come here for one of the tastiest Happy Hours in town, Monday through Sunday from 3 to 6 p.m."
Southwestern: "Happy hour deals are available from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the bar."

Best for Tex-Mex Because: Sierra Bonita Grill captures the spirit of Southwestern cooking without resorting to kitsch, but rather focusing on great ingredients and service.
Best for Southwestern Because: Sierra Bonita Grill offers Arizona-inspired dishes that bubble over with the flavors of traditional Southwestern cooking, including chiles, wood-fired meats, and spicy stews.
