Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
More to love, baby.
It’s always fun to report on a new restaurant opening, but this tidbit is particularly delectable because it’s all about tortas. Tortas El Guero, that is.
Last week, the Mexican sandwich shop just opened its fifth Valley location, at 4121 E. Thomas Road (602-840-2889). It’s no wonder the place is booming — El Guero’s giant sandwiches are delicious enough to inspire wild cravings, and cheap enough to make resistance futile.
I’m a sucker for the cochinita — sort of a Mexican pulled pork sammie — but among the 20+ varieties they have there, I swear I haven’t had a bad one yet. Guaranteed to make you smile.
