Centrico

Had a great lunch today in downtown PHX. Absolutely delicious. My good friend told to ask if Carnitas would be available ( not always on the menu) My lucky day!! They were available and fantastic. If you’re downtown for a game, concert or just any event it’s worth going to. I’ve eaten at a Bunch restaurants around the arena and they’re all very nice but this is the only one that I’ve written review about-it was that good.

The food was absolutely spectacular from start to finish. I ordered the birria enchiladas with beans and rice, and I was genuinely surprised—in the best way possible—when the sides arrived. This wasn’t the typical Spanish rice and refried beans you find at many Mexican restaurants across the country. Instead, it felt much closer to a Southern-style rice and beans, with the rice carrying a rich, savory garlic flavor that immediately stood out. It added a depth to the meal that I wasn’t expecting and really set the dish apart. The birria enchiladas themselves were a standout. I’ve always been a big fan of birria tacos, but I had never seen them prepared as enchiladas before, and this version completely won me over. The tortillas were perfectly tender, generously filled, and clearly made with

Visiting Centrico was a suggestion from someone at the Hilton hotel across the street. He said that his favorite dish was the Asada burrito. I went over for dinner and sat out on the patio. If you’re into people watching, it’s absolutely the place to do it. Every walk of life passes the table. I ordered chips and salsa, which were absolutely fantastic. I know it’s odd to say that the chips were awesome but the tortillas that they were made from were incredibly thin and they had them salted perfectly. This also was delicious also. Had a hard time deciding what to have, everything looked terrific. I almost picked the fish tacos, but at the last moment decided to go with the Kearny Asada. It wasn’t disappointed. They were incredibly tender and very flavorful. For delicious little tacos wit

Saved the day. Last minute group of 8 was taken in with very little wait. The food was delicious and the beer was cold. Server was 100% on it. They even offered extra spicy oil for pozole. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food. All of the taco plates come with 4 very street tacos with generous amount of filling. Highly recommend the churros! They are filled with caramel.

My friend and I were in Phoenix for cabi Fashion Week from 1/14-18, and over four days we ate at Centrico four times! We sampled the empanadas and flautas day one, and each had a Golden Margarita. Suffice it to say that the margaritas were so good, we had them on each subsequent visit! The empanadas were spicy in a pleasant way, due to the flavors of the seasonings. I really wanted to try the pozole, so that led to our return. Hands down the best either one of us had ever tasted! Everything the staff recommended was worthwhile - guacamole, chilaquiles with over medium eggs for brunch, and the frozen watermelon and frozen hibiscus margaritas. The other secret to this gem of a restaurant is their staff. We were made welcome each time, by Maria, Joe and Brit. Your warmth and kindness shines t
