Tacos from Taco Guild

Neighborhood spots serve up memorable meals on ‘Check, Please! Arizona’

Thursday, February 12 at 7 p.m.

Neighborhood spots serve up memorable meals in this week’s episode of “Check, Please! Arizona.” From tacos to barbecue to brunch, these Arizona restaurants won’t leave you hungry.

Tucked inside a Chandler strip mall is Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse where you’ll find Southern-style BBQ. Another Arizona restaurant inside a historic church in central Phoenix has been transformed into Taco Guild where guests enjoy modern Mexican dishes. And in the heart of charming Cave Creek, Brunch Kitchen and Cocktails is the spot for brunch items alongside sandwiches, burgers and salads.

Whether you are a beginner or seasoned chef, Arizona PBS has you covered. Find fun recipes for kids or parties, watch the latest PBS cooking shows, learn about locally owned Arizona restaurants and more.
