Review of Gertrude's

Gertrude’s is inside the Phoenix Botanical Garden so I’d recommend reservations. It has outdoor seating & plenty of GF options on the menu. We split the Tamales & the Green Chili Bacon Cheeseburger. Deep fried fingerling potatoes came with our burger & we verified that they had a dedicated fryer before ordering. Both entrees were delish, but the tamales were out of this world! For dessert we shared a lemon/blueberry fluff with a meringue cookie & blackberries on top. We also had the 7 piece donut holes that were a real show stopper!!!The donut holes were dipped in cinnamon & sugar, then came with caramel, strawberry & hot fudge dipping sauces. They took a bit longer because they are made to order, but completely worth it. They were piping hot & super moist inside. I would totally go back for the tamales & donut holes in a heartbeat. I’m very sensitive to cross contamination & has no repercussions from eating at Gertrude’s.
