Unassuming both inside and out, the iconic eatery doesn't have to rely on a fancy atmosphere to bring in customers. Its authentic menu, with options ranging from Navajo tacos to combination plates, does all the talking.

Locals also go wild for Guayo's On the Trail, a family-owned and operated Mexican restaurant that has served the Globe community since 1938.

The three-page menu takes a while to sift through, but you'll be glad you did. It has some real gems, from carne asada (the house specialty) to comforting menudo, albondigas, and everything in between.

Los Robertos (now Los Ronabertos) is the place to go when you want quality Mexican food, fast.

This quick-service joint offers all the usual suspects - enchiladas, tacos, rice, beans, and more - with the added bonus of a drive-thru.

Chalo's Casa Reynoso is another Globe treasure, established by the famous Reynoso family who went on to open several restaurants throughout the Valley.
