Phoenix Ranch Market

The biggest Ranch Market to date in Arizona, with about 53,000 square feet of Mexican foodstuffs in one space. This blockbuster supermercado boasts its own food court, a pescadería with a mariscos stand at which to eat ceviche, a tortillería pumping out tortillas nonstop, an agua fresca stand, carnicería, panadería, and so much more besides. Like a Mexican mini-city on its own, and well worth the trip, whether it’s for a cheap lunch of tacos or tortas in “La Cocina” (the kitchen) or perusing RM’s magnificent produce section, with everything from barrels of whole jicama to rows of dried chiles. Everyone should go; it’s a cultural extravaganza.
