🔥 Hecho Libre, a concept combining Mexico’s coastal vibrancy with the agricultural richness of the Sonoran Desert, has soft-opened at the newly renovated Kimpton Miralina Resort near the northwest corner of Scottsdale and Indian Bend in central Scottsdale.
The resort, formerly known as the Scottsdale Plaza Resort, officially opens Jan. 5.
‘‘Hecho Libre means ‘made free.’ It is about freedom in cooking, honoring tradition while creating your own path,’’ says chef Wes Avila, a two-time James Beard Award finalist. “We wanted to marry that idea with the spirit of the desert.’’
Signature dishes include chilaquiles with queso oaxaca, pickled red onion, and salsa china; halibut veracruzana with mariscos salsa and herbs; carnitas with pickled jalapeño relish; and pescado a las brasas grilled over open flame.
