THE MEXICANO’S PIÑA GUACAMOLE
A New Dining Masterpiece
From the geniuses behind the popular local restaurants Hash Kitchen, The Sicilian Butcher, and The Sicilian Baker comes The Mexicano. This newest restaurant concept is spearheaded by celebrity chef Joey Maggiore, and his wife, Cristina, and is inspired by the flavors, colorful art, music, and culture of Mexico. The buzzy, nouveau Mexican eatery features a Mexico City-inspired design, chef-driven menu, experiential food and cocktail carts, DJs playing Latin music—and the country’s first-ever, build-your-own Michelada bar (toppings include oysters, shrimp cocktail, pickled jicama, dry chorizo, and tamarindo sticks—to name just a few!). Menu items range from the Smoking Grouper Ceviche presented in a coconut shell, to 36-inch quesadillas, to charcoal-grilled prime meats and seafood. Ready for a drink? Pair your meal with a piñata margarita or frozen margarita flights, or wait for the donkey cart with a tequila ice luge and shot glasses. 4801 E. Cactus Road, Phoenix; www.themexicanocomida.com
