About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions

Nestled in the heart of historic Grand Avenue, Bacanora defies tradition with its ambiance, intimacy, and flavors. Born from the visionary mind of James Beard award-winning Rene Andrade, Bacanora isn’t just a restaurant; but rather an experience. Rene and his team have shaped Bacanora into a haven for those seeking a taste of home and a warm hug with hospitality. Sticking to the roots of Sonoran cuisine, everything is carefully crafted over open flame y puro amor at Bacanora. If he’s up, then Phoenix is up!

RESERVATIONS FOR MARCH WILL BECOME AVAILABLE TO BOOK ON FEBRUARY 1ST AT 9:00AM!
You may still experience a wait time upon arrival due to reservations being booked back-to-back at all tables. Please practice patience and understanding if this occurs because we are working as hard as possible to get everyone sat on time and to have a great experience.

Parking can be found in the parking lot across McKinley from the restaurant, it is reserved for guests of Bragg’s and neighbors.

Why they're an Icon

James Beard Award2024

From the OpenTable editors: Bacanora fired up the grill in downtown Phoenix in 2021, quickly making a nationwide splash with praise pouring in from The New York Times, Esquire, and local outlets—leading to a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest in 2024 for Rene Andrade. It's all thanks to Andrade's flavorful Sonoran cuisine—think tomahawk steaks and pineapples dangling over an open flame—agave cocktails, and natural wine in the casual, intimate space.

The food was amazing, very tasteful and fresh. We got the cucumber salad, elote and NY steak. The building is an intimate experience, very unique and you can smell the cooking from your seat. Drinks are great and service was fantastic Would go back

I was thrilled to finally try Bacanora! It was worth the wait. I loved the family-style menu so our table could try a variety of menu items. We ordered way too much food, but we loved it all! The cocktails were perfection! Can't wait to go again!

I've been waiting a long time to finally get a reservation here, and it was worth the wait! The decor in front of the restaurant was spectacular! It's very quaint inside, love the openness of the dining area, bar and kitchen. Staff very friendly and helpful, food was outstanding. A true gem in the downtown Phoenix area.

First time for our group of four and it did not disappoint. The reviews are spot on. Interesting location and venue (very small) but the service (Cara) and food were outstanding. We shared two appetizers specifically the corn on the cob and the shrimp ceviche and both were absolutely delicious. We shared the chicken and New York strip steak entrées and believe me it was plenty of food. You get several sides and the flavors are absolutely amazing Chicken and steak were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this restaurant especially if you’re a foodie. Outstanding cocktails too! We will definitely be back!

This place keeps me coming back! I order extra food to take home every time. Get yourself the steak burrito even if it’s off menu. You won’t regret it!
