There's no denying that Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen here in the Valley of the Sun. But gourmet Mexican (otherwise known as "gour-mex")?? Not so common. Which is why you need to try Padre's Modern Mexican Cuisine, where authentic and delicious Mexican food is served with flair and not just a little bit of boldness. Co-founder Denny Durbin lived in the heart of Mexico for more than two decades, where, in trendy San Miguel de Allende, he opened the innovative and popular Agave Azul restaurant in 1999. This was the prototype for Padre's here in Phoenix, which he and his wife Ivanne and their son Cole opened on Cinco de Mayo 2004. Executive chef Ivanne was born and grew up in Mexico City and Cuernavaca, Mexico. Her training? "After cooking for a family of 15 to 25 nightly," she laughs, "guess what? You're a chef!" Chef Victor Romero, formerly of the popular Richardson's Restaurant, joined the team to further refine Ivanne's original recipes, add even more fresh ingredients and provide special interpretations of classic recipes. Pastry Chef Kyle Kobs came on board to add some mouthwatering desserts to the already impressive menu. Padre's menu will surprise anyone familiar with American-Mexican food. Sure, you'll find tacos, enchiladas and burritos, but even these are served with a twist, like salmon spinach enchiladas in chipotle cream sauce, duck breast tacos, and a burrito filled with chargrilled chicken, sauted mushrooms, caramelized onions, aaxaca and cheddar cheese. You'll also be tempted by an array of seafood and other delectable dishes, such as grilled salmon with an orange-chile triple sec glaze, roasted pork tenderloin with mole verde, and even pasta. Pasta? In a Mexican restaurant? Durbin says absolutely. "You'll commonly find pasta on family dinner tables in much of Mexico." You'll be lucky if you have room for a main course if you sample the great appetizers.
