La Piñata Mexican Restaurant

$$ · Phoenix, Arizona

Opened by the Bugarin family in 1970 and self-proclaimed Home of the Chimichanga, credited with first crowning that deep-fried burro with sour cream, guac, and cheese. A red-sauce Sonoran classic that has outlasted trends the way a saguaro outlasts droughts.
