Dahlia Tapas Tequila & Wine: Love is in the air

With a variety of dishes made with love, Dahlia Tapas Tequila & Wine is the perfect spot for guests to dine.

Audrey Corley, owner of the restaurant, said she would describe Dahlia Tapas Tequila & Wine as a love story. The restaurant, she said, brings the community together to share a good time in an intimate space.

Corley said she wanted to add a twist to tapas, which are typically small plates, and offer bigger plates for guests to share.

To go along with their many dishes, the wines, she said, come straight from Spain and Mexico with the cocktails having a tequila or mezcal base.

For guests trying Dahlia Tapas Tequila & Wine for the first time, Corley said to leave it up to the team to take them on a flavorful journey. She said there is something for everyone and the menu accommodates guests with dietary restrictions.

The energy throughout the restaurant, she said, is filled with love. Corley said she wants guests to feel the care and time put into not only the menu but the atmosphere.

Out of all the places guests could dine in Phoenix, Corley said she wants to ensure guests feel that Dahlia Tapas Tequila & Wine is a place that cares about the community.

“You don’t have to worry about anything. We got you here at Dahlia,” Corley said. “I always say we’re going to leave you better than we found you.”

Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said the restaurant is a special place sitting right in the beautiful and historic neighborhood of Coronado.

To start off her visit, Gallego enjoyed the roasted vegetables, which was packed with incredible flavor. The dish is seasonal, she said, so guests don’t always get the same thing twice.

For her entree, she had the tostadas. Gallego said it came with three different tostadas, with each having their own unique taste, and was beautifully presented.

Gallego also enjoyed the raspberry mocktail to go along with her meal. She said she appreciated the level of thought the restaurant put in to the mocktails on the menu.

Gallego’s pro tip: Listen to the staff because they are experts on the menu and offer great advice.
