A recent favorite of ours is Maskadores Taco Shop (20 locations valley wide)



We go to the one on McKellips and Miller.

I love the Chicken Vinegaretta Chicken Wet Burrito.

My son loves that place! At times, we were the lightest skinned people in there! LOL!

Recently ate at a Los Favoritos (east valley small chain)



Had the Green Chili Burrito - it was awesome
Love Los Favs. Ate at the one by work just yesterday. I'll usually get a combo like the Chimichanga, rice, and beans, but yesterday I got their Carne Asada Special - burrito, rice, and beans. Really good stuff. Good red and green sauce there, too. My wife loves their hot carrots as a side.

Kind of Mexicanish as well - Gadzooks is the bomb! I usually get a Modelo Braised bison/cornbread enchilada and a Guajillo Braised Short Rib/Smashed Jack Potato enchilada.

IT's so freaking good.

They were at Dbacks stadium, I got a grapefruit Margarita there that was good!

For Seafood, Mariscos Playa Hermosa on 16th Street south of Roosevelt is excellent


One of the few places with vegan AND gluten free! I challenge a drinker to not find something they like there! Their drinks are off the hook!

Los Dos Molinos is one of my favorites if I want to burn my digestive track from the inside out.
Dikks hideaway on 16st and bethany is also ridiculously spicy.

La santisima is a great spot, with a huge salsa bar.

Tacos Chiwas, and Presidio Cocina are also really good. So many good options... it's hard to choose!

I agree about Cocina Madrigal. Their beef tenderloin tacos are amazing!

Has anyone been to Bacanora? It’s right down the street from me and I’ve heard great things about them

I was just going to say Dick's Hideaway/Richardson's. Their adovada and enchiladas are so good. They have multiple sauces that have been perfected over decades and they cover so many flavors. They have amazing protein options that come and go, fresh seafood, prime rib, steaks, specials, you really want to ask what's new after you try the staples. It's not everyday, but on occasion they make carnitas and I almost rose to Heaven the last time I tried it. If you want hot, but with serious flavor, get some habanero sauce on the side. Did I mention a fully stocked bar?

I think I know where I'm going this weekend! :idea:

Does fry bread count? Because family owned small business Maria's Fry Bread on 40th St and Thomas is amaze balls
