About Us
Great pleasure awaits patrons of Spotted Donkey where creative cuisine is a lusty mix of regional flavors, top-notch artisanal ingredients and locally sourced foods, from meats to coffee, are de rigueur here. The inspired menu embraces Arizona’s southwestern influences such as the popular Arizona Mac 'n Cheese made with Mexican Cheeses and Hatch Green Chilies. It also strikes a balance between hearty cantina fare and fine dining – part Chimichanga part Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin with sweet potato tamale, and red chile mole. But it unfailingly presents a modern vision of classic “Cantina-style” dishes.
