As the name implies, you can’t go wrong with the West Phoenix storefront’s Mexican soups. Three versions of puzzle (red, white, or green), as well as caldo de res and menudo, make this quaint restaurant worth seeking out. Richly flavored broths liberally loaded with chunks of tender meat are top-notch, as is the cesina (seasoned […]
Presidio Cocina Mexicana is an unsung hero of the Mexican food scene in Phoenix. Sure, people know about it and go for brunch on the weekends. But this place deserves to be celebrated. Tucked into a corner storefront in a strip mall off Thomas Road, this small eatery serves Michoacán-style family recipes. Pull up a […]
Attractive, 8,000-square-foot hacienda-style eatery devoted to a more healthful take on Mexican grub, mixing in elements of Baja style and California cuisines. The bright, airy interior includes a fantasia of Mexican tile, artwork and furniture. Menu faves include the rich, flavorful chicken mole, the pork chop adobo, and the salmon enchiladas in avocado sauce. Don’t […]

This long-running Tempe favorite has been housed in several locations in the Mill Avenue area, but folks always seem to find it – the staff has been there forever, and is nicer than your own family. Imagine Cheers, only Sonoran restaurant style. And, come to think of it, even friendlier.
The small city of El Mirage, sandwiched between Sun City and Surprise, doesn’t have very many locally owned places to eat. But there you’ll find Rio Mirage Café y Cantina, a spot with Mexican staples as well as one of the best brunches in the Valley. Full of Latin flavor, breakfast includes chorizo con huevos, […]

Rosa’s summons visions of a Baja-beach taqueria without the flies. It’s neat as a pin, with fabulous tacos (try the fish). The meats are marinated in fruit juices for 12 hours, then slowly cooked. In any form — burros, chimis or stuffed quesadillas — they’re first-rate.
A real gem when it comes to authentic Mexican fare in the Valley. The humble exterior belies a quaint ambiance consisting of colorful tiles, rough-hewn furniture, and a small, gurgling waterfall with fish in the pool below. As far as the food goes, consider it your yardstick for how magnificent tacos and frijoles can taste. […]
