"A cheese crisp is simply an open-faced flour tortilla covered in grated cheese, then put in the oven or broiler so the tortilla gets crispy and the cheese gets melty. You can find cheese crisps on menus throughout Arizona, easily proving that this state has its culinary head in the right place. AtEl Charro Cafe, the crisp is a good place to start, as long as it is followed by another signature dish: the carne seca. The beef is sun-dried on the restaurant’s roof, then shredded and mixed with various spices and chiles. Get it in a burro, on a platter, or in tacos. And then find a way to also order enchiladas. And carne asada. Yeah, you gotta come here with a big crew. Preferably during happy hour which starts at 3 p.m. and includes half-price margaritas." - ByCarey Polis
