    Where I grew up (nowhere near Arizona) we had a restaurant run by an American man and his native Mexican wife. They had food there I've never seen anywhere else because it was specific to the region she came from. And it was to.die.for.

    They got tired of running the restaurant and just shut it down, auctioned off the bits and left town one day. I think they went to Arizona.

    I'm in AZ too -- Tri-State area. Seems like most of you guys are in the civilized part of the state! Clearly I missed the boat..... or sand taxi.

    I've heard the Mexican food in Arizona is really good. I don't really like TexMex or Colorado-style Mex, but good, real Mexican food is the best. THE BEST.
    The Mexican food here is amazing.

    Sonoron style Mexican food is mouthgasmic.

    Oh, and SofaKingRad? We are having an AZ people meetup before too long, in Phx. All what - 5 of us? - in AZ. :)

    Wait - I make 6! :wink:

    LOL...I got the Suprise! Part :P
  • Not from Arizona, but did my MBA at Thunderbird, School of Global Management (in Glendale/Phoenix).

    Live in Mexico City where the Mexican food is even better than Arizona. Only a few hours away from Puebla, Veracruz and Oaxaca (in different directions) where the cusine is even better than here.

    AZ born and raised... Glendale (soon to be Tempe) currently.

    Anyone heard of Kearny?

    Yeah, the place that the streets are alphabetical and they get to "J"? That's where I grew up, good times!

    I'm in denial! We should be friends.
  • Surprise! I'm in AZ as well.

    Yeah, what is the backstory behind the name Surprise? Someone told me once, but I forgot. I've always thought it would be fun to move there just to see people's reactions when I give them my address.

    Don't forget one of the best foods to come out of the region: the Navajo Taco.

    Nope... but I used to live in Scottsdale. I seriously just had a dream about veggie cream cheese from Lox, Stock, & Bagel on McCormick. (What I miss most?)

    Didn't we give that region away to avoid the maintenance fees? ; )

    Az rules! I'm in Scottsdale, AND one of the 11 natives left in the state.

    Way too many great breweries here to justify consume that swill! I even take Az beer to Mexico these days.
