Down the road from my job!

Bill clinton ate there while he was President and they painted him eating in the room he sat in. kinda odd but cool!

I always said that AZ mexican food was WEAK compared to everywhere else!

I ate at a place in chicago and it was awesome!! HUGE burritos and So good!

I have no Idea what it was called cause I was wasted!

i disagree, though Chicago has some great mexican food restuarants no doubt (chi-town!). I've always really enjoyed Phoenix's mexican restaurants and miss them whenever i travel abroad/out of state.

Ever been to Boston? The only mexican food you can find there is burritos. I love burritos but they are not the only food to come out of mexico.

we have tons of cool shit: taco stands and carts, hot dog carts, gourmet mexican, regional cuisines and lots of good mariscos places!!

Ponchos? that place on Southern near Alma School? really? if it is I think it's mediocre at best.

Mexico is a big place (lots of regions). There are more kinds of Mexican than one.

Maybe I have just lived here my whole life and dont appreciate what I have or maybe Im just tired of it so anything outside of here seems better to me. Nothing beats my mother in laws cooking so well In the end I guess the best Mexican food I ever had is in AZ. Dang! thanks for making me think about that Jacki! Oh and wait really There is mexican food other than Burritos? WTF?? Who knew?

I would rather sit here and drink cups of Macayos baja sauce then eat mexican food from any other state.

word. i get that.

other side of the coin:
i grew up in a place that didn't have a lot choices so i love what phoenix has to offer.

and nothing beats home cooking.....except maybe watching someone drink Macayo's baja sauce.

[P xDITIx]

I made my own sauce and it is fucking amazing. make it and put it on your enchiladas.

Put equal amounts of cream cheese and sour cream into a bowl.
add red wine of your choice into mix until it it thins out.
zest a lime and squeeze the juice into it.

YUMMY!

[MikeyWretch]

MMM squirting Macayo's baja sauce on a picture of a girls face from craigs list sounds awesome!

actually, i think it's on central, just north of baseline (or in that area). there's probably more than one poncho's, but that's the place i'm thinking of. i know bill clinton ate at that one. i ate their once. we only went in because it was a 2 hour wait at los dos molinos, and this place was nearby.

i remember thinking it was good, but i don't know that i'd rate it as the 4th best mexican restaurant in the US. i probably wouldn't even rate it as the 4th best mexican in phoenix. but we have a whole other thread related to that topic. either way, good for them for getting the recognition.

[fatguyaz]

i would assume the best mexican food is in mexico.
I would venture to guess that Yahoo! people are pretty white, though.

You're a Yahoo!

[differently biotic]

poncho's is central/basline and I think they list it because a president ate there. I like it but it's not the best. I could drink their red sauce though. nomnomnom

pancho's is that chain buffet places
