Arizona has some very unique places to dine. From a restaurant hundreds of feet underground in a cave to the oldest Mexican restaurant in the U.S., when we’re seeking a dining experience unlike all the others, we can find it here in Arizona. One such place is hidden in plain sight. And without the sign out front…
It looks a little quirky; so much so, that if you don’t see the sign, you’d never guess it’s a restaurant.
