Bacanora PHX Phoenix Reviews
Really fun place with delicious, inventive Sonoran food.
While meat rules the day here-wood fired over mesquite, the grilled trout was the standout dish. Delicious
Thanks to Bacanora for a perfect dinner and experience.
My husband and I walked away loving our first time here and can't wait to come back one day. Reservations open on the first day of the month and there are only about 6 tables inside this small corner restaurant, so they book up quick. Walk ins

It is important to note that Bacanora is a tiny establishment with only street parking. Thus, it behooves you to make a reservation if you want to try this out. We were too late to make one so we came right as they opened. They opened precisely on ti
The best octopus dish in the U.
S. is at here Bacanora. It's outstanding, as is the rest of the restaurant!
Excellent as always - have a bacanorita
We took another couple here having talked the place up for years and finally having a chance to be in Phoenix at the same time. The place is still very busy and very small, so you may get a late reservation or have to pick another night, as we ended
Service, food and atmosphere were all a 10/10.
Their menu combines flavors beautifully and the staff goes above and beyond with explaining and helping. We had Skye pick out a surprise dish for us and she did not disappoint. The elote is a must have staple and the short rib was actually insane. Po

Intimate setting, fantastic food, and family friendly service. We ordered the bone marrow appetizer and the elote. That bone marrow was next level delicious! We ordered the chicken for dinner. Definitely enough to share. We took a lot home and had le
Best restaurant in Arizona and its not even close.
My girlfriend and I went for our 2 year anniversary and i can't describe how phenomenal the service was. Restaurants have the power to hold space for the most special moments of people's life, only a few restaurants truly have excel at maki

Phoenix has a food scene that is so good -- and Bacanora is among the brightest stars. Tucked away on a colorful corner of Grand Avenue, you want to make the trip. The food here has been next level when we have been. I cannot say enough good things
4.5/5 (Yelp needs half stars!) This was a cool spot.
4.5/5 (Yelp needs half stars!) This was a cool spot. Small but bright and comfortable. The servers were great. Personable, fun, knowledgeable. We'd heard raving reviews and naturally had to come check it out for ourselves. Dishes below with th
Wonderful experience!
We were originally concerned about this restaurant due to prior reviews. Thereโs no doubt that this is a small, expensive, and musically loud restaurant. However, the food was absolutely fantastic. We started with the Elote, which was flavorful and
La comida estuvo fenomenal.
El sabor de mesquite en el carbรณn le da un toque especial al sabor de toda la comida. El servicio de nuestra mesera fue muy bueno. Fue muy atenta. Si el lugar es muy pequeรฑo pero haciendo una reservaciรณn te atienden pronto. Si estuviera un poco mร
We have been dying to go here for two years.
Their open-flame with a wood fired grill is what really got me hooked. The ambiance, authenticity and love they have for not only their food, but their service is unmatched. To the food: 1. Hiramasa Crudo: the flavor profile and the freshness of th
Very smooth operation.
We counted eight tables and the bar. Cocktails and food were well prepared and delicious.

Finally had the chance to try Bacanora--and it was worth the wait. Parking: No dedicated lot, but there's free street parking and an adjacent lot that doesn't appear to have restrictions. Just double-check the signs. Atmosphere: Small, cu
Bacanora is a must visit when in Phoenix.
The experience is like no other. The restaurant is small and fits a few people at any given time so check in was outside. Make a reservation ahead of time or test your luck for a seat at the bar with limited seating. Durning the summer it's more
Yes you can miss this
Far too loud to hear anything anyone tries to say. Music obnoxious. Food wholly average and small portions. Had to ask for new clean plates and assist with clearing plates. Out of wine. Food average small portions. Will not return. Overpriced and cl
Loved it !!
Loved Bacanora ! Took a few tries to get a reservation but so glad we did. Outstanding food and service, enjoyed both our cocktails and wine! Small and charming atmosphere ! Snapper was fantastic, also enjoyed the ceviche, elote and chicken dinner.
Genuine Taste of Mexico
If you're in the mood for Mexican, Bacanora or Huarache is a must! The food to the ambiance is welcoming capturing the lively spirit of Mexico. The service is friendly and attentive.
Good food and horrible dinning experience
This place has good food but terrible customer service and business practices. They are rude and take you entire order all at once with the goal of getting you in and out as quickly as possible. Their main goal is to flip tables. Went there on our an
Great ambience and great service.
Food is ok but for the price point and hype... it feels overpriced and overated. We ordered guac and chips, ceviche, a charred pumpking and ribs. The best was the charred pumpkin. ribs lacked flavor. The bar is good. Overall, we were a bit dissapoint

Imagine if a restaurant didn't open up reservations for a month until the first day of that month. That would make no sense. Fortunately this is not how Bacanora does it. They open up reservations for the following month on the first of each month. A

The food was delicious, we shared 3 different items and every bite was phenomenal. The service was on point and the food came out quickly.

Bacanora is an absolute gem! I don't have anything bad to say about my experience here. It's amazing how carefully crafted all the dishes were and how they honored the flavors of each and every ingredient. We had the mushroom tacos - they were love
Amazing meal! Service was excellent too.
We had a feast. Ribeye was perfect, tortillas were amazing and the cocktails great too.
Save your time and money.
It's one of those let's not and say we did circumstances. Their website has menu items that are NOT being served, the chicken was dry, they gave 3 shrimp for 36$, overpriced drinks, and the bean dip was too spicy for most people at our table. Don't g
I was excited to finally get a reservation.
Brought my parents to celebrate my father's birthday. Lots of hype for this place so I decided to take a chance. I typically wouldn't invite other people unless I'm familiar with a place. Pros: The food was edible and the service team was polite an
If the service was better and wait times were less than it
If the service was better and wait times were less than it would deserve 4 stars for the overall experience. Food was not good enough to have such poor service and long wait times.

Bacanora is the hot ticket in Phoenix now, getting a James Beard nomination and write-ups in all the big publications. Since we couldn't score a reservation we decided to try coming on a Saturday morning at ten a.m. The good news is we walked right i
Yum, yum, yum.
Really fun place with delicious and inventive and perfectly executed food. Great, friendly and helpful staff. The pollo asado was the best and the sides perhaps stole the show with the rajas as a standout. Only thing that was just ok was the ellot
Well friends, the hype is REAL.
It may take you a real long time to get a lucky reservation, but when you do, get excited because your tastebuds will be dancing. The restaurant itself has about 6 tables and a few seats at the bar, hence the tough-to-get res because it is so small,
This place was an experience, that's for sure.
We were lucky enough to snag an 8pm, Friday reservation and it did not disappoint. The charred cabbage was fantastic. The elote was pretty small for the price. Service was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. 4 stars because someone puked all ov

It was really good! The small atmosphere made it feel more intimate. The corn was good but it was a very small cob and I like when they offer to cut it off for you (which they did not). The carne asada burrito was incredible and the green salsa packe

This review is focused for vegans/vegetarians After waiting months and months we finally made it to this place! Honestly, we'd hyped it up in our minds, we were hoping to some of the best food in Phoenix. We were...disappointed. Service and Ambia
Great Sat morning breakfast
My wife and I are from out of state and my sister and brother in law booked breakfast reservations for the 4 of us. Great service and amazing meals. We all got something different and did shared plates. Favorite meals the trip!!
Look, anybody that considers themselves a foodie.
..has at one time or another...wondered if their opinion was influenced by another review. It's human nature. No matter how unbiased and candid I consider myself, when a place makes the top 50 NYT restaurant list...it's hard not to take notice. That
Such a cool experience.
Been wanting to try Bacanora for a long time and it didn't disappoint. Make sure to get the elote. And also be ready for a little spice in a lot the dishes. The burrito and Tierra y mar were a little spicier than expected but super flavorful! Service
Cozy, Hip and Delicious
We were lucky enough to get a last minute reservation- we visited in person the day before- and we werenโt disappointed! The food was delicious- each dish was flavorful and different. We ordered cucumber salad and a charred cabbage side dishes. The

We were excited to have scored a reservation for dinner last week. When we we arrived for our 5:00 reservation, there wasn't a line and one table and a handful of bar seating was open for the first hour. I know every evening is different, but if yo
Always an amazing meal - have the steak
My wife and I came in for a date night while in Phoenix. We were able to get a reservation just before closing (but I understand you can now get reservations on Resy where you used to have to show up right at 5 pm at opening or face waiting several
No where near worth the hype.
After seeing this restaurant be compared to and featured along side great restaurants I'd enjoyed around the country I was interested in trying it out. Starting with the service, being very subpar. If you were under the impression that being a "
Is not as great as they say.
Food is way overpriced. Too much for the fame, they don't treat you right is not the most exclusive place calm down. is ok
Finally got to eat here.
I assumed given the hype and unavailability of reservations that you absolutely needed one to get in. To my luck, a friend "gifted" me their reservation as they couldn't attend anymore. Yeah that's what I thought it took to eat here.Arrive

It's really tough for any restaurant with this much hype and attention to exceed expectations, but man, they pulled it off. Elote, ceviche verde, hamachi crudo, cucumber salad, and the TOMAHAWK PLATTER. Absolutely tremendous food. The tomahawk is cer

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bacanora PHX Phoenix at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bacanora PHX Phoenix page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CandidReceipt32, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CandidReceipt32 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CandidReceipt32 for any questions Peter may have as CandidReceipt32 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CandidReceipt32 now uses their connections at Bacanora PHX Phoenix to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CandidReceipt32 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CandidReceipt32 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CandidReceipt32's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bacanora PHX Phoenix!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
