  52. The owners of this seafood counter in Uptown Plaza catch their own swordfish and deep-sea buoy fish off California waters aboard their harpoon boat, then sell it never-frozen by the pound or in composed dishes. Poke bowls, confit tuna sandwiches, and swordfish tacos anchor the menu, with grilled oysters and Mexican wild shrimp filling out a rotation that takes sustainability seriously without sacrificing flavor.

    New Mexican New American

    A neighborhood New Mexican spot on 16th Street so unmarked you'll need to know where you're going, but once you're squeezed into the tiny dining room you'll understand why Friday nights require divine intervention—excellent red and green chile plates, a serious bar program, and that open-flame grill's heat reaching your barstool. The Taos tenderloin and green chile burger are the kind of food that makes a small, crowded room feel exactly right.

  63. A Phoenix institution since 1977, Rito's is a casual counter spot where the green chile burro draws lines out the door, and you can get virtually anything deep-fried chimichanga-style and smothered in red sauce and cheese. The Salinas family also does a mean guacamole taco and refried pinto beans, making this a go-to for no-frills, craveable Mexican food.

A white-tablecloth Southwestern restaurant in a tucked-away Paradise Valley inn, Lon's commands views of ruddy mountains from its broad patio and a stellar bar, with seasonal menus that might bring parsnip ravioli with elk shank ragout or buttered prawns in red curry coconut milk. The weekend brunch is the move—huevos rancheros and a yeasty monkey bread loaded with cream, caramel and chocolate that could be a meal on its own.

Chef Yusuke Kuroda, who runs the popular Origami Ramen Bar, tucked this intimate six-seat sushi counter into a north Phoenix shopping center between a frozen custard shop and a hearing aid store, where he serves a precise 12-to-14-piece nigiri tasting menu for $85. The fish—buttery tuna, citrus-bright roe, sweet shrimp, marbled Wagyu—reflects a steady hand, and while reservations are essential for the bar experience, walk-ins can grab rolls at the few surrounding tables or take an omakase to go.
