Pura Vida (“Pure Life”) – that’s the slogan of this RestoBar in Phoeniz. Ticoz Resto-Bar is a Latin cuisine restaurant/lounge. I really enjoyed the intimate relaxed atmosphere feel to it as I walked in. The food is influenced by the flavors of both South & Central America and Mexico. I started off with one of their amazing sangrias. I got Passion Fruit which consisted of red cabernet with fruit juice and various fruits. I got to admit that it was one pretty good sangria. The tortilla soup was a good choice for an appetizer. For my entrée, I got the Blue Corn Enchiladas. Basically it is two blue corn tortillas loaded with chicken, green chile, various cheeses, sour cream, green chile sauce, rice and grilled zucchini. It was a fabulous dish full of flavors, not too spicy or too bland. Ticoz rates high on my list and a great place to take a date.
