About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails

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!

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 and service were amazing, however, the music was too loud and it was hard to even have a conversation.

Was only able to get a 9:30pm reservation almost a month out and it was truly worth it! The food is phenomenal, service is so attentive, and the ambiance is so cool and different. The portions are so generous & worth the price.

Service was excellent and the dining area was clean,…was a bit small,but that really doesn’t impact the dining experience. The food was very good. The issue as we all saw it was ,value vs cost was crazy out of kilter. 76 dollars for a half chicken,….too much!

Outstanding food and service. Some dishes made for sharing, but they're clearly practiced in packing things up to take home what isn't eaten.

The Shrimp Aguachile was so good! I'd order that every time. Everything that we ordered had great flavor. My one critique would be that the short ribs were a little tough and chewy. The service staff was very attentive and well informed about the menu. They asked about, and were able to work around dietary restrictions.
