You don’t encounter many Minnesota Vikings bars in Arizona. But Jupe’s, a small, cash-only tavern open since 1982 in west Mesa, is a sea of purple on NFL Sundays, owing to a lineage in bar ownership that stretches back to Fargo, North Dakota. Inside, the bar’s all patchwork wood paneling, period-specific beer signs, framed 8-by-10s […]
A freestanding neighborhood joint just north of Alma School and Broadway roads in Mesa, Kay’s deals cheap drinks and generous pours to a clientele of working-class locals. Once a truck repair shop dating back to the ‘60, this spacious bar keeps to its blue-collar roots with framed photos of souped-up race cars on the walls, […]
Kids That Rip Skatepark in Mesa sent two of its skaters to X-Games 18 in Los Angeles during 2012 to compete on the ramps. But not every skater out there has the goods to be X Games-worthy. So why not grind bowls, ramps, and rails aplenty on smooth wood surfaces indoors instead of baking in […]

Street food fare includes stellar flautas full of moist shredded […]
This Mexico-based chain delivers the fare of Mexico City — it’s different, but not exotic. Grilled meat and cheese dishes are the specialties here, but nothing will torch your tender lips. If you’re not filled by dinner’s end, give the bready sopapillas and dense Mexican flan a try.

Not a foreign word, or even an accent mark, on this all-American menu. But the simple fare, like prime rib, and corn-bread-and-apple-stuffed pork chops, is outstanding. And it all comes with one of the Valley’s better salad bars. The place to take Mom when she comes for a visit.

The biggest Ranch Market to date in Arizona, with about 53,000 square feet of Mexican foodstuffs in one space. This blockbuster supermercado boasts its own food court, a pescader
