Mexican Restaurants in Phoenix

Although Phoenix does not claim to be the Mexican food capital of the United States (as does Tucson, its neighbor to the South), Phoenix Mexican restaurants do not disappoint when it comes to breadth or depth. Consider our number two pick, Barrio Cafe. This central Phoenix staple has earned a reputation for fresh, creative takes on classic dishes that will change the way you look at Mexican food. Our number one pick, Los Dos Molinos, specializes in Sonoran-style Mexican food that has remained consistently delicious over the years. It's the perfect place to have a nice, leisurely family dinner during your next visit to the Valley of the Sun.

Many Phoenix Mexican restaurants dish out down home Mexican cooking like nobody's business, but nobody does it so quite so quickly or economically as they do over at Carolina's, our number eight pick. This shabby South Phoenix gem is the go-to favorite for locals in the know who appreciate the inimitable flavors of a homemade white flour tortilla. And for traditional Mexico City-style street tortas, Los Reyes de las Tortas (The Kings of Tortas), will offer you a grilled sandwich like you've never had before.
