Mexican in Phoenix

We drove around on a recent banker’s holiday, looking for a cheese enchilada. What we found was two things: that most of the local Mexican eateries were closed, and that Abuelo’s serves something called the Reynosa Salad. It’s a fresh, green salad layered with seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, jack and Cheddar cheeses, chile […]
ACR Elotes is certainly the best elote cart in metro Phoenix, but it’s also one of the most elusive. It’s worth chasing down this particular elote cart, though, which does not always keep regular hours but which makes regular appearances on Calle 16. Bring cash (no cards accepted, at press time), and prepare to delight […]

The 1994-founded, family-owned Adalberto’s Mexican Food has opened a second location, this one near Chandler Fashion Center. The 24-hours restaurant offers tacos, burritos, breakfast items, and a drive-thru window.
It’s best not to stand between us and this restaurant when we’re on our way there for steak fajitas, as we’re likely to knock you down. We can’t wait to get to this giant meal, served with rice, beans, guacamole, and Pico de Gallo. Jammed with spicy peppers, onion, and mushroom, these grilled lovelies can’t […]
Whoever heard of Tacos Morongo? We hadn’t, until we started dining each weekend at this popular Mexican diner. Now we’re addicted to handmade corn tortillas stuffed with seasoned steak (or chicken, or shrimp) and dressed with fresh cilantro, onions, Jack cheese, and a creamy avocado purée. We ordered it every time we went, until Ajo […]

Plan ahead, and leave plenty of time for your meal at Alebrijes. This Litchfield Park restaurant is popular and often requires a wait. But the food is oh so worth it. The kitchen focuses on Oaxacan-style Mexican cuisine, with many of the dishes smothered in sweet, rich black mole or the slightly spicy red version. […]
By popular vote, this place is the home of the best carne asada in the valley-not to mention some of the freshest food around. America’s Taco Shop makes everything fresh daily, in house, often from locally grown ingredients. We dig the Torta Pastor, a sort of a Mexican sandwich of toasted telera bread, mayonnaise, guacamole, […]
There are only a few Valley outposts of New Mexican-style Mexican food, which is typically hot and spicy. If you like to feel the burn, check out the carne adobada or chile colorado, both of which give off the lingering scorch of Hatch, New Mexico chiles. Nice touch: The traditional chips and salsa opener is […]

Whether entering from the small parking lot or the surrounding neighborhood, you’ll smell the kitchen — grilled meat, aromatic onions, some array of spices — before you even reach the doorway to Asadero Norte De Sonora. Asadero may be one of the coziest Mexican restaurants in the Valley. The dining room is homey and brightly […]
Asadero Toro is the kind of nondescript, standalone Mexican restaurant that seems to fade into the metro Phoenix landscape without notice. But if you’re the kind of Mexican food aficionado who can appreciate a well-made side of beans, it’s worth taking note of Asadero Toro. First, there’s the bean and cheese burrito, a simple classic […]
