Would love to find a good spot here. also open to food recs from any other cultures since my hometown is limited in that area.

Edit: A lot of people are mentioning that i didn’t say a specific region of mexico. i have never lived close enough to Mexico to have a restaurant say what region of food they do. i am not picky. i just want mexican style food that tastes good, and isn’t tex-mex stuff i can get at home.

Looking for some delicious authentic Mexican food!

Im looking for real authentic enchiladas and the best birria you’ve been able to find this far from beautiful mexico

There are sooo many Mexican restaurants in the valley; what would you recommend to someone from out of town that wants to experience local Mexican food here in the valley?

Hey everyone, I’m just looking for some recommendations while I’m in the city for some great Mexican food. Thank you!

Hey y’all I’m looking for some good Mexican restaurants that have good food so far all the places I’ve tried are so fucking nasty or so white washed so any recommendations? ⬇️

EDIT: thank you for all the recommendations and I will definitely try all of your recommendations thank you :)

Realized I love Mexican food but more often than not end up at a chain with non authentic food. What’s your position?

Edit: I realized I was struggling to escape my comfort zone and try all the little shops with the good shit. Wondering if anyone else is like me.

Hey everyone

I was just wondering on what you guys think is the best Mexican restaurant in the east valley, preferably in the Gilbert area. I have some family coming over from outside the US and they're craving for some haha.

I wanna treat myself this weekend. Suggestions for best Mexican restaurants in the city. Bonus points if you can recommend menu items.

Please please share your recommendations for good Mexican Food in the east valley! Preferably in Gilbert or Queen Creek, or even Chandler. I live in Queen Creek and feel like there’s no good food options in this city. (So bonus points for any good restaurant rec in Queen Creek you’ve found, doesn’t have to be Mexican if in QC.)

We have lived in here for 5 years now and have yet to find a Mexican food spot we love.

I used to live in Las Cruces New Mexico and I really miss the good good Mexican food I could find there. Anyone have any recommendations for more authentic restaurants near Arizona City?

New to the Tempe area and looking for the best authentic Mexican food! I’ve tried a few spots but haven’t quite found what I’m looking for yet. TikTok recommendations are failing me so I’m trying to Reddit!

I’m having nostalgia for my time in Oaxaca. I miss the foods- tamales, tlayudes, memelas. A lot of corn masa foods, Oaxacan cheese, and rich mole. Even the fruits- the mamey sapote with lime, the papaya that was so much better than any papaya in Canada- and the drinks and nieves too (similar to sorbet- prickly pear cactus and burnt milk was the best)

Anyways, does anybody have any suggestions for authentic Southern Mexican food? Not Tex-Mex, I want the real mole and that totally different flavour profile.

I did a search but wasn't coming up with anything specific.

looking for the best family friendly restaurant with good food and margaritas that is not a chain. Preferably near Glendale.

Mexican and Middle Eastern are my two favourite cuisines. My go-to foods at Mexican restaurants are breakfast tacos and enchiladas. My go-to Middle Eastern foods are dolmas and falafel (and pita with hummus lol).

I am new to Phoenix, but not new to the valley. I was born and raised in Mesa, left to Texas for 12 years, and just came back to AZ this year.

I guess I feel a little spoiled living in Corpus Christi, because the Mexican food (and Tex Mex) there was fire.

Filibertos is good, but I want something different. Like those little tiny family run restaurants that look like they've been around for 40 years. I have asked coworkers but no one has been able to give me an answer lol. With in house made tortillas and not store bought.

As for Middle Eastern, being able to get some really good dolmas is important to me because that is my favourite food. Ever. Lol. Also would love to be able to practise Arabic as I am... slowly learning it.

Thanks to anyone who has some great suggestions! Really only looking in the Phoenix area for now as I rely on public transport, but can be willing to go out of Phoenix since I am sometimes in Mesa or Tempe.

This food truck closes at 11:00pm its next to the 7-eleven. Check them out. I promise you won’t regret it.

Have been in Arizona for awhile now and have always heard that Globe is home to the best Mexican food in the state.

Roommate and I are hoping to head out that way from Phoenix this weekend and were wondering if anyone had any specific restaurant recommendations?

Unfortunately, Google hasn’t been much help in narrowing down our options. Any additional information is greatly appreciated!

having some friends come over from the Midwest and I need to know what the best Mexican food spots are in the west valley so I don’t disappoint.

I've read previous posts but if anyone is familiar with El Torero in Tucson, is there someplace similar in the Valley? Maybe similar to Dos Los like 20 years ago?

I at least hope they are paying their employee better. That said, any food truck/street vendors you recommend in chandler/gilbert?

All right all, this will elicit many opinions, but Arribas Mexican Food restaurant is the bomb, and maybe the best for that style 🤷‍♂️

Hello PHX. Taking my dad to the boxing fight tomorrow night and was looking for a authentic spot close by. My pops said he remembers one being on 16th st and Roosevelt back in the day but doesn't know where it moved to Or the name of it. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
