Cocina Chiwas

Phoenix, AZ

Welcome to Cocina Chiwas, our love letter to Chihuahua, the northern Mexican state where we both grew up before our families brought us to Arizona as kids. We are Armando Hernandez and Nadia Holguin, and our story started with a single conversation at an ASU party, when we discovered we shared the same roots and the same dream of opening a restaurant one day. In 2016 we chased that dream with fifty dollars in our checking account and a little taco shop called Tacos Chiwas. People believed in us, Phoenix embraced us, and that first counter grew into a family of restaurants across the Valley. Cocina Chiwas is the fullest expression of where we come from. We opened these doors as the culinary anchor of Culdesac, a walkable neighborhood in Tempe, to serve regional Chihuahuan cooking the way we remember it: familiar yet unexpected, traditional yet modern, with a little bit of Arizona woven in. Our kitchen leans on wood fire, house-made masa, and the flavors of the Sierra and the high desert, from tender braises to salsas built layer by layer. Chihuahua is cattle country, chile country, and comfort-food country, and you will taste all of that on the plate. As a chef couple, we have poured our heritage and our marriage into this place, and it means the world to us that our work has been recognized, from James Beard consideration to being named one of USA Today's best new restaurants of 2024. But the honors we care about most are the regulars who become friends and the first-timers who leave planning their next visit. Our dining room is warm, unpretentious, and made for lingering, whether you are here for a weeknight dinner, a celebration, or happy hour with people you love. We built Cocina Chiwas to be a place where everyone feels at home, and we are proud to be a woman co-owned kitchen led by Nadia alongside Armando. Come hungry, come curious, and let us share the food, the culture, and the hospitality of Chihuahua with you. From our family to your table, gracias for pulling up a chair.

Phoenix Coquí

Phoenix, AZ

Bienvenidos to Phoenix Coqui, where every plate carries a piece of Puerto Rico. We are a proud family-owned kitchen, started by Alexis and Juan, who grew up in Toa Alta and carried their island recipes all the way to the Arizona desert. What began in a home kitchen back in 2013 grew into a food truck in 2017, and in February 2022 we finally planted roots with our own brick-and-mortar home on North 15th Avenue. Every step of that journey has been about one thing: sharing real Puerto Rican food with warm service that feels like family. When you walk through our doors, we want you to taste the island the way we do. Our mofongo is the heart of the menu, that unmistakable garlicky mash of green plantains, piled high and served your way, from shrimp to our slow-roasted pernil. We fry our empanadillas until they are golden, layer our pastelon into a sweet-and-savory comfort you will not forget, and simmer our pollo a la criolla in the kind of sofrito that only comes from generations of practice. For a sweet finish, our quesitos bring that flaky, creamy bite that reminds so many of our guests of home. Everything we serve comes from family recipes, made from scratch with the same care our abuelas taught us. We did not learn this cooking from a book. We learned it in real kitchens, surrounded by loud music, good company, and the smell of adobo in the air. That spirit is what we try to bottle up and pour into every order, whether you are dining in, grabbing takeout on your lunch break, or letting us cater your next celebration. We are more than a restaurant. We are a little corner of Puerto Rico in the middle of Phoenix, and being recognized by Phoenix Magazine as a favorite Puerto Rican spot only makes us want to cook harder for you. Stop by, say wepa, and let us feed you like one of our own. Whether it is your first taste of the island or a bite that brings you back to childhood, we cannot wait to welcome you to the table. Parking is in the rear, and a warm plate is always waiting.
