Phoenix, Arizona’s Best Restaurant Dishes and Drinks | Eater Phoenix
"What is more Phoenix than eating a cactus? Nopales are typically associated with central and southern Mexico, where the nopal cactus grows abundantly, and have long been commonplace in Phoenix restaurants. Cactus paddles from the plant are scraped free of any thorns, grilled, and sliced into strips. At Los Reyes de la Torta, they can be served atop huaraches — a thick, oblong masa base topped with refried beans, cheese, and fresh toppings — or offered in a classic corn quesadilla dish. They make for a vegetarian-friendly option that perfectly embodies Arizona." - McConnell Quinn
