The 38 Essential Restaurants in Phoenix
"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 in handmade corn tortillas. The pair have recently opened Cocina Chiwas in Tempe and Santo Arcadia in Phoenix’s South Arcadia. Both specialize in upscale, modern Mexican food." - Nikki Buchanan, Chris Malloy
