Mexican meat markets in Phoenix serve more than steak | Exclusive

At carnicerías around metro Phoenix, the smell of seasoned meats cooking on a grill out front or on a flattop behind the hot-food counter mixes with the aroma of freshly baked pan dulce, sold under an umbrella of colorful piñatas hanging from the ceiling.
