Bacanora PHX Phoenix Reviews from The Last Year
Great ambience and great service.
Food is ok but for the price point and hype... it feels overpriced and overated. We ordered guac and chips, ceviche, a charred pumpking and ribs. The best was the charred pumpkin. ribs lacked flavor. The bar is good. Overall, we were a bit dissapointed considering all the hype surrounding the place.
Imagine if a restaurant didn't open up reservations for a
Imagine if a restaurant didn't open up reservations for a month until the first day of that month. That would make no sense. Fortunately this is not how Bacanora does it. They open up reservations for the following month on the first of each month. And once one understands this calculus, they will be able to enjoy the experience it is to eat at Bacanora. It's hard to resist ordering the 40 Oz ribeye. So hard in fact that Jimi could not resist. Bacanora has the revolutionary idea to provide not only tortillas but also ready made quesadillas for you to put your steak into. Not since sliced bread or pickled herring has there been such a simple but transformative idea. When Jimi returns (since he understands how to make a rezzy ergo knows calculus), he plans to explore another portion of the menu, perhaps the pollo asado. 5 stars

The food was delicious, we shared 3 different items and every bite was phenomenal. The service was on point and the food came out quickly.
Bacanora is an absolute gem! I don't have anything bad to
Bacanora is an absolute gem! I don't have anything bad to say about my experience here. It's amazing how carefully crafted all the dishes were and how they honored the flavors of each and every ingredient. We had the mushroom tacos - they were lovely, the Caramelo which is a tostada with beans and carne asada - it was to die for, as was the bone marrow, one of my favorite things of all time. We also got a couple specials, one was some cut short ribs and the other was octopus. Both were utterly amazing! I took some of the short ribs home because we ordered wayyy too much food, and they were even better later. The accompaniments with both dishes were so perfect and refreshing. The food was ultimately such a celebration of smoke and fire and how it transforms each dish. Just delicious and so thoughtful. The drinks were great as well - the Oaxaca Old Fashioned was my favorite. I wish we had room for desert but we sadly did not, definitely will be back to try it next time. Book a reservation if you want to ensure you'll get a table! It's a small space. You can also order the full menu at the bar, I believe, so if you're lucky you might stop in and snag some barstools without booking in advance.
Amazing meal! Service was excellent too.
We had a feast. Ribeye was perfect, tortillas were amazing and the cocktails great too.
Save your time and money.
It's one of those let's not and say we did circumstances. Their website has menu items that are NOT being served, the chicken was dry, they gave 3 shrimp for 36$, overpriced drinks, and the bean dip was too spicy for most people at our table. Don't get me started on the tables, be prepared to drop a plate on your lap due to lack of room. The majority of my dining experience was spent trying to figure out how this restaurant made it this far.
I was excited to finally get a reservation.
Brought my parents to celebrate my father's birthday. Lots of hype for this place so I decided to take a chance. I typically wouldn't invite other people unless I'm familiar with a place. Pros: The food was edible and the service team was polite and professional. Everything was clean. The short ribs and beans were very tasty. We were seated on time. Cons: Well, unfortunately the best part of my meal was my mom's drink. Portions are too small for the price. The plates DO NOT fit well on the table. My father ended up dropping his and ruined his pants. Very frustrating. I wouldn't normally mention the table but all four of us were having a hard time. The shrimp was disappointing. Weird consistency, flavor was off and very small portion. I wish we would've ordered another round of the short ribs instead but you live and you learn. The short ribs were the only thing that saved the dinner. The chicken was dry as well and just simply not worth the price point. The menu online is literally NOT available at the restaurant. At all. That was very misleading. When I inquired about it I was told "That menu is not what we have". They handed me a paper menu with different items and VERY different price points. That was a red flag. Looking back, I should've left at that moment but I wasn't alone so we went along with it. All in all, I unfortunately would not return. The service was good and the drinks were very tasty but it's not a place for cocktails. It did not live up to the hype surrounding it. We ordered 4 entrees and an appetizer and we weren't full when we left.
If the service was better and wait times were less than it
If the service was better and wait times were less than it would deserve 4 stars for the overall experience. Food was not good enough to have such poor service and long wait times.
Bacanora, nestled near the RoRo neighborhood at Roosevelt
Bacanora, nestled near the RoRo neighborhood at Roosevelt and Grand Ave in Phoenix, has earned its place among culinary elites with a nomination for Best New Restaurant by the prestigious James Beard Foundation - a testament to its exceptional offerings. Our journey commenced with two expertly crafted drinks, the traditional Paloma and the innovative Tepache, both exemplifying a perfect balance of ingredients. As we ventured into the menu, it became evident that Bacanora's magic lies in transforming seemingly ordinary dishes into culinary masterpieces. The charred cabbage with chiltepin vinaigrette and queso cremoso, the refreshing Cucumber Salad with tomato, radish, salsa macha, and tomatillo vinaigrette, and the Steak Aquachile, a blend of charred hanger steak, smoked pepino, seabean salsa, and roasted mushrooms, all revealed layers of flavors that lingered in our memory. Bacanora offers a culinary journey like no other, bursting with rich, memorable flavors, and while reservations are a prized commodity, even landing on the waiting list is well worth the effort for a chance to savor this exceptional dining experience in Phoenix.

I hate leaving a bad reviews but if the Manager of the establishment sees this than it was worth it. Let's start finding parking is a bit hard and scary, since it's in a pretty sketch neighborhood that you do worry about your car parked on the street. Now as for the restaurant, it's a small corner with tight seating inside it's very tight and you will hear everyone else's conversations. Now this is the part for the Manager. The restaurant needs to upgrade the ac unit on the roof. Someone with breathing problems will have to get medical help. I mention to one of the waitresses if they can crank the ac and what I got in return is attitude, she says "we are all hot, the ac is at full potential and we have a fan on and it's a old building so sorry we can't do anything " that's not a reply to a customer with health concerns. Is the owner of the building does not want to put a bigger AC unit I would say at least a 10 ton unit, then the owner of the restaurant should buy one, I mean it's a write-off regardless but more important you don't have to worry about someone suing the restaurant if something happens. Food had great presentation every dish looked great. Unfortunately all the dishes where over salted to the point I did not finish any of them, I do feel maybe just a bad day and chefs measurementswhere of so I think they probably have great food. But the waitress gives tap water but with no ice at room temp dehydration from the salty food no ac in a 100 degrees restaurant and to top it of room temperature water, someone is going to pass out in there. I must say drinks are good tried 2 different ones and enjoyed them both. Overall I am not the biggest fan but maybe one day I might be willing to give them a chance, it would have to be in winter because in the summer you are asking for a heat stroke.
Bacanora is the hot ticket in Phoenix now, getting a James
Bacanora is the hot ticket in Phoenix now, getting a James Beard nomination and write-ups in all the big publications. Since we couldn't score a reservation we decided to try coming on a Saturday morning at ten a.m. The good news is we walked right in. The sad news for me is that the two dishes I had my heart set on trying (pollo asado and caramelo) were not available at this time. You will see brunch-type items that aren't on the website (like waffles) so I gave one of these a try. My Baca Waffle No. 1 was delicious. It had roasted pineapple and a luxardo cherry sauce with a bit of powdered sugar. I should have asked what leche quemada nieve was, as having a scoop of ice cream on my waffle in the morning is really too decadent for me. More of a dessert thing. The restaurant has such a great energy. Everyone who works here is friendly and welcoming. I love how they've decorated the trees out front with yarn and random items. My waffle was overpriced but executed well. I'd like to come back and try the Mexican food I'd hoped to sample - if I can possibly luck into a nighttime reservation.
Yum, yum, yum.
Really fun place with delicious and inventive and perfectly executed food. Great, friendly and helpful staff. The pollo asado was the best and the sides perhaps stole the show with the rajas as a standout. Only thing that was just ok was the ellote. Everything else was sublime.
Well friends, the hype is REAL.
It may take you a real long time to get a lucky reservation, but when you do, get excited because your tastebuds will be dancing. The restaurant itself has about 6 tables and a few seats at the bar, hence the tough-to-get res because it is so small, and well, very tasty. You only have 90 mins to dine here, so they take your order pretty quickly. We started with cocktails and they were phenomenal, and the shrimp ceviche. Their main margarita is made with Mezcal but I swapped for regular tequila and it was fresh and delicious. The shrimp ceviche was to die for - I wanted to drink the sauce! Next, we got the warm cabbage salad. YUM! It definitely had a spicy kick but again, the flavors were out of this world. For entrees, we split the carne asada tostada and the pollo platter (a MUSTTTT). The platter was absolutely incredible. It came with moist/flavorful chicken, warm tortillas, beans, quesadillas, potatoes, peppers, onions, green chilis in broth - wow, wow. I am salivating just typing this! We definitely had leftovers and made burritos at home a few days later. We will absolutely be back if we can get a lucky res again! Thank you for the awesome experience.
This place was an experience, that's for sure.
We were lucky enough to snag an 8pm, Friday reservation and it did not disappoint. The charred cabbage was fantastic. The elote was pretty small for the price. Service was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. 4 stars because someone puked all over the single stall bathroom, so that stunk. Literally.

For our party, there was too restrictive of a menu for our large group. In addition, we all felt that our servers were unknowledgeable and unhelpful, especially in helping us figure out how much food was appropriate for our party. Ask for the large party menu in advanced.
It was really good! The small atmosphere made it feel more
It was really good! The small atmosphere made it feel more intimate. The corn was good but it was a very small cob and I like when they offer to cut it off for you (which they did not). The carne asada burrito was incredible and the green salsa packed so much flavor. The bowl with the lamb birria and octopus was very tasty and interesting. The margaritas were also really special! You can always go in a snag a seat at the bar if you can't get a reservation.
Absolutely incredible experience! It was our first time
Absolutely incredible experience! It was our first time there, on Valentine's Day. Complimentary champagne was provided upon being sat. The service was impeccable. The food was excellent, fresh, quality ingredients prepared thoughtfully. The new Hongos dish blew me away. Smokey, perfectly tender oyster mushrooms, unbelievable flavor, salsas had a kick, but weren't overwhelmingly spicy. The entire meal was wonderful, we also had the ceviche, caramelo, and the short ribs. Highly recommend Bacanora, and would come back regularly for the hongos. Thank you team!
This review is focused for vegans/vegetarians After
This review is focused for vegans/vegetarians After waiting months and months we finally made it to this place! Honestly, we'd hyped it up in our minds, we were hoping to some of the best food in Phoenix. We were...disappointed. Service and Ambiance - 5/5. Everyone was absolutely fantastic the minute we walked in. Super nice, very informative, and willing to cater to our dietary needs. The actual food, though? Boring and truly not worth the wait. The charred cabbage was the saving grace of the entire night. But the Burrito and the Caramello just...weren't good. The problem was simply - they used potato as the main ingredient in both dishes - and failed on execution. The edges of the potatoes were reasonably seasoned, but they basically put these big slabs of potato in, so we were basically eating an unflavored baked potato surrounded by vegetables and tortilla. I personally eat cheese, but even the cheese and sauces couldn't hide how bland both dishes were. I guess I can understand not using any vegan protein, but then you actually have to harmonize the flavors, and both dishes failed to do this on any level. Simple fix? Use smaller pieces and actually spice everything - OR mash and make a patty to blend the spices in. Tl;dr: their vegetarian/vegan food is bland and was a bad experience - but honestly very fixable with simple changes. The people were really nice though! I'd come back if they made edits.
Great Sat morning breakfast
My wife and I are from out of state and my sister and brother in law booked breakfast reservations for the 4 of us. Great service and amazing meals. We all got something different and did shared plates. Favorite meals the trip!!
Look, anybody that considers themselves a foodie.
..has at one time or another...wondered if their opinion was influenced by another review. It's human nature. No matter how unbiased and candid I consider myself, when a place makes the top 50 NYT restaurant list...it's hard not to take notice. That said, I tend to be a little contrarian. It keeps me grounded. It makes me question things. And I was skeptical another wood fired, taco and steak place was going to move the needle. I've done the Tomahawk Steak thing. I've seen a wood fired grill. Are we sure this place isn't over hyped? Narrator: this place is NOT overhyped. Yes I've seen things very similar to what we ordered here. Nothing you order here is going to be revolutionary. The pic I'm posting below looks like a LOT of other steaks. But listen man, the NYT knows what it's doing. Every bite was rich and interesting and sublime. Yes the steak is cooked perfectly, it should be. But the salsas/beans/tortilla and peppers elevate everything on the plate. They all come together like a symphony to transcend you to some place you can't quite place. I ate too much, but who wouldn't? I started looking for things to nitpick. I couldn't really find any. Yes it's small and crowded...no you can't make a three hour meal out of it...they are going to move you along quickly...other people read reviews too and want in. I hate waiting too, but this place is worth it. Set an alarm and make a reservation 60 days out. Or show up and be prepared to wait for a bar seat. Either way, be ready. Be ready to get your dumb, contrarian face punched in.
Such a cool experience.
Been wanting to try Bacanora for a long time and it didn't disappoint. Make sure to get the elote. And also be ready for a little spice in a lot the dishes. The burrito and Tierra y mar were a little spicier than expected but super flavorful! Service was great and such a cool vibe inside being able to watch them cook.
Cozy, Hip and Delicious
We were lucky enough to get a last minute reservation- we visited in person the day before- and we weren’t disappointed! The food was delicious- each dish was flavorful and different. We ordered cucumber salad and a charred cabbage side dishes. These were my favorites! The ceviche was limey and outstanding. We also had the hanger steak and the roasted chicken - both were accompanied with saucy beans and herb sauces. Yum! The roasted oyster mushrooms weee lovely. Even though we were full we ordered two desserts - ice cream and their flan! The flan was unlike any I’ve had and was perfect. They had a pretty large drink menu but we all had Palomas! The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The only disappointment was the narrow window we had the table for - 1.5 hours - only because we were two couples catching up but for a couple alone that would be fine!
Birthday Dinner
We were excited to have scored a reservation for dinner last week. When we we arrived for our 5:00 reservation, there wasn't a line and one table and a handful of bar seating was open for the first hour. I know every evening is different, but if you don't have a reservation, showing up a little before 5:00 could be a good startegy. Waitstaff was friendly and our server did a nice job of explaing the dishes. Cocktails arrived promptly. We shared the bone marrow...enjoyable, aguachile...very tasty and fish was very fresh, and the elote for starters. Our shared larger dishes were the pollo asado....delicious and chicken was very tender, and ribeye...meat was tough but the accompaniments were tasty. We were up against our 90 minute time allotment and checked out rather quickly. It wasn’t until we got home later in the evening when I looked at the receipt. I was quite stunned by the $200 cost of the ribeye we shared. The flavor was good, but the meat was tough and $200 is quite a bit higher than we’ve ever been charged at high end steak restaurants. We were at fault for not asking the market price. I might suggest for that kind of a ticket item that the server should probably mention the cost. We certainly wouldn’t have ordered it knowing this. As well, for that price it really should have wowed us. Sadly it didn't. I would have given Bacanora 4 stars, except for 2 things. The server came by to see if we wanted dessert and we asked for a few minutes. She said we only had 9 minutes left on our reservation. There would have been no time for dessert even if we knew what we wanted when she'd asked. The server should check in earlier in the time allotment about dessert to help manage the time. I also called the restaurant when we got home from dinner to talk about the ribeye cost and left a message requesting a call back. I followed up with an email the next day. I never heard back from anyone.
Always an amazing meal - have the steak
My wife and I came in for a date night while in Phoenix. We were able to get a reservation just before closing (but I understand you can now get reservations on Resy where you used to have to show up right at 5 pm at opening or face waiting several hours). They have slightly reconfigured the inside, which eliminated a few seats, but they were three rail seats that had you facing out the window. This place is very small, so be prepared to be near other people and you will be fine. The best items in this place are the long bone-in ribeye and any seafood specials they may have. While the steak is expensive, it is a meal that easily feeds two with leftovers and can feed up to four if you have some additional sides and appetizers. It comes out carved off the bone and sliced with salsas, tortillas, quesadillas, roasted and stewed vegetables, and the best bowl of pinto beans you have ever had. Seriously, I would just show up for a bowl of beans here if I could. We also shared a couple of cocktails and the flan, which is amazing. There is a hint of pepper heat in it and it is some of the best textured and tasting flan I have had anywhere. I look forward to coming back whenever I can make it to town.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
