"Married couple Nadia Holguin and Armando Hernandez (Chihuahua natives, aka Chiwas) turn out excellent street tacos at their three Valley locations in Phoenix, Chandler, and Mesa. Order juicy barbacoa, their signature Taco Chiwas (filled with beef, ham, chiles and cheese), and the best tripas in town — all tucked into handmade corn tortillas. The pair have also opened Cocina Chiwas in Tempe and Santo Arcadia in Phoenix’s South Arcadia. Both specialize in modern regional Mexican food. Hot tip: Order a mix of á la carte tacos, gorditas, and burritos — the same meats and daily specials run across the menu, and everything hits." - McConnell Quinn
