Formerly the Culinary Cafe, Cafe Oso has been re-vamped by Phoenix College faculty member and Valley restaurateur Anthony Redondo.  He and his staff have done great work here. They did an entire re-design of the menu, and are now offering a wide array of contemporary entrees at totally reasonable prices.  The table-side guacamole gives Gallo a run for its money.  Complimentary vegetable platter was savory and beautiful.  The flavors and textures I had were clearly well thought out, if not perfectly executed.  This is a local lunch secret that is unfortunately too-well-kept.  At a minimum, PC students need to know about this place, since the quality and price of the food would actually fit within their budgets I think.  For less than $10 you can have a great meal, innovatively prepared, and made from quality ingredients.  I will be advertising this to my classes, for sure.  Kudos to Cafe Oso, keep it up.
