Description

You haven't lived until you've tried El Bravo's machaca burro. This small, pleasant restaurant makes some of the best flour tortillas around, and its green chile burros are hard to beat, too. It's also one of the few places in town serving Navajo tacos, and popovers with honey and powdered sugar.

The menu's filled with other temptations, too -- like burros made with thin, homemade tortillas, and a unique, house-specialty machaca made with dried beef and eggs -- but we can always save room for a tamale. And now that El Bravo has a second... More »

  • 2000 | Best AZ-Mex Restaurant

    A glance at El Bravo's menu is deceptively ho-hum -- beef burros, chicken tacos, chimichangas, combo plates. Don't be fooled. This food may sound like Taco Bell, but it tastes authentic. Everything is made fresh in the restaurant's open kitchen, and owner Carmen Tafoya isn't shy about sneaking in the spices where appropriate -- her red chile beef packs a mean left hook. The tanker-size tamales are fluffy; the chicken green corn positively floats off the plate, studded with lots of fresh... More »
