Glenrosa is a place where clean, authentic Sonoran food is shared with friends and family, and great memories are created and reflected on. Our menus are carefully curated by Chef Victor Davila III who thoughtfully selects and perfects each offering. The space we occupy embodies Arizona’s rich agricultural history, with a fusion of influences representative of a deep appreciation for the Southwest.

Glenrosa

A blending of Mexican, Spanish, New Mexican, Native American and Southwest cuisines. It is a diverse menu with the refinement of Mexican spice and sophistication through innovative cooking styles; we are defining Arizona cuisine.

We're known for our famous Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, chopped salad, cheese fries, homemade chocolate cake, and chocolate cake shake. Our Italian beef is slow-roasted for four hours, thinly sliced, and served on freshly baked French bread. Then, it's dipped in hot gravy made with our homemade blend of seasonings that we've been perfecting for 60 years. Haven't tried Portillo's yet? Order an Italian beef dipped with sweet or hot peppers (add mozzarella if you're feeling cheesy) or a Chicago-style hot dog "dragged through the garden," and you'll see what all the hype is about.

The world's largest museum of firefighting history offers more than a hundred fire trucks, steamers, hand pumpers and other fully restored pieces of fire apparatus, dating from 1725 to the early 2000s, as well as other artifacts and memorabilia from all corners of the globe. Most of the pieces are American, but we also have pieces from England, France, Austria, Germany, Peru and Japan. The Hall of Flame sponsors the National Firefighting Hall of Heroes, which honors firefighters who have died in the line of duty or who have been decorated for heroism. The Hall also includes a gallery dedicated to the history of wildland firefighting in the United States, and a children's play area and a real fire truck that kids can climb on, so it is an ideal destination for kids, but just as educational and inspiring for adults. The Hall of Flame is sponsored by the National Historical Fire Foundation, which was established in 1961 by George F. Getz, Jr.
