Made reservations at the beginning of the year for Carlitos’ birthday dinner and was worried it would not live up to the hype or expectations.Well they were exceeded! The service, drinks, food and family style servings were all that and more! ✨ everything was absolutely delicious, but my absolute favorite were the Hongos Al Pastor 🤤 pictures are terrible 🫣 but sharing anyway for the experience 🥰
After a lot of waiting, I had the opportunity to try Bacanora last week.If you’re wanting to make a reservation yourself, they open up the first of the month at 9am for the following month.Reservations go quick and are booked up within minutes so be quick and flexible on times! The ceviche is a delicious and unique starter that is made with Hiramisa, a type of yellowtail fish that is very tender and not overly fishy. The sauce was to die for and I could have eaten it over and over again.The Caramelo was both of our favorite and had a tender, delicious carne asada with fresh toppings on it. I also liked the marinade on the Costilla Asado (Short ribs), and thought the meat held the juicy flavor really well.The staff were helpful and kind and made this experience very easy and enjoyable.
Upscale sonoran food in a casual environment.Bacanora is getting a lot of attention and it lived up to the hype.The lime halibut ceviche was bright, fresh and the right amount of spicy.Normally cucumber salad wouldn’t be my choice but wow the sauce was incredible.We also had the scallops, a fantastic elote and the Caramelo which has great carne asada and beans on a tostada.All elevated flavors.And as my wife said, those beans were not an afterthought.Meaty, smoky beans. Most of the magic comes from the one wood fired grill in the back corner of this cozy place. The cocktails were excellent too.Service was friendly and knowledgeable.Thanks Ceara! Our meal with 4 cocktails was about $100 a piece. Pricey but excellent.
