Since we weren’t able to visit the DD&D steakhouse, we decided to try one of the featured cafes for lunch on the 4th of July. We pulled up to a very small café with a couple of steps to enter, and there was plenty of parking on the street. Someone opened the door and let us know they would open the back door so that we could use the ramp. Although there was a table set at the end of the ramp, they were very nice and tried their best to accommodate us in their small space. The waitress was very pleasant and knowledgeable about their menu. She even had a special appetizer made for us when my uncle described a cheese crisp (popular in Arizona but unknown in the rest of the United States). It looked a bit more like nachos, but it was covered in cheese and green chilis just like he asked (top left below). We all ordered something different, and everything was full of flavor. I got a combo plate (top right below) so I could try a little of everything; it had a ground beef taco, a chicken enchilada, and a chili relleno filled with cheese and deep fried in a corn batter. The pintos were served whole instead of refried and covered with shredded cheese, and I was given a choice of red or green chili to spread on top of my food. Michael got the ground beef tacos (middle right below), and he cleaned his plate. My aunt got the chicken enchiladas with blue corn tortillas (middle left below), and my uncle got beans and chicharron in a burrito (bottom left below). I couldn’t pass up the opportunity for a basket of warm sopapillas for dessert (bottom right below), and I’m glad I didn’t. They were definitely freshly made and brought to us hot with honey, a perfect ending to our delicious meal.
