Description
Bleached cow skulls, rope-bound light bulbs, and studded brown leather chairs greet you at Downtown’s High Noon, setting the scene for a standoff between you and the crescent-shaped fry bread tacos ($7). The “Southwest by Northwest” bar specializes in tequila and mescal, and their natural bedfellow, fry bread. Four flavors, achiote chicken to brisket are best topped with creamy tomatillo or spicy roasted pasilla verde salsa and bright pickled onions. Ignore the flatware; this is a hands-on operation.
