  • 1. Anita's Cocina

  • 2. Chalo's

    $

    A Globe mainstay, Chalo's offers just what you'd expect from a small-town Mexican restaurant: old-school dishes and very few frills. Fortunately, what Chalo's lacks in aesthetics is offset by its great food. Try the savory stuffed sopapillas, filled with pork and beef, beans, and red or green chiles. It's a favorite among locals, so plan for an early lunch or dinner to avoid a wait.

    902 E. Ash St., Globe, Arizona, 85501, USA

    Known For

    • Serving the same dishes since opening in 1969

    • Good meal before driving to Eastern Arizona

  • 3. Horny Toad Restaurant

    $$$

    Cave Creek's oldest restaurant is a rustic spot for barbecued pork ribs and steak, but the real star is the fried chicken. The quirky menu features a range of fare from soup "de joor" to Icelandic cod and carne asada.

    6738 E. Cave Creek Rd., Cave Creek, Arizona, 85331, USA
    480-488–9542

    Known For

    • Kid-friendly environment
    • A bit of a Cave Creek–meets–Woodstock feel
    • Homemade barbecue sauce

  • 4. Rancho Pinot

    $$$$ | Central Scottsdale

    The attention to quality here makes this one of the town's most lauded dining spots. The minimalist cowboy decor and almost secret-handshake location are forgotten upon the first bite of food and replaced with taste-bud heaven. The inventive menu changes daily, depending on what's fresh. If you're lucky, you'll get a crack at the flatiron steak with pancetta and chimichurri sauce, the handmade pasta with fennel and chicken meatballs, or Nonni's chicken. Organic and locally grown and raised ingredients are used whenever possible, which is just another reason why you'll want to return.

    6208 N. Scottsdale Rd., Scottsdale, Arizona, 85253, USA
    480-367–8030

    Known For

    • Seeing your meal prepared in the open kitchen
    • Neighborhood vibe, despite its Valley-wide draw
    • Locally grown ingredients

    Restaurant Details

    Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. May--Sept., and 1st 2 wks of July. No lunch, Credit cards accepted
  • 5. Tonto Bar & Grill at Rancho Mañana

    $$$$

    Old West ambience emanates from every corner of the Tonto Bar & Grill, from the hand-carved ceiling beams to the latilla-covered (stick-covered) patios with views of the pristine Sonoran Desert. Try the cowboy Cobb salad or the Tonto burger piled with fried onions and cheddar for lunch; root beer–braised short ribs or onion-crusted walleye are good choices at dinner.

    5736 E. Rancho Manana Blvd., Cave Creek, Arizona, 85331, USA
    480-488–0698

    Known For

    • Eclectic fare far beyond Cave Creek cowboy grub
    • Almost year-round comfortable dining on the patio
    • Menu featuring Native American and Southwest ingredients
