12 Indispensable, Classic Phoenix Restaurants

"The original South Phoenix location is spare and maybe even a little rundown, but nobody cares because the Sonoran Mexican food served here since 1968 is homey and delicious. Flour tortillas are made fresh throughout the day; they are soft, pliant, and nearly transparent — easily the best in town. Make sure to order something that makes use of these spectacular wrappers: maybe a breakfast burrito, a burrito stuffed with machaca or a crunchy, sour cream-topped chimichanga. Grab a package of those ethereal tortillas to take home." - Nikki Buchanan
