Distrito restaurant in Scottsdale is trying to break a curse. The space it inhabits has been a Fiamma, an Asia de Cuba, and something else we can’t remember. Worse yet, it’s surrounded by a hotel that’s been The James, The Mondrian, The Theodore, The something-in-between-we-can’t-remember…

They said that if we went, we’d no longer be friends. So, of course, we snuck in and took alllllllllll these pretty pictures. We paid. We had fun. We’re probably going to get a phone call now.

But look! The handmade guacamole is served with a wintertime snowfall of cotija cheese! The pulled pork taco is piled grande!
The chicken ropa vieja taco practically smells delicioso from your computer! And the huarache de hongos forest mushrooms is a
Jackson Pollack of flavor!

Reflect in the decorative fun! Pinks, organes, yellows, blues, greens, blacks, and whites! Some people fight race wars, but Distrito fights color wars, and wins!

The End(but probably not because we believe Distrito has finally broken the curse!)
