Arizona Restaurant Week 2025: Our Must-Try Picks
And we’re back! Arizona Restaurant Week has officially come to an end, and we’ve wrapped up our list of must-trys. We’re going to share our top three picks from this season’s lineup. With so many incredible restaurants to choose from, narrowing it down wasn’t easy.
If you’re still looking for a last-minute spot (or planning ahead for the next ARW), here’s our take on three restaurants worth adding to your foodie list.
Chilte: Phoenix’s Wildly Inventive Ode to New-School Mexican Cuisine
We didn’t plan to dive into another Mexican cuisine post so soon, but we JUST had to talk about Chilte. Why? It all started with our love of cooking competition shows, specifically, 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing on Food Network. Season two introduced us to a fresh lineup of 24 chefs, including thee Chef Lawrence “LT” Smith, the culinary mind behind Chilte.
Provecho Food Truck: A Bite of Mexico in Phoenix
Nestled right outside Barcoa Agaveria, Provecho feels less like just a food truck and more like a permanent fixture in the Phoenix dining scene. Whether you’re wrapping up a cocktail-filled night at Barcoa or simply need a solid meal break between rounds, Provecho is there—posted up, ready to deliver bold flavors and fresh ingredients like it’s their life’s mission.
