Off-Season Travel to Duck Creek Village: Why Quiet Times Are the Best Times

Mexican food in Arizona is in a class of its own, influenced by Sonoran culinary traditions that differ significantly from Tex-Mex or California-style Mexican cuisine. Exploring these flavors is an essential part of any Arizona vacation.

Sonoran Mexican Food You Must Try

Sonoran hot dogs are wrapped in bacon and loaded with beans, salsa, and mustard. Carne seca — dried beef rehydrated and cooked with green chiles — is a regional specialty. Green corn tamales are available seasonally and worth seeking out. Chimichanga, the deep-fried burrito, was invented in Arizona and remains a local favorite.
