    Sides that come with ceviche
    Toryanni E.

    Cute little place loved the menu! It was a warm day so we had the shrimp ceviche and it was amazing! First time i ever had saltines with ceviche and its quite the unique taste, I'd heard about it but had never tried it, so that was pretty cool. I found the ceviche very balanced which can be hard to do as you're using alot of citrus. Can't wait to try more things.

    This is one of ten local businesses that operate out of The Churchill in downtown Phoenix. Provecho serves Central Mexican cuisine and has tacos, ceviche, quesadillas, horchata and other favorites on their menu. We were out for drinks and stopped here for a bite. I did their 3 street taco deal for $12 and got Carne Asada, Pollo Asado, and Shrimp. The wait wasn't too long and there are benches to sit at inside the Churchill. Decent place to grab a quick bite.

    Carne en su jugo ($9.50) and churros ($6)
    Mia N.

    The carne en su jugo is nice and feels like comfort food. It's basically meat and beans in the meat broth/gravy and served with warm tortillas. I liked it, but there wasn't anything that made me crave it again. I also ordered the churros, which were delicious and freshly made. The churros came with 3 dipping sauces (caramel, strawberry, and a cream cheese(?)), and I think the strawberry was my favorite. I saw some interesting seafood dishes on the menu that I might try next time I come here.

    Elote in a cup

    The elote won my vote here! We had the birria (which was tad bit on the salty side) but were disappointed with it. The staff were awesome and replaced the meal for us. The chicken quesadilla and the carne asada quesadilla were tasty. Be ready for a large portion ...these are definitely shareable. I'd be back esp for the elote in a cup!!

    Pretty standard tacos, I wouldn't say they're extraordinary but they're also not straight up bad. I've only been to The Churchill a few times and it's better known as a spot for drinks, but Provecho provides the sustenance one needs before anything. My friend ordered their carne asada fries that had a variety of ingredients on them; she said they were okay. I am quite the picky eater so part of me is willing to choose this place again if I am eating at the Churchill and don't want anything else in there, but that's only because I was fine with all the ingredients on the tacos. Also this isn't what I would call a "cheap" place but I haven't really found a taco spot in downtown phoenix that I could include in that label anyways. I'd recommend staying near the ordering counter to wait for your food so that you can quickly get it when they call you and it doesn't get cold.

    I liked it, didn't love it. Living in Central Coast California we have Mexican food on corner. So to eat something a bit different is a good thing. Eating off paper isn't different but there presentation is good, it looked appealing. The jamaica in a bag was great, never seen that before. The flavors are good in the foods that didn't have to much heat. The hotter foods torched my mouth before I could get any flavors. Service was good and helpful with questions.

    This spot has really good tacos and is located inside of Churchill, which is a really nice lively area in downtown! I ordered the three plate taco combo: shrimp, care asada, and carnitas. The meat was very tender and I personally loved the carne asada taco because I typically find steak very dry, but not here! The only downside of my meal was that the food was pretty cold, so I'm unsure how fresh the tacos actually were. Overall, the food was still great and I would go back again. The ambiance was a 10/10 experience! Churchill has open outdoor seating, which made it more COVID safe and there are other trendy restaurants within that area. They had a live DJ too! I would definitely recommend this spot!

    Finally came to try the new spot in downtown! Let's just start by saying The Churchill is legit, can't wait to come back to hangout with friends. Provecho caught my eye after stating they stuck to authentic Jalisco, Guadalajara foods. Their menu offers a great variety and daily specials. We ordered tacos: chicken, carne asada, brisket, and shrimp. All of the meats/shrimp/chicken had a flavorful taste. The brisket is bursting in flavor and filling; not you're typical meat for a taco but highly recommend it. The chicken taco was perfect, not dry and juicy. We also tried the elote in a cup, the corn has its own flavor which is amazing and super tasty. I also got an agua fresca best part is the little bag they serve it in, the horchata is great. I'm just excited to come back and try more of their menu as they have ceviche, birria de chivo, and different plates. To top off the stop, the owner came out and approached us to check on the food and say hello! Job well done!

    The corn dogs were good, the quesadillas are good. Can't complain on the wait time, service or atmosphere. They are part of a food truck type community bar. Definitely looking forward to trying other menu items. Think these guys are hard workers and have a great concept on their food items. Definitely would recommend. You can order. Then grab a drink at one of the bars, find a spot to sit and bang. Foods ready.

    Tres Leches Cake & Torta Ahorgada
    Brent C.

    Business incubators like The Churchill are great for giving small startup businesses a space from which to launch a vision. In Provecho's case, the vision of owner Ryan Oberholtzer is to bring his interpretation of Jaliscos style Mexican food to the Downtown Phoenix crowd. And to do so in an eco friendly manner. The mission seems like a noble one. And with big crowds consistently streaming into The Churchill's inviting complex, its a pretty good spot to take a gamble. Likewise, I decided to take a gamble on Provecho for an early dinner on Saturday afternoon. The Churchill complex can be found on the northeast corner of 1st Street & Garfield in Downtown. Look for Provecho's small kitchen setup inside the southeast corner of the complex. Here you order at the register. After ordering they give you a card with an illustration on it (mine was a drum set). When the order is ready, the cooks place a blowup photo of your illustration in the kitchen window. You then pick it up and grab a seat anywhere in the complex. While they have tacos as any Mexican joint would, the menu otherwise largely steers clear the Americanized Mexican foods we're accustomed to. Ceviches, Aguachiles, and even Tortas make appearances on the menu. Speaking of which, that torta was what I was here for. I've had tortas (Mexican sandwiches) throughout the Phoenix area and rarely have left unhappy. Provecho's Torta Ahorgada is a sandwich of carnitas stuffed inside Bolillo (basically a Mexican baguette) that is then quite literally drowned in tomato sauce. Intriguing. I also asked for a couple of appetizers, but they were out of both. Out of two menu items before the prime dinner hour on a Saturday? No bueno. On the plus side, they were stocked on the dessert front and a good tres leches cake was mighty appealing. Provecho's tres leches is served with whipped cream, strawberry sauce, toasted almonds, and shaved coconut. Total cost for the food and tax came to $15. The eco friendly angle comes in the form of compostable plates and silverware. Even the cups and take out bags are compostable. Mother Earth sends her thanks. Now then, let's evaluate the food. But first, I have to mention my food took almost 15 minutes. I know its a small operation, but it was hardly the busiest time of day so I can only imagine how long it takes during prime time. My feelings about the torta were...mixed. I loved the tender juicy carnitas and there was lots of it. The Bolillo bread was decent too but honestly I think the tomato sauce kind of soured me on this sandwich. A little spice or seasoning would've done this dish some good as the tomato sauce was really bland. The Tres Leches cake on the other hand was very pleasant with a super moist texture and I really liked the addition of the strawberry sauce. Overall, just okay this first go around. The dessert gets a big thumbs up and the meat in my sandwich was excellent. But between the slow service, missing menu ingredients, and bland tomato sauce, it was far from ideal. Somewhere between a 2.5-3 star experience for me. Provecho has been open long enough that they should have the kitchen flow and the food inventory pretty well figured out. But at least for now, this ambitious startup still has plenty of room for improvement.

But I wanted something hearty after donating blood the day before at Phoenix Fan Fusion. I felt like I didn't eat enough to replenish all of the corpuscles I shed, so a hearty late breakfast was in order. I was pleasantly thrilled with my choice of Presidio Cocina Mexicana, as the late breakfast I ordered did not disappoint! I ordered the Chilaquiles, which are essentially breakfast nachos, and you have a choice of protein to add. I chose the birria beef which was perfectly slow-cooked and complemented the corn tortilla chips, cheese, and eggs superbly. I opted for both the red chile and green chile sauce which coated the chips along with a generous layer of tangy cotija cheese. I asked for the eggs scrambled and they cooked them just how I like them... fairly dry and in a thin griddled layer. Add to this mound of well-seasoned goodness a decent dolloping of Tapatio hot sauce (and salt and pepper on the eggs) and I had endless perfect bites of spicy, meaty brekkie goodness that brought delighted yummy sounds from my grateful gullet! This was quality food and the couple at the bar next to me raved about the Menudo, so it has all the hallmarks of authentic Mexican fare. It restored me from borderline anemic to my usual strutting rugged caballero self. "¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!"

The restaurant is inside of an old brick home with wood interior and warm colors. The service was good-- friendly and food came out at a good pace, we were checked on regularly. We ordered an appetizer and then entrees from the lunch menu. The aguachile appetizer is SO good. It's bright, fresh, and has a lot of flavor in the green sauce. It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
