One of the best places to truly see the range of diversity in Arizona food is right here in Peoria — or more specifically, in the P83 Entertainment District. The following are some of the best restaurants in the P83 Entertainment District you have to check out the next time you’re in the area.

Revolu Modern Taqueria + Bar

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, then head to Revolu Modern Taqueria + Bar and take a seat. This colorful bar serves ridiculously good street-style tacos, chicken and shrimp fajitas, beef short rib enchiladas, and spicy shrimp coctel. Revolu also offers vegetarian fare, such as the crispy avocado taco and firecracker cauli bites.

The bar is a go-to choice for friend groups out and about thanks to shareable platters and affordable tacos — only $2 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays!

The Social on 83rd

Among the many P83 Entertainment District restaurants, another popular meeting place is The Social on 83rd. Instead of getting together for some Mexican finger food though, this restaurant caters to the brunch-loving crowd. Feel fancy while snacking on the charcuterie or cheese boards while catching up with friends and loved ones.

The Social offers classic a la carte brunch fare, such as stuffed French toast, eggs Benedict, avocado toast, bruschetta boards, and more. The restaurant also has some meatier items, such as wings, sliders, burgers, and a Cubano panini.

Pho for Days

Head over to Pho for Days for heartwarming, Vietnamese comfort food. As the name suggests, Pho for Days serves an incredibly flavorful bowl of pho or Vietnamese noodles with beef, chicken, or shrimp. The place also has equally great banh mi sandwiches, shrimp fried rice, egg rolls, and Vietnamese spring rolls.

Combined with the tasteful decor, attentive service, and the pleasant atmosphere, we’re sure you’ll be coming back for more pho in the coming days.

Serra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse

Meat lovers love Serra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse. Here, you’ll get your fill of mouthwatering traditional Brazilian churrasco. The must-try cut is the picanha, the signature cut from the top part of the top sirloin beef. The restaurant also serves perfectly seasoned and roasted tri tip, filet mignon, leg of lamb, pork ribs, and linguica pork sausage.

Top your very meaty order with a sweet treat in the form of Serra Gaucha’s papaya cream, Brazilian flan, or a classic key lime pie.

Headquarters Grill Bar Sushi

Last, but not least, is one of the top restaurants in the P83 Entertainment District — Headquarters Grill Bar Sushi. This local sports bar is well loved among locals. Open until 1 a.m., Headquarters serves filling food that’s perfect as a midnight snack, such as crispy spring rolls and mac and cheese bars.

For dinner, make sure to try the creative sushi options and delicious wings and burgers. Pair your meal with one of the many beers, or try one of Headquarters’ signature cocktails for a full experience.

P83: The Foodie Destination

The diversity of Arizona’s culinary scene is evident among the restaurants in the P83 Entertainment District. From vibrant Mexican cuisine to heartwarming Asian food to classic American brunch, there’s a little bit of everything here.

A look at Glendale today will show you a thriving community. This vibrant and diverse city in Maricopa County has grown to be one of the most diverse and bustling cities in the state. The city’s vibrance and attractiveness can be attributed to its history as a desert land developed into a town. 

Phoenix and Early Canals

Glendale, AZ, began as a desert in Arizona in the 1800s. The area was no more than a barren land plagued by droughts. Within Arizona, Phoenix had already begun to attract its share of settlers, becoming an established community in the heart of Arizona’s territory.

The development of Phoenix can be traced back to two things: the construction of a railway and, most importantly, a network of prehistoric Hohokam canals. The canals allowed water to flow through the city, giving life to the community and the nearby farms that sustained it.

When Was Glendale, AZ, Founded?

Unfortunately, the area to the west of Phoenix remained dry. Seeing this and the potential this area had, William J. Murphy, along with two other builders, took initiative. It was because of him that the nearly 40-mile [mf1] Arizona Canal was constructed. In 1885, his vision came to fruition as the canal was completed, bringing much-needed water to irrigate the lands to the west.

To pay for the debt he incurred for the canal’s construction, he intended to sell the land south of the canal. In 1887, William J. Murphy named this area “Glendale.”

1891: The Influx of Settlers

After 1887, Murphy wanted to draw potential investors for the development of the newly founded Glendale. As an area south of the canal, early Glendale was not connected to any major part of Arizona.

Murphy then proceeded to construct the 11-mile Grand Avenue to connect Glendale to Phoenix. The construction of this diagonal road did more than attract investors. It also contributed to the influx of settlers lured by the promise of space and opportunities in a new land. From 1891 until 1895, Glendale saw consistency in the diverse families coming to start a new life.

1906: The Beet Sugar Factory and More Settlers

Farming was crucial to early businesses in Glendale. It was equally important for families, though on a smaller scale. With sugar beets being the main crop of the town, selling products derived from it was deemed a must.

In 1906, the Beet Sugar Factory was constructed. The factory allowed the town’s main crop to be manufactured for commercial applications. With word going around that a factory was built, more immigrants made their way to Glendale.

Glendale, AZ, History Is the Story of a Vision, Water, and Sugar Beets

From being a barren drought-stricken area in Arizona, Glendale has grown into a thriving city. Ultimately, Glendale’s 200-year-old story is one where one man’s vision, a lot of water, and some sugar beets were the main characters.
