The Spot
Bacanora is a Sonoran cuisine restaurant in Downtown Phoenix built around a wood-fired grill, with chef Rene Andrade running the kitchen out of a casual, intimate dining space.

The dinner menu runs through appetizers like Bone Marrow and Embered Elote into mains such as Pollo Asado, Short Rib Asado, Bone-In NY Strip, and the Forty Ounce Bone-In Ribeye. Cocktails include the Bacanorita and the Cantarito.

Andrade won the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef: Southwest award in 2024, after three semifinalist nods in 2023 and a finalist nod for Best New Restaurant in 2022. Bacanora was selected in the 2026 Michelin Guide and named to Phoenix New Times' 2025 best-of list.
