For Over 60 Years, This Family-Owned Phoenix Mexican Restaurant Has Served Cheese Crisps The Old Way
Some Phoenix restaurants chase trends every season. This one has spent decades doing almost the opposite. On a quiet stretch south of downtown, a plain counter-serve building has kept the line moving with homemade flour tortillas, a menu that barely needs updating, and a crowd that includes police officers, office workers, tourists, and families who have been coming since the 1960s. One longtime regular recalls visiting the place 55 to 60 years ago, tagging along on work calls.

The 3 best pies in metro Phoenix, according to our dining critic
I love walking into a pie shop and smelling the sugar in the air as I try to narrow down my options. The smell of baked goods is the only food smell I’d gladly wear on my clothes or in my hair. Pies, for me, signal comfort, family and friends. They represent unique people, regions and history. They fit into every season and nearly every occasion. Yes, even for weddings. My husband preferred pie, especially apple pie, to cake for his August birthday. So, naturally, I have an apple pie on the list. While there are tons of pie options at pie shops in metro Phoenix to choose from, these three are my current favorites. Banana Cream Pie at Piefection I'm typically not a cream pie person. When I bought the banana cream pie based on staff recommendation, I did so with some trepidation. Piefection converted me. The pie's silky, rich banana flavor with banana slices set against a crunchy crust made every bite perfect. While pies are generally heavy, this one is light and fluffy. I must admit, their key lime pie is a close second. Details: 6731 E. Brown Road, #104, Mesa. And 9015 E. Via Linda #103,

North Phoenix's Tamale store taking pre-orders for seasonal tamales

Why it matters: Tamales can — and certainly should — be enjoyed year-round, but they're also a Christmas staple, which means there can be quite the rush at your favorite tamale place. State of play: Christmas pre-ordering is now open at the Tamale Store . The north Phoenix institution is at 15842 N. Cave Creek Road, at the intersection with Greenway Parkway. Flashback: The Tamale Store began as a small family business 18 years ago, selling tamales at farmers markets and local grocery stores. Eight years ago it moved into its current location, which is both storefront and restaurant. "We're a family business. It's my mom's recipe. She absolutely was obsessed with tamales, still to this day," co-owner Pauline Alvarado tells Axios. Zoom in: The store has 20 varieties of frozen tamale with a rotating menu at the restaurant that changes daily or sometimes hourly depending on what they sell out of. The best-sellers are pork red chile, chicken green chile, and green corn and cheese. Between the lines: They've got a rotating menu of seasonal
