Palo Fierro is a Sonoran kitchen and café on Roosevelt Row. We grind heirloom corn every morning, press tortillas to order, and cook over mesquite and pecan until late.

Named for the desert's hardest wood.

Palo fierro is the Sonoran ironwood, the tree that shelters everything else in the desert. We took its name as a promise: cook slowly, cook with what grows here, and keep the fire going.

Our corn comes from Arizona and northern Mexico growers. Tepary beans, chiltepín and mesquite flour come from farms within a day's drive. Everything else we make in-house, from the salsas to the piloncillo ice cream.
