An Invitation to Indulge in the Extraordinary

Derived from the Spanish word for "desire," Anhelo (Ahn-eh-loh) is more than a name—it’s a philosophy. A calling to seek something deeper, more meaningful, and profoundly memorable through the art of dining.

​

At the helm is Chef Ivan Jacobo, whose vision transcends the conventional. For him, a meal is never just about food—it’s a meticulously curated experience designed to spark conversation, evoke emotion, and forge lasting memories. Dining at Anhelo is about connection, intimacy, and the pure joy of sharing something exceptional.

​

What began as a coveted underground dining series, Hidden Kitchen, has evolved into one of the most exclusive culinary destinations in Arizona. Here, Chef Jacobo brings the same intentionality and artistry that once defined his private dinners into a refined, brick-and-mortar experience like no other.

​

Our seasonally driven menu, crafted with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, is designed for sharing and discovery. Each dish is a harmonious balance of creativity and comfort—made to invite exploration and conversation at the table.

​

But the experience doesn't stop there.
