Re Cap on Arizona's Restaurant Week

Hi everyone!

Hope you guys enjoyed ARW as much as we did, even though our plan didn't go as scheduled (we missed the Henry) we certainly had lots of fun and food during Arizona's fall restaurant week.

We have to say that we really enjoyed our experience at the Phoenician, we did a little family staycation to wrap up our summer. The hotel amenities are great, personnel is very friendly and attentive and they have an awesome pool, specially for kids, one of the reasons why we chose to stay there.

Back to eating, we dinned at J&G steakhouse, the menu for ARW was very eclectic which we really appreciate, lots of options for everyone.

Review Criollo Latin Restaurant in Flagstaff

Hello my friends,

We recently made a quick trip to Flagstaff to visit the polar express, which is a family tradition we are keeping and we enjoyed a few great meals while there.

Our first stop was Criollo, a latin inspired restaurant with a great selection of not only Mexican food, but Cuban, Peruvian and Venezuelan. My very favorite were the plantains with alioli and guacamole.

Over all the experience is great, specially to find a place with different cuisine influences is a big plus because you can taste a little of everything. One of my favorite Argentinian wines is the torrontes, which is so darn hard to find, so of course I had a glass of it.

I got the pork belly tacos and they were amazing, the meat was so tender and flavorful, rice and beans were delicious too.

And if you have been reading my blog for a while you know that I always have dessert so the churros con Chocolate were the perfect ending to this latin cuisine experience
