J Bar Description:
Located in the same building as Janos Wilder's namesake restaurant, J Bar is the chef's more casual (but still chic) sibling. J Bar offers a modern take on Mexican cuisine, much of it inspired by Sonora, Arizona's Mexican neighbor. Antojitos, or appetizers, include ginger ale-marinated calamari, crisp-crusted and splashed with a pomegranate vinaigrette. Continue with the Oaxacan lamb barbacoa accompanied by green corn tamale pie or the luscious shrimp mojo de ajo sided with garlic fries. Myriad steaks, including a New York strip, rib-eye and sirloin, are also available. A happy hour must is Wilder's spin on a Mexican street cart favorite: the Sonoran hot dog. Deftly grilled, paved with chorizo-laced black beans, cheese, bacon, thick whole-grain mustard, ketchup and mayo, it's thrust between a super soft bun procured from a nearby Mexican bakery. For dessert, try the signature dark chocolate jalapeño ice cream sundae---spicy, sweet and big enough to share. The dining room, hued with splashes of desert sunset colors, is always convivial, but when the weather cooperates, dining on the patio is also a treat.
