When I first visited Phoenix from San Francisco, I asked my girlfriend to take me for Southwestern. We eat alot of Mexican food out here, and she insisted that Southwestern was different than Mexican. I was skeptical. I ordered the Tortilla Encrusted Halibut. Absolute spicy perfection. Southwestern is some of my favorite food now, and Richardson's one of my favorite restaurants. Been back several times. Each time I am in Phoenix, I have to eat at Richardson's. I can see why it's one of the favorite restaurants for people in Phoenix/Scottsdale.
Pros: It's always about the food; wine list is very nice
Cons: Can be a bit busy, but we go early
