We’ve been cooking up fresh, made-from-scratch Mexican food for over 30 years.
Chef John Conley, a native of Phoenix, AZ, with his love of food and cooking embedded early on in life and the inspiration to open his own restaurant, John opened his first restaurant, Salsa Brava, at the age of twenty-one. He later went on to open Fat Olives Italian Kitchen, join celebrity chefs on food tours such as the Mess Lords and make guest appearances on national cooking shows.
The readers of the Arizona Daily Sun have voted Salsa Brava the best Mexican restaurant five times and the best salsa nine times, is listed among the Food Network’s “Top Places to Eat in Flagstaff” and was featured in Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. John has strived to create an unforgettable blend of traditional Mexican and Southwestern cuisine with original dishes you won’t find anywhere else using local ingredients whenever possible, including fresh produce straight from the Flagstaff Farmers Market. Salsa Brava continues to be a favorite local and visitor spot to dine for Southwest cuisine in Flagstaff, AZ located on the famous Route 66.
