Los Olivos Mexican Patio

Saved from condemnation by the direct intervention of Barry Goldwater, the Second Street location of this decades-old Mexican restaurant is definitely one of Arizona’s culinary landmarks. It features the old reliable Mexican staples — green corn tamales, enchiladas and chile relleno. Additional location in this region: 15544 N. Pima Rd., Scottsdale, 480-596-9787.
