Food Scene
Not your typical Mexican food! Oaxacan style with fresh ingredients, great margaritas, and a menu that changes daily. I highly suggest ordering "The Plato" which is the chef's choice of 3 dishes picked at random.

Did you know south eastern AZ has the same soil and climate as Bordeaux, France? Kief-Joshua is just one of many wineries in Elgin and Sonoita, AZ. About an hour away, but always a fun, casual good time! I suggest you pack a picnic basket since there are only a few restaurants around there.
