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!

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 is delicious but pretty pricey. The service is impeccable, the server gave excellent recommendations and was so attentive. It’s a little loud in the restaurant but it’s so small that you should be able to hear your table mates.

What a treat. So glad we finally made it. The shared pollo dish was insane. Elote app and cocktails equally delish. Can’t wait to score our next reservation!

After reading reviews and hearing positive things, we decided to check out Bacanora. It did not disappoint! It’s a fun eclectic vibe with food that matches the ambience. Loaded with flavor, everything we tried we thoroughly enjoyed. The server was helpful and friendly and took good care us. We will be back!
