Tacos

ancho de Tia Rosa has variety of taco options that will please every member of your party.

You can’t go wrong with the cantina tacos on the appetizer menu. You get three small soft tacos with your choice of beef, pork or chicken. Seafood lovers go for the Baja-style tacos with shrimp, crab, salmon or fish.

Meat and seafood tacos also can be ordered as entrees, where there’s a grilled steak option as well. The restaurant is tuned into the low-carb lifestyle, too, offering lettuce wraps on some taco combinations.

ordell Sherwood is not your typical cashier/server. Customers of the sandwich shop are so charmed by the young man’s personality, superior service, efficiency and goofy bow-ties that it was inevitable he would become front-of-the-house manager.

Not bad for an autistic kid, who suffered from debilitating social anxiety just a few years ago in high school. “I was an absolute wreck,” he said. “I could not look at people at all.”

No longer. “I can put myself out there now, to where I am somebody that deserves something in life.” It’s a story that fortunately repeats time and again with Cordell’s co-workers, most of whom have autism and developmental disabilities.

t Rancho de Tia Rosa, the flying saucers soar and the margaritas flow for patrons on the hunt for the best Mexican food in Gilbert.

The signature flying saucer, as loyal patrons know, is a crisp 8-inch flour tortilla stacked with beef, pork or chicken, plus beans, lettuce, salsa fresca, guacamole, sour cream and cheese. The Tia Rosa burro and neuvo chili relleno are also favorites. Meat and potato fans go for the papas con carne.

Sharers and nibblers have a variety of appetizers to choose from, including the mini chimi sampler, two tamale sampler, nachos, taquitos and shrimp cocktail.

Seafood

f you’re from the Northeast, or you’re someone else who just feels an insatiable need to consume oysters, mussels, clams, shrimp and lobster mac and cheese, High Tide is where you go.

The best way to experience High Tide is to cozy up to the big Terrazzo bar and order oysters on the half shell (and/or the aforementioned lobster mac and cheese), then watch the chefs create your cioppino, gumbo or other masterpiece right in front you in jacketed steam kettles.

Another way to test the waters is at happy hour, from 3 to 6:30 p.m. every day, Wine Wednesday or the weekend Bloody Mary bar. Dedicated meat lovers won’t feel left out, either. High Tide makes some mean wings, fried chicken and other creations that feature the best of Queen Creek’s The Pork Shop.

oe’s Real Barbecue has been keeping it real since 1998, serving up the best pecan woodsmoked brisket, ribs, chicken and spicy hot links you’ll find anywhere.

At a lot of barbecue joints, the meats are the stars and the sides seem like an afterthought. Not here. Families adore the homemade applesauce, coleslaw, pit beans and gigantic baked potatoes.

Kids and parents also love the delicious homemade root beer and enjoying their meals out back in the picnic park. The interior of the downtown 1929 brick building, a Safeway back in the day, pays homage to Gilbert’s agricultural roots with a larger-than-life mural and a restored vintage John Deere tractor.

lue Wasabi is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Sushi chefs and mixologists work alongside each other to create edible and drinkable works of art. The decor dazzles with its minimalist design, bold colors and light wall.

Launched in 2004, Blue Wasabi also endears with its whimsical roll names. There’s the demure Marilyn Monroll, the macho Chuck Norris and the flamboyant Badda Bing, for examples. If a guest in your party isn’t into seafood, signature small plates include baby back ribs, filet medallions and mini burgers.

If love is in the air, order the Berry White, a smooth martini made with blueberry vodka and white cranberry juice.

f you’re the sort who avoids chain restaurants just because they’re chain restaurants, you’re cheating yourself when it comes to the Keg Steakhouse + Bar. The Keg combines a classy but comfortable atmosphere, impeccably cooked steaks and prime rib and consistently outstanding service for a winning recipe.

Start with a classic Caesar or iceberg wedge salad, then tuck into your favorite cut. The Keg is also a surf-and-turfer’s paradise, offering a sirloin Oscar with shrimp and scallops and a filet with Cajun shrimp. There also are the traditional steak and crab and steak and lobster combos.

here’s not a bad seat in the house when you watch the games at either of Blue 32’s Gilbert locations. You’ll find about 30 or more strategically positioned screens around the sports bars, some up to 65 inches.

On Sundays in the fall, the bars open an hour before kickoff and roll out a special breakfast menu. Fans fuel their tableside tailgates with icy buckets of domestic and premium beer bottles. The craft pints, Bloody Marys and mimosas flow as well.

Baseball, golf, soccer, tennis and other sports fans feel just at home here, too. Ask a friendly bartender or server if they can tune in a specific event you’re interested in.

ports fans and families who like variety and options when it comes to their wings love Buffalo Wild Wings.

After deciding on bone-in or boneless, you can choose among five dry-rub seasoning blends and no fewer than 16 sauces, ranging from mild to wild.

Desert Heat is the hottest of the dry rubs.

Blazin is the hottest of the sauces, made with the notorious ghost pepper, which often sends the heat meter needle over 1 million units. The habanero, by comparison, weighs in at a wimpy 100,000-350,000.

Let your taste buds roam to Asia, the Caribbean, the South or to Buffalo, New York. It’s all good.

regano’s sprouted and thrived in the Arizona desert, but its roots really stretch to Chicago’s North Side, where founder Mark Russell’s dad would entertain friends and family with outstanding pizza and pasta dishes and spin the Frank Sinatra and big band records.

The Gilbert joint embraces that nostalgic ambience and carries on the family legacy of providing great food and over-the-top hospitality. Oregano’s offers three kinds of lasagna and a classic eggplant parmesan. The Big Rig Pasta is another favorite, covering rigatoni with a tasty tomato chipotle cream sauce. The classic baked sandwiches are stuffed with meaty and cheesy goodness.

As everyone knows, it can be a challenge to even get into Oregano’s at times. Now you can add yourself to the waitlist with the Yelp app and arrive just before your table is ready.

ilbert workers and residents have a lot of choices when it comes to Asian food, but for those times when only Thai will do, they head straight for Thai Chili.

The pad Thai is a favorite, as well as the lineup of colorful curries. Many diners kick things off with spring rolls, dumplings or hotand-sour soup and, if there’s still some room in the tank, finish up with a sweet sticky rice dessert or coconut ice cream. Most dishes are gluten-free and cooked with non-GMO rice oil.

The original full-service restaurant’s popularity has spawned the expansion of convenient Thai Chili 2 Go outlets in Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Mesa and Scottsdale.

hen Chef W, his wife Vanessa Luna, their investment partners and their mostly autistic young employees created Not Your Typical Deli in 2016, they didn’t quite realize what a beast they were unleashing.

Gilbert residents, heartened by the sandwich shop’s mission, flocked to the place in droves, prompting a move to a sleek new space last December in Gilbert Town Square, near the Regal Stadium 14. The 60-seat cafe and 50-seat patio also includes a One More Bite Bakery outlet and a small Bergies operation that custom roasts the NYT Deli Blend.

Although none of it would have happened without the delicious, Italian-style sandwiches, Chef W said it’s all on the very special employees. “They’re running the show now. This is their restaurant. It’s amazing what these kids have done.”

Not Your Typical Deli

hen Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” visited Sal’s a few years ago, a guest said, “It’s a slice of New York in the middle of the desert.”

That was Sal Cuffaro’s simple business plan 12 years ago, and it always will be whether the cameras are on or off.

Sal built his loyal following because of the ingenious way he combines marvelously foldable pizza with pastas such as spaghetti and meatballs, ziti and lasagna.

Busy Gilbert workers stream through for a wide slice at lunch. At dinner, families take home boxes of extra pizza slices and scrumptious garlic knots to savor the next day.

If you can make it in before 5 p.m., seven days a week, wines by the glass and pitchers of beer are just $5. Savvy night owls drop in after 8 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays to order a bottle of wine and a bruschetta board for $20.

Postino’s bruschetta boards include 11 staple selections plus whatever may be in season. Try the tried-and-true fresh mozzarella with tomato and basil or warm artichoke spread, or travel to the savorysweet side with prosciutto, figs and mascarpone.

inburger’s lively atmosphere has a way of making you feel like a kid again, especially when you’re enjoying a perfectly cooked Angus burger and washing it down with a creamy milkshake.

You’ll be jolted back to the hipster present, however, as soon as you nibble on one of those decadent truffle fries. More in the mood for an adult beverage? This Fox Restaurant Concepts venue is famous for its lineup of moderately priced wines.

Happy Hour – Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. – is a perfect time to explore those discounted wines and enjoy the mini version of the signature Zinburger, topped with Manchego cheese and Zinfandel-braised onions.

t many sports bars around the East Valley, the penalty flags fly when it comes to the menu. Not true at Blue 32.

This locally owned Gilbert favorite prides itself every bit as much (maybe more) on its food quality as it does on being a prime event destination. Burgers are ground fresh, and steaks and seafood are hand-cut in house daily. Sandwiches and salads are topped with homemade sauces and dressings.

The MVP is the Black and Blue 32 Burger, seasoned with blackened spices and topped with bleu cheese crumbles and bacon. Go full steakhouse with the grilled ribeye, accompanied by an elegant specialty martini.

Thanks for thinking so highly of us.

2449 S. Market St., Gilbert south of Williams Field Rd.

n-N-Outs are ubiquitous now, but it all started in 1948 as a humble drive-through in California. The chain’s commitment to not growing too fast over the years and to always using the freshest, highest-quality ingredients makes it the burger of choice in Gilbert.

The hand-cut chuck and potatoes are never frozen or prepackaged, and a microwave oven has never seen the inside of a store. Even the buns are freshly baked from a traditional, slow-rising sponge dough recipe, then toasted to perfection.

The commitment to customer service is just as high. So you can get your burger Protein or Animal style. If you’re really hungry, go for the Double-Double, Triple-Triple or Quad-Quad.

t’s fitting that Rise Up’s signature cookie is called the OverAchiever. The brilliant blend of oats, chocolate chips, coconut, pretzels and cornflakes is all kinds of chewy-crunchysalty-sweet alpha perfection.

Because that’s what the Baker Jay husband-wife owners are, too. Not content to rest on their success or laurels since opening in 2014, the couple recently hired an international consultant to unlock the flaky secret of French croissants. The ham and cheese, pain au chocolat and the kouign amann (the ohso-good Brittany variation) have been bestsellers.

Of course, when there are those times when only a lemon bar, cinnamon roll or a loaf of Apple Cinnamon Swirl will do, Rise Up can help you out there, too.

f breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you’re in for a whole lot of important when you start your day at the Henhouse.

The Mom’s Homemade Pancakes are so huge that they have a warning flag on the menu – May Cause Drowsiness – but that doesn’t stop anyone from adding an egg or two or a side of homemade sausage.

Other patrons are big fans of the Paul Bunyan and the Barn Buster, which fulfill all of their egg, pork, potato and bready dreams.

Get your gravy on with one of the Benedicts.

It wasn’t until studying microbiology at ASU, though, that she realized she wanted to be a vet. So she packed up to the University of Wisconsin to get her DVM. With the clinic since 2003, Little and her colleagues perform well and sick dog and cat exams and spay and neuter surgeries along with soft-tissue, orthopedic and emergency surgeries.

est Pet Services – thoughts would normally run to the groomers and sitters who take wonderful care of your beloved pets. The fact that Friends for Life Animal Rescue is on top here is overwhelming proof that the Gilbert community is firmly aligned with this no-kill shelter’s compassionate mission.

Friends is stronger than ever now that it’s in a brandnew, 10,000-square-foot building near Baseline and Stapley, which has plenty of space for boarding, play, education, grooming and administrative tasks performed by the mostly volunteer staff. For 20 years, the shelter operated out of three ramshackle bungalows on Vaughn Street downtown.

The new facility was made possible by the annual and wildly popular BARKtoberfest fundraiser and through generous bequests from couples who provided forever homes over the years. “I knew we we’re making an impact on dogs’ and cats’ lives,” said spokesman Barb Savoy. “I didn’t quite realize the impact we were having on people.”

Over the years, thousands of Gilbert families have invested in Fulton neighborhoods, knowing that they’re getting superior energy efficiency, granite countertops, maple cabinets, 2-inch blinds and 18-inch ceramic tiles that are pricey upgrades with other builders.

Fulton’s current Gilbert showcase is Cooley Station near Williams Field and Recker roads. Cooley Station features five distinct sub-neighborhoods and 30 different floor plans. Two- to seven-bedroom homes range in size from 1,677 to 4,764 square feet. Prices start in the 290s.

Later this year, Fulton will start on Lakeview Trails at Morrison Ranch, which will offer the same six floor plans as Warner Groves on the west side of Higley road.

Air Conditioner Repair Service

W

hen the owners of Arizona’s Dukes of Air, John and Tonya Kubacki, moved here from Wisconsin, they could sense that many homeowners didn’t think very highly of the AC repair technicians they had dealt with previously. “We wanted to revolutionize the perception of the HVAC contractor one customer at a time,” said Tonya.

The Kubackis and their 17 technicians bring years of knowledge, experience and integrity to each job. Gilbert and other East Valley residents also appreciate the company’s community involvement.

The Dukes are active with various schools, subdivisions and local sports sponsorships.

One other fun thing: As a lot of Gilbert residents now know, when you see an orange Dukes of Air truck, make sure to wave and you’ll get a horn blast of the Dukes of Hazzard theme song in response.

hether they need weekly pool service, a pump repair or are considering a remodel, Gilbert homeowners make the call to Gilbert Poolman, aka Jake Boyer.

Boyer is a stickler for quality work and details. He requires his cleaners to keep chemical logs and to take a before and after photo of the pool, with the test strip, before leaving. If you’re not home when service is done, a door hanger is left describing what was done that day.

Boyer also has many years of experience at building and remodeling pools.

OeaningYour Home's Ventilation an dAir Duct System: Give your family a safer, cleaner, healthier and more efficient home environment!

Mold, mildew, dust, bacteria, animal dander and other harmful contaminants build up on your duct work month after month, year after year, These particles are circulated throughout your home every time your heating and cooling system kicks on. Even new homes can have construction dust, drywall, insulation and other debris in the duct work. This isn't just a nuisance, it's unhealthy!

Simply consider that 50% of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air, and you can understand why the Environmental Protection Agency views indoor air pollution as America's number one environmental health problem.

Industry experts also agree that removal of contaminants from your duct system is best accomplished by companies that utilize "push and pull" procedures. In this method, each register or vent is first sealed off, and then trained technicians connect a large diameter hose from a commercial vacuum to your main trunk line, which creates a scaled vacuum. Then, using a variety of special tools, dust, mild and caked-on dirt is loosened and pushed down the main trunk line and out to the vacuum unit. One completed, the registers, heat exchanger, fan blower and furnace compartments are also cleaned. As a final step, an antimicrobial that retards the growth of mold, mildew, fungi, algae and other disease-causing spores is misted into the duct system from each vent if indicated.

Give your family the gift of clean air by having your furnace and air duct system professionally cleaned.

ince 1970, A&P has been the place to go whenever Gilbert homeowners want to plant a shade or a citrus tree or get started on their vegetable gardens. A&P also offers all kinds of palms, shrubs and cactus, most of which are grown on its 20-acre farm in Queen Creek. The Gilbert store also has a lawnmower service and repair shop.

Owner Rob Johns said there has been great interest the past few years in peach, plum, apple and other fruit trees that do well in the desert heat.

Unlike northern varieties, these only need about 200-300 chill hours to thrive. “We wait until they’re proven for a few years before we bring them in.”

Best Roofing ive Guys owner Brent Stowell said he trains his four sons, office people and construction crews to be problem solvers. That means customers always get the right roofing materials at the best price, as well as a top-quality, professional installation.

In addition to replacing roofs, Five Guys provides repairs and inspections. They can help you out when buying a home and certify a roof if you’re selling. The firm also does a lot of commercial work and specializes in foam roofing installation and recoating.

“Believe it or not, I’m not necessarily fond of roofing in Arizona,” Stowell said. “When its 160 degrees on a roof, that’s not my favorite place to be. But I like it because I get to meet new people every day.”

The new model strives continually to recruit, engage and retain workers, resulting in decreased turnover and employees feeling more valued and loyal.

But then a new coach came in who also happened to be chiropractor. After a week of adjustments, Taylor had never felt better in his life and was off on a new career course.

Taylor specializes in sports chiropractic and is also certified in manipulation under anesthesia. He also uses acupuncture to treat chronic pain. He emphasizes the role of exercise and good nutrition in developing a healthy, energetic lifestyle.

Those plush fangs won’t do you or the opponent much damage, but the big, loveable furball excels at rallying the crowds at student pep rallies, cheering the athletes and supporting the cheer and pom squads. Tiger is equally enthusiastic about pouncing on elementary classrooms during Reading Week and making appearances at fundraisers.

Like most high school students these days, Tiger barely has time to take a study break, or a nap, even.

Navey Baker, the student behind the mask who brought Tiger national recognition several years ago, went on to join the spirit squad at Boise State University and now is an employee of Gilbert public schools.

ichelle Tischer admits she’s “a little nerdy – I own it.” But the parents of the students in her gifted fifth-grade class at San Tan Charter Elementary wouldn’t have it any other way.

After growing up in the Kyrene school district, Tischer completed a master’s in gifted education at ASU, inspired by her own kids’ school experiences. “They didn’t feel challenged,” she said. “They felt bored. I wanted to make a difference. Children deserve to learn something new every day.”

Tischer teaches all core subjects, and her class resembles a traditional one, except students go a lot faster, a lot deeper and are required to do a lot more projects.

Parents appreciate how San Tan holds multiple conferences per year and how the school teaches each student separately, at his or her level, in all subjects. San Tan’s gifted program identifies students’ unique academic, social and emotional needs and also gives them individualized curriculum paths.

Recently, the board approved a $19 million expansion project, which includes massive upgrades to the high school sports facilities and a new state-of-the-art elective building that will house a full home economics classroom, video arts lab and music studios.

Bill Bitter, director of orchestras and chair of the Performing Arts department, somehow keeps everyone on the same page. A violinist, Bitter has spent his 37-year career in Gilbert Public Schools, teaching orchestra and band at all levels. He has been at Highland since it opened in 1993.

Bitter said the music happens because students are valued as individuals. “It helps when they know you like them. It’s about the kids, not necessarily the music.
