Nestled on a Cottonwood street corner, Adriana’s is a hidden gem if we’ve ever seen one.
Google Maps The definition of unassuming based on the exterior alone, this family-owned eatery focuses all of its attention on the highest-quality Mexican food around.
Inside is a similar situation; largely no-frills sprinkled with little pops of color in the form of sombreros, papel picado, and other traditional Mexican symbols.

Start your meal off with some chips and homemade salsa that packs the perfect amount of punch.

Whether you like fajitas, carne asada, enchiladas, or something else entirely, rest assured it’s on the menu (and even if it isn’t, Adriana and her staff are known for being ridiculously accommodating).
