- FFrankNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI got excellent service from my waiter, Ever, and my bartender, Hannah. I didn’t expect such great service. I rewarded them monetarily, but I think they might need some verbal recognition from management, too. Hannah made me a great Lemon Drop martini, and Ever was ever so accommodating to any request I made. I also received a great greeting from Bella, too, receptionist / server.More infoPOMO Pizzeria Napoletana - Downtown PhoenixPrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Downtown Phoenix•4.7

- MMichaelPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was amazing, with more of a Mexican comfort food offering compared to their highly acclaimed sister restaurant, Bacanora. Flavorful, unique, and pleasing to the eye. The signature drinks were strong, complex and satisfying. Be warned, if an entree has a higher price, it’s for good reason. We made the mistake of ordering carne asada fries, 8 tacos and a few starters/sides and ended up going home with 3 boxes of food for the four of us to indulge in the next day. The jicama salad was a highlight of the meal while serving as a great palate cleanser with its refreshing yet spicy flavors. This restaurant has become a top contender on our list of local spots around Phoenix for special occasions and showing visitors what our amazing city has to offer for gastro culture. Do yourself a favor and get in here ASAP!More infoHuarachis TaqueriaPrice: Expensive• Mexican• West Phoenix•4.9
