Phoenix-Mex
Spending time in Phoenix is a very fortunate thing. If you can avoid the hot months, it’s some of the most fantastic weather in the world. The days are warm, and the nights are cool, and it’s usually dry, offering splendid views of the sunset over the mountains. The local culture is a fascinating blend of nationalities and backgrounds, and there are many subcultures here. Like in any big city, there’s something for everyone, and there are many different extremes. It’s possible to find something interesting to do most any night of the year, and even when it’s slow, it’s easy enough to take off for a day trip in any direction and find some splendid little ghost towns, lakes, forests, and mountains. It’s a great place to come to relax, and in Phoenix, luxury hotels have their craft down to an art form
You’ll be treated to really magnificent hospitality, fed by the tradition of taking good care of tourists here, along with the latest fashions of the hospitality industries, which are thriving in Phoenix. It’s come a long way in the past few decades, growing from a small big city in the desert to a thriving metropolis where the desert is still visible. There are some spectacular things to do and to see here, and lots of people opt for golfing, swimming, and spas, and there are some of the loveliest of those in the world here. There is also an incredible number of amazing Mexican restaurants, of course, offering splendid ranges of food, from the dirt cheap to the top shelf in elegance.
One of the local favorites of all of these happens to be some of the cheapest as well. Visitors don’t often believe the advice, but there are some small taco stands on corners in town that serve up the most fantastic taste combinations imaginable. They’re often hard to find, unless you ask someone who has lived here for a few years. One of the best of these is El Norteño, an unassuming little building on a corner in downtown Phoenix. It is hard to miss, and hard to believe it when you see it, but if you watch for a little while, there is a steady stream of cars that park here throughout the day, and it does a pretty brisk business almost every day of the year. It should. The food is not only very cheap, but very tasty. For burritos and a side of rice, this is the best example of Phoenix-Mex there is, and sets the underground standard that others can only hope to follow.
