Founded in 1875, Globe is a historic Gila County mining town with a population of just over 7,500. Its downtown district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, featuring many buildings that are at least a century old.
In addition to its rich history, Globe is also known for having some of the best Mexican food in Arizona. There's a delicious restaurant on practically every corner, with J & R's El Rey Fine Mexican Food being among the most famous.
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.
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.
Chalo's Casa Reynoso is another Globe treasure, established by the famous Reynoso family who went on to open several restaurants throughout the Valley.
You can taste the love and expertise poured into the generations-old recipes, and the restaurant will quickly become one of your favorites when the Mexican food craving strikes.
